Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

Wu Haiyuan, who was chatting, looked at Han Xijun.

His eyes were full of worry.

Han Xijun's mother asked, "Haiyuan, are you worried about Xijun?"

Wu Haiyuan looked away and shook his head, saying, "No, Auntie, I was worried about Dad and Uncle."

"Is Hee-joon a good drinker?"

"Auntie, what I do know is that he had dinner and drinks with my sister and senior executives from SK Hynix before, and he didn't get drunk. He's never been drunk before either."

Han Xijun's mother laughed nonchalantly and said, "Those two fathers are going to get drunk today, so let's not worry about them. If they get drunk, they can just sleep here. Let's go shopping at Hyundai Department Store later."

The class reunion was scheduled to start at 7 p.m., and Wu Haiyuan had no reason to refuse.

But I'm still worried that they'll leave first and leave the people drinking here.

In the end, the two mothers and Wu Haiyuan left first. Wu Haiyuan's mother drove away in one car, leaving the other one for them to call a designated driver back to Seoul.

In the car.

Han Xijun's mother kept telling Wu Haiyuan not to focus too much on men. Everyone should have their own life.

Wu Haiyuan's mother also agreed with this point.

The front was unified the moment they met.

There is no distinction between Han Xijun's mother and Wu Haiyuan's mother; both treat Wu Haiyuan as their daughter.

Seoul, Hongdae, Jeju Island black pork barbecue restaurant.

The appropriately sized pieces of roasted meat were placed in Jiang Huiyuan's bowl and plate.

Yoon Ji-hoon said gently, "Try it. This is a popular restaurant I found online. Many food bloggers have come here to check it out."

Jiang Huiyuan picked up her chopsticks and said, "Thank you, I can do it myself."

Okay, I know you're shy.

Jiang Huiyuan didn't reply.

She had no romantic intentions whatsoever. Her main purpose in meeting with Yoon Ji-hoon alone was to tell him that Oh Hae-won and Han Hee-joon were dating, so that Yoon Ji-hoon would not have any other thoughts.

Yoon Ji-hoon also ate a piece of grilled meat, raising an eyebrow in approval of its taste. Kang Hye-won drank Sprite.

Yoon Ji-hoon was drinking soju.

After downing a glass of soju, Yoon Ji-hoon still managed to ask the same question: "Is Hae-won's boyfriend our classmate?"

Kang Hye-won had been waiting for Yoon Ji-hoon to ask this question.

My classmate was just throwing out an idea to spark discussion.

If Wu Haiyuan was dating a high school classmate, how could Yoon Ji-hoon, who had been following Wu Haiyuan's news, not know?

The reason he did so many things was that, before contacting Jiang Huiyuan, he learned from the fan club and other channels that Wu Haiyuan had always been single.

The news that he had a boyfriend was a huge shock to Yoon Ji-hoon, but he didn't show it.

Jiang Huiyuan didn't want to beat around the bush.

If Oh Hae-won were single, Kang Hye-won would definitely support Yoon Ji-hoon in pursuing her.

Your best friend deserves to be pursued by an outstanding person.

Unfortunately, the outstanding Yoon Ji-hoon sitting across from her was facing an equally outstanding Han Hee-joon. Kang Hye-won put down her chopsticks and said, "Don't tell anyone else about this."

Yoon Ji-hoon forced a smile and said, "Of course, I'm a fan of Hae-won now, and I know that idols can't have scandals."

Jiang Huiyuan took a sip of Sprite and said, "You should also know about Haiyuan's boyfriend. He is Han Xijun, a genius in the field of AI in our country, who recorded a dating show with Haiyuan."

Yoon Ji-hoon frowned and said, "You mean Han Hee-joon from the Kakao Group?"

"right"

"Is he dating Haiyuan?"

"Um"

"Hiss, Haiyuan likes this kind of person?"

Jiang Huiyuan blurted out, "Han Xijun is a very outstanding person."

He glanced at Yoon Ji-hoon and said, "He's just as outstanding as you, also from Incheon, and he's very good to Hae-won."

"Don't get me wrong, what I mean is that in the show, Han Xijun's personality is completely different from Haiyuan's. He also speaks very briefly. Logically speaking, Haiyuan's extroverted personality shouldn't like a dull person, right?"

Jiang Huiyuan couldn't understand why Wu Haiyuan liked Han Xijun. Perhaps it was just because of his appearance?

It's not surprising to fall in love at first sight. In the love stories that young girls dream of, they meet a prince. Of course, the prince has to be tall, handsome, and exude a noble aura so that people fall in love at first sight.

Jiang Huiyuan only briefly told Yoon Ji-hoon what she saw and felt during her two meetings with Han Xijun.

"Attentiveness and thoughtfulness—that's what makes them so charming, isn't it?"

"What I sensed was that Haiyuan might have sensed even more than that."

Yoon Ji-hoon remained calm, continuing to grill the meat and placing the cooked meat on the edge of the grill pan.

"Eat more, it's not easy for us to meet up and have a meal together."

"Thanks"

"Really, you don't need to be so polite, Huiyuan. Does Haiyuan usually call you to talk about dating? Like complaining that she's too busy with work to meet up and go on dates?"

Jiang Huiyuan sighed inwardly.

Even knowing that Oh Hae-won has a boyfriend who is a very outstanding person, Yoon Ji-hoon still did not give up his feelings for Oh Hae-won.

Still clinging to a sliver of hope, they continued to probe into Wu Haiyuan's love life. It was probably based on past news reports that celebrities' relationships rarely lasted long, ending because busy work schedules prevented them from dating, causing them to revert to being just friends or colleagues.

Although Han Hee-joon is not an entertainer, Yoon Ji-hoon knows that the person in charge of the AI ​​department at Kakao Group must be very busy.

Intermittently, no matter what topic they changed to, Yoon Ji-hoon would always bring up Oh Hae-won after a few sentences.

After lunch and coffee, I went to the bowling alley where I had arranged to meet the other classmates.

Time flies.

It was almost 6 p.m. when Jiang Huiyuan received Wu Haiyuan's call.

"Haiyuan"

The greeting after the call was connected immediately attracted the attention of several other classmates.

The students looked at Jiang Huiyuan and whispered, "Is it Haiyuan?"

no doubt.

Of the graduates from Nonhyeon High School today, Yoon Ji-hoon and Oh Hae-won are the most successful.

One is a promising and talented football player. The other is an idol who quickly gained recognition after his debut.

Jiang Huiyuan didn't interrupt, and Yin Zhixun was dodging the question, but what he said was all about "debunking the rumors." It was unclear whether he was covering for Wu Haiyuan or just trying to comfort himself.

On the other end of the phone, Wu Haiyuan asked, "Where are you now?"

Jiang Huiyuan told Wu Haiyuan that they were currently at a bowling alley in Jiangnan, near the hotel where they would be having dinner that night. The gathering that evening was a high-end buffet costing 19 yuan per person.

"Shall we come over now?"

Yoon Ji-hoon walked to Kang Hye-won's side and said, "I'll go pick her up."

Jiang Huiyuan did not pass on a message.

It wasn't that she didn't want to pass on the message, but that someone else was talking to Wu Haiyuan on the phone.

It means, "Haewon, Heejun and his two fathers are still drinking. Let's go to the restaurant to find them. Where are you going? I'd like to take you there."

Then came the voice: "Mom, Auntie, I can take a taxi myself. Hee-joon knows I'm going to a class reunion tonight."
