This document is an English translation of the Thai BL (Boys’ Love) novel “North: How Much Is Your Love,” which follows the story of North, a hot-headed engineering college student who, after being heartbroken by his ex-girlfriend Ja Jan leaving him for a more “promising” man named Dr. Temp, drowns his sorrows in alcohol and gets into a violent bar fight — only to be rescued by a mysterious, handsome, and wealthy senior named Johan (Phi Johan). As North recovers and navigates college life alongside his close friends Ter, Duen Nao, Chai, and Kyu, he gradually develops a deep romantic relationship with Johan, moving from initial confusion and vulnerability to genuine love. The story spans 32 chapters plus a prologue, epilogue, and special chapters, chronicling their journey through everyday college moments — basketball clubs, drawing clubs, motorcycle rides in the rain, cooking together — as well as emotional struggles with trust, jealousy, and self-worth, ultimately culminating in an intimate and tender ending where Johan places a family heirloom ring on North’s finger as a promise of marriage, sealing their commitment to each other.
