Peninsula: The Great Producer

How to tell if someone has drunk too much.

There's no need to check if someone's face turns red or if they talk more after drinking.

The simplest way is to see if the person is constantly looking for alcohol.

When Lee Ji-eun started looking for alcohol, Ki Yo-gu and the other two realized she had drunk too much.

Liu Renna wanted to persuade her further, but before she could speak, Qi Yaojiu stopped her, saying, "Let her drink."

Liu Renna glanced at Bae Jonghan, who silently agreed.

Yoo In-na just felt that it wasn't good for Lee Ji-eun to be drunk.

Why was it bad? First of all, it's a pity that I didn't receive the birthday gift prepared by Qi Yao Jiu while I was sober.

Secondly, Lee Ji-eun can't have anything happen with Ki Yo-gu when she's drunk.

This also indirectly shows what kind of person Ki Yo-gu is in Yoo In-na's eyes. At least Yoo In-na never thought that Ki Yo-gu was the kind of person who would do something to bully someone when they were drunk.

The clock on the wall slowly began to tick.

Around 10 o'clock, Qi Yaojiu and Pei Zhonghan went out together.

The kitchen and dining room had been cleaned up, and the two of them, each carrying two sorted garbage bags, walked towards the elevator.

Bae Jong-han said slowly, "I can take out the trash. PDnim must be very tired after cooking all afternoon and cleaning up in the evening. Get some rest."

Qi Yaojiu shook his head and said, "It's okay, I also want to go down and get some fresh air."

Not knowing how to respond, Bae Jong-han could only give a thumbs-up and change the subject, saying, "PDnim, you have a really high alcohol tolerance."

Qi Yaojiu laughed and said, "My alcohol tolerance is not as good as yours. You're acting like you haven't drunk any alcohol at all."

Pei Zhonghan drank quite a bit, but he only drank one type of liquor, not a variety of other liquors, so he was in good condition.

There's no work scheduled for tomorrow, so I could theoretically relax tonight.

Pei Zhonghan was also a little confused about what Qi Yaojiu was thinking.

At first, he wanted to grab something quick with Yoo In-na and leave, giving Ki Yo-gu and Lee Ji-eun some alone time.

Later, when Lee Ji-eun wanted to drink, Ki Yo-gu finally didn't stop her. He thought that at most he would stop her from drinking after she got slightly tipsy. He said that he would let Lee Ji-eun know her alcohol tolerance, but he didn't expect that he would actually let Lee Ji-eun get drunk in the end.

Lee Ji-eun was drunk, so he should have stayed to take care of her, but he left Yoo In-na behind and took the trash bag with him.

I don't understand it, but I also kind of understand it. It seems that Ki Yo-gu doesn't have romantic feelings for Lee Ji-eun. Otherwise, why would he act like this?

downstairs.

One of the troublesome things about living in Country H is throwing away the trash.

Ki Yo-gu felt this way from the very beginning when he lived in the Sangam-dong apartment.

You have to buy designated garbage bags, and after sorting the garbage, you have to throw it away at a fixed time. These are really baffling rules.

After throwing away the trash, Qi Yaojiu pointed to the apartment entrance and said, "I'll see you out."

Pei Zhonghan couldn't refuse.

Walking too fast is not good, and walking too slow is not good either.

Bae Jong-han stepped on Ki Yo-gu's foot and didn't move. Suddenly, he heard Ki Yo-gu's question in his ear: "Has Ji-eun mentioned to you who she likes in the past few years?"

Looking up, Pei Zhonghan stared intently at Qi Yaojiu.

Qi Yaojiu smiled and said, "Except for me."

"PDnim knows?"

"If I can't even see that, what kind of PD am I?" Bae Jonghan subconsciously nodded, finding it very reasonable, and asked, "If PD-nim knows this, then he should also know that Ji-eun's heart has only been with PD-nim since she met him, right?"

Ki Yo-gu slowly said, "I saw that Ji-eun really liked Taeyang, a member of BIGBANG, when she was recording 'Heroes and Heroes'."

"It's a misunderstanding. Ji-eun really admires the sun, but admiration is different from liking."

“Ji-eun also admires me very much.”

"Well, it's not that I admire her but don't like her. PDnim, please don't make things difficult for me. Anyway, in the past few years, I haven't thought about anything other than work. There are artists who have passed her notes, but I haven't accepted them."

"She keeps saying she wants to turn 20 soon because PDnim said before that he wouldn't like kids under 20. PDnim should understand what I mean."

Qi Yaojiu changed the subject, "Have you heard Zhi'en mention anything about her family's intentions?"

"family?"

"What I mean is, has Ji-eun told her family that she likes me?"

Bae Jonghan stopped and thought seriously for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I really haven't heard Ji-eun mention this before, but I think if PD-nim also likes Ji-eun, he can definitely give her a formal visit."

Remembering something, Bae Jonghan added, "I know PDnim has been to Ji-eun's house before. I mean, I went there as someone who likes Ji-eun, provided that Ji-eun and PDnim are officially dating."

After walking about ten meters forward, Bae Jong-han, feeling uneasy, spoke again: "I know why PDnim said those things. Actually, you really shouldn't feel burdened. Dating is legal in our country. Many middle school students are secretly dating these days."

"Both IU and PDnim are public figures, so they should be careful. However, IU is already 19, almost 20. She's not a child anymore. Perhaps dating will have some impact on IU's career, but I think..."

Qi Yaojiu interjected, "I know all that. If I were to date Zhi'en, I wouldn't let her work be affected by her relationship. Over the years, I have demonstrated my abilities to some extent."

“Those rumors are hard to control, and there might be a lot of malicious comments, so I’m also thinking about how to transition peacefully. In the end, I hope that my fans will give me their blessings when they find out that Ji-eun and I are dating.”

Bae Jong-han grasped the key point, asking, "So, PD-nim is saying he also likes Ji-eun?"

Qi Yaojiu said with certainty, "Yes, I have always liked Zhi En. Who wouldn't like a beautiful girl who is sensible, well-behaved, filial, hardworking, ambitious, and independent?"

Bae Jong-han was a little uncomfortable.

Over the years, Qi Yaojiu has always kept silent about his personal relationships, and he has always dealt with any entanglements by changing the subject or using other cold methods.

For the first time, Qi Yaojiu openly revealed his true feelings.

Bae Jong-han is definitely happy for Lee Ji-eun.

This can be considered a case of "after the clouds disperse, the moon shines through." After years of liking and waiting, there has finally been a response.

Moreover, it's the best mutual response, not just Lee Ji-eun's one-sided affection. Plus, with what Ki Yo-gu just said, he will protect Lee Ji-eun. How lucky she is to have met such a life partner.

Ki Yo-gu waved his hand in front of Bae Jong-han's eyes: "You haven't already imagined the scene of my wedding with Ji-eun, have you?"

Bae Jong-han laughed awkwardly and said, "No, no, it's just that PDnim was too straightforward today, and I'm a little uncomfortable."

Qi Yaojiu pressed his hand down and said, "My thought is that it's not appropriate to become boyfriend and girlfriend with Zhi En right now. Since we're already living in the same place, let's slowly test the reactions of all parties first."

"What does PDnim want to do?"

Ki Yo-gu slowly said, "I wanted to have Dispatch reporter Kim Young-tae report on Ji-eun moving to a new dormitory first, and of course, also report on the news that I've become her neighbor, to see how netizens react."

Bae Jong-han was reluctant to offer his opinions.

He was thinking that Qi Yaojiu might be being too cautious.

But when he thought that doing this was all to reduce the innocent harm to Ji-eun, Bae Jong-han felt it was feasible.

Qi Yaojiu guessed the outcome from Pei Zhonghan's reaction, patted Pei Zhonghan on the shoulder and said, "I'll have to ask you to take good care of Zhi'en in the future. We're both busy and don't have much time to really get to know each other."

Bae Jong-han assured him, "PDnim, don't worry, I won't let any other men get close to Ji-eun. Leave it to me." (End of Chapter)
