It’s time we look for a new member.

SoundAbout, a guitarist with millions of views.

Ask him to join us.

This is your rehearsal schedule for Hot Wave?

You are the problem, Gun.

You spoil them so much that this band sucks.

I quit the club.

I haven’t seen you smile like this in a long time.

Since you left Music Club.

It’s time for you to move on.

A lot of people are waiting for you there, Young Master.

You want to take a photo with me?

Smile, Mr. School President.

SCHOOL COUNSELING DEPARTMENT

I want to be a doctor.

Think again.

Medical study and workload will exhaust you.

I haven’t mentioned the back pay yet.

And don’t even think to say…

“I want to go to med school in order to take care of my parents when they’re old.”

Yuck!

In real life, you will barely make time to see them.

Alright, sir.

I like Communication Arts.

But my parents want me to study Engineering.

And do what after graduation?


Be a manufacturing supervisor?

Nice payment but if you think again, you’ll need to spend your life in the
countryside.

Back to the city once in a blue moon. It’s a living hell.

Are you sure?

I want to be a teacher.

Don’t!!

I want to be a singer.

Bluff me all you want. Go ahead.

I used to have a band too.

But I was stupid enough to believe my school counselor and became a teacher.

And look where it got me.

How is your band now, sir?

We played at many bars.

One day, a talent scout found us. We signed with them.

Are you serious?

Anyway, they didn’t give us any work. We were back to being bar musicians.

Some of us are music teachers.

Some are even food delivery riders.

So you guys literally disbanded?

But if you work a little harder, play at a bunch of bars in one night, you might
be able to make a good living.

My friends’ band did that.

Finally,

the singer had vocal cord disorders.


They disbanded.

Back to their old jobs.

Okay, I’m back to farming.

Guys!

It’s time we submit the Hot Wave application.

Why looking so dull?


We’ve been waiting for this.

The counselor discouraged them big time.

Of course, they’re dull.

Don’t get stressed out.

Say we win Hot Wave.

Then everything will get better.

And if we lose?

It’s still time if we want to disband now and go back to studying for university.

What the heck are you saying?

No one is changing his mind.

- Right?
- Right.

But until my direct admission exam result is announced next week,

can you wait?

If I don’t get accepted, then I can start making a new plan.

My dad wants me to learn car repair at his garage.

He wants me to take on the business.

He doesn't believe I can make a living as a musician.

My parents are okay with this

because I told them I joined Physics Club.

And now they hire a physics tutor for me every day after school.

Starting tomorrow.

Poor you guys.

Lucky for me, my parents understand.

They filled my work schedule until next year.

I might not have enough time to practice with you all.

If that’s how it is,

we should just disband.

If you guys don’t give everything you got,

let’s just not start at all.


You have until the end of this month.

Go make up your mind.

Then come back and tell me what you want to do with Hot Wave.

Gun.

What is this, a scene in a music video?

Don’t you have music practice?

Are you having a problem again?

Go ask them.

Darn it.

We’ve fought together this far.

Why are they hesitating now?

You’re right.

But look around you.

Everyone is studying.

They must feel bad if they aren’t.

What’s up with parents anyway?

They make decisions for us about everything.

They couldn’t do it, so their children must carry on their dreams.

You got a point but…

I think they mean well.

Take my mom as an example.

She wants me to get into med school

because she thinks it’s stable.

Whose side are you on exactly?

Your side, of course.

I don’t believe you.

No?

No.

Am I now?

Enough to say I’m on your side?


Yes, it is.

It is?

Let’s do this.

Are you free this evening?

I know a really nice milk bar.

I’m taking you there.

- Okay.
- I’ll even treat you.

Wanna come?

Hey.

Don’t you have practice?

I…

Hold it.

You came with the class president.

Did you do something again?

Come on. Don’t you accuse me.

I didn’t do anything.

The club is on break.

So I brought you a customer.

I’m upset. I’ll go to another milk bar.

There, there. I’m sorry.

Come on. Take a seat.

I’ll serve you very special shaved ice.

Come on. Sit down.

You seem really close to your mom.

Not as close as you and your mom.

You’re with her 24 hours a day.

Both at home and school.

Hey!

- Mom, are you okay?


- Ma’am.

- Ma’am, are you all right?


- Mom, what happened?

Mom!

We should get her to rest, Gun.

Mom, what’s going on?

Can you hear me?

Get her to rest.

Do you have an inhaler?

Look on the counter.

- Mom!
- Move.

Mom, what happened?

Fan her.

Get her on the couch.

Here.

Our employee is on maternity leave.

So my mom has to do all the work alone.

Look. She hasn't eaten yet.

You should take her to see a doctor.

Would you like that?

No.

It happens all the time.

I take a little break and get back to work just fine.

Let’s do this.

I’ll help out with the shop.

You can’t do it alone, jackass.

Even I get overwhelmed sometimes.

No.

Or we can do this. I’ll lend a hand.

You’re a server.
I’ll make the orders.

I haven’t done this in a long time. What should I do?

You can try making a few orders.

I can taste them for you.

I’ve been wondering. Why is this kind of shaved ice called Jumba?

Some say the color reminds them of the Jumba outfit, the old sexy dance performed
by girls.

Are you kidding me?

What’s for sure is that Mrs. Gim’s shaved ice tastes like someone dancing in your
mouth.

How is it?

It is seriously like someone is dancing in my mouth.

It tastes exactly like the shaved ice your mom makes.

You remember the taste?

Of course.

How many times have you had it?

It is really good.

Hello.

Can we order, please?

Sure.

What would you like today?

Are you new here?

You don’t look familiar.

That’s right.

Butter and condensed milk on toast, please.

Don’t put sugar. Just put your heart into it.

We can only put it on a plate. Would you be okay with that?

You go clear that table.

- But I’m taking orders here.


- Go.

Anything else?
You can go home.

Your mom should be worried.

I haven’t done washing these plates yet.

I said you can go home.

Look. It’s a lot left. Let me stay and help.

Are you scared of ghosts?

Hm?

What ghosts?

There was a mosquito.

I guess you don’t have a spare bulb.

You wash them. I’ll hold the flashlight.

Does the school president take care of all his friends this good?

Even with this good care, someone is shooing me home.

Well, I feel bad.

It’s so much to do here.

I’m wondering how my mom can manage this every day.

It’s exhausting.

Watch me.

If I win Hot Wave, my mom won’t need to do anything.

And I’ll give her lots of money.

“How much do you want, Mom?”

You really think your mom is okay with that?

If you’re famous, she might organize fan meetings for you.

Probably.

Anyways,

I sometimes envy you.

If I'm as smart as you are,

my mom won’t be so struggling.

No. I envy you.


At least you know what you want to do.

As if you don’t know what you want to do.

[Niyomsil Suksa High School]

Sakchai.

Present.

- Warunee.
- I’m here.

Methinee.

Present.

Guntapon.

Guntapon?

Is he on leave?

Parawee.

Patchara.

You jackass, can you handle it?

Let me help.

No.

Why not?

You should take a rest.

You fainted yesterday.

I’m good now.

No, don’t.

Take a day off.

Okay?

I’m all right.

Don’t.

Fine.

If you’re tired, just take a break.

I know whom I got the stubbornness from.

All right.
Lie down.

Excuse me.

I’m here for the garbage collection expense.

Sure.

Just a moment, please.

Of course.

130 baht.

Gun.

Hey.

Why are you here?

School isn’t over yet.

I thought I’d just drop by.

You skipped class.

I’m just worried.

Is your mom okay?

She is.

But I think I’ll take one more day off to look after her.

Yeah?

You should tell your friends then.

They think you’re mad at them about Hot Wave.

Seriously,

many of them just joined to play music for fun.

I know they didn’t expect to get serious about it.

It’s no surprise they’re having second thoughts.

I should study harder.

I’m even thinking

Try to get into faculties that lead to stable jobs.

Can you really handle it?

Study for the admission and practice for the competition.

That’s tough.
I can

if I cut Hot Wave.

What’s the matter now?

What should I do?

Gun is worried about his mom.

He’s considering not competing in Hot Wave.

Hot Wave is his dream.

Gun’s got skills.

You just need to find a way to cheer him up.

Regain his confidence.
