Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

"Hey~! Baek Won oppa! Where's mine?!"

When Lim Nayeon saw that there was no autographed photo of her, she immediately became anxious.

Strangely, she showed no shyness in front of Liu Baiyuan; on the contrary, she seemed to be taking the initiative.

As the saying goes, if you're not embarrassed, then it's others who are embarrassed!

Sure enough, upon hearing Lim Nayeon's words, Liu Baiyuan immediately showed a helpless expression. Clearly, he had anticipated Lim Nayeon's reaction; it was exactly what he feared...

"I'm sorry, Nayeon, I only have four here..."

"What should I do then...?"

Lim Nayeon pouted, looking at him with a displeased expression.

Liu Baiyuan hadn't expected Lim Nayeon to be so persistent. He had assumed that after he said that, Lim Nayeon would give up, but unexpectedly...

"How about... I treat you to coffee later?"

Lim Na-yeon did not speak.

"I'll treat you to dinner next time!"

Nayeon simply shook her head, her gaze lingering on the autographed photo in Momo Hirai's hand beside her...

Seeing this, Liu Baiyuan understood, a helpless smile appearing on his lips. He liked people who weren't shy around strangers, but someone as outgoing as Lin Nayeon made him seem a bit socially awkward...

However, now that he knew what she wanted, he had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, then wait until I go to SM next time, I'll bring you back an autographed photo. Are you satisfied now?"

Liu Baiyuan was only focused on calming Lim Nayeon down, completely forgetting that the reason he was able to get Girls' Generation's autographed photos was simply because Kim Hyoyeon was there by chance...

Next time he goes... who should he look for?

However, Lin Nayeon was unaware of the details. After hearing Liu Baiyuan make a promise to her, her previous "aggressive" demeanor immediately disappeared.

Instead, a touch of 'shyness' appeared.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate, Baek Won oppa? Won't this be a bit of a hassle for you...?"

"It's okay, you got this yourself anyway..."

"Hehe~ Thank you, Bai Yuan oppa!"

As soon as the matter was settled, a bright smile immediately appeared on Lim Nayeon's face, as if what had just happened was just a dream.

Seeing this, Liu Baiyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. He had to admit that Lim Nayeon was a bit... cute.

Although Lim Nayeon's move was somewhat underhanded, its effect was undeniably significant. Actors like Yoo Jeongyeon and Park Jihyo would be too embarrassed to do it...

The reason remains the same: they weren't familiar enough with Liu Baiyuan...

"Oppa, did you bring any support for us?"

Hirai Momo carefully put away the autographed photo, then asked Liu Baiyuan a question.

Typical support activities usually involve calling a coffee truck, or a snack truck, or a small food truck.

She was very curious about what her oppa would bring her.

But... no matter what it is, she'll be happy.

"Huh? What support? Doesn't my presence count as support?"

"..."

Liu Baiyuan looked at the group with a puzzled expression, while Minatozaki Sana, Mina, and the others all had the same thought pop into their minds at the same time.

So Momo's silliness is contagious after all...

Momo: Huh? !

"Brother Bai Yuan, supporting him requires spending money to rent a coffee truck or something..."

Chou Tzu-yu briefly explained the support tactics used on the Korean Peninsula to Liu Bai-yuan, which left Liu Bai-yuan completely bewildered, as he clearly hadn't done any research on this topic beforehand.

Fortunately, it was in Mandarin, so it wasn't too difficult for either Zhou Ziyu to speak or Liu Baiyuan to understand. Therefore, Liu Baiyuan quickly understood.

"Ah... I didn't know, I just came straight here..."

"It's okay, they're just saying that, Brother Bai Yuan, you don't need to take it to heart~"

Chou Tzu-yu knows these older sisters quite well. She usually loves to talk big, and her motto is: she won't agree to something she can do, but she'll agree to anything she can't.

However, after thinking for a moment, Liu Baiyuan said:

"Well... since this is my first time attending your fan meeting, we want it to be perfect."

As he spoke, Liu Baiyuan stood up and said to Zhou Ziyu:

"Tzuyu, come out with me."

?

Chou Tzu-yu didn't understand what Liu Bai-yuan was going to do, but she still obediently stood up.

"I'm going out with Tzuyu for a bit, please wait for me."

After Liu Baiyuan told Hirai Momo a few words, he immediately led Zhou Ziyu out of the waiting room. Their speed stunned Hirai Momo and the others. They didn't react until Liu Baiyuan and Zhou Ziyu had left the waiting room.

"What did they go about?"

"Maybe he'll get a trendy haircut..."

"..."

Outside on the other side, Liu Baiyuan was followed by a pretty girl, though her skin was a little dark.

"Brother Bai Yuan, what are you looking for?"

"A vending machine."

In the corridor, Liu Baiyuan looked around, and Zhou Ziyu behind him couldn't help but show a look of doubt on her face when she heard Liu Baiyuan's words.

Why is this guy looking for a vending machine when he has nothing better to do?

Just as she was racking her brains trying to figure it out, Liu Baiyuan in front of her suddenly quickened his pace.

"Hmm? Found it."

Chou Tzu-yu quickly quickened her pace to catch up with the older boy. Seeing the slightly 'burning' look in his eyes as he gazed at the vending machine, Chou Tzu-yu made a startling remark:

"Brother Bai Yuan, are you... thirsty?"

"..."

Upon hearing Chou Tzu-yu's words, Liu Baiyuan paused for a moment, revealing a confused expression.

"Oh dear, what are you saying? I came here to buy coffee. Didn't you say that support activities should include coffee?"

As he spoke, Liu Baiyuan began scanning the vending machine for coffee. Although it was bottled "pre-made" coffee, it was still coffee after all.

Thankfully, this is the Peninsula, where coffee is everywhere. If this were in China, it would be impossible to get this many bottled coffees in such a short time...

In no time, Liu Baiyuan took out more than a dozen bottles of coffee from the vending machine, which clearly included more than just TWICE's share.

After stuffing seven or eight bottles into Chou Tzu-yu's arms, the two returned to the waiting room.

"Coffee's here!"

Chou Tzu-yu: Hmm? That sounds weird. I feel like I've heard it in some drama before...

"Hmm? Oppa, you went to buy coffee?"

Hirai Momo was slightly taken aback when she saw the two of them return carrying a large bunch of bottled coffee, but Lim Nayeon was quick to notice and stepped forward to take the coffee down for Yoo Baek-won.

Mina followed suit and began to take action, while Sana Minato went to help Tzuyu deal with the 'trouble' in her arms.

"Yeah, isn't it said that supporters should buy coffee? So I went and bought some bottled coffee. It's my first time supporting you guys, so of course I want it to be perfect."

Liu Baiyuan smiled slightly and chuckled a few times at the crowd.

"Kamsahamnida~" x9

Although the coffee for the support should have been from a coffee truck, they felt that the sentiment conveyed by buying coffee after finding out was no less than that of a coffee truck.

Even Sana Minatozaki, who had previously been at odds with Liu Baiyuan, looked at his face and for the first time realized that this man... was actually quite handsome...
