Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 28 Don’t fall in love with me, your brother.

Lee Ji-eun burst into tears after seeing the message sent by Ki Yo-gu, not because she had any special relationship with Ki Yo-gu.

It was simply because Lee Ji-eun felt so lonely after leaving her grandmother and going to Seoul alone to pursue her dream of becoming a singer.

She was so lonely that no matter what happened, she had to bear it alone.

When facing her family, Lee Ji-eun, like most people, always reports good news but never bad news. But how can life be happy every day without any worries or sadness?

She needs a friend, someone she can talk to.

But that person was not her classmate or childhood friend, because Lee Ji-eun was worried that these friends would tell her parents and family about her sad and painful experiences.

The appearance of Qi Yaojiu is an exception.

Before this, Lee Ji-eun and Ki Yo-gu did not know each other, and obviously Ki Yo-gu did not know his own parents and family.

Although they had only met twice, when they met for the second time while eating udon together, Lee Ji-eun had already started sharing some of her own things with Ki Yo-gu, including some things she encountered during her trainee period and things in her life.

It's amazing, but it really happened.

She stopped sobbing, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and cheeks, looked at the text message dialog box, and started typing on the keyboard.

Just across the street.

In the semi-basement dormitory, Qi Yaojiu had just woken up.

The windows were always dark because they were covered with tinfoil, so Qi Yaojiu didn't know what time it was.

I think maybe four or five hours passed, and I slept very soundly, feeling much more refreshed.

Ding

The cell phone beeps.

Without turning on the light, he reached out and fumbled under the pillow to find his cell phone.

Rubbing his eyes, Qi Yaojiu, who was half-sitting on the head of the bed, opened the flip phone.

The message from IU was displayed. After Qi Yao opened it at 9 o'clock, he saw the sentence sent by IU: "PDnim is not avoiding me on purpose."

After being stunned for a moment, Qi Yaojiu's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Da da da"

Type to send a message.

Less than a minute later, I received a reply from Li Zhien: "Yes, I have finished work and will rest tomorrow."

Emphasizing the need to rest tomorrow, this girl...

Qi Yaojiu continued editing the message: "Have you eaten yet?"

Lee Ji-eun: "No, where's PDnim?"

Qi Yaojiu: "Just woke up."

IU: "Then I'll treat PDnim to a meal. After all, I have to receive gifts."

Qi Yaojiu: "See you at the crossroads. I'm leaving now."

About five minutes later, Qi Yaojiu, standing under the streetlight at the intersection, saw a petite figure emerging from the left and slowly approaching.

Some surprises.

After the two met, Qi Yaojiu looked at Li Zhien.

Li Zhien lifted her hair with both hands and lowered her head slightly.

After a few seconds of silence, Qi Yaojiu's voice reached Li Zhien's ears: "She is pretty, but not suitable for you."

Looking up, Lee Ji-eun looked at Ki Yo-jiu, who was a head taller than her.

There was no moonlight, and the faint street lights reflected the outline of Qi Yaojiu's profile.

Li Zhien moved her lips and said, "PDnim is also handsome, but the beard doesn't suit you."

Qi Yaojiu raised his hand and touched his chin.

I stayed at the broadcasting station for 7 days without taking care of anything, and I actually grew a lot of beard.

Qi Yaojiu said slowly: "Is it okay for you to come out like this?"

Li Zhien said "hmm" softly.

Qi Yaojiu noticed something and said with a smile: "After all, you are an artist now. Scandals are very scary for an artist."

“No one knows me”

"Whoever said that, I knew you were a singer, a future star singer."

"The future? That's too far away."

This emotion...

Ki Yo-gu waved the paper shopping bag in his hand and said, "Jie-eun, look at this."

Lee Ji-eun stopped and didn't look at Ji Yoo-gu's shaking shopping bags but looked up at Ji Yoo-gu.

Those eyes were bright, but in Qi Yaojiu's eyes there seemed to be tears flashing.

Li Zhien murmured and asked: "What did PDnim call me?"

Qi Yaojiu shrugged: "Jie Eun, aren't we friends? I was born in 86 and you were born in 93. I am seven years older than you. You were only in elementary school when I was in college. Is it okay for me to call you by your name without using honorifics?" Li Zhien muttered: "Jie Eun?"

Ki Yo-jiu cleared his throat and continued, "It's okay to call you IU. I just don't want to use the troublesome honorifics. You don't have to call me PDnim anymore. Just call me Ki Yo-jiu. No, you can't just call me by my name. You should at least call me Oppa."

Li Zhien muttered softly: "Oppa?"

Qi Yaojiu picked up the shopping bag and waved it in front of Li Zhien: "I brought gifts, you can look forward to it."

"Oppa"

“Oh, hahahaha”

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, it's just that it's the first time I hear someone call me Oppa and I'm not used to it. But Oppa is a really nice name."

"the first time?"

"Um"

"Tsk, you lied to me again."

"real"

"Has no one ever called you Oppa before?"

“Anyway, this is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

"What do you mean?"

"Let's not talk about this. Should I call you Jieun or IU?"

"Just call her Ji Eun. IU isn't a name for friends anymore."

"it is good"

"Is it the same with Oppa and the others?"

"what?"

"that is……"

They walked and talked, not sure where their destination was, and as they walked, they came to the tent carriage.

Pausing, Qi Yaojiu said slowly: "Udon noodles?"

Li Zhien shook her head: "Let's eat something delicious today. My agent Oppa gave me 2 yuan in pocket money."

After looking around, Li Zhien pointed to the barbecue restaurant diagonally opposite and said, "Let's go eat pork belly."

Qi Yaojiu nodded, took a step and walked towards the sidewalk in front.

Li Zhien followed closely behind and said, "How much does Oppa usually eat?"

Qi Yaojiu said deliberately: "Oppa, I'm in the growth stage, so I should eat at least six servings of pork belly."

Behind her, Lee Ji-eun searched her whole body but still only had the 2 yuan pocket money given by her agent. This 2 yuan was only enough to buy two servings of pork belly. The money was not enough.

Qi Yaojiu, who was walking in front, stopped and looked back at Li Zhien: "Let's go."

Li Zhien said cautiously: "Oppa, actually I want to eat udon noodles."

Qi Yaojiu smiled and said, "What should I do? I want to eat pork belly."

"But……"

"Come on, I'll treat you to celebrate my friend's official debut today."

Li Zhien didn't act pretentiously. She finally smiled and caught up with Qi Yaojiu while saying, "I really want to eat udon noodles, and I really want to treat you. It was Oppa who insisted on treating me to pork belly."

"Well, I insisted on treating you."

"I'm growing, so I might eat more."

"Eat as much as you want. I don't believe it will bankrupt me."

"Is it the same with Oppa and the others?"

"What do you mean?"

"Does it mean that you will take the initiative to treat others to delicious food?"

Qi Yaojiu said: "I am very stingy"

Li Zhien asked hurriedly: "Then why are you so nice to me?"

There was a brief silence. At the zebra crossing, Qi Yaojiu looked at the barbecue restaurant across the street and said, "You're already a debut singer. You should focus on your acting career. Don't think about anything else, and don't yearn for love. You can only find true love after you succeed. Remember that."

"what?"

Turning sideways, Qi Yaojiu looked into Li Zhien's innocent eyes: "Don't like anyone, cherish yourself, and remember your original intention."

"what"

Green light for passage.

Qi Yaojiu took a step forward and added, "You are so stupid. What I meant is that you should stop liking me, your brother. Let's go quickly. I'm hungry."

Lee Ji-eun quickly followed up and responded with a barrage of words: "Is Oppa a narcissist? How could he say such a thing? Besides, I know what I should do now. I'm not a child who only knows how to have random thoughts all day long."
