The ongoing Thai GL series 23.5 (23point5) released episode 6 on Friday, April 12, 2024, at 8:30 p.m. ICT on channel GMM 25. The high school romance follows the story of Ongsa (Milk Pansa Vosbein), whose life turns around after she moves to the big city. As she joins a new school, Ongsa comes across her online crush, Sun (Love Pattranite Limpatiyakorn).
Episode 6 of 23.5 begins with Ongsa’s family growing worried as she becomes unusually quiet. She attributes her silence to exam stress. After Ongsa excuses herself from the dinner table, Alpha urges Aylin to talk to her. However, Ongsa refuses to open the door and cries in her room alone.
The following day at school, Sun proudly displays her bracelet from Earth to her friends. However, they speculate that Earth might be keeping something from her since he didn’t meet Sun on her birthday. Despite their doubts, Sun remains steadfast in her trust for Earth. Meanwhile, Ongsa, overhearing the conversation, feels guilty for not disclosing the truth to Sun.
During the Astronomy Club meeting, Ongsa drifts off once more, prompting concern from the others. Aylin seeks Luna’s assistance in persuading Ongsa to confess to Sun. Later, Ongsa is taken aback when her mom reveals that Aylin has invited their friends over for a sleepover. Confronting Aylin, Ongsa discovers that Sun and Luna were invited to collaborate on the club’s project. Aylin urges Ongsa to seize the opportunity to reveal her true identity to Sun as Earth.
While working together, Luna questions if Sun finds it suspicious that Earth does not talk on the phone or send his pictures. Sun emphasizes that she knows and trusts him. Luna then asks if Sun’s feelings would change when she meets and he is not what she imagined him to be.
In the course of 23.5 episode 6, Sun firmly asserts that her feelings would remain unchanged, as she appreciates Earth for who they are. Aylin urges Ongsa to seize the moment to confess, but Ongsa hesitates once more. Eventually, they agree that Sun will stay in Ongsa’s room while Luna shares Aylin’s.
23.5 episode 6 recap: Does Love Pattranite forgive Milk Pansa?
Luna is fascinated by Aylin’s alien and UFO-related collection in her room. Meanwhile, Ongsa sets up bedding on the floor for herself and tells Sun to take the main bed. However, the latter refuses to let Ongsa sleep on the floor and asks her to share the bed. Ongsa again tries to tell Sun about Earth but cannot bring herself to do so. She compliments the latter’s smile instead.
The next morning, Sun sends Earth a morning message and is flustered when she sees Ongsa’s phone ping. When Ongsa wakes up, Sun asks if she is Earth. The former starts apologizing, while Sun is shaken as she questions her relationship with Earth. Sun asks Ongsa to explain; however, the latter runs away crying. Meanwhile, Luna and Aylin look for Ongsa and Sun. Sun then informs Aylin that she has already left and that she knows about Earth.
Afterward, in 23.5 episode 6, Aylin and Luna look for Ongsa as they cannot reach her phone. When they can’t find her, Aylin informs the family about Ongsa. After a long search, their family finds Ongsa sitting alone in a park’s court.
When she doesn’t tell her parents what happened, Alpha hugs Ongsa, and the latter breaks down in tears. Later, Aylin informs Sun they found Ongsa and that she is safe. While holding the bracelet, Sun remembers her moments with Ongsa and says, “It’s good that Ongsa is Earth.”
The next day, Ongsa finds Sun waiting for her, wondering if she got her message the night before. However, Ongsa was too afraid to read it. Sun asks Ongsa to speak to her directly, but the latter runs away again.
Towards the end of 23.5 episode 6, Sun finds Ongsa at the same park where the former had asked Earth to meet her. Ongsa apologizes for being a girl, not a guy like Sun assumed. However, Sun says it does not matter if Earth is a guy or a girl; it is Ongsa, whom she talked to. The episode ends with Sun asking to get to know Ongsa again as she is this time.
