Orm Kornnaphat spins beats for a living, peels off her crop tops like second skin, and flirts like it's her native tongue.

Lingling Kwong wears poise like a crown-cool, careful, and untouched by the chaos of the club scene.

They weren't close back in pageant class five years ago-just names, nods, and shared mirrors. But when Orm spots Lingling at her Friday night set, drunk and breathtaking under neon lights, things spiral fast: an accidental kiss in the staff bathroom, a bed they don't remember climbing into, and a heat neither of them knows how to name yet.

What follows is a slow, hot unraveling-touches that linger too long, glances that dare too much, and stolen nights that taste like everything they're not supposed to want.

She's the beat.
She's the beauty.

And by the time the bass drops, Orm doesn't know if she's dancing toward danger-or falling straight into her.

Orm is a dreamer who texts someone who's perfected the art of leaving her on "seen." Lingling is a star athlete, effortlessly cool and just a little mysterious. Their story? Mostly quiet moments and awkward silences, until something unexpected started to take shape. A secret world of DMs, sharp banter, and confessions hiding between the lines. Orm fell first, utterly smitten. Then, to her surprise, Lingling was falling even harder (and maybe a little more awkwardly). This is a story about love in the digital age: a tender, honest, and sometimes hilarious look at pride, fear, jealousy, and the beautiful chaos of choosing to love out loud.
