**1950**

The rain fell in sheets, relentless and unforgiving, as Heart and Liming sprinted through the narrow alleyways of their small, conservative town. Their clothes clung to their bodies, soaked through, but they barely noticed the cold. All they could think about was the fear and hatred that chased them.

Heart glanced over his shoulder, his dark eyes wide with panic. "We have to keep moving, Liming," he urged, gripping his lover's hand tighter. "They won't stop until they find us."

Liming nodded, his chest heaving with exertion. "I know, Heart. But where can we go? They're everywhere."

The world seemed to close in around them, the narrow streets becoming a labyrinth of hopelessness. Heart's mind raced, searching for an escape. They had hidden their love for so long, but in a moment of carelessness, they had been discovered. Now, the price for their love was their lives.

As they turned a corner, the flickering lights of an old, abandoned warehouse came into view. Heart pulled Liming toward it. "In here," he said. "We can hide until they pass."

They stumbled inside, the door creaking ominously as it shut behind them. Heart and Liming collapsed onto the cold, concrete floor, their breaths coming in ragged gasps. The darkness of the warehouse enveloped them, providing a brief respite from the world outside.

Heart turned to Liming, his voice trembling. "I'm so sorry, Liming. I never wanted this for us."

Liming reached out, cupping Heart's face in his hands. "It's not your fault, Heart. We knew the risks. But I would rather have a short life with you than a long one without."

Heart's eyes filled with tears as he leaned into Liming's touch. They stayed like that, holding each other, as the sounds of their pursuers grew louder outside. The hatred of society had found them, and there was no more running.

A crash echoed through the warehouse as the door was kicked open. Heart and Liming stood up, facing the inevitable. They held each other's hands, their love a defiant flame against the darkness that sought to extinguish it.

**Present Day**

The bustling lobby of the luxury hotel was filled with the excited chatter of actors, directors, and producers. Gemini Norawit glanced around, taking in the scene. He was here for the first gathering of the cast and crew of the upcoming series that had the entire industry buzzing.

As he made his way through the crowd, a familiar voice stopped him in his tracks. He turned, and his eyes locked with those of Fourth Nattawat, an actor he had admired from afar but never met in person. There was an inexplicable sense of recognition, a feeling that this moment was significant.

"Gemini, right?" Fourth said, extending his hand with a warm smile. "I've seen your work. It's great to finally meet you."

Gemini shook his hand, feeling a strange spark of connection. "Thanks, Fourth. It's an honor to meet you too. I've been a fan of your performances for a while."

Their conversation flowed effortlessly, and soon they were joined by their managers, who had news that would change everything.

"Gemini, Fourth," Fourth's manager began, "I have some exciting news. You two are going to be co-actors in an upcoming movie. The chemistry between you two is exactly what the director is looking for."

Gemini felt a rush of emotions—excitement, curiosity, and that strange sense of déjà vu that had been nagging at him since the moment he saw Fourth. He glanced at Fourth and saw a similar mixture of emotions reflected in his eyes.

"Looks like we'll be spending a lot of time together," Fourth said, a hint of amusement in his voice. "I hope you're ready for this."

Gemini chuckled, feeling a warmth spread through him. "I think we can handle it. Let's make this movie unforgettable."

As they left the gathering, their conversation continued, each step bringing them closer not just as colleagues, but as two souls unknowingly intertwined by a past neither could remember.
