Peninsula: My mentor Kim Tae-yeon

Chapter 118 He and She, Supporting Each Other (6k)

[This Japanese lawyer should take note!]

[The schedule is too packed, I can't take it, hahaha]

[Is Beibei the same as Bae?]

[Why is this involving my Beibei?]

[Hae-won's face turned green with anger, she looked so pitiful, hahaha]

[Don't laugh, Enserles! It's your idol who's being tortured, hahaha!]

[You laugh the loudest!]

[I glanced at them, and the loudest laughers were all those with pirate-style blue hair—they were all traitors!]

"Alright, alright, stop grinning like that." Su Xia waved her hand. "We're live streaming, don't mess around."

"Then can you show me the script for today's live broadcast?" Wu Haiyuan stretched out her small hand in front of Su Xia and said.

"Here." Su Xia took out her phone, fiddled with it for a bit, and said, "I've sent it to you."

This was also deliberately designed. K-pop viewers who have watched variety shows for so many years know that there are scripts. Since that's the case, let's put the script out in the open and let the audience see this scene to form a concept—

Their meeting was truly by chance.

"Wow!" Wu Haiyuan exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise. "This money-giving segment looks fun! Has it started yet?"

"Are you blind? The time is written here, isn't it? It's over a long time ago." Su Xia rolled her eyes and said irritably.

"Ah—" Wu Haiyuan looked disappointed, "Could you give me one, so I can feel a bit involved?"

"Sure." To everyone's surprise, Su Xia nodded readily and then extended her right hand to Wu Haiyuan.

"What?" Wu Haiyuan looked at Su Xia blankly.

"Give us money! How can we hold an event if we don't pay?"

Oh Hae-won: "————?"

"You're organizing this event for me, and you expect me to pay for it?"

"Otherwise what? Didn't you say that all expenses for tonight's activities would be covered?"

Wu Haiyuan's lips twitched.

Are you already spending money?

"Then I'm not playing anymore."

"Tch, stingy." Su Xia scoffed, turned and walked away, "Follow me, Xiao Deng."

"Hmph!" Wu Haiyuan glared at Su Xia's retreating figure and followed her angrily.

The evening breeze in Myeongdong carries the sweet scent of roses and strawberries. Heart-shaped strings of lights along the street are wrapped around streetlights and sycamore branches, their pink and white tassels drooping down, making the smiling faces of passing couples look soft and sweet.

A street performer strums a guitar and sings tender love songs; the melody drifts far away on the wind.

Su Xia and Wu Haiyuan walked side by side, with the cameraman following behind carrying a camera and filming.

"Fans, Haiyuan and I are heading to Namsan Tower now. There are a lot of events at Namsan Tower tonight, including a love lock wall with special heart-shaped locks, a sea of ​​lights in the reeds, and a Valentine's Day heart-shaped light show at 8 pm. If we have time, let's check them all out."

Wu Haiyuan walked beside Su Xia, her light beige knitted cardigan swaying gently in the wind. Hearing the sound, she turned her head and waved to the camera, greeting the audience in broken Chinese.

Hello everyone, this is Hae-won. Happy Valentine's Day!

The barrage of comments instantly surged to another climax, with phrases like "Haiyuan Street Chinese is so great" and "Haiyuan Street rice is so good" flooding the screen.

It's only a ten-minute walk from Myeongdong to Namsan Tower Cable Car Station. Heart-shaped lanterns hang along the stone steps, and couples stroll arm in arm, holding roses and hot drinks.

Su Xia and Wu Haiyuan, both single, one a blogger who doesn't care about these things, and the other an artist recording a variety show, both appear outwardly normal.

"Go, let's buy tickets." Su Xia nudged Wu Haiyuan as she looked at the line, which was mostly filled with men.

"Oh." Before Wu Haiyuan could even process what was happening, she had already reached the end of the line and stopped.

"Wait a minute!" Wu Haiyuan exclaimed, then looked at Su Xia. "It's all boys lining up!"

"You pay."

"I'm paying for this, why would I need you to run errands?"

"That won't do." Su Xia shook her head. "Ask the others; they're all male relatives in line. I'm your boss, not your male relative."

"Um—we're not a couple," the boy in front of Wu Haiyuan interjected timidly. "I'm still pursuing Minyan."

The sudden interruption drew the attention of both Su Xia and Wu Haiyuan.

"Look! I have a witness!" Wu Haiyuan exclaimed excitedly.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Su Xia pulled Wu Haiyuan behind her, cleared her throat, and looked at the couple.

"Min-yeon, right? Does Min-yeon like this boy?" Su Xia hugged the boy and asked the girl next to her.

The girl blushed, looked at Su Xia, then at the boy, and for a moment she didn't have the courage to speak.

"Okay, go ahead and say what you think. I'll have Hae-won take a picture of you two together later, and I'll pay for your cable car tickets!"

"Ani! This is bribery!"

"Shut up." Su Xia reached out and pressed down on Wu Haiyuan's head, forcefully silencing her from the second half of her sentence.

"Min-yeon, tell me?"

"I—like him!"

The voice was very faint at first, but later it became firm and solemn.

A smile appeared on Su Xia's face.

She gently released the boy.

Happy Valentine's Day to you both.

Wow! Why does everyone seem to have a partner?

[Those who came out today were either couples or people in a flirtatious, almost-lovers relationship.]

[It could also be a boss and his underlings like Su Lu and Haiyuan Street.]

[Hahaha, Haiyuan Street is going to be red-temperatured again.]

Oh Hae-won is actually doing alright.

Seeing that, with Su Xia's help, the two of them had finally broken through the barrier between them, Wu Haiyuan's eyes showed a hint of envy.

Being able to express one's feelings with confidence and receive blessings from others is undoubtedly a luxury for idols.

"What are you standing there for? Come over for a photo, then pay!"

Su Xia's voice pulled Wu Haiyuan out of her thoughts.

"oh oh."

Wu Haiyuan bought four round-trip cable car tickets. After saying goodbye to the young couple, the two of them, along with the photographer and a few others, boarded the cable car together. As the cable car slowly ascended, the cityscape of Seoul gradually unfolded outside the window.

The Han River meanders through the city like a silver ribbon, the lights of skyscrapers form a sea of ​​stars, and the strings of lights in Myeongdong shrink into a cluster of tiny pink and white dots, so beautiful that it leaves one speechless.

Wu Haiyuan leaned against the glass window, her eyes sparkling like a child who had stumbled upon a beautiful sight.

"Boss! Look! The Seoul night view from the cable car is absolutely stunning!"

"Look at you, so naive and unsophisticated." Su Xia sneered. "Don't act like I'm your boss when we're out in the world."

Wu Haiyuan didn't seem to mind and instead changed the subject.

"Boss, how did you figure out they liked each other?"

"Anyone can see it except you, you idiot." Su Xia chuckled. "Today is Valentine's Day. Anyone willing to go out with someone of the opposite sex is either a couple or someone they're flirting with, or at least they like each other. Isn't that obvious?"

Wu Haiyuan reached out and scratched her head.

"Boss, you seem to have a lot of experience."

"Of course, back in the day I..." Su Xia suddenly stopped, as if a duck had been choked.

I subconsciously looked around, but didn't see that familiar figure, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Back in the day, I was a 'hundred-woman slayer'! I dated over a hundred girlfriends!" Su Xia said proudly.

Oh Hae-won: "?"

Wu Haiyuan looked at Su Xia with disbelief and spoke.

"Senior Eunbi said something similar, but when I asked Yoojin-nee, she said that Senior Eunbi was talking nonsense."

"Now, I feel like you're talking nonsense too, boss."

Su Xia blinked.

"So you've heard what Embiid said too."

He really did plagiarize Kwon Eun-bi.

"Several celebrities have probably heard of Eunbi's more than one hundred ex-boyfriends," Oh Hae-won remarked.

This woman dares to say anything!

"However—" Su Xia pointed at the camera, "Have you forgotten that we're live streaming? You betrayed Youzhen in front of over ten thousand viewers. When Enbi deals with Youzhen later, do you think Youzhen will beat you up?"

Wu Haiyuan's smile froze instantly.

As the saying goes, every creature has its nemesis.

Oh Hae-won is a force to be reckoned with in the team; even Bae Jin-sol, the Demon of Demons, can't be said to have a sure win.

But if we step outside the team and look at other groups—

Ahn Yoo-jin, a combination of a top-tier E-type human, a short, giant demon, and a chaotic demon, is a force to be reckoned with.

[So Haiyuan Street and An Youzhen know each other?]

[We're all in the same circle, it's normal for us to know each other, right?]

[Haha, over a hundred boyfriends and girlfriends, Su Lu truly lives up to his Wizone reputation; he even knows such obscure memes.]

[I kind of want to see An An beat up Haiyuan Street.]

[Want to see more? Add one.]

[So here's the question: Do Xiaoyuan and Karina know each other in private?]

[Good question!]

"Uh, Yoojin will understand." Oh Hae-won could only cough to cover up her embarrassment. "If all else fails, I'll have to ask Chu-ri unnie for help."

"Then forget about it, I'll make sure Qiu Tian ignores you," Su Xia said cheerfully.

"Why should Qiu Tian unnie listen to you?" Wu Haiyuan asked, her eyes wide.

"Autumn is my dearest friend and family, who are you to me?" Su Xia looked Wu Haiyuan up and down and said with disdain.

"Damn it!" Wu Haiyuan's fist hardened, and her voice suddenly rose. "So what if it's Ahn Yoo-jin? Who's afraid of her!"

He looks all bark and no bite.

"Ah, right, right, right." Su Xia nodded cheerfully. "Youzhen and the others just made their comeback this month. I'll ask her out tomorrow at the Seoul Arena. I'll also call some fans over for you two. How about you two do a Mortal Kombat on stage?"

As she spoke, Su Xia even gestured with her fists towards Wu Haiyuan.

"Do you really want me dead?" Wu Haiyuan looked at Su Xia speechlessly. "With Youzhenni's physique, she'd be begging me not to die if I punched her."

"Don't worry, I'll pay for the medical expenses!" Su Xia patted her chest and assured her.

"Hehe, thank you so much."

"You're welcome. It's what I should do as the boss."

In terms of combat effectiveness, the cable car had already reached its destination.

After getting off the cable car, it was a short walk before we arrived at the love lock wall at Namsan Tower.

Hundreds of thousands of colorful love locks hang densely on the wrought iron fence. The metal lock plates are fluttering in the evening breeze, making a soft tinkling sound, like countless lovers whispering in the wind.

Valentine's Day limited edition pink and red heart decorations covered the walls, and more than seventy reed lamps under the tower were lit up. The warm yellow lamps swayed gently in the wind, forming a shimmering sea of ​​starlight that reflected the city lights in the distance.

"My goodness, this is a sea of ​​locks!" Su Xia was dumbfounded as she looked at the hundreds of thousands of love locks.

"What an unreliable and naive anchor." Wu Haiyuan shook her head, glanced at Su Xia with disdain, and then said to the camera.

"This is the most popular love lock wall at Namsan Tower. Today, we have exclusive scarlet heart locks for sale, and you can also have them engraved on the spot. Many couples come here to hang locks and make wishes. Viewers in Seoul are welcome to come and participate."

As she spoke, Oh Hae-won gestured for the camera to scan the surroundings.

"What are you mumbling about?" Su Xia's voice came from behind, and then Wu Haiyuan's body was uncontrollably pulled away by Su Xia.

The two arrived at the kiosk, and Su Xia casually picked up a limited edition lock that was entirely crimson, with Korean characters engraved on the lock face.

(Eternal love).

"What should I write?"

Wu Haiyuan, standing next to her, picked up another lock of the same model; the cool metal surface made her fingertips go numb from the heat.

He stole a glance at Su Xia beside him, then looked away as if he had been electrocuted.

He took the ballpoint pen from the shopkeeper and watched Su Xia's profile as she wrote intently with her head down. The pen tip hovered over the lock for a long time, not falling.

According to the script, she was supposed to write "Happy Valentine's Day everyone," but what she really wanted to write was a sentence she only dared to write...

Content hidden deep in the heart, unrelated to the script.

At this moment, she recalled Su Xia's words by Yunlong Lake, a conversation she would probably never forget in her life.

Su Xia finished writing first, then fastened the lock to the most conspicuous position on the lock wall. He gently touched the lock body with his fingertips, and the evening breeze tousled his hair, which became entangled with the swaying lock plate.

Wu Haiyuan took in the whole scene, took a deep breath, and quickly wrote a line of tiny words on the back of the lock, hiding them among the dense cluster of locks, so that no one could see them.

However, the viewers in the live stream had already seen through everything.

"Whispers being written secretly on Haiyuan Street!"

"Something's wrong! Someone's been secretly writing something on Haiyuan Street!"

"Haiyuan Street just peeked at Su Lu, he's totally in love with her!"

"What kind of secret crush is this? Isn't this an open crush on Haiyuan Street?"

"Su Lu: Would you like to be my 101st girlfriend?"

"When will we reach 108, and then everyone can go to Liangshan together?"

"A K-pop version of the 108 heroes of Liangshan?"

The online comments didn't bother the two of them. Oh Hae-won looked up at the Seoul Tower.

The tower was illuminated with pink and purple gradient lights, and the six searchlights at the top of the tower slowly rotated, drawing a huge and gentle heart shape in the dark night sky.

The warm light of the reed lamp fell on the two of them, and the tinkling sound of the love lock on the wall was carried by the evening breeze, making their hearts itch.

Wu Haiyuan looked at Su Xia's face, illuminated by the lights, not far away, and suddenly laughed.

"What are you doing?" Su Xia looked at Wu Haiyuan, who had suddenly started laughing, with a puzzled expression. "Why are you laughing so happily?"

"It's nothing." Wu Haiyuan grinned. Some feelings of attraction were not part of the script; it was just a coincidence that she met him on a sweet Valentine's Day, under the starlit Namsan Tower.

Heart-shaped lights swept across their figures, and the clanging of the lock on the wall concealed new, unspoken thoughts.

"Just now, I wrote 'Happy Valentine's Day' inside the lock, and also added a sentence that I hope my members and I can be together forever." Wu Haiyuan raised her hand to tidy her wind-blown hair, speaking as if explaining, yet also as if covering up.

"I didn't write those things." Su Xia glanced at her, his intuition telling him that Wu Haiyuan wasn't telling the truth, but he wouldn't press her to find out what she had written.

"What I wrote was my hope that all lovers in the world will eventually be united in marriage."

"Why didn't you write your own name?" Wu Haiyuan asked in surprise.

Su Xia shrugged.

"I don't need to. Your eldest brother has no shortage of sisters who like him. That's a given fact. There's no need to make a wish," Su Xia said cheerfully, patting Wu Haiyuan's shoulder.

"What an arrogant person," Wu Haiyuan said, rolling her eyes in annoyance.

"Hahaha." Su Xia's hearty laughter carried on the wind. "Let's go to the observation deck."

"The 360° panoramic view from the top of the tower is the best place to see the night view of Seoul. There is also a special Shocking Edge photo spot for Valentine's Day tonight."

Wu Haiyuan nodded.

The two walked up the stone steps to the top of the tower. The string lights along the way had all been changed to pink heart shapes for Valentine's Day. The warm yellow streetlights intertwined with the neon lights on the tower, making their shadows stretch long as they walked side by side.

Su Xia deliberately slowed her pace, letting the camera pan across the sea of ​​lights in the reeds along the way—more than seventy illuminated lampposts swayed gently in the wind, like a galaxy fallen into the mountains, merging with the shimmering waves of the Han River in the distance, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

The live stream chat was still buzzing. From the initial cash giveaway to the chance encounter in Myeongdong, and now the trip to Namsan Tower, the highlights of this live stream weren't just the unexpected guest, Oh Hae-won. The interaction and atmosphere between Su Xia and Oh Hae-won, who were both familiar faces, were also quite impressive.

"Look over here, everyone. This is the reed lantern art area of ​​Namsan Tower." Wu Haiyuan turned to the side, aligning the camera with the entire area of ​​lanterns.

The sea is brightly lit until midnight during Valentine's Day, and the wind makes it look like waves. Many couples come here to take photos together.

"Looks like you've been here quite a few times. Your commentary is so good!" Su Xia said, raising an eyebrow.

"Isn't this from the script?" Oh Hae-won waved her phone. "Just read it from there."

Su Xia:

[I can't hold it in anymore, hahaha, Haiyuan Street is so honest.]

[Only our Xiao Yao Yao is this honest.]

[Queen of Comedy Sketches, please be careful!]

Su Xia shook her head helplessly, walked to the sea of ​​lights, and marveled at the magnificent sight.

"It's so beautiful, like stars fallen to the ground."

"Am I prettier than you?" Wu Haiyuan leaned closer, flashing Su Xia a bright smile.

"Hmm, your appearance is checked." Su Xia's perfunctory attitude amused the audience.

"Tch, so perfunctory." Wu Haiyuan curled her lips, her smile replaced by dissatisfaction. She reached out and pushed Su Xia's back, giving her a hard shove.

"Let's go, let's go! I want to see the night view!"

"What's the rush? Reincarnate!"

"I vote for you!"

"That won't work, I don't have an appearance check."

"Aish!"

"Oh? You're swearing! I'm going to report you to Brother Zhenying."

"I was wrong."

The two bickered as they quietly arrived at the entrance to the observation deck at the top of the tower.

The ticket inspector smiled and handed over two Valentine's Day limited edition badges, printed with a miniature Namsan Tower and a heart pattern.

Su Xia took the badge and casually handed one to Wu Haiyuan.

The observation deck at the top of the tower is built around the tower, and the fully transparent glass railings offer a 360° panoramic view of Seoul.

Su Xia led Wu Haiyuan to the best viewing spot for the night view on the west side.

The night view of Seoul is on full display at this moment.

Wu Haiyuan leaned against the glass railing, her eyes sparkling as she gazed into the distance. The evening breeze ruffled her long hair, and the light tinged her profile pink, casting delicate shadows on her eyelashes.

Su Xia stood beside Wu Haiyuan, also gazing straight into the distance.

Neither of them spoke, just enjoying the evening breeze and quietly gazing at the stunning cityscape in the distance.

Tranquil and beautiful.

The photographer's lens was supposed to capture a panoramic view, but it unknowingly shifted by half an inch, framing Su Xia and Wu Haiyuan standing side by side with the starry sky in the same frame.

[This composition! These figures! This scenery! Waaaaah, my graduation project is finally here!]

[Starry sky + handsome men and beautiful women + Valentine's Day, I'm absolutely blown away!]

[This atmosphere is amazing!]

[If we were really in a relationship, it doesn't seem like it would be unacceptable?]

[Is the queen of comedy sketches in love? It's a completely unimaginable scene.]

[Suddenly, I feel like chestnut pastries and snowflake pastries aren't as fragrant as my Urumqi pastry!]

Even dogs won't drink Wusu beer.

[really.]

"Boss." Wu Haiyuan broke the silence first, turning to look at Su Xia.

"Hmm?" Su Xia replied, looking at the night view without turning her head.

"We're not here to see the scenery, we're here to recite our lines."

"Oh right." Su Xia finally snapped out of her daze, picked up her phone, "This is the digital observation deck. The LCD screen shows a real-time panoramic view and the history of Nanshan. There's also the famous rooftop toilet over there, so you can enjoy the view while—"

Halfway through her sentence, Su Xia couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing this, Wu Haiyuan also laughed out loud. Their laughter blended together, carried by the wind, and drifted away into the distance.

"Forget it, forget it, I'm not reading it anymore. If you guys want to watch it, just search for it yourselves." Su Xia waved his hand at the camera with a cheerful smile. This nonchalant attitude only made the audience laugh even more, and they didn't feel like they were being perfunctory at all.

"I've heard of ShockingEdge." Wu Haiyuan tugged at Su Xia's arm and pointed to the suspended viewing area next to them. "Shall we go check it out? I've never been there before."

Shocking Edge is the most popular photo spot at the top of the tower. The mirrored floor and the all-transparent glass exterior create the illusion of a suspended cliff. Standing on the edge and looking down, it feels as if you are suspended hundreds of meters in the air, with the entire city of Seoul below.

Hmm—it's somewhat similar to the glass walkway in Zhangjiajie.

"Okay, let's go."

Su Xia followed her over, and as soon as she stepped onto the mirrored floor, she saw Wu Haiyuan pause slightly.

Despite being a bold and daring comedy queen, she felt a sense of fear at the illusion of being suspended in mid-air, and her fingertips instinctively gripped Su Xia's arm beside her.

"No, I'm afraid of heights too!" Su Xia grabbed Wu Haiyuan's hand and said in a slightly trembling voice.

Wu Haiyuan looked up at Su Xia, who was equally nervous, and suddenly realized that she was actually not so bad.

"Hehe, you're scared too? Suddenly I don't feel so scared anymore."

"Get lost!" Su Xia retorted speechlessly, but still held onto Wu Haiyuan's arm tightly.

The two of them gripped each other's arms and, like snails, slowly infiltrated to the edge.

The two stood side by side above the "suspended" mirror, the camera capturing the scene. Behind them was a sky full of stars and city lights. The image of them supporting each other as they moved forward was carried into every inch of the evening breeze and shattered in the eyes of the audience.
