Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

Tehran Road.

Kakao Group headquarters building.

15th floor, AI R&D center.

Kwon Ji-ho was surrounded by the crowd.

Li Shiyan is counting the number of people.

While waiting for her coffee with a water cup in hand, Baek Eun-hee asked her colleague curiously, "What's going on here?"

My colleague asked, puzzled, "Didn't you see the messages in the chat room?"

Baek Eun-hee shook her head.

Recently, her work has become busier. With KG Group officially announcing a strategic cooperation with Kakao Group in the field of artificial intelligence, all administrative-related business at the AI ​​R&D center has increased.

Previously, Baek Eun-hee wasn't considered a formal team leader's secretary, mainly because Han Hee-joon had very few social engagements. However, starting in September, Han Hee-joon's social engagements increased.

The HR department had already informed Bai Enxi that she would be officially transferred to the position of administrative secretary. Bai Enxi, who was struggling to adapt to the more demanding work schedule, didn't have time to gossip about anything else. Seeing Bai Enxi shake her head, her colleague lowered her voice and said, "Anyone in our department might not know, but you can't not know. You're a full-time secretary now."

If that's the case, then it must be related to Han Xijun.

Baek Eun-hee immediately asked, "Is it about the team leader?"

Just as his colleague was about to answer, Quan Zhihao, who was surrounded in the middle, said, "This is also an extension of social life. Our team leader will definitely be able to see it."

"Ji-ho, is this a gamble?"

"Senior, this isn't really a gamble. The team leader only had two people with him to begin with."

"I know them, Wu Haiyuan and Zhang Yuanying."

When Bai Enxi heard Zhang Yuanying's name, she peeked out on tiptoe.

Kwon Ji-ho said slowly, "When IVE made its comeback last time, our department bought the album together. Our team leader knew it was about emotions, but his reaction was very indifferent."

"nmixx is making a comeback this month, and each person will receive 2 hw. I believe that the group leader will have a different reaction after he finds out that we bought albums to support them."

Li Shiyan interjected, "There are 28 people in total."

A 30-year-old employee said, "I'll put up 6 h yuan to buy 3 tickets." "3 tickets?"

"Can't I keep one for myself and buy one for my two younger sisters too? Our whole family are fans of nmixx."

The quick-thinking employee immediately pulled out his wallet and followed.

How could you forget the most crucial thing?

Let's take a gamble.

What a load of rubbish!

In the only interview Han Hee-joon gave, he spent a large part of the interview talking about how he is a fan of nmixx.

Good morning, team leader!

Han Hee-joon nodded slightly in response to the staff member's greeting.

As I passed the main office, I saw a lot of people discussing something in the break room.

Normally, Han Xijun would go directly to his office.

For some reason, Han Xijun headed towards the tea room today out of curiosity. Li Shiyan was in charge of counting the quantities.

Kwon Ji-ho was in charge of collecting the money.

They spun around in place, each person holding a different amount of cash.

I'll buy 10 tickets.

Kwon Ji-ho took the four 50,000 won bills and said, "I can tell you really want to improve."

Strangely, the noisy environment suddenly became quiet.

Moreover, the voice that said it wanted to buy 10 albums sounded very familiar.

look up

Eyes facing each other.

Seeing Han Xijun's smiling face, Quan Zhihao quickly explained, "Team leader, don't misunderstand. We're actually all fans of Nmixx, it's not for..."

The other colleagues around him were frantically giving Kwon Ji-ho meaningful glances.

No one said anything. Han Xijun didn't suspect anything either.

Seeing that Kwon Ji-ho's explanation was making things worse, Lee Si-yeon interjected at a crucial moment: "Is the team leader sure it's 10 photos? Let me make a note of it."

Han Hee-joon asked, "Is it to reach a certain number of albums?"

Li Shiyan shook her head and said, "No, we just wanted to make it more convenient to buy them together, it's not a fan club album purchase event."

Han Xijun nodded and said to Bai Enxi, "I'll have an iced Americano today, thank you," before leaving the break room.

Everyone was stealing glances at Han Xijun.

I only breathed a sigh of relief when I saw him enter the office.

Baek Eun-hee immediately began preparing an iced Americano.

The employees were filled with curiosity.

Han Xijun usually drinks green tea, so why is he drinking iced Americano today?

I didn't smell any alcohol on Han Xijun.

Some employees speculated that it might be due to the hot weather. Recently, the temperature in Seoul has reached nearly 30 degrees Celsius as early as 8 a.m.

Some staff members speculated that Han Hee-joon wanted to refresh himself; the company raising money to buy the album wasn't important, but rather the activities of the nmixx fan club were.

Believe it or not, the employee actually guessed correctly.

Han Xijun had never paid attention to the fan club before. When he heard that the fan club would have activities, Han Xijun immediately thought of something else: would that guy named Yoon Ji-hoon be very active and enthusiastic in the fan club?

Bang bang bang bang

My fingers were dancing on the keyboard.

I quickly logged into the nmixx official fan club account.

Slide the mouse wheel.

Below are many posts about the nmixx comeback this month.

How do you show your support?

How do I buy albums?

Are there any tutorials on how to campaign for votes during music show performances? Also, some recent behind-the-scenes photos of the nmixx members.

Han Hee-joon is most concerned about the Reuters photos.

He didn't know which fan had taken the photos.

There are photos of nmixx clocking in and out of get off work while filming a variety show, as well as photos of him entering and leaving the company.

Han Hee-joon, one of the other members, was only glanced at.

Upon seeing Wu Haiyuan's photo, Han Xijun would immediately double-click the mouse to zoom in.

Take a picture of the enlarged image on the computer screen with your phone.

It was sent to Wu Haiyuan via Kakao.

At the same time.

City Cave, JYP Entertainment Company.

After recording their group variety show, all members of nmixx immediately began preparing for their album comeback. In the practice room...

The members were warming up and discussing their stage outfits and makeup for their comeback performances.

"Are you going for a makeup trial today?"

"It's today."

"I feel a lot of pressure coming back this time."

"Is it due to production costs?"

"I'm worried that many people online will still think that our retro patchwork style is a failure and doesn't suit us."

Expectations and worries are directly proportional.

Wu Haiyuan was about to comfort the members, telling them that before there are results, they should have confidence and that everything should be geared towards the goal of success.

buzz

My phone is vibrating.

Wu Haiyuan then realized he had forgotten to put his phone in the locker. It was his sister's new phone; he would be devastated if he accidentally dropped it and broke the screen while dancing.

Unlock the screen.

I saw it was a Kakao notification.

After opening Kakao, I saw a message from Han Xijun.

Wu Haiyuan tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth.

It's been almost a month since they returned to Seoul from Incheon. The two haven't seen each other, but they keep in touch every day.

Although they don't contact each other often, maybe just exchange a few messages, and sometimes they'll talk on the phone and then video call, this feeling of being in love makes Wu Haiyuan very happy every time she receives a message from Han Xijun.
