Plot

After Arthit dismisses Kongpob from the latest Sotus session for heroism, Kongpob makes another pass at Arthit. The juniors demand a freshman class president.

The junior hazers demand a class president from the freshmen. Fortunately, Freshy Contest duties back Kongpob's wish to opt out. Maprang shares a Japanese tradition for connecting love with your crush, which May enacts towards Kongpob. Minnie shares a secret reprimand that's befallen Arthit over a student's collapse while under his supervision. A chance meeting at a cafe forces Kongpob to have a meal with Arthit, where he's given two more punishments to perform along with an introduction to pink milk.—statmanjeff

As the cheer squad led by Yacht teaches the freshmen how to cheer, the hazing juniors interrupt. Arthit, displeased with the freshmen, makes the cheer squad perform the cheer repeatedly to get it right so that they can pass it on properly. Fed up with seeing others punished, Kongpob asks to do the cheer himself on behalf of the cheer squad. Request denied, and Kongpob is thrown out for trying to be a hero. First M, then Tew, then May, then Oak, then others interrupt to request performing the cheer in place of the punished cheer squad. Arthit finally allows it but will not allow Kongpob to stay.

Following the session, the juniors discuss where to eat when they spot Kongpob sitting alone outside the building waiting for his friends. Arthit explains he kicked Kongpob out because he was becoming a hero; the presence of a hero will arrest his classmates' development of independent action and make them ever dependent on a leader to step up and fix their problems. Because of the favorable behavior of the other freshmen, Arthit will allow Kongpob to attend the next session - but no more being a hero. Kongpob understands.

Before Arthit leaves, Kongpob asks him why he was punished in the cafeteria back on that day when he asked for Arthit's signature. He wasn't being a hero then. Arthit asks him why he thinks he was punished; Kongpob believes Arthit did it because he has a crush on Kongpob. This takes Arthit aback. Kongpob explains further that people with crushes are likely to pull pranks to get the object of their desire's attention. Since Arthit likes to punish Kongpob for fun, his crush is evident. Arthit, other than to say "You're wrong," is again at a loss for words. Spotting Kongpob's friends watching them nearby, Arthit tells them all to go home and leaves.

M asks Kongpob what he did THIS time to upset Arthit, and Kongpob says he did nothing but pull a small prank of his own. M wonders why Kongpob would pull a prank on such a scary guy.

Early the next day, Kongpob discovers that his room lines up directly across the courtyard from Arthit's room.

It's a hot day and Maprang brings Coca-Colas to share with May and a classmate. As May sleeps, she tells the classmate of a Japanese tradition, whereby a crush becomes a love if you write the person's name on an eraser and finish the eraser without anyone else touching it. It's suggested that Myprang try this on Yacht, whom she likes. May still sleeps, so the girls awaken her with a cold touch of the Coca-Cola bottles. May awakens and asks what they were talking about and Myprang says she'll tell her later.

Prae isn't with them. She's the engineers' selection for Freshy Girl, as is Kongpob for Freshy Boy. At mention of how handsome and single Kongpob is, May drifts away in thought. The other girls notice May's wondering attention but don't connect that it's due to a crush on Kongpob. A text arrives on Myprang's cell phone, reminding her of today's quiz. Distressed, Myprang takes May and leaves.

Myprang, May and Prae arrive together just in time to take a quiz paper and a seat. May can't find her eraser, so Kongpob, seated two seats away with two erasers, gives her one of his. The quiz begins.

The quiz ends and the teacher tells them to enjoy their hazing meeting. May, looking for something to say to Kongpob, thanks him for giving her his name tag. How did he acquire a new name tag? He found it in his locker, with no knowledge of who put it there. Wasn't he afraid of the hazers punishing him for attending without a name tag? Better him than her, he says.

Overhearing them, a music cue reveals introverted M has a crush on May. He interrupts to say that he and Kongpob need to go change for the next hazing session. The boys go, and May happily puts Kongpob's eraser in her bag.

Knot leads the hazing session for a lesson. Among the seated freshmen, Oak expresses his opinion that Knot will be less strict than Arthit. Oak is immediately shouted at for talking. Hazing junior Bright hopes aloud that they haven't forgotten about their signature books. One thousand signatures are needed. M only has six or seven, while Oak only has a little over two hundred. Again the boys are shouted at for talking.

Knot stands formidably before Tew and asks to see his book. Knot looks through the book, hands it back without comment, then return to the front. Oak wonders to M why Tew didn't get in trouble; M speculates that Tew probably has lots of signatures. Up front, Bright asks what they all were doing in the past week instead of completing their books. Knot questions the freshmen's desire to be engineering students.

Kongpob sees Arthit appear in the doorway but not enter the room.

Knot gives the freshmen a task: Nominate one class president before 5:00 tomorrow. Arthit turns away and leaves. Knot, so his time won't be wasted further, ends the session.

In the hallway, Kongpob looks to see where Arthit got to, but without success.

It's evening when Kongpob returns to his darkened room. He first lies on the bed then goes to the window where he spots Arthit across the way hanging up his dried laundry (which pleases Kongpob).

May, in her room, writes Kongpob's name on the eraser.

The next day, Kongpob meets with Ple in the cafeteria. She passes him a bag of textbooks and handouts that he might find useful (with unused ones to be eventually passed down to another student). Ple has to get to class and promptly disappears.

Kongpob sits in his own class with M and Oak when a student rushes into the doorway to say the hazing juniors want a class president candidate by 3:00 instead of 5:00.

A small group of freshmen brainstorm in the cafeteria for a candidate. M suggests it be someone who can argue with the hazing juniors. All agree. Tew asks Kongpob, but Kongpob backs out, saying he's unfit for the job (and likely avoiding the hero issue). Minnie (a fat effeminate gay junior) enters to take Kongpob away for Freshy Boy preparations. With their main candidate gone, the rest fret over who next to select. A student rushes in to say the hazers are coming. Oak suggest Tew. Roughly, the idea catches on. With nearly five hundred signatures in his book, he is obviously "closest" to the upperclassmen. Under the deadline (and considering that the position could be refilled later), Tew concedes.

Minnie pulls Kongpob into a photo session, where cameraman Boat already works with Praepailin. Prae asks Kongpob how the class president selection went, and Kongpob reports that things were still undecided when he left them. Minnie pulls Kongpob aside and lets Boat continue with Prae. Kongpob asks Minnie to sign his book (which Minnie happily does) and further asks what happened to Arthit not leading the latest hazing session. Though Minnie isn't supposed to tell, he finds Kongpob too adorable to resist and reveals (making Kongpob promise not to repeat it) that Arthit has been dismissed from being a hazer due to his lead in excessive shouting early on and the recent incident with the hyperventilating girl having a seizure. Because of a professor's intervention, the juniors have since been scared to be harsh with Kongpob.

Back in his room at 9:20, Kongpob dry rubs his freshly washed hair and receives a call from M to come play. Kongpob declines. Across the way, Arthit's room sits dark.

Kongpob visits the Pranang Chicken Noodle restaurant for a meal and is serendipitously seated with Arthit. With the place packed with patrons, the proprietress leads Kongpob to the only available chair at a small table, where Arthit sits opposite, face buried in a newspaper. Kongpob asks if he can sit with him. Arthit says "go ahead" and Kongpob thanks him by name. Arthit suddenly looks up from his paper and, now recognizing Kongpob, asks him what he's doing there. With Kongpob about to sit, Arthit then asks who said he could, and Kongpob reminds him that he, Arthit himself, just said so.

The proprietress takes Kongpob's order, and Arthit judges it a childish meal for lacking spiciness, calling Kongpob a pussy for his unadventurous dietary blandness. Just then a waitress comes by with their drink orders - pink milk for Arthit. Embarrassed, Arthit tries to claim it as a mistake, but the waitress says there's no mistake; he always orders pink milk. Kongpob is amused that such a hazer like Arthit also likes pink milk (implying it as unmasculine as did Arthit for Kongpob's rice dish).

Their food arrives together, but before they eat, Arthit orders Kongpob to recite the Prayer Before Meals to him - loudly - with loudness to represent his depth of gratitude for the rice. Humiliated, Kongpob complies, much to the amusement of the other patrons, but Arthit decides Kongpob didn't show enough gratitude for the rice, so he switches meals with him, forcing Kongpob to eat the spicier, more manly meal that contains NO rice. This he does as a "kind offer" for Kongpob. The food also isn't salty enough, so Arthit "flavors up" Kongpob's meal for him.

A call summons Arthit immediately away. Before leaving, he orders Kongpob to finish every morsel. In return, Kongpob tells Arthit to please take good care of himself. Arthit finds this statement strange and leaves. Kongpob, indeed, finishes every bite of food, but when he's ready to leave, he learns Arthit already paid for the meals. Kongpob orders a pink milk before going and tries it.
