Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

Chapter 103, waiting online, what to do?

Longshan, R Apartment.

Han Xijun stood in front of the sink, washing things with his back to the living room.

The atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Han Hee-joon regretted watching someone's post online about how to display a reverse charm while he was making the phone call.

With his current persona, once he takes a step forward, there's simply no suitable time to take it back.

The problem is that Han Xijun has no experience in this area.

She simply wanted Wu Haiyuan to see another side of her.

After changing into slippers, Wu Haiyuan walked through the entrance hallway and stood in the middle of the dining room and living room.

He glanced at the kitchen first.

There are bags containing ingredients on the kitchen counter.

Wu Haiyuan immediately understood that Han Xijun had brought him to his home for dinner, and that Han Xijun was personally cooking dinner for him.

Is this the legendary romantic evening for two, a candlelight dinner? Oh no, is he going to confess his feelings?

Wu Haiyuan turned around on the spot.

go?

Keep?

My gaze was inexplicably drawn to the view from the 180-degree floor-to-ceiling window that connects to the living room.

My feet moved uncontrollably toward the balcony.

Wu Haiyuan's mouth was open.

Before me lay a breathtaking view of the Han River.

Just standing there for a moment, Wu Haiyuan set a new goal: to work hard and earn money so that he could buy a luxury apartment with a view of the river in the future.

Wu Haiyuan was startled by the sound of his phone taking a picture and then snapped out of his reverie of the stunning river view.

He muttered to himself, "Wu Haiyuan, you need to cheer up. Is this the time for a photoshoot? We've suddenly been brought home. What are we going to do?" He thought of the other members.

Wu Haiyuan opened a Kakao chat room.

His fingers danced across the phone screen as he edited and sent the message, not forgetting to change the notification sound from ringtone to vibration.

City Cave, JYP Entertainment Company.

The first person to see the Kakao message was the maknae, Jang Kyujin, who was in charge of ordering takeout.

A startled cry escaped Zhang Guizhen's lips: "A major incident!"

This instantly attracted the attention of the other members who were still in the practice room.

"kakao"

The other members each opened Kakao.

Within a minute of entering the chat room, Wu Haiyuan sent a text message that read: "I've been taken to Han Xijun's house. What should I do now? Waiting for an answer online."

Kim Ji-woo gave Lily a thumbs-up and exclaimed, "When did unnie become so smart?"

Lily was the first to suspect that Han Xijun might bring Wu Haiyuan home. Lily asked doubtfully, "Does this have anything to do with intelligence?"

"Of course! How did you figure that out, Unnie?"

Lily said slowly, "You could be recognized in any restaurant, especially in a confession situation. The waiters and chefs will know. That's how it's portrayed in dramas. Besides, Han Xijun and Haiyuan have been trending on social media several times recently."

"Haven't you guys seen 'Full House'? The episode where Rain, playing the star Lee Young-jae, booked out the entire restaurant to confess his feelings to Kang Hye-won."

"So bringing her home is the safest option. In the drama, Rain brought Song Hye-kyo home and they eventually got married."

The members understood.

It's not some meticulous speculation at all; it's just based on the plot of a TV series.

On the other hand, the situations are indeed quite similar.

It's the place where you don't have to worry about being recognized, you can eat there, and it's a private space for two people. There's nowhere else like home.

The question is, why did Wu Haiyuan ask what to do in the chat room?

Kim Ji-woo concluded, "Hae-won unnie might be showing off to us, so let's just ignore it."

Jang Gyu-jin chimed in, "What could Han Hee-joon do to our Hae-won unnie? Could he hurt her? If he wanted to, he would have done it already." Bae Jin-sol nodded and said, "That's right. Hae-won unnie is laying the groundwork, letting us know that she went to Han Hee-joon's house, so that we can be witnesses. Unnie is the first girl to go to Han Hee-joon's house."

Xue Lun'e had just said, "What's wrong with you all?"

Pei Zhenlu put his arm around Xue Lun'e's shoulder and said with a smile, "Xueyun unnie, why aren't you watching the LoL game match today?"

There's no match today.

"You could also watch some previous matches."

"Weren't we talking about Hae-won unnie?"

"Did I say that? What do you mean by 'Hae-won unnie'? We were talking about takeout. It's about time we went back to the dorm. Let's go."

Longshan, R Apartment.

Wu Haiyuan cautiously glanced back.

Han Hee-joon was still "busy" in the kitchen, his back to the living room.

Steak?

If it were Western food, it wouldn't be that complicated. You should be able to hear the sizzling sound of the steak cooking; you can't be washing things all the time. The members are really something.

They must have seen the messages they sent in the chat room, but not a single one of them replied.

Wu Haiyuan felt that he had expressed himself very clearly.

Was Han Hee-joon bringing her home just to celebrate her coming-of-age ceremony?

It's obvious that Han Hee-joon is going to bring up that hypothetical question again, or he's going to "settle accounts" for the lie he told on the show that made him angry.

The members pretended not to see the message.

Recalling that night when Xue Lun'e dragged me to the convenience store to buy drinks, the members spent a few minutes alone with Han Xijun, acting all mysterious.

Was all of this planned in advance?

What about Wu Zhiyuan?

Is this also part of Play's own strategy?

We had arranged to meet for dinner today, and I was really looking forward to receiving my new phone as a gift, but suddenly I had to work and couldn't meet up.

This is completely unlike Wu Zhiyuan's style. The appointment was made a day in advance; Wu Zhiyuan must have arranged the work beforehand. Unless the urgent work was requested by Han Xijun's AI R&D lab with assistance from SK Hynix.

Then another question arises.

How did Han Xijun know in advance that Wu Zhiyuan had arranged to meet him for dinner today to celebrate his coming-of-age ceremony?

Or perhaps, Wu Zhiyuan contacted Han Xijun?

Did the two exchange contact information?

Wu Haiyuan had no recollection of giving Han Xijun his business card before they parted ways after dinner. However, Han Xijun did not bring his business card that night, nor did he manually enter his phone number to exchange contact information.

I considered many possibilities, but none of them seemed very likely.

But the feeling that we were being "set up" persisted.

yah~

The sound of frying meat reached Wu Haiyuan's ears.

Turn your head.

Sure enough, Han Xijun was seen using tongs to grill meat. My gaze shifted to the dining table.

Fortunately, there were no candles or red wine on the table.

So it seems like it's not about confessing feelings, or maybe it's not about getting the answer to that question.

It might just turn into a "settling of scores".

For example, he only cooked one steak for Han Xijun, and then sat across from him, watching him slowly savor the food.

he knows.

He must know that he has no resistance to delicious food.
