Peninsula: From a supporting actor to the best actor in Chungmuro

Chapter 82 The Visiting Plan Starts
Rest area on the set of "The Heirs".

Kang Jae-hoon sat on a folding chair, holding the script in his hand, but from time to time he glanced at Kim Ji-won and Krystal Jung who were filming opposite him.

Lee Bo Na, played by Krystal Jung, is standing with her hands on her hips, glaring angrily at Liu Rachel, played by Kim Ji Won, as the two are filming an argument scene.

Jiang Zaixun was so engrossed in watching that the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose——

(Even when Soojung is angry, she’s so cute.)
His cell phone suddenly vibrated, interrupting his thoughts.

The screen lights up——

[Lin Yuna]: Jaehoon, I'm so sorry, I have a sudden autograph session in Japan this weekend and have to leave early, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go house hunting (crying emoji)

【Lin Yuna】: I’m really sorry (folded hands emoji)

[Lin Yuna]: As compensation, I will bring you a gift when I come back~
[Lin Yuna]: What do you want?
Jiang Jae-hoon stared at the screen for two seconds, then replied:
[Kang Jae-hoon]: It’s okay, work is important!
[Kang Jae-hoon]: As a souvenir... Would you like a Sensoji amulet?

After posting it, I felt a little embarrassed and quickly added:
[Kang Jae-hoon]: If it’s inconvenient, forget it!

The other party quickly replied:

[Lin Yuna]: Of course it's convenient~ Which one do you want? Safety? Career? Or...love amulet?
Jiang Zaixun stared at the words "Love Amulet" on the phone screen, and suddenly several images flashed through his mind -

Krystal's eyelashes trembled slightly when she was kissing on the rooftop.

The back of Lee Sung-kyung wearing an apron while frying an egg.

Lin Yuna smiled gently and looked at his expression.

He shook his head violently, as if trying to get rid of these images from his mind.

(Are you crazy?)
(What are you thinking about…)
Quickly typed reply:
[Jiang Jae-hoon]: Just guard your career, thank you Yoona~
Just as I pressed the send button, a shadow suddenly fell over my head.

"Is your cervical spondylosis acting up?"

Krystal Jung stood in front of him at some point, tilting her head to observe his head-shaking movements.

Jiang Zaixun hurriedly put his phone into his pocket:
"No, no!"

"Oh."

Zheng Xiujing sat down on the folding chair next to him, picked up the script on his lap and flipped through it, and asked casually:

"If you have nothing to do this afternoon, would you like to review the radio script in advance?"

Jiang Zaixun was stunned:
"Uh, I'm afraid not in the afternoon..."

"Is something wrong?"

"Go shoot a music video for Bible..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Krystal's fingers that were turning the page suddenly stopped.

The air froze for three seconds.

"Oh."

She snapped the script shut, and the chair made a harsh scraping sound as she stood up.
"then you go."

Jiang Zaixun sat there in a daze: "......?"

The phone suddenly vibrated again -

[Lin Yuna]: Received the career amulet~
[Lin Yuna]: Oh right, good luck on the radio station, I'll listen to it~
In the distance, Kim Ji-won jogged to catch up with Krystal Jung, and their backs quickly disappeared around the corner of the set.

Jiang Zaixun looked down at his watch——

There are still four hours left until the MV shooting.

(It’s over…)
At this moment, he experienced for the first time what it meant to be "sitting on pins and needles".

……

In the bathroom on the set.

Zheng Xiujing slammed the door shut, put her hands on the sink, and stared at herself in the mirror——

(Fool……)
(Why are you angry?)
The faucet was turned on.

The cold water splashed over my fingers, but it couldn't extinguish the inexplicable irritability in my chest.

The sound of running water masked the sound of the door being pushed open, until Jin Zhiyuan's voice suddenly sounded behind him -

"Pabhu!"

Krystal was so frightened that water splashed onto the front of her shirt.

She hurriedly turned off the tap:
"Why are you walking so quietly?"

Jin Zhiyuan locked the door behind her:

"Why didn't you say 'I'll accompany you' just now?!"

"what?"

"Ah for what!"

Jin Zhiyuan poked her forehead in frustration:
"He's going to shoot a music video, and you just say you want to go and observe and learn. Isn't that a natural progression for him to go along?"

"..."

Zheng Xiujing opened her mouth and suddenly realized——

(Yes...)
(Why didn’t I think of that?) She shook off the water droplets on her hands and said stubbornly:
"What can we do by following the past?"

Jin Zhiyuan rolled her eyes and began to count on her fingers:

"The radio station starts at 11pm, so he has at least two hours of free time between filming the music video and going to the radio station."

"Eat at a roadside stall, watch the night view, take a walk..."

Kim Ji-won became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes becoming increasingly ambiguous:

"The atmosphere is right, maybe we can..."

"Ah! Shut up!"

Zheng Xiujing suddenly covered Jin Zhiyuan's mouth:

"What's going on in your head all day?"

With her mouth covered, Kim Ji-won's eyes curved into crescents as she continued to mumble incoherently:

"Mmmmm--(I'm thinking about things you dare not think about!)"

Krystal let go of her hand, turned around angrily, and fixed her hair in front of the mirror, pretending not to understand her hint.

Her cheeks were still faintly pink in the mirror, and her eyelashes were trembling slightly, obviously she was uneasy.

Jin Zhiyuan leaned against the sink and looked at her with her head tilted:
"So, are you going or not?"

“…and I don’t know where the filming took place.”

"Hehe~"

Jin Zhiyuan took out her cell phone and shook it——

【三成洞 COEX 3号棚｜15:00-19:00｜李圣经（Feat.姜在勋）MV拍摄】

"..."

Zheng Xiujing stared at Jin Zhiyuan's phone screen, her pupils slightly dilated: "How...how did you get it?"

"Don't worry about it."

Jin Zhiyuan puffed out her chest confidently: "Besides, who am I worrying about?"

"..."

"Some people say they don't care, but they're really jealous, right?"

"Who is jealous!"

That being said, Zheng Xiujing's mind couldn't help but emerge the photo of Jiang Zaixun and Lin Yuner at the radio station——

The two of them sat side by side in front of the anchor desk, smiling at the camera so naturally and in perfect harmony.

(How long have they known each other?)
(Then wouldn’t it be… if he and Lee Sung Kyung filmed a music video?)
This thought was like a tiny thorn, gently piercing my heart.

The brows in the mirror unconsciously furrowed even tighter.

Jin Zhiyuan keenly caught the change in her expression and suddenly lowered her voice:

"Hey, you're not worried."

"no!"

Zheng Xiujing interrupted her reflexively, then realized that she was overreacting, and her voice immediately weakened:

“I’m just… curious about the content of the music video.”

"Oh~"

Kim Ji-won drawled her tone meaningfully:

"Then you have to go and see it in person, right?"

She took Zheng Xiujing's hand without saying anything:
"Let's go."

"and many more!"

Krystal struggled to pull her hand back: "I, I didn't agree to go!"

Kim Ji-won put her hands on her hips:
"So what are you going to do? Just sit here and let your mind wander all afternoon?"

"..."

The bathroom fell into a brief silence.

The faucet was not closed tightly, and the sound of dripping water was particularly clear in the quiet space.

Zheng Xiujing stared at the rippling water in the sink and suddenly asked in a low voice:

"Jiwon-unnie."

"Ok?"

"Will I be too obvious?"

Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Kim Ji-won was stunned for a moment, then smiled gently. She reached out and ruffled Krystal's hair, as if she were treating an uneasy little animal.
"Pabhu, liking someone is something you can't hide."
