Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

???

Hearing Hirai Momo's words at this moment felt quite astonishing.

Chou Tzu-yu and Lim Na-yeon immediately became alert, their eyes darting between Liu Bai-yuan, Hirai Momo, and Mina.

Sana Minato's heart skipped a beat, her expression indescribably strange. So Liu Baiyuan liked Mina? But why... did she feel a little...

Unbeknownst to the three of them, Liu Baiyuan's mind was completely blank at that moment!

What a mess this is!

Liu Baiyuan immediately turned to look at Mina next to Zhou Tzuyu, and seeing that the latter's face was red, he quickly said to Hirai Momo:

"Hey! You silly peach, what are you saying!"

Hirai Momo pouted, her face full of resentment at being 'betrayed'.

"That's exactly right! When I gave Oppa a body pillow, you didn't even tell me you'd keep it safe. But when Mina gave you one, you said this. Doesn't that prove you prefer what Mina gave you and not what I gave you?!"

Hearing Hirai Momo's explanation, Liu Baiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. So she was referring to the gift...

But at the same time, he also said, somewhat speechlessly:

"Hey! You gave me a cushion, while Mina gave me a decorative item. How can they be the same?!"

"What's the difference?"

"..."

Liu Baiyuan stared speechlessly at the dazed, silly girl in front of him. He felt a sense of helplessness, as if he couldn't climb into her head to see what kind of mush was inside...

"Next time I call you silly, don't argue... Mina gave you a decorative item! It just sits there and doesn't move. You gave me a cushion, a cushion!"

oh~~~

When Liu Baiyuan made this comparison, Hirai Momo immediately understood. Indeed, decorative items are left there and don't move, so it's fair to say they're well preserved. But body pillows are things that are used frequently, so it's hard to say that there won't be any "accidents".

The others breathed a sigh of relief, but Mina felt a little uneasy. For a moment, she had indeed felt a glimmer of hope, but looking at Liu Baiyuan's defensive expression, she couldn't help but think, "Oppa...doesn't want Momo to misunderstand?"

Mina pursed her lips, but she wasn't discouraged. This was nothing.

The real battle hasn't even begun yet.

With that thought in mind, she quickly composed herself.

She turned her head to look at Chou Tzu-yu beside her, but her gaze was drawn to the ample bosom that was so close at hand.

"Tzuyu has grown up so much..."

As the older sister, Mina regularly checks on her youngest member's health.

However, she immediately turned her head to look at Momo Hirai, who is the "tallest" member of TWICE.

Hmm~ the maknae still has a long way to go...

But it's alright, at least Tzuyu has a good foundation, and she can already imagine how dazzling she will look in the future.

Thinking this, Mina's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Suddenly, she smelled a fragrance again and turned her head to smell Zhou Ziyu's fragrant shoulder.

It turns out that the smell was indeed coming from Chou Tzu-yu.

One sniff wasn't even enough; he looked up and, still wanting more, took another one...

Maybe it's because it's TWICE, so I have to smell it twice...

She thought her movements were very "discreet," but little did she know that Liu Baiyuan had seen everything.

"Tsk... this Mina..."

Seeing Mina's audacious behavior, Liu Baiyuan couldn't help but smile. He recalled seeing Momo Hirai touching him inappropriately during their video chat.

"What a... nice kid who cares about his teammates' health..."

Unable to find the right words to describe her, Liu Baiyuan could only offer a brief "praise," though the sentence itself sounded rather odd.

Fortunately, he only thought about it in his mind.

After sitting for a while, Liu Baiyuan didn't stay there for long and soon left, claiming he didn't want to disturb them.

But actually, it was when he looked at Lim Nayeon that he suddenly remembered he seemed to have forgotten that when he promised her he would get her an autographed photo of Girls' Generation when he went to SM again...

Remembering this, Liu Baiyuan naturally hurriedly ran away; the wind was strong, time to get out of there!

In the following days, Liu Baiyuan also took a long-awaited rest. TWICE had been practicing their new dance intensively and did not need his presence.

The only thing that happened in the past few days was that SM Entertainment called him to the Peninsula Music Authors Association (KOMCA) two days later to sign a contract.

He didn't need to do anything special; all he needed to do was bring his identification.

After all, SM Entertainment is already very experienced in transferring copyrights. With SM acting as an agent, he only needs to look at the contract and sign it if there are no problems.

As for the final acquisition price, it was eight million Peninsula Dollars, which is indeed a very high price for a 'newcomer'.

Time flies, and a week has passed, which is July 15th. According to the plan set by Park Jin-young, TWICE will start recording the music video for "TT".

It was only at this point that Liu Baiyuan, the producer, truly began his "work".

"I wonder if Oppa will come to our recording studio today..."

The speaker was Hirai Momo. She hadn't seen Liu Baiyuan for a week, and naturally missed her brother terribly.

"Probably. After all, Bai Yuan is also the producer. Of course he'll be there on our first day of filming."

Mina replied, also feeling a little expectant.

Soon, the group arrived at a relatively remote film and television base.

This is the first choice for many entertainment companies to shoot indoor music videos. Firstly, because the place is large and spacious, and secondly, because there are many empty "factory rooms" that can meet the needs of different shooting scenes.

"Annyeonghaseyo~" x9

"Thank you all for your hard work~" x9

Led by their agent, the nine people greeted each other along the way and quickly entered the photography studio where they were shooting this time.

As artists, they naturally had to come over and greet the director as soon as possible.

Before long, they found a middle-aged man who was bossing his subordinates around. He looked to be in his thirties or forties, and he was quite chubby. His hair was styled in a slicked-back style, like Chow Yun-fat's, but it looked greasy no matter how you looked at it.

"Annyeonghaseyo~ Director~" x9

The nine people bowed to him and greeted him.

However, the director did not reply. He simply turned his head silently, quietly looked at the nine people, and finally lingered his gaze on Sana Minatozaki and Tzuyu Chou.

His gaze shifted slightly, giving the two women a menacing look. But remembering his uncle's words, he merely swallowed hard and then said to them with annoyance:

"Alright, enough with the greetings. Get to work and prepare. Our time is precious. Instead of this superficial stuff, get your act together and save me the trouble. I don't have time for playing house!"

With that, the director waved them away.

Seeing this, the agent was also a little embarrassed, so he could only bow with the children and leave.

However, Chou Tzu-yu tugged at Minatozaki Sana's sleeve and whispered:

"Unnie, that director looks like he's looking at me..."
