Peninsula: I'm being supported by a top idol.

The scent of rain still lingered in her hair. Liu Zhimin wearily opened the dormitory door, and the next second...

The three figures rushed to the entrance hall like startled birds.

"Unnie!"

"Jimin unnie! You're finally back!"

"Are you alright?! We were almost about to call the police!"

Jin Dongtian, Ningning, and Giselle surrounded her, their faces filled with worry.

"I'm fine..." Under the bright lights, Liu Zhimin's appearance—soaked to the bone, with disheveled hair and a pale face—was unmistakable.

"Oh my god! Your clothes are all soaked!" Jin Dongtian noticed her dripping clothes at a glance, exclaimed, and without saying a word, quickly turned around and rushed into the bedroom. Soon after, he came out with a clean set of casual clothes and a towel.

"Change into it quickly! You'll catch a cold!"

Ningning immediately ran to the kitchen, poured a glass of warm water, and handed it to her: "Unnie, drink some hot water to warm yourself up."

Without a word, the members pushed her into the bathroom and changed her into dry, soft clothes.

When she came out again, after drinking a glass of warm water, Liu Zhimin finally felt some warmth return to her cold limbs.

However, the psychological turmoil she experienced tonight was far from subsiding.

As soon as she sat down on the living room sofa, three figures immediately surrounded her, looking at her expectantly like curious and worried little animals.

"Unnie," Ningning couldn't hold back any longer, lowering her voice as if afraid of disturbing something, "You...you really went to see that streamer?"

Giselle followed up with, "You two really know each other? Those autographed albums were for him, right?"

Jin Dongtian was even more direct; she looked Liu Zhimin up and down, her brows furrowed.

"That news anchor is Cui Shi'an, right? I saw you talking to him on the phone. What happened? We were so worried!"

Faced with her sisters' barrage of questions and their unmistakable concern, Liu Zhimin knew that she couldn't hide this matter any longer.

"Um...we...know each other...but...you guys...didn't tell Manager Oppa about me going out, did you?"

"No!" The three shook their heads in unison.

Kim Dong-won added, "We were terrified when we saw you run out so hastily, how could we dare tell our manager?"

"Unnie, what if you run into some sasaeng fans or a pervert stalker when you go out late at night?"

Hearing that they hadn't reported it yet, Liu Zhimin finally felt relieved.

Looking at the three pairs of curious eyes in front of her, she said with unprecedented seriousness, "Please keep tonight's events a secret. Don't tell anyone, especially not the company."

The three exchanged glances, all seeing the seriousness of the situation in each other's eyes, and nodded solemnly.

However, after making the promise, his irrepressible curiosity immediately resurfaced.

"So...you're friends with that news anchor," Giselle gestured with her finger, her eyes sparkling.

Are you really... dating?

"Absolutely not!" Liu Zhimin immediately denied, but his cheeks uncontrollably felt slightly hot.

Images of them walking side-by-side in the rainy alley flashed through her mind, as did his back as he stood in front of her, and those bizarre and fantastical dreams…

In the end, all her unspoken words were reduced to a complex and difficult sigh. She lowered her eyelashes and gently twirled her fingers: "We... just... have a... slightly special relationship."

This vague and intriguing answer clearly failed to satisfy the members.

But before they could delve deeper into the details of their "special relationship," Ningning suddenly leaned closer.

Compared to boyfriends or anything like that, she was more curious about whether such a thing actually existed in this world:

"But unnie... that... that hand that appeared in the live stream just now... was it really a ghost?!"

Upon hearing this question, even Jin Dongtian and Giselle, who were pretending to be calm, couldn't help but shiver and unconsciously moved closer together.

The bizarre live stream video they just watched left them with considerable psychological trauma.

So after Liu Zhimin left, they immediately turned on all the lights in the dormitory, and the three of them gathered in the living room, even going to the bathroom together.

Upon hearing Ningning's question, Liu Zhimin's heart skipped a beat. The terrifying, twisted figure in the rainy alley, the shrill screams, the splashing mud, and the nauseating stench instantly returned, sending chills down her spine.

She clenched her fists tightly, forcing herself to calm down.

This matter is too shocking to be allowed to involve the members in this unknown danger and fear.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhimin raised his face, forcing a relaxed yet somewhat absurd expression:

"Oh...no! It's just...it's just that I ran into a drunkard who wasn't in a good mental state, a bit troublesome, nothing serious!"

After saying that, she waved her hand dismissively, saying, "You guys should watch less horror movies; your imaginations are too wild!"

Hearing her denial, the tense nerves on the three faces finally relaxed, and they all patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah... I see..." Ningning seemed a little disappointed.

Jin Dongtian patted his chest, still shaken: "That scared me to death! I knew it..."

Gisele nodded in agreement, saying, "But that video is truly terrifying! If it were shown on a Japanese TV station, the ratings would absolutely explode!"

Liu Zhimin smiled, remembering Cui Shi'an's instructions before they parted, and quickly sent him a message on her phone.

"Alright, everyone go back to your rooms and rest. I'm going to take a shower."

"Inside~"

However, when she came out of the shower and picked up her phone, the text message she sent to Cui Shi'an was still unread.

"Oh dear...aren't you done yet?"

She suspiciously dialed out the number, preparing to call Cui Shi'an directly.

"This number is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

"Again??" Liu Zhimin was a little annoyed. What on earth was that guy doing?

Did they go off to "hunt" ghosts somewhere else again?

Or...did you encounter some danger?

Hey! She subconsciously sat up in bed, but a moment later, she lay back down.

Why should I care so much?

He's been given all the arrows; he'll figure out what to do with them!

Besides, I risked my life to save him tonight, which is already a way of repaying the favor!

She grumbled to herself, perhaps because her emotions had been too volatile tonight. As soon as she closed her eyes, a heavy drowsiness washed over her.

Time passed, I don't know how much.

In short, the sun was exceptionally bright the next day.

It's another beautiful day.

Liu Zhimin opened her sleepy eyes, one hand covering her forehead, the other stroking her phone on the bed sheet.

I turned on the screen; there were no missed calls.

I opened the text message again, and it still showed as unread.

"Could we really be in danger?"

She quickly sat up and continued calling Cui Shi'an.

"This number is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

Damn it!

In an instant, she was wide awake.
