Synopsis
Type (Kanawut Traipipattanapong) is a hot-tempered university freshman who hates gays. Once he enters university he decides to leave his hometown and stay in a dorm, eventually sharing a room with fellow freshman Tharn (Suppasit Jongcheveevat), a music major. Tharn is a kind and handsome guy who plays drums but unbeknownst to Type, he is actually gay. Type's best friend Techno (Suttinut Uengtrakul) later finds out about Tharn's sexual orientation. When Techno tells Type about the matter, Type immediately bursts into rage. He tries various ways to kick Tharn out of the room, going as far as ruining Tharn's properties.
