Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

With the first week of promotions over, album sales and other metrics have steadily increased thanks to the comeback hype. Starting next week, the likelihood of securing number one on music shows will also increase.

JYP Entertainment.

The agent arrived at the practice room with good news.

The members have changed their clothes and are ready to go back to their dorm to rest.

Although there are no performances scheduled for tomorrow, we still have to get up early and continue working at the practice room.

Sometimes the members also want more schedules. Since their debut, what they envy most, and many people might not believe it, is experiencing the so-called "death schedule".

The manager stood in front of the coffee table in the practice room and said, "The idol schedule for the week has been finalized. Recording will begin next week."

Finally, a program that is expected to attract attention has been finalized.

Seeing that the members were silent, the manager asked, "What's wrong? You don't seem very enthusiastic. Are you tired?"

Wu Haiyuan explained, "It's not that I'm tired. The response to my comeback has been good, and I originally thought I would get more program offers."

The manager comforted them, saying, "Don't be too anxious. You're still complete rookies. Compared to other idol groups that debuted around the same time, you've already achieved very good results. This isn't just me saying this to comfort you; it's what the director and the PD said."

"It's not easy to get on a show like 'Running Man' that has global attention. EXO and BTS couldn't get on it when they were rookies. Their first appearance on the show was a short recording. Twice only got on it after they became famous." The manager said selectively.

The members of NMIXX may not know the schedules when idol groups from other entertainment companies record those big shows, but they do know the schedules of their colleagues, especially IZTY.

IZTY also appeared on "Running Man" during her rookie days, although it was just a guest appearance.

It's considered a rule in the industry that symbolizes the popularity of idol groups.

Anyone who can participate in the recording of "Running Man" has already achieved a great deal of influence and popularity, at least in South Korea.

The manager changed the subject, saying, "The current promotion and publicity are different from before. Including 'Weekly Idol,' appearing on this show is actually the best stage for idol groups to showcase themselves, as well as the live interaction."

After chatting for a while, the agent said, "Have you all changed your clothes? I'll take you back to your dorms."

The members exchanged glances.

They usually work very late at the company and go home by themselves.

The company isn't far from the dormitory, and if I'm not particularly tired, walking back occasionally is a form of aerobic exercise.

When we're really tired, six of us can take the subway for just a few stops.

Tonight, their manager actually offered to drive them home. The maknae (youngest member) couldn't help but say, "Is the company starting to value us?"

I really didn't mean to say what was on my mind.

The agent replied somewhat awkwardly, "The company has always valued you. The previous issue was due to coordination problems with the agents' work. I will pick you up and drop you off whenever I have time."

"Starting today?"

"It has always been that way, don't overthink it."

I took the company shuttle back to the dormitory.

very convenient.

However, there is also a problem.

If the agent picks them up and drops them off every day, they won't be able to buy food at a convenience store or restaurant near their dormitory.

Moreover, their agents would escort them upstairs, and they had to be careful about the packaging bags they couldn't hide in time when ordering takeout.

The members were unaware of the designated time for throwing away trash in this area, and it wouldn't be good if their manager found out they were secretly eating in the dorm.

Search "Deqi" on Bing to see the latest updated chapters of this book! Before leaving, the manager told the members that he would come back to pick them up tomorrow morning. Tomorrow's work schedule was to go to the company for daily practice, and then do some autographing in the afternoon.

The agent didn't explain clearly what the signature was.

After the manager left, the members gathered in the living room.

Touching her belly.

Kim Ji-woo and Jang Gyu-jin kept repeating, "I don't think it's good."

What are you saying?

"It would be really inconvenient if our manager oppa picked us up and dropped us off in the future. We used to walk back to the dorm, which would take about 20 minutes and then we would get hungry and buy something to eat. Now it only takes a few minutes, and we don't feel that hungry anymore."

"Exactly, I don't know whether to eat or not, and the time I finish washing up doesn't match up with the schedule."

Wu Haiyuan said, "Don't you guys always feel like you don't get enough sleep?"

"Unnie, nothing's changed much, it's only a difference of ten minutes."

"So, it's only a difference of ten minutes, but the difference between being hungry and not hungry is quite obvious?"

"Of course it's obvious. My sleep schedule is completely messed up. What if I suddenly feel hungry after washing up and going back to my room? Should I eat or not? I'm already lying in bed, should I sleep or get up and eat?" Xue Lun'e said, "Don't worry about it. Just wash up and rest early. During the music show, you have to be even stricter with your figure management. This is better."

Everyone was getting ready to wash up.

Fortunately, I'm having dinner with the fan club management and Han Xijun tomorrow.

The company must have booked a high-end restaurant, probably a Korean beef restaurant. Even if they're serving pork belly, it should be a famous pork belly dish, served with delicious steamed egg custard, soybean paste stew, and cold noodles.

Korean beef is the best, and you can also eat raw beef tartare.

Wu Haiyuan went back to his room first.

Wu Haiyuan received a friend request from Kakao while he was in the car.

She saw it, but did not do anything about it.

The person who requested to be a friend was Yoon Ji-hoon.

The two were originally communicating via text message.

Text messages are actually very convenient; they're just plain text, and you can easily understand what they're saying.

Kakao friends are different. Friends can share links and send photos at any time.

Recently, Han Xijun has been frequently sending photos to Wu Haiyuan.

Lying in bed.

It's not good to pretend I didn't see it; it would be too embarrassing if Yoon Ji-hoon asked me about it in person tomorrow.

Wu Haiyuan looked at the friend request page and hesitated for a while before clicking "accept".

As soon as it was approved, Yoon Ji-hoon sent an emoji.

It's one of those cute greeting emojis.

Before Wu Haiyuan could reply, Yin Zhixun sent another message: "Just got off work? Does the company usually control your personal cell phones?"

Wu Haiyuan edited the text and replied to the past.

The excuse was given to them by Yoon Ji-hoon, and they just used it. They said that the company usually does not allow its artists and trainees to use their personal cell phones during work hours.

Yoon Ji-hoon didn't dwell on the topic and sent a message to Oh Hae-won asking if he would also be busy tomorrow.

Buzz. The phone vibrates.

Caller ID genius.

Wu Haiyuan immediately pressed the answer button.

Han Xijun's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Off work?"

"Yeah, in the dorm."

"very tired?"

Not tired

"Your voice sounds tiring."

"Exactly, I can't explain it either."

"Don't worry, I'll pretend I don't know Yoon Ji-hoon when we eat tomorrow, and he should pretend he doesn't know me either."

Wu Haiyuan didn't even think about this problem.

When Han Xijun brought it up, Wu Haiyuan suddenly realized a terrifying situation. Tomorrow, not only friends, but also the fan club management, managers, and even the head of the management office, and perhaps Director Li Zhiying, would be having dinner together.

If any "unexpected situation" were to occur at the dinner party, it would be beyond Wu Haiyuan's ability to handle.
