Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

Beep beep beep, beep beep.

Beep beep beep, beep beep.

The tune Wu Haiyuan was humming was a song she had heard by chance on a radio program on the way home from eating a bowl of ramen in the park. It was a song called "Conditions of Love" by the third-generation female idol group Bestie.

It's a pity about the group.

The company that originally owned the song also had the brave brothers personally handle the production.

Back then, the Brave Brothers released quite a few hit songs, including "Short Skirt" and "Cat Walk" by the third-generation girl group AOA.

Luo Hailing, the visual center of the group Bestie, also appeared on the popular variety show "Running Man".

That was the peak of "Running Man". Even now, if Wu Haiyuan or other members of the group, or even the entire group, were invited by the production team to record "Running Man", it would still be a great opportunity to promote the group.

It's a pity about Luo Hailing; he was paired with Ji Suk-jin when recording the show.

If the program is filmed indoors, there's no need to worry about the amount of screen time; Ji Suk-jin is known as the ace of indoor recordings in the Korean entertainment industry.

However, Ji Suk-jin's screen time is limited outdoors. The recording time for each episode is quite long, but after the broadcast, Na Hae-ryung's screen time only adds up to a few minutes.

Wu Haiyuan only remembered watching that episode of the show during his student days after hearing the song "Conditions of Love." He vaguely recalled that the production team had apologized to Luo Hailing on the show. But then again, it's quite remarkable to still hear fans requesting songs on a radio program after all these years.

At least some people still remember Bestie.

This song is really fitting, at least when sharing love stories.

I feel more connected to the tunes now than I did back then.

It could also be because Wu Haiyuan is in a relationship.

Waiting for the elevator.

Wu Haiyuan was still lamenting: "The lyrics back then were really direct and bold. He looked like Kang Dong-won, was rich, and gave me a hundred roses and a diamond necklace. The lyrics were completely self-deprecating. So having high standards really makes it easy to be single."

"TV dramas are harmful, especially those about chaebol heirs or royal heirs falling in love with Cinderella."

"Wait a minute, Han Hee-joon looks like Won Bin, is capable and rich, and might actually send me a hundred roses and a diamond necklace. It's not that I'm picky, is it? How did I end up single, especially with a man like that?"

"Hahaha"

Wu Haiyuan, talking to himself, made himself happy.

The elevator doors opened. Inside were neighbors from the same building.

Wu Haiyuan's expression instantly turned poker, and he proactively greeted his neighbors in the building with "Hello."

The neighbor responded, and as he walked out of the elevator toward the building's access control, he couldn't help but glance back at Wu Haiyuan as he entered the elevator, muttering, "Was I hallucinating? I clearly heard someone laughing out loud just now."

Inside the elevator, Wu Haiyuan pressed the floor button and looked at his reflection in the car.

She tossed her hair.

Suddenly, she became curious about what kind of person she was in Han Xijun's eyes.

Thinking about it carefully, Wu Haiyuan had never seriously asked Han Xijun.

When Han Xijun confessed to her, he said that Wu Haiyuan was beautiful, and that it was because of her beauty that he fell in love at first sight. But what attracted Han Xijun more was Wu Haiyuan's personality. After all, it was the first time in Han Xijun's life that he had met someone as outgoing, unrestrained, and quirky as Wu Haiyuan.

To put it simply, it's amazing.

Also strange.

The Cinderella trope that wealthy heirs and royal heirs in TV dramas often favor is pretty much the same.

Is this some kind of upper-class romantic preference? Thankfully, Han Xijun didn't become incoherent with excitement about eating ramen tonight, as if he had discovered a new continent.

However, his common sense about life is really not as good as mine.

Ding

The elevator doors opened.

Wu Haiyuan slowly walked out of the elevator.

Enter the password at the doorstep.

drop drop drop

Open the door and go inside.

I changed into slippers at the entrance.

The living room light was still on.

Normally, Mom and Dad would have already gone back to their room by this time.

Mom usually does some small crafts in her room, which also serves as a form of exercise, such as knitting. Dad, on the other hand, sits on the bed flipping through thick law books. In his own words, every law has a different interpretation depending on the case, so it's not only about memorizing the laws and regulations but also about reviewing them to gain a deeper understanding.

Anyway, you won't see your parents sitting in the living room watching TV series or movies.

In my memory, my mother was different from other housewives; she wasn't interested in daily dramas, weekend dramas, or morning dramas.

Wu Haiyuan didn't know what his mother and her friends talked about when they got together.

blah blah blah

The footsteps sounded somewhat hollow.

Wu Haiyuan was stopped just as he reached the living room.

I turned my head and saw my parents in the living room.

Wu Haiyuan pointed towards the room and asked疑惑地问道, "Aren't Mom and Dad resting yet?"

Mom patted the sofa next to her and said, "Come sit here."

Wu Haiyuan walked over.

She didn't think much of it. She knew her parents would have asked Han Xijun before she got home.

Han Xijun is the type of person who will answer any question.

Wu Haiyuan naturally assumed that his parents knew the whole process of how they got to know each other and how Han Xijun confessed his feelings.

I just sat down.

Wu Haiyuan then heard his mother ask, "How far have things progressed in your relationship?"

Wu Haiyuan said "inside".

His tone and eyes both conveyed doubt.

Wu Haiyuan's father chimed in, "Your mother means that you're already meeting each other's parents so soon, does that mean...?"

Wu Haiyuan would never forget that look in his eyes.

A judge.

A female divers who returns to family life as housewives.

I don't like watching TV dramas. But the look in his eyes wasn't just highly similar to a conversation scene in a key plot point of a TV drama, it was practically identical.

There's no need to ask too many questions, word by word.

Although Wu Haiyuan had just celebrated her coming of age and had just started dating Han Xijun, it didn't mean she didn't understand the meaning behind those eyes.

I was shocked.

Unexpectedly, my parents thought that Han Xijun and I were "speeding".

That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous.

Wu Haiyuan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

She didn't know what to say.

"Haha, hahaha"

Qian chuckled a few times.

The most genuine reaction when a person is speechless.

But in his parents' eyes, Wu Haiyuan's dry laugh wasn't just a speechless chuckle; it was more like a helpless, flustered laugh after his hidden secret was exposed. It was a complete shift from heaven to hell.

Before going home, Wu Haiyuan was in high spirits, humming "Conditions of Love," feeling like the luckiest person in the world to have found love tonight.

Upon returning home, Wu Haiyuan's mood plummeted.

Nobody has ever thought of that, absolutely not.

To my utter surprise, it was my parents who thought in that direction and even asked about it.
