Daydreams

Daydreams
A. SEOUL: 5TH - TOKYO


Umji sees her suitcase being pulled by Mino starting from the same apartment door to the elevator as it is now. Just after sunrise two hours ago, she suddenly gets a call from Mino that the man will pick her up for the airport together.


Both? No. gabe. Umji while in the parking lot saw a man get off Mino's car.


"It's my friend Kim Danso" Mino said, introducing a man named Danso to Umji.


Danso extended his hand. "I will be your translator and arguably introduce interesting places in Japan."


Umji received a smiley hand with a smile. "Lee Umji's. Please help."


Mino drives and Danso sits next to him. Umji was sitting in the back.


Umji stared at the city of Seoul from behind the car window. For some reason every time I see this city, there is always a foreign feeling in him. It's like he hasn't stayed here long.


"The departure of the film production is different from ours. But we will meet when we arrive at the hotel later" Mino explained when the three of them had been on the plane.


Umji who was by the window only nodded briefly. Mino who was sitting on the side started to turn off her phone. Then Danso who is at the end or side of Mino has prepared to sleep.


Airing makes Umji does not mean floating in a dream. He still opens his eyes. A trip that does not require a long time will only make the head hurt if you fall asleep for a while. That's how he thought.


Meanwhile, Mino chose to read a novel while wearing reading glasses. He then realized that the woman beside him was just daydreaming.


"How about the script I recommended first?" tanya Mino put her glasses back into place.


"Oh that's Jini taking it. He's part of the selection, should be more understanding," Umji replied, turning to look at Mino.


Mino was silent for a moment. "When I expect you to review it first."


"To be honest I have a lot of scripts to finish. Not to mention the busy journey as it is now."


"Alright, I don't want to burden you. It's just that I really like the script."


Umji turned his gaze away as soon as he saw Mino close her eyes. He felt that the man beside him was a little disappointed by his decision to give Jini his recommendation script. He is sometimes confused why Mino sounds so obsessed with the script that has a main character named Song Byul.


Tokyo is the same as Seoul, when it comes to crowds. Umji was a little happy to visit the sakura country. His mind could not, not thinking about Akira Jun who also left for Japan today.


Danso leads Mino and Umji to the hotel whose address is shown by Mino. A hotel located in central Tokyo.


The three of them put the luggage inside their respective rooms. Then decided to get out. Fill your stomach and take a walk around the hotel.


"What do you want to eat?" tanya Danso looked at Mino and Umji alternately.


"The wind is blowing quite hard because autumn, I think something warm will be good" Mino said.


Umji just nodded in agreement. This time he wanted to try everything he had never done. Including choosing a new type of food. I don't know why he realized that freedom was so much fun. Speaking of that, why freedom? Was he trapped all this time?


Danso takes Mino and Umji to one of the ramen restaurants. Restaurant buildings are not too big and before entering they must get a ticket of some kind according to the type of food chosen. The trick is to put money into a machine.


Umji's tongue is not too foreign to ramen. He often goes to Japanese restaurants in Seoul. However, it is certainly different if you eat in your home country.


Age of eating lunch. The three of them decided to take a walk. Roads around Tokyo are more crowded by pedestrians.


Umji even sometimes feel amazed by the Japanese style of dress, especially teenagers who can be eccentric. He smiled at Tokyo with everything he had just seen. While Mino and Danso are busy entering comic characters, he chooses to stay out of the street.


Umji pulled out a piece of paper that read Akira's number. Gathering his courage, he sent a message to the man.


Without taking a long time Umji's reply came.


Did ya? Send me your hotel address. I want to take you around to the interesting places in Tokyo. - Akira.


Umji could not hide his happy smile reading Akira's invitation.


All right, I'll ask you tomorrow, if there's any free time. Because after all this is a business trip. - Umji.


"Umji," exclaimed Mino, making Umji put the phone in the pocket of the jacket he was wearing.


Umji. "What's wrong?"


"You see that?" mino pointed to one of the famous towers in Tokyo.


"It must be nice to see Tokyo from above," replies Umji smilingly imagining it.


"You're going there tomorrow?"


"Are we not busy tomorrow?" ask Umji back.


"Hm, tomorrow the production will review the location. Our job starts the day after tomorrow, meeting with the author of the novel."


Umji's smile grew wider knowing that tomorrow he had no work to do.


"I'm sorry. There are friends who invite me to come out tomorrow," Umji said, rejecting Mino's subtle invitation.


Mino frowned confused as well as surprised. How could Umji who has just been to Japan already have an acquaintance even a friend?


"Oh that, he is a Japanese person I know in Korea," Umji explained after seeing Mino's facial features.


"really? All right, we can take a walk after the work is done," said Mino.


When Umji arrived at the hotel room, he could not see that his whole body was tired and sick. He decided to take a shower first. Since his room was on the tenth floor, he could stare at Tokyo in the dark as it is now.


Shopping lights and vehicles blanket Tokyo at night. Umji took a chair and sat in front of the window. He opened his social media. View photos in his Instagram profile. But somehow some photos feel foreign to him.


One of them is a photo where he was sitting in a cafe while enjoying coffee and sweet cakes. Umji felt like he could not remember when and where it happened. He then recalled that Jini said that he was only in a coma one year ago woke up and was in a coma again, whereas in his memory it was two years without ever waking up.


All the questions in his head confused him. He got out of the chair and went to bed. But not directly sleeping. He looked up in a lying position. But his mind was distracted by the sound of incoming messages.


This script is really good. It is not wrong Mino chose it. - Jini.


A photi sent by Jini. The script was given by Umji the other day to be selected by Jini.


What's the interesting part? - Umji.


This book is not just an ordinary romance. There is an element of fantasy! - Jini.


Song Byul teleports into the body of a woman.


Umji's finger stopped typing a reply to a message for Jini as soon as it read the incoming message. The word teleportation made his breathing heavy.
