Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

Is it out of sympathy?

maybe.

Han Xijun felt that Zhang Yuanying was working alone to reclaim her original self, which is why he was willing to help her.

Han Xijun had considered that Zhang Yuanying knew her situation and could choose to leave.

She is still young and has the opportunity to choose a new path in life.

Her family background wasn't the kind that required her to enter the workforce early to earn money and pay off debts; on the contrary, she was from a wealthy family.

She could quit being an idol, study abroad, or stay in Seoul and run a business that interests her.

Singing and dancing—she has already realized these dreams on stage.

If you can't be the leading lady in five dramas, becoming a businesswoman who shocks society in the same way is also a life choice.

But Zhang Yuanying chose to persevere.

Perhaps it's because they've laid out plans and worked so hard for so long, and seeing hope and a glimmer of light, that they're unwilling to give up.

It's normal. Many people, after seeing a glimmer of hope, will strive to reach that tiny hope, thinking, "What if it comes true?" This is a positive and energetic mindset. Han Xijun had decided that if Zhang Yuanying wanted to leave with him earlier, he would definitely take her with him.

the other side.

Night falls.

To be precise, Myeongdong, Hongdae, Apgujeong and other places started to get lively from around 5 pm.

There were long queues outside many barbecue restaurants and beer houses.

Later in the evening, places like Itaewon will also become lively.

At the entrance of JYP Entertainment Company in the city.

Wu Zhiyuan was chatting with the security guard.

The last time she drove here, this same security guard told her that her mother and Han Xijun had just driven away.

The security guard asked, "Are you really Wu Haiyuan's older sister?"

Wu Zhiyuan said, "Really? Don't they look alike?"

The security guard was a little shy in front of Wu Zhiyuan, scratching his head and saying, "Not really, you're prettier." Wu Zhiyuan smiled happily.

The security team has good judgment.

She looks to be only in her mid-30s, probably still single, and has a high EQ.

"Unnie"

Wu Haiyuan has been released.

He called out when he saw Wu Zhiyuan chatting with the security guard from afar.

Company policy dictates that unless there is an appointment, external vehicles and visitors are not allowed to enter.

That's why Wu Haiyuan called out "Unnie" – she wanted the security guards to know that the person at the door was her sister, so they wouldn't make things difficult for Wu Zhiyuan.

I walked quickly to the front door.

After nodding and greeting the security guard, Wu Haiyuan called out "Unnie" again.

Wu Zhiyuan put his arm around Wu Haiyuan's shoulder, leaned closer, and asked the security guard, "Doesn't it look like it at all?" The security guard smiled and shook his head.

Wu Haiyuan was confused, and then heard Wu Zhiyuan ask, "Am I prettier?"

To Wu Haiyuan's dismay, the security guard nodded.

Then he gave himself an apologetic look.

What's going on here?

Wu Zhiyuan put his arm around Wu Haiyuan's shoulder, said goodbye to the security guard, and then turned and walked towards the side of the road where the car was parked.

There's an intersection ahead, and there are quite a few pedestrians on the road at this time.

Suppressing his various questions, Wu Haiyuan quickened his pace to the car, opened the door, and got inside.

Once Wu Zhiyuan got into the car and fastened his seatbelt, Wu Haiyuan immediately bombarded him with a series of questions.

Wu Zhiyuan calmly fastened his seatbelt, smiling triumphantly at Wu Haiyuan, and said, "What? Are you jealous because you heard I'm prettier than you?"

Wu Haiyuan laughed and said, "Why would I be jealous? Is Unnie just spreading her charm everywhere?"

Wu Zhiyuan's line, "Can't I exude charm? I've also been single since birth. You have a boyfriend now, and I want to have one too," clearly indicates that he'll bring up Han Xijun.

Wu Haiyuan urged, "Let's drive! Where should we eat?"

"I've made an appointment."

We set off by car.

What was unusual was that Wu Zhiyuan didn't ask anything on the way. He just connected his phone via Bluetooth and repeatedly played nmixx's debut single.

Wu Haiyuan couldn't listen to it anymore.

Wu Zhiyuan is definitely not a fan of nmixx. Her sudden and repeated listening to nmixx's debut song must have some other purpose.

Unable to contain himself, Wu Haiyuan asked first, "What does Unnie want?"

Wu Zhiyuan retorted, "What can you give me?"

"I don't know."

"Ah, you've given me a brother-in-law. Thank you, my dearest sister."

Wu Haiyuan immediately shut up. There was a bit of traffic.

However, the place to eat is only a ten-minute drive from JYP Entertainment.

n brand chain Korean beef stores.

The car came to a stop. Wu Haiyuan, who was in the passenger seat, did not unbuckle his seatbelt. He turned to look at Wu Zhiyuan and said, "Unnie is going to such lengths. I'm really uneasy about it."

Wu Zhiyuan opened the car door and said, "A meal of Korean beef makes you uneasy? This meal was originally meant to make up for your coming-of-age ceremony. Let's go."

After getting off the bus, Wu Haiyuan caught up with Wu Zhiyuan and asked, "Did your parents give you money?"

Wu Zhiyuan glanced at Wu Haiyuan and said, "Your new phone and this Korean beef are my bonus for the first quarter of this year. Your unnie works at SK Hynix, a woman with an annual salary of 5500 million Korean won."

A woman with an annual salary of 5500 million is impressive.

Before Wu Haiyuan could say anything, Wu Zhiyuan added, "You have to treat me well after you make money, understand?"

Wu Haiyuan smiled and said, "So that's what you're after, Unnie. Don't worry, I'll definitely buy you lots of gifts. Do you like designer bags? Ivy? Chanel?"

"Ding-dong"

"Welcome!" Wu Haiyuan glanced around as he entered the store.

As expected of a brand chain store, the Korean beef restaurant has a luxurious yet cozy interior, and the tables and chairs are spaced far apart, so you don't have to worry about being disturbed by customers at other tables.

However, there weren't many customers, mainly because the prices were significantly higher than other Korean beef restaurants.

I just sat down.

As Wu Haiyuan tore open the wet wipe, he heard Wu Zhiyuan ask, "Why didn't your brother-in-law take you with him to the party?"

Wu Haiyuan paused, looking at Wu Zhiyuan sitting opposite him, and said, "Unnie, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, it's a secret relationship."

"Shh"

"Okay, so do you guys keep in touch?"

Wu Haiyuan was stumped by the question.

Wu Zhiyuan asked, "What I mean is, do you guys usually call or text each other to keep in touch with Kakao?"

Before Wu Haiyuan could answer, Wu Zhiyuan continued, "Does your brother-in-law share his life with you, like any other couple would talk about work and other things that happen to them?" Wu Haiyuan shook his head.

Wu Zhiyuan said, "That won't work. You need to share your lives with each other. Even if you're not together, you still need to let the other person know what's happening in your life and participate in your world."

Wu Haiyuan looked at Wu Zhiyuan, who was analyzing the world with great insight, with a puzzled expression.

Wu Zhiyuan raised his hand to touch his cheek and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Wu Haiyuan asked, "Did you find these online, Unnie?"

"what?"

"Otherwise, I would find it hard to believe that someone who has never been in a relationship would say something like that. Wow, are all academically successful people the same? They use every tool that can help them. In the internet age, the simplest and most effective thing is to search online. It really is exactly the same."
