Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

"Yo-ro-bu~! Let's continue practicing!"

Park Jihyo clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention and called out to them.

But her words were met with a chorus of wails.

"Ah~ Unnie~ Let's rest a bit more, it feels like we haven't rested for long~"

"Yeah, Jihyo-ssi, let's rest a little longer~"

Kim Da-hyun and Minatozaki Sana started acting cute towards Park Ji-hyo, which made Park Ji-hyo feel a little awkward. She wanted her friends to rest more, but they were leaving for Suwon tomorrow, and there really wasn't time...

"Huh? You guys are practicing at the company?"

As the lead vocalist, Park Jihyo's voice is naturally powerful, and Liu Baiyuan certainly heard her words. Upon hearing Liu Baiyuan's question, Hirai Momo turned the screen back to herself and said with a cold smile:

"Yes, we're going to Suwon for a concert tomorrow. Oppa, you really don't know anything about our schedule!"

"Cough cough..."

Perhaps touched a nerve, Liu Baiyuan's face showed an embarrassed expression, and he tried to argue with her:

"I didn't know your schedule wasn't normal; your schedule isn't publicly available."

Liu Baiyuan spoke with considerable confidence, but immediately, Minami, standing to the side, slowly said:

"But the company already announced this trip a couple of days ago..."

The company will not disclose specific plans, such as going abroad or recording variety shows.

However, the company definitely needs to promote these concerts in advance, since they need to mobilize the fans.

Liu Baiyuan said he didn't know, but he didn't even bother to check, so how could he not know?

As expected, Liu Baiyuan's momentum immediately weakened after hearing Mina's words, while Hirai Momo narrowed her eyes and shouted at Liu Baiyuan:

"What do you know, you big jerk!"

She spoke in Japanese. She wasn't worried that Liu Baiyuan would understand, because she had already hung up the phone. Even if he understood, he wouldn't be able to find her. If he didn't understand, that would be even better!

Mina couldn't help but feel a surge of secret delight, while Nayeon looked completely bewildered and asked Mina:

What did Momo mean just now?

Minami didn't hide anything, but explained in a low voice:

"It's nothing, I just swore."

"Oh~"

Lim Nayeon nodded, but remembering how Liu Baiyuan had seemed completely unaware of their itinerary, she couldn't help but nod again and say:

"That's what Bai Yuan oppa deserved!"

Mina also glanced at Nayeon with a puzzled look. This older sister seemed to have a more "open" attitude towards Liu Baiyuan than she had imagined...

There was no other way; the captain had spoken, so the other seven had to stand up again and start practicing. However, their main purpose in practicing was simply to familiarize themselves with the movement.

Because Yoo Jeong-yeon was unable to play, they needed to make some adjustments to their formation, which was missing one player.

Otherwise, why would they practice so much for a debut song released last year and a new song that just finished its promotional activities less than a month ago?

Time passed little by little, and soon a morning had gone by. The eight members of TWICE finally finished their practice.

They walked wearily out of the practice room, ready to go get lunch, but just then...

But suddenly, a girl, or rather... a woman, walked towards them!

At first, the group was a little curious, but as the newcomer approached, the nine of them immediately transformed into obedient little fans, standing on both sides to make way for her and bowing to greet her.

"Annyeonghaseyo~! Suzy sunbaenim!" x9

The person who came was Bae Suzy, who became an overnight sensation and the "Nation's First Love" two years ago with her book "Introduction to Architecture".

Bae Suzy looked at the eight people in front of her and was momentarily stunned, but having already experienced the dual training of idol and actress, she gave a sweet smile and said:

"Ah~ You guys must be TWICE~"

Bae Suzy's voice was very gentle, and she looked at the group as if she were looking at her proud juniors.

"Inside~"x9

As is customary, Bae Suzy bowed slightly to the group and offered some encouragement, nothing more than telling them not to let down their fans and to become even better TWICE members.

After a brief conversation, Bae Suzy walked through the middle of TWICE. The eight members watched her enter one of the practice rooms before walking out again.

"Ah~ Suzy sunbaenim is so beautiful!"

"Yes, she's even better looking in person than on TV!"

If Girls' Generation is the pinnacle that all girl groups on the peninsula want to emulate and surpass, then Bae Suzy is undoubtedly the transformation model that all female idols aspire to become.

From female idol to actress, Bae Suzy's path to success has even surpassed that of many professional actors.

Although Bae Suzy is also an artist under JYP Entertainment and a senior of miss A, the group underwent member changes this year, and Bae Suzy's focus is no longer on being an idol. As a result, even though they belong to the same company, they haven't seen each other much.

Most of the people talked about her acting and her looks as topics of conversation.

However, while they didn't care, one person kept replaying her meeting with Bae Joo-hyun in her mind...

"Suzy-sunbae-nim, can I become an excellent actress like Suzy-sunbae-nim?"

Kim Da-hyun's eyes revealed a hint of confusion, but even more so, a longing and expectation for the future.

The group left the company and went to the alleyway canteen for lunch.

It was already evening when the group left the company again. They got into a car and went home, while Liu Baiyuan was already in bed...

It wasn't that he was tired, but rather that he was preparing to finish the song on Hirai Momo's progress bar and then take it to the company tomorrow as a reciprocal gift to Park Jin-young.

He's already received a gift today, so he should at least reciprocate.

Of course, the value of my gift was definitely not comparable to his pack of toilet paper and laundry detergent.

Soon, Liu Baiyuan took a deep breath and brought up the panel in front of him. The favorability progress bar had not changed, and Hirai Momo was still in first place.

He shook hands with slight nervousness, then tapped the red dot.

In an instant, that familiar drowsiness returned, without any warning, as if I had suddenly been given general anesthesia...

This time, however, Liu Baiyuan did not struggle. Instead, he followed his body's instincts and slowly closed his eyes. Just as his consciousness began to fade again, a song title that was the same as "TT" appeared in his mind. However, this time, it was called "KNOCK KNOCK".

Although Liu Baiyuan had almost forgotten his Japanese, his English was excellent. Almost the instant the song title appeared, Liu Baiyuan had already translated it.

"Knock...?"
