Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

After hanging up the phone, Park Jin-young sat in his office with his brows furrowed, like an unyielding dark cloud.

Silently gazing at the buildings outside the window, I wondered what I was thinking.

In this agonizing atmosphere, finally, there was a knock on his office door.

Boom boom boom!

A slow, deliberate knocking sounded in the office.

"Please come in!"

Park Jin-young knew that Liu Baiyuan had arrived.

So he immediately put on a smiling face.

As Liu Baiyuan pushed open the door and entered, Park Jin-young, as if nothing had happened, went forward to greet him with great enthusiasm.

"Bai Yuan has arrived."

"Hey, Zhenying, you're here so early again."

Liu Baiyuan glanced at Park Jin-young and noticed that this guy seemed to arrive at the company very early every day. He wasn't exactly among the earliest batch, but he certainly wasn't like the usual bosses who were always the last to arrive at the company, or even sometimes they didn't come at all.

Park Jin-young pulled Yoo Baek-won to sit on the sofa, and said with a smile:

"There's no way around it. That's how it is in this industry. When everything's going smoothly, you can make money even by sneezing. But if something goes wrong, the whole company can collapse overnight. That's why I have to come to the company every day to keep an eye on things."

Hearing Park Jin-young's words, Liu Baiyuan nodded as if he understood, roughly meaning that one should be prepared for unforeseen circumstances.

This guy is really passionate about his work.

After the two were seated on the sofa, Liu Baiyuan asked Park Jin-young:

"What brings you here today, Zhenying?"

Park Jin-young pondered for a moment, considering how to tell Liu Baiyuan. He worried that a subtle approach might be misinterpreted, but a direct approach...

"Baek Won, you live downstairs from TWICE, right?"

Park Jin-young decided to discuss the matter directly with Yoo Baek-won. Rather than causing unnecessary misunderstandings later, he decided it would be better to reach a conclusion together with Yoo Baek-won.

Liu Baiyuan was taken aback when he heard Park Jin-young's words. He didn't seem to have told Park Jin-young where he lived.

"Brother Nei Zhenying, how did you know?"

Park Jin-young forced a helpless smile and said slowly:

"TWICE's manager saw you leave this morning and told me."

"So, Zhenying, you called me here today just for this?"

Liu Baiyuan understood why Park Jin-young had called him over so early this morning; it was because of this matter...

"Hey, I wanted to discuss something with you. You know that TWICE is currently on the rise, and they have recording work to do in a while. But it's precisely at times like this that paparazzi are like sharks that smell blood. They'll be watching TWICE every day. If they photograph you entering and leaving the same apartment building as them, there will probably be some rumors."

Upon hearing this, Liu Baiyuan fell silent. He hadn't thought of this at all. He was only thinking about being neighbors with TWICE in the future, and hadn't noticed that they were now celebrities.

Almost every word and action is exposed to the spotlight.

But now, hearing Park Jin-young talk about it, he vaguely sensed the hidden danger. He wasn't exaggerating; it was something that could happen at any moment.

For a moment, there was silence in the office. Liu Baiyuan and Park Jin-young remained silent. Park Jin-young wanted Liu Baiyuan to move out, but after all, Liu Baiyuan was his "junior" and a director of the company, so he couldn't bring himself to speak up.

Liu Baiyuan is also thinking about what to do about this. Although TWICE has become popular because of "CHEER UP", they are still a rookie group, so they don't have that much attention yet.

So things are relatively easy to handle.

Why don't we move him before they find out?

Some flashes of inspiration tend to take root very quickly, like Liu Baiyuan's current situation.

It was just a random idea, but he felt more and more that this approach wasn't entirely unworkable.

Since the problem arose because he lived downstairs from TWICE, he might as well move out while the focus on TWICE isn't too intense yet.

The only thing this method might hurt is Hirai Momo's heart...

"Brother Zhenying, if it really doesn't work out, maybe I should just move out."

After thinking for a moment, Liu Baiyuan's face gradually hardened. In order to eliminate a potential threat to Hirai Momo and her group TWICE, he finally decided to move. As for Hirai Momo... he would have to make it up to his silly Momo later.

Park Jin-young seemed surprised that the other party would bring up moving as a topic. He had thought he would have to do some persuasion, but since the other party had brought it up, he might as well just go with the flow.

"Have you decided where you're moving to?"

Liu Baiyuan gave a wry smile and shook his head. The idea of ​​moving had only just popped into his head, so how could he possibly have already decided on his next destination?

"In that case, how about the company provides you with a place to stay?"

Park Jin-young took it on directly. Since the other party had solved a major problem for him, he had to return the favor.

"This...isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"Oh, why are you being so polite with me? After all, you're not from the peninsula, so it's understandable that you don't know this area very well. The area around the company is all shopping districts. If you really want to live, you should go to the Han River area. It's quieter there, and the scenery is better too. You must have had a lot of noise here, right?"

Park Jin-young asked Liu Baiyuan, and he wasn't lying. Although the business district was convenient, if you wanted a quiet and comfortable place, you definitely had to be a little further away from the city center.

Hearing Park Jin-young's words, Liu Baiyuan couldn't help but nod. His house was right next to the main road, and it was indeed noisy with cars coming and going sometimes. But what he did... could it be considered an "abuse of power"?

"See, I told you so. So you don't need to be so polite with me. You're contributing to the company, so it's only right that the company finds you a new place to live."

Park Jin-young made the final decision on the matter directly. Seeing this, Liu Baiyuan couldn't say anything more. However, it was always good that he didn't have to worry about it. After all, JYP is an entertainment company, and they've already gotten the hang of finding dormitories for their artists. They're professionals at finding houses!

After sitting there for a while, Liu Baiyuan said goodbye and left the office.

Just after Liu Baiyuan left, Park Jin-young slowly returned to his boss's desk, picked up the landline phone, and made a call.

"Find me an apartment by the Han River, spacious and conveniently located, as soon as possible!"

"Inside."

The man on the other end of the phone immediately agreed and then hung up.

As the call was made, Park Jin-young's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
