Serendipity is sometimes life's way of whispering, " Hey, I have something special for you here."

[At DMD]

"It's okay, dear. If you can't go to CCS (Coral Children's Shelter) today, we can go tomorrow. No one will blame you!" - Mae Ker, his manager, comforted him with a pat on the shoulder.

"I didn't expect this morning shoot to last so long. If it hadn't, I could had time to gift the kids before this afternoon's event!" - James said, pouting regretfully.

"Yes, I understand. We'll go play with the kids tomorrow. There are staff already helping at the shelter now, so don't worry naaa, James. Now, let's get ready for your makeup!" - Mae Ker urged him to prepare for the award ceremony.

This 23-year-old boy, at first glance, James might look like a privileged young man with a comfortable life, but he used to help his grandfather deliver goods and do various part-time jobs to earn pocket money. This early on, he had realized the value of money, and self-reliance, and, above all, empathized with the hardships of those less fortunate.

Although James' family was not among the wealthiest in Thailand, he always appreciated what he had. He understood that not everyone was lucky enough to have a loving family like him. Therefore, he deeply empathized with children growing up without such support of their loved ones.

This understanding motivated him to donate gifts and essential items to the children at Coral Children's Shelter every quarter. He knew how precious a helping hand could be when it's needed the most.

[At an archery range in Bangkok]

Under the blazing sun, the atmosphere was so quiet that even the sound of the wind was audible. A sturdy figure stood firmly in the archery range. Faris gripped the bow steadily, his breathing even and controlled, keeping his body still. With a strong hand, he drew back the bowstring, increasing the tension as the arrow prepared to pierce through the air.

But just as the arrow was about to be released, those eyes suddenly flashed in his mind again - a fleeting image that distracted his usual focus for a split second. The arrow shot forward with great force, but instead of hitting the bullseye, it veered to the side, scoring only 6 points.

"Hahaha, is the knight losing his edge today? Have you fallen for someone?" - Gus's teasing voice echoed out - he was a core teammate since the early days of Illuminate, the only one who could joke with him like that. Now holding the position of Deputy Director of Business Development. True to his name, Gus's charming way with words had helped Faris secure million-dollar deals from competitors on numerous occasions, but that didn't mean he endorsed Gus's extravagant lifestyle; he was too flashy.

"You better focus on negotiating with Dansiri, whether they become partners or rivals is up to them!" - He dismissed Gus's taunts, reminding him of their upcoming meeting with their biggest current competitor.

"Sigh, no fun at all! Alright, alright, I'll leave!" - Gus lost interest, discarding his bow and leaving.

He no longer felt like continuing the practice; Gus's remark, "Have you fallen for someone?", was still bothering him. How could that be?

Before ending his practice, he wanted to jog around the nearby park to clear his head. After a while, he ran past a fairly crowded area, probably someone was having a party for some kids, but he didn't pay much attention.

As he strode past the main gate, he suddenly stopped and took a step back, because he saw something quite familiar, it was those eyes again! No, it was the whole person! But it wasn't a real person! It was on a poster in front of a shelter with the words: "Thanks to actor James Supamongkon for supporting the CCS shelter."

He stared blankly for a long time and then said to himself: "Ah, so his name is James..."
