Seventeen-year-old Lingling Kwong is drowning in silence, haunted by the night she survived the car crash that killed her brother. Sixteen-year-old Orm Kornnaphat hides her hollowness behind laughter, still reeling from her sister's suicide. When their paths cross on the edge of the Chao Phraya, they begin an unexpected journey together.
What starts as late-night walks, glass noodles, and secret projects for the school paper slowly transforms into something fragile and luminous: a love born from shared grief, whispered confessions, and the quiet courage to keep living. But as Orm's shadows deepen, Lingling must decide how far she's willing to go to pull her back from the edge.

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. No grand words were spoken. No labels were claimed. Yet hands lingered, eyes softened, and a space opened between them. 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
The Memory Between Us I LingOrm
Prologue - The Memory Between Us They said time would heal her. But two years later, Ling was still staring out the glass window of her penthouse, fingers wrapped around a cold mug of coffee she never finished. CEO. Heiress. Fiancée to a ghost. Her world ended once... And then again, when she was forced to marry someone who wasn't even hers to begin with. The vows weren't meant for her. The dress wasn't either. But the name on the marriage certificate? Ling Ling Kwong. And the bride beside her? Orm. Her sister's fiancée. It was supposed to be temporary. A contract. Just one year to protect the family name and walk away. But no one told her love doesn't follow contracts. And no one warned her how cruel memory could be. Because just when Ling finally opened her heart again... Orm forgot everything. Forgot their laughter. Their fights. Their promises. Forgot her. And now, Ling wasn't sure she had the strength to lose her all over again. DISCLAIMER This story is purely fictional.

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
