Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

It's not that I don't like Han Hee-joon.

I never thought that my relationship with Han Xijun would end.

too early.

too fast.

They've only just started dating.

Even if you like each other very much, you still need to think carefully about a long-term marriage.

Especially the various frictions that may occur in life.

There probably won't be too much friction with Han Xijun. To be realistic, there's a high probability that there won't be any friction in the most important economic area, and other frictions are relatively not a problem or trouble.

It's just a feeling.

Wu Haiyuan is still unsure, as he doesn't know much about it yet.

After seeing the other members off upstairs, Wu Zhiyuan was left alone in the restaurant.

"My sister." "Unnie, where is he?"

"Him? Oh, your boyfriend? Your boyfriend went back to his room to wash up and rest. He just received a phone call saying there was some kind of cooperation meeting."

"Unnie, please don't drink anymore. I'll tidy up. Unnie, please go rest on the sofa and wait for me."

Wu Zhiyuan waved his hand and asked, "Waiting for what?"

Wu Haiyuan lowered his voice and said, "Wait for me, let's go together."

Wu Zhiyuan then asked, "Where to?"

Wu Haiyuan retorted, "Does Unnie intend to stay here?"

Wu Zhiyuan nodded slowly and muttered, "Otherwise, my brother-in-law's house has so many guest rooms, I can just sleep in any one of them."

Wu Haiyuan was frightened.

She took a taxi to send the members off first, having decided that she wouldn't be in the dorm tonight.

But instead of staying at Han Xijun's house, she cleaned the dining table, sorted the trash, and then went with Wu Zhiyuan to a hotel near the dormitory.

I need to get up early tomorrow morning and go back to the dorm to meet the other members while our manager picks me up for work. Now that Wu Zhiyuan says he wants to stay here, what am I going to do? I can't just go to a hotel alone.

Going back to the dorm is not out of the question.

The question is: Is Wu Zhiyuan staying alone at Han Xijun's house?

Will this work?

Wu Haiyuan believed that nothing unexpected would happen, but her belief was useless; there's always an exception, and what if something did?

More importantly, what if Wu Zhiyuan stays here for one night and leaves tomorrow, and others see him and misunderstand Han Xijun?

What if Wu Zhiyuan, who has drunk too much, gets up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and opens the wrong door when he returns to his room?

Various thoughts raced through Wu Haiyuan's mind.

"No, absolutely not, Unnie has to come with me."

Wu Zhiyuan muttered to herself, seemingly refuting something, telling Wu Haiyuan that her time and energy had been wasted. She argued that staying overnight at Han Xijun's house wasn't illegal, and that Wu Haiyuan must have stayed there as well. It had been many years since the two sisters had slept in the same room and bed.

Wu Haiyuan quickly tidied up the dining table.

After washing up and drying his hair, Han Xijun changed into his pajamas. He checked the pajamas and found them to be fine before leaving the room. The lights in the living room were all off. Han Xijun walked to the front of the living room; the dining table had been cleaned.

I glanced at the entrance.

There were no women's shoes there.

I didn't go to check the guest rooms.

Wu Haiyuan and Wu Zhiyuan must have left.

Han Xijun took out his phone and dialed Wu Haiyuan's number.

Doodle.

After a few seconds, Wu Haiyuan answered the phone.

Han Xijun asked, "You're gone?"

Wu Haiyuan said, "Okay, Unnie and I will stay at a hotel near the dormitory."

Han Xijun glanced back at the guest room and said, "There are empty rooms at home."

Wu Haiyuan replied, "It's not appropriate for me and Unnie to stay at your place, and I also need to go back to the dorm early tomorrow. These days, our managers drive us to and from work, and if they find out I'm not at the dorm, we're doomed." Wu Haiyuan didn't mention that Han Xijun had a collaboration meeting tomorrow morning. If they really stayed at Han Xijun's house, Han Xijun might even get up early to buy groceries and cook for them.

That's so tiring.

Upon hearing Wu Haiyuan's words, Han Xijun muttered, "Do you guys really have to live in dorms?"

Wu Haiyuan heard it.

But she pretended not to hear.

The conversation returned to what we had discussed at the dinner table.

Han Xijun didn't say it explicitly, but Wu Haiyuan could tell that Han Xijun wanted to buy a house, decorate it according to Wu Haiyuan's preferences, and then have Wu Haiyuan move out of the dormitory so that the two of them could live together.

There's nothing wrong with that in itself.

Many couples nowadays live like this.

Wu Haiyuan just didn't want to.

As the group's leader, it wouldn't be right for her to move out before even having lived in the dorm for a full year. Living together in the dorm, sharing joys and sorrows, and realizing dreams together—this is Wu Haiyuan's current life and work plan.

Han Xijun told Wu Haiyuan to be careful, as Wu Zhiyuan had drunk quite a bit and taking care of him might be tiring. Please remember the only official website for this novel: www.deqixs.org. This is the only website; other websites may be discontinued at any time.

Wu Haiyuan told Han Xijun not to worry.

Suddenly, Wu Zhiyuan's voice came through the receiver. He didn't seem drunk at all; he spoke clearly, enunciating each word distinctly: "I've tried my best. There's nothing I can do if someone just won't get it."

"That's all for now, bye."

Wu Haiyuan ended the call.

Standing in front of the living room, Han Xijun looked at his phone and read aloud with a smile, "My sister is really helping, haha~ 500 yuan isn't enough, she's too timid."

The label now includes "cowardly".

Wu Haiyuan thought Han Xijun was "angry".

The main issue was that from that night until December of the year, apart from a few messages or occasional phone calls each day, the two did not see each other for about two and a half months.

nmixx achieved remarkable results in their debut year, successfully winning two awards at the 2022 Asia Artist Awards: "aaa new wave" and "best emotive award".

In the busiest entertainment industry at the end of the year, news about various award ceremonies and year-end stages is updated daily.

Han Xijun has been appearing more frequently in the financial and technology news at the end of the year. The Kakao Group and KG Group have signed an agreement to collaborate on a new energy vehicle AI project.

Meanwhile, SK Hynix also announced that it will launch a new high-bandwidth memory chip in January next year, and will continue to deepen its cooperation with Kakao Group's AI R&D center in the second quarter of next year to develop a series of dynamic random access memory products.

Kakao Group.

15th floor, AI R&D center.

Even though it's not Christmas yet, the large office is already decorated with a Christmas atmosphere.

The only functional office area in the entire Kakao Group that was arranged in advance was the AI ​​R&D Center, which is the only department within the Kakao Group with exceptional privileges.

Starting from the elevator exit, the corridor is lined with Christmas trees.

The best atmosphere is in the break room, and even during the day, Christmas-themed songs are played in the office.

After making herself a cup of coffee, Li Shiyan stopped Bai Enxi and asked, "Is today's song a newly changed one?"

Baek Eun-hee calmly replied, "Yes, the team leader told me to change it."

Kwon Ji-ho appeared out of nowhere, holding a water glass, and chuckled, "Team Leader Lee is still not careful enough. This song is nmixx's Christmas single. With you being so careless, won't your year-end bonus be affected?"

Turning to Baek Eun-hee, Kwon Ji-ho asked, "Secretary Baek, has the year-end bonus form been sent to the team leader? What's the progress of the process?" Baek Eun-hee remained calm and said, "The team leader has signed and confirmed it. It will be sent to the HR department later, with copies to the chairman's office and the secretary's office."

"How many? More than last year?"

"Let the team leader tell me. He's arranged a restaurant for our get-together tomorrow night."

Kwon Ji-ho was still asking, "Tomorrow night? Why not tonight?"

Baek Eun-hee let slip: "Tonight, the team leader is treating the president to dinner."

"real?"

"Did I say anything? I don't know, I went to work on the annual report."

Baek Eun-hee is gone.

Kwon Ji-ho and Lee Si-yeon huddled together and whispered in unison, "Is this the first time Team Leader has treated Chairman to a meal?"

"Why do you think that is?"

"you say"

"Never mind, it's none of our business. It's just a high-end dinner for top executives."
