Peninsula: I can steal the luck of disgraced celebrities

Lu Han's chopsticks were suspended in mid-air, and he looked as if the pause button had been pressed.

Those eyes were fixed on the receding figure on the paper sliding door, the pupils slightly dilated.

Seeing Lu Han's expression, Lin Zhixun joked, "What's wrong, ex-girlfriend?"

"That...that voice just now, was that Kim Tae-yeon? And the one with the ponytail, didn't that sound like Im Yoon-a?"

"...Are you some kind of perverted fangirl? You can recognize someone just by their voice and appearance?"

"No!" Lu Han put down his chopsticks, stood up, and hurriedly explained, "I saw him in the Blue Sky and White Clouds practice room before and said hello."

"It's terrifying that you can recognize someone just by their voice and reflection in the glass after only two meetings... Little Deer, quickly admit you're a pervert so I can arrest you and take you to the police station. Let's see if you can make some extra money at SM."

"I...you..." Lu Han couldn't explain himself clearly, so he could only sit down awkwardly and lower his head to pick up his chopsticks.

After sitting down, Lu Han added, "That's Girls' Generation, bro. Why don't you seem excited at all, like you're meeting a normal person?"

In October, Girls' Generation won the 25th Golden Disc Awards - Album Grand Prize with their album "Oh!", becoming the first girl group in Korean history to win both the Album Grand Prize and the Digital Music Grand Prize.

As a newcomer who hasn't even debuted yet, Lu Han naturally admires and respects these seniors.

He was incredibly envious when he heard that Lin Zhixun had actually worked with Park Yoochun on a TV series.

Lin Zhixun picked up a piece of white radish and handed it to Ha Joo-hee, saying casually, "Because you'll be even more popular than them in the future. Will you yell and scream when you see you?"

"...Brother, you're really joking."

At the same time, a muffled burst of laughter came from the next private room.

It was as if someone had told a joke, and the laughter had barely burst out before her companions covered her mouth. Then, several girls simultaneously emitted a sound that was somewhere between suppressing laughter and pushing each other.

Immediately afterwards, a clear, easily recognizable voice drifted in through the wooden lattice window, carrying the nagging tone of an older sister and the unvarnished manner typical of sisters:

"Hey, Kim Tae-yeon, can you please keep your voice down? There are people eating next door!"

Another soft voice innocently retorted, "Sunny laughed first! She choked on the kimchi soup and got it up her nose!"

Then came another burst of muffled laughter, and someone accidentally bumped into the wooden lattice window, making a soft "thump".

Lu Han put the chopsticks back on the chopstick rest, bent down to straighten the collar of his sweater which wasn't messy at all, stood up, and then sat down again.

"What's wrong?" Ha Joo-hee picked up the white radish that Lim Ji-hoon didn't want and put it back.

Lu Han explained, "I was wondering whether I should go over and say hello. After all, he's a senior from SM Entertainment. If I happen to run into him and don't say hello, it might not be good if people find out."

Then Lu Han retorted, "No, that would be too presumptuous. They're here to eat. What would it look like if I knocked on their door? Besides, I'm just a newly signed trainee, and my debut is still a long way off. Why should they pay attention to me?"

His brain was engaged in a back-and-forth debate, while his body had already made its choice.

He took a half step to the left with his left foot and a half step to the right with his right foot. The two feet were not moving in the same direction, which caused him to spin around in place and almost knock his chopsticks to the ground.

This scene made Lin Zhixun and Ha Joo-hee laugh.

Even if this young man doesn't succeed as an idol trainee, becoming a comedian is still a viable career path.

Ha Joo-hee straightened the teacup that he had knocked askew and said to Lim Ji-hoon, "Why don't you go with him?"

"I'm fine with anything," Lin Zhixun said, picking up another slice of beef. "It mainly depends on whether he goes or not."

"I..." Lu Han was still hesitating.

Footsteps came again from the other side of the paper sliding door, not to the left, but to the right.

The girls in the next private room seemed to realize that their laughter had been a bit loud, so they sent two of them out for some fresh air and to check if they had disturbed the neighbors.

Two slender shadows slid across the frosted glass, one with a ponytail and the other with short hair.

The short-haired figure paused, turned its head, and seemed to be listening to what was happening in the private room.

Then she whispered something to the ponytail shadow, who leaned over to listen. Then both shadows twitched their shoulders at the same time, as if they were trying to suppress a laugh.

Lu Han froze like a Michelin Man.

Lin Zhixun put down his chopsticks, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

Then he did something that made Lu Han's blood pressure spike—he reached out and pushed the paper sliding door about ten centimeters to the left.

The warm yellow light from the corridor shone through the crack in the door, illuminating the two girls.

The one with the ponytail wasn't very tall, but her eyes were extremely bright, while the one with short hair still had a lingering smile on her lips.

They turned their heads at the same time and saw the light shining through the crack in the paper sliding door, as well as the three people sitting in the private room.

The short-haired girl blinked twice, seemingly recognizing a certain face. She nudged her companion with her elbow and whispered something. The girl with the ponytail opened and closed her mouth slightly, her eyes curving into two crescent moons.

But the person they recognized wasn't Lu Han.

"You're that guy who was paired with Song Joong-ki and then cheated on, right?" Taeyeon said with a grin. "You're actually quite handsome."

Inside the private room, all three of them stopped moving.

Lin Chih-hsun already regrets opening that door.

How come idols don't panic when they're seen by others?

How can you attack someone twice with just one sentence?

How do idols manage their language?

"Hahaha!"

When Yoona and the two people in the private room heard Taeyeon's words, they burst into laughter.

The private room was filled with a pleasant atmosphere.

Except for the person who was ridiculed.

After saying that, Taeyeon put her hands behind her back and tilted her head innocently.

It was as if she hadn't actually said those words.

Lin Zhixun put the teacup back on the table, the bottom of the cup hitting the black ceramic tray with a dull thud.

"Isn't this our crybaby Taeyeon unnie? Is she still crying while singing 'Gee'?"

Upon hearing this, Taeyeon's smile froze.

Yoona laughed and leaned on Taeyeon's shoulder.

Lu Han lowered his head to pick up some food, pretending not to hear.

Taeyeon once revealed on "Happy Together Season 3" that when she first heard "Gee", she thought the song was just so-so and even cried and objected to singing it.

As a result, the song became a huge hit.

All I can say is, it's really good.

Taeyeon pretended to roll up her non-existent sleeves and asked Lim Ji-hoon, "Is it convenient for two more people to sit here?"

Lin Zhixun then looked at Lu Han.

Lu Han is treating us to this meal, so naturally we need to consider the host's opinion.

Taeyeon followed Lim Ji-hoon and turned her gaze toward Lu Han.

The poor little deer was eating with its head down, struggling with the food in its bowl. When it looked up, it found everyone staring at it.

"Of course!" he said quickly.

Ha Joo-hee stood up and sat down next to Lim Ji-hoon, giving the seat opposite her to the leader and visual of Girls' Generation.

Lu Han then called over the waiter and ordered a few more dishes.
