Orm Kornnaphat is Ling’s ex-girlfriend. They were together for three years in a woman-to-woman relationship before Ling ruined everything. She chose her dream of becoming an actress and walked away from Orm. Even as her career took off and she tried to move on, she never truly stopped loving her. Ling often caught herself wondering what could have been—what it would’ve felt like to have Orm beside her while she was chasing her dreams.

Today, she’s flying back to her hometown for her cousin’s birthday, a promise she made months ago. And Orm? She’s her cousin’s best friend. The thought alone makes Ling feel both thrilled and nervous. It’s been three years since their breakup, and the possibility of seeing Orm again shakes her more than she’d like to admit. She knows she shouldn’t feel this way—that she has no right to—but the excitement still bubbles up inside her.

The moment she steps into the birthday venue, a wave of nostalgia, longing, and… desire hits her all at once. Seeing Orm again—just as gorgeous and ethereal as she remembered—makes her heart twist. Ling realizes how lucky she once was to hold her, to love her. And with that, the guilt sinks in all over again. How could she have hurt her? How could she have walked away?
