Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 534 I'm going to get moving!

Sunlight streamed in through the curtains, creeping upwards and illuminating the faces of the two people nestled together on the bed.

Strong sunlight streamed in, and Quan Xuanhe's eyes flickered before he slowly opened them.

His dark hair, faintly scented, was disheveled and subtly brushed against his face, seemingly a constant reminder that someone was beside him.

Quan Xuanhe stared at the ceiling for a couple of seconds, then turned his head slightly to look at the person beside him.

Han Ji-min's sleeping face was quietly displayed in his arms. Her serene expression suggested that she had a good and pleasant dream last night.

He glanced at the time and, realizing it was getting late, pulled his arm away to block the sunlight streaming in through the curtains. He sat up, stretched his slightly sore arm, and his mind gradually cleared, beginning to reflect on and think about what had happened the night before.

He was a little surprised by Han Ji-min's initiative and enthusiasm. He didn't expect her to knock on the door and come in without saying a word, and start playing PUBG.

Even after he politely reminded him, he received an even more unexpected answer.

What do you mean by saying that you've already spoken to Han Hyo-joo?

Would Han Hyo-joo really allow something like this to happen?
Han Ji-min actually brought up this kind of thing with her?

He was executed on the spot.

Quan Xuanhe thought it over and over, feeling that the process last night was a bit muddled, making him seem passive in every way, as if his role had been reversed.

The process was naturally wonderful, and Kwon Hyun-hyuk didn't dwell on it too much. He just felt that the process was somewhat unexpected, since Han Ji-min had a stronger "older sister" vibe in his mind than Han Hyo-joo.

He stood up, ready to draw back the curtains, but then stopped, remembering that Han Ji-min was still fast asleep. Instead, he tiptoed up, got dressed, and washed up.

The soft noises coming from the doorway of the washroom woke Han Zhimin from her sleep. She slowly opened her beautiful eyes, her gaze somewhat unfocused. But as her senses returned and she realized her situation, she quickly came to her senses.

Han Ji-min sat up, her long, black hair falling loose.

She turned her head to look at the commotion coming from the bathroom, then threw off the covers and got out of bed barefoot.

Quan Xuanhe was washing his face when he suddenly felt a warm, soft touch against him.

When did you wake up?

He heard Han Ji-min's gentle voice in his ear, and he looked up and turned to look at Han Ji-min. "Five minutes earlier than you."

She is unadorned, simple, elegant, and gentle.

Why didn't you wake me up?

Han Ji-min's smile deepened, her eyes crinkling into crescents.

This younger brother is quite considerate.

"I was afraid of waking up Nuna from her rest."

Quan Xuanhe told the truth.

"That's so nice...you really know how to care for people."

Han Ji-min's soft hands traced the lines of his muscles, and she felt and experienced them carefully. The lingering feelings from last night seemed to rise in her heart with her movements.

No wonder Han Hyo-joo values ​​him so much, no wonder she still can't bear to part with him.

After experiencing it firsthand, she finally understood.

If it were her, she wouldn't give up so easily either.

"Nuna, I'll be done washing right away."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk saw Han Ji-min staring at him absentmindedly in the mirror, seemingly lost in thought, so he politely reminded him.

The main problem is that it feels strange to have one's fate controlled by the throat.

"Ok."

Han Ji-min chuckled softly, slowly withdrew his hand, and casually grabbed a handful of his muscles. "I'm going back to wash up. See you later."

When a woman reaches the age she desires, she truly cherishes it.

Quan Xuanhe tugged at his pants, adjusted the trajectory of his bullet, quickly finished washing up, and only then did he have the mind to look at the message Liu Zhimin had sent him last night.

[Have you seen the stage plans, oppa? Do you have any ideas?]

Because of the MAMA collaboration stage, the four members of aespa, along with the head of the stage design team and a few others, created a group chat.

Yesterday, the stage design proposal and the team's route planning and rehearsal videos were released. Quan Xuanhe was busy filming at the time, so he only glanced at them briefly, replied with a couple of words of agreement, and then there was no further news.

After filming wrapped up and he returned to the hotel, there was no further news. Han Ji-min suddenly knocked on the door and came in, giving him no time to reply to Yoo Ji-min's message.

I think it's great. I'm not a professional, but I feel it's already very good.

Do you have any thoughts on this? (Curious)

The message was sent last night, and you only replied this morning. That's incredibly slow.

This was Liu Zhimin's first reaction after seeing Quan Xuanhe's reply, and Quan Xuanhe didn't say anything about why he hadn't replied last night.

Isn't this just avoiding the issue?

【Oh. 】

A curt "oh" instantly made Quan Xuanhe understand Liu Zhimin's emotions, and he also knew very well why. Without thinking much, he typed back a string of words.

【I filmed very late yesterday and rehearsed with Jimin noona, please understand. (Rubbing hands)】

Are you so busy that you can't even spare a minute to reply to a message?

Liu Zhimin did not accept this explanation, asking if she was simply too busy to reply to messages because she didn't care.

[It's nothing else, we're talking about work...]

She then realized that she might have gone too far with her words, making it seem like she was being overly serious or caring. So, she softened her tone and said something similar, not wanting to express that she was bothered by it too much.

[I'll definitely do it next time; I really forgot this time.]

These words didn't inspire any trust in her at all. Liu Zhimin pouted, a little angry, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Who made the decision on my own initiative?

So, oppa, is there anything you want to say?

Everything's fine, no problems. We'll confirm and discuss it further when we meet.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk sat on the bed and heard a noise coming from the doorway; it was Han Ji-min calling out.

"Xuan He?"

time to go.

Okay, let's talk about it when we meet.

I'm getting ready to go, bye-bye. (Waves)

The message ended with the last sentence from Quan Xuanhe, which Liu Zhimin had read but not replied to, expressing her slight dissatisfaction. Otherwise, she would not usually let the words fall to the ground, and the message always ended with her own words.

Liu Zhimin's buttocks were pressed against her calves, and she felt a little numb, so she moved her legs away and started to rub her calves.

Another message popped up on her phone screen, making her already slightly unhappy mood because of Quan Xuanhe even worse. She rolled her eyes slightly.

Why are you sending me these messages to harass me?

A message popped up repeatedly from a male idol surnamed Huang, making Liu Zhimin feel like blocking him. If it weren't for the fact that they were both in the entertainment industry, they would have fallen out long ago.

She is completely focused on Kwon Hyun-hyuk; everyone else, please leave.

OK?

...The concert was heavily promoted, and fans outside were scrambling to buy tickets, with scalpers even starting to flood the market with tickets.

The ticketing and brokerage companies were very considerate, reserving some extra tickets for them to share with their friends and family.

The concert is scheduled for the third-to-last day of the year, right on the edge of the New Year, which undoubtedly sends a signal to the outside world.

TWICE withdrew from year-end stage activities, stepping down from the center stage with honor and dignity, following the natural course of idol life.

The COVID-19 situation in South Korea is severe, with tens of thousands of new infections every day, and the rate of increase is still rising sharply, indicating a complete relaxation of restrictions.

However, since the restrictions have just been lifted, strict management policies are still in place, so TWICE's offline concert after two years will follow the epidemic prevention and control management system.

Fans attending the concert must wear masks and are not allowed to shout; they can only express their cheers and applause with clapping toys.

This greatly diminishes the experience of watching a concert offline; the applause and cheers from the audience are equally important components of a good concert.

Despite numerous restrictions, at least the event was held, and JYPE was able to rake in a large sum of money. During the pandemic, they even had TWICE accept game advertising endorsements for the sake of money, which can be considered a pure money-making scheme that disregards sophistication.

Therefore, Chou Tzu-yu's idea of ​​inviting Kwon Seon-hyuk to watch the show was something she had already planned, and now she was going to formally extend the invitation.

Quan Xuanhe had just gotten off the RV and arrived at the film set, greeting everyone on set, when his phone vibrated again. Looking down, he saw it was a message from Zhou Ziyu.

Are you coming to our concert?

December 29th.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk was somewhat surprised when he saw the news, because...

Because Sana Minatozaki had already told him and sent him the tickets a long time ago, including two.

He and Minatozaki Sana didn't just talk about relationship issues all the time; they actually had a really good relationship. They chatted occasionally and shared things about their lives, and so on...

She even felt relaxed and comfortable only when chatting with Sana Minatozaki, without having to think about so many unnecessary things.

No, didn't your sister tell you?
Wait a minute, let me check if I have any plans for that day.

Quan Xuanhe gave a roundabout reply first, then immediately found Minatozaki Sana, took a screenshot, and sent it to her.

【? 】

What happened? Didn't you tell her?

[I forgot... I haven't had a proper way to tell Tzuyu yet.]

Sana Minato didn't think too much about it at the time and directly invited Kwon Hyeon-hyuk to the concert. Now, everyone in the group knows that she and Kwon Hyeon-hyuk have a good relationship, and it's something that doesn't need to be hidden anymore.

The situation wasn't like it is now back then.

Okay, I've told Tzuyu I agreed.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk thought about it and realized that it wasn't a big problem. He had already promised Tzuyu, so there was nothing wrong with it.

【OK! 】

Sana Minatozaki's heart skipped a beat, but after thinking about it, she felt there was no problem and replied very readily.

Aside from preparing for their year-end stage performance, TWICE has been incredibly idle lately, to the point that they themselves are starting to feel a little uncomfortable.

Is this what retired girl groups should be like at the end of the year? What kind of lives did they lead before?

Sana Minatozaki went back to Japan a few days ago, spent some time with her girlfriends, and then rested at home for a few more days before flying back to Seoul just two days ago.

Otherwise, how could there have been no activity between her and Quan Xuanhe for so many days?

She was still relaxed and was now planning to go back and meet up with one of her girlfriends for some fun.

Sana Minatozaki's eyes lit up, and she had an idea.

"Miyeon, have you finished being busy lately? Let's hang out together!"

"Great! I'm almost done filming, so I can go out and have some fun these next few days!"

"OK~"

Sana Minatozaki knows a lot of female idols, and has been involved with many of them, whether they've mentioned it on camera or not. But over time, the idol friend she's been able to truly connect with publicly is Miyeon Cho.

She's about to unleash her full power!

Seeing Kwon Heonhyuk's exceptionally quick reply, Chou Tzu-yu was in a pleasant mood. Her lightly made-up face wore a faint smile, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, showing that she was in a very good mood at the moment.

Okay~ Shall I send you the tickets?

【OK! 】

Seeing his prompt reply, Chou Tzu-yu's mood improved even further.

It's not just Sana Minatozaki who's going to put in the effort; isn't she also preparing to slowly start putting in the effort as well?

Now that things have come to this point, and she has suffered all this, shouldn't she take a step forward instead of staying where she is?
……

When Ahn Hyo-seop heard the news from his manager over the phone, his face immediately turned ugly. After taking a few deep breaths, he exclaimed irritably, "We've already met, and suddenly you're saying you're not going to work together anymore?"

"They changed the actor; it's Lee Do-hyun."

"he?"

"He's not as famous as me yet, so why should he?"

The role he was about to get was snatched away, and it was even a small-scale manga adaptation project. Naturally, Ahn Hyo-seop was anxious.

"The information I heard is that the production company changed its mind and said they wanted to replace the actor."

The production company is Kakao. When did he offend such a big company that they want to replace him now?
"why?"

"It seems to be... Kwon Hyun-hyuk's idea."

Upon hearing the person he resented most, Ahn Hyo-seop became extremely angry. His face, already swollen due to the aftereffects of plastic surgery, became even more swollen with his rage.

"Xiba!"

"What gives him the right?"

In Ahn Hyo-seop's eyes, it was disappointing enough that the previous airport hype hadn't managed to bring Kwon Heon-hyuk down.

He immediately knew that this action was the work of Quan Xuanhe, and that it was revenge against him!
"I'll talk to the production company again and see if there's still a chance."

“He stole my role and leaked the news so that everyone outside would know what kind of person he really is.”

Ahn Hyo-seop felt extremely annoyed by the praise he received from the outside world. Why should someone who stole his role be so popular?

You little bastard.

"Not recommended..."

The agent hesitated.

They already gave themselves away by failing to strike a blow through the airport incident, and now they're starting to mobilize online trolls for marketing...

If we continue like this, there will be no turning back.

Ahn Hyo-seop may not be clear-headed, but his manager is.

The agent's obstruction fueled his anger, his face turned ashen, and he couldn't help but punch his own face, which twitched in pain.

West Eight...

Times have changed, and now it's a situation of futile efforts, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot or an ant trying to shake a tree.
