Peninsula: I created the golden age of girl groups

The lingering effects gradually faded, eventually returning to calm.

Neither of them spoke immediately, but remained immersed in the world created by the melody, unwilling to pull themselves away.

Just then, Jiang Yuhe's phone rang.

It's So-yeon.

Kang Woo-hyuk immediately answered the phone, "Hello, So-yeon?"

"Oppa, I'm all set now, come out now, where are you?" Soyeon's voice was soft, without much emotional fluctuation.

Or perhaps, they are trying their best to suppress it.

"I've arrived, at the usual spot."

Jiang Yuhe said in a low voice, "Just wait for me at the dormitory entrance. I'm coming now."

"Okay, sure."

After hanging up the phone, Kang Woo-hyuk looked at Kwon Yu-ri standing to the side.

She had already stood up, and before Jiang Yuhe could speak, she took the initiative to say, "Then I'll go with you, senior. I also want to... personally see Soyeon unnie off, is that alright?"

"Okay, let's go together!" Jiang Yuhe nodded, without refusing.

The two then got up and walked towards the dormitory building.

Not far away, I saw a familiar figure standing in front of the dormitory, with two rather large suitcases beside him and a bulging backpack on his back, looking around by the roadside.

It was Park So-yeon.

When she saw the two people approaching, she was clearly taken aback. "Oppa? Yuri? You two... how come you're together?"

Kwon Yuri jogged forward and naturally took Park Soyeon's arm, her voice slightly choked, "Unnie... I just happened to run into Kang Woo-hyuk sunbaenim nearby. So... I thought I'd come and see you off together."

As she spoke, her eyes visibly began to redden.

The real feeling of parting finally surged up at this moment.

Soyeon looked at Yuri trying to hold back her tears, and her nose also tingled.

But she took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed her surging emotions.

For her, the most painful moment was undoubtedly when she made up her mind to leave.

Now that she has made her decision, all she can do is move forward and not look back!

"fool."

Soyeon reached out and gently ruffled Kwon Yuri's hair. "Why are you crying? Unnie, I'm just moving to a different place and continuing on the path I'm meant to walk. But you guys are different. You're going to stand on the biggest stage, so you have to do your best, okay? No matter where I am in the future, I'll be watching you from below and applauding you!"

The more Soyeon said this, the more Yuri couldn't hold back her tears.

Tears welled up in her eyes. She rushed forward, hugged Su-yeon tightly, buried her face in her shoulder, and murmured a soft "hmm."

Su-yeon also raised her arm and gently wrapped it around her, softly stroking her back.

Once she calmed down, the two of them walked hand in hand to the side and whispered to each other.

Jiang Yuhe wisely refrained from disturbing them.

Looking at the two figures beside him, he was filled with mixed emotions.

One is a member of Girls' Generation, the future top group; the other is the soul vocalist who brought T-ara to the top...

Even to him, who knew the future, this scene was filled with an indescribable sense of destiny.

And...sigh.

After an unknown amount of time, Soyeon gently patted Yuri and pushed her away.

He wiped away her tears again before turning to Jiang Yuhe and saying, "Oppa, let's go."

"Um."

Jiang Yuhe nodded, then stepped forward, took her luggage, and turned to nod to Yuri beside him.

Yuri quickly straightened up and bowed deeply to Kang Woo-hyuk. "Senior, I'm... counting on you, Soyeon unnie!"

Don't worry.

Jiang Yuhe smiled and said, "I'll take good care of her!"

He paused, his gaze falling on Yuri's tear-streaked face. After thinking for a moment, he softly added, "As for you... go back and get some rest. There's still a long road ahead, and your health is the most important thing."

"Yes!" Yuri nodded vigorously.

"Alright, let's go home early."

Soyeon shook Yuri's hand one last time, and the two left without lingering, dragging their luggage in the direction the car was parked.

After walking a few steps, Soyeon turned around and waved to Kwon Yuri again.

Kwon Yuri stood there, staring blankly as the two figures disappeared, feeling inexplicably lost.

So-yeon's departure was one aspect, but more importantly, the familiar melody that lingered in her ears quietly resurfaced in her heart at this moment.

She had practiced this song for a long time, and although the version that Jiang Yuhe hummed was somewhat different from the version they practiced, she quickly memorized it, even more so than the version they practiced.

As she pondered this, she unconsciously began to hum a tune, slowly walking towards her dormitory as she did so.

the strange thing is.

My heavy heart suddenly felt lighter as the melody played.

Even all negative emotions, as if accompanied by the song, completely dissipated without a trace.

……

After putting the luggage in the trunk, Jiang Yuhe opened the passenger door and let Suyan sit down. Then he carefully bent down and helped her fasten her seatbelt.

"Fasten your seatbelt. You know how traffic is in Seoul at this time of day. It's probably going to be a hassle again."

So-yeon blushed slightly, turned her head away, and muttered softly, "I know, I'm not a child, I can tie it myself."

Jiang Yuhe seemed not to hear her complaint, smiled slightly, and returned to the driver's seat.

Soyeon then turned her head, looking around at the car's interior, and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Wow! Amazing! I just noticed, when did our Woo-hyuk start driving such a nice car? Looks like he's doing pretty well lately!"

Jiang Yuhe skillfully started the car and turned on the heater.

Hearing this, she hummed along, "This is nothing. Just wait and see, there'll be even better things to come."

The car smoothly entered the traffic.

Su-yeon also quieted down, staring blankly at the rapidly receding street scene outside the window, before speaking again after a long while.

"By the way, how did your audition go? I've been busy packing, communicating with the company, and... things at home, so I haven't had a chance to ask you properly. Miane."

"What are you saying!"

Jiang Yuhe pursed his lips, looking relaxed, and said, "It's going quite smoothly. The feedback from both the screenwriter and the director has been very good. Now we're just waiting for their notification, but I personally feel... there shouldn't be any major problems!"

"real?"

Su-yeon's eyes immediately lit up.

"Wow! Our Yuhe is really going to become an actor! When he becomes a big star, don't forget he has me as his friend!"

"I can't forget it."

Jiang Yuhe laughed, gripping the steering wheel, and half-jokingly said, "At worst, I'll support you. Didn't I already say that?"

Su-yeon was stunned for a moment, and a blush immediately spread across her face.

She quickly turned her head away, hiding her face in the shadows. After a few seconds, she came back to her senses and punched Jiang Yuhe with a look of embarrassment and annoyance.

"Hey! Jiang Yuhe! You again! Who...who asked you to support them! Just drive your car properly! And is your heater too high? I feel so hot!"

Jiang Yuhe laughed and then turned the heating down a notch.

He stopped teasing her, lightly pressed the accelerator, and sped off towards Anyang City in Gyeonggi Province.
