People on the Peninsula: I Became a Lucky Koi

In the end, Bae Suzy couldn't win against Kim Chan.

The two arrived at a shooting game booth in the park. A row of plastic guns was placed on the table, and some targets were hung on the wall not far away, where you could score points and win prizes.

Bae Suzy picked up a green plastic gun and raised an eyebrow: "I'm a great shot~"

"Pop-pop-pop!"

She missed three shots in a row, and her ears turned red.

Jin Can picked up the plastic gun, took a quick aim, and glanced at Bae Suzy out of the corner of his eye.

The woman stood to the side, staring intently and expectantly at the target on the wall not far away.

When you're out having fun, it's really fun to win a small prize!

"Pop-pop-pop!" Jin Can didn't pull the trigger of the plastic gun, but instead imitated the sound of a gunshot.

Upon hearing the gunshot, Bae Suzy's eyes widened immediately.

But the targets on the wall were still completely empty…

She turned to the side speechlessly, glaring at Jin Can, "Pretending to be so capable, I thought you were something special!"

"I'm pretty good, I guess~" Jin Can smiled and slightly adjusted his hunched posture.

Then he pulled the trigger, "Pop-pop-pop!"

Bae Suzy's face lit up with excitement, "Amazing!"

With a calm and collected expression, Jin Can fired a few more shots, all hitting the target.

Although this thing is somewhat different from the real thing, the target is close by, so if you have good eyesight and a steady hand, playing this kind of street game is very simple.

Bae Suzy is very good at conveying emotions; her eyes sparkle.

"That was a great shot, Chan!"

"They all hit the bullseye..."

"You're awesome!"

That's a bit hypocritical, really fake.

But Kim Chan was still quite pleased, and snorted, "Claim your prize, noona~"

Bae Suzy happily went to collect a prize, a small square gift box.

Jin Cangang opened it and what he saw was a small plastic pistol.

The design was a bit ugly. He held it in his hand and gestured with it a couple of times, as if it were one of those props for creating atmosphere.

Immediately afterwards, out of boredom, Kim Chan flicked his wrist and pointed the gun at Bae Suzy, who was leaning closer to watch.

Bae Suzy: "...?"

Before she could react, Jin Can's index finger pulled the plastic trigger.

"biu~"

A slight sound.

Under Bae Suzy's bewildered gaze, a soft, bright red, rubbery heart, about the size of a table tennis ball, popped out from the muzzle of the toy gun with a "whoosh"!

Like a prank.

"Pia!"

A soft, loving gesture was applied to Bae Suzy's smooth, full forehead.

Shooting someone is very impolite.

Kim Chan immediately made a heart shape with his hands, grinning, "Here's a heart for you~ Noona~"

Speechless at the prank, Bae Suzy rolled her eyes.

But he still half-heartedly covered his chest with one hand, exclaiming, "Ouch!"

"He's dead..."

With a snap, Bae Suzy staggered backward, putting on an acting show.

Jin Can held up the toy gun, just about to shoot it twice more.

But a strange sense of being watched swept over him...

The effect of the "Eagle Eye" made Jin Can immediately turn his head to look. Not far away, a few dozen meters away, next to the pirate ship project, a figure was holding a camera and pointing it at him and Bae Suzy in the night.

Jin Can wasn't sure if the other party had accidentally captured him and Bae Suzy in the frame.

Or, paparazzi?

"It seems we've been filmed, Noona," Kim Chan said, putting away his gun.

Bae Suzy immediately tensed up from her "near-death" state, "Really?"

She kept turning her head around... but she couldn't find anyone.

"They're gone..."

Jin Can pointed to the direction they had just been, wanting to ask Bae Suzy's opinion.

He doesn't care much about these kinds of photos.

Let them expose it, but these things involve both parties…

It mainly depends on Bae Suzy's thoughts. "If it really is paparazzi, would you mind?"

"Didn't I already answer that question before?" Bae Suzy withdrew her gaze from searching for paparazzi. The accidental incident didn't affect her mood. "Whatever~"

"OK~" Jin Can smiled.

A photo of this quality wouldn't make much of a splash if thrown out.

He estimated that if it really was paparazzi, then for the next one to two months, or even longer, they would be targeting Bae Suzy.

I want to take a decisive photo so that I have the confidence to exchange leverage with the company, which means asking for money.

It was 9:15 PM.

The two followed the parade of floats to the location of the nighttime fireworks show…

A large number of people gathered near the venue.

Kim Chan and Bae Suzy stood in a secluded corner.

"The view here is great." Bae Suzy leaned slightly against the railing, turned her head to look at Kim Chan, and smiled broadly.

Jin Can hummed in agreement.

It was exactly 9:20.

The background music in the park stopped…

But the faint whispers of anticipation around us were amplified considerably.

Immediately afterwards—

"Whoosh—Bang!"

The first silver-white arrow of light, with a whooshing sound, reached the highest point of the night sky in an instant, and then... burst into bloom!

A silver rain fell.

"Wow~"

The crowd below raised their phones and exclaimed in surprise.

But this was just the beginning; fireworks of all colors burst forth...

Jin Can wasn't very interested in fireworks.

He glanced sideways at Bae Suzy's face, which was serene and expressionless, like plain water.

Being with him and just looking at him made Jin Can feel comfortable...

Bae Suzy watched intently, her mouth slightly open, forming an "O" shape.

Suddenly, she brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and looked away: "I can't watch anymore. These fireworks are so dazzling, it makes my neck sore from looking up!"

"Shall we go back to Seoul?" Kim Chan met her smiling eyes.

Bae Suzy crossed her arms and made an "X" gesture: "Let's take a picture before you go~"

After saying that, she took out her phone, pulled Jin Can close to her, and the two of them leaned against the railing.

Jin Can obediently took her phone and held it high.

"Click!"

The photo freezes in time.

Under the bright light of fireworks behind her, Bae Suzy smiled radiantly, her hair blowing in the wind and sticking to her golden face, perfectly set against the corners of her smiling mouth.

...

...

It was close to 11 p.m.

The two returned to Seoul. Before parting ways, Bae Suzy took Kim Chan to Itaewon. She did not see any reluctance in the younger man's eyes.

Jin Can didn't see this woman, who acted like a hooligan, inviting him to her home.

Both of them harbored ulterior motives.

Jin Can returned home and took a shower.

After coming out, he put on his headphones, played two games of League of Legends, instantly picked Vayne, and didn't write an application to anyone.

Not long after.

The phone on the table rang.

Jin Can glanced at Bae Suzy's information when he had a moment.

Bae Suzy: "I'm home~ (acts cute)"

After chatting with Bae Suzy for a while, Kim Chan also offered his condolences to Hirai Momo, who was complaining.

1 points in the early hours.

Jin Can yawned, turned off the lamp, and went to sleep.

...

In his dream, Jin Can was in Everland.

The scene at dusk is still vivid in my mind, but the background music in the park has changed.

The refreshing melody is a combination of sweet R&B ballads and warm mid-tempo hip-hop.

Jin Can stood in the center of Everland, quietly listening to the background music around him.

With a sweet and catchy R&B melody as the main body, plus a light hip-hop rhythm as the base, it is warm, bright and full of youthful vibes.

And the melody of the chorus.

The melody is consistent and highly repetitive, simple and catchy, yet sweet and captivating... making it very suitable for the general public to sing along to.

...

"I'm getting into it..."

Jin Can suddenly woke up from his dream, got out of bed, and went to the study.

The table lamp turned on.

Jin Can sat at his desk, the melody and lyrics from his dream echoing in his mind, though somewhat blurry.

But it doesn't matter...

And the effort put into composition and arrangement over the past two months.

Jin Can quickly dissected the details of those melodies, BPM: 94.

Medium speed, slightly slow.

Composition, musical form: Intro→ Verse1→ Pre-Hook→ Hook→ Verse2→ Pre-Hook→ Hook→ Bridge→ Hook→ Outro.

Next up is the arrangement...
