Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

A few minutes later, led by leader Park Jihyo and accompanied by the eldest sister Lim Nayeon, the two knocked on the door of the manager's room.

To give these children some free space and to make them feel less constrained, they generally don't leave their rooms unless absolutely necessary.

Boom boom boom!

"Enter!"

Park Jihyo and Lim Nayeon exchanged a glance, pushed open the door, went inside, and closed the door behind them.

However, before closing the door, Lim Nayeon gave Hirai Momo a reassuring look.

"Oh, it's you two. What's wrong?"

Inside the room, the agent sat on a table with a laptop on it. The laptop contained a table filled with dense text, which looked like some kind of schedule.

The room was quite large; clearly, the two agents were staying in another large room in the dormitory.

Park Jihyo said to her manager, somewhat reservedly:

"Unnie, there's something we'd like to ask for your permission to do."

Nayeon then spoke again, echoing Jihyo's words:

"Well, yesterday when we went to the company for a meeting, we were informed about the next comeback, right? And we just found out that the producer who was with us in the meeting yesterday is not only Momo xi's friend, but he's also our downstairs neighbor. We were thinking that we should go and say hello, because if he finds out that we don't go and pay him a visit, it would seem like we're being a bit impolite."

In a country like the Korean Peninsula, where there is a strong sense of hierarchy, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that anyone who shows contempt for their elders would be scorned by the entire society.

Especially for those in the entertainment industry, it's an inviolable red line.

Sure enough, when she heard the first half, the manager was about to frown and accuse the two of "meddling in other people's business," but when she heard the second half, she fell silent. Was Lim Nayeon's words far-fetched?

That's a stretch. After all, they're just neighbors. They're celebrities; it's not like we have to go over to say hello.

However, Nayeon's words weren't without merit. If the other party went around saying that TWICE knew he was their neighbor but ignored him, implying they didn't respect him, then the matter could become a big or small issue...

Just as the manager was making a decision, Park Jihyo suddenly added insult to injury, saying casually:

"Unnie, Momo went out with him yesterday, and he brought her back, which means he already knows we live here..."

As soon as Park Jihyo uttered those words, her manager seemed to instantly realize what was happening, glanced at the two of them, and said to them:

"You guys go out first, I need to make a phone call."

With that, she waved to the two of them, and Lim Nayeon and Park Jihyo immediately left the room.

"How is it?"

As the door closed, Hirai Momo, who had been waiting at the door, asked the two of them.

The two didn't reply immediately, but waited until they were a little further away from the sofa before speaking in hushed tones:

"They said they'd call and ask, I guess they'll probably call the PD, I wonder if it'll actually work out..."

Hearing this, Hirai Momo pursed her lips slightly, while Zhou Ziyu and Mina felt a little down. They both had a relatively good impression of Liu Baiyuan, partly because he had smoothed things over for them before, and partly simply because he had praised one person while putting down another last night.

Of course, they were criticizing Sana Minatozaki while praising her.

Although it was very wrong of her, she still developed some interest in this man, though this interest was based on the premise that he had said a few nice things about her.

Inside the room, the manager recalled their conversation and eventually called Park Jin-young. The call was answered shortly afterward.

"Yo-bu-sai-yo".

Park Jin-young's voice quickly came from inside, and his manager, without any further formalities, directly asked him:

"Aniyasei, CEO-nim, I'm TWICE's manager. I have a question for you. The producer we met at the beginning of TWICE yesterday lives downstairs from TWICE's dorm. Do you think we should go and say hello to him?"

If the other party is a woman, then going is fine, but since the other party is a man, then we need to ask the company's opinion.

Upon hearing the question, Park Jin-young's already serious face instantly showed a thoughtful expression.

It seems they are considering the pros and cons of this matter.

However, after thinking about it, he realized that there didn't seem to be any major drawbacks. If it were before, the biggest drawback might have been that after the other party found out that TWICE was upstairs, there would be some trouble between the two sides because they were so close.

However, this biggest drawback has now been resolved. Liu Baiyuan won't be staying there for more than two days anyway; the company is already working on finding him a place to move out. If that's the case...

It would be better to do the other party a favor, since considering Hirai Momo's relationship with her, the other party would probably remember her kindness.

Having made up his mind, Park Jin-young said to her:

"Then send the children down there. Remember to call Momo Xi. She's quite familiar with Liu Baiyuan, and they have a close relationship. You don't need all of them to go, just a few will do. He already met them all yesterday."

Generally speaking, in this situation, the agent would definitely accompany them. However, considering that the other party was an acquaintance after all, and that Hirai Momo had already gone out with the other party alone yesterday, Liu Baiyuan returned home with his people after a short while, and seemed to be a person who knew his place.

Only then did he let them go down on their own, and he emphasized that Hirai Momo should be called along, so that with Hirai Momo leading the way, the group could go down together without much problem.

As for making him move, it's mainly to prevent any potential problems, and secondly, it's also due to the paparazzi issue mentioned earlier. So Liu Baiyuan definitely has to move; it's not that it's targeting him in any way.

After all, he's a man living downstairs from the dorm of a popular girl group. If that gets discovered, TWICE's rise to fame will be cut short.

"Yes, I understand."

After Park Jin-young hung up the phone, she also breathed a sigh of relief, turned off her computer, picked up her phone, and walked out of the room.

However, what she didn't know was that all nine members of TWICE were also sitting on the sofa waiting for her result.

"Momo xi!"

"Inside!"

As soon as they came out, the manager called out Hirai Momo's name, and when they heard the manager call Hirai Momo's name, they knew that the matter was settled!

"You should know who lives downstairs from us, right?"

The agent then asked Hirai Momo, who naturally nodded.

Seeing this, she spoke to Hirai Momo again:

"Then you can send a few people with you to go down to that producer and say hello. Show TWICE the respect they deserve, and then come back as soon as possible. No need to stay long."

"Inside!"

Hirai Momo immediately nodded in agreement, and only after her manager returned to her room did she manage to smile.

I thought that at best, their agents would accompany them, but it seems like they're being forced to go on their own!
