the start of khai’s life had not been a life that most would assume for the future socialite . initially , it was only khai and her mom , samorn . this isn’t to say that khai grew up with a rough childhood— not by a long shot , but being raised by a single parent is never easy . samorn had been born into a middle class family , one where although money was never abundant , they had enough to take care of household necessities and go on family vacations . the family was small , consisting of her parents and older brother , but it was a family family and a supportive one too . samorn was a dedicated student and went on to attend chiang mai university , joining the faculty of education .
while at chiang mai , samorn would go on to meet khai’s father . he was a part of the faculty of architecture , and was a fairly popular student . the two met at a social event , and one would want to say that the rest was history . it’s eight months after they decided to become official that samorn discovers that she’s pregnant . she takes an at home test , and initially she thinks it’s all in her head . it’s after a trip to the doctor that confirms the pregnancy , and that she was already about two months along . with a clear mind , samorn knows what she wants to do , so she goes to her boyfriend with the news— she doesn’t receive the reaction that she was hoping for .
‘ you should have an abortion . ’ is the first thing that her boyfriend says , and it’s not was samorn wants . it leads to arguments , tense nights of going to bed without speaking to one another , and eventually the relationship ends . she’s five months along when she makes the decision to raise her baby on her own , no matter the looks she gets from her classmates as her bump grows bigger . samorn would see her ex around campus , but after initially shying away from his stare whenever they crossed paths , samorn slowly began to not care . her friends and her family was by her side , and that was all that mattered .
it’s near the end of her third year that samorn gives birth to her healthy baby girl named aranya , whom she affectionately nicknames khai . she tried to call her ex , but she’s unsurprised when he doesn’t make an effort . samorn finds an apartment near chiang mai’s campus , and goes forth to raise her daughter on her own . samorn graduates from chiang mai with her daughter on her hip , and makes her family proud when she lands her first full - time teaching position . she takes care of herself and her daughter well , but her life changes when she meets arthit nontanakorn .
their meeting is like something out of a fairy tale , but not really , considering that arthit is a terrible driver and managed to cause a small fender bender with samorn . they were only supposed to exchange insurance information , but exchanged numbers as well , which led to the two eventually going on a date . the only thing about arthit is that he’s not just a wealthy man who caused a car accident , but he happens to be one of thailand’s most eligible bachelors . a graduate of the university of cambridge , arthit was taking a small break from school before heading off to medical school . he hailed from one of thailand’s most influential families , and it was surprising to the local media that he had fallen for a teacher who was also a single parent .
as arthit and samorn become more official , life for mother and daughter seemingly changes overnight . after their first year of dating , samorn and khai move to the luxurious district of phrom phong to live with arthit . he loves four year old khai as if she’s he’s own , and the relationship between her mom and arthit grows more and more serious . eventually , arthit manages to match with a medical school outside of the country , and decides to attend the columbia university vagelos college of physicians and surgeons . the couple becomes engaged shortly thereafter , and soon makes the move to new york .
with arthit’s background , the family settles into the upper west side . before medical school starts , arthit and samorn marry in a luxurious ceremony , and samorn settles into her new life as a stay at home mom . khai’s life is suddenly fueled with mommy and daughter dates to afternoon tea , taking ballet lessons , and attending the best schools that money can afford . when khai is thirteen , she formally asks arthit to adopt her , thus becoming khai aranya nontanakorn .
as khai grew older and she became a part of new york’s social scene , she found her footing in not so elegant ways . she is well known for being spotted with various people at any given time , often linked romantically to them even if it’s not true . khai has no interest in doing anything aside from being a socialite who happens to cover magazines sometimes , the true definition of a nepotism baby .
headcanons .
khai is most canon to lisa when her hair is long and black with bangs . she does dye her hair , but not frequently . for visual reference , click here .
khai’s family rose to fame primarily through her mother being cast on the real housewives of new york when she was sixteen . she wasn’t on the show very often aside from a few random appearances here and there , but samorn is a fan favorite considering her youth , ability to hold her own , and her overall personality .
she is very much a Man Hater:tm: . okay , she doesn’t hate them per say , but she’s very entitled in the sense that she simply can do without them unless they’re doing something for her . i wouldn’t put it past her to have a sugar daddy or two just for the hell of it / attention .
she enjoys the socialite lifestyle , especially considering that she doesn’t really have a job . growing up in the lap of luxury meant that she didn’t need one , so the ‘ job ’ of meeting up with friends and enjoying her twenties would never convince her to do otherwise .
khai doesn’t like to be called anything other than that . only her mother calls her aranya , but that too is on the rarest of occasions . if called anything aside from khai , she probably won’t answer .
she is extremely flighty and struggles with making lasting romantic connections . i’m sure she’s had partners in the past , but even then they don’t last very long . khai is sure to have had a partner that lasted longer than a year ( 👀 ) , but i’m sure she caught cold feet and sadly ended things without explanation .
ace will never understand why he received an invitation to the toy drive + charity gala , he barely had a dollar to his name . sure , he’s got a promising career as a professional football player , but he’s still nowhere near the filthy rich status most attendees there had . he still rented the suit he’s wearing , and while he took an uber on his way there , he will likely take the subway home . but when khai ( of all people ) comes to him , asks for him , he feels like a goddamn million bucks . she never really asks , not when it comes to him . she indicates what she needs from him , and he simply provides . sex , attention , affection , validation . whatever she needs , whenever she needs . “ hi , you look beautiful , as usual … ” he leans into her space , whispering near her ear as a hand rests on her lower back . so bold , so intimate , yet it works . for the guy she had previously been talking to peers around the room uncomfortably , before eyes land on the duo again . “ how’d you rate my acting skills , huh ? chip dudebro mccallister over there is lookin’ a little pissed . he might need a few days to cool off at the hamptons , with his juul pod . god forbid if he forgets his juul pod , khai ! ” and a smile curl on lips .
charity galas were never the problem . her dad was big on donating and humanitarian work , but like always , he double booked himself . it’s why khai came instead , taking photos with the event organizers and doing her absolute best to sound as though she knew what she was talking about . she didn’t really care who it was that she walked up to , just desperate to get away before she ripped out her hair . khai couldn’t deny that ace looked nice in his suit , but she wouldn’t dare to voice the compliment out loud . ‘ oh , thank god you’re here . ’ she sighs as they enter each other’s space , and a short shiver runs up her spine when his hand touches her lower back . khai knew she had a habit of getting what she wanted out of ace and leaving him dry ( no pun intended ) , but she wasn’t seeking anything other than the pleasure that comes from physical intimacy . that and she couldn’t thank him enough for getting her out of a potential disaster . khai upsells their relationship though , resting a hand against the side of ace’s neck when he leans in close and sets a soft kiss against his cheek . ‘ i’d give you a solid seven out of ten , ’ khai hums , turning her head a bit to see the other man finally get the hint from her peripheral . ‘ you’ll get a ten out of ten if you get me out of here and steal a dolce de leche cheesecake for me . ’

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 : anyone , @nepofmstarters .
the toy drive was going as well as one could expect , especially when they weren’t seeking to flaunt their wealth to a room full of millionaires . khai has already made her donation on behalf of her family’s charity , and was finally able to mingle with someone other than the finance bro who wouldn’t stop name dropping and mentioning columbia university . she has been searching for a way out for the last ten minutes , thankful for short moments when someone would stop by for a greeting . her eyes stretch at the sight of a familiar face , immediately excusing herself to approach the other . ‘ please pretend as though you’ve been looking for me , ’ khai speaks in a hushed tone . ‘ if i have to hear goldman sachs or whatever the fuck one more time , i’m actually gonna lose my mind . ’
