Peninsula: It’s just a dream, are you serious?

Chapter 195 Two Beautiful Japanese Translators

"Sana, hurry up! We're meeting Chen Yan-onii-chan at 10 a.m. If we don't leave now, we might be late."

Inside a dormitory building specifically for JYP trainees, Momo spoke to the bathroom door from inside a room.

The girl said this in Japanese, and although her Japanese didn't sound very fluent, it was still better than her broken Korean.

A response from Sana Minatozaki immediately came from the bathroom: "Okay, I'll be right there."

Upon hearing the reply that she had finished packing and was sitting on her bed waiting for her friend, Momo turned her gaze away and instead glanced around the somewhat empty dormitory room.

Now only the two foreigners are left in the dormitory.

The other roommates are all locals from the peninsula. On their monthly day off, the roommates either go home or go out with friends.

A dozen minutes later, Sana Minato ran out of the bathroom. She only had light makeup on, but it was enough to make her look even more beautiful.

A sixteen-year-old girl in the prime of her youth, her fair face is full of collagen, she doesn't need any elaborate makeup at all.

Sana Minatozaki hurriedly ran to her bedside and packed some things into a small bag.

She slung her bag over her shoulder, then turned and ran to her friend's bedside, grabbed her friend who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and headed for the door.

"Let's go, let's go, Momo, we're running late."

Halfway there, the girl suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, I forgot my keys."

She turned back to get her keys and walked to the door, saying, "Oh dear, I forgot my phone."

Momo blinked her big eyes, watching her friend run around, her expression calm, as if she was already used to the scene before her.

After Sana Minatozaki ran back and forth three times, the two girls finally left the dormitory and headed towards the coffee shop opposite JYP Company.

When she was still some distance away from the coffee shop, Sana Minato saw a familiar figure standing at the entrance.

"Chen Yan oppa~"

Sana Minatozaki subconsciously raised her hand and called out with a smile.

However, when she noticed that everyone walking around nearby was looking in her direction, the girl's face flushed red instantly.

She quickly grabbed Momo's hand, lowered her head slightly, and jogged over.

At the entrance of the coffee shop, Chen Yan heard the girl's voice and turned his gaze from his phone toward the direction from which the voice came.

The first thing you see is two girls running towards you.

Moreover, watching Sana Minatozaki's running posture, his mind subconsciously conjured up images of the running postures of several female protagonists in the few Japanese dramas he had watched.

It's exactly the same as the girl's.

"Phew~ oppa, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Chen Yan smiled and said, "No, I just arrived too."

He had just parked his car in JYP's parking lot and was walking over when the two girls appeared. He glanced at the time and was about to enter the coffee shop when he saw the time.

"Let's go, I've booked a private room."

As Chen Yan ushered the two inside, he casually asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

The two girls exchanged a glance, and Sana Minatozaki honestly replied, "Not yet."

"Is it okay to have some bread from the coffee shop for breakfast?"

"OK."

Sana Minatozaki nodded quickly.

"it is good."

Chen Yan responded and turned to the cashier to order two cheese breads.

"I don't know your coffee preferences, so please order for yourselves."

Seeing that Chen Yan took out a bank card and handed it to the clerk after he finished speaking, Minatozaki Sana quickly said, "Oppa, we can do it ourselves, we have money."

Chen Yan smiled upon hearing this and glanced at the two girls: "I know you and Momo are rich, but I invited you to help me today, so of course I should pay the bill. There's no reason for you to pay." "Okay then."

Seeing this, the girl had no choice but to accept the oppa's kindness and thanked Chen Yan along with Momo beside her.

Chen Yan smiled back, and after the two girls had ordered their coffees, he followed the staff to the private room with them.

The three sat down in the private room, and Chen Yan took out paper and pen from his crossbody bag.

"Nayeon told you guys about this the other day, right? I want you guys to help me translate the lyrics."

"Mmm." The two girls nodded.

"Oppa, what song is it?" Sana Minato asked curiously.

"It's a song I prepared for 2PM's second full-length Japanese album."

Chen Yan handed the two sheets of lyrics to the two girls respectively.

He had the idea to ask the two girls for help after seeing them that day.

As for why they didn't ask the company for help...

It's because I've only been with the company for a short time and haven't built up my network yet. I don't know who to ask for help, and no matter who I ask, it will be a debt of gratitude.

Since Sana Minatozaki and Momo are both Japanese, it would be great if they could help me translate the lyrics when they have time.

I can repay the favors I owe the two trainees.

Moreover, Japan is the largest record market in Asia and the main audience for K-pop.

After thinking about it, Chen Yan realized that if he wanted to go further in the field of music production, he should focus on Japanese songs.

Sana Minatozaki took the lyrics sheet and glanced at the song title.

"So bad".

The girl silently read the song title. Besides the Korean lyrics written by Chen Yan, the lyric sheet also contained the machine-translated Japanese lyrics that he had printed out together.

Machine translation is too stiff and can't be used directly as lyrics, since lyrics are about rhyme.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the clerk brought in the coffee and bread that the three of them had ordered.

Chen Yan smiled at the two of them; "You two eat your bread first, there's no rush with the lyrics."

The two girls nodded, picked up their bread and started eating in small bites. Chen Yan also tried to keep the atmosphere from getting too awkward by chatting with them.

After a quick breakfast, the three of them got down to business.

Chen Yan played the melody for the two girls several times. After they became somewhat familiar with it, he pointed to the first line of the lyrics and asked:
"How would you best translate the line 'I hesitated several times, but your smile never faded' into Japanese lyrics?"

After asking the question, he subconsciously looked at Momo.

The moment their eyes met, the girl blinked her big eyes a few times, her gaze filled with clarity.

Chen Yan blinked unconsciously, waiting for the girl's answer.

The two pairs of big eyes stared at each other, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

"puff"

Nearby, Sana Minatozaki, seeing this quiet yet slightly comical scene, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud.

"Oppa, don't look at Momo like that. She probably didn't understand what you were saying."

"Oh? Oh, I almost forgot, Momo's Korean isn't very fluent yet."

"Well, actually, Momo's Japanese isn't very good either."

"what?"

Chen Yan was dumbfounded.

Isn't Momo a purebred Japanese?
