Peninsula Cicada Song Diary

Chapter 69 Coffee is only worth this much

"Why isn't Yeji unnie back yet~"

Shin Yuna lay on the practice room floor without any regard for her image, her disheveled hair covering her face.

She was either too weak or her hair was blocking the ceiling light, so she was too lazy to lift it.

If she could, she really wanted to just close her eyes and fall asleep, because for some reason, she couldn't muster the energy to practice without coffee.

Just like a fish that has lost its bicycle has also lost its water.

"How long has Yeji unnie been gone?" Lee Chaeryeong sat down next to her with her knees drawn up. "The coffee shop downstairs isn't doing badly."

Although JYP Entertainment has only been in its new building for two or three months, many people have already reported seeing Twice in coffee shops online.

For example, this means that unless it's during extreme weather, there will always be a lot of customers waiting in the coffee shop downstairs, hoping to catch a "rabbit" (a slang term for someone who tries to dine out).

After all, compared to buying dozens or hundreds of albums for a lottery, now you might be able to meet your idol for the price of a small cup of coffee. No fan can resist such a temptation.

And if you happen to run into them and bring an album with you, you might get a chance to get an autographed copy, thus getting a free autograph session.

What a great deal!

"I feel like I'm going to die." Shin Yoo-na spoke weakly, each breath seeming as if she were exhaling her soul.

"Does Unnie know what death is?" she asked.

"Pah, pah, pah, how old are you? Why are you talking about these things?" Li Cailing frowned and sternly slapped her. "Besides, I haven't experienced it, how would I know?"

"Serves you right, who told you to stay up all night last night? Now you're feeling terrible." Shin Ryujin, sitting with her legs spread apart, stated the truth and offered merciless ridicule. "I only found out when I woke up this morning that you were still sharing videos with me at 3 a.m.!"

"I..." Shin Yoona stammered, caught out, before finally whispering the blame: "It's all the phone's fault, who told it to be so funny..."

'

"What groups are making a comeback? Who's dating whom? Who broke up with whom? Where did Cicada go?" At that age of curiosity and love of fun, she talked about all the gossip she had recently heard about online.

"I saw that last trending topic," Choi Jisoo said. "I only just realized that he wrote so many of my favorite songs."

"So where did Cicada go?" Shin Yoo-na asked earnestly.

She spent three or four days in that hot spot, only to see people praising how amazing he was, but not a single person came out to explain.

"Maybe he'll come to JYP." Shin Ryujin raised an eyebrow, his quirky expression looking somewhat comical.

The words had barely left his mouth when, "Knock knock."

"Here's your coffee." Shin Ryujin glanced at Shin Yoona. Because she was closest to the door, she got up while yelling, "Unnie, you could have just opened the door! If you hadn't come back, Yoona was going to..."

'

She opened the door and could only see a black down jacket. The person in front of her was much shorter than she had imagined, so she had to look up to see...

"Producer!"

This shout woke Shin Yoo-na, who had just been yelling that she was going to die. She jumped up like a rabbit and ran to the door with the other two unnies.

"Producer!"

"What's going on with Yuna?" Pei Xiyan was curious about what Shen Liuzhen hadn't finished saying.

"I'm about to die~" Because of the goodwill she had developed from their two previous meetings, Shen Youna was not afraid of Pei Xiyan at all. She pinched her own neck and stuck out her tongue.

"Why?" Pei Xiyan asked, puzzled.

"Because there's no coffee." Shin Yuna said with a sullen face, "Yeji unnie can save us when she comes back."

Pei Xiyan nodded, then moved a few steps to the side, revealing Huang Lizhi, who had been completely hidden by him, as if by magic.

"Unnie!" Shin Yuna's eyes lit up instantly as she searched him from head to toe, her expression growing increasingly panicked and shocked. "Am I blind? Where's the coffee?"

Huang Lizhi glanced at the boy beside him without saying a word. Just as Shen Youna looked utterly hopeless, Pei Xiyan calmly took out a coffee bag from behind her back. "Is this the coffee bag?"

Upon entering the practice room, Shin Yuna took a large gulp of coffee she had just taken out of the bag.

"Ugh~ So cold!" She was chilled and grimaced as she put it down.

"Nobody's going to take it from you, slow down." Huang Lizhi frowned and took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe the coffee that had splashed on her cheek.

Pei Xiyan blinked. He had seen this scene of his unnie taking care of the maknae many times before.

"Producer-nim, you've finally arrived." Shin Ryujin didn't use a straw and took a sip straight from the coffee lid. "I thought you'd forgotten about us."

"Maga! How come you haven't come for so long?" Shin Yoo-na continued her accusation.

Pei Xiyan explained without changing her expression, "I've been a bit busy lately, but I happen to have some free time today."

Choi Jisoo had already gone to the corner of the practice room to get her bag. She unzipped it, took out a stack of papers clipped to her side, along with a hard drive, and handed it to him. "Producer-nim, hard drive and lyrics."

They carried the writing with them with them, firstly for easy revision, and secondly so that they could hand it to Pei Xiyan immediately if they encountered him.

"Here." Pei Xiyan put the hard drive into her down jacket pocket and picked up the lyrics they had written to give a cursory glance.

Every sheet of paper had been revised, showing how much effort was put into it. Shin Yoo-na's sheet had the most marks, almost entirely covered with black circles indicating that words had been crossed out. She had revised it at least four or five times.

"What does the producer think?" Lee Chaeryeong held the coffee in both hands, carefully waiting for the result.

"I need to take it back and take a closer look." Pei Xiyan smiled, carefully folding the paper. "You guys continue practicing, I'll be going now."

"The producer left so soon?" Shin Yoo-na was a little surprised.

"Does Youna want me to correct your homework in person?" Pei Xiyan said, picking up her lyrics and starting to correct them. "This 'Thank you, producer-nim, no need!' reminded Shen Youna of unpleasant memories from school. She loudly stopped him, even making a gesture like a waiter pointing the way, 'Producer-nim, please come this way!'"

"Okay, keep it up, you guys." Pei Xiyan couldn't help but chuckle, nodded to them, and left.

Watching his retreating figure, Huang Lizhi pursed his lips, but then chased after him.

"Producer-nim."

"Hmm?" Pei Xiyan stopped and turned around. "Is there anything else, Li Zhi?"

"Um..." Hwang Ye-ji bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and then handed over the neatly folded banknotes with both hands. "If the producer doesn't accept them, I'll feel really guilty."

She's still agonizing over whether to treat everyone to coffee; she's such a stubborn little fox.

Pei Xiyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and pulled out the smallest denomination banknote, 1000 yuan, from the stack of banknotes.

"This is the only price my coffee is worth," he said with a smile, noticing Huang Lizhi's surprised expression.
