The first assembly for Engineering and Industrial Technology freshman at Felloww University starts off welcomingly but soon sours from nine glowering seniors, headed by Arthit, imposing their unfriendly will and setting impossible-to-fulfill orientation tasks. Freshman Kongpob takes a stand against their misused authority, responding with a bold comeback that furthers the admiration of his freshman peers.

Episode #1.2

40 mins

As hazing continues, more and more freshmen avoid the harsh Sotus sessions. With the issue of viciousness dividing the juniors between having gone too far or not far enough, Prem, taking the reins of a session to teach respect, only makes matters worse. As senior Deer appears with intent to retrain the juniors in what respect means, Arthit attempts to make a belittling example of Kongpob, which almost totally explodes back upon Arthit and later brings a statement from Kongpob that puts Arthit beyond words.

The junior hazers demand a class president from the freshmen. Fortunately, Freshy Contest duties back Kongpob's wish to opt out. Maprang shares a Japanese tradition for connecting love with your crush, which May enacts towards Kongpob.

Episode 4

Episode #1.4

38 mins

Arthit announces the suspension of all hazing activities so that everyone can participate in every forthcoming freshman game. Primarily, this means basketball for the boys (though few sign up for it). M, hoping to make the team, hopes the final selection will not adversely affect his friendship with Kongpob as both boys are up for the last open spot. At bigger issue though is a love triangle with May. M nurses a secret crush on her, as does May for Kongpob (neither realizing Kongpob's interest in Arthit). As to that, Kongpob runs into Arthit serendipitously and makes a wager based on the outcome of the final game, not taking into account a teammate injury.

With Freshy Day concluded, hazing rounds return, but Deer and other seniors interject themselves to publicly question the punishments that junior hazers have thus far mete out.

It's dark and rainy, and after 100 push-ups and squats, Arthit still has fifty-four laps to run off. His stoic determination draws out sympathies from many others in the department, not just Kongpob. Subsequently, Arthit requires bed rest and medication for a day, which avails Kongpob the chance to directly serve his upperclassman. Meanwhile, concerned parents put pressure on the school to shut down SOTUS activities, Prem rescues Wad from a jam, and Knot announces the final SOTUS mission for the freshmen.

News that engineering over economics was Kongpob's mother's choice, not Kongpob's, appears to get Arthit bent out of shape. Anyway, it's Flag Retrieval Day, the last challenge for the freshmen, and the only clue for success is to utilize what they've learned from the hazers.

The hazers finally get permission for the annual freshmen trip to the beach. Though meant to be a fun time, a mild trick upsets the freshmen boys. Kongpob fumes at the hazers, Arthit angrily sends him off to cool down, and things continue to go south from there. Now restricted from alcohol, Kongpob's group throws a small party in their room with stolen upperclassmen booze. Just as the group generally decides who among them would make a great couple, Arthit breaks in, catches them all, and grounds the entire freshman class.

Knot knows Arthit had an argument with Kongpob but can't discern if that's what's bugging his friend (who won't admit to anything wrong).

Back in his dorm room, Arthit finally returns one of Kongpob's many calls. Kongpob starts to tell Arthit his feelings, at which point Arthit abruptly hangs up, leaving both boys hurt and confused.
