Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 584 Let's get back together?
The first thing that happened in 2022 was the New Year's dinner party for the cast and crew of "20th Century Girl".

In the depths of winter, near a film set in Gyeonggi Province, warm yellow lights flicker inside an izakaya (Japanese pub).

Kwon Hyun-hyuk, Kim Yoo-jung, Noh Yoon-seo, Park Jung-woo, and several other main cast members sat around a table, the air filled with the aroma of soju, barbecue, and the mingling of voices.

Director Fang Youli raised his glass and said some encouraging words, which were echoed by everyone, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Happy New Year! Cheers!" The clinking of glasses created a harmonious and friendly atmosphere. After a period of filming, everyone had become quite familiar with each other.

Kim Yoo-jung sat next to him, her cheeks flushed with a healthy rosy glow from the alcohol and the warmth of the heater.

Her gaze kept drifting towards Kwon Seonhyuk's profile. Taking advantage of a moment when they were raising their glasses, her fingers seemingly casually brushed against the back of Kwon Seonhyuk's hand as she whispered with a smile, "Oppa, are you that popular? Can you tell me who your girlfriend is?"

Kwon Hyun-hyuk turned his head and met Kim Yoo-jung's eyes, which were sparkling with inquiry and a subtle expectation.

He calmly picked up the glass and took a sip of the liquor, the rich liquid bringing a warm sensation as it slid down his throat.

"Want to know who it is?"

Kim Yoo-jung smiled even more sweetly, leaned closer, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Yeah, I'm wondering who could be so charming as to be oppa's girlfriend."

Lu Yunrui watched the two whispering and interacting so closely, then raised his wine glass to shield his vision, pretending not to see.

Park Jungwoo buried his head in his meat, pretending not to see anything.

In the small arena of fame and fortune that is the film crew, no matter what happens, it will not escape the eyes of those who are interested.

Why are you so eager to know who it is?

"I'm so curious, I really am curious, what kind of girl does oppa like?"

If it's not Kim Jisoo, as the rumors are circulating, then who could it be?
What type do you like?
His orientation is very single-minded.

He likes all pretty people, the prettier the better; he's just that kind of superficial person.

"Pretty, preferably lively and cute. Of course, if she's pretty enough, other criteria can be ignored."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk's words earned him an eye roll from Kim Yoo-jung, who immediately looked displeased. However, what she said next was quite unexpected.
"Huh? Oppa likes me?"

"Isn't that talking about me?"

Kim Yoo-jung pointed at herself with her fair finger, and when she saw Kwon Seon-hyuk's somewhat questioning gaze, she couldn't hold back anymore and burst into laughter, laughing so hard that she leaned against Kwon Seon-hyuk.

After her laughter subsided, she moved closer to him, and the fragrance emanating from her body filled his nostrils, stirring a stirring in his heart.

"So, who is it? Oppa, can you tell me?"

He was concise and to the point, without beating around the bush, and directly revealed the answer: "Zhao Meiyan."

Zhao Meiyan?
Kim Yoo-jung searched her memory for any recollections of this person, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally found the information.

She chuckled softly, looking up at Kwon Hyun-hyuk: "Ah... that (G)I-DLE idol?"

"What, are you a little surprised?"

"Of course, it's a surprise. I thought oppa's girlfriend was an actress, but I didn't expect her to be an idol."

Kim Yoo-jung's words were somewhat discriminatory towards idols, but it wasn't her intention; rather, it was a natural reaction given Kwon Heon-hyuk's status.

Why would she choose a minor idol, even someone outside the entertainment industry? It took her a while to figure out who it was; she almost couldn't recall the person at all.

She's not a K-pop fan and doesn't follow idols much, so apart from very famous ones like BTS and Twice, she doesn't know much about the others.

Especially Gidle, who hasn't fully made a name for themselves yet, their fame is limited to the K-pop scene.

"What's wrong with being an idol? Is it beneath me to date an idol? You're being discriminatory."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk put down his wine glass, reached out and tapped Kim Yoo-jung's forehead, giving her a warning that was neither too strong nor too weak.

“Ani, I didn’t mean that. I thought oppa would talk about… em, it doesn’t seem like he would talk about idols.”

Kwon Heonhyuk has a bright future ahead of him, so it's highly believable that he'd be dating an idol. After all, many people in Chungmuro ​​have done that, but the key is that no one has seriously found one to be their girlfriend.

Even Kim Yoo-jung, who is also a woman, thinks this way.

The role model in this regard is still Lee Byung-hun, Kwon Heon-hyuk's former boss.

After playing idol games, he was falsely accused and extorted, but he remained unfazed and unperturbed.

"Does it look like that now?"

Quan Xuanhe picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and said with a smile.

"Em... um!"

Although Kim Yoo-jung was smiling, her true thoughts had subtly changed.

She thought it was some great Buddha, but it turned out to be just an idol?

How can we possibly have a proper discussion?

Even Kim Yoo-jung had a moment of disdain in her mind, let alone the others who were itching to make a move.

Thinking makes one bolder, and Kim Yoo-jung suddenly felt that doing something sneaky might actually lead to success.

How did oppa and she get together?

"Over time, feelings will gradually develop."

Quan Xuanhe gave a brief explanation and then interrupted her questions, not continuing to discuss his thoughts about his girlfriend.

"Why ask so many questions? Let's talk about something else and enjoy our meal."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk reached out and patted her head. Kim Yoo-jung covered her head and looked annoyed. "Oppa, just talk. Why did you pat my head?"

Although she said that, Kim Yoo-jung's mind was actually starting to stir.

After a satisfying meal, everyone dispersed and returned to their hotel to rest.

Kim Yoo-jung, who had been quite lively at the dinner table, now looked slightly tipsy, with a flushed face and bright, watery eyes, as if they were filled with spring water.

When they left, no one went to help the unsteady Kim Yoo-jung. Instead, one or two people intentionally or unintentionally had Kwon Hyun-hyuk escort Kim Yoo-jung back to the hotel.

This left Kwon Hyun-hyuk somewhat helpless.

There was nothing between him and Kim Yoo-jung yet, but the crew members all assumed that something romantic had happened between them. In reality, it was just Kim Yoo-jung who was smitten.

He really didn't mean to attract people casually.

"Oppa."

Kim Yoo-jung pulled and tugged at him, her body half leaning against him, the sweet fragrance of the girl mixed with the smell of alcohol constantly assaulting his nostrils.

A tender sensation washed over him, and Kwon Hyun-hyuk helped Kim Yoo-jung onto the elevator, swaying as they walked to her room.

"oppa!"

At this moment, Kim Yoo-jung nudged him, then swayed as she stood up, raising her head to look at him with a charming gaze.

The warm yellow light cast a golden glow on Kim Yoo-jung's face, making her eyes sparkle with a captivating springtime charm as she gazed at him with a radiant smile.

It is indeed very touching.

"Bye-Bye."

Kim Yoo-jung chuckled, her eyes sparkling with desire. Then, she tiptoed and lightly touched his lips before turning and leaving.

Goodnight, oppa.

Kim Yoo-jung, leaning against the door, smiled at him, looked up at him with a somewhat infatuated gaze, waved her small hands in the air, and finally slowly closed the door.

"Go to sleep."

Good morning, oppa.

The film set was bitterly cold before dawn.

The lighting technicians and set designers were already busy. The huge lighting equipment illuminated the artificially arranged campus scene as bright as day, but it couldn't dispel the chill of the early winter morning.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk, wrapped in a thick, long black down jacket, was sipping a piping hot coffee handed to him by his assistant, trying to dispel the chill and confusion.

He didn't drink much, but he seemed to have had too much sleep.

Kim Yoo-jung was also bundled up tightly, looking like a fluffy little bear as she ran over, but she seemed much more energetic than Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

"Good morning, oppa!" She took off her mask, her bright smile like the rising sun, a stark contrast to the gray and cold morning.

What happened last night still motivated Kim Yoo-jung, who felt that having an affair with the sexy Kwon Seon-hyuk wasn't a big deal.

She naturally stood next to Quan Xuanhe, her shoulder almost touching his arm. "Did you drink too much last night? Didn't you sleep well? You look very tired."

The crisp sound attracted the curious glances of several staff members nearby.

"It's alright." Kwon Hyun-hyuk looked down at Kim Yoo-jung and nodded slightly. "Let's get started."

"Yes~" Kim Yoo-jung replied in a drawn-out tone, her eyes sparkling with a smile.

She didn't lean closer, but just looked at his profile as he focused on the script, her tone light and cheerful.

"Our scenes today are the most important, Feng Yunhao, you'd better be on your best, fighting!"

Feng Yunhao is the name of his character in the movie; Kim Yoo-jung called him that on purpose.

In the movie, he's a doting man who pursues love.

Not far away, two female stagehands were tidying up prop cables while whispering among themselves.

"Look at Kim Yoo-jung's eyes, she's like she's glued to Kwon Hyun-hyuk and can't tear herself off..." "Is something going to happen between these two?"

"Who knows? But it's pretty good."

"Shh! Keep your voice down!"

Their conversation was interrupted by the hurried footsteps of Kwon Soo-hyuk's assistant. The assistant handed him his phone, the screen displaying a new message:

Miyeon: I'm outside the film set.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk subconsciously looked around, trying to find Zhao Meiyan, but he couldn't see her in his sight.

He quickly typed a reply:
"Wait a moment, I'll have my assistant bring you in."

After sending the message, he took a deep breath of the cold air and began to give instructions to his assistant, "Go and bring her to the lounge."

Not far away, director Fang Youli was already calling out: "Actors, take your positions! Action in five minutes!"

Zhao Meiyan wrapped her long down jacket tightly around herself, and her mask and woolen hat almost covered most of her face, leaving only her eyes shining with apprehension and anxiety.

The car was parked not far away. She didn't let anyone follow her and chose to come to the film set alone to see Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

The assistant hurriedly walked outside the film set, looked around, spotted Zhao Meiyan, and quickly went over to her.

"Miyeon-xi, please come this way with me!"

Zhao Meiyan heard her voice calling her, turned around and saw that it was her assistant. She nodded and followed her.

But she suddenly stopped halfway through her walk and turned to look at Kwon Hyun-hyuk, who was surrounded by spotlights and cameras not far away.

In her eyes, Quan Xuanhe was standing inside chatting and laughing with a girl, and the girl was even giving him flirtatious glances, looking like she had secretly fallen for him.

How is this possible?

The scene before her eyes made Zhao Meiyan stop in her tracks, staring intently at the scene, unable to move an inch.

"Mei Yanxi?"

"Can I watch from here for a while? To see how he films a movie."

Zhao Meiyan politely turned to her assistant, but her attention remained fixed on Quan Xuanhe, unable to look away.

"Uh...okay."

The assistant was taken aback for a moment, but faced with this not-too-excessive request, he quickly nodded and agreed.

So Zhao Meiyan stood alone to the side, watching the filming on set.

Meanwhile, Quan Xuanhe, who was in the center, did not notice that Zhao Meiyan was watching him from outside. At this moment, he had already started filming and was focused on the filming.

The two sat on a bench by the street, with several cameras pointed directly at them.

"action!"

As soon as the call to start filming was given, Quan Xuanhe immediately transformed into the gentle and kind Feng Yunhao in the drama, his eyes always sparkling with affection when he looked at the person he liked.

Kim Yoo-jung was captivated by his expressive eyes last time, and although she developed some resistance afterward, she still couldn't help but fall for his charm after making serious eye contact.

She really likes handsome guys like Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

Of course, which girls wouldn't want to eat that?

Standing outside the circle, Zhao Meiyan watched Kwon Hyun-hyuk and Kim Yoo-jung filming, her eyes focused yet somewhat bewildered.

She couldn't figure it out either.

There was no fierce attack, no earth-shattering multi-pronged offensive; on the surface, it was just a simple set visit!

"Okay, let's go back?"

After standing outside for a while, Zhao Meiyan got bored and turned to her assistant, who had been standing next to her, to say something before following her back to the lounge.

The lounge was quite spacious. Although there were no beds, the soft sofas made it easy to recline and use as a makeshift single bed.

Zhao Meiyan took off her hat and mask, let out a long sigh of relief, and then sat down on the sofa, immediately feeling much more relaxed.

All we need to do now is wait for Quan Xuanhe to arrive.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Meiyan sat there waiting listlessly. Finally, she heard a commotion outside, and then the door opened, revealing Quan Xuanhe.

He was still wearing his costume at this time, but it looked no different from his usual casual wear.

"It's been a long time."

When Kwon Hyun-hyuk saw Cho Mi-yeon, his girlfriend whom he hadn't seen in a long time, he immediately broke into a big smile.

"Xuanhe ya~"

Zhao Meiyan suddenly perked up, a sunny and cheerful smile spreading across her face, her gaze becoming sincere and eager.

Her good boy!
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Quan Xuanhe closed the door, shutting out the noise from outside, and gradually walked over to her and sat down beside her.

Even in winter, Zhao Meiyan was dressed warmly, but it was clear that she had dressed up carefully.

With her fair complexion, smooth forehead, and Zhao Meiyan's most exquisite features, she looked extremely beautiful.

She was his pretty girl.

"It's okay, it's worth waiting for you no matter how long it takes."

Zhao Meiyan's attitude had softened long ago, and when she took the initiative to meet with Quan Xuanhe, her desire to get back together began to stir.

She was just one word away from throwing herself into his arms and giving him a passionate kiss from Meiyan!

"By the way, I heard a rumor backstage during my performance the other day..."

At this moment, Zhao Meiyan brought up the gossip she had overheard, which disturbed her mind and almost caused her to have a mental breakdown.

"what?"

Thinking of the rumors, the first thing Kwon Heonhyuk thought of was that not long ago, Kim Yoo-jung had also mistakenly believed that his girlfriend was Kim Ji-soo. After all, who knows how widely the news had spread.

Zhao Meiyan paused, carefully observed his expression, and then slowly spoke.

"I've heard some gossip saying that your girlfriend is Liu Zhimin?"

When he heard this, Quan Xuanhe was stunned for a moment, never expecting it to be someone else.

How can rumors spread like this?
"That's nonsense, utterly absurd."

Quan Xuanhe immediately and firmly denied that statement.

What do you mean Liu Zhimin is his girlfriend? It's not her turn yet!

"Is that so?"

Zhao Meiyan wasn't entirely sure either, but seeing his resolute and confident demeanor, she nodded with a hint of doubt, appearing somewhat hesitant.

"What, you don't believe me?"

Seeing her hesitant expression, Quan Xuanhe asked in return.

"I...I was just wondering why such rumors would spread."

"Who knows? Maybe it's because we collaborated on a stage back then that people made such speculations. There are already so many rumors, one more won't make a difference."

Quan Xuanhe remained expressionless and spoke clearly about this series of events.

"Indeed, that's possible."

Zhao Meiyan thought about it and realized that it was indeed a possibility, so she stopped worrying about it.

She still chose to believe him.

Now, it's time to talk about the important stuff.

"Xuanhe, what have you been thinking about these past few days?"

Zhao Meiyan opened her large, delicate eyes and looked at him with great concern, asking softly.

“I actually think... we can still overcome those problems and get back together.”

"What do you say?"

She did indeed take the initiative to express her true feelings and sincerely hoped to continue the relationship.

Zhao Meiyan herself still wants to continue her relationship with Quan Xuanhe.

Faced with Zhao Meiyan's sincere emotions, Quan Xuanhe opened his mouth, just about to say something.

But before Zhao Meiyan could get a reply from Quan Xuanhe, who was eagerly waiting, someone knocked on the door, and then a clear voice came in.

"Where's Hyun Hyuk oppa?"

Kim Yoo-jung peeked in from outside, her eyes sparkling with a smile as she looked into the lounge, where she spotted Jo Mi-yeon looking at Kwon Hyun-hyuk with concern.

And then there was Kwon Hyun-hyuk, who happened to turn his head and look at Kim Yoo-jung, their eyes meeting.

It seems she ruined something?
Kim Yoo-jung, who pushed open the door without thinking much, seemed to realize that she had stumbled upon the two's secret rendezvous.

Of course, she probably didn't feel much regret or remorse for what she had done wrong.
