Genre: Boys' Love | Food | Romance | Drama

Story Synopsis:
Thirty years ago, Korn and Intouch were university students in Bangkok. Intouch entered Korn's life despite knowing that he was the son of one of the most influential crime bosses in Bangkok. At first, Korn pushed Intouch away, but in the end, he couldn't resist the boy who was so full of life, his exact opposite.

However, their love was star-crossed in a time when homosexuality was unacceptable. Amidst mounting chaos in their lives, Intouch kept fighting for their future, but Korn could not deal with all the suffering and decided to give up. That day, the sounds of two gunshots rang through the air. Though their story ended in tragedy, something had tied itself between them and kept them bound even beyond death.

Years later, nineteen-year-old Pharm returns to Thailand as a freshman at T- University. Riddled with sad dreams that wake him with a wet face, plagued with a fear of loud noises, and bearing a birthmark on his temple, the boy has always had a sense that he was missing someone.

Twenty-one-year-old Dean is a third-year student and the swimming club's president at T- University. He, too, has spent his life searching for someone whose face he can’t remember.

The red thread of fate that had tied them together in their past life pulls the two boys together once again, tying them to each other and to a past that might not be worth remembering.

The red thread that binds their two hearts together will always lead one back to the other; it may tangle and stretch, but it will never break.

Story Summary:
Korn Ariyasakul, the eldest son of one of Bangkok's most influential crime bosses, meets the warm and friendly Intouch Chatpokin.

Despite knowing who Korn was, Intouch still approached him without fear.

At first, Korn kept his distance, aware of the consequences that could fall upon both himself and the boy. But Intouch persisted, gently breaking down the walls around Korn’s heart. Eventually, Korn gave in and let Intouch into his already broken world. They fell in love.

Not long after their relationship began, both of their fathers discovered it—and immediately warned them to stay away from each other.

But the warnings were ignored. They continued to meet in secret.

On Intouch's birthday, they were celebrating at a restaurant when Intouch's father spotted them. Furious, he attempted to drag Intouch away. Intouch pushed his father’s hands off and took Korn with him to a condo they had always dreamed of buying together.

As they made their way there, Korn's father also saw them and followed behind.

When they arrived at the condo, Intouch noticed something different in Korn—something foreboding. Moments later, both their fathers burst into the room.

Korn and Intouch pleaded with their fathers to accept their love, but all they received was rejection.

Overwhelmed by heartbreak, pressure, and the weight of being denied the love of his life, Korn grabbed the gun from his father’s hand—and shot himself.

Intouch, shattered by the death of his beloved, knelt by Korn's body, begging him to wake up. But when there was no response, he picked up the same gun—and pulled the trigger.

Thirty years later, Pharm Triwinij, the son of Kard Ariyasakul (Korn's youngest brother), comes to Thailand to complete his studies. There, he befriends Manow and Team, who become his closest companions.

Because of what happened in his past life, Pharm fears loud noises and dislikes the rain. He also has a mark on his temple—the same spot where Intouch had shot himself.

Team, having earned a spot in university through an athletic scholarship, joins the swimming club. Pharm and Manow support him during the selection rounds. At the event, Pharm sees Dean Rattanon Wongnate, a third-year Business Administration student and the swimming club president. Pharm feels an inexplicable pull toward him.

Dean is the eldest son of Alin Wongnate, daughter of Ahn Chatpokin, who was Intouch’s sister—making Dean Intouch's grandnephew.

When Dean sees Pharm, he feels as though he’s finally found the person he's been searching for all his life.

Despite Dean’s aloof and reserved demeanor, fate brings them together when Pharm is asked to deliver food from the cooking club to the swimming team. Dean also bears a mark on his temple—the same place where Korn shot himself.

Team, noticing the strange tension between Pharm and Dean, helps bridge the gap between them. In doing so, he also grows closer to Win, Dean’s swimming rival and friend.

As Pharm and Dean grow closer, they uncover the truth: they are the reincarnations of Korn and Intouch. They were overwhelmed with joy. 

Dean, determined to uncover more about their past lives, seeks help from his friend’s boyfriend. He eventually learns the truth: Intouch had taken his own life after witnessing Korn's death.

Dean tries desperately to prevent Pharm from remembering the tragedy—but fails.

Pharm’s cousin, Sin Ariyasakul, who was the one to tell Dean about Korn and Intouch, takes Pharm to meet his grandfather. In the house, Pharm finds the very gun that ended their lives—locked away in a memory box filled with Korn’s belongings.

The sight triggers Pharm’s memories. He remembers everything.

Without a word, he leaves for the same condo where they had died thirty years before.

Dean, realizing where Pharm has gone, rushes to find him. He arrives to see Pharm soaked from the rain, sitting silently on the sofa—with the gun beside him.

Then the past begins to consume the present. Intouch’s soul, in Pharm's body, wants to kill himself again—this time, to make Korn understand the pain of being left behind.

Dean pleads with Intouch not to go through with it, begging him to return Pharm to him. Krit Ariyasakul and Mr. Ariyasakul—Korn’s father—appear and tell Intouch they regret everything that happened. They explain that this is why Sin has been allowed to love freely.

The souls of Korn and Intouch finally find peace.

Pharm, now caught between the past and present, is left confused. He questions whether Dean loves him, or the memory of Intouch.

Dean assures him that his love is for Pharm Triwinij, not Intouch. Still, in memory of Intouch, Dean changes his name from Rattanon Wongnate to Rattanon Chatpokin—a tribute, not a replacement.
