Peninsula: From Water Injection to Stardom

"Huh?! The female lead in the music video?!"

Before Mina could respond, Sana Minato exclaimed in surprise.

"Actually, it's like this..."

Last night on Kakao, Jiang Yan didn't explain in detail to Minatozaki Sana, so now he patiently told the three of them briefly about his upcoming re-debut.

"Is it okay to tell us something so important ahead of time?" Sana Minatozaki looked slightly surprised upon hearing the news.

"It's okay, the official announcement will probably be made soon, so there's no harm in telling you." Jiang Yan shrugged indifferently.

It's not a big deal to tell people in the industry in advance, but whether they're willing to tell you or not depends on their mood.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone else," Hirai Momo patted her chest and made a solemn promise.

Jiang Yan glanced at her, smiled, and said nothing.

This silly peach is probably being tricked into saying something and it will take her a long time to realize it. It would be a miracle if she could keep it a secret.

Then Sana Minatozaki asked, "So, why did Hiko-san want to find Mitan?"

Jiang Yan said with a smile, "When I was struggling to find the female lead for the MV, Jeongyeon told me that there was a very beautiful trainee in her company who she couldn't forget after just one look."

"At the time, I was wondering what kind of person could leave such a deep impression on her, and today, after discovering that this person was actually Mina-san, whom I had met once before, I suddenly completely understood Jeongyeon's feelings."

However, as Mina sat quietly listening to Jiang Yan's praise, the word "liar" involuntarily popped into her mind.

Because she clearly remembered that when the two first met at the elevator entrance, Jiang Yan saw her and walked past her without any reaction on his face.

He didn't even glance at her.

"So... he was just being polite."

Mina unconsciously pursed her lips, her mood not quite right.

But he wasn't the only one in a bad mood at the moment.

After hearing Jiang Yan praise Mina so highly, Sana Minato felt a slight pang of jealousy.

Jiang Yan was obviously unaware of the emotional changes in the two Japanese girls. After explaining to Minatozaki Sana, he turned his gaze back to her.

"So, Mina-san, what do you think? Are you willing to accept my invitation?"

Jiang Yan believed that after saying the polite words, the matter was basically settled, and the questioning now was just a formality.

However, what Mina said next completely exceeded his expectations.

"Guomei, I need to think about this some more."

As Mina answered softly, her eyes were also observing the other person's reaction after hearing her words.

To her disappointment, Jiang Yan's face remained unchanged after hearing her answer.

"It's okay, just let me know when you've thought it through."

Jiang Yan didn't think much of it. Although he was a little surprised that Mina didn't agree directly, he simply attributed it to the fact that it was their first formal meeting and their relationship was relatively unfamiliar.

However, he always left himself a way out, so after hearing this answer, he quietly turned his head to glance at Minatozaki Sana beside him.

In that instant, I had already made a Plan B in my mind.

If Mina doesn't agree in the end, then we can invite Sana Minatozaki to be the female lead in the music video instead.

As for Hirai Momo, perhaps it's Plan C.

However, Mina happened to see Jiang Yan turn his head away for a moment, and her keen intuition immediately understood the meaning behind the action.

……

Despite the unsuccessful meeting, Jiang Yan still chatted with the three Japanese girls for a long time.

However, since they have a practice class this afternoon, it's time for them to part ways.

"Mina-san, how about we add each other on Kakao? Just send me a message when you've made up your mind."

Before leaving, Jiang Yan took out his phone and offered to add him as a friend.

Upon hearing this, Mina nodded slightly and took out her phone.

The two quickly added each other as friends in person.

After putting their phones back in their pockets, the four of them stood up in unison and left the coffee shop together.

See you next time, bye-bye.

Bye-bye~

After saying goodbye at the store entrance, the three Japanese girls turned around and left first, heading back to the JYP building.

After glancing at their departing figures, Jiang Yan turned and walked towards the Cube building.

After returning, he did not go to the studio, but went directly to a practice room on the third floor.

Although the title track has been decided, the corresponding choreography has not yet been arranged.

So for the next two days, he will be choreographing "I Am You, You Are Me" in this practice room.

The dance moves aren't very complicated, since this song isn't a dance track.

As for the backup dancers when they appear on music shows, they certainly won't hire a professional backup dancer team in order to reduce costs.

The arrangement Yuehua Entertainment made for him was to select a few members from the Cosmic Girls, who had not yet debuted, to be his backup dancers.

So after he finishes choreography, he will have to go to the Starship to rehearse with them.

While Jiang Yan was choreographing in front of the mirror, the three members of the Sakura Line had already returned to the practice room.

However, the teacher for the practice class hadn't arrived yet, so the three of them did some stretching exercises to warm up.

While doing lunges and stretching her legs, Sana Minatozaki turned to Mina MAI and asked curiously, "MITAN, what are you thinking?"

Her question caused Mina, who had just finished a set of neck circles, to pause for a moment before softly asking in return, "So, if it were you, how would you answer?"

Without hesitation, Sana Minatozaki replied, "Of course I'd say yes."

Mina looked at the other person's unwavering expression and her gaze lingered.

She recalled how Jiang Yan had turned to look at Minatozaki Sana when she had said she needed to consider it.

Meanwhile, Momo Hirai, having finished her shoulder stretches, turned around with an envious expression and chimed in, "Satan was the female lead in GOT7's music video before, and Mitan has received an invitation now. When will it be my turn?"

"Haha, Momoring, don't be discouraged. Maybe if a senior colleague comes back to the company next time, they'll ask you for help," Sana Minatozaki said with a smile, trying to comfort her.

"The probability is very low. My relationship with those seniors is just so-so. I might not even be as familiar with Yan-sang as I am."

Hirai Momo shook her head. She was very self-aware and knew that even if she had the opportunity, her chances of being selected were very low.

After saying that, she turned to Mina and asked, "Mitan, when do you plan to reply to him?"

"I don't know... Let me think about it."

Mina spoke calmly, but as she did so, her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Sana Minatozaki…
