Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 699 Are you really treating me like a tool?

The bedroom was filled with a warm and tranquil atmosphere.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk woke up on time as reminded by the alarm clock.

The moment he woke up, he immediately felt the warmth and softness in his arms.

Tzuyu was curled up on her side in his arms, her cheek pressed against his chest, her breathing even and deep, she was fast asleep.

One of her arms was still unconsciously draped over his waist, like a small animal seeking shelter.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk looked down for a while, then prepared to get up.

I skipped the film set to go to the concert yesterday, so of course I have to get back to the set on time to film today.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk slowly pulled his arm away from under her neck. He moved gently, afraid of waking her.

Chou Tzu-yu frowned slightly in her sleep, unconsciously hummed, and subconsciously snuggled closer to where he had been.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk got out of bed and glanced back at Tzuyu.

The morning light cast a soft shadow under her long eyelashes, and the flush of drunkenness on her cheeks had faded most of its color, leaving only a healthy pink hue.

Honestly, the more women around him, the more they want to climb into his arms. That's when Ziyu seems all the better. She doesn't scheme or compete for his attention; she's just peaceful and lovely.

Entering the bathroom, Quan Xuanhe quickly finished washing up, changed into clean clothes, and left without a word.

Before leaving, Quan Xuanhe thought for a moment and ordered takeout for her on his phone. Tzuyu should wake up in about half an hour.

The sound of the apartment door locking was barely audible, and the engine hummed softly before quickly disappearing into the slightly chilly morning air below.

Time flowed silently in the quiet bedroom.

The light outside the window gradually became brighter and brighter.

Chou Tzu-yu slowly woke up in a state of extreme comfort and a bit of daze.

She first felt a sense of relaxation and languor throughout her body.

The headache from the hangover was suppressed by a different kind of satisfaction.

She subconsciously stretched out her body in bed, her skin brushing against the silky, cool sheets, making a soft rustling sound.

After a moment of confusion, Chou Tzu-yu suddenly remembered where she was.

A wave of heat instantly washed over my cheeks.

She slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was an unfamiliar ceiling and a simple chandelier. She reached out her arm to touch the side, but found nothing.

She sat up, the thin blanket slipped off, revealing her underwear.

Last night, Quan Xuanhe took off all her clothes, leaving her only in her underwear.

A chill ran through her body. Chou Tzu-yu looked down at herself and grabbed the blanket to cover her chest.

Did I take off my clothes last night?

no.

So it was Xuanhe who took it off for me?

Chou Tzu-yu slowly raised her head and looked around. It was the familiar bedroom in Kwon Hyun-hyuk's house.

His scent seemed to linger in the air.

Everything that happened last night became clear in an instant.

She was drunk, she kissed him first, and then... nothing happened.

She was simply settled here and slept soundly all night.

I feel much more at ease now.

A complex and inexplicable emotion welled up inside her, leaving her momentarily stunned.

"Ah..." Chou Tzu-yu let out a soft breath and rubbed her still throbbing temples.

The thirst intensified, so she threw off the covers, got out of bed, and walked barefoot onto the floor towards the bedroom door.

The living room was empty except for the morning sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the dust particles floating in the air and making it feel exceptionally quiet and spacious.

Where's the dog?
Chou Tzu-yu remembered her pet Mishu, but right now all she could see was the doghouse; she had no idea where the dog had gone.

She was probably taken away by him or sent to a childcare center.

Chou Tzu-yu thought to herself.

Back in the bedroom, still filled with his scent, the mess from last night—well, not really a mess, but mainly the clothes she had taken off that caught my eye.

She took a deep breath, walked to the bedside, and saw that the blankets were a little messy from her sleeping. She bent down, carefully straightened the sheets, tucked in the four corners of the blankets, and fluffed up the pillows.

And so I tidied up the bed.

Just then, there was a knocking sound at the door.

Slightly puzzled, Chou Tzu-yu put on her clothes and walked towards the door, looking at the surveillance camera at the door.

"Hello, your takeout has arrived!"

Chou Tzu-yu realized what was happening and pressed the microphone, "Yes, just put it at the door."

She waited until everyone left before opening the door to retrieve her package.

She glanced at the food with a puzzled look in her eyes, and only when she saw that the menu on the takeout order was all breakfast did she realize that it was Kwon Hyun-hyuk who had ordered the takeout for her.

It's quite heartwarming.

In a good mood, Chou Tzu-yu sat at the dining table, opened her takeout order, and started eating, giving her hangover-induced stomach some comfort.

After finishing her meal, she took her clothes and went into the bathroom, where she took a quick shower.

She looked in the mirror at herself, her cheeks slightly flushed and her eyes still a little dazed. She gently patted her face, trying to shake off the lingering shyness.

Finished washing.

She put on her coat, picked up her small bag, and prepared to leave.

Chou Tzu-yu took one last look at the space filled with traces of his life, then turned and opened the door.

A cool breeze swept over me, carrying the unique urban atmosphere of Seoul.

She gently closed the door, the latch clicking softly, completely shutting out the brief and delicate morning time that belonged only to her and him inside.

The sun was shining brightly downstairs in the apartment building.

She raised her hand to lower the brim of her hat slightly, determined her direction, and started walking towards the main road, intending to hail a taxi back.

Her phone vibrated in her bag. She took it out and glanced at it; it was probably a message from the members or her manager asking about her.

Chou Tzu-yu didn't reply immediately. She just held her phone in her hand, feeling the warmth of the sunlight on the back of her hand, and unconsciously slowed her pace.

"Xuanhe-xi, you've worked hard! Get ready for the next match."

The assistant director shouted through a megaphone, his voice echoing through the empty, makeshift set.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk nodded, took the thermos cup handed to him by his assistant, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and was about to close his eyes and concentrate on the emotions of the next scene when an unusual commotion came from the entrance of the film set, like a pebble thrown into a calm water.

"Is that Yu-jung? What's she doing here?"

"It's a support coffee truck, probably here to support Hyunhyuk."

The sounds of discussion grew louder as they approached.

At this moment, his assistant came up to him and told him about Kim Yoo-jung's visit to the set. Kwon Hyun-hyuk then walked out of the set and saw the person who had come.

Today she wore a bright yellow shearling short coat, a white turtleneck sweater underneath, black jeans that hugged her legs, and white sneakers. She looked energetic and vibrant.

She had a bright smile on her face, full of energy, and was bowing slightly as she spoke to the crew members who came to greet her.

"Annyeonghaseyo." Kim Yoo-jung's clear voice rang out, carrying a unique charm and enthusiasm.

"It's cold, everyone must be tired! I brought hot coffee and snacks, please help yourselves and replenish your energy."

As she spoke, she took a special hot latte from the coffee cart staff, her gaze piercing through the crowd and landing precisely on Quan Xuanhe.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk saw a coffee truck decorated with support banners outside the film set.

The banner featured a poster of Kwon Hyun-hyuk and a line of eye-catching text.

[Go team to the entire crew and cast of "Breaking the Tomb," especially our amazing actor Kwon Seon-hyuk! —Kim Yoo-jung cheering!]
Upon seeing Kwon Heon-hyuk, Kim Yoo-jung's smile instantly brightened, even taking on a hint of smugness and affection. She waved vigorously at him and then jogged over with light steps.

"Oppa!" She stopped in front of Kwon Heon-hyuk, looked up at him with bright eyes, and presented the coffee with both hands as if offering a treasure.

"Hurry up and drink your coffee."

The current phenomenal success of "20th Century Girl" has undoubtedly made Kim Yoo-jung extremely happy. Frankly speaking, having one or two successful dramas is enough to maintain stability; without a truly breakout hit, it's impossible to achieve a real breakthrough, whether in terms of popularity or star power. After all, one has already reached a certain level, and these factors can no longer provide further enhancement.

But with only a few blockbuster dramas a year, it's really not enough to make a living.

When Kim Yoo-jung first heard that Kwon Heon-hyuk was in the lead role in this movie, to be honest, it was impossible not to hope that it would be a hit.

But if it really explodes, you'll just feel that everything is just too wonderful, and you have everything you want.

Faced with Quan Xuanhe, who could resist his charms?

Kwon Hyun-hyuk looked at Kim Yoo-jung: "Why did you come here without saying a word?"

Kim Yoo-jung answered in a clear voice, "Our movie is doing so well, and oppa is working so hard filming his new movie, of course I have to come and cheer him on." She tilted her head slightly, her smile carrying a hint of slyness.

"What, I'm here to visit the set, oppa doesn't welcome me?"

"How could that be?" Quan Xuanhe twitched the corner of his mouth, took a sip of coffee, and found the rich flavor to be quite good.

"It was just a bit of a surprise."

Her cheerful and lively personality, along with her down-to-earth attitude, is very endearing.

Kim Yoo-jung naturally took a step closer to Kwon Seon-hyuk: "I saw on the news that oppa went to a concert yesterday?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Hey, oppa, why don't you talk to me when you have time?"

"If I had known, I would have come earlier and stayed a couple more days."

As Kim Yoo-jung spoke, her eyes remained fixed on Kwon Heon-hyuk, trying to find a glimmer of hope in his gaze.

Although the two had been intimate, to be honest, their relationship was quite clear, and Kim Yoo-jung never had a real chance to rise to the top.

But when she truly felt the immense benefits she could gain from being by his side, she naturally became envious, eager to try, and restless.

"You can come over if you have time."

The film's pre-production went well, and since it's currently mid-October, filming is expected to be completed by January next year.

"But you must be pretty busy lately, right?"

Kim Yoo-jung's smile remained as bright and unchanged as ever.

"Actually, it's fine. If oppa wants to see me, I can adjust the time at any time."

Kim Yoo-jung admitted that she didn't have high expectations for her new film, but since she accepted the role before its release, she never expected it to be such a huge hit.

Just as I was about to say something, the stagehand started shouting.

"Xuanhe, get ready to take your positions!" came the stage manager's shout.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk withdrew his gaze and handed the half-finished coffee in his hand to his assistant.

"Oppa's going to film a movie? Fighting!"

"I'll just watch from the side and not say anything to disturb everyone." She pointed to the rest area next door.

"Okay." Quan Xuanhe responded and turned to walk towards the cloth area.

Kim Yoo-jung sat there with her arms crossed, a smile on her face as she watched Kwon Heon-hyuk get into filming.

Time flew by and it was already evening.

Kwon Seon-hyuk finished filming, and Kim Yoo-jung had been waiting for him.

As soon as he finished filming, she immediately came to greet him, and she didn't seem tired at all from waiting for so long. She still looked lively and cheerful.

"Oppa, let's go!"

Looking at Kim Yoo-jung, Kwon Hyun-hyuk slowly nodded.

The hotel room door closed gently behind me, blocking out the light from the corridor.

The noise from the film set and the polite farewells seemed to vanish in an instant, and the air suddenly became thick and intimate.

Kim Yoo-jung entered almost right next to Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

The bright smile she had shown during her visit to the set had completely vanished, replaced by a bolder, more aggressive eagerness.

“Oppa…” Her voice was soft and hoarse. Before Kwon Hyun-hyuk could respond, she had already stretched out her arms and tightly wrapped them around his neck.

The warm breath, carrying her unique sweet fragrance, sprayed onto his jawline and the side of his neck.

Quan Xuanhe took the opportunity to put his arm around her slender waist.

"Don't worry, I just got back."

Although Kwon Heonhyuk was also quite frustrated, he wasn't in such a hurry yet.

He led Kim Yoo-jung to the sofa and they sat down.

Kim Yoo-jung cupped his face in her hands, her thumbs gently stroking his jawline, her eyes filled with undisguised longing and invitation.

Then, she slid down and knelt gracefully on the soft carpet.

She tilted her head back, her eyes shining brightly.

In that very instant—

"Buzzing...buzzing..."

A sudden and continuous vibration, with a dull echo, came from the inside pocket of Quan Xuanhe's coat.

The sound was particularly jarring in the room.

Kim Yoo-jung's movements clearly paused. She raised her eyes, a questioning look flashing in them.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk pulled out his constantly vibrating phone.

Who's so insensitive, delaying his important business?

The screen lit up, and in the dim light of the entryway, the caller ID displayed the name clearly.

It's Sana Minatozaki.

Okay, he had nothing more to say.

Kim Yoo-jung didn't back away; instead, she snuggled even closer to his legs, her cheek gently rubbing against the outside of his thigh, looking up at him with an expression that seemed to say something.

Are you going to answer it? I'm watching.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk didn't hang up the phone; he answered it immediately and pinched Kim Yoo-jung's nape with his other hand, signaling her to be quiet for a moment.

"Hello?" he asked, his voice returning to its usual steady tone, showing no sign of anything amiss.

"Oh, what did you and Tzuyu do last night?" This greeting didn't sound friendly at all.

Upon hearing this, Kwon Hyun-hyuk first looked down at Kim Yoo-jung, only to meet her upturned eyes, which held a sly smile.

Kim Yoo-jung did hear it, but she didn't care at all about the girl mentioned on the phone.

It would be strange if he didn't have women around him; I'm one of them myself, so why should I care about them?

"I didn't do anything, I just slept."

"Eh?"

"Do you want to hear what you have to say?"

Sana Minatosaki was speechless at his outrageous answer, but she was also expressing her slight dissatisfaction.

She hoped that this foolish man would be able to understand at this moment.

“I’m right.”

Just as Quan Xuanhe was about to speak, he felt a warm, enveloping sensation wash over him, causing him to pause involuntarily.

"She was just sleeping, nothing else. She was drunk, she didn't do what you're thinking."

If we didn't have any fire last night, we're going to go all out tonight.

"Hey, you're already asleep. What's the difference between sleeping and not sleeping?"

Sana Minato mumbled something, and all that could be heard was faint breathing from Kwon Seonhyuk's end of the phone.

You've seen all of Chou Tzu-yu, right? Can't you even remember that she's still here?

Are they really treating her like a tool?
