East Side

Tears rolled down the cheeks of the young woman who just stood at the foot of the airport. She just arrived, and she know she came a little bit later than she expected from the heavy traffic jam. She glance at her wristwatch....10:40am "No" she sob harder, trying to wipe her tears "Don't leave me" she said, almost whispering. Having the trouble to catch her breath from crying heavily. The two knees mindlessly fall on the ground. She was too weak to even lift her head up The liquid in her eyes continuously drops on the floor. She was hopeless. She was broken "comeback.... please" "And......CUT! Good take" the woman wipe her tears and stood up. Smiling from the thought of finally doing a great job after eleven takes. Sebastian Jeon, the young director seems to be appease now with the result more than earlier. As a perfectionist type, Sebastian never want to settle for less. He never would. "Reina, come here" he called on his agent. Even with the success, Sebastian didn't bother finding a whole crew for his projects. "One loyal agent is enough" as he always say "and besides, the entertainment companies are providing it anyway" "Tell the crews to pack up already and prepare for the next shoot...maybe on Friday and-" the 35 years old woman stop him midway on his sentence "Friday? It's Tuesday today and we'll be resuming the shoot on Friday? That's a lot of days to waste Mr. Jeon" she fix her glasses and scrunch her nose "Reina, we are close to the ending. We have a lot of time more than you think we don't, and I have a very important thing to do" he turn his back from the woman and walk towards the exit of the airport The agent followed him in its tiny little steps "How important is that THING?" she ask him, almost shouting as the director was already bit far away from her "You wanna know?" Sebastian stopped and look at her. The woman nod mindlessly "It's more important than talking to you...." he look around, watching the crews fixing their equipments "....and more important than making this movie" The young director now finally made it's way out on the exit. Hands on his pocket and a small smile on his lips, leaving the clueless agent on the setting Sebastian hop on his car. A Mercedes Benz Amg-gt that he got from the first successful movie he made. It was the juice of his hard work. The fruit of his success. The car wasn't the most convenient one for him, but it was his most favorite He reach for his phone and dial the first number listed on his contacts 1 ring....2 ring.....3- "Sebastian, what are you up to right now I'm in the middle of a meeting" a bunny smile form on the face of the young director, hearing the voice of his good friend "Lucas. You're right, I should have never give up" "Yes yes I know, you're now successful and stuffs like that and whatever bye I need to hang up now-" "No dude wait- I mean, the thing you told me last night. You said I should find her, and you guys know I've been looking for her the past years and still didn't succeed. But I haven't been completely honest with you guys, you see, there is one place in the country I haven't tried searching to" Sebastian excitedly said while buckling his seatbelt "I decided not to come at this place because I was afraid...I was afraid of failing again..." he stopped and stare blanklessly in front "Go on, I'm listening" his older friend encourages him to continue "Lucas, I'm going to the east side" "East side? You're going back to Busan?" The man on the other line seems to be attentive now "Yes" he started the engine "And I'm taking her back"
