Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

"Damn it...this guy dares to insult me!"

"He's clearly a pervert, what does it have to do with me? And you say I'm sick? I think he's the sickest one!"

"This guy, I really am..."

Seeing that Sana Minatozaki's words were gradually becoming vulgar as she got a little carried away, Momo Hirai immediately reached out to calm her friend down. If she continued to curse, it would be too late to pass censorship.

Sana Minatozaki opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but then she saw Momo Hirai's reassuring look, so she forced herself to calm down.

However, her undisguised sullen expression still proved how much she wanted to "fight to the death" with Liu Baiyuan at that moment.

Instead of saying anything after seeing it herself, she said she was sick?

That's ridiculous!

Just as Sana Minatozaki was thinking this, Liu Baiyuan sent another message, drawing their attention back to their phones. He said:

"I've seen her twice, and both times she started things with a pervert. To be honest, I only glanced at her by accident when we first met, and she bumped into me first. Not only did she not apologize, but considering her size, she was only somewhat presentable at first glance..."

"..."

"..."

Hirai Momo and Minatozaki Sana stared at the message Liu Baiyuan had sent, remaining silent for a long while. Hirai Momo's face gradually became embarrassed, and she glanced at Minatozaki Sana beside her, only to see that Sana's face was terribly gloomy.

Sure enough, the next second, Sana Minatozaki next to her started 'cursing'.

The noise startled the four people in the large room, which was only separated by a door.

"What's wrong with Sana?"

Nayeon, who was closest to the door, was stunned. In the nearly one year since her debut, she had never seen Sana Minatozaki so unconcerned about her image.

Although Sana Minatozaki and Momo Hirai were speaking Japanese, which she didn't quite understand, she could still tell from their swearing tone.

Hearing the mixed insults that sounded like a mix of Japanese and Korean on the other end, even Lim Na-yeon couldn't help but click her tongue.

Meanwhile, Mina, who was lying in bed looking at her phone, also perked up her ears slightly. As a fellow Japanese, she naturally understood what Sana Minato was cursing on the other end.

So she slowly lifted the covers and said to the three people lying on the bed:

"I'll go inside and take a look."

"Okay, tell Sana to keep her voice down, or she'll wake up the manager."

Park Jihyo assigned a task to Mina: disturbing them was a minor matter, since they were already unable to sleep at this hour anyway, but if they woke up their manager, they would inevitably get a scolding.

"Nei~"

Mina opened the small door to the inner room and saw Momo Hirai gently patting Sana Minatozaki's back, as if to soothe her.

"What's wrong?"

Mina looked at the two of them, slowly climbed onto their bed, and asked in confusion.

When Mina saw Mina coming over, her anger subsided a bit. She knew that Mina's arrival meant that the people outside had also heard, which made her feel a little embarrassed for disturbing others.

Hirai Momo didn't think that much and directly explained why Minatozaki Sana was angry.

"That... is my older brother. Sana had a little grudge against him before, and I just asked him about it, and then..."

As she spoke, Hirai Momo handed her phone to Mina, who took it and glanced at it. A hint of dissatisfaction appeared on her face, though not because the other person had said anything about Minatozaki Sana.

Her gaze remained fixed on Liu Baiyuan's last sentence.

"Given her size, she's only somewhat worth looking at at first glance..."

Mina looked at those words, knowing perfectly well that he wasn't talking about her, but for some reason, she felt a slight sense of offense...

She looked at Sana Minatozaki and Momo Hirai on the bed. Their sheer nightgowns couldn't hide their inner layers: Momo Hirai in black lace and Sana Minatozaki in pink sporty style.

Mina was extremely envious.

If Sana Minatozaki can only be considered as non-existent, then what is she?

However, she eventually put her phone down and said to the two of them:

"Keep your voices down, you two. Jihyo said you two might disturb the manager later."

Upon hearing this, Minatozaki Sana also gave a disgruntled "oh," knowing that she probably wouldn't be able to vent her frustrations. She just stared indignantly at Hirai Momo's phone.

The latter then offered words of comfort:

"Okay, okay, I'll reply to his message first."

Mina then joined the two of them, curiously looking at Momo Hirai's phone.

Her delicate hands flew across the screen as she typed, saying:

"I think you have a lot of issues with her, Oppa..."

Just as the three were waiting for Liu Baiyuan's reply on the other end of the phone, Mina, who was on the other side of Hirai Momo, seemed to notice something and asked Hirai Momo:

"I remember you said before that your brother could speak Japanese? Why are you two chatting in Korean?"

As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet, their eyes well up with tears.

This not only represents the connection of coming from the same place, but also the shared accent.

That's the "taste" of home.

That's why Misamo and the other two mostly spoke Japanese when they were alone, but she was surprised to find that Hirai Momo and Liu Baiyuan were talking in Korean.

This made her feel a little confused.

At this moment, Hirai Momo also explained on behalf of her brother:

"That's because he hasn't spoken it for a long time. After leaving Japan, he had no one to speak Japanese with, so he naturally started to decline. We used to speak Japanese with him, but he said he couldn't understand it, so we switched to Peninsular language."

Hearing Hirai Momo's explanation, Mani Mina nodded in understanding. In contrast, Minatozaki Sana seemed like a stubborn person, finding fault with Liu Baiyuan in every way, and bluntly retorted:

"Tch, you've even forgotten Japanese. Looks like you don't care about Momo at all. You're not even thinking about what will happen when you meet her in the future."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Mina looked at her sisters with a helpless expression. This wasn't just picking a fight; it was deliberately provoking trouble.

At this moment, Liu Baiyuan replied to the message again:

"It's alright. If I had to say anything, it would be that I felt she was a bit impolite, but that's not a big deal for me. I probably won't have much contact with her in the future, so I don't really care about her."

Liu Baiyuan seemed indifferent, after all, in the entire TWICE, the only person he cared about was Hirai Momo.

As for that so-called progress bar?

It's not like he can't write songs; it's just that it takes a bit more effort, and the quality might not be as good as the award.

Upon seeing this sentence, Minatozaki Sana gave a haughty snort, but the next second, when she saw the second half of the sentence that Liu Baiyuan sent again, she instantly became furious.

"Anyway, compared to her, I feel she's not as good as your other compatriot, Mina xi. At least she seems more polite than Sana. I really can't like her..."
