My Coach

“Jenna”, a woman who once obtained an international student scholarship and also a football maniac (players included). She used to play football during highschool and college, and her love for football eventually led her to a college scholarship for a master degree at Liverpool, England, the holy land where her favourite football team was located. That also brought her closer to her favourite football player, Steven Gerrard, and let her sniff the smell of sweat from players she loved.
Her dream and her happiness were obviously about football, but when concerning about her relationship to the opposite sex, she had a motto “If I crave for someone, I must have him” and she couldn’t even spell the word “Long-term Rerationchip” since she didn’t know about it. Because of that personality, she had many men in her account book and that made her seemed to recognize everyone, but unsure if she had a sex with that person already or not! One example was an occasion when a man greeted her in the fitness center. She thought he wanted to have another go with her, but the truth was that he’s just her dentist. “I normally saw you wearing a face mask!” she said.
But then, one incident made Jenna no longer interested about her current lifestyle. That day, Jenna met a man she just had a sex 3 days ago. But when she greeted him, it appeared that he didn’t remember her at all, not even her name. Jenna felt lost because of that event. She started to think that maybe she had gone too far and didn’t really take care of the feelings inside her own heart.
Jenna brought up this topic during the conversation among her friends and told them she would quit her fun-seeking behaviour in order to examine herself. She would find a boyfriend! When her friends heard that, they told her she would absolutely cannot endure her own desire and succumbed to it. Jenna felt frustrated when her friends looked at her like she’s a sex beast, which was entirely not true. So she decided to promise to her friends, especially “Barbara”, her close friend who’s not only a gay but also a relationship expert, that next man she would sleep with was the man she’s willing to have a Long-term Relationship! (She finally spells the word right)
But before she started her mission, a bad news came from her family. Her father had a stroke. Jenna had to go back to hometown in the southern part of Thailand, Talumphuk. It’s her first time coming back home since 5 years ago. Her family operated a small seafood restaurant at Laem Talumphuk. Jenna decided to put her boyfriend-seeking mission on hold and focused on helping her mother manage their restaurant in place of her father. But it seemed the mistress of fortune played a trick when she met “Jon”, a young highschool boy with a six-pack comparable to those from college. He and his friends went to her restaurant to eat, and Jon lost the bet to his friends so he had to take off his shirt in order to let his friends take a clip and posted it on Tiktok. His youth and firmness of his body made Jenna’s desire activated once again. Jenna, who’s still working and had messy hair, went to flirt with Jon, but Jon thought this wasn’t the first time they met.
2 years ago, when Jon was still a fat boy with teen acne breakout on his face. Jon went to Bangkok with his friends and faked his Tinder ID by applying a lot of filters in his photo. His ID matched with Jenna. But when they met, Jenna smiled and saw him as a kid that used a fake photo, so she discarded him right away in the middle of the pub. Many people laughed at him and took a clip, which also became an internet viral at that time. Jon lost his self-confidence since a beautiful woman disgusted his face, so he decided to put an effort to upgrade himself until he became a super good-looking boy like present.
Jon finally remembered who Jenna was, so he decided to have revenge. He called her ‘auntie’ and brought “Marin”, a mixed-race girl, forward to tease her. Jenna felt angry since no one had refused her advance before. She walked to teach him a lesson and made him stop calling her ‘auntie’, and that made them quarrel. But then, “Jerd Jarat”, a 35-year-old man who’s also Jon’s uncle that happened to play football at the nearby beach, came to stop them. He was a handsome man with a daddy look that also had a warm heart. The aura that came out from him shone brightly into Jenna’s heart, which was also comparable to the moment when she met Steven Gerrard, her favourite football player, for the first time. At that moment, she knew that he’s her “love at first sight”, so she decided to initiate her boyfriend-seeking mission once again. Jerd Jarat must become her boyfriend!
Jenna investigated his information from the gossip from her neighbour and found that Jerd Jarat was the biggest seafood export company owner in Nakhon Si Thammarat province. After Jam Jarat, father of Jon and elder brother of Jerd, had an accident in the sea and lost his life 10 years ago. Jon was the lone survivor of that incident. Jerd Jarat had to quit his dream about being a football player and took care of their family business. He also had to replace Jam’s position as Jon’s “father” even if he’s still young. All he could do was support Jon to play football and let him achieve that dream in his place. He was also a sponsor of the “Talumphuk FC”, the football team from Jon’s highschool. And that’s until their last football coach quitted his job last year, so their football club had to temporarily cease their activity until they could find a new coach that caught Jerd Jarat’s eyes.
Jenna decided to transform her image into a vigorous woman and offered herself as the “Talumphuk FC” coach, so she could get closer to Jerd Jarat, get him as a boyfriend, and get to continue her football passion as well. Jerd Jarat saw that she used to be a player, and had knowledge about football no matter if it's history, statistics, or how to train players (which also included sport physiology, but she didn’t include it in her portfolio). Jerd started to interest Jenna when he knew she’s knowledgeable both in theory and practical, but Jon, who’s still beware of Jenna, immediately knew that she’s trying to seduce his uncle. He used his position as a team captain to interfere with his decision and persuade him not to easily trust her. So, Jerd Jarat decided to give her the first mission. Jenna had to form a new “Talumphuk FC” and prove herself as a coach by leading her team to win against his company's football team. She would become a coach if she accomplished this mission. Jenna accepted his challenge!
