Meen, a fifth-year medical student, enjoys a dedicated academic lifestyle enriched by the delightful presence of friends such as Bon, Flint, Kim, Baikhao, and Pokpong. One day, Meen's mother sends Tul, the son of a close friend who has recently passed the entrance exam for engineering at Chiang Mai University, the country's premier institution, to stay with Meen and tasks him with looking after Tul. Meen views this as a favorable chance for Tul to move into a dormitory close to the university, allowing Tul to take care of Nirand instead. However, before the move, Meen discovers that beneath Tul’s academic success lies a battle with depression. Motivated by his medical knowledge and empathy, Meen selflessly decides to forgo the dormitory arrangement to support and care for Tul. As they share living space for a time, their bond evolves from mere “brothers” into something deeper. Both face the dilemma of whether to pursue a romantic relationship or to remain just “brothers” in order to achieve their personal aspirations.
