The next morning, Film woke up with the sun's beam gently filtering through the curtains. The scent of the sea filled the room. Turning around, he saw Namtan still asleep, a serene expression on her face in her dreams. The golden light highlighted the features of her face; Film couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the beauty of that moment. The decision to spend the night together became clearer and clearer, and the beat of his heart reflected a sweet new awareness.

He tried to get up silently from the bed, but before doing so he approached and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead. Namtan opened his eyes, stretched and smiled loudly. «Good morning, beautiful!» He exclaimed, his eyes still shiny with sleep.

"Good morning," Film replied, his heart filling with affection. Namtan extended his arms and Film let himself be embraced, feeling the security and love of that gesture.

«What are we doing today?» Namtan asked, as they got out of bed and got ready. Accomplices of their adventure, even the way they dressed together seemed full of meaning, as if they were weaving their new story together.

«I thought we could explore the area a little, maybe go to the beach and enjoy the salty air,» Film suggested, a spark of enthusiasm in his voice.

«Yes, I like it! Maybe we could also go snorkeling and discover the colorful fish that swim here!» Namtan proposed, the eyes that shone with excitement.

After having breakfast in a small coffee shop adjacent to the hotel, the two girls headed towards the beach. The sun was shining high in the sky, and the white sand was warm under their bare feet as they walked with a kind of fairy tale. The waves of the sea gently licked the shore, and the blue and turquoise colors blended perfectly with the sky.

Once they reached the beach, they settled on a lounger, enjoying the warm sea breeze and the refreshing sound of the waves. Film watched the children playing along the shore and the adults tanning, while Namtan plunged into the water with enthusiasm, inviting Film to follow her.

«Come, the water is incredible!» He called Namtan, diving without hesitation.

Film, after a moment of hesitation, joined her. The water was fresh and regenerating, and as they dived and played in the waves, all worries vanished. The smiles and laughter echoed under the scopping sun, while the intensity of their connection created unforgettable moments. Their bodies touched each other as they swam together, and each interaction suggested an ever deeper complicity.

After a few hours of playing in the water, the girls decided to catch their breath and return to the sand. They lay down in the sun, closing their eyes and letting themselves be embraced by the warm rays. But as the wind blew and the waves broke, Film felt his phone vibrate in the bag.

With a bit of reluctance, he decided to check, finding himself in front of Anan's number. A knot formed in her stomach. He knew he couldn't ignore it for much longer. "I have to answer," he said, his face gloomy.

Namtan looked at her, his smile faltering. «Okay, but don't let it ruin our moment. Remember what we decided," he reminded her, while Film grabbed the phone.

With a sigh, Film replied. «Hi, Anan. Everything ok?»

"Movie! Where are you? I've been looking for you all morning," said Anan, his voice full of worry. «We had a meeting for the project and you didn't give me your news.»

Film felt his heart stop. Yes, they had a meeting, but it was impossible for her to return now, after having unexpectedly found happiness with Namtan. «Sorry, I took a couple of days to relax. Don't worry, we'll organize everything in a short time!» He replied, trying to maintain his light tone.
