Peninsula: Starting with forming a group with the nation's little sister

Chapter 124 Xiao Yuan, what's going on?

The two entered the lounge one after the other. As the door closed, Bae Suzy turned around and threw herself into Lin Yuan's arms.

She pounded her hands on his chest repeatedly, her voice choked with sobs as she cried out:

"You bastard, why don't you come to me first! Why!"

"Waaaaah~"

Lin Yuan's smile vanished instantly. He never expected that Pei Xiuzhi, who was always radiant and smiling, would be crying like an abandoned rabbit, her face streaked with tears.

He felt a warm sensation in his chest; he knew it was Bae Soo-ji's tears, her grievances.

"You're such a bad guy!"

After saying that, Bae Suzy bit Lin Yuan's chest.

"uh-huh!"

Lin Yuan let out a muffled groan, barely managing to suppress it.

Bae Suzy didn't loosen her grip at all, until a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

She asked, with a mixture of reproach and heartache, "Are you Pabu? Why didn't you hide?"

Lin Yuan replied casually, "As long as you're not angry, it's just a piece of meat, you can just throw it away."

After hearing this, Bae Suzy angrily pushed him away and secretly wiped away her tears.

Then she suddenly turned around, jumped into Lin Yuan's arms, and kissed him tightly.

I miss you! I miss you so much! I miss you so, so, so much!

Before Lin Yuan could speak, he kissed him deeply again.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan could only respond.

Gradually, the atmosphere in the lounge became ambiguous.

.....

After half an hour.

Bae Suzy lay on the sofa, her face flushed, waving her hands repeatedly.

She feels completely drained.

Bae Suzy kept complaining in her heart, but her smile remained unchanged on her face.

Lin Yuan rolled over and lay down next to her, pulling her into his arms and gently stroking her back.

"Mianne, I'm sorry you had to suffer."

Bae Suzy paused, then turned over and nestled in his arms, gently stroking the wound with her fingers.

"It must hurt a lot!"

He secretly blamed himself for using so much force.

Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't hurt! It feels great!"

Bae Suzy rolled her eyes at him and slapped him.

Hiss~

Lin Yuan gasped.

"Let's see if you're still pretending!"

Bae Suzy snorted and got up, slowly putting on her clothes. Then she kicked Lin Yuan to the ground. "Hurry up and get dressed, it won't look good if someone sees us."

???

Lin Yuan sat on the ground, looking at her like she was an idiot, his eyes seeming to say: Didn't you insist on having a match? Now you're urging me to hurry up, do you think I, a dignified boss, have no rights?

However, he could only think these thoughts to himself. He didn't want to have two more wounds on his body, because that would definitely give him away when he went back.

After the two finished getting ready, Bae Suzy left first, instructing them, "Wait for my call, and don't contact me unless it's absolutely necessary."

Then he turned and closed the door without looking back.

Lin Yuan was speechless. He looked at the wound on his chest and then at the lipstick mark on his face.

Damn! I got slept with?

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and finally decided to do as she said, since there wasn't much else he could do.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, Lin Yuan came out of the lounge and wandered around casually.

Along the way, some trainees who knew him bowed and greeted him, and Lin Yuan responded with a smile.

After he left, I heard rustling conversations behind me.

"Oh my god, is that Lin Yuan oppa? He's ridiculously handsome."

"That's right, not only is he ridiculously handsome, but he's also the company's largest shareholder, and he's very talented."

At the same time, the elevator stopped on this floor.

The next second, a figure rushed out from inside.

"Hey! Sana, stop right there!"

Lim Na-yeon shouted from behind.

"Hehehe~ Nayeon unnie, come and chase me!"

Sana ran and made faces, completely unaware that someone was in front of her.

At that moment, Nayeon, Jihyo, and Tzuyu behind them hurriedly shouted, "Sana (Sana unnie), watch out!"

"Hahaha, trying to trick me? I won't fall for it."

As soon as she finished speaking, it was as if she had bumped into something, and she was bounced back and then... sat down on the ground with a thud.

"Ouch~"

Sana sat on the ground, one hand supporting her waist and the other rubbing her head, letting out a cry.

Lin Yuan was doing just fine, but he never expected to have such good luck at the company.

He only felt footsteps behind him, and then he was knocked away by a soft marshmallow. He quickly regained his balance in a comical way until he leaned against the wall to steady himself.

Lin Yuan helplessly patted his clothes, turned around and looked at Sana, who was sitting on the ground rubbing her head, and then looked at Lim Nayeon, Park Jihyo and Chou Tzuyu, who ran over nervously.

"Are you alright? You need to watch where you're going." Lin Yuan stepped forward and reached out to help her.

Sana groggily raised her head.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan, she was taken aback at first, then her cheeks flushed slightly. She quickly grasped his hand and stood up, repeatedly apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! President Lin, I was being too noisy just now and didn't notice you."

"Sana, are you alright?"

Lim Nayeon then ran over and carefully checked Sana over. After confirming she wasn't injured, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed slightly to Lim Won.

"President Lin, I'm so sorry, this child always likes to run around in the hallway. I hope he didn't hurt you?"

Park Jihyo and Chou Tzu-yu also followed behind and politely greeted Lin Yuan.

"I'm fine, I'm very resilient."

Lin Yuan waved his hand and smiled indifferently, "But at this speed, if you guys go any faster, I reckon I'll be thrown against the wall and hanging there."

Hearing Lin Yuan's joke, the group, who had been somewhat tense, couldn't help but chuckle softly, instantly easing the awkward atmosphere in the corridor.

"But where are you all rushing off to? Isn't the practice room on the other side?"

Lin Yuan looked in the direction they came from and asked with some curiosity.

As one of the company's main leaders, although he doesn't often get involved in the specific training details, he still knows a lot about TWICE, who will become a huge hit in the future, after all, he watched a lot of videos in his previous life.

If you think about it, they've only been in the industry for less than a year.

Park Jihyo, as the representative, stepped forward and explained, "President Lim, we just finished our practice session, and the teacher gave us a twenty-minute break. Nayeon unnie and Sana were fighting over the last bag of snacks in the elevator, and as soon as the elevator doors opened, Sana rushed out first."

After saying that, Park Jihyo gave Sana a helpless look.

"Hey, Jihyo, Nayeon unnie took it from me first!" Sana rubbed her waist and retorted softly, but her eyes secretly glanced at Lin Yuan, afraid that the major shareholder would be angry because of their rudeness.

However, Lin Yuan simply smiled and shook his head.

Looking at these energetic young girls, his initial fatigue from being "tortured" by Bae Suzy in the lounge eased considerably.

"Alright, grabbing snacks is fine, but you still need to be careful when running around in the hallway."

"If you get injured and it affects your return and training, it won't just be a matter of losing a bag of snacks." Lin Yuan's joking expression disappeared, and his tone was gentle but carried a hint of an elder's admonition.

"Yes, we understand, and we will definitely pay attention in the future," Lim Nayeon replied earnestly, putting aside her playful nature.

Chou Tzu-yu stood to the side, her big eyes quietly watching Lin Yuan.

Suddenly, she seemed to notice something. Her gaze lingered briefly on Lin Yuan's collar and neck, then she blinked in confusion, but wisely remained silent.

Lin Yuan keenly noticed Zhou Ziyu's gaze, and his heart sank.

"Damn, I almost forgot, that girl Bae Suzy seems to have left quite a few 'marks' on me. I've wiped off the lipstick stains on my face, but my collar might still be a little messy."

He subtly reached out and tugged at his suit jacket, then casually straightened his shirt collar, clearing his throat to cover his embarrassment.

"Well, since it's break time, go get some water. Practice hard later, I'm rooting for you guys."

"Thank you, Oppa! We'll do our best!" the girls replied in unison.

"Then I'll head back to my office first." Lin Yuan waved his hand, turned around, and walked steadily toward the elevator.

Lin Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief only after seeing the elevator doors slowly close, and quickly checked himself carefully in the mirror inside the elevator.

When he saw that the top button of his shirt was a little loose and he could vaguely see red marks near his collarbone, he couldn't help but rub his temples.

"This young lady has really given me a lot of trouble..."

Lin Yuan shook his head with a wry smile, tightened his tie, and tried to completely cover up those absurd traces.

At noon, he followed Park Jin-young to try JYP's cafeteria.

How should I put it? He experienced for the first time the hardships of herbivores.

This doesn't look like food for humans at all; it's pure animal feed.

After finishing his meal, he found an empty rest room and took a nap.

'Buzz~'

The phone in Lin Yuan's pocket suddenly vibrated. He took it out and saw the name "Bae Joo-hyun" flashing on the screen.

He pressed the answer button, and her gentle voice quickly came from the other end of the line:

"Xiao Yuan, can you come pick me up downstairs at SM now? I'm done with my work here."

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment.

He glanced at the time on his phone: 2:00 PM.

Didn't she say she was having dinner last night? Why is she here so early?

But I'm bored right now, so it's good to get to know the cabbage a little better.

"Yes, I'll set off immediately!"

"Pfft! Hahaha, well... then be careful on the road, hahaha."

Perhaps Bae Joo-hyun realized that she was laughing a bit too loudly, so she simply hung up.

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly.

I'd heard about SM Entertainment's signature "auntie laugh" before, but I didn't expect to hear it so easily. It's like I've confirmed it for netizens—it really is an auntie laugh.

He got up, stretched, and then left JYP.

.....

Half an hour later, the car stopped in a deserted spot next to SM.

Lin Yuan sent a message to Bae Joo-hyun and then waited where he was.

*Thud!*

Hiss~ Whoosh~

"You're smoking again!"

The sudden sound startled Lin Yuan, and the cigarette he had just lit fell to the ground.

He turned his head and saw Bae Joo-hyun, who was wrapped up tightly and squatting on the ground looking at him.

"Haha, what's with Noona's outfit? Are you getting ready to busk?"

Lin Yuan joked with a smile.

There's no other reason than that Bae Joo-hyun is so small that if he hadn't spoken up, he might never have realized there was someone else there.

Bae Joo-hyun ignored him and opened the passenger door and got in.

She entered a destination into the navigation app, "Let's go!"

Lin Yuan glanced at it. "The movie theater?"

Bae Joo-hyun nodded, hummed in agreement, and then closed her eyes to rest.

In order to spend more time with Lin Yuan, she managed to compress the song that would normally take two days to record into one day.

From last night until 3 a.m., I slept for three hours at the company and then continued recording, finally finishing in the afternoon and meeting up with Lin Yuan.

It's tiring, but it's worth it!!!

Lin Yuan looked at Bae Joo-hyun beside him, whose breathing was gradually becoming steady and even, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

Noona is really going all out!

As he spoke, he turned up the car's air conditioning temperature by a few degrees, then pulled a clean jacket from the back seat and gently covered her with it.

Throughout the journey, Lin Yuan drove very steadily, deliberately avoiding bumpy roads.

Half an hour later, the car slowly drove into the underground parking lot of the movie theater.

Looking at Bae Joo-hyun's tired sleeping face, Lin Yuan couldn't bear to wake her. He simply turned off the engine and quietly leaned back in his chair to keep her company.

About twenty minutes later, Bae Joo-hyun groggily opened her eyes, her coat slipping off her shoulders.

She rubbed her slightly dazed eyes, her voice hoarse from just waking up: "Are we there yet? Why didn't you wake me up?"

"You're sleeping soundly, and we still have plenty of time." Lin Yuan smiled and took off his coat. "Wake up, let's go upstairs."

Bae Joo-hyun put her mask and hat back on, checked herself in the mirror to make sure there were no flaws, and then walked into the elevator with Lin Yuan one after the other.

Because it was a weekday afternoon, there weren't many people in the movie theater.

Lin Yuan chose a relatively obscure art film and bought a bucket of popcorn and two drinks.

The two sat in a dimly lit corner at the back of the theater, surrounded by only a few other couples.

As the movie began, the light and shadow on the screen shone on Bae Joo-hyun's fair profile.

She seemed to really enjoy this rare moment of leisure, munching on popcorn while intently watching the big screen.

Occasionally, when she sees an interesting scene, she will turn her head and whisper in Lin Yuan's ear to share it with him.

The warm breath on his ear, carrying a faint scent of shampoo, made Lin Yuan's mind wander.

He subconsciously tightened his collar, afraid that the occasional light from the big screen would reveal the marks on his neck.

When I came out of the movie theater, it was already getting dark.

"Where to next?" Lin Yuan asked, stretching his slightly sore shoulders.

Bae Joo-hyun rubbed her stomach, her voice muffled beneath her mask: "I'm a little hungry. I want to go to Gwangjang Market for some street food. It's been a long time since I've had a proper meal of their spicy rice cakes and kimbap."

"If Noona has spoken, then we must make the arrangements."

The two drove to a nearby food street. The traditional market was bustling with activity at night, the air filled with the aroma of fried food and broth.

To avoid attracting attention, Bae Joo-hyun followed closely behind Lin Yuan, grabbing onto his clothes.

I wish I could walk like this forever.

Lin Yuan led her to a roadside stall that looked relatively hidden. The two awkwardly squeezed onto a bench and ordered steaming hot spicy stir-fried rice cakes, fish cake soup, and a serving of blood sausage.

"Phew...it's so hot."

Bae Joo-hyun carefully pulled her mask down to her chin, picked up a piece of rice cake, blew on it, and eagerly stuffed it into her mouth, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with happiness.

"Is it good?" Lin Yuan handed over a tissue.

"It's so delicious! I have to control my diet every day at the company, but I don't care today. I'll just go back and practice dancing for two more hours."

As she spoke, Bae Joo-hyun picked up a skewer of fish cakes and held it to Lim Won's lips, "Here, try this, the broth is very flavorful."

Lin Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and took a bite from her hand. The two of them, like any ordinary couple in love, shared simple food amidst the noisy, smoky atmosphere, their nerves, which had been tense all day, completely relaxing at this moment.

After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, the night breeze blew in, carrying away the heat from our bodies.

"Let's take a walk along the Han River to digest our food," Bae Joo-hyun suggested.

The Han River Park shimmered under the night sky, and the bridges in the distance were lit up with colorful lights.

The two walked side by side on the riverside path. The river breeze was a bit cool, causing Bae Joo-hyun to hunch her shoulders slightly.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan was about to take off his coat and hand it to her when he saw Bae Joo-hyun suddenly stop and turn around, her clear eyes staring straight at his neck.

The streetlights along the river shone directly on Lin Yuan's face. While eating snacks earlier, because it was so hot, Lin Yuan had casually unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, leaving the collar wide open.

Bae Joo-hyun frowned slightly, took a step forward, and extended her cool fingers to gently touch the obvious dark red mark above his collarbone.

"Xiao Yuan..." Bae Joo-hyun's voice lowered, carrying a sinister aura, "What's wrong with you?"
