Peninsula Cicada Song Diary

The program ended with EXO calmly celebrating their first win under a shower of confetti.

"I'm going upstairs now, Nuna." Having finished watching the live stream, Pei Xiyan prepared to return to the recording studio.

"Okay~" Feeling a little sleepy, Bae Joo-hyun lay on her side on the sofa, her eyes lazily half-closed, her tone languid.

"Are you having dinner tonight?"

"No need." Pei Xiyan was too full to continue.

Bae Joo-hyun made a bowl of ramen with so many ingredients. The leftover stir-fried rice cakes and fish cakes from lunch alone were almost enough for two people. He estimated that he could last until noon tomorrow.

Now he has plenty of energy to go back to the recording studio and continue working on that inspiration song he plans to name "Darari".

Meanwhile, after finishing their music show performances for the day, two vans carrying the TWICE members were driving back to their dorm in Gangdong-gu.

The car was lit with warm yellow lights. Finally having some free time, Sana Minatozaki, holding a small bag containing medicine, saw a message on her phone, and a smile flashed in her eyes under her hat.

[kkkk, it's not as good as you say~]

She knew her own condition all too well; the medication she took in the afternoon made her even more dizzy when she went on stage.

The broken kite seemed to have drifted into outer space, and she couldn't pull it back. On stage, she was supported by sheer willpower to continue her performance.

It's estimated that fans will be able to clearly understand their physical discomfort when they watch the fancams later.

Pei Xiyan didn't reply, so Minatozaki Sana switched to her browser. "Where did Cicada go?" The trending topic was still up, but its ranking had dropped significantly, and it might be gone by tomorrow.

"Oppa, shouldn't we take Sana unnie to the hospital?" After staring out the window for a long time, Kim Dahyun realized that this was the route back to Gangdong District. She looked at Minatozaki Sana beside her and couldn't help but ask.

Jung Min-ho slowed the car down slightly, looked in the rearview mirror to explain something, and then Minatozaki Sana spoke first.

"No need, I feel much better now." She turned her head and smiled at Kim Da-hyun. "I'll be fine after a night's rest in the dorm."

"Qinjia?" Not only Kim Da-hyun, but also Chou Tzu-yu and Hirai Momo, who were sitting in the same car, cast suspicious glances at her.

Everyone saw how she performed today.

"Unnie, you don't need to be so stubborn." Chou Tzuyu's big eyes blinked earnestly, her voice slow and firm. "Going to the hospital for a check-up won't affect your rest."

"Yeah, Sana, it won't take long to go and take a look." Hirai Momo's often bewildered eyes now held a hint of seriousness.

"Really, it's not necessary." Sana Minatozaki gently shook her head, her smile unchanged. "I know my own body best, how could I possibly push myself? Don't worry."

Sana Minatozaki usually has a carefree and cheerful personality, but her teammates all know that once she's made up her mind about something, it's hard to change it; not even eight horses could pull her back.

They still had some doubts, but they stopped trying to persuade them, and the carriage returned to silence.

Speaking also requires strength, and they don't have much strength left.

An hour later, the nanny van stopped in the underground parking garage of the dormitory complex.

"Dahyun, you guys go ahead. I think I've lost my earphones, I need to look for them." Sana Minatozaki looked around in the car, pretending to be looking for something.

She's usually quite clumsy and has lost things quite a few times, but Kim Da-hyun, Chou Tzu-yu, and Hirai Momo never suspected anything.

"Unnie, let's help you look." Kim Da-hyun began to search her surroundings.

"No need, it's just an earphone, no need to make such a fuss." Sana Minatozaki waved her hand. "You guys go ahead."

"Sana unnie, hurry up, or you'll be automatically last in the bath lottery!" Son Chaeyoung, arm in arm with Mina, skipped past the half-open car door.

"Okay~" Minatozaki Sana responded, then looked at them, "You guys go back and wash up first, the sooner you finish washing up, the sooner you can rest."

The three exchanged glances. "Okay."

They met up with the five people who got off the car next door and went into the garage elevator together.

As the elevator doors slowly closed and their figures disappeared from sight, Sana Minatozaki breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, oppa," she whispered to Jung Min-ho in the driver's seat.

"Kenchana." Jung Min-ho shook his head, unconcerned.

"But why did Sana keep it from them?" he asked.

When Jung Min-ho heard the middle-aged woman in the office say that she was a doctor, he was completely stunned. He knew that the doctor in front of him was definitely not someone the company had sent, because he had not received any such notification.

Who summoned that? An alien?

Sana Minatozaki was surprised for a moment, but after thinking for a while, she guessed who was behind it all. After the physical examination, she asked him to keep it a secret.

"Because this is complicated to explain." Sana Minatozaki adjusted the brim of her hat.

She could foresee that if she revealed this, she would definitely face questions from the other members.

She didn't want to hide it from them, but she didn't know how to say it. It wasn't just about the hat; after all, the fact that a male friend would call a doctor for her meant they would inevitably guess that things were going in the wrong direction.

But others might think that Pei Xiyan considers this a very small matter.

Unlike Park Jihyo, who couldn't wait and felt justified in thinking about dating as soon as the three-year dating ban was over, Minatozaki Sana was different.

She didn't want the members to see her that way either.

She has to do her job as an idol well first before she can think about dating.

"Alas." As a seasoned veteran in the workplace, Jung Min-ho understood her thoughts after a little time to think it over.

"But Sana, can you tell me who that person is?" He couldn't help but gossip.

Rather than summoning a doctor, it's hard not to be curious about someone with the background of being able to order around KBS staff and offices.

Sana Minatozaki pursed her lips. "It's Cicada."

She didn't intend to hide it from her agent, which was also a clear indication that she had no plans to date for the time being.

Jung Min-ho was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but exclaim, "What an amazing kid."

He was almost twice the age of Pei Xiyan, so there was no problem in calling Pei Xiyan a child.

Child?

From junior to producer to Cicada, the sudden appearance of "kid" among the various titles used to address Pei Xiyan is both eye-catching and novel.

Sana Minatozaki thought about it and realized that Jung Min-ho was right.

Yes, Pei Xiyan is just a child. Even though he looks cold, his behavior and speech seem very mature.

But he is still a child at heart.

If a child thinks something is good for you, they will do it without considering the consequences or telling you.

What's more, he also likes to eat candy, and the more she thought about it, the more it seemed to be true. Sana Minatozaki's lips curled up slightly.

"What a child." She chuckled and took out her phone to update the notes.

"Little Pei," she murmured.

"Achoo." Pei Xiyan, who was squatting on the swivel chair, rubbed her nose and glanced at the air conditioner in the corner of the recording studio.

"28 degrees isn't low."
