Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

Once, twice.

Wu Haiyuan kept playing song videos.

Besides the cover singer's voice, a deep male voice came into my ears.

Wu Haiyuan thought it was impossible.

But when she turned to look at Han Xijun, she did indeed see Han Xijun's moving lips.

Could it be that the deep male voice was coming from Han Xijun's mouth?

He was humming along to the rhythm of the music.

"genius"

Wu Haiyuan muttered something.

This is a heartfelt exclamation.

From the perspective of an idol singer, it's an exclamation that Han Hee-joon is a genius.

He never sang off-key. The key is that he only listened to it once or twice, yet he not only became familiar with the melody but could also roughly hum the Cantonese lyrics.

What else could this be but genius?

Add to that his face, height, physique, and other physical attributes, along with his high level of education and his own genius label, and considering he's only 21 years old, Wu Haiyuan swore that if Park Jin-young PD or Lee Ji-young were sitting in the car, they would definitely want to sign Han Hee-joon and promote him to a solo debut.

His talent extends beyond the field of AI.

As the saying goes, a person destined for success will succeed no matter what they do.

This sentence was embodied in Han Xijun at this moment.

Wu Haiyuan's eyes unconsciously filled with admiration.

The video has finished playing.

Wu Haiyuan did not click the button to continue playing a third time.

While driving, Han Hee-joon sang a cappella: "It's like falling in love on a cliff~"

I caught a glimpse of the passenger seat out of the corner of my eye.

He quickly turned his head and met Wu Haiyuan's gaze, which was full of admiration as Wu Haiyuan turned to the side. Han Xijun smiled and said, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" "Han Xijun, you really are a genius."

"Hey, you know perfectly well, why are you acting like you're just finding out now?"

"I'm 100% sure you're a genius now, really. I'm the fastest learner of languages ​​in the group, but compared to you, the difference is like heaven and earth. You can sing it after only hearing it twice, amazing."

Han Xijun humbly replied, "I was just humming along; I can't sing it."

"You can sing"

"I really can't."

"But the music just stopped, and the line you sang a cappella was definitely not random; your pronunciation was very clear."

Han Xijun thought for a moment and said, "You mean that lyric from earlier? That lyric wasn't just random; it's very simple, almost like a Japanese phrase, like 'love on a cliff.' I thought you understood it."

Wu Haiyuan asked, "Is it simple?"

Han Xijun decided to start teaching Wu Haiyuan.

These are some techniques he summarized from his interactions with international students in Hong Kong during his university years, or perhaps it's because the two languages ​​have so many similarities.

It was as simple as a fleeting moment. Upon hearing Han Xijun say "fleeting moment," Wu Haiyuan immediately echoed, "Fleeting moment."

Han Xijun nodded and said, "Yes, for a moment, I was speaking Cantonese."

Wu Haiyuan asked in surprise, "Cantonese? Aren't you speaking H language?"

Han Xijun didn't answer, but instead said a series of simple words such as country, green tea, participate, magazine, sports, and family.

Wu Haiyuan heard each word clearly and understood every single one of them.

It really sounds almost exactly like the H language.

Han Hee-joon asked, "Keep it simple."

Wu Haiyuan nodded and said, "It sounds simple, but not all Cantonese is like that. Jackson, the senior from GOT7 in our company, is from Hong Kong, and his Cantonese is completely different from yours."

Han Xijun understood what Wu Haiyuan meant. Real everyday conversations are fast-paced, and dialects are further subdivided into many smaller categories such as Cantonese and Hakka, so the vocabulary is definitely different from what Han Xijun was just teaching.

However, lyrics are different from everyday conversation. The words used in lyrics are simpler and easier to understand. Han Xijun was just sharing a quick way to learn Cantonese with Wu Haiyuan. In today's internet vocabulary, this method is called "heretical cultivation".

Kakao

The chat room became lively. The other members also watched the video and listened to the cover song, and felt that the song Lily found was very suitable for them.

It's an OST for an adult drama, so the melody is familiar. You just need to focus on learning the lyrics, which is much simpler than learning a song or lyrics from scratch.

The car has already arrived in Incheon.

Wu Haiyuan and the other members were chatting about Kakao, while Han Xijun slowed down and drove to the Songdo Outlet Mall first.

Once inside the underground parking garage, Wu Haiyuan asked, "Have we arrived?"

Han Xijun said, "The shopping mall."

"shopping mall?"

"I can't go home empty-handed, can I?"

Wu Haiyuan quickly typed two messages on his phone and then locked the screen.

He glanced around.

Han Xijun parked the car.

There were very few parking spaces in the garage, and people who had been studying or working elsewhere on the first day of the new year public holiday had all returned to Incheon.

There must be a lot of people in the mall.

With a bare face, Wu Haiyuan asked worriedly, "Should I just go in like this?"

Han Xijun joked, "You'll be sad if no one recognizes you when you go in like this."

"Oh dear, I'll still be recognized even if I'm not wearing makeup."

I don't believe it.

"If I were alone, I would have gone in already, but the problem is you."

Han Xijun said confidently, "That's true. I'm always without makeup, so I get recognized very quickly wherever I go. People really shouldn't be too famous."

Wu Haiyuan couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.

The most famous person in Incheon right now is Han Hee-joon.

No idol or actor matters compared to Han Xijun.

What most people focus on is someone who stands out in a field that is watched worldwide. Take Faker, the e-sports player, for example. He's not a celebrity, but that doesn't stop him from having a level of recognition and popularity that surpasses all stars. He's someone people can be proud of in the gaming world, someone that everyone can be proud of.

The same goes for Han Xijun. As the internet becomes increasingly integrated into daily life, when people mention AI or Kakao, the first person that comes to mind is Han Xijun.

When Wu Haiyuan and the other members went to the convenience store to buy things, they heard other customers bragging to their companions, "Our country has Han Xijun."

"for you"

Wu Haiyuan took the mask and muttered, "You've started preparing these things in advance now."

Opening the car door, Han Xijun said, "What do you mean 'now'? We've already prepared everything before we went out together. I'm a very thoughtful man."

Wu Haiyuan also got off the car.

Walking around to the front of the car, Wu Haiyuan, wearing a mask, chimed in, "Yes, yes, you're a thoughtful man, the best man in the world."

Han Xijun took Wu Haiyuan's hand and said, "Although it's true, let's keep a low profile."

Why are you holding my hand?

"Does a boyfriend need a reason to hold his girlfriend's hand?"

"There are so many people." "So what? Nobody recognizes us. Even if they do, it's no big deal."

"How is that possible?"

"I'll just say I'm your cousin then."

"What? Uncle? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Aren't they all just making things up when they're 'caught' by reporters? I think all celebrities are like that, unless they absolutely have to admit it."

Wu Haiyuan sighed and only said "madman" before arguing with Han Xijun.
