## Synopsis

Taking off from the Kiss Me Again series, Pete (Tawan Vihokratana) and Kao (Thitipoom Techaapaikhun), who is still closeted from his mother, have grown closer to each other in their relationship. As his sister goes to college, Kao contributes to his family's finances by taking on part-time tutoring for high school students. The director of the school where his mom works asks Kao to tutor his son, Non (Chayapol Jutamas), after hearing that he is a good tutor. Pete crosses paths with Non in a competition and pisses him off after learning that Kao is tutoring him. With Non fueling Pete's jealousy, his relationship with Kao gets tested in several occasions.
Sun (Supakorn Sriphotong), who was pursuing Kao before, has been nagging Mork (Gawin Caskey) for dragging his younger brother, Rain (Pluem Pongpisal), into his troubles. To help Mork change his life, Sun offers Mork a job in his café. Along the way, the two of them start to care for each other. However, with Mork's dangerous life still troubling him, Sun makes it clear that he is there because he cares for him.
