William has always been the quiet one - not unloved, not forgotten, just comfortable standing at the edge of the world instead of the center. While his older brother Pond thrives in Bangkok as a popular basketball captain, William spends his senior year in Hat Yai watching life unfold from a distance.
That's when he notices Est.
Cold. Untouchable. The swim team captain everyone admires but no one truly approaches. William only knows him through social media - a face on a screen, a voice in the background of video calls, a presence he shouldn't feel so drawn to.
What begins as harmless curiosity slowly becomes a silent, one-sided love that lasts three years.
When William finally moves to Bangkok for college and forms a band with Nut, Hong, Tui, and Lego - LYKN - he steps into the spotlight for the first time. But loving Est up close hurts more than loving him from afar.
Because Est never looks at him the way William looks at Est.
Not until it might be too late.
A slow-burn story about quiet devotion, missed timing, protective friendships, and what it means to finally be seen.
