Legendary Superstar-Chapter 86 : Last Day (2)

After filming his last shoot with Yura, it was now time for Minjae's last scene alone. They patiently waited for this hour. The camera crew adjusted the cameras, and the lighting was toned down to match the golden hour.

When everything was done, Director Hwang signaled for everyone to shut their mouths.

The last shooting was done outside. Minjae was standing by the seaside with the gentle waves creating a calming background sound to the scene. His character was supposed to take one last look at the ocean before leaving.

This scene symbolizes both a goodbye and a new beginning.

His emotions should be quite sad, as in the script, it was after he said goodbye to Yura.

"Alright, Minjae. Just take your time. Let the emotions come naturally," Director Hwang instructed against the microphone so he could be heard even from a distance.

Minjae nodded. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply. He channeled the emotions that he wanted to portray by thinking of a few sad thoughts.

When he could feel his mood turning blue, he gave a thumbs up to show to the cameras that he was ready.

Then,

"Scene 598. Take 1. Action!"

Minjae inhaled deeply as he heard the word. As he stared mindlessly at the sea in front of him, he closed his eyes. He was silent for a moment, only feeling the cool sea breeze as it swept away his hair.

When Minjae opened his eyes, his gaze was already soft, and his shoulders were relaxed.

For a brief moment, he let himself get fully lost in his character and the cameras perfectly captured how his every emotion changed.

Then, a small smile touched Minjae's lips.

It was bittersweet with a lace of nostalgia.

Minjae reached into his pocket, pulling out a small seashell. The seashell was amiliar.

It was the same seashell Yura had given him, the one she had playfully asked him to listen to, claiming he would hear the whispers of the ocean.

He had kept it a secret. He slipped it into his pocket that day without saying a word.

Now, as he turned it over in his fingers, a bigger smile stretched out on his lips.

It was just a simple seashell, but somehow, he found himself unwilling to part with it.

Minjae held it between his fingers and studied it for a moment before setting it down on a nearby rock, letting it go back to its original place — the sand.

"I guess this is it." he muttered in a soft and determined voice. He took a deep breath and smile at the ocean.

"It's been weeks now…" his voice lightly trailed off. "I guess it's the time."

The cameras zoomed in closer to Minjae's face. It stayed there for a moment as a renewed look of hope appeared across Minjae's face.

"I'm finally going back."

Then, as Minjae turned around and walked away.

"Cut!"

There was a brief pause before Director Hwang continued.

"That's a wrap, everyone!"

"Woah!"

"That was a good take!"

"We got it in 1 shot!"

"Wooooh!"

A round of applause and cheers erupted from the cast and crew. Some high-fived each other, others let out sighs of relief.

There was a mixture of emotions.

"You nailed it, Minjae." Yura ran up to Minjae with a grin after the scene.

"That was good, hyung!"

"Nice one, Minjae."

"Nice one, Oppa."

Everyone was watching Minjae, even his fellow actors as it was the very last scene for today.

"You too, guys" Minjae said, smiling back at them.

"All of us did well."

As the scene concluded, the production team also began packing up the shooting equipment.

There was an air of satisfaction among everyone.

All of them were happy and relieved.

After days of hard work, they finally wrapped up their filming in Jeju.

It was an overall success on their part.

They still had more scenes to film for the drama, but at least, they were finally heading back to the city.

The staff members with families were especially happy about it. They were looking forward to returning home to their loved ones.

"Nice work everyone!"

"Thank you!"

"We're finally done!"

"Nice work!"

The cast and staff said out loud enthusiastically.

Minjae, who was standing near the water's edge, looked out at the sea one last time. The sound of gentle waves crashing against the shore was relaxing, as if it was soothing his ears and body.

"Minjae! Come here!" Yura's voice called out.

Minjae turned to see Yura waving at him, Jihoon and Seojin, and some other actors already gathered for a group photo.

As the staff packed away, the cast members took some pictures together, not letting the opportunity slip away.

"Alright, alright, I'm coming." With a small chuckle, he walked over to them.

The group posed with wide smiles, some making peace signs, others laughing mid-shot. They also playfully threw their arms around each other, capturing the closeness they had during their time in Jeju.

Laughter and chatter filled the night as the cast and crew took turns snapping photos for each other.

The camera clicked multiple times, capturing their happiness. After a few more minutes, the staff started calling for everyone to gather their things so they could leave the area.

However, just as they were about to leave, one of the production assistants ran towards them, slightly out of breath.

"Everyone, wait! Don't head back yet!"

The cast and crew turned towards the production assistant, curiously lacing their eyes.

"The village elders prepared something for us!" the production assistant happily shared.

Surprise flickered across their faces.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Director Hwang asked.

"They made dinner for all of us," the assistant said excitedly. "They said it's their way of thanking us before we leave."

A warm silence fell over the group before they let out an amazed laugh.

"They really did that for us?"

"That's so kind of them."

"Wow… I'm already touched."

"Woah! We're getting food!"

Moved by the gesture, the cast and crew quickly followed the assistant back towards the village.

And when they arrived, they gasped in surprise.

Rows of wooden tables were set up under the soft glow of the stars in the night sky. Steam rose from large platters of freshly cooked seafood, grilled meat, and traditional Jeju side dishes, filling the air with a delicious aroma.

It was a full dinner feast, prepared lovingly by the locals, especially the elderly people.

Everyone in the village had contributed in some way. They really worked together to create a meal filled with warmth and gratitude for their village's visitors.
