Episode 3.4 - Distance Is Best

This was it.

Jorah looked around the location. The sun was already up and people were bustling about.

Since it was the first official day of shooting, set up had begun at 3 am for the crew while the cast had a call time of 6 a.m.

Stifling a yawn, Jorah looked at his watch before taking another sip of his coffee, 7.30.

As he walked to the trailers, a few people glanced at him tentatively but as expected,no one addressed him directly.

Still, inspite of his late arrival he could tell that spirits were high. This was no doubt in part due to the buzz that the series had been generating.

Within the week of their poster shoot, a few photos got leaked and rapidly made their way around the internet.Understandably,at the time, the production company was upset since official shooting hadn't begun yet.

Still, it had provided an unexpected result and opportunity.Within hours of the leak, the series was trending on all platforms.

There had already been an air of excitement and anticipation surrounding the series before, however, seeing the photos for the first time, the fans had gone insane.

It seemed those photos had even managed to soothe the skeptics about the casting choices somewhat.

Jorah clicked his tongue as he mused on his. All it had taken were a few tantalizing photos to shut them up.

Being on set was much different from the workshops. In addition to the cast, all the crew was on deck, along with a few others, such as sponsors and caterers. Cameras were constantly rolling, both officially and unofficially to document production.

Arriving at the trailer, though he hated to admit it,Jorah was nervous. He still hadn't mastered the emotional scenes which were crucial parts of the character.

"Mr. Jindaya. You made it." Manager Kim glared at Jorah when he entered the trailer. Nine was still getting his makeup done.

"Just in time too." Jorah replied with a sweet smile.

"Right." Kim turned his attention back to Nine who was listening intently to whatever he was yammering about.

Jorah shook his head as he sat in the chair and pulled out his script.

Based on the schedule, he expected it to be a rough day with a total of 5 major scenes.

"I wonder if a guy like him can handle the action." Jorah smirked as he looked at Nine. He tried to imagine Nine doing any kind of stunt. "He probably can't." he chortled, "He'd probably break a nail."

Today would be the day he would show them. Even if he wasn't great at the emotional scenes, he could still do this much.

Being behind schedule, the stylists worked quickly to get Jorah ready. Nine and his manager had already disappeared.

After being rushed out of wardrobe, Jorah made his way to the track where they would be shooting the day's scenes.

Everything was already set up and ready to go. Cameras. Extras. They only needed one thing to officially get going---him.

Jorah felt an odd sense of pride being the one to hold the production up. He was glad that even if they wanted to, they couldn't get going without him. He was basking in this fact when he heard the roar of a motorcycle.

He turned to look. A red Ducati was fast approaching.

The rider leaned artfully on the bend before straightening again, only barely losing speed.
