A great opportunity
Orm is late. She was at university and probably wouldn't make it in time if Kun Koy hadn't insisted so much that she really should go, as Mae has said " Nong Orm! you really have to go. You can't lose this casting for anything. You have to be there, it doesn't matter how". Orm found Mae's behaviour very odd and out of place, but she knew Kun Koy was really methodical when she scheduled any appointment, so Orm left it behind for now and focused on her main task that is: How the hell will I arrive there on time?
She Didn't.

Orm knows that a lot of people think about her as a naive person, because of the way she acts and how approachable she is. Some even think that her easy-to-talk demeanor is just a facade, a way of take advantage of some situations, and others think she is just another spoiled nepobaby on the industry. She disagrees and can’t even understand why there’s this kind of person who always have a distorted perception of who she is. Of course she understands that few individuals really know her well enough to know who she really is, but that doesn’t make her less frustrated about how people treat her based on prejudice.
Her mother knows exactly how she feels, because they are really close. Even though Orm kept part of her activities and interactions away from Koy’s knowledge, to maintain her own piece of privacy, one thing was never a secret and that is her admiration for her idols(including some actors from the same channel as her). She even said, in an interview, how she was envying Mae's luck for being casted on the same production as some of them.
And that longing for being as lucky as Mae made her make a decision to try a career in the entertainment industry.
As a teenager, she began her path as an actress participating in training and smaller presentations organized by the channel she was linked to. Everybody knows this. It isn’t news for fans or even other people in the industry.
What few people know is that she came to admire one of her coworkers a little bit much… And Khun Koy is one of those people.
She always found it cute how Orm’s smile brightens whenever she sees a new post or interaction from Ling. Sometimes she even turned the screen to Koy just to show how pretty and talented Ling was or even to show that, even not being as active as Orm on social media, she took some time to wish her happy birthday or like Orm comments. Her admiration was such that she always talked about how she wanted to work anytime in any project with Ling, even if their casts have few interactions.
Knowing this, Naruemon, as Orm’s personal manager, wrote Orm in the auditions for the first sapphic show ever produced by channel 3. She did it after receiving internal information that LingLing finished her last project recording, had received the script for the new series and was speculated to be casting as one of the main characters. This was the chance Orm would have to finally act alongside an actor she really admires and Mae Koy wouldn’t let the opportunity escape because, even if none of them got select as starring roles, they possibly would interact on the pre selection and that bring happiness to Koy just thinking of the joy her daughter would feel.

Mae, as Orm learnt when she was about to give up the casting, knew a really great news that prompt N'Orm to be on action and run to the audition as if her life depends on it: Ling had done the same casting and has passed to the next stage. That brought a fire she didn't new she had inside. So she ran.
She arrived really late and had no time to even change her college uniform yet, it's too late for this too. She apologized for it, waited for her clue to start and did the best she could do, with Nene as her acting partner.
Trying for both of the main characters what really helped with the characterization and leveled up her chances was her actual natural bubbly behaviour.
