Peninsula: It’s just a dream, are you serious?

Chapter 548 She'll Be the Last One (Seeking Double Monthly Tickets!)

"Oppa, what happened to your lips?"

The following day at noon, inside the JYP cafeteria.

While sitting opposite Chen Yan, Minatozaki Sana chewed her food and noticed the wound on Chen Yan's lower lip. She asked him a question out of curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Chou Tzu-yu, Momo, and Mina, who were standing nearby, also looked over curiously.

There is indeed a wound, and it's quite noticeable.

Chen Yan smacked his lips and laughed, "Oh, it's nothing. I just bumped into something last night. It'll be fine in a couple of days."

He checked the wound after he got home last night. Little Iceberg's bite was indeed quite vicious; the wound was quite obvious and could be seen with a closer look.

"Oh, oppa, please be careful and try not to touch the wound."

"okay, I get it."

The puppy smiled at the oppa, then lowered its head and continued to happily eat its roast beef.

Hehe, I ran into oppa again today, and even got to eat grilled beef, so happy!
Beside Chen Yan, Zhou Ziyu said in a soft voice, "Brother, you can apply some medicine to the wound before going to bed at night, it will help it heal faster."

Chen Yan smiled and reached out to rub her head: "Okay~ I know, I will."

The girl returned a sweet smile and lowered her head to continue eating her meal obediently.

Chen Yan blinked as he looked at the girl's profile, which appeared to be a bit fairer than before.

Tzuyu has grown up a bit; she's becoming more and more of a beauty.

According to Taeyeon and Yoona, after her debut, she was voted "World's Most Beautiful Woman" by an online poll, meaning she was ranked number one in the world for beauty.

He turned his head and looked at the three Japanese people opposite him; the three of them had also become more and more handsome.

Sana Minatozaki has a sweet smile and a sweet voice, and her bright, puppy-dog eyes have a clever quality to them.

Momo has intelligent eyes and looks like an honest child. Most importantly, this child also has a broad mind that is ahead of his peers.

Mina is quiet and reserved, with a cool and aloof demeanor. When she is not speaking, she sometimes exudes a sense of vulnerability.

It's fair to say that each of these four individuals has their own unique charm, and there's a reason why they're likely to become members of the top-ranking group Twice.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle softly, then pulled himself out of his thoughts, picked up his chopsticks, and continued eating.

After having lunch together, the group parted ways on the trainee floor. Chen Yan returned to his office, took a short nap, and then immersed himself in composing the song again.

The song "Some" that he wrote for Bae Suzy is progressing well and is expected to be completely finished in the next couple of days.

Time slipped away amidst the busyness, and before long, a cell phone ring pulled Chen Yan back from his creative state.

He picked up the phone; it was a call from Park Jin-young.

"Hey, Jinyoung."

Park Jin-young's voice, tinged with amusement, came through: "Xiao Yan, come up here for a moment. I have something important to discuss with you."

"okay."

Upon hearing that it was an important matter, Chen Yan did not dare to delay. He immediately agreed, hung up the phone, and got up to leave the office.

He walked to Park Jin-young's office and sat down opposite him.

"Brother Zhenying, what's the important thing?"

Park Jin-young smiled at him, then suddenly froze a second later.

"Xiao Yan, what happened to your lips?"

"Uh, I bumped into something last night. It's nothing, Zhenying-ge, just a minor injury."

"Oh, then take care of your wound."

With a touch of concern, Park Jin-young turned the computer screen towards him; "Xiao Yan, look at this."

The screen displays a promotional page from Melon's official website.

The theme is: [2013 Melon Music Awards]

Chen Yan was slightly taken aback and looked at Park Jin-young.

Park Jin-young smiled and said, "I called you here for this. It's almost the end of the year, and some important music awards will be selected one after another."

There are many music award ceremonies in the Peninsula music industry, among which there are four that are the most well-known and the most important.

These are the Golden Disc Awards, MAMA, Seoul Music Awards, and the Melon Music Awards, which are currently displayed on the computer screen.

Of the four award ceremonies, the most authoritative is undoubtedly the Golden Disc Awards, hosted by the Peninsula Recording Industry Association, and is hailed as the "Grammys of the Peninsula".

The selection process combines album sales, music streaming data, and expert reviews.

MAMA is an awards ceremony hosted by Mnet, backed by the CJ Group, a giant in the Korean entertainment industry, so it has a lot of financial backing and the awards ceremony is quite grand every year.

However, its authority is far less than that of the Gold Disc Awards. It has always been known as a "pork-distribution" event, and its fame is more due to the high entertainment value of its performance stage.

The Seoul Music Awards are hosted by Sports Seoul, a leading sports news media outlet on the Korean Peninsula. The selection criteria take into account factors such as digital music chart performance, album sales, and live performances.

As for the Melon Music Awards that Park Jin-young just showed Chen Yan, it is hosted by Melon, the largest music streaming website in the Korean Peninsula. The selection criteria only take into account the music streaming performance on the website and online popularity votes.

The Melon Music Awards and MAMA are usually held in November or December, while the Golden Disc Awards and Seoul Music Awards are usually held in January or February of the following year.

"The Melon Music Awards will be held on the 14th of next month, which is about a month and a half from now. The selection period for other awards, including Best Producer, is from the 31st of this month to November 13th."

Park Jin-young pointed to the time on the computer screen, then looked at Chen Yan and smiled, "With your achievements and current popularity, this Best Producer award should be yours without any surprises."

"Oh."

Chen Yan smiled and nodded.

That's absolutely true. In terms of music chart performance, every song he's released since the end of June has performed well, not to mention the huge hit "Roar".

In terms of popularity, there is indeed no music producer on the peninsula who can surpass him.

Park Jin-young continued, "The Melon Award isn't that important. I think we should set our sights on the Golden Disc Awards next January. If we can win the Golden Disc Award for Best Producer, that would be the best, Xiaoyan."

"Brother Zhenying, is there anything I can do for you?"

Chen Yan asked earnestly.

Compared to the other three awards, the Golden Disc Award for Best Producer is definitely the one that producers in the industry most want to win.

Because that is the most authoritative and prestigious award recognized by the industry and mainstream society. The Best Producer awards at the other three award ceremonies are just icing on the cake.

Chen Yan was no exception; his biggest ambition was undoubtedly to win the Golden Disc Award for Best Producer.

"Xiao Yan, your current song achievements and popularity are enough. The rest are things that need to be handled privately."

Park Jin-young smiled at him and said, "In a while, I'll take you to visit some of the judges of the Golden Disc Awards, as well as some high-ranking officials from the Recording Industry Association."

Chen Yan quickly nodded: "Okay, thank you, Brother Zhenying."

Park Jin-young has made his point very clear: he has achieved enough in terms of results and influence; the rest depends on his private interactions and social engagements.

Chen Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Awards are not judged solely on the achievements and influence of your work; behind-the-scenes maneuvering also plays a significant role.

This is true for any awards ceremony in the world.

In fact, most of the time, the results of your efforts behind the scenes will be greater than the achievements and influence of your work itself.

"Well, if you manage it well, there shouldn't be any major problems. Xiaoyan, your achievements and influence this year speak for themselves. Among producers in the industry, no one's achievements are more outstanding than yours."

Park Jin-young naturally hoped that Chen Yan would win the award.

If he really wins the Gold Disc Award for Best Producer, aside from other benefits, the company's stock price will definitely rise, and the company's influence and foundation will also be further enhanced.

"As for the MAMA and Seoul Music Awards, we'll try our best, but it's unlikely. After all, it's impossible to give all four awards to you, Xiaoyan."

As he spoke, Park Jin-young himself started laughing.

Chen Yan laughed after hearing this.

It's impossible to give them all to one person; there's a balance and competition among the four major award ceremonies.

After chatting with Park Jin-young for a while, Chen Yan got up and left. Back in his office, he sat down in his office chair, leaned back, stared at the ceiling, and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest.

A moment later, a smile appeared on Chen Yan's lips, and his eyes flickered.

You're going to win an award!

Who wouldn't be happy to win an award?

His thoughts drifted for a while, then he sat up straight again, looked at the computer screen, and let out a soft sigh.

Keep working!

Nearly ten hours later, at Chen Yan's home in Cheongdam-dong.

"Didi"

The sound of a password being entered came from the doorway.

Hearing the noise, Chen Yan got up and walked to the entrance, where he immediately saw Jessica Jung leaning against the wall changing her shoes.

He smiled and said, "Nuna."

"Hmm~"

After changing her shoes, Jessica Jung turned around and returned the smile, though it seemed a little unnatural for a moment.

When the older woman walked up to him, Chen Yan immediately reached out and put his arm around her slender waist, buried his head in her snowy neck, and inhaled her fragrance.

Jessica Jung blushed slightly and gave him a symbolic push with both hands.

"I just came here after dance practice, and I just took a quick shower at the company. It smells a bit."

Chen Yan took another deep breath of the fragrance, then looked up at her and smiled:
"It doesn't smell bad, it smells delicious."

Just as Jessica Jung was about to reply, her gaze swept over the man's lips, and she couldn't help but frown.

"Xiao Yan, what happened to your lips?"

"Forehead"

This is the third person to ask him this question today.

This debt needs to be remembered, and we'll get it back from that little ice queen, Krystal Jung, tenfold later.

"Oh, it's just that I accidentally bumped into the kitchen door last night when I went to get water. It's nothing serious, just a minor injury. It'll be fine in a couple of days."

He couldn't very well tell this woman that he was bitten by her last night when she was kissing Jung Soo-jung.

Through Krystal Jung's account last night, he now knows what has happened recently and why Jessica Jung has been talking to him less.

I definitely can't tell the truth now, otherwise this woman will definitely explode.

I'm sorry, noona, but for Krystal's sake, I'll have to make you put up with this for a while longer.

"Oh, that's how it is."

Jessica Jung nodded upon hearing this.

Chen Yan spoke with a very natural expression, so she naturally had no suspicions.

Jessica Jung gently touched the scabbed wound on his lip to make sure it was alright, then nudged him.

"Let go of me, Xiaoyan, I'm going to take a shower."

Chen Yan blinked: "Nuna, I haven't washed either, let's go together."

After saying that, without waiting for Jessica Jung's reaction, he picked up her soft, fragrant body and strode towards the bathroom.

"Hey~ you already showered."

"What?! You bit oppa while you were kissing him last night?!"

f(x)'s dormitory, in the room of the two busiest members.

Upon hearing Krystal Jung's words, Peach's beautiful eyes widened immediately, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Keep your voice down!"

Jung Soo-jung, who was opposite, was startled and glanced instinctively at the doorway before whispering.

"Well"

Peach realized what was happening and immediately covered her mouth with her hand, then turned her head to look at the doorway.

Then he smiled apologetically at Krystal Jung, but quickly frowned and asked, "Krystal, did you bite too hard?"

This girl kissed him, but why did she bite oppa?

Krystal pursed her lips: "It's not very heavy. Chen Yan sent me a photo this morning."

She reached for her phone, opened the photo Chen Yan had sent her, and showed it to Taozi.

"Look, the wound has already started to scab over."

"Oh, all right."

After carefully examining the photo, the slight worry in Peach's eyes faded. She blinked and then asked with a grin:

"Hehe, how did it feel to kiss oppa, Krystal?"

"Oh, how can you ask such a question?"

Krystal Jung's face immediately turned red.

"Hey, tell me, I'm not an outsider, and I won't tell anyone else, just tell me."

Unable to resist Peach's coquettishness and curious gaze, Krystal finally whispered, "It's fine as it is."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Having received this answer that wasn't really an answer, Peach chuckled and didn't press the matter further.

For Krystal Jung, being able to answer to this extent is already quite good.

"Don't tell Jessica about this. She doesn't know yet. You can't tell her, or she'll explode."

"Okay, don't worry, I won't tell anyone except Taeyeon unnie and Yoona unnie."

"That's good."

Looking at Krystal's adorable face, still with a hint of blush, Peach smiled with narrowed eyes, wiggled her fair little feet, and then suddenly remembered something, her eyes darting around.

"Xiu-jung."

"Ok?"

"If Jessica hadn't set a time for you to come home last night, would you have just eaten oppa?"

Krystal Jung paused slightly, and the blush that had just faded returned to her cheeks.

"Hey! What are you saying? I... I wouldn't do that."

Peach gave him a teasing look: "Really not? Let me tell you, oppa has a great physique, especially his abs, they're amazing."

"Hey, shut up, I'll get angry if you say that again."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."

Seeing that Little Iceberg's cheeks had turned as red as apples, Peach stopped teasing him.

Anyway, Krystal is practically married now, so I'll have plenty of opportunities to tease her in the future. This one won't make a difference.

In matters like this, I'm quite the senior to this little iceberg, hehe.

Seeing that Peach had looked down at her phone and hadn't continued speaking, Krystal Jung breathed a slight sigh of relief and gently bit her lip.

She really wouldn't do that.

Because she wanted to be after Bae Suzy, she wanted to be the last one.

This was a plan she made the night after she learned about Chen Yan and Jessica Jung's relationship.
