Peninsula: Don’t just fall in love on Fridays

Chapter 79 This Cookie Doesn’t Seem Simple

Back in the waiting room, Jiang Zhaohuan packed his things.

Hearing the noise coming from the door, he invited the other party to come in before they even knocked.

Unexpectedly, the person who came in was not Bae Joo-hyun, but her juniors from the same company - Sana Minatozaki and Chou Tzu-yu.

He turned around and saw the two inseparable people. He would occasionally make a joke to people he was more familiar with:
"It seems that the shark mentioned on the Internet is real?"

"Mo? What shark? Where?"

Sana Minatozaki blinked twice in confusion. She looked around but didn't see any shark.

Zhou Ziyu, who was forcibly pulled over by her own sister, naturally understood the meaning of "shark".

When she searches for her own name on the Internet, Sana unnie's name often appears behind it.

Out of curiosity, she even took a peek at the Shark CP fan fiction, which made her blush.

There were even a few days when she deliberately avoided Sana in front of the camera.

Zhou Ziyu is somewhat worried that this sister who loves physical contact and bobo very much may have some preferences that she does not have.

So after hearing Jiang Zhaohuan's teasing, Zhou Ziyu pursed her lips shyly and reached out to hit the other's arm.

She said with some dissatisfaction:
"No, Sana-unnie forced me to come here."

"Mo? So what is a shark?"

Minatozaki Sana felt like a fool at the moment and didn't understand what the two were saying at all.

She was a little puzzled but didn't dare to express it, so she had to keep asking.

In order to satisfy Sana's curiosity, Zhou Ziyu had to use halting Korean to try to describe the meaning of "shark".

After hearing that it was Sana and Tzuyu, someone showed an expression of sudden realization.

Minatozaki Sana, who realized it later, was worried that Kang Cho-hwan really believed the content on the Internet.

In order to appear not to be in a hurry, she deliberately showed a smirk and attacked back:

"Oh~ Doesn't it mean that Do Hwan always looks at these things on the Internet?

Hehe, I didn't expect you to have such a little habit. Would you be happy if I hugged Tzuyu now?"

"what?"

Jiang Zhaohuan's brain went offline for a few seconds before he waved his hand and denied it.
"No, I was just joking, don't take it seriously."

Minatozaki Sana didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she took a step forward to close the distance between them.

The way he looks upwards and arches his eyebrows is like a little fox with milk fat:

"Oh? Then how did Zhao Huanni know that? Did you secretly search for my name?"

Jiang Zhaohuan never expected that Minatozaki Sana would do this, and he looked away awkwardly.

It's because her stage costume has a big neckline. It would be impolite to keep your eyes on the other person at this distance.

He coughed twice and tried to use his brain to find a suitable explanation before he spoke:

"Ani, I saw it on Instagram. It must have been posted by one of your fans."

Minatozaki Sana finally couldn't hold back her laughter. She reached out and hit Jiang Zhaohuan's arm, and said with a smile:

"I was just kidding. Are you too nervous? Or are you feeling guilty?"

"…Just spare me, Sana."

Jiang Zhaohuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, wondering why he had thought she was a Shiba Inu before.

This is clearly a fox with a lot of bad ideas in his mind.

Zhou Ziyu, who was standing aside, acted as a frontline spectator. She recalled what she heard that night at MAMA.

She has been observing secretly recently and finally discovered Sana's little secret.

She had been a little unsure before.

Now from Ouni’s expression, behavior and words.

It is not difficult to see that unnie's attitude towards Do Hwan oppa is special, completely different from other male seniors.

Do you like it?

I think so. As a solo artist since birth, she said she doesn’t quite understand such things.

But many things can be seen by the outsiders.

At least now Tzuyu can be confident that Sana has a good impression of Do Hwan Oppa.

Even in this ambiguous relationship, Ouni is the one who takes the initiative.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ziyu rolled her bright big eyes.

She reached out and poked Minatozaki Sana's waist and asked:
"Unnie, you're not here to make a joke, are you?"

"Of course not~"

Minatozaki Sana took out something she had just taken out of the waiting room from her pocket, handed it to Jiang Zhaohuan, and said generously,

"This is a Christmas present for you, take it!"

Jiang Zhaohuan didn't expect that he would receive a Christmas gift from Minatozaki Sana.

He took the gift awkwardly, thinking that he had forgotten about his junior sisters' group when he went to Neon. Jiang Zhaohuan was somewhat glad that he had given the souvenirs away yesterday, otherwise... it would be a bit bad.

"Sorry, Sana, I've been a bit busy lately and forgot to prepare Christmas presents for you. I'll ask my agent to send them to you some other day."

Jiang Zhaohuan was really feeling guilty now. Not being good at lying, he could only lower his head and look at the small gift box in his hand.

He didn't dare to make any eye contact with Minatozaki Sana.

Otherwise, he was worried that the lie would be exposed on the spot.

Sana Minatozaki, who often pays attention to Kang Do-hwan's schedule, naturally knows that he is very busy.

She smiled and shook her head, even though she felt a little disappointed she didn't show it:

"No need to apologize, just remember to give it to me and the members~ Of course, I want the best for me, since Tzuyu and the others didn't give you any Christmas presents."

"Yes, I understand." Jiang Zhaohuan smiled and responded.

Zhou Ziyu didn't expect that embarrassment could happen in turns.

She looked away, indicating that she shouldn't be here.

You didn’t send any gifts, but you may receive gifts in the future.

Hmm...it seems I have to prepare a Christmas gift for Do Hwan oppa too.

After hearing this, Minatozaki Sana's mood quickly improved. She took Tzuyu's hand and walked out:

"Then Dohwan, we're leaving first. We'll be participating in the SBS Gayo Daejeon the day after tomorrow, remember to watch the live broadcast!"

"Yes, I will definitely watch it. Come on."

Jiang Zhaohuan watched the two people leave before he breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat on the sofa and opened the Christmas gift that Sana Minatozaki had prepared for him.

After opening it, I found that it contained a bag of handmade chocolate chip cookies with a greeting card next to it.

[Chaohuan senior, Chaohuanxi, Chaohuan~ In less than a year, we have become much closer, and I hope we can continue to be like this in the future. ()
Merry Christmas! This is my first attempt at making cookies. Enjoy them! （`）】

It really fits Minatozaki Sana's style very well. Cute emoticons are standard for Sakura girls.

Jiang Zhaohuan smiled as he opened the cookie packaging, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. His smile gradually disappeared while he was chewing.

This taste... doesn't seem to be as simple as chocolate.

He struggled to taste the deliciousness of the cookies.

But no matter how long you chew, you can only smell the burnt taste.

You can even feel the uncooked butter dough inside the cookie.

Jiang Zhaohuan was worried that he would have to go to the hospital if he ate it, so he had to put the remaining part away carefully.

He packed his things and got in the minivan back to his apartment.

It was only after I took a shower that I noticed there were three unread messages on my phone, all from KakaoTalk.

[Lucheng's No. 1 Yasuo (Gao Zixiang)]: You probably don't have any plans for the next few days, right? How about meeting up after such a long time?
It was true that Jiang Zhaohuan had not seen Gao Zixiang for some time.

As the first friend he made after coming to the peninsula, he must cherish him.

Without thinking, I replied directly.

[Spider-Man (Kang Do-hwan)]: It's not convenient to go out, how about coming to my house? I'll send you the address, you can buy something and come over, I'll reimburse you.

【Seol Hyun_Snow】：Merry Christmas, Dohwan, your stage performance was so cool!
The second message was sent by Kim Seolhyun. Kang Do-hwan didn't expect that Kim Seolhyun would send him a Christmas greeting.

He thought about the words of blessing for a moment and replied immediately.

When Jiang Zhaohuan saw the third message, the content reminded him of the burnt taste in his mouth again.

[Grapefruit Soda (Minatozaki Sana)]: How was it? Did you eat the cookies? Were they delicious?
If Gao Zixiang asked himself this question, he would definitely answer truthfully that it didn't taste good and was completely charred.

But the other person is a girl, so we have to give her some face.

And she also said it was her first time baking.

Jiang Zhaohuan thought about it and decided that he couldn't be the one to dampen the other person's desire to cook.

So I had to stuff the remaining two cookies into my mouth, take a photo to prove I had finished eating, and then tapped the screen of my phone against my will.

[Spider-Man (Kang Do-hwan)]: It tastes good. Thanks for the gift. [Picture]
After he finished replying, he unexpectedly received several more Christmas greetings on his phone, all from people in his circle who had previously added his KakaoTalk account.

For example, Seo In Guk, Jang Nara, Oh Sehun and the like.

Jiang Zhaohuan replied attentively while glancing at the time.

It seems that most people like to send greetings near the end of Christmas.

After replying to all the messages, Jiang Zhaohuan sent a message to his father.

[Kang Do Hwan]: Dad, happy Christmas. Remember to eat well, get more rest and take care of your health.

Song Shi Hyuk, who was on a business trip in Paris, curled his lips after seeing the message.

It’s really good to have a son whom I don’t need to worry about and who is very considerate of me.

[Song Si Hyuk]: You too, as long as you are healthy.
