Peninsula: The Deepest Affection in Jiangnan

"Don't move, 3, 2, 1, all done!"

"Click."

"Sizzle~"

Sitting on the carousel, Park So-hyun accepted the Polaroid film handed to her by Shen Yu, placed it in her palm, and clasped her hands together.

Are you happy?

Listening to the music on the carousel, Park So-hyun, sitting on it, smiled and nodded.

Where are you going tomorrow?

"We'll still be here in Haeundae tomorrow," Park So-hyun replied.

Shen Yu understood that she probably didn't have concert tickets, so she planned to watch LivePlay at Haeundae.

The two got off the carousel and sat together on a bench.

"So when are you leaving?" Park So-hyun asked, holding Shim Yu's Pocket 3. At this moment, she became the protagonist of this vlog.

"I?"

Shen Yu took out a box of photographic paper. "I'll take pictures of this box of photographic paper and then leave."

"oh."

"..." Shen Yu didn't speak, and slowly installed the photographic paper.

"Could you film it a little slower?" Park So-hyun's eyes were gentle.

"Do you want to stay with me a little longer?"

"Yes." The answer was crisp and decisive.

"Is it that direct?"

"What else?" Park So-hyun raised the camera and chose an angle that was perfect for a selfie for the two of them.

Let's take a break and continue the hike.

"So you're not going tomorrow?" The conversation was now in Park So-hyun's hands.

"Where to?"

"Let's go to Haeundae."

"Um, the Busan Asian Games main stadium, right?"

"right."

"Please fasten your seatbelts!" Shen Yu tried not to turn his head to look at the person next to him, "and then sit tight and hold on."

The car started.

As Shen Yu walked out of the parking lot, he realized that he had made a mistake.

"Shouldn't I be the one fastening your seatbelt?"

"Ah~" Park Sohyun said cheerfully, "It's okay, you don't have a chance."

"Then I should create an opportunity, like saying I want to go to the dressing room or something."

"The dressing room is over there."

Park So-hyun took out her phone and connected to the car's Bluetooth. "You can still make it now. I'll wait for you."

"...I mean, pretend."

"Oh, oh." She was so focused on choosing songs that she didn't pay attention to what Shen Yu said.

The song playing from the speaker wasn't a popular hit, but rather a somewhat niche song called "We Fell in Love in October".

This is a lo-fi rock song without a complicated bridge.

When the song reached its loop, Shen Yu and Park So-hyun sang it together.

Park So-hyun gently shook her head.

"Is this song selection trying to explain something?"

"What does that mean?"

"What does that mean? Someone's interested." Shen Yu's gaze remained fixed on the driveway, without looking away.

"oh."

Park So-hyun fell silent for a moment.

"So, are you tempted?" After saying that, she smiled and looked at the gimbal camera she was holding.

Park So-hyun seemed to be deliberately recording this scene.

Why did you agree to go to the Busan Stadium with me?

Shen Yu quickly changed the subject.

Aren't you afraid?

"You're alone too, and so am I," Park Sohyun's lips always curled into a smile. "Why be afraid?"

"Oh, it's just because there was only one person there."

Shen Yu nodded, pretending not to care.

Park So-hyun's gaze lingered on the rearview mirror, on Shen Yu's eyes.

"Well, we can't all go together, can we?"

"..."

"Okay, shall we go to Guang'an Lane?"

"Because you're my apprentice!" he said matter-of-factly.

Park So-hyun said seriously, "I'm here to teach you photography, right?"

"Is it still the same now?"

"Now?" She twirled a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Let's get closer now."

"What if we get even closer after going to the Busan Stadium?"

"Maybe."

"Shall we go?"

"Why not go?"

"OK," Shen Yu said, staring at the lane, "I'm flooring the gas!"

Park So-hyun glanced at him and laughed.

*

When will we be able to hear you sing again?

The songs were changed one after another.

"Me?" Park So-hyun pointed to herself. "I'm embarrassed."

"What's there to be ashamed of?"

"You sang badly."

"It's precisely because it sounds unpleasant that it's invigorating," Shen Yu said, looking at the darkening sky.

"Let me look for it." Park Sohyun scrolled through her phone and found a song. "This one will do."

"There are three little bears living in one house."

"Papa Bear, Mama Bear, Baby Bear~"

"..."

Why are you singing children's songs?
