Peninsula: I created the golden age of girl groups

Kim Tae-yeon subconsciously turned her head away, guiltily avoiding Tiffany's gaze, her eyes darting around, inwardly screaming:

Think fast, you stubborn fool!

Unfortunately, her mind was completely blank, as if it had been completely disconnected, and she was not responding at all.

Tiffany seemed to realize something as well, crossed her arms, and stepped forward suspiciously, pacing back and forth in front of Taeyeon, her sharp eyes scanning her.

The air in the living room lingered for a moment.

Only Taeyeon's heavy breathing echoed incessantly...

"Um... um..."

After what seemed like an eternity, Kim Tae-yeon finally managed to speak, attempting to break the suffocating silence, "Just... just now... it was raining heavily outside, you know? It was so heavy."

Tiffany nodded in confusion, her thoughts immediately drifting away. "Yeah, I know. It's so noisy, it kept me up all night."

But her gaze remained fixed on Taeyeon as she pressed on, "And then? Didn't you say you went for a late-night snack? What does the rain have to do with it?"

"And then...and then..."

Kim Tae-yeon felt like her CPU was about to burn out.

The next second, a name popped into her mind, "And then... I ran into Professor Yoo Young-jin!"

"Teacher Yu Yongzhen?"

Now it was Tiffany's turn to feel like her brain wasn't working properly. "Weren't you going out for a late-night snack? How did you end up talking about teachers again?"

"It's because it's raining!"

Kim Tae-yeon seemed to have grasped at a straw, her face full of self-righteousness, "I, I didn't bring an umbrella, and it was raining so hard... Just then, Teacher Yoo Young-jin drove by! He saw that I was alone and soaked in the rain, and he was worried that I would get cold and catch a cold, which would affect my practice, so he kindly drove me back, and... he even lent me his jacket to wear!"

Before she could finish speaking, Taeyeon's heart was already pounding.

It's no secret that Yoo Young-jin has become a workaholic.

It's perfectly reasonable for him to still be hanging around the company late at night.

Besides, given his intimidating personality, Pani would never go to verify it.

Perfect! Flawless!

Kim Tae-yeon, you're a genius!

"Oh... I see..."

Tiffany's doubts subsided somewhat, and she nodded, seemingly accepting the explanation.

Seeing this, Kim Tae-yeon was just about to breathe a sigh of relief...

"Wait, something's not right!"

Tiffany suddenly cried out again.

"Uh...cough, cough cough!"

Kim Tae-yeon felt like she was stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down, and almost choked to death.

Please!

Why can't you just say everything at once?

My heart can't take it!

Tiffany stepped forward and pointed to the coat she was wearing. "Teacher, you're almost forty years old, and your usual style is quite conservative, very... well, usually classic styles. Why are you wearing such a... youthful coat? It doesn't look like a teacher's clothes at all!"

Tonight, she displayed an unusual sharpness in catching someone cheating... no, in uncovering the truth.

"Well, that might be because..."

Kim Tae-yeon's brain was once again forced to work overtime, and she stammered, "Maybe the teacher wants to look younger? I told you, right? The song 'Reunion,' and the young musician behind it, senior Kang Woo-hyuk!"

Tiffany nodded blankly.

This was no secret among the girls.

Tiffany, of course, knew this too.

Tiffany nodded, the doubt still lingering in her eyes. "And then? What does this have to do with the teacher's coat?"

She really couldn't stand this coat today.

"So that's why!" Kim Tae-yeon spread her hands, speaking matter-of-factly, "Teacher's been spending a lot of time with him lately, you know, spending so much time together, maybe Teacher's aesthetic sense has been influenced a bit, and she wants to look younger?"

Even she herself felt a little guilty saying that.

But unexpectedly... Tiffany actually believed it.

She believed it!

"Oh...I see!"

Tiffany nodded with a look of sudden realization, her eyes crinkling slightly with a smile. "As expected of Taeyeon, she figured it out right away!"

"Of course!"

Kim Tae-yeon straightened her chest, which wasn't actually there, and tried her best to remain calm.

It's a good thing it was Pani; if it were anyone else... it might not have been so easy to fool them.

Hey, how can it be considered a bluff?

Whatever, whatever!

"Oh, it's so late, and you were caught in the rain earlier..."

Tiffany then noticed the time and turned her concern to Taeyeon, "Go take a hot shower quickly, don't catch a cold. You have practice tomorrow."

"Okay, okay! Tiffany, you should go to sleep too! Goodnight!"

Kim Tae-yeon felt like she had been granted a pardon, nodded hurriedly, and then quickly slipped back to her room, closing the door behind her.

Leaning against the door, she finally let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if all her strength had been drained away.

However, before she could even catch her breath...

"Click".

The door was pushed open again.

Tiffany peeked in with a smile.

Kim Tae-yeon's heart jumped to her throat. "Pa...Tiffany, is there anything else?"

"What is it? Going to sleep!" Tiffany replied matter-of-factly.

Kim Tae-yeon then came to her senses.

Yeah, they're roommates, isn't it normal for Tiffany to go back to her own room?

Tiffany looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Taeyeon, what are you standing here for? Hurry up and get ready, go get some rest."

"...Yes." Kim Tae-yeon replied weakly.

She hurriedly grabbed her pajamas and towel and rushed into the bathroom.

Tiffany stared at the coat casually tossed aside, her dazed expression fading. "Professor Yoo Young-jin's...coat?"

"Really?"

……

By the time Jiang Yuhe returned to his apartment, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

He had planned to go to rest immediately, but after a quick wash, he was able to shake off his drowsiness and felt much more awake.

Thinking that he didn't have any definite plans for tomorrow, he casually slumped on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and habitually tuned it to MBC.

The screen is replaying "HIT".

This crime drama, which MBC had high hopes for and hoped would inherit the popularity of "Jumong," has only achieved mediocre ratings since its release in mid-March.

It completely lacks the overwhelming, kingly aura that it displayed when "Jumong" aired last year.

Currently, the drama series "My Man's Woman," which airs concurrently on SBS, firmly holds the top spot in the Monday-Tuesday drama ratings across major television networks.

However, it's normal to lose.

After all, the screenwriter of "My Man's Woman" is Kim Soo-hyun, uh... not that scumbag Kim Soo-hyun who collapsed into ruins.

Born in 1934, she is hailed as the godmother of Korean dramas.

Their specialty is family dramas, which are very popular with housewives.

Her representative work, "What is Love?", is hailed as the progenitor of Korean family dramas, achieving a viewership rating of over 50%. However, Chinese audiences may be more familiar with her other classic work, "Men of the Bath House".

It seems that MBC's hopes of continuing its dominance in Monday-Tuesday dramas with "HIT" have been largely dashed.

Jiang Yuhe stared absently at the scene on the television, a vague premonition creeping into his heart.

The movie I'm in, "Coffee Prince," will soon begin filming, joining the ratings battle.

Although there isn't much information leaked yet, other TV stations will obviously make corresponding arrangements. It's just unknown what kind of drama will be competing against them...

This competition looks like it's going to be quite fierce.

Just staring at it aimlessly, before I knew it, weariness crept over me again.

Especially the interjections like "shiba" and "ya" in the show, they are particularly hypnotic.

Unbeknownst to him, Jiang Yuhe's hand holding the remote control slowly fell down, and his head, which was leaning against the sofa, gradually tilted to one side.

Finally, I fell into a deep sleep.
