Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 688 I've Read It All and Miss You
"Whoo~"

"Filming is finished, let's take a break."

Lim Nayeon uttered this remark, then closed the door of the van and let out a long sigh.

She then turned her head and saw that both Sana Minatozaki and Tzuyu were holding their phones.

Without saying anything, Lim Nayeon herself leaned back in the soft chair, holding her phone, to relax her tired mind.

I've been working non-stop lately.

The first two days of October were for a fan meeting in Japan. In between, I flew back to South Korea for a filming assignment. After filming, I flew back to Japan to continue the fan meeting.

Even though she's been in the industry for seven years, she's still very busy!

Sana Minato swiped her phone screen, her fingertip finally hovering over the prominent red Netflix icon.

Today is September 10th.

"20th Century Girl" was prominently featured on the homepage, with a poster of Kwon Heon-hyuk and Kim Yoo-jung standing side by side, exuding a youthful and nostalgic vibe.

Sana Minatozaki's finger honestly tapped down.

Twice has been quite busy with their schedules lately, and she hasn't had much time to meet with Kwon Heonhyuk. Besides, if the two of them were to meet privately...

What's the difference between that and having an affair?

Although her relationship with Quan Xuanhe has changed, she still needs to keep it a secret on the surface and not actually turn it into an affair.

if that is the case…

It's really hard to explain how it ended.

She adjusted her posture, put on her Bluetooth earphones, and pressed play.

The journey back was long, so I caught up on some dramas along the way and checked out what Kwon Heon-hyuk and Kim Yoo-jung's movies were like.

It was a youth romance movie.

This is the type of movie that most girls love to watch.

After the familiar Netflix opening sound effects, the movie instantly transported her to the 1990s, a time bathed in a warm, yellowish filter.

Kim Yoo-jung plays Na Bo-ra, a reckless and energetic character who goes head-to-head for her best friend's love.

Sana initially had a detached, "let's see how well you guys act" attitude.

When Quan Xuanhe appeared in the frame, her gaze unconsciously froze for a moment.

A simple white shirt, tousled black hair, clear eyes—his portrayal of Baek Hyun-jin, with his upright posture and the subtle curve of his lips when he slightly tilts his head to look at Ra Bora…

After watching it, Sana Minatozaki silently commented in her mind: "He even wore a school uniform and acted all sentimental... making it seem like a teenage boys' college."

However, even Sana Minatozaki had to admit that he was indeed a bit too handsome in the movie; his refreshing youthful charm almost seemed to leap off the screen.

"Heh...you acted quite convincingly."

She muttered to herself, the retro background music playing in her headphones, matching the various misunderstandings and unexpected encounters that arose between the two characters in the movie as they helped their best friend scout for potential partners.

Sana originally just wanted to casually watch to pass the time, see how Kwon Heonhyuk performed in the movie, and show her support as usual.

However, nowadays, any show with the power of a powerful figure is guaranteed to be a hit. With that aura, watching his shows is less likely to be a disappointment.

Before she knew it, she was gradually drawn into the unique, slightly clumsy yet incredibly sincere emotional atmosphere of the 90s in the movie.

I was immediately captivated.

The camera captured those subtle exchanges of glances and tiny physical touches, and Sana Minato found herself so engrossed that she didn't even notice the sound of Nayeon turning over next to her.

"Wow, the atmosphere... it's really well done."

She pursed her lips, but her fingers unconsciously tightened around the edge of her phone.

As the movie enters its second half, the plot begins to twist. When it is revealed that the person her best friend truly has a crush on is not the 'Baek Hyun-jin' she thought she was, but the real 'Baek Hyun-jin', Minatozaki Sana's eyes widen slightly.

The clever twist in the design, and the emotional outburst that followed, completely captivated her.

And finally, the emotional climax: Kwon Seon-hyuk and Kim Yoo-jung's farewell at the train station...

It hurts, it hurts too much.

Sana Minatozaki also had tears in her eyes while watching.

Girls are easily moved to tears by these videos; they're so empathetic. It's like an endless stream of tears being harvested from girls' eyes.

The pain continues: the long-distance relationship, Kwon Hyun-hyuk's loss of contact, Kim Yoo-jung's gradual forgetting, and the heartbreaking tears she shed when she heard the same name as him again during a blind date years later.

My goodness, this is youth-themed literature full of melancholy…

Sana Minatozaki clutched a tissue, tears streaming down her face.

Ugh, I knew I shouldn't have watched it. Watching it has caused such a huge emotional upheaval, I'm exhausted.

When Han Hyo-joo's adult character, at the end of the film, delivers a soliloquy about youth, regret, and letting go with a relieved smile and faint tears, the OST playing in my headphones is both gentle and powerful.

As the movie ended, the credits rolled, and a gentle end credits song began to play.

Sana Minatozaki leaned back in her chair, remaining motionless for a while, the light from the screen reflecting on her somewhat dazed face.

It seems that most of the fatigue was washed away by the sincere emotional power of the film itself, leaving behind a warm and tiring feeling filled with a beautiful story.

She took off one earphone and let out a long, silent breath.

This caught the attention of Chou Tzu-yu, who was standing nearby.

"What are you looking at so intently, unnie? Are you even crying?"

"Ah, it's Hyunhyuk's new movie, '20th Century Girl'."

Sana Minatozaki sniffed, her voice slightly nasal as she spoke.

"Ah, I know, I'm planning to watch it too, what do you think?"

It turned out that Nayeon spoke faster than Tzuyu, turning her head excitedly to ask Sana Minatozaki.

"Great, it looks very nice."

"Was that movie really that good? Did it make you cry?"

Her tone was slightly teasing, but mostly curious.

Sana Minato rubbed her still slightly red eyes: "Ani, it was filmed very sincerely, especially the feeling of youthful regret in the later part. With the music, tears just came out on their own."

"Yu-jung acted very well in it, take a look, it's pretty good!"

Chou Tzu-yu had been listening quietly, and then spoke softly, "I saw it on Netflix's homepage, the poster is really great."

Sana Minatozaki has already followed it, and naturally, Tzuyu is also following it immediately, though she wasn't as eager as Sana Minatozaki to see it right away.

She was waiting to go back to her dorm to watch it.

Lim Nayeon immediately perked up, quickly took out her phone and opened the app, "I've watched some of the trailer too, I'll watch it when I get back. How touching was it that Sana cried too?"

Upon hearing this, Sana Minato sniffed and smiled sheepishly.

After watching the movie, the three of them chatted for a few minutes before quickly arriving at the dormitory.

Nowadays, not many people actually stay in dormitories anymore.

The situation was illustrated when Lim Nayeon and Momo appeared on the show "I Live Alone".

They definitely don't live there much, and they only make public the dormitory and even the window view photos when they are planning to move out completely and live on their own.

Needless to say, after that, those who wanted to live together lived together, and those who wanted to live alone lived alone.

The members, dragging their tired but relaxed bodies, filed in one after another, greeting each other with "You've worked hard" and "I'm going to take a shower first," before dispersing to remove their makeup, wash up, or rest.

Chou Tzu-yu returned to her room, closed the door, and finally shut out the faint sounds of her washing up coming from the living room.

She went back to bed and tapped the Netflix icon on her tablet. Sure enough, the homepage displayed the movie poster.

In the warm-toned image, Kwon Heon-hyuk and Kim Yoo-jung stand side by side, their smiles carrying a gentleness unique to the old days. At the bottom of the poster, the words "20th Century Girl" stand out clearly.

Without hesitation, she put on her headphones and started watching the show.

The story unfolds layer by layer, intertwining misunderstandings and tests. Chou Tzu-yu watched intently, immersed in the slow-flowing, somewhat clumsy yet incredibly sincere emotional atmosphere.

Okay, I won't go into the details, but the result is the same: Chou Tzu-yu was also moved to tears.

Unless you're a ruthless woman, a normal, gentle girl watching this kind of movie, especially the poignant beauty rather than the melodramatic kind, will likely relate to it.

Just like her and Kwon Hyun-hyuk. If only they hadn't broken up back then, maybe they would still be happily together now, without all that messy stuff from other people.

After a long while, she reached out and touched the center of the screen with her fingertip, pausing the scrolling subtitles.

Okay, after watching it, she missed Kwon Hyun-hyuk again.

Chou Tzu-yu took out her phone and first took a selfie.

Lying in bed in her pajamas, her eyes brimming with tears, she looked at Kwon Hyun-hyuk's face from a movie on her tablet.

Of course, you also need to have a focal point when taking photos.

Chou Tzu-yu has matured now.

She looked down at her pajamas, reached out and gently unbuttoned the top button, then gently pulled it to both sides.

Find another angle to make sure it's visible.

A little temptation.

look.

She has grown up.

Chou Tzu-yu's finger hovered over the send button for a few seconds before finally pressing it. The photo was posted, accompanied by only a few simple words:
I cried while watching the movie.

(photo)
After sending the message successfully, she immediately placed her phone face down on the blanket, as if she had done something wrong, her chest heaving slightly.

My cheeks felt a little hot, I didn't know if it was the lingering warmth from crying earlier, or because of that photo with its hidden agenda.

She pulled the blanket up high, burying herself halfway in it, leaving only her eyes peeking out as she stared at her phone, which was lying face down, waiting for a reply.

Time passed second by second, the screen remained completely black, so quiet that you could hear your own heartbeat.

Is he busy? Or is he with someone else?
Isn't that photo a bit too deliberate...?

The phone screen suddenly lit up, and the vibration was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

It's Kwon Hyun-hyuk's exclusive notification sound.

Chou Tzu-yu almost immediately flipped her phone over, unlocked it, and turned it on.

[Photo viewed]
"Crying like this? Our Tzuyu has such a soft heart."

"Is the movie good?"

"Why are your eyes so red, like a little rabbit's? (pats head.jpg)"

Several messages popped up in quick succession, each with a familiar tone of intimacy and teasing.

Chou Tzu-yu curled her fingers, looked at the text he sent on the screen, and unconsciously smiled as she tapped her fingers on the screen.

"Hmm... It's good. The ending is very sad."

"When Hyunjin left..."

"And then, when she heard that name at the end... she cried again."

"Aigoo, our Tzuyu is truly made of water! (bunny rubbing eyes emoji)."

The screen light reflected off Chou Tzu-yu's slightly reddened eyes. After seeing the message, a small smile curved her lips, and she tapped her fingers lightly.

"I didn't think about it... I just feel regretful."

Inside the RV, Kwon Seonhyuk leaned back on the sofa, a script spread out in front of him.

Looking at Chou Tzu-yu's last words, which were tinged with a hint of coquettish complaint, he could almost see her cheeks puffed out, smiling radiantly.

hum...bum...

My phone vibrated again, but this time it wasn't a chat window with Tzuyu.

It’s Liu Zhimin.

"I watched the movie."

Then came another photo.

However, this time it's a close-up of Yoo Jimin's face, with red-rimmed eyes, looking like she's about to shed tears.

Although she has a great figure, she doesn't really like to flirt with the wrong side; she has hidden talents but keeps them to herself.

Quan Xuanhe raised an eyebrow.

He put down his chopsticks, his thumb hovering over the screen for a second.

Yoo Jimin VS Chou Tzu-yu

Liu Zhimin wins!

"Those scenes you filmed with Yoo-jung were so sweet, waaaaaah!"

"How many takes were needed for that goodbye kiss at the train station?"

Quan Xuanhe looked at the two messages, which were clearly probing and had a hint of sourness, and silently twitched the corners of his mouth.

Liu Zhimin disappeared for a few days, and the first thing he did was address this kind of question. He tapped the screen with his fingertip.

"It's just work. We'll film it exactly as the script is written. Don't get jealous over everything."

He put down his phone, rubbed his temples, and looked at Chou Tzu-yu, who looked soft and a little aggrieved after watching the movie and needed comforting.

On one side is Liu Zhimin, who has just been given some pointers by Zhao Meiyan and is now testing the boundaries of his work, her mind wandering.

Having many women brings this kind of trouble.

Liu Zhimin sat on the sofa, a tablet propped on her lap, her headphones blocking out the noise of the outside world.

She had just finished watching the movie and was taking a break during her schedule.

Liu Zhimin is currently in the United States.

Her current schedule still includes a part of her trip to the United States, and after that, all that's left is the year-end awards ceremony.

And then…

After that, nothing much happens, and I'll probably remain in a leisurely state for a while.

There's no definite date yet for my next comeback; company matters are keeping me in limbo.

"Work... justifies kissing so many times?"

send.

She stared at the screen, her fingertips unconsciously digging into the edge of the tablet.

The scenes inside the RV, Zhao Meiyan's line "Let's get closer," and Kim Yoo-jung's sparkling gaze at him in the movie—all these elements are mixed together in a chaotic mess.

"Oppa and Yoo-jung's acting went very smoothly, didn't it?"

Quan Xuanhe looked at the sarcastic probing comment and tapped the screen with his finger.

"really."

Kim Yoo-jung's service was among the best he had ever experienced.

Can she be ranked alongside Somi?

Liu Zhimin sniffed, curled her fingers, and a jealous smell rose up. She wrinkled her nose, unwilling to listen.

She watched as the message "The other party is typing..." flashed and then stopped at the top of the chat window.

"It's so cold here in America..."

Quan Xuanhe looked at this sentence, his eyes flickered, and he got up and walked to the window, where the lights of the film set were shining at night.

It should be daytime in the US.

"Don't overthink it, I'll wait for you to come back."

Liu Zhimin stared at the last few words, her finger hovering over the cold screen, but she didn't press it again. She buried her face in her knees.

She also wants to go home as soon as possible!

She couldn't take it anymore; she desperately wanted to go back to Quan Xuanhe's side.
