Against the Wind || LingOrm [ Under Revision ]

CHAPTER 2

Milk sat beside Ying, both munching on random snacks from their lockers.

"Have you heard about the new girl with Lingling?" Milk asked.

Ying shrugged, unconcerned about rumors, especially those involving Lingling.

"Are you and Lingling still not okay? You should talk again, Sis. We miss your band group," Milk suggested, trying to ease the awkwardness.

"Is that Love? Who's with her?" View intervened, saving Ying from the topic. She wasn't ready to discuss the band or Lingling, especially after their three-month fallout.

"Hey, babe!" Milk greeted her girlfriend. Her eyes widened when she saw the taller girl with snow-white skin. "No way..."

Orm blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed by the attention.

"Hi," she said.

"Is that really you, Orm?! Is this for real? Are you real?!" Milk exclaimed, expressing her admiration for Orm. Love understood her girlfriend's excitement.

Milk tried to touch Orm, but Love stopped her, knowing Orm's preference.

"She's real, and she's joining our club," Love announced.

View and Milk exchanged excited glances. They were huge fans of Orm.

"Hiiii. Can we talk? Or take a picture? Autograph? Oh my god!" Milk gushed, unable to contain her excitement.

Orm, used to such attention, smiled, slightly embarrassed but also enjoying the recognition.

"You should let her in," Ying suggested.

Milk quickly guided Orm inside, avoiding touching her as Love had warned.

Orm smiled as they entered and sat on the comfortable sofa in the corner.

"Oh, my bad. I'm Milk," Milk offered a handshake, which Orm accepted. View did the same, while Ying remained quiet.

"I'm Or-"

"Orm Kornnaphat Sethratanapong. We know you well. We've been watching you ride for a long time," View said.

"Thank you," Orm replied.

Orm felt a bit overwhelmed, not used to being the center of attention. She found comfort in Ying's quiet demeanor.

"What year are you in?" Ying asked.

"Second year, Liberal Arts. How about you?" Orm replied.

"Third year, Med Tech," Ying answered. Something about Orm made her feel happy.

"Oh, wow," Orm exclaimed.

Ying chuckled at her reaction. She found Orm cute, especially her pouty lips.

"So, why did you join our club besides being a road rider?" Ying asked.

"Love invited me," Orm replied.

"No wonder," Ying shook her head, watching Love and Milk gossip.

"Is she really that talkative?" Orm asked, looking at Milk.

"Yeah, that's her nature. She can't stay still. I wonder how Love handles her," Ying explained, making Orm giggle. She liked the idea of having Milk around.

"Same-sex relationships are common in Thailand," Orm commented.

"Yes, I had a girlfriend once," Ying admitted, surprising Orm.

"You're a Lesbian?" Orm asked.

"Yeah, I don't look like one, right?" Ying replied.

"Yes," Orm agreed.
