those years between us

SALOME LAM likes to think of herself as a rational girl. Everything she does, she thinks about first. With her friends she's the mother figure, the one always looking out for them and taking care of them. This is how she works, unless it comes to Orion Ip.

All her life, Salome Lam has known Orion Ip. And for as long as that, she's loved him too. When growing up in Hong Kong, he was the neighbourhood older brother. And in her years studying alongside him in England, he became an infatuation. Someone she could only dream about, but never have.

The white moonlight. And so, she gives up.

Until she goes to university and finds herself moving into the apartment right across him.

But perhaps, there was still time for one last try. Before Salome truly, for once and for all, decided to cut Orion Ip and all those years between them out of her life.
