 Bin got very busy filming.  The first 2 weeks was in Las  Vegas, and mostly filmed in the evenings. Then they moved to Arizona for another 2 weeks and this was more hectic since he and Lee Byung Hun had action scenes, jumping from truck to another, and did some martial arts.  He was suppose to have one jumping scene, almost like a bunjee jump in the  Hoover dam, but he declined, since he ended in  a neck brace while filming the same stunt  5 years ago in Seoul and he didn't want to take the risk.

He missed Ye Jin and Aein so much, sometimes he cries  in his sleep.  He is just thankful that Ye Jin has been so patient, especially if their calls happen on the late hours of Korea. 

One morning he didn't get any message from Ye Jin, he rang her several times, but went straight to voicemail. He rang the Son family and it was the same.  His heart was pounding fast, good thing it was his rest day and so he decided to ring  his manager KKT and asked if he could contact Ye Jin. 

 " Yeeoboseyo Binssi, what's up? How are holding up? 1 more  week and your filming will done, plus 2 more weeks for the scenes in Seoul." 

"Hyung, I am good, hey I need a favor. I cannot contact Ye Jin, her family,  even Manbok,  did something happen in Jeju?" 

" Ah yeah, there was a major outage and  all the phones are down, the network had an upgrade.  Don't you have a landline  in the beach house?" 

" No I had it disconnected since we don't use it much, are you able to ring Kakao  thru the landline  and ask Gong Yoo if he can let Ye Jin come for an hour?" 

" Arasseo, will do, give me 30  minutes ok? "

 KKT rang their co partner, Kakao and spoke to the head  manager, Gong Yoo and asked if he can contact Ye Jin. Good thing their engineer was actually going to  her house to set up her monitors since she will  be starting her work from home,  which was 3 times a week. 

 The 30 minutes was extended to an hour since she had to take Aein with her and bring her baby bag and all.  The moment she arrived, Gong Yoo advised to  wait for the call in the meeting room so  she will have privacy with Bin. 

" Hello?  Baby?  Are you alright?" 

" Hi babe, yes , sorry,  I was not able to message you about the outage,  I really thought that it will only be down for an hour and now it's been 4 hours. They say it will be restored anytime now. "

" I was worried , I tried to contact all of you and I felt something  must have happened. It's my day off today,  and I have  lunch with Hyung Byung Hun  in 2 hours. He will take me around Arizona.  How's my baby Aein? Can you put  on speaker?" 

 Ye Jin pressed on the speaker and Bin could her her murmur and those cute coos. 

"Aigoo, I miss you my love. Appa  already bought so many shoes, and toys...and

" Ya!! Binssi, she has plenty already, your eomma  bought a lot too and my eonnie . Make sure you bought the bigger sizes so we won't have to buy until she is, what two?" 

" Hmm I bought bigger ones too, and we have matching ones as well you will see. 1 more week baby and I will be back.  Would you be ok to fly to Seoul alone with nanny Chon Hee? Kyung will pick you up, I will arrive in the evening on a Saturday night,  can't wait to see you. We have  a 2 week filming around  Seoul and it's not locked in so I am very grateful."

"Yes we will be fine. Do you think we should have our landline  reconnected?  For emergency  purposes such as this one,  you know." 

" Yes I was going to say, good thing you brought it up.  I am glad I was able to hear from you, you be safe ok? I love  you both Eomma and Aein, 6 more days.  Oh are you able to turn off the speaker, I just want to thank Gong Yoo."
