The Crest of Waves [Korean Adaptation]

Middle 18

The moment Ye Jin agreed with Bin's dating 'proposal' he couldn't stop himself from smiling at her. He must admit that he was finally free from hesitations and that he did the right thing of braving up and telling her his feelings. He couldn't hide his happiness that despite the uncertainties in the future: the commitments they have in their own careers and being A-listers; having the public eye focused on them, he felt like he would be able to conquer those for as long as he's with her.

He doesn't know if it was love already, but Bin is sure that he would freely let himself fall hard for her.

Ye Jin, on the other hand still couldn't believe Bin confessed to her and that they're going to start dating soon. She did feel worried at first, she knows how the industry works but at the same time, Ye Jin told herself that it shouldn't stop her from finding happiness--and what if Bin is the one she's been looking for? Why would she care about what they'd say? Why should they hold the responsibility for her life? She knows that she's worked so hard and gave her A+ game in her craft. Maybe it's time for her to finally think about her own happiness.

They spent the next 2 weeks of hanging out at Seong Heon's bar which they found as a "sanctuary" because his friend got them a private place where they can drink, dine and talk. Seong Heon made sure it was secured & safe, and he also made them special perks by having their own chef and make requests.

Apart from hanging out and dining, Hyun Bin tried his best to always pick her up after finalizing Pretty Noona, of course he went under the radar, even if he thinks Hae In has a crush on Ye Jin and he wanted to show him he was with her. But he knew he couldn't compromise their privacy. The important thing is he's the one who gets to hang out with her after work; Bin brings dinner with him when he picks her up and they share it at her place while catching up & enjoying each other's company.

When they finished the re-shoot of The Negotiation, Bin was offered to star in a scifi-romance Drama, Memories of Alhambra; they had their first script reading and he's set to fly to Europe by the end of May until August just in time for the promotion with Ye Jin.

The moment he received the script and the filming locations were announced, he immediately called Ye Jin and informed her about it. It wasn't that much of a big deal for her since they were still in the early phases of dating and she completely understood the demands of work being a veteran actress herself;

"Can we have a little roadtrip this weekend at least before I go?" His voice was sad and she could instantly feel it even if he was on the other line,

"Hey, but I invited you in the wrap up party of SITR, aren't you going?" She asked,

"Of course I will. I can't miss that, first time of showing my support for you as your.." He paused, he wanted it to come from her, whatever it is that she wants to label them--

"Special friend." He wasn't disappointed, being Son Ye Jin's "special" friend is a luxury. That actually made him smile,

"Arasso. But yejinssi, can we still go out on weekend? Just the two of us?"

"That'd be lovely, I don't have anything scheduled this weekend." Of course, she wants to hang out with him too, she still doesn't know how exactly she would feel once he's away~

"Okay great!!" She felt his excitement right away.

"You sound so excited"

"I mean I'm sad that I have to leave and we just spent few weeks of being~special friends then I would learn that I have to be away for filming so I just..want to make the most out of the time to be with you."
