It had been a long time since he had seen eyes that captured the essence of youth so vividly, like a mirror reflecting the passionate hopes and dreams he once had. Those dazzling eyes made him do a double take.

"P'Aof, are you filming here today?" - Faris gently tapped P'Aof's shoulder as he stood in the busy area of the set.

"Wow, are you planning to buy out the entire mall?" - P'Aof turned around, his face relaxing from his earlier serious expression.

"I'll save a good spot for you, haha." - They both laughed heartily, grabbing each other's shoulders and stepping aside to chat.

P'Aof and Faris had known each other since their business management classes. Their different specialties gave them plenty to talk about. Nearly nine years of close friendship made them like brothers, always helping each other in their respective fields, despite not meeting often.

"Give me 30 mins to finish this last scene, then let's grab lunch. My treat!"

"Sure!"

Just then, Faris noticed the actors moving into the set for the final shot. This is a scene of Bed Friend The Series, involving Uea being disturbed by his ex at work. James and the other actors performed smoothly; only needing one more take. Faris's gaze naturally gravitated toward James. Even without prompting, he quickly realized that James was the main actor - a young man with a delicate face, slender build, fair skin, and large eyes that could draw anyone in if they looked long enough.

Strangely, despite the "aura of the main actor", no one had ever made him feel this indescribable sensation before. For a long time, he couldn't tear his gaze away from those eyes, as if he were searching for something very specific.

James, also known as JamesSu, was a talented young actor under Domundi (DMD) in Thailand. He had joined the company in its early days, belonging to the second generation - Gen 2. After working his way up through minor roles, the lead role in Bed Friend marked a major turning point in his career. James was prepared to give his all at every opportunity he got, always serious and respectful in his craft. It was no surprise, then, that Faris found himself captivated by the young man's intense gaze.

The director called "cut," announcing that the scene was good and they could wrap up. All the actors greeted each other and left. James had noticed P'Aof talking with Faris earlier, so he turned to him and bowed his head in greeting with a slight smile. Faris quickly nodded back, and fortunately, his sunglasses covered some of the awkwardness in his gaze

"All done, Faris. Let's go." - P'Aof approached, and they both left the parking lot.

'Those eyes awakened a feeling I thought I had forgotten. I want to see them again, is that too much to ask?'
