The next morning, Minjae arrived at the airport early in the morning. He barely had any sleep. He wore a cap and lowered it to his swollen eyes, covering them. He walked towards the private departure gate where the cast and crew were currently waiting.

The early morning rush with travelers. Fortunately, the production team had made arrangements for a smooth departure.

Yura was already there, sipping on a cup of coffee while chatting with a few staff members. She spotted Minjae approaching them, and she waved at him with a bright smile.

"You’re early today," she teased.

"Of course," Minjae smirked. "Though I barely had any sleep."

"Me too," Yura chuckled. It was only coffee that was keeping her alive right now.

After a few minutes, Seojin, who would be playing as Yura’s sister, arrived. She was followed by Haejin and Jihoon. The five of them would be flying, together with a few more cast and extras.

"Is everyone here?" In front, Director Hwang asked his assistant.

"Yes, director."

"Gather them."

Director Hwang soon called for everyone’s attention for a quick briefing before boarding.

The one week shoot in Jeju would involve various scenes, be it indoor or outdoors. With a limited amount of time, they will be very busy. He had top remind them that there might be times wherein they will only have a few hours as an allowance to rest.

As they boarded the plane, Minjae found himself seated next to Yura. Donghyun, who was kind enough to accompany him, was seated with the few important staff of the drama.

The sound of the aircraft filled the cabin as they settled in.

"Have you been to Jeju before?" Yura asked as she adjusted her seatbelt.

"Nope," Minjae replied, looking out the window. "I’m too poor to travel that far," he uttered, speaking of his body’s experience.

"I see," Yura hummed in understanding. "Well, it’s my first time, too. I hope after filming, we’d still have enough time to go around," she wished.

"Me too." Minjae turned to her with an amused glint in his eyes.

"Well, we have to do our scenes perfectly each time then," Seoyoung grinned.

Minjae chuckled and nodded.

"It seems like that’s what we need to do."

The flight was smooth and short for them. After an hour, they were already descending toward Jeju Island. The view of the turquoise ocean and green mountains stretched out beneath them.

The moment they stepped out of the airport, a chilly wind greeted them. They had to wear thicker clothes because of the cold weather.

The team quickly headed to their accommodations. They rode a van to go to one of the traditional villages on the island. In there, they stayed in a traditional guest house surrounded by lush greenery.

Each cast member was given their own rooms for comfortability.

Director Hwang gave them a few hours to rest and settle down. However, on the same afternoon, they gathered for their first scene.

There was no time to rest for long, except for those who still didn’t have any scenes.

Coastal Cafe.

The cozy cafe where the first scene would take place was located in a quiet corner near the village where they were staying at. It was surrounded by trees and a charming stone wall, one of the popular attractions in the place.

The production team had rented the place for the entire day, transforming it into the cafe that Seojin was supposed to own. It would be one of the places where they will shoot a lot of scenes.

Inside, the cafe had an earthy and warm ambiance. Wooden tables and chairs were arranged neatly, with small potted plants placed in the middle of each table.

The walls were adorned with framed photographs of Jeju’s beautiful landscapes. There were also multiple paintings hanging, giving it a small artistic vibe. Large windows let in natural light, making the entire place light with a soft warmth.

The air was filled with the comforting scent of freshly brewed coffee and baked pastries.

Seojin, who played Yura’s older sister in the drama, stood behind the counter, expertly preparing a cup of coffee. She took a few classes to be able to do it masterfully.

Seojin’s movements were fluid, as if she had done this a thousand times before. In the drama, the cafe was hers. It was a place she built from the ground up, so she really had to have some background about how it works.

Yura, on the other hand, was dressed in a casual yet neat outfit. She walked to the counter, tying her apron. She watched as Seojin poured steaming coffee into a ceramic cup, her eyes softening.

The cameras were already rolling.

"Is that a new recipe, Sister?" Yura’s voice sounded as she leaned on the counter. The cameras pictured her curiosity perfectly.

"Yeah. I’m just trying it." Seojin glanced at her with a small smile. "Where did you go, by the way? It’s already lunchtime. I was expecting you to help out here earlier."

"I bumped to Dongjun earlier. I wasn’t expecting to see him in the village, so we talked for a while." A knowing smile crossed Yura’s face.

Dongjun was Haejin’s character. It was her supposed to be childhood friend.

"Dongjun? The guy you were always with?" With her curiosity piqued, Seojin quickly stopped what she was doing. She wiped her hands and turned her body to the side.

"Don’t tell me you two are together already?" she asked in an intriguing tone.

"Sister! How can you say that!" Yura’s eyes widened. She jokingly slapped Seojin’s arms and said, "You know that I only consider him as a friend! And a brother on top of that."

Seojin laughed, placing the cup of coffee on the counter.

"Fine. Fine. If that’s what you say." She rolled her eyes.

"Anyway, try the coffee and tell me your opinion about it."

Yura picked up the cup and took a sip, her expression softening at the familiar taste.

"It’s good!" She muttered out loud, her eyes slightly widening.

"Really?" Seojin’s eyes squinted as she suspiciously look at Yura.

"Of course!"

From the side of the set, Minjae sat quietly, watching the two actresses as they performed. Even though he didn’t have any scenes for the first half of the day, he had decided to visit and observe, curious about how Yura and Seojin would bring their characters to life.

As the scene continued, he found himself getting drawn into their performance. They were new, but they could act well enough.

It seemed like they had trained enough.
