THE HAZING SYSTEM DEPICTED IN SOTUS THE SERIES

IS WRITTEN FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES

BASED ON THE NABU PUBLISHING'S BOOK SOTUS BY BITTERSWEET

2 YEARS AGO

From this formula, you'll get the answer.

We already had two classes on our first day.

Will we die?

I'm so confused.

Do you understand what he said?

I do.

It's our high school stuff.

- Really? - Don't you get it?

- No. - I'll teach you then.

That's a good idea. Please teach me.

Okay.

Excuse me, guys.

Shall we grab some food after class?

I think we'll be here until late.

Our class will end soon, though.

What?

Didn't you know about the hazing activity?

After our last class ends,

our seniors will wait for us at the door

and take us to get yelled at and punished.

They will torture us in that room

until they're satisfied.

Is it that bad?

Yes.

Bright, I think

you might be overreacting.

It's up to you, then.

But I really want to know

how this SOTUS system will be like

during our hazing activity.

- Aren't you curious? - I am.

What's the purpose behind it?

Well...

We'll see.

We'll stop here

for today.

And don't forget to go over the lesson today at home.

Oh, right.

Please don't leave yet.

Your seniors will be coming to talk to you.

Are they here?

You suck.

Your class sucks.

This person's name

is Tum,

also known as

"Chinese Boy."

He's very scary.

I heard he's the third year's head of the hazers.

He pisses everybody off.

He can make you go crazy.

I have never met a class...

like yours.

Yesterday,

my friend told me

that one of you walked past him

and didn't greet him.

Do you not think of us as your seniors?

What are you doing?

Stand up.

Yes, you.

What's your name?

I'm Arthit, Number 0206.

What were you doing?

Well...

A mosquito bit me.

Those mosquitoes belong to my university.

You have no right to hit them.

0206 AI-OON

Arthit, Number 0206,

I was speaking.

Your friends were paying attention.

Do you know the word manners?

If you don't,

I'll teach you.

Go and greet the banyan tree in front of our faculty...

for three hours.

It will teach you

what manners are.

Do it!

Your punishments are stupid.

That's why we don't respect you.

What did you say?

Weren't you curious

why we didn't greet you?

We are here to study and not to follow your orders

like slaves.

This SOTUS system

is only an excuse for people to abuse their power.

Or is it not true?

Do you know the word respect?

Do you have any?

I'm older.

You're younger.

You said you came to study.

Is that all you are here to do?

You don't need friends.

You don't need the society.

You want to fly solo.

Do you think you'll make it?

That's my problem.

It doesn't concern you at all.

Of course, it does.

Every place has its own rules.

If you can't follow them, then get out.

Fine. I'll go.

Go then!

You're such a girl.

Why?

Won't you leave anymore?

You want to fly solo, don't you?

Leave then.

You haven't left the room, but you already came a cropper.

Don't, Knot.

Calm down.

Look at what he did to you.

What do you want me to do?

It's okay.

You said you wanted to study here.

You shouldn't get into fights if you do.

Stay here with us.

Do you understand?

All right.

Fine.

Don't stop your friend.

I told you.

If you can't follow the rules,

you should get out.

If I do what you say,

I can stay, right?

Yes.

Okay then.

Where are you going?

To greet the banyan tree as you said.

Okay. You can go.

As for the rest of you,

I will punish you

for your wrongdoings.

Freshmen, 100 squats.

Start.

- One, - One,

- two, - two,

- three, - three,

- four, five... - four, five...

Have you gone crazy, Tum?

What would've happened if you couldn't...

get them under control?

Do you know that we will be the ones in trouble

and not them?

If anything happens again,

I will tell the president.

Come on, Fon.

You look beautiful on the outside

but you complain so much.

Who would marry you?

Tum!

Calm down.

The way you speak is the reason the freshmen don't respect us.

Are you so proud...

that they greet us...

just because they're afraid of being punished?

Fon.

Greeting each other is an act of kindness.

I'm teaching them to be humble.

So when they go somewhere,

their seniors will think, "Hey, these are my juniors."

They will be adored.

They will help each other in the times of need.

It creates a good relationship between the freshmen and their seniors.

They can't ignore the age difference.

They need to respect us.

It's very easy to greet someone, Fon.

You don't need to do much,

but it has countless advantages.

So why are you against it?

You didn't need to be that harsh.

You could've talked to them.

Fine.

I don't want to argue.

I won't let it happen again.

What the hell.

What are you doing?

It's you, bro.

I mean...

Hello, Tum.

Hello.

What are you doing?

Well...

You told me to stand here so I came.

Don't tell me that

you actually came to greet the banyan tree for three hours.

Aren't you tired?

I am.

I'm doing it because you told me to,

not because I wanted to.

And...

I told you that I would do it.

So I must do it.

I see. What's your name?

I'm Arthit.

Do you have a nickname?

Yes.

It's Ai-oon.

Your name is so cute.

Yes, it is cute.

All right. You can go home and rest.

You have class tomorrow.

Another thing,

you can call me "bro".

I don't mind.

Okay.

- Rest up. - Thank you, bro.

- Goodbye. - Bye.

I guess...

another 0206 will become

the head of the hazers.

You will be a great leader, Ai-oon.

What are you mumbling alone here?

Oh, my god.

- You scared me. - Come on. Let's go home.

You actually pissed people off, too.

Tum pissed me off first.

Compared to my year, was it tougher when you were first year?

It was.

You had it easy.

So...

If you had to punish me right now,

what punishment would it be?

I don't know.

I can't just randomly punish people.

What about...

shouting loudly that I love you three times?

Does that sound good?

You're crazy.

That's funny.

You told me to do it before.

By the way, Kongpob,

do you really want to be a hazer?

Yes.

Why?

I thought you didn't like the SOTUS system.

I like what's hidden inside the SOTUS system.

But as for its methods...

I guess they must change accordingly.

I believe that you will be a great senior.

Yes.

Just like you, right?

Of course.

I'll give you the last piece.

Since it's the last piece,

it must mean

- that my boyfriend... - Just eat it.

You talk too much.

Hey, I'm planning to skip the hazing activity.

I don't like it.

I don't know what will happen to us.

I agree.

I don't want to think about it at all.

Should we skip?

No, we shouldn't.

You will make the biggest mistake by skipping.

I heard the head of the hazers this year is hell of a handsome fellow.

Really?

I'll get ready to be yelled at by him.

Hello, freshmen.

I'm Kongpob.

I will take care of you guys from today onwards.

First of all,

let me congratulate you

for passing the entrance exam

of the Faculty of Engineering.

Stay still!

What are you doing?

I told you to stay still.

0083 PRAEW

Guys, please pay some respect.

Please focus.

Did nobody teach you about manners?

Guys,

sit straight.

Today,

we will teach you our faculty's song.

The faculty of engineering

Is similar to a boat

Don't ever forget

That we are on the same boat

We're heading to the destination

That everyone dreams of

This won't do.

I don't blame you guys.

Perhaps,

it is not best for you to sing together.

I have another method to suggest.

I will make you sing one by one.

I hope you will pass the test.

Let's start with you.

Get up.

0088 HERB

I'm Nattawut,

Number 0088.

You can start.

The faculty of engineering

Is similar to a boat

Don't ever forget

That we are on the same boat

No.

You were too quiet.

Those at the back couldn't hear you.

Start again.

Make it louder.

The faculty of engineering

Is similar to a boat

Don't ever forget

That we are on the same...

No.

You sped up the beats.

Sing again.

The faculty of engineering

Is similar to a boat

Don't ever forget

That we are on the same boat

We're heading to the destination

That everyone dreams of

You were out of tune.

Sing again.

The faculty of engineering

Is similar to a boat

Don't ever forget

That we are on the same boat

We're heading to the destination

That everyone dreams of

We won't turn back

Our dreams must come true

We are a gear

We must work together

We never leave

Our duties behind

For this shop

To move forward

We must come together

And not lose faith

Engineering, this name must echo

Engineering

Even if a storm hits us

We must get through it

Engineering

We must get to the goal Despite the happiness or the sadness

We must make our faculty a legend

Engineering, this name must echo

Engineering

Even if a storm hits us

We must get through it

We will share the happiness And the sadness

To get to the goal

We must make our faculty a legend

You passed.

Take a seat.

All right then.

I would like to end

today's hazing activity.

MEETING ROOM

Hello, Professor.

It's you.

- Arthit. - Yes.

You are all dressed up.

Where are you working at now?

I'm working at a mainboard factory.

That's great.

You got yourself a job in a big company after you graduated.

Yes. How are you?

How are the freshmen?

I'm well.

But the freshmen this year

are not on time at all.

They come to class late.

I don't want to be fussy about these small things

since they are adults now.

- I see. - I will need to ask the hazers

to teach them discipline.

I see.

Time changes people, Professor.

All right.

- Are you going to a hazing session? - Yes.

Okay.

Please tell the hazers for me to teach them discipline

and teach them to be on time.

All right, Professor.

- I'll go then. - Goodbye.

Shit. My paper isn't done yet.

I can't play games.

Have our seniors ever thought of helping us with our homework?

What about this? Shall we skip tomorrow?

Let's not. I think we will get something good from the activity.

It's up to you, then.

Kong.

I'll go to the meeting room.

Okay. I'll follow you.

Okay.

Guys, let's go.

How are you? Are you tired?

Why didn't you tell me that you were coming?

- I... - I would have picked you up.

I only came to get my transcript.

I'm leaving soon.

You have a meeting after this, right?

You can go then. I'm going to head home.

Will you really go home?

Actually,

I don't have any plans.

I can stay for a bit more.

Wait for me here then.

Let me tell my friends.

No, that's not necessary.

Attend the meeting.

You are the leader after all.

I have my duty as the head of the hazers.

But I also have my duty...

as your boyfriend.

- Okay. - Wait for me here.

I'm sorry.

Did I keep you waiting long?

Are you hungry?

I'm not.

What about you?

Have you been eating?

You look skinnier.

Are you worried about me?

You're changing the subject.

So what do want to eat?

An omelet with minced pork.

An omelet with minced pork.

Kongpob.

Why did I see some freshmen wearing different shirts?

Well.

Some of them haven't got their shirts.

Many are participating this year.

So how is it going?

Are there any problems?

Not that I know of.

Most of them have discipline.

Almost all of them participated.

By the way,

a professor told me to tell you to teach the freshmen to be on time.

All right.

I'll teach them.

How lucky of you.

I thought you would get naughty boys like how I got you guys.

What do you mean by naughty?

Do you mean...

making a hazer his wife?

Kongpob.

How will you go home?

I'll call a taxi here.

You look sleepy.

I'm a working man now.

Be honest. Did I keep you waiting long?

Not really.

Go home safely.

You too.

Take care of yourself.

Rest if you're tired.

If you tell me that you miss me right now,

my tiredness will go away.

Are you crazy? I would never say that.

Go home safely.

Wait.

I miss you, Kong.

Wait, Arthit.

Please don't go back.

I must.

My work starts early tomorrow.

I'll send you to work tomorrow. You won't be late.

But right now,

please stay.

Gosh!

Excuse me.

Will you go or not?

Please.

I...

I won't go.

I'm sorry.

- All right. - Thank you.

If I'm late for work tomorrow,

I will make you do 100 push-ups in front of the freshmen.

I'll run around the field 100 laps.

Let's go home.

Let's go.

MY FIRST DAY AT UNIVERSITY

Every time I read your diary,

I end up smiling.

You've read it almost ten times already.

Don't you get bored?

I like what you wrote.

It's like a novel.

Especially, when I see these old pictures,

they make me miss my friends.

"'Is that the loudest you can be?

Make it louder.'

A question was shouted with anger

like a guard shouting at his prisoners."

Amazing.

You don't need to say it out loud.

It's embarrassing.

It's cute.

Thank you, Arthit.

Thank you for making my first year memorable.

Come on.

It depends on

how much you enjoy your first year here, too.

I want to pass

the good memories to my juniors.

Just like how you passed them to me.

No wonder

all your juniors admire you.

To be honest, time went by pretty quick.

I'm already in third year now.

- Yes. - And I've become a hazer, too.

I agree.

It feels like I just yelled at you yesterday.

I miss the time when I was in first year.

Me too.

You only...

get to be a freshman once.

Do you miss the time when I was in first year?

Who said so?

I haven't said a word.

You're wrong.
