Peninsula Cicada Song Diary

"Hey, are you in the wrong place? This is a showcase, not an awards ceremony!" Park Ji-ah wanted to say, looking at the man's profile.

At that moment, the stage doors opened and closed, plunging the venue back into darkness. The question swirling in her mind, along with her exquisite profile, vanished into the darkness.

"yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, come and be my love, come and be my love baby~"

This is "Heart Shaker," a follow-up track to TWICE's album released last winter. Along with the song, the audience chanted "yeah yeah yeah" in support.

The large screen behind the stage lit up, and the candy light stick she was holding also glowed pink under the control of the stage manager.

Park Ji-ah snapped out of her daze, shook her head, and silently chanted "I love Mina, I love Mina, I love Mina..." while looking at the stage and joining in the cheering.

"yeah yeah yeah yeah! No no no no~"

The cheers at the scene were loud and clear, especially since there were many male fans, which made it seem to an unsuspecting person that they might have accidentally wandered into some kind of military celebration.

Following "Heart Shaker" was his comeback track "What is Love?", released in the first half of this year.

"I wanna know사탕처럼달콤하다는데,

Everyone says it's as sweet as candy.

I wanna know 하늘을나는것같다는데,

Everyone says it seems to soar through the sky.

I wanna know know know know, What is love..."

After performing two hit songs in a row, the atmosphere at the scene instantly reached its peak.

Park Ji-ah excitedly waved her light stick and fan, her eyes fixed on Mina on the stage.

Mina looks absolutely stunning today. Her sheer floral top paired with her wispy bangs and huge pearl earrings make her look like a young lady enjoying afternoon tea in a European-style courtyard. Her elegant and charming aura makes Park Ji-ah want to grab her camera and start snapping away right now.

But she also seemed to have noticed the guy next to her who was even more handsome than a celebrity...

It seems like they didn't offer any cheers during either of the last two songs, right?

Handsome guy, are you being so reserved? Then why are you even here to attend a live concert? Isn't the point of a live concert to scream your heart out and let your idols know how much you love them?

Park Ji-ah was somewhat exasperated, and decided to take concrete actions to show the boys that loving them meant expressing it boldly.

"123, one in a million, hello everyone, we are Twice."

On stage, the members of TWICE bowed and introduced themselves as a team.

"ah--"

Even amidst the resounding shouts at the scene, Park Ji-ah's voice stood out the most, like a sharp whistle piercing the sky.

Perhaps startled by her voice, the boy turned his head, and Park Ji-ah took the opportunity to catch a glimpse of his face.

For the first time, she realized just how much the Creator favored one person. The boy's refined face was expressionless, his features appearing cold and aloof. Despite the stadium's heating and air conditioning being running at full capacity, Park Ji-ah still inexplicably felt a bit cold.

"Ah..." The sound suddenly faded, and Park Ji-ah scratched her head apologetically, "Song Hamida, did I disturb you?"

"Ani." The boy's lips curved into a smile, instantly bringing Park Ji-ah from winter into the warmth of spring.

"It's my own problem," he said.

"Ah, oh." She laughed awkwardly twice, then licked her lips and looked back at the stage.

As staff came on stage with chairs and blankets, TWICE members sat down and began the "talk" segment of their showcase.

Now is the perfect time for taking photos, and those in good positions have already started. Park Ji-ah raised her camera, ready to snap away at Mina, when she noticed that the guy next to her also had a camera and was doing the same thing.

"Are you a fan site too?" She turned her head slightly.

"Okay." Perhaps feeling dissatisfied with the photos, the boy put down the camera and started adjusting the settings.

"Whose?" Park Ji-ah asked curiously.

"Sana," the boy said calmly.

"Oh." Park Ji-ah wasn't surprised.

With her lively personality, outstanding looks, and slender figure, Sana Minatozaki is destined to be one of the members of TWICE with the most male fans.

Besides Mina, her favorite member of Twice is Sana Minatozaki.

Park Ji-ah's gaze shifted to Minatozaki Sana. Today, Minatozaki Sana's outfit was also very beautiful. She wore knee-high boots that covered her calves, and above that, a purple bodycon shiny dress with a white gauze long sleeve underneath. Her reddish-brown slightly wavy long hair hung lazily down her chest, making her look like a charming and swaying violet under the light and shadow.

While inwardly sighing, Park Ji-ah asked, "What's your fan site called? Do you have social media? I'm Mina's fan site. If you'd like, we can follow each other."

"This is a new site, it's not operational yet." The boy shook his head.

"Did you only recently start liking Sana?" Park Ji-ah thought the guy must be a new fan.

I've liked it for three years.

"Huh?" Park Ji-ah's eyes widened, wondering if she had misheard.

I fell in love with Sana Minatozaki three years ago, only to find out it was a completely new website without even social networking...

She looked at the boy with suspicion, trying to see if he was lying or feeling guilty in his expression.

The boy's expression remained normal, and she couldn't discern anything from him.

"I actually started liking Mina three years ago," Park Ji-ah continued, "I liked her at first sight in 'Sixteen'."

"Love at first sight, huh?" The boy smiled slightly.

"Yes." Park Ji-ah glanced at him discreetly. "Love at first sight."

Are you one too?

"I guess so in real life," the boy said.

In reality? Have I seen it many times in my dreams? Park Ji-ah muttered to herself as she listened to his words.

......

The members' voices were like a gust of wind, going in through Sana Minatozaki's left ear and out through her right. She absentmindedly rested her hand on the blanket, her eyes darting intently towards the audience.

Just like at the Yonsei fan meeting, she quickly found Pei Xiyan, who was in the first row, with her seat almost directly facing the stage.

He's really not suited for hide-and-seek; everyone else is using 480p or 720p resolution, but his 1080p resolution is eye-catching.

He arrived as promised, carrying a camera and a light stick in a very formal manner, and was chatting happily with the girl next to him.

Sana Minatozaki blinked, her joyful gaze now tinged with a hint of resentment, her cheeks puffing out slightly.

Aren't you my fanboy/fangirl? You're chatting with other people during such a great time for taking photos?

snort!

"Oh my, Sana no kiyo."

The fans who were watching her closely at the scene were ecstatic at this small gesture, and their eyes lit up with pink bubbles as they snapped photos non-stop.

"...Does Sana have any thoughts on her comeback?" After saying this long string of words, Park Jihyo turned around.

"Huh?" Her puffed-up cheeks deflated, and Sana Minatozaki looked a little bewildered at being suddenly called out.

"Thoughts on your return," Park Ji-hyo prompted.

"Did I say that?" Sana Minatozaki pointed to herself.

"Yes." Park Ji-hyo nodded.

"All right."
