Top fierce attorneys who can't stand each other or mostly- Orm.. For her, Lingling is the most annoying person alive-her cocky smile and constant wins in court drive her crazy. Always up against each other in court. Orm is determined to outdo Lingling at every turn, but she always falls short. With Lingling, it's always competition. Lingling loves pushing Orm's buttons, enjoying their rivalry to the fullest. One day something shifts, changes in.. Is it love? -of course-

Four years ago, they were inseparable-Thailand's golden girls of fashion, best friends turned lovers turned something deeper. Until Orm vanished without warning, just days before their joint international debut in Milan. Ling never forgave her. Now, they're reunited under flashing lights, sharp heels, and camera shutters-booked for the same runway, the same campaign, the same world tour. But Ling isn't the same girl Orm left behind. She's colder. Louder. And painfully beautiful. But Orm has her own secrets-ones that never made it to the tabloids. Ones that might explain everything... if Ling ever lets her close enough to tell the truth. In a world of perfection, their flaws burn the brightest.

After two years of secretly being together, at the peak of their careers, Ling and Orm decided to pause their relationship, promising to pick things up when circumstances were more favourable. Ling moved to Hong Kong for a job that was supposed to keep her away from Thailand for six months. But when she returned, seven years had passed, and their lives had changed in ways they could have never imagined. Do they still care for one other? Will they find their way back? --- The usual disclaimer: The characters are obviously inspired by LingOrm, and there might be references to real-life events, but the story is purely fictional. This is the fruit of one of my dreams (yep, I actually dreamt about it. Those two are taking over my life-help). English is not my first language, so my apologies for any potential mistakes. Peace and Love, JKRs :)

Orm Kornnapath was used to the relentless hustle of Bangkok. By day, she waited tables at a bustling street-side eatery, dodging impatient customers and her grumpy boss. By night, she cleaned offices in towering glass buildings, sweeping floors that would never belong to people like her. No matter how hard she worked, the money never stretched far enough. Lingling Kwong, on the other hand, lived in a world of flashing cameras and red carpets. A celebrated actress across Asia, she had wealth, fame, and millions of admirers. Yet, behind the glittering mask, loneliness gnawed at her. She had spent years hiding her true self, bound by the industry's expectations and a fear she couldn't shake. One fateful evening, their worlds collided-quite literally. Amidst the honking of Bangkok's chaotic traffic, Orm, exhausted and distracted, stumbled straight into Lingling's path. A spilled coffee, a broken designer bag, and a string of frustrated apologies later, their lives became entangled in ways neither could have predicted. Orm, who never imagined crossing paths with a celebrity, found herself drawn into Lingling's carefully guarded world. And Lingling, accustomed to scripted romance and staged affection, felt something real for the first time. But love between them wouldn't come easy. Between societal pressures, personal struggles, and the undeniable gap between their worlds, they had to decide-was this love worth fighting for?

Prologue "Not all heartbreaks come from betrayal. Some grow from choices made in silence." They were happy once. Truly. Stupidly. Brilliantly happy. After the rivalry, the tension, the guarded hearts-Lingling and Orm had found each other. Two doctors, one heart. They stood in the dawn light outside the hospital, palms pressed, quiet smiles blooming. And for years, they made it work. Lingling soared in internal medicine-panels, journals, awards. Orm, ever proud, filmed her behind the scenes, smitten and steady. They shared shift schedules, socks, even toothbrushes. Fans adored their chemistry-Orm's teasing, Lingling's glares that always ended in a blush. But slowly, life crept in. Lingling picked rounds over date nights, grant proposals over cuddles. She missed anniversaries. Ignored Orm's soft pleas to rest, to breathe, to be there. Not out of malice. Just... neglect. Lingling believed love would hold on its own. But Orm was tired of holding it alone. "I miss us," Orm said once while Lingling typed away. "You never look at me the way you look at your career." Lingling didn't flinch. "My work matters." "And I don't?" Orm whispered. She didn't say no. She said nothing. That silence became a wound. Orm stopped filming at home. Stopped asking. Stopped hoping for a space in a life Lingling was building without her. Until one night, suitcase in hand, Orm stood by the door. "Do you even see me anymore, Ling?" Lingling didn't look up. That was all she needed. She left-no slammed doors, no last plea. Just a note on the fridge: "You chose your calling. I just wish you made room for me in it. - O." Lingling came home late. Read the note under harsh fluorescent light. And for the first time in years, she realized- She'd won every award. But lost her heart. Cross My Heart, Suture Yours: CODE RED

As the cameras roll for the upcoming GL drama The Secret of Us, rising stars Lingling Kwong and Orm Kornnaphat are hailed as the perfect pair-flirty, affectionate, and magnetic both on-screen and online. But behind the filters and fan edits lies a bitter truth. Off-camera, Lingling is cold, dismissive, and secretly annoyed by Orm's clinginess and bubbly charm. With her influencer friends, she mocks the very closeness she fakes on set. Orm, meanwhile, believes their connection is real-until signs of betrayal begin to bleed into reality. As social media whispers, fan scrutiny intensifies, and trust shatters, the line between performance and truth disappears. When everything unravels, who will be left holding the pieces?

Ten years ago, Orm Kornnaphat entered an elite world believing kindness would be enough to survive it. She left broken, humiliated under a spotlight designed to remind her she did not belong. The girl who ran away that night disappeared completely-no explanations, no closure, no mercy asked. What no one knew was that Orm never stopped becoming. Now, she returns as the ethereal, untouchable CEO of the Sethachon Group, moving through boardrooms with quiet authority and deliberate grace. Her presence alone disrupts carefully ordered hierarchies-especially for Lingling Kwong, the once-untouchable heir who never expected the past to walk back into her life wearing power. As Lingling finds herself drawn to Orm, the woman she once dismissed, long-buried guilt resurfaces and the balance of power begins to shift. Orm's return is poised and intentional, forcing Lingling to confront consequences she never truly faced. Attraction grows where dominance once ruled, and desire tangles dangerously with remorse. Bound by circumstance, a business alliance, and a carefully arranged engagement, the two are pulled into a relationship neither fully controls. What begins with rivalry and reckoning slowly blurs into something far more complicated-where emotions are weaponized, intentions remain unreadable, and vulnerability becomes the greatest risk. Inspired by the dramatic hierarchy of Meteor Garden and the high-stakes corporate tension of K-drama's Business Proposal, this is not a story about first love. It is a story about power reclaimed, wounds that refuse to fade, and what happens when the person you broke learns how to rise-and chooses whether or not to forgive.

Lingling is known as a drug lord under police surveillance. As one of the agents assigned to the mission, Orm will do whatever it takes to reach her goal--throwing Lingling into the most godforsaken prison imaginable. But the handsome woman's charm proves fatal, pulling them both into a dangerous affair neither can escape. [G!P LING]

She forgot their love. But her heart never did. Five years ago, Orm walked away from the only woman she ever truly loved-Ling, a brilliant young doctor who gave her everything. What Orm didn't know was that the headaches, the blackouts, the confusion... would steal her memories too. Now, Orm is a rising actress with a picture-perfect life-and no recollection of Ling. Until fate brings them together again in Bangkok. Ling returns as a visiting neurosurgeon, hiding six years of heartbreak behind a calm professional facade. She's there to do a job, not to reopen wounds. But when Orm becomes her patient-fragile, stubborn, and quietly drawn to her-old emotions resurface. Slowly. Painfully. Irresistibly. As Orm's memory flickers and fragments of their past return, one truth becomes inescapable: Her soul remembers what her mind has lost. But time has changed them. Orm is engaged. Ling has built walls. And Orm's powerful family will do anything to make sure the past stays buried. In a city that never stops moving, can love survive a second chance-even if one of them might forget again?

A LINGxORM AU Orm Kornnaphat fell first. Back in The Secret of Us days, every glance, every scripted kiss, every playful touch behind the scenes carved itself into her heart. Ling Ling Kwong was gentle, warm, endlessly sweet - fixing her hair before takes, holding her hand in interviews, calling her น้อง (Nong) with a smile that Orm wanted to believe meant more. Fans screamed that they were real, and for Orm, it was too easy to drown in the fantasy. Years later, in Only You, nothing has changed - at least, not for her. Ling still dotes on her, on-cam and off-cam, with the same effortless affection. The fandom loves them, their chemistry is undeniable, and Orm's feelings have only grown sharper, deeper, impossible to contain. But Ling's heart has never been hers to hold. Behind the scenes, hidden from cameras and fans, Ling keeps a secret Orm isn't supposed to know. For Orm, every touch is salvation and every smile is torment. For Ling, it's innocent closeness, sisterly warmth, nothing more. And when the truth finally comes out, Orm is left with nothing but memories - memories that once felt like love, now poisoned with reality. A story of devotion unspoken, kindness mistaken, and heartbreak too heavy to name. Because sometimes, what feels the most real is only an illusion.
