Flashback

Kongpob was on cloud nine when he won the campus moon title. Not because of the title but because he won the bet against Arthit. He never wanted to taunt his victory to Arthit's face. He just wanted an opportunity to confess his love.

He was planning to take Arthit on a date and confess his love for the other and ask for a chance to pursue his love.

Kongpob knows that he is a man and Arthit is also a man. The chance of Arthit rejecting him is very high. But he didn't want to give up on his first love without giving it a chance otherwise he would regret it for his entire life. 

Everything was going well. Kongpob was planning a full day's date and ways to ask him out or how to convince Arthit. But all ruined when the fourth year hazers step into the hazing activities and punish Arthit.

That was the worst day in kongpob's life. He never felt so helpless and vulnerable in his entire life. His love was running in the rain but he couldn't do anything but watch him suffering. 

When Arthit stumbled down after finishing his last lap he wanted to run to him and hold him in his arms. He wanted to take Arthit away from the University, his friends, seniors , everyone who hurted him, who were doing nothing to stop Arthit from running but watching silently. He wanted to hide Arthit from this cruel world. He wanted to hug him close to his chest and say that everything is fine and he is fine. He will be there for him no matter what.

But what hurted him the most was when he went to hold Arthit, he shoved him away. He didn't even let him touch him and walk away with his friends. That hurted him more than anything in the world. He didn't even feel this much pain when his dog died.

Kongpob's mind was a mess. He couldn't sleep the entire night. He was tossing and turning the whole night, waiting for the sun to rise. He has heard from his friends that Arthit fainted after running and the hazers took him to the hospital.  He doesn't know when his eyes closed and he fell asleep.

Kongpob jumps from the bed when he hears the alarm. He turned it off and threw it on the bed lazily. He lay still on the bed gazing at the sealing. He didn't feel like going for his usual work out. He felt so depressed that he thought of taking off from University. He messages his friends that he won't be able to attend the class.

After messaging his friends, Kongpob walks to the balcony and looks at the opposite room. The room's lights were still off and curtains were still closed.Kongpob sighs and lit a cigarette and smokes while looking at the closed window.

Kongpob was loitering in the cafeteria to buy himself a drink. That was when he met his senior Prem with pink milk. Suddenly his heart feels like it just ran a marathon. It started to beat wildly in his chest. He knows that person who drinks this sweet pink drink. He was sure that the drink was not for Prem but someone else.

Kongpob greeted Prem, hiding his nervousness. "Is that your drink  phi?" He asks, masking his nervousness with a calm tone. 

Prem just nods his head without saying anything. "Ohh.. phi has such a cute taste in drinks" Kongpob says in a dejected voice.

Kongpob feels like he is the favorite child of God. He was happily going to see his precious phi. Prem got something urgent and asked him if he could deliver the food to Arthit. Kongpob jumps happily inside his head and still pretends to be annoyed by the unexpected food delivery.

Kongpob took a deep breath before knocking the door, when Kongpob raised his hand to knock on the door he heard some noise from inside. Kongpob frowns in confusion and puts his ear on the door. He can hear the voice of a girl. Kongpob wonders who it could be as it was a men's dormitory and continues to listen to their conversation.
