And Orm doesn't know she was never just a dream. This is a story about two souls that find each other in the in-between. About memory, second chances, and the kind of love that refuses to let go - even when the world does.Complete
When the Piano Sleeps (LingOrm)
Ling Kwong lives in a quiet house that hums with the sound of rain and the faint, haunting melodies of her own mind. At thirty, she is both woman and child - a rare condition she's lived with since she was fourteen, when her parents discovered that her sense of self sometimes drifts into a childlike state. Protected all her life, she has never known the world beyond her home's iron gates. Until Orm Kornnaphat Sethratanapong arrives. Orm is a pianist - patient, warm, and quietly lonely. She is hired by the Kwongs to teach Ling piano, but she soon realizes that her student is unlike anyone she has ever met. Ling's laughter carries innocence, her gaze burns with a woman's longing, and her hands tremble between playfulness and passion when they touch the piano keys - and sometimes, Orm's own. As the lessons continue, the house fills with unspoken tension: the way Orm's voice softens when she guides Ling's hands, the way Ling's eyes follow her like a secret prayer. But when Orm learns the truth about Ling's condition, fear wraps around her heart. Can she love someone whose mind sometimes drifts away from her - someone who is both a child in spirit and a woman in soul? Ling, however, is certain. In her lucid moments, she knows what she feels - and she's willing to fight for it. Even when her parents disapprove. Even when Orm pulls away. Even when her own mind betrays her.Complete
When it all falls apart
Lingling had everything-success, wealth, and a woman who loved her unconditionally. But in her pursuit of greatness, she took Orm's love for granted, brushing off her affections as mere distractions. One night, exhausted from work, Lingling ignored Orm's calls, thinking they were just more of the same sweet nothings. The next morning, she woke up to dozens of missed calls and a voicemail that shattered her world-Orm had been in a terrible accident, and her last words were "I love you." Consumed by guilt and grief, Lingling spirals into despair, wishing for nothing more than a chance to go back-to love Orm the way she deserved. That's when she stumbles upon a mysterious, glowing four-leaf clover. A whispered wish, a flash of light, and suddenly, she finds herself thrown back in time-back to when Orm was still alive.Complete
Silent Flames - LingOrm
🎬 Childhood friend to lover "Orm Kornnaphat, let's get married." This was Orm's first ever proposal. A moment that should have been joyful. But it wasn't. Lingling proposed at a funeral, under the first rainfall of the evening. What kind of lunatic would say yes to a proposal like that? No roses. No music. No ring. No one else around... just the two of them. And yet, Orm knew this wasn't an ordinary marriage. She also knew there was only one person left in this world she could still call her own. And she knew - without a doubt - that only she and Lingling could rely on each other now, to uncover who was behind the silent flames that wiped out their entire families in a single night. Orm took Lingling's hand. "Let's get married."Complete
Perfectly Imperfect
Ling never meant to fall behind. But at 30, with a toxic job, no savings, and a writing career that only exists behind a screen name, she's one family dinner away from a breakdown. Orm never meant to become an empire. But at 23, she's juggling fashion shoots, film sets, and fake smiles for a world that demands too much of her. They met once-briefly, badly. Then the universe threw them back together in the worst way: professional proximity. Now, stuck between interviews, accidental castings, and too many late-night moments where emotions slip through the cracks, the past starts rewriting itself. This isn't the story of perfect girls falling in love. This is the story of two imperfect women, slowly learning how to be loved for who they really are.
Unchosen

But when Orm returns home late one night, reeking of perfume that isn't hers, the truth Ling has refused to face begins to crumble her from the inside.Complete
Sunrise
Ling built walls no one dared to cross. Orm never meant to get that close. One rainy night cracked the silence- a warm meal shared, a pillow rearranged, a quiet that held them steady.

From solitude to care, from duty to a glance that lingered too long- something had begun. Will the dawn reveal their truth, or will shadows pull them back? Step into this tender tale of walls crumbling, hearts stirring, and a sunrise they can't unsee. OrmLingComplete
