Whale Store XOXO EP6 – Sleepovers, Pulls & Mom Notices

Updated: Aug 9

Let’s be real—Whale Store continues to serve top-tier sapphic storytelling with heart, humor, and just the right amount of emotional chaos. Episode 6 hits all the marks: heartfelt confessions, first-time nerves, and a flirtation sequence (yes, we’re looking at you, strap pull) that had us squealing into our pillows. Whether you're tuning in for #MilkLove, #JuneMewnich, or the soft-slow burn charm of this Thai GL series, this episode brought authentic performances and satisfying progression. Let’s unpack it all.


Wan and Maewnam giggle while painting together, sharing a soft, playful moment as they lock eyes mid-project—sapphic joy in full effect.

🛏 The Sleepover Scene (AKA The Giggly Girlfriend Glow-Up)

Wan asking Maewnam to sleep over? BOLD. We weren’t mad though—girl’s got guts and game. Even though Maewnam initially declined (cue sapphic sigh), it was no surprise when she second-guessed herself and Wan summoned her back with that whistle. Whistle. Game. Strong.


And yes, the speed-cleaning moment from Wan had us CACKLING. We’ve all been there. But the way they ended up giggling through games and TV shows like two teens in love? ADORABLE. Add in Maewnam opening up about her past that led them to softly cuddle as they fell asleep? We literally yelled “AWW” and clutched our emotional support plushie.

And don’t even get us started on that morning-after banter. The way these two flirt like it’s their full-time job? 10/10 would binge again.


💅 The Outing “Test” (And Our Complicated Feelings)

Tonnom and Chom painting nails? Domestic bliss. We love how Chom comes alive in quiet moments with Tonnom—it’s giving safety, softness, and authentic fun.


But when they asked Maewnam for permission to share her dating news just to use it as a test for Chom’s mom? Mixed feelings. We kind of wish Wan had just told her straight up—especially since the teasing already happened. That said, Chom is clearly still working through some big fears. Her mom’s reaction was everything though. Supportive energy activated! 🙌


Still… we need more context. What exactly is Chom afraid of? Her mom seems chill. We're rooting for her, but c’mon girl, unpack that fear.


👭 Bestie Boundaries (Noey Deserves the World)

Justice for Noey. The second Wan hugged her, we knew it was going to sting. The girl has feelings, okay? But shout-out to her for recognizing her own worth and stepping back. Boundaries are beautiful. Also… if she’s taking applications, we’d like to volunteer as tribute. 😘


🍲 Dinner with Mom (Also, Are We Moving In or…?)

Chom’s plan to "show" her mom she’s dating Tonnom is… awkward. But also, her mom clearly already knows. Between food sharing, arm flirting under the table, and sleeping arrangements? Girl, your Mom is nosey not blind—you know.


But wait… Chom joking (?) about living at her mom’s house with Tonnom, right?? RED FLAG. That sounds like a fast track to tension, not romance. Why give up their safe, independent space? We’re hoping that was sarcasm and not a plot twist. 👀


Also, Chom: read the room. Tonnom does not seem ready to be cozy around your mom while pretending to be “just friends.”


🕊 Wan’s Dream Closure (Cue the Tears)

Wan dreaming of her dad was powerful, heartfelt, and beautifully portrayed. Shoutout to Milk for delivering an emotionally grounded scene that felt so real it stung. It’s rare to see grief handled this softly, and the healing arc was well-earned. We shed a tear. Or three.


🖌 The Store Makeover (And The Scene That Had Us Gasping)

Wan asking Maewnam to help rebrand the store? On brand and on cue. And that backhug? Double swoon. We love women in business and in love.


But let’s talk about that scene.


Maewnam catches Wan mid-shirt-change and visibly short-circuits. We get it! The paint wipe-down? Flirty. Wan leaning in and gently sliding the strap off Maewnam’s shoulder? SCREAMING. This was their moment—their first real step into intimacy as a couple.

We appreciated how soft, skittish, and sincere the scene was. Though, we wouldn’t have minded a bit more heat (paging #FreenBecky for lessons?). Still, it was authentic and intimate in all the right ways.


🌊 Final Thoughts: Feels, Flirting, and Forward Motion

Whale Store continues to deliver surprising depth, sweet sapphic progression, and strong acting from everyone—especially our leads. Wan and Maewnam gave us cozy couple energy, while Tonnom and Chom continue to explore deeper emotional territory. We do wish we had a bit more clarity on Chom’s internal fears, but we’re trusting the process.


Next week’s preview though? SEATED. Tonnom hinting to Chom’s mom that she may not be into men? YEP. We’re already sweating.
