Peninsula Cicada Song Diary

Pei Xiyan had heard that voice just this morning.

He looked up and saw someone with reddish-brown hair wink mischievously with their right eye, as if to say, "I've come to keep my appointment."

She wasn't wearing the same black-rimmed glasses she had in the morning; her eyes, no longer concealed, were bright enough to look directly into people's hearts.

The other members of Twice surrounded her, and the aura of a large girl group was truly different—a vibrant and unrestrained display. Among them, the most eye-catching was Kim Da-hyun. She was already fair-skinned, and for this comeback, she dyed her hair purple, making her look like a Barbie doll straight out of a closet.

He understood now. No wonder the sound suddenly became louder; sailors who had just set sail would cheer and exclaim, "What a miracle of nature!" when they saw a whale leaping out of the sunlight.

The nine girls in front of me are a miracle.

Some employees looked out at the heavy rain and began to feel fortunate, realizing that the weather was cooperating; otherwise, TWICE would definitely have gone out to eat, and there would have been no chance to see them in the cafeteria.

"Of course." Park Jin-young's expression was extremely kind. "Our T-Baby can sit wherever he wants."

Pei Xiyan also felt that he wouldn't refuse, after all, they earned more than half of the building's revenue, and the dining table they were sitting at was bought with money from TWICE's schedules.

If TWICE said they wanted to be CEO right now, Park Jin-young would probably hand over the office keys immediately and then happily start preparing for the album.

"Kang Sang Hamida pdnim."*9.

The president's status was very useful at this time. No one dared to sit at the table where Park Jin-young was sitting or at the next table, which was just enough to accommodate the nine members of Twice.

Sana Minato pulled out the chair next to Pei Xiyan and led Tzuyu Chou to sit down.

"Hello, Mr. Pei Xiyan." Zhou Ziyu leaned forward and greeted him shyly across Minatozaki Sana. She spoke in Chinese, probably because she knew her Chinese identity from Minatozaki Sana.

The pronunciation of Taiwan province has a delicate, affected quality, so Pei Xiyan switched to Chinese: "Hello, Ms. Chou Tzu-yu."

"Is this good?" Sana Minato asked, staring at the mackerel that was scattered haphazardly on his plate.

Pei Xiyan looked at her plate and found that apart from the staple food, almost everything else was vegetarian.

"I don't know your taste, but it's not bad for me," he replied cautiously.

"That's great." Sana Minato pouted with a hint of envy.

Park Jin-young's left and right seats were occupied by Park Ji-hyo and Lim Na-yeon. These two veteran JYP trainees were dressed casually, but they looked like interviewers in suits at a job interview, their eyes filled with scrutiny and curiosity.

"Nayeon-ssi, Jihyo-ssi." Bae Seok-yeon, always calm, nodded gently after taking a bite of her food.

"Cicadaxi, we're all your fans!" Lim Nayeon suddenly grinned, revealing her cute, prominent bunny teeth. "Power Up is such a great song!"

"Maga!" Park Jihyo smiled brightly. Her eyes were large, and up close, they reminded Pei Xiyan of a certain red-packaged national beverage from China that she had once drunk.

"Thank you for liking the songs I wrote." He smiled slightly.

"The key is that the songs you write, Cicadaxi, are really good." Lim Nayeon exclaimed in admiration, "Red Flavor, Ko Ko Bop... I really don't know how you come up with so many great melodies."

"Because of talent," Park Jin-young said directly, having only heard the demo.

"It's probably because I found the composition manual my senior left behind at Yonsei," Pei Xiyan said seriously. "After reading it a few times, I'll know how to write songs."

"Qinjia?" A pair of clear eyes looked over from next door, accompanied by a surprised exclamation.

It's Hirai Momo.

She was very excited: "Where did Cicadaxi find it? We're going to Yonsei for a fan meeting in a couple of days, so we can go check out the secrets!"

Lim Na-yeon and Park Ji-hyo held their foreheads.

"Unnie, how could there possibly be a secret manual..." Hirai Momo, standing next to Kim Da-hyun, explained softly, "It was just Cicadaxi joking..."

"The secret manuals are usually kept in the library," Pei Xiyan said confidently. "If Momoxi is interested, she can try to find them."

"Huh?" Hirai Momo and Kim Dahyun were both stunned when they heard the answer.

After a moment's thought, Kim Da-hyun understood his meaning in telling Hirai Momo to back down. As expected, Hirai Momo's expression began to show hesitation.

With such a busy schedule, where would I find the time to go to the library to find books? More importantly, those three words represent an endless stream of books and countless words, just thinking about it gives me a headache.

"Does Unnie want to see more?" Kim Da-hyun asked with a light laugh.

"I... I think I'll pass." Hirai Momo gave an awkward smile, then lowered her head again. She preferred the simple meal in front of her to the complicated books.

"Anyone who didn't know better would think that the junior was talking about the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Repository instead of the library," Park Jin-young joked.

"Indeed, some people speculate that there might be hidden knowledge about music in a certain geology textbook, and that the senior student had an epiphany after reading it, which is why he became a singer after graduation," Pei Xiyan said.

"Hahaha, it's just because I like it." Park Jin-young laughed twice. "I went to be a singer because I wanted to, and I've gotten to where I am today through my passion and perseverance."

"PDNim is really amazing, and it really wasn't easy for him." Lim Nayeon gave a thumbs up in praise.

"So every graduation season, people bring up stories of senior students to encourage those who are worried about not finding a job because their major is unpopular," Pei Xiyan said.

"Is it because, 'If someone with a face like Park Jin-young can bravely become an entertainer, what do you have to be afraid of in the future?'" Park Jin-young obviously knew something, and he mocked himself without changing his expression.

"PDNim isn't that bad-looking. You're the company's DiCaprio," Park Jihyo said, trying to cover up her mistake.

"Maga." Voices of agreement rose and fell.

"DiCaprio?" For a moment, Pei Xiyan thought she had misheard. She frowned and asked uncertainly, "Is it the DiCaprio I know?"

"It's the one from Titanic." Sana Minatozaki tapped her chin slightly.

"Someone did say that," Park Jin-young confirmed, shaking his head from side to side as if there were a mirror in front of him. "They said it looks very similar from certain angles."

"What do you think, junior?"

After staring at it for a few seconds, Pei Xiyan lowered her eyes to satisfy her appetite, muttering to herself, "No wonder the Titanic sank."

"Hey, you little rascal!" Park Jin-young thought for a moment, then slammed his chopsticks on the table, half-laughing and half-crying, and pointed at him. "The Titanic sank because it hit an iceberg, not because it saw my face!"

His words ignited the atmosphere.

"Pfft~" Sana Minatozaki turned her head to the side and buried her head in Tzuyu's shoulder, laughing so hard she was shaking.

"Haha." Lim Nayeon laughed directly and loudly.

Park Jihyo tried her best to remain calm, but her violently shaking shoulders betrayed her.

"He's a really funny vampire." Son Chaeyoung grinned, leaning lightly against Mina, whose eyes were curved in a smile.

Kim Da-hyun blushed, while Yoo Jeong-yeon covered her mouth and buried her head.

Only Hirai Momo ate her meal silently, as if she hadn't heard anything.
