Day One [Grace × Oaey]

They met on the very first day of university.

Grace was loud laughter in crowded hallways, warm coffee at 8 a.m., and the kind of person who could make strangers feel like home within minutes. Oaey, meanwhile, was quieter, the type who hid emotions behind gentle smiles and late replies, carrying entire storms in her chest without letting anyone notice.

No one understood when exactly they became inseparable.

Maybe it was the rainy evening Grace shared her umbrella without asking.

Maybe it was the night Oaey fell asleep on a library table while Grace covered her with her hoodie.

Or maybe it happened slowly in stolen glances, lingering touches, and all the little moments that started feeling bigger than friendship.

For years, they stayed in-between.
Not quite lovers.
Not quite strangers.

Until life began pulling them apart.

Dreams changed. People changed. Timing became cruel.

And suddenly, the girl who once knew every detail about Oaey's life became someone she could only watch through social media updates and old photographs buried deep inside her phone gallery.

But some memories refuse to disappear.

Especially the memories from day one.

So when Grace unexpectedly returns to Bangkok after years away, Oaey is forced to confront the feelings she never confessed and the question she's been avoiding all along:

"If we loved each other all this time... why did we let go?"

A story about almost-love, unfinished timing, and two girls trying to find their way back to the beginning.
