Closer

Deal is Sealed

Ye Jin froze after Bin told her the good news. She was having mixed emotions,  half of her was happy but at the same time, she felt a little sad because this would mean that  her husband will be away from her and their baby. 

" Baby,  I don't know what to say, I mean, I never imagined myself to try Hollywood. I had a dream yes, but not at this time.  What do you think?  Should I confirm now?" 

He then noticed that Ye Jin's smile was a little different and he felt it right away. Her heart says something else.  He cupped her face and gave her a soft kiss. 

" Let's talk about this when we get  home alright?"  They then both said goodbye to Bin's parents and went home.

 " I will just wash up Aein babe, and let her take a nap , so we can talk ok?" 

Aein fell fast asleep after her warm bath. Ye Jin placed her in her cot in the master bedroom, took the baby monitor and  they both stayed in the rooftop. 

" Come , sit here baby."  He motioned her to sit on his lap, as always. " tell me your thoughts, I know there are so many things bothering you." 

" I am truly happy and proud of you,  and you know that,  and I want you to be part of that big project but you will be away for God knows how long, and I am not sure how to function." 

Bin held her tight and she leaned on the crook of  his neck. 

" I know  this will come, for once in our lives, that one day I may have a project that will  separate us physically, but this is only temporary, and I will always go home to my family, but if it's too hard I am going to say no Jagi. " 

" No, take it , please this is important for you, I know.  It will be hard, and I know things will be challenging, but let's work it out ok? Just promise me one thing, you will call me when you can and you will not get sick when you are away so I will not worry, please promise me that baby." 

" I promise and  I will make sure to check on you, even if it's late, even if you will just pick the phone and let me hear you breathe, while you sleep." 

" Oh I am getting emotional, you haven't even confirmed it. I will miss you terribly...." 

"  I know, so is it a yes? Can you reply to the email ?  " 

Ye Jin sent Bin's confirmation that he is  accepting the movie.  The days went by, Bin got  busy with his CFS and on their last week , he had a meeting with his staff at Vast. 

" Hi everyone, this won't take long . Since I already accepted the international film which will take place in the next 2 months, I won't be accepting any other offers. I want to devote my time to my family and as much as possible, I need you to make decisions on some of our projects here at Vast,   and KKT will be your main man.  I wish you all good health and thank you for the never ending support. I will see you in 2 months before I depart  with the rest of the crew for Los Angeles. " 

Bin drove home alone. He and his manager already had a good talk about his Hollywood movie and so many things struck his mind while he was in the busy streets of Seoul.  For the past 17 years, he dreamt of this but his life is so different now,  he has a baby,  and a wife. While the traffic was heavy, he decided to drop by at his friend's flower shop and bought a bunch of fresh flowers.

" Hello Bin-ssi,  it's been awhile,  what can I get you today?"  Says the flower shop owner Ji Hye. 

" Hi Ji Hye-ssi,  I wanted a flower basket, the prettiest one you can make. " 

" Hmm you are just in time,  I just finish one , look here, would this be perfect ?" 

" It is, can I get a card too? Let me  write the note myself, is that ok?"
