Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

"Let's go first, so our manager oppa won't get suspicious."

Wu Haiyuan tried to call out to the members, but it was too late; they had already headed towards the parking lot.

They were walking side by side, clearly covering for Wu Haiyuan and Han Xijun.

Han Hee-joon said, "Are the members this cute too?"

Wu Haiyuan said, "You've always been cute, okay?"

Han Xijun nodded.

It's not that she looks cute, it's that her actions are cute.

Of the group of women, only Pei Zhenlu could hold them off somewhat, but it wasn't very effective.

Wu Haiyuan quickened his pace, saying, "I didn't expect you to agree."

Han Hee-joon said, "Then what should we do? Should we tell the members that I went back?"

"Everything has been discussed and agreed upon, what can we do now?"

"What do you want to eat?" "Me?"

"There's a party tonight, so you don't need to worry about gaining weight. It's a rare opportunity to be ordered to eat, so make the most of it, ladies."

"Tch, what would that genius want to eat?"

"I'm fine with anything."

"Shall I order?"

"Um"

"Then I won't be polite."

"Order whatever you like"

"I want stir-fried rice cakes, the kind with fish cakes, and fried chicken, pig's trotters, seaweed rice rolls, and potato and pork rib soup... no, no, I'd like spicy stewed monkfish."

Han Xijun asked, "Have you finished ordering?"

Wu Haiyuan said, "Yes, we ordered so much, and it's all very expensive."

"Lady, even if I asked you to beat up a rich guy, you wouldn't do it. I thought you'd order barbecue, Korean beef, or maybe some pizza, Mexican food, or Spanish seafood." "You have those?"

"You've never been to Itaewon?"

"No, I haven't been there yet. Have you been?"

"No, I often hear my colleagues say that."

"That's all for now. I'm going back to my dorm. Let's keep in touch."

Han Xijun made an OK sign.

Wu Haiyuan paused for a moment without saying anything, then turned and jogged toward the parking lot.

Han Xijun watched Wu Haiyuan get into the car first, and only after the car drove away did he sit in the passenger seat.

The designated driver was a man in his thirties. After Han Xijun got in the car, he asked about the destination. Wu Haiyuan said that the dishes he ordered could be bought in Xincun and they could go directly to Xincun.

On the way, the designated driver couldn't help but recognize Han Xijun, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, he mentioned nmixx.

They emphasized that it would be kept confidential.

Han Hee-joon told the designated driver not to be so nervous, explaining that tonight was a gathering organized by JYP Entertainment for fans, not a private event. Upon arriving at Sinchon, Han Hee-joon got out of the car to buy something, not keeping the driver waiting, and told him to just drive to the underground parking garage of Yongsan R Apartment for taking photos.

We really need to be careful.

Letting people know that I have a private connection with nmixx might get reported in the news very quickly.

These things cannot happen, at least not now. This is what Wu Haiyuan has been worried about all along. If such a situation really occurs, and Wu Haiyuan proposes to break up, Han Xijun will have no time to regret it.

the other side.

Cheongdam-dong, nmixx dormitory.

downstairs.

The agent simply instructed, "Get a good rest tonight. You have half a day off this morning and can come to the company this afternoon. It was specially approved by Director Lee Ji-young."

"Really? Thank you, Director-nim, thank you, Oppa!"

"have a good rest"

With a wave, the agent drove away in a car driven by a designated driver.

At the apartment entrance. The members didn't go in immediately.

Standing in front of the gate, Lily said, "Something feels off to me."

Xue Lun'e asked, "What's wrong?"

Lily muttered, "It's hard to say. I've never been granted temporary leave since I joined the company, and tonight we just had dinner and hardly drank any alcohol."

"Haewon unnie drank it, huh?"

"Only Haiyuan drank a little champagne."

"So, Director-nim wants Hae-won unnie to get better rest?"

Wu Haiyuan waved his hand and said, "Don't say that, it's scary, I don't have that kind of face."

"Unnie doesn't have one, but brother-in-law does."

"Hey, what are you saying?"

"Oh right, Director-nim doesn't know that Unnie and Brother-in-law are secretly dating."

Lily muttered, "What if my manager oppa finds out?"

"what?"

"Otherwise, it doesn't make sense. If they were going to give us half a day off, the director would have announced it at the restaurant. I bet it was our manager who applied for it for us."

"Like this?"

"I'm guessing. Didn't our manager oppa have a private chat with our brother-in-law earlier? What if he found out? Our brother-in-law even said he wanted to eat with us in the dorm, and maybe even drink, so our manager oppa..."

The members nodded silently, fully agreeing with Lily's guess.

Wu Haiyuan said, "Don't make wild guesses. Manager Oppa wouldn't know. He couldn't possibly tell Manager Oppa."

Why?

"No reason"

Wu Haiyuan was very certain.

Of course there's a reason.

The things that worried me most before we started dating, Han Xijun definitely wouldn't let my worries come true. It's absolute trust in Han Xijun.

"Let's go upstairs."

"Not waiting for your brother-in-law?"

"Not so fast. I ordered a lot of food. I'll go upstairs to wash up first."

"Unnie, can we wash up? Can we change into our pajamas? It's not really appropriate, brother-in-law..."

"Yes, let's go upstairs and wait."

"What's wrong with washing up and changing into pajamas? Our pajamas aren't those sexy ones. Besides, my brother-in-law treats us like kids. What can he do?"

They argued the whole way.

Finally, Wu Haiyuan decided not to rush to wash up and change clothes.

Anyway, I have a half-day off tomorrow.

It's not too late.

He usually hadn't even finished get off work yet. Han Xijun bought his things and took a taxi to his dormitory building, arriving at just 10 o'clock.

Wu Haiyuan went downstairs to pick up Han Xijun.

In the elevator, Han Xijun said, "Actually, we should find a place to eat outside."

Wu Haiyuan asked, "Why? Do you find it inconvenient?"

Han Xijun nodded and said, "After all, it's not a place you live alone."

Wu Haiyuan didn't quite understand and continued to ask, "So, what do you think the members have?"

Han Xijun leaned closer to Wu Haiyuan and whispered, "Yes, they're all here. I can't even kiss you. Can they see? If they can see, I'll feel embarrassed."

Wu Haiyuan moved half a step to the side.

Han Xijun grabbed Wu Haiyuan's arm and said, "What are you doing?"

Wu Haiyuan said, "You're actually thinking about this?"

Han Xijun said matter-of-factly, "Otherwise what? Of course I'd think of that if I were to go to your place, it's not like I'm going there to visit you."

"You're still so self-righteous." "Hold on tight."

"Hold on to what?"

"mua"

Wu Haiyuan's lips were pressed heavily.

Lip points.

Han Xijun said, "Give me a kiss first, it makes me feel much better now."

"Han Xijun, you're so mean."

Han Xijun chuckled and said, "It's not too late for you to know now, but you'll definitely like it, definitely."
