Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

What's rather frustrating is that Mina's nickname is clearly in Japanese, while Momo Hirai is Japanese...

She didn't understand it at first glance...

Mina didn't give her a second chance. With lightning speed, she flipped the phone face down, covering her barely rising and falling chest. A hint of panic flashed across her face, and she gave a stiff smile, saying:

"Huh? No... just a classmate from before!"

"A classmate?"

Hirai Momo blinked, recalling the note she had just seen, which was indeed in Japanese.

Thinking of this, she didn't say anything more.

He even turned around sensibly, not facing her, showing great respect to Mina.

What she didn't know was that Mina had lied to her; the person she was chatting with was none other than her own brother, Liu Baiyuan...

Mina: Momo! Look! There's a clown!

Hirai Momo: Where?!

Mina: I'm talking to you!

Seeing Hirai Momo turn her head away, Mina also turned her phone over with a slight sense of unease. Looking at Liu Baiyuan's reply, she didn't rush to reply, but instead muted the sound effect of the email notification.

That way, we won't have to worry about Hirai Momo hearing it.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to chat with you, Oppa. What are you doing, Oppa?"

Mina smiled slightly, while on the other end of the phone, Liu Baiyuan was sitting at his computer desk, with TWICE's "Graceful Private Life" playing on the computer.

He had only watched part of the group's variety show before, but he hadn't watched it all the way through. Today, he was able to catch up on some of it.

At that moment, he was watching the episode where TWICE was cooking. As the eight members split into two camps and cooked in a "chaotic" manner, a strange smile gradually rose in Liu Baiyuan's eyes.

Although he can't cook, he has watched the family chef cook, and as far as he knows...

Cooking doesn't seem to require this much frantic activity...

However, he didn't say much. After all, TWICE's main job is being idols, and cooking is just a hobby.

"I was watching TWICE's variety show, and I didn't know Mina could make steak burgers."

Liu Baiyuan smiled slightly and sent a message to Mingjing Nan. The latter was slightly taken aback when she saw the reply: Cooking?

When did I first cook?

Just as Mina was lost in thought, she suddenly seemed to remember something, her face flushed and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"Oppa is watching 'Graceful Private Life,' right? I think that's the only show we've seen recently that features cooking."

"Yeah, I saw you making hamburgers on a variety show, while Tao and Dahyun were making ginseng chicken soup. I didn't realize you two were so skilled at it."

Even while typing, Liu Baiyuan's tone was full of teasing, and Mina also chatted with him with a slight smile.

But this little space that belonged only to the two of them didn't last long. Liu Baiyuan's phone suddenly received another message that didn't belong to Mina, breaking this rare "peace".

Unsurprisingly, it was Bae Joo-hyun's reply.

Two minutes ago, Bae Joo-hyun had just come out of the bathroom in Red Velvet's dorm.

Her wet hair draped over her delicate body, which was also covered in droplets of water.

Her whole body was steaming, but her face had a unique blush.

The pale bath towel wrapped around her body did not make Bae Joo-hyun's skin look darker because of its sickly whiteness; on the contrary, the two blended together perfectly.

Bae Joo-hyun's figure isn't particularly good; she's not very tall, and her proportions are a bit off. However, the bathrobe she's wearing does accentuate her figure.

A pair of delicate white feet stepped into wet slippers, the remaining water inside the slippers being squeezed and making a squelching sound.

Her pink toes remained their original flesh color, without any fancy nail polish decorations.

Even so, her small feet still possessed the youthful and delicate beauty of a woman in her prime.

Seeing Bae Joo-hyun come out, Park Soo-young, who was on the sofa, smiled and said to her older sister:

"Unnie, someone just messaged your phone!"

Bae Joo-hyun's phone had just been placed on the coffee table, but because Kakao only displays notifications and doesn't show messages, Park Soo-young didn't know who had sent the message to her older sister.

However, based on her understanding of her eldest sister, she estimated that these were mostly her family members.

This woman's private life is so clean that it's almost boring. She usually only chats with her family, and even if she has some celebrity friends, they are mostly just nodding acquaintances.

Her few friends are all from the same company and those she spent time with during her trainee days.

"oh oh."

Bae Joo-hyun's emotions didn't change much. She simply walked over, picked up her phone, and glanced at it. However, when she saw that the contact name she had written was Liu Baiyuan, she was slightly taken aback, but she quickly remembered it.

Around noon, the other party seemed to say that they would send me a song they wrote that evening.

She was much more "sober" now than at noon. At noon, she had readily agreed, but then she realized that something seemed amiss...

Even if she listened and liked it, it wouldn't matter; she's just a newcomer who's only been in the industry for two years...

How much of what she says can the company actually listen to?

"Who is it, unnie?"

Park Soo-young smiled gossipily, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at Bae Joo-hyun.

Upon hearing this, Bae Joo-hyun silently turned off her phone screen, her face returning to its usual expressionless calm: "Nobody, just a friend."

With that, Bae Joo-hyun went straight back to her room, leaving Park Soo-young sitting alone on the sofa, staring blankly at her older sister's back.

"This unnie... doesn't she always blow-dry her hair before going back to her room? Why is she like this today..."

Park Soo-young pursed her lips, a hint of doubt in her eyes, but ultimately said nothing more.

Red Velvet's dorm room is not as spacious as TWICE's; their dorm room is pitifully small, with a 3+2 room arrangement.

Bae Joo-hyun, Kang Seul-gi, and Son Seung-wan live together, while Park Soo-young lives with the maknae (youngest member) Kim Ye-rin.

In the triple room, Bae Joo-hyun and Kang Seul-gi were assigned two lower bunks, while Son Seung-wan slept on a bunk bed, engaging in a passionate battle of skulls against the concrete every day...

However, so far, Son Seung-wan still maintains a perfect record of losses...

Bae Joo-hyun sat down on her bed and opened her phone again. She saw an audio file sent by Liu Baiyuan, and the song title was "Russian Roulette," which piqued her curiosity. She took out her earphones to listen to it first.

Since it's already been sent, might as well listen.

However, what Bae Joo-hyun didn't see was that Son Seung-wan, who was lying high up in the dormitory and could see far, also noticed her actions and saw them clearly.
