Chapter Text
Orm
After the fan meeting held in Philippines, we finally had some free time for ourselves. Frankly, I wouldn’t consider it as a “free time” as I am working on my Masters.
It has been a day since we got home from Philippines and here I am sitting face to face with my computer, working out on a current paper that I need to pass.
Time to time, a name so familiar would pop up in my head that I needed to take a quick break.
“Lingling Kwong.”
“I wonder what she’s doing right now.” I thought to myself. I smiled as I imagine her either being at the gym working her ass off or at some omakase restaurant, happily eating her newly discovered food.
“Should I message her? Should I call her?”
I jumped to my bed and rolled until I arrived on a decision that I, in fact, will not call her.
“She finally had some time to herself; I shouldn’t disturb her...”
“But I really wanted to disturb her..argghh!! I need some distractions.”
I reached for my phone and started scrolling on “X”, I saw clips of us in the recent fan meetings, being giddy as we met new fans on another country. P’Lingling is in her usual protective self as I am ‘again’ wearing ‘provocative’ dress (which btw I think is very modest, just a dress that shows my entire back and has a slit from leg down).
And I found myself missing her. And now I am back to deciding if I should message her.
“These clips are not making me feel sane, I need to do something.” I throw my phone on my bed and worked on my paper again. This time, more focused.

Pulling an all-nighter to finish my paper (and sneaking in some game time with Kwang), I am now driving to University to pass my paper.
I am applauding myself as I am not a morning person, but it is now 7am and I am heading to Uni.
Although Orm admit, it is not only the papers and the gaming that kept her up at night.
It is also her.
“Lingling Sirilak Kwong.”
It’s driving her crazy not to message her, but she’s also not messaging Orm.
Does she not miss her? Like what is she up to? Is she hanging out with someone?
Her thoughts were interrupted when her phone rang.
And here it is, Caller ID: linglingkwong
I’ve been missing her for the past few days, but why I am so nervous to answer her call? Why am I so giddy?
O: linglingkong~
L: N’Orm, why did you take so long to answer?
I had to compose myself as I am feeling very nervous at the moment.
O: I am driving that’s why.
L: Oh? Did I call at a bad time?
O: Noooo, it’s okay.
O: You know, I kinda miss you Lingling Kwongggg~
P’Lingling chuckled before she answered. “cute.”
L: Then why don’t I receive any messages from you at all?
I see, so she’s missing me as well. My morning just got better.
O: Do I have the right to just call and disturb you anytime?
L: I have lost my right to say no to you a long time ago.
I laughed as I remember our inside joke, which also is shared to the fandom. “You don’t have the right”
O: So, what have you been up to, aside from missing me too much?
And there it is, Lingling’s laugh. My day just keeps getting better and better.
L: Aside from wondering if you had a good sleep for the past few days, I am now at Kalesin with my family.
Kalesin?? That’s too far from Bangkok! I sighed.
L: Why? Is it too far for you to come and disturb me?
O: You really know me too much now. You are so far Lingling Kwonggg, I guess I won’t be able to just show up and disturb you.
L: I was near to you the whole time and you never say yes to my dinner invites.
Silence..
L: I was just kidding. I know you are busy with work and now with Masters. You can take your time and let me know when can we have dinner.
I felt guilty as I have been declining her invite for us to eat out. Our time together are always at work.
O: P’Lingling~
L: I understand to completely N’Orm, you are driving way too early. Have you slept well and where are you heading?
O: P’Lingling you are too talkative now, it is clear you are missing me.
She did not say anything but I heard a faint chuckle.
O: I am driving now to Uni as I need to pass my requirements, I have not slept well since I had to finish this. Also someone was occupying my mind too much~
All I heard was silence and then a deep sigh.
L: Who?
O: Huh?
I am having a hard time stifling a laugh. Here comes dense Lingling again.
L: Who is occupying your mind?
You. Stupid.
O: I arrived now at the university.
L: N’Orm.
O: I am walking now to the Film and Arts Building..
L: N’Orm!
O: What?
L: Who is it?
O: *laughs* I can imagine you pouting now.
L: I am. So tell me who is it?
O: I am really heading to the faculty.
L: Tell me first.
Lingling Kwong why are you so adorable? You make my heart swell.
“Lingling Kwong, your assignment is to figure that out. I need to go… I miss you.”
And with that I hang up.
“Orm, seems like my day is starting the right way.” I muttered to myself as I enter my professor’s room.
