Ongsa’s high school life takes an unexpected twist when she casually wishes her vibrant classmate Sun “sweet dreams” using her Instagram name “Earth,” a name that might sound more like a boy’s. This simple act leads to a misunderstanding, as Sun mistakenly believes she’s chatting with a boy. Despite the mix-up, Ongsa hesitates to correct Sun’s assumption, afraid she might lose the chance to keep talking to her.
Determined to keep their connection alive, Ongsa chooses to keep her real identity hidden and continues chatting with Sun as “Earth.” Though Ongsa’s intentions are pure, hiding her identity adds a layer of secrecy to their conversations.

As Ongsa deals with this newfound friendship with Sun, she faces the dilemma of honesty versus preserving their connection. Despite the initial confusion, Ongsa is drawn to Sun’s cheerful nature and is committed to nurturing their blossoming friendship, even if it means maintaining the facade of her Instagram alias Earth.
