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

Chapter 551 Triple Surprise! (Requesting Double Monthly Tickets!)

Time flew by, and it was past 11 p.m. on October 7th.

Seoul's shopping streets remain as bustling as ever.

Although the autumn nights were already a bit chilly, the streets were still filled with the sight of girls' bare legs, interspersed with some wearing black or flesh-colored stockings, creating a beautiful scene on the commercial street.

Just as bustling as the commercial streets late at night was the internet, with Lee Ji-eun's fans being particularly active.

Because in less than an hour, the title track "Pink High Heels" from their idol's third full-length album will be officially released.

This is the first song that IU wrote, composed, and arranged on her own, and it is also the title track of the album.

If this song achieves good results, it means that fans can officially call their idol a singer-songwriter from now on.

So starting from after get off work, Lee Ji-eun's fan leaders in various parts of the peninsula began organizing and mobilizing fans to promote the campaign online.

Fans spread the word online, inevitably engaging in heated debates with Lee Ji-eun's anti-fans, and their presence could be seen everywhere online.

At this time, several terms such as "[IU's new song]" and "[IU's first song with lyrics, composition and arrangement]" had occupied the top spots on Naver's trending list, and discussions on related topics continued unabated.

I saw the album's concept art, and IU's styling looks great; she's transitioned from a pure and innocent image to a more mature and sophisticated one.

[Hahaha, U, you've always been so obsessed with being sexy, and this transformation has finally fulfilled your wish. The look is actually a little sexy.]

[This time, IU composed the song herself! I've been looking forward to it for so long. Ugh, there's still more than half an hour until midnight, it's so hard to wait.]

I think this song will definitely be great. After all, IU's singing skills are already quite good, and the teacher who taught IU composition and arrangement is PD Chen, so it's bound to be good.

[Oh right, LOEN's promotional material also mentioned that this song was completed under the guidance of PD Chen, so the quality is definitely going to be good.]

[Tsk tsk, it's PD Chen's turn to promote IU this time. I wonder if Chen Yan is busy right now, or if he'll forget about it like before.]

Chen Yan wasn't busy right now, but he was a little dumbfounded.

He froze, stunned, as he looked at the stockings Lee Ji-eun was wearing.

Half an hour ago, after whispering sweet nothings to Lee Ji-eun for a while, he began the enjoyable blind box unpacking session.

Beneath the white bathrobe was a black lace bra and black stockings—a very normal outfit, the kind of casual wear that couples would typically wear.

The only slightly surprising thing was the unique design of the black stockings with a hole in them.

Chen Yan thought that was all. As a leg fetishist, he admired the girl's beautiful legs covered in black stockings for a long time, and the stockings were almost balled up from his touching.

Now, looking at the scene before him, he realized that he had been too happy too soon and had underestimated the surprise that Lee Ji-eun had carefully prepared.

On the stockings on either side of him, there were two letters written on each.

The left side says "EXTR", and the right side says "ANCE".

It was simple and easy to understand, so Chen Yan naturally understood what it meant.

But what momentarily stunned him was that between the letters on the left and right sides, a small but clear arrow extended out from each side, one pointing to the left and the other to the right.

That's the place where he and Lee Ji-eun made their bet earlier.

Goodness, he had only ever seen the green emergency exit sign that said "EXIT" in shopping malls, but he never expected to see a similar design here tonight.

Seemingly feeling that the wait was a bit long, Lee Ji-eun, who was in front, turned her head with some confusion.

As the buyer, she naturally knew what the design of these stockings was like. Seeing her oppa staring blankly, her blushing face immediately turned red.

"Oppa, we'll have to wait until my comeback is over and I have time. It's not possible now~"

"okay."

Chen Yan snapped out of his daze and agreed, then began his second round of opening blind boxes.

I was pleasantly surprised again.

In the blink of an eye, another half hour passed, and it was midnight on October 8th.

At midnight, almost everyone waiting in front of their computers or mobile phones across the peninsula simultaneously typed "Pink High Heels" into the search box on Melon's official website and clicked search.

Find IU's "Pink High Heels" in the search results and click play.

Some fans immediately commented in the song's comment section, and within just a few minutes, the number of comments had increased to several thousand.

[Check-in! First!]

[Checking in! Let's cheer for Ji-eun's new song!]

[Lyrics by Lee Ji-eun, music by Lee Ji-eun, arrangement by Lee Ji-eun, does anyone understand the meaning of these three lines? Waaaaah, I've finally waited for this day! The song is really good!!!]

[The song is really good! I watched the music video too. Lee Ji-eun was showing off a little and even danced, hahaha, you can tell she really tried her best.]

[Congratulations to singer-songwriter IU on releasing her first self-written, self-composed, and self-arranged song! A milestone to celebrate!]

Not only was the song's comment section bustling with activity, but online discussions also erupted within minutes of most people listening to the song once.

[The song is really good! It's a bit like jazz tap music, with a very upbeat rhythm. It even makes me want to stand up and dance a few steps.]

The song is really good, and IU's look in the music video is also very beautiful and suits her well. It's really time to say goodbye to her previous "little sister" image.

[The song is great, the music video is beautiful, and she's even more beautiful! Congratulations in advance to IU on her successful transformation in both her career and image! No arguments allowed!]

As more and more people started discussing it, the new hashtag 【IU in Pink High Heels】 quickly appeared on Naver's trending list.

Some netizens in the discussion recalled what they had mentioned not long ago: whether teacher Chen Yan remembered to promote the new song of his only student, Lee Ji-eun.

[Haha, it's obvious you guys didn't turn on notifications. I already received a notification from the backend; PD Chen has already updated his status to promote IU's new song.]

[+1, I saw it too.]

[+2]

Upon seeing these replies, some netizens immediately went to Chen Yan's account page and found that he had indeed posted an update about ten minutes earlier.

Chen Yanyan: [Although I've listened to this song many times before, listening to it again now feels different. I've witnessed its creation from scratch, and it's truly a great song. As its teacher, I feel very proud. @IU, I hope everyone will like and support this song!]

Below the text was a link to the song "Pink High Heels" by Lee Ji-eun.

Furthermore, netizens also noticed that not only Chen Yan, but Bae Suzy also posted an update at around the same time.

The text is very simple, consisting of only an emoji of someone wearing headphones, along with a song link below.

The three-person promotional team, who have been automatically linked to each other since not long ago, posted promotional updates right on time tonight.

[PD Chen was right on time tonight! He really cares about his students. [Teasing smile]]

Let's see if PD Chen is as punctual when Suzy makes her comeback at the beginning of next month. If not, then Suzy has lost [winking emoji]

[Looks like PD Chen wasn't busy tonight, he's so punctual.]

Looking at the comments under his post, Chen Yan, who was leaning against the headboard, couldn't help but smile.

He wasn't not busy; he'd been busy for a while already.

The two battle-damaged stockings on the floor are proof of that.

Turning his gaze away from the stockings, Chen Yan looked at Lee Ji-eun.

"Ji-eun, your new song has been released. Aren't you going to check the comments online?"

Lee Ji-eun didn't even raise her head when she heard this, but just slightly raised her eyes and gave her oppa a look.

Oppa, you can just take a look for me, can't you see I'm busy right now? Seeing this, Chen Yan smiled and reached out to rub her head.

Although Ji-eun is slow in doing things, she is very meticulous and demands that she do everything to the best of her ability.

He could clearly sense that the girl had made great progress compared to last time.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. It's precisely because of this kind of personality that she has achieved what she has today.

Take the recently released "Pink High Heels" for example.

Chen Yan did indeed watch this song grow from nothing to something, from just a few lines of lyrics at the beginning, to a complete set of lyrics, and then to the composition and arrangement.

Especially when arranging music, since it was her first time arranging music, Lee Ji-eun always wanted to be perfect, and she would scrap and modify anything she felt was not good.

As I was revising, I almost got stuck on a rut again. It was only after Chen Yan's advice that "there is no best arrangement, only the most suitable arrangement" that I was able to correct my mistake and arrive at the final product.

Thinking about Lee Ji-eun's creative process for "Pink High Heels," Chen Yan couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of relief.

Then I subconsciously began to reflect on myself.

Did I do a good job? Was I not good enough? How can I do better?
When he came back to his senses from that state of mind, Lee Ji-eun also returned from the restroom.

With her head resting on her oppa's chest, the girl gently drew circles on his chest with her small hands, then looked up at him.

"Oppa, what were you thinking about just now?"

As he gently stroked the girl's smooth, beautiful back, Chen Yan smiled and said to her, "It's nothing, I just felt sorry for you for working so hard writing the song 'Pink High Heels'."

"Hehe~ It's alright."

Lee Ji-eun smiled a little shyly: "Although the process was indeed quite difficult, I felt a great sense of accomplishment when I finally finished writing it. I love writing songs."

Chen Yan raised her hand and gently flicked his forehead: "Writing songs is fine, but remember, don't get stuck on the details."

"Okay, I'll be more careful next time."

The girl pouted, rubbed her smooth cheek against Chen Yan's chest a few times, and then looked at him again.

"Oppa, do you think this song will do well?"

Have confidence in the songs you write.

Chen Yan lightly patted the girl's pert bottom with his left hand, picked up his phone from the blanket, and glanced at the time.

"It's almost one o'clock, the real-time music chart will be updated soon, I bet it will suddenly drop to number one."

"Oppa, you have so much faith in me?"

"Of course, you're IU."

"Hehe, actually I also think it will be number one."

Lee Ji-eun smiled happily and kissed Chen Yan on the lips.

The two lay in bed, embracing each other, scrolling through online comments while waiting for 1 a.m. to arrive.

A dozen minutes later, the Melon music chart was updated.

As expected, "Pink High Heels" debuted at number one on the real-time chart, and all thirteen songs from the third full-length album occupied the top thirteen spots on the real-time chart.

This situation is undeniably exaggerated, once again proving Lee Ji-eun's reputation as a "music source fog."

Upon seeing this ranking, Lee Ji-eun's fans quickly began to celebrate online, and the hashtag "[IU's new song debuts at number one on the real-time chart]" soon appeared on Naver's trending list.

Tonight's Naver trending list feels like it's dominated by Lee Ji-eun.

Lee Ji-eun herself breathed a sigh of relief in Chen Yan's arms.

In any case, this was the first time she had ever completed a song independently in a truly meaningful way, so it would be impossible for her not to be nervous at all.

But judging from public opinion and music chart rankings, this song should do quite well now.

Seeing the rankings on the music charts, Chen Yan chuckled and said, "That's impressive, Ji-eun. All thirteen of your songs are in the real-time charts."

"Hmph, of course."

The girl revealed her smug side, stood up and patted her chest: "I'm IU."

Chen Yan squinted subconsciously at the sight of that fair skin.

"Yes, IUxi is amazing. In that case, we'll leave the rest to IUxi."

Lee Ji-eun was startled for a moment.

The next second, Chen Yan pulled her back into his arms and sealed her lips with his.

After a gentle kiss, Chen Yan's hand once again touched the girl's smooth thigh.

It's just a pity that without the stockings, the feel of the hand is gone; he actually quite liked that feel.

Seemingly sensing the pity of her oppa, Lee Ji-eun pursed her pink lips in her arms.

"Oppa, actually I bought several of them. If you like them, I'll go and change into them."

Chen Yan's eyes lit up instantly.

So, a few minutes later, Ji-eun in black stockings applied to fight again.

Just as Chen Yan was about to relive the feeling from before, a small, fair foot wrapped in black stockings gently pressed against his chest.

Chen Yan was a little puzzled, but subconsciously he reached out and grasped the girl's fair and cute little foot, carefully feeling its unusual texture.

He had only ever felt a similar sensation on his own peach's feet before.

I must say, these stockings are definitely high-end.

It feels nice to the touch, but it's also easy to tear.

Faced with her oppa's questioning gaze and the large hand that was already holding her little foot, Lee Ji-eun couldn't help but glare at him, her cute toes twitching slightly.

"Oppa, turn off the lights."

"okay."

Although a little confused, Chen Yan responded and immediately reached out to turn off the light.

The room was plunged into darkness.

Before Chen Yan could make any move, Li Zhi'en pulled her foot back from being grabbed and then turned over.

The next second, a flash of orange light suddenly appeared in the darkness.

Chen Yan was momentarily blinded by the glare, and after seeing the scene before him clearly, he opened his mouth and froze on the spot.

The source of the orange light was none other than the two small arrows on the stockings.

Damn, there's more!
This actually contains fluorescent powder!
Ahead, Lee Ji-eun turned her head and saw her oppa's surprised look. She smiled with satisfaction and gave him a playful wink.

"Triple surprise, isn't that surprising enough, oppa~"

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes, his pupils reflecting the orange light as if they were burning with flames.

He is indeed very angry right now.
