Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

Wu Haiyuan laughed and said, "What? If you want to be the Genie, do you have to turn blue first, like when Super Junior's Cho Kyuhyun played the Genie role in 'New Journey to the West'?"

Han Hee-joon maintained his smile.

Wu Haiyuan shrugged and said, "You probably don't understand what I'm saying."

Han Xijun really couldn't understand.

Seeing Wu Haiyuan's somewhat disappointed look, Han Xijun said, "I'll understand, very soon."

Wu Haiyuan shook his head and said, "There's no need for that, really. You're so busy with work, I was just saying it casually. If I don't know something, I don't know it. I don't know a lot of the things you're talking about."

Han Xijun insisted, "From now on, I'll speak in a way that you can understand."

Wu Haiyuan stopped in his tracks.

Han Xijun also stopped.

Looking up at Han Xijun, Wu Haiyuan asked, "Do you like me that much?"

Han Xijun lowered his head slightly, staring intently into Wu Haiyuan's eyes, and said, word by word, "Before coming to Incheon, I liked him; now I like him very, very, very much."

"Why?" "Because besides bringing me joy, you also have a magical power that makes people forget about time."

"Forget about time? What's the use?"

"It's very useful. Before, only work could make me forget about time, but now I realize that shopping and eating together can also make me forget about time."

Wu Haiyuan actually didn't quite understand.

However, it's understandable that this is a good thing for Han Hee-joon.

She was actually a little "anxious".

If things continue like this, the lack of common ground can be quite "fatal".

Let's say less and make fewer mistakes, and try our best not to let this feeling pass on to Han Xijun.

"What time do we leave tomorrow morning?"

"You decide."

"Come to my house for breakfast, then we'll head out."

"Shall we eat at your house?" "My mom said so."

Holding hands, they continued walking forward and decided to have breakfast at Wu Haiyuan's house the next morning. Han Xijun was still asking Wu Haiyuan if it would be inappropriate for him to go empty-handed when the flower shop was not open the next morning.

Wu Haiyuan "educated" that it's not necessary to bring gifts to someone's home; Han Xijun himself might be the gift, and the elders would be very happy if he went.

Han Xijun pressed Wu Haiyuan to confirm if what he said was true, and whether he was even good enough to be a gift.

Wu Haiyuan noticed that Han Xijun was serious again; this person seemed very excited about being given as a gift.

It means that the family has approved of you, but is it really worth being so happy about a gift?

All the way, he kept shaking Wu Haiyuan's arm and asking him all sorts of questions.

This was the first time Wu Haiyuan had ever noticed a childish side to Han Xijun. When they talked about Ji Xun before, even when he transformed into a domineering CEO, there was still a hint of childishness in him. Now, he was completely uninhibited.

the other side.

Seoul, Cheongdam-dong.

ive dormitory.

Zhang Yuanying saw the text message she had read. It was within her expectations that Han Xijun wouldn't reply.

That's just how realistic society is.

Relationships between people are very complex.

Han Xijun promised to help her, but soon said he wouldn't help Zhang Yuanying get endorsement deals by pretending to be her boyfriend.

Han Xijun had spoken to Chairman Zheng, but his words seemed to carry little weight with Chairman Zheng.

Whether Han Xijun succeeded or not is still uncertain.

But Han Xijun did go and say it, so it can't be said that Han Xijun is a hypocrite.

crunch.

The door is pushed open.

Ahn Yoo-jin stood at the door and asked, "Are you asleep?"

Lying on the bed, Zhang Yuanying said, "I'm asleep."

"Will you answer me even if you're asleep?" "You're still asking me even though Unnie is already in here."

Gently close the door.

I turned around, and the light from my phone helped illuminate the way.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ahn Yoo-jin asked, "Weren't you supposed to go home tonight? What happened?"

Zhang Yuanying doesn't usually live in the dormitory.

Somewhat like Choi Siwon of Super Junior, Jang Wonyoung is from Seoul and her family owns more than one property in Seoul. She usually lives at home, except when she is busy with group comeback promotions and stays in the dormitory temporarily.

The hype surrounding the music show promotions has already subsided for a month.

This comeback album, "Love Dive," has achieved great success, winning a total of nine number one spots on music shows including Music Core, Inkigayo, and The Show.

This also solidified IVE's absolute position among fifth-generation girl groups.

Individually, Ahn Yu-jin, as the leader, continues to promote the group. The new variety show "Biong Biong Earth Game Hall" produced by PD Na Young-seok's team, which was recorded earlier, has also premiered, and the search volume for related terms "ive" has increased dramatically.

Besides Ahn Yu-jin, the other member of IVE who carries the most traffic, topics, and popularity is Jang Won-young.

Zhang Yuanying had originally thought that it would be perfect if Hyundai-Kia Group officially announced her as their global brand ambassador for their fourth-quarter new car. This wouldn't just be to continue promoting and building hype for IVE.

This is also a solid achievement that has made her the top female player in the group.

What I thought of didn't become a reality.

What's making Jang Won-young a little anxious is that there's been more and more news about SM Entertainment's new girl group circulating online lately.

SM Entertainment has also announced that the new girl group will definitely debut this year.

Among them, the one who has been the most discussed is Liu Zhimin, who previously gained a lot of attention through the Internet.

Even before her debut, she already has a significant popularity gap, surpassing the popularity and attention of many active idols.

Zhang Yuanying has only one goal: to become the top female player among the five female players.

Previously, she didn't think it was itchy, (g)i-dle, le sserafim who were competitors.

Even with the upcoming debut of Newjeans, a new girl group under Heby Entertainment's subsidiary, Jang Won-young doesn't think it will pose a challenge to her goal of becoming the top girl in the five-girl group.

But Liu Zhimin is different.

Her looks were already a hot topic even before she debuted, and with the mature and experienced management of SM Entertainment, Yoo Jimin is sure to become an instant star as soon as she debuts. Ahn Yu-jin looked at Jang Won-young, who had a worried expression on her face.

She was trying to comfort Zhang Yuanying.

No matter when, she would always be by Zhang Yuanying's side whenever she needed her.

Ahn Yoo-jin didn't want Jang Won-young to be unhappy. Where did the Jang Won-young of the past go? Ahn Yoo-jin really missed the carefree, laughing person from before.

I really can't find it.

Ahn Yoo-jin tried to help find it, but even sitting in front of Jang Won-young, she could clearly feel the negative energy emanating from him.

Perhaps only she herself could sense it, because Zhang Yuanying never showed her innermost thoughts to other members or outsiders.

After a long silence, Zhang Yuanying slowly spoke, "I'm sorry I couldn't get the endorsement I've always wanted."

Ahn Yoo-jin hugged Jang Won-young tightly, gently patting her back and saying, "Won-young, you didn't do anything wrong. You don't need to apologize to anyone. You're already the best, you know?"

Jang Won-young's voice reached Ahn Yoo-jin's ears: "Unnie, I'm actually apologizing to myself."

Releasing her embrace, Ahn Yu-jin exclaimed in confusion, "Huh?"

Jang Won-young smiled and said, "Unnie, you misunderstand. I'm mentally strong right now, and I can't be defeated by just one thing." Ahn Yoo-jin raised her hand and waved it twice in front of Jang Won-young's eyes.

Zhang Yuanying grabbed Ahn Yoojin's hand and said, "It's me. I wasn't possessed by anything dirty. Unnie, watch less horror movies. But I'm still a little unhappy. We could have reached our goal much faster, but now things are a bit unstable."

"Unstable?"

"Let's wait and see, time will tell."

"And what about time?"

I still believe in that person.

"And who is that person?"

Zhang Yuanying sighed and asked, "What's wrong, Unnie?"

Ahn Yoo-jin chuckled and said, "Ah, that person, Han Hee-joon, I know him, I know him."
