People on the Peninsula: I Became a Lucky Koi

At the end of the month, Seoul was blanketed in snow, and the city seemed to breathe slowly in the tranquil white.

The atmosphere in JYP's female trainee department is tense, filled with the smell of sweat and ambition, but even more so with anxiety about the unknown tomorrow.

Wearing a Burberry scarf, Jin Chan bumped into Hirai Momo in the hallway and greeted her in slightly hesitant but clearly pronounced Japanese, "Momo-san, are you feeling energetic today?"

"Energy!" Hirai Momo straightened her back, revealing a simple and bright smile, and asked in return:

"Chan-san, are you feeling energetic today?"

Jin Can readily agreed with a smile, "Vitality!"

Such conversations occurred frequently throughout the week.

Hirai Momo is like an energetic NPC who will randomly refresh along the way and say "Energetic, huh?" "Energetic."

"Here, coffee for the three of you..." Jin Can handed the coffee to Hirai Momo, then yawned, "I'm going to get breakfast, do you want to come?"

Hirai Momo looked tempted, but still shook her head in distress: "No!"

"We're going to weigh ourselves today..."

"Are you still eating ice cubes lately?" Jin Can frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Hirai Momo nodded with a worried expression, her face falling: "Yes, otherwise it will be very troublesome if training is suspended."

"That's too extreme." Jin Can glanced at her and said nothing more.

In his view, these trainees, cloaked in the guise of dreams, are probably filled with more repression and confusion than anything else...

Jin Can is gone.

Hirai Momo went to the practice room with a miserable expression and shared her coffee with Mina and Minatozaki Sana.

"Where's Can-san?" Sana Minato asked, her bright puppy eyes sparkling.

Hirai Momo took a sip of coffee to stave off her hunger. "The cafeteria."

...

The heating in the cafeteria was on full blast.

Jin Can ordered a rice ball, then, after thinking for a moment, he took a few bananas and put them into his shoulder bag.

It's quite clear what these female trainees are capable of achieving when it comes to strict weight management.

Like Momo Hirai, who eats ice cubes and goes on extreme diets.

Sana Minatozaki, Nayeon Lim, Jeongyeon Yoo, and others also have their own methods, such as going to a sauna the day before weighing themselves until they are almost exhausted.

Once the three cherry blossom friends stepped off the scale, they saw their handsome friend holding three large bananas—

Big-chested buddy, small-chested buddy, I brought you bananas~

You'll definitely be very touched~

A gift for students!

Jin Can sat at the dining table with a smile, eating rice balls.

"Jin Can xi~"

A greeting caught Jin Can's attention.

He glanced to the side and saw Yoo Jeongyeon and Lim Nayeon, one looking worried and the other grinning with her front teeth.

He's just plain grumpy and clueless!

"Jeongyeon-xi~"

Kim Chan chuckled, "Nayeon-ssi~ Is your cold better?"

"I've fully recovered!" Lim Nayeon pursed her lips and smiled a little shyly.

Then he and Yu Dingyan sat at the next table.

The three of them weren't that close. In the eyes of trainees like Lim Na-yeon, this Flying Bro was closer to Sana and the other Japanese trainees.

"It's good that you've recovered."

Jin Can lowered his head and peeled the eggshell.

Now that you're recovered, you'd better practice hard!

At the next table, Lim Nayeon and Yoo Jeongyeon chatted about the company's arrangements for the day:

"Okay, don't worry, Jeongyeon, you definitely won't be overweight..."

Yu Dingyan stared at the breakfast in front of her, with no appetite whatsoever, her eyes filled with worry. "I hope so."

"God will protect you~" Lim Nayeon now feels that God is quite effective.

For example, her lost wallet?

Thinking of this, Lim Nayeon stole a glance at Kim Chan's profile.

Yu Dingyan noticed her friend's gaze and felt a little jealous. "But your attention isn't on me at all."

"Never mind~"

"Let's all do our best for today's end-of-month assessment!"

"Ani~" Lim Nayeon chuckled, her eyes widening, her voice rising slightly, "There's nothing to worry about~ I'm super healthy now, and I've recovered perfectly!"

"You'll definitely pass the test..."

On its own, this wouldn't be a big deal. But when Yoo Jeongyeon glanced at Kim Chan, who was quietly eating beside her, she felt that her friend was being a bit too conspicuous.

It's like when someone is desperately trying to get another person's attention during their school days.

"Yes, yes, yes~" Yoo Jeongyeon still didn't want to offend this unnie, "Unnie~ is the company's number one ace trainee for three consecutive years!"

"Ace Trainee? That's an exaggeration! Jeongyeon..."

Lim Nayeon was a little embarrassed by the compliment. She lowered her head with a rice ball in her mouth and her cheeks slightly flushed, but the upturned corners of her mouth still revealed her big front teeth and a little bit of happiness.

"..."

Jin Can remained silent, peeled another egg, and ate only the egg white.

The conversation at the next table... oh dear.

Lim Na-yeon, this young lady, is a bit like Jiahao…

Yoo Jeongyeon and Lim Nayeon quickly finished their simple breakfast, then walked together to the golden table and politely waved goodbye.

"Kim Chan-ssi, let's head to the practice room to get ready. See you in a bit!"

"Inside."

"See you in a bit," Jin Can said with a smile.

Ten minutes later.

Jin Can took two more seaweed omelet rice balls and put them in his bag.

For Minatozaki Sana and Mina, in the cherry blossom line, Hirai Momo is the one who suffers the most from body management.

Even if I bring it, she won't eat it.

...

...

Arrived at the trainee department.

The long, narrow corridor was dimly lit by white lights, but Jin Can could vaguely hear faint crying and complaining sounds from the other side of the stairwell.

"Waaah..."

"Wow! Jeongyeon, why am I so unlucky?!"

Her voice was clearly choked with sobs, but Kim Chan immediately recognized her – it was Lim Nayeon.

He paused, then turned and walked over.

"Jin Canxi?"

Yu Dingyan looked at Jin Can, who had suddenly appeared, in surprise.

Jin Can looked at Lim Nayeon, who was sitting on the stairs crying her eyes out, and found it quite a contrast.

Just ten minutes ago, he was confidently boasting in the cafeteria…

Right now...

"What's wrong, Nayeon?" Kim Chan asked with concern.

Upon hearing Kim Chan's name, Lim Nayeon immediately forced back her tears, wanting to show her strength.

So her tear-streaked face began to resemble Agni's twisted expression.

"..."

Jin Can's face was tense; he wanted to laugh but felt it wouldn't be kind of him.

He was more worried that something had happened to Lin Nalian.

Yoo Jeongyeon sighed and explained with a helpless expression, "Unnie ran too fast just now, and it seems like she pulled a muscle."

"My body just can't muster any strength right now..."

Nayeon's twisted expression didn't last long before she burst into tears again: "That's not the point. The point is that today is the end-of-month evaluation, and if I can't give PD-nim my best performance, I might not be selected for 'SIXTEEN'!"

As she spoke, her little face, revealing her rabbit teeth, broke into sobs:

"Why am I so unlucky?!"

"Where did you strain it?" Speaking of bad luck, Jin Can thought of the side effects of the entry "[Primordial Spirit Activation]".

As for Lim Na-yeon's side effect, it's that she's unlucky.

Lim Nayeon carefully examined the areas where she couldn't exert any strength, and looked at Kim Chan with a choked voice:

"It seems so..."

"groin!"

Jin Can: "..."

He paused for a moment, still feeling a little apologetic.

Although people always joke about LeBron's groin strain, this kind of injury, if serious, can really affect a career.

Not only basketball, but also dance and combat sports, which require a lot of lower limb strength, turning and confrontation, are most prone to groin strain. Mild strain is not terrible, but if you push through it without rest, it can easily develop into a second or third grade strain.

Jin Can took out his phone, dialed Yin Chengxian's number, and said briefly:

"Brother, drive me to the hospital and contact a doctor."
