Peninsula: The Great Producer

The four people tiptoed open the door and crowded into the entrance hall.

Lee Jong-hoon said in a low voice, "It's okay, they're probably all asleep."

"Shh, keep your voice down, Grandma usually goes to bed very late."

"how do you know?"

"Do you think everyone sleeps like a pig like you?"

Just as Lee Jong-hoon was about to retort, the living room lights came on.

None of the four heard any sound from the living room. If there were anyone there, they would at least have turned on the TV to watch TV programs.

Lee Ji-eun was originally standing at the front, but Ki Yo-gu changed his shoes and stood in front of her.

Everyone has a childish moment.

Today, Lee Ji-eun truly witnessed Ki Yo-gu's naivety.

Standing next to Lee Jong-hoon, looking ready for anything, the two even exchanged a serious conversation: "Hyung, be careful."

"If we encounter thieves, I'll go first. You protect my cousin and Zhi'en."

Lee Jong-hoon pounded his chest and said confidently, "Hyung, leave it to me."

Lee Ji-eun and Jang Eun-hee, standing behind, looked helpless.

Is the beer in the karaoke room fake? That's the only explanation. Otherwise, how could Ki Yo-gu be hanging out with Lee Jong-hoon?

They groped their way closer to the living room.

Lee Jong-hoon jumped out first, shouting, "Hyung, I'll go first!"

As he jumped, Lee Jong-hoon stretched out his arms in a defensive stance.

Grandma's voice came from the living room: "Lee Jong-hoon, do you want to get a beating?"

Lee Jong-hoon immediately became obedient, and Ki Yo-gu also obediently sniffed: "Grandma hasn't rested yet?"

Lee Ji-eun and Jang Eun-hee followed, leaving only Grandma in the living room.

Thankfully the lights were on, otherwise it would have been quite creepy to see a shadowy figure sitting on the sofa in the dark living room.

Lee Ji-eun ran to the living room in a spoiled manner, took her grandmother's hand, and said, "Grandma, why aren't you resting yet? It's so late."

Grandma replied, "You know it's late now? We told you to come back earlier, but it's already past midnight."

Lee Jong-hoon muttered, "Grandma, the nightlife is just starting at 12 o'clock. If Lee Ji-eun were in Seoul, she'd probably be out eating, drinking, and having fun at this time."

Lee Ji-eun glared at Lee Jong-hoon.

Grandma naturally didn't believe it, saying, "Your sister is usually so busy with work, she probably just finished work at this time, don't talk nonsense here."

"That's right, Grandma understands me best."

Zhang Enxi interjected, "It's getting late, Grandma should get some rest."

Grandma looked at Zhang Enxi and said, "Enxi, you are the older sister, you should bring your younger brothers and sisters back sooner."

Zhang Enxi innocently pointed at Qi Yaojiu.

Here, Qi Yao Jiu is the oldest.

Besides, Lee Ji-eun and Lee Jong-hoon would listen to Ki Yo-gu, not her.

Plus, it's very relaxing to go out and have fun with Qi Yao Jiu.

No matter what he wanted, what he wanted to play, or what he wanted to eat, Qi Yaojiu didn't ask any questions and just satisfied him. Afterwards, he had a lot of fun with everyone.

Qi Yaojiu quickly said, "Grandma, it's all my fault. I wanted to wander around outside a bit more, so I came back late."

Everyone thought Grandma wouldn't say anything to Ki Yo-gu, but to their surprise, Grandma treated Ki Yo-gu the same way, asking, "Do you often play outside like this in Seoul late at night?"

Qi Yaojiu waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, I rarely go out to play. My life is almost entirely between the company, the broadcasting station, and home."

"That's right. You're busier than Ji-eun, so you probably don't have time to go out at night. Okay, everyone go wash up and get some rest."

When Grandma spoke up, my plan to secretly eat a late-night snack in the living room with food from the fridge was ruined.

Lee Jong-hoon looked at Lee Ji-eun with some resentment.

If Lee Ji-eun hadn't said that her aunt's cooking was delicious tonight, they would have been eating out for a late-night snack before they got back.

Now look what happened! All they wanted was a late-night snack, but they ended up going hungry.

Qi Yaojiu didn't know what to say. He was a guest, and if he said he was hungry, his grandmother would definitely prepare food. However, it was too late, and Qi Yaojiu didn't dare to bother his grandmother.

Public restrooms.

Four people were brushing their teeth in a line.

Qi Yaojiu's toothbrush and towel were both newly bought by her uncle at the convenience store last night.

Standing in a row, Qi Yaojiu joked, "Don't the four of us standing like this look like a cell phone signal?"

"Daebak, it really looks like him!"

From tallest to shortest, they are Ki Yo-gu, Lee Jong-hoon, Jang Eun-hee, and Lee Ji-eun.

Lee Ji-eun disagreed, shaking her head and saying, "It doesn't look like it at all."

Lee Jong-hoon comforted him, "I know why you won't admit it. You're still growing, and you have a chance to grow taller."

Lee Ji-eun doesn't like people talking about her height or appearance.

She raised her hand to teach Lee Jong-hoon a lesson, but Lee Jong-hoon dodged behind Ki Yo-gu and made a face at Lee Ji-eun, which made Lee Ji-eun so angry that she clenched her fists and wanted to beat Lee Jong-hoon up.

"Shh, keep your voice down, stop fooling around."

Ki Yo-gu's words really worked; Lee Jong-hoon and Lee Ji-eun immediately became obedient.

Jang Eun-hee exclaimed, "This scene makes it seem like the four of us are really brothers and sisters. You're the oppa, I'm the second sister, Ji-eun is the third sister, and Jong-hoon is the maknae."

The age order is indeed like that, Qi Yaojiu said after joking around, "I used to envy families with many siblings."

"Is Oppa an only child?"

"Yes, an only child."

Zhang Enxi asked curiously, "How could Oppa's grandma let him go to Seoul alone?"

Lee Ji-eun answered on his behalf: "Of course, Grandma believes that Oppa can do well in Seoul. Oppa is very smart. He was the first person from Wanjae Island to be admitted to Hanyang University."

Lee Jong-hoon muttered to himself, "How do you know?"

Lee Ji-eun answered affirmatively, "Of course I know. When we went to Wanjae Island before, my grandma told me a lot about Oppa."

Zhang Enxi asked Li Zhi'en with a mischievous smile, "You've been to Oppa's house before?"

Lee Ji-eun nodded: "I've been there. I even went fishing with Oppa and Seohae Oppa."

"Xihai Oppa?"

"That's Oppa's best friend since childhood. He's a really funny guy. If there's a chance in the future, I'll introduce him to you. You'll definitely be amused by Oppa Seohae."

Lee Jong-hoon looked at Ki Yo-gu and asked, "Brother, when can I go to Wan-jae Island?"

Qi Yaojiu smiled and said, "Want to go?"

"Yeah, I want to go."

"If you can get into the top ten in your class in the final exam, I'll take you to Wancai Island during summer vacation."

Lee Jong-hoon really wanted to visit Ki-Yo-gu's hometown.

But setting a requirement of ranking in the top ten in the exam is just making things difficult for people.

He decisively gave up, muttering to himself, "I'll go do it myself when I start earning money at work."

Lee Ji-eun said with exasperation, "You can't even do something as simple as getting into the top ten? You think you can just work and earn money? Do you know how hard it is to earn money?"

Lee Jong-hoon certainly didn't know, but he could confidently say, "I'll be your driver from now on. When you're not going out, I'll stay in the office with you. Is it hard? I don't think so."

Lee Ji-eun raised her hand as if to leave Lee Jong-hoon again, saying, "Can't you be a little more dignified?"

Qi Yaojiu stopped them, saying, "Alright, it's too late. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Go and get some rest."

Lee Jong-hoon pursed his lips and said, "Some people probably won't be able to sleep tonight, bro. We must lock our doors when we sleep, in case someone sneaks in at night."

Lee Ji-eun blows her bangs.

These words were meant for her.

Speechless.

Are you that kind of person?
However, it seems like falling asleep won't be so easy tonight; Lee Ji-eun is still thinking about announcing it to Hara and the others. (End of Chapter)
