Synopsis
[edit ]Sun (Krittanun Aunchananun), the perfect son and tennis player, and Bay (Teshow Promsakha Na Sakonnakhon) an independent arts student and winner of multiple art awards, have fathers who have hated each other since before their school days. Their families own rival Dim Sun restaurants on Krong Thong Road. One day, Sun negotiates a truce with Bay to enjoy their final semester together, but Bay deliberately enters a tennis tryout to annoy Sun one last time. Enraged, Sun joins the match to teach Bay a lesson and ends up losing due to injury. The principal orders a rematch, but their fathers conspire to make a deal: the losing son must close down their family's restaurant for good.
On the crucial match day, and accident befalls both sons and the principal orders them both to play together as a doubles pair in an upcoming tournament. Bay and Sun are stunned but agree, keeping their burgeoning friendship a secret from their fathers. Helping them out on that front is tennis coach Kong (Wachirawit Ruangwiwat), who seems to be spending a lot of time with Bay's older brother, Boat (Harit Cheewagaroon). During a training camp at a countryside resort, the sons begin to open up to each other, but their fathers' animosity remains.
Bay and Sun make a bet of their own: if they win the men's doubles championship then their fathers would have to let them be together, but if they lose, they'll never see each other again.[5]
