Hello, the story may be different from other stories on the website.

A little bit because the story comes in English. I chose to write it in English because I believe I can explain the story better than Thai. I'd like everyone to try reading it a bit.
The story is about a 26-year-old energetic businessman and a 24-year-old beautiful woman who have completely different lives and personalities. But what are some of the things that these two people have influenced each other?
As stated in the blurb, this is only part of the full story. I would like to receive all feedback so that I can further develop and improve the story.
“Do you believe in love at first sight, Christmas Miracles, both perhaps? have you already passed those point of being baffled by someone who you just met for the first time or being excited about what you will get for Christmas at the same time wondering where your parents would take you for the holiday season? I am from the latter part of the population, a more experienced about life part. One time I believe in both of these things, as a child I would keep my head high looking for my love at first sight hoping to find my soulmate meanwhile waiting eagerly for the winter holiday festival of Christmas. But life has ways too screw you over, from times to times my heart would be broken by those who I am committed to dearly. However, there is a twist, all of these coincidently happened on Christmas day, the 25th December. Of the 3 breakups I have had, every single one happened on the 25th December. To others, Christmas might be a day to celebrate, a day to spend time with familiar faces. Yet to me, it is a day of pain and sadness, a day where you have pull yourself through as you must put up a façade of being happy and joyful while inside, you want to explode. However, I am thankful to those incidents. To be frank, I became who I am now because of those coincidences. I am a Business graduate who has co-founded one of the top private NEWS agencies of the country. Concurrently, I am also a student of political science at the nation’s best university for political science at the age of 26. At this time, I am on a vacation at one of the famed resorts of the country with the best room that they can offer. This is Derrick Anderson, and this is my writing for the day.”
A man closes his laptop as he let out a sign of boredom, this young man in his 20s would have an impression of a man in his mid-30s, the way how he walks, how it is so cold and intimidated to those around him. Secondly, the way he speaks: his tone is deep but full of confident and intelligence. Thirdly, his job and wealth. Last but not least, his face, it has been plagued by wrinkles beyond his age, his eyes deepened from lack of sleep. However, being such a young successful businessman has given him the chance and largely wealth to book the most expensive room in the most expensive beach resort this country has to offer with its lavishly decorated room plus the most expensive whiskey they can find. His phone rings, one of his business associates is calling him. He went out to the balcony of his room to converse; muffled voice can be heard behind the balcony door. He comes back in a half and hours later, he sits on the king-size bed that has been prepare for him, he puts his right hand on his forehead, takes a deep breath and lets out a long sign before laying down on the bed, he seems to be thinking of something. Then, he jumps out of the bed , pour a glass full of whiskey before drinking it in one go and proceeds to call someone through his phone.
At another room in a resort that costs much less than the one before, the front doors open, a girl comes in pulling her suitcase, next to her right ear is her phone. As she closes the door, the person on the other end of the line answered her call “What do you mean, am I angry? Do you think I am that childish? Look, we are both working women here, it is understandable that sometimes our bosses would have something urgent for us to do.” She sits on the plainly decorated bed. “And besides, I actually would like to travel alone at least once in my life.” She lies down on the bed. “How old am I again? Yes, 24. I can look after myself, don’t worry about me too much. Focus on the thing that keeping you alive. I will report to you, so you won’t think I died or something. Okay, bye. See you in 3 days.” This woman would give off an impression of a 24 years old woman, she looks more like a girl who are still in her college years. Her skin is still fresh and smooth, she look well-rested, her eyes still sparkles not filled with stress and fatigue, her body is well-built and fit and lastly, her enthusiasm and her attitude, although matured with age make she seems like a child. After she had done unpacking her things. She goes to take a shower, she comes out 20 minutes later, applies her skincare and collapses on to her bed.
Morning comes, there is a clear contrast between the two rooms: the man on his computer and phone working since yesterday meanwhile the girl is still sleeping soundly on her bed. Suddenly, her alarm rings, she frantically pulls herself out from her bed. Vigorously showers, quickly applies make up and sunscreen, dresses up and hurries to the entrance of her resort. She takes the first taxi she sees and hustles to the beach. When she arrives, she breathes deeply as a sight of relieve, she is right on time for the sunrise. She professionally set up her camera to quickly realises that she forgot the camera stand in the room. “This will have to make do” she tells herself as she searches for the best angle for her picture. At the same time, the young businessman had finished his work that had have kept him occupied all night long, he go on the balcony for a mouthful of fresh early morning air where he sees a figure on the beach slightly to the left of where he was facing. This figure seems to be enjoying itself, dancing around and taking god-knows how many pictures. He smiles as this morning reminds him of someone he knows.

The man is sitting on a table at his university. Although it is break time, the man is still working diligently on his computer. At the same time, a female student sees him and decides to walk toward him. “Good Afternooon” She greets him smiley “Uh hm” He coldly answers her greeting “Have you had lunch?” She asks him “Not yet, how about you?” He answers and asks her back “No, I have finished my class and I want to eat you” She shyly looks down. The man stops working and closes his laptop. “What would you like to eat?” He asks her with his frosty voice. The scene skips to when the man is preparing for his final and last exams in his university life. Again, the same girl comes and sits with him. “Is it tiring preparing for your final final exam?” She asks him caringly. “It is tiring but not impossible, remember this scene and this pile of books. This will be you two years from now.” He describes it perfectly as if he had recited this since the day he was born. The girl glances at the piles of books, then at the young man in front of her and to her phone. As she scrolls through her phone, she sees something. “Hey” she calls the man “Hm?” The man replies as he eyes fix on the text in front of him. “You should rest, don’t you agree?” She smiles as she gives him her phone. “The most worth it beaches.” the phone said. “Why did you show me this?” he asks her. The girl gives him a vicious smile. “It is right after the exam.” Before he knows it, the young man is already at the beach with girl, he looks as the girl excitedly jumps around and showing him the blue water.
Then, suddenly his mind cuts back to the present “can it be?”
