Yoko Apasra Lertprasert is barely holding it together. A once-bright Thai-Chinese designer now nursing the slow bruise of creative burnout, she spends her days freelancing, flinching at family texts, and caffeinating her way through Bangkok's chaos. She's a little lost. A little lonely. And a little too good at pretending she's fine. Her ex-girlfriend, Faye Peraya Malisorn, is the opposite-composed, meticulous, emotionally allergic. A woman of quiet routines and sharper silences. The kind of person who folds her laundry as if she's smoothing out grief. They haven't been together in a year. But thanks to joint custody of Sunny, their absurdly dramatic rescue dog with abandonment issues and a taste for durian, their lives remain stubbornly entangled. Every awkward Sunday exchange at the park, every bag of shared dog treats, every almost-accidental eye contact is a reminder of what they had-and what neither of them has figured out how to let go. Then fate, or perhaps Sunny's chaotic energy, throws them into an unexpected work collaboration. What begins as a professional inconvenience soon cracks open the carefully constructed distance between them. Old playlists resurface. So do old wounds. Alongside mango sticky rice, missed taxis, karaoke detours, and one truly terrible pet salon accident-Yoko and Faye are forced to ask the question they've both been dodging: Was the end really the end?

Faye found herself caught between holding on and moving on after discovering that her girlfriend had cheated on her. For years, she had invested her heart and time into their long-distance relationship. Her girlfriend had gone abroad to finish her studies, and did everything she could to make things work. She begged, stayed, and endured the cold treatment, convincing herself that finding someone new would be impossible. But over time, the weight of it all began to break her. Faye eventually realized that her love had pushed her into a state of depression and that holding on was hurting her more than letting go. So, she made the painful decision to walk away. One night, in an attempt to forget, Faye decided to unwind with her friends. That's when she met Yoko - a beautiful stranger she hadn't seen before. Heartbroken and drunk, Faye let her emotions take over that night, losing herself in the moment. The next morning, she woke up to a flood of notifications. To her shock, she had posted a photo of herself with Yoko - the stranger kissing her cheek - with the caption: "My future girlfriend or future heartache?" The post had gone up across all her social media accounts. Embarrassed, Faye quickly deleted the picture, hoping to erase the memory. When she returned to work, her friends teased her, asking who the mysterious girl was. Faye was speechless - she hadn't even asked for Yoko's name, number, or social media. Not knowing which friend had brought her along that night, Faye eventually distanced herself from the group, though they urged her to find the girl again. Days passed, and she couldn't get Yoko out of her mind. She kept the picture hidden in her gallery, often finding herself staring at it, whispering, "I wish she'd looked at me the way she looked at me that night."

Synopsis for The Unfinished Orbit On a humid Bangkok night in 2015, Faye, a poised salon owner and filmmaker, meets Yoko, a spirited university student, when a mismatched earring-a crescent moon without its sun-falls between them. What begins as a spark ignites a love that defies their differences, drawing them into a whirlwind of stolen moments and quiet promises. But as family pressures and divergent paths pull them apart, their bond fractures, leaving Faye in a hollow marriage and Yoko adrift in a world of art and longing. Decades later, on their deathbeds, they clutch that same earring, unraveling its truth: their love was fated to shine briefly, then fade-a moon and sun never meant to align. In this heartbreaking yet cathartic tale, The Unfinished Orbit asks: Is it better to have loved and lost, or to not have loved at all? Faye and Yoko's story offers no answers, only the ache and beauty of what might have been.

Welcome to "Guns and Crayons 2" - the second book of a story I never expected to grow this big but one that has captured my heart more and more with every chapter. What started as a simple idea has become a journey filled with danger, softness, healing, chaos and love. Writing Faye and Yoko's world has been one of the most meaningful experiences and I'm happy to continue it with all of you by my side. ------- Faye has spent her life in the shadows, built on power, danger and secrets. Yoko lives in the light, surrounded by children, warmth and hope. A mafia boss who has only ever trusted the shadows. A kindergarten teacher who lives with light in her hands. Together, they're learning that love can be both the sharpest weapon and the safest refuge. In this book, they step into new light, new dangers and a love that refuses to break. Snow, secrets, family, fear, hope - everything begins to shift. Their story is far from over. And I'm grateful you're here to witness the next chapter. (This is purely my imagination; nothing of it has anything to do with the reality. This is a world I created around Faye and Yoko, which I love with all my heart, no matter what.)

In Bangkok, Yoko lives peacefully as a mother and flower shop owner, married to Gian-the man who saved her after a painful past with Faye, the mafia boss she once loved deeply. Seven years ago, Yoko believed Faye died in a violent clash with her father. Gravely ill at the time, she was said to have received Faye's heart. Now, with a husband and a daughter named after her lost love, Yoko tries to move on while living with memories she can never escape.

That position was supposed to be mine, not that rich brat's who came holding daddy's hand. However, lying about my identity was never part of the plan.... Despite earning her degree, Faye Malisorn's dreams of an office job were crushed by the rigid class lines of her town and the relentless pressure from her family to follow the same oil-rig path, generations before her had taken. Trapped and resentful, she watched helplessly as the coveted position was handed to Yoko Apasra, a privileged newcomer. Faye's bitterness was instant, until the tiny, sunshine-bright heiress turned her attention to Faye and decided, with startling determination, that they were going to be close instead. As the days went by, she kept wanting more....

Years of Loving You follows Faye, a wealthy heiress, secretly in love with her oblivious step-cousin Yoko. With the family scheming to bring them together, Faye's patience is tested through misunderstandings, jealousy, and tender moments, as Yoko slowly realizes her feelings, leading to a long-awaited confession and their inevitable union.

🌸 Circle of Blooming Love 🌸 For the love they share, and the path they've walked together. I first started this series under the title FayeYoko ❤️🩹 to cheer up the fans a little. Back then, it was meant as a small comfort, a gentle balm for those who needed it. Now, I look at it with a different heart: less sad, more nostalgic, deeply grateful. This series is my circle, my safe place, my little bubble. 🌻🦋 LOVE Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not humiliate others, it does not seek its own interest. It is not easily angered, it does not hold grudges. Love does not rejoice in evil, but finds its joy in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Everything grows through love, and everything is accomplished by love. Hundreds, thousands, or millions of people none live without love in their hearts. But love has no reason, because to have a reason is not to love. ✨ Circle of Blooming Love will always remain my bubble of love, nostalgia, and tenderness. 🌶️ = { RATED M | E } ⚠️
