People on the Peninsula: I Became a Lucky Koi

At 4 PM, Jin Can and the Sakura Line arrived at the beach of Gwanganri Bathing Beach.

The cool sea breeze and the sparse, white waves refreshed the group. In the distance, the iconic Guang'an Bridge spanned the sea, giving it the feel of a seaside town.

"Can you swim?" Jin Can asked curiously.

Minami: Yes.

She is a good swimmer; she received formal training while studying in Japan and knows various swimming styles.

"Expert level!" Hirai Momo proudly raised her face.

"Breaststroke, backstroke..."

Sana Minatozaki sighed, "I can't swim."

She's afraid of water, and even now, while walking along the beach with her shoes on, she only dares to dab her toes across the shallow surface of the sea.

Jin Can expressed his understanding: "Then shall we go ride speedboats, jet skis, or flyboards..."

There are quite a few attractions at Guang'anli Beach, and the beach is bustling with people.

Minami and Momo were both okay, so he turned his attention to Sana Minatozaki.

Sana Minatozaki lowered her eyes and said, "That was so exciting..."

Hirai Momo thought for a moment, then looked at the inflatable boat being towed by a jet ski in the distance: "Shall we go ride a banana boat?"

Sana Minatozaki followed her gaze.

Many families are enjoying themselves on banana boats.

"Chan-san, how's your swimming?" Minatozaki Sana was still a little afraid of water, and hesitated as she looked at Kim Chan, blinking pitifully.

Jin Can took a sip of soda, not to be outdone: "Champion level."

Hearing this, Sana Minatozaki felt much relieved and finally nodded.

The group charged toward the banana boat.

After communicating with the project manager, I made the payment.

Sana Minato stood obediently and nervously in front of Jin Can, who carefully helped her put on her life jacket.

After they finished, the group threw their backpacks into the lockers.

Jin Can suddenly realized that today's trousers were not as practical as the shorts that Hirai Momo and the other two were wearing to show off.

He then ran to the stall next door, picked out a pair of brightly colored shorts, and bought a sun hat for each of the three, including Mina.

On the beach.

The four of them, barefoot, sat down one by one on the bright yellow banana.

"I'll sit here!"

Sana Minatozaki's voice was clear and crisp, and she sounded excited.

Barefoot, he splashed through the shallow water, his target clearly pointing to the seat behind Jin Can.

royalty, they're tall and imposing, they give people a sense of security...

Mina was leading the way, sitting in the first seat. She reminded Sana, "Sana, remember to hold onto the nylon rope tightly..."

Hirai Momo was the last one to sit on the banana boat. As soon as she sat down, the banana boat, which had been fairly stable, noticeably sank backward, and the bow even tilted up slightly.

The person in front of her, Sana Minatozaki, screamed "Oh my!" in fright.

"Is everything ready?" a crew member on a motorboat asked loudly from a short distance away.

"Inside!"

The three girls answered in unison, their voices sounding quite expectant.

Although Sana Minatozaki was afraid of water, she had already played in it, so she excitedly and nervously kicked the seawater.

The banana boat was slowly pulled straight and taut by the motorboat's tow rope.

"Buzzing!"

The engine roared.

The motorboat revved up and surged forward.

"Waaaaaah...!"

The unexpected false start caused Sana Minatozaki to scream, her previous anticipation vanishing.

Startled, she immediately wrapped her arms around Jin Can's lower back.

The banana boat was pulled violently by the enormous force, its bow splitting the sea surface and creating huge white waves that splashed seawater all over the four people's faces.

"..."

Jin Can felt a tight force around his waist and was slightly startled.

All she could hear was Sana Minatozaki's shrill "waaaaa" voice.

"Are you holding the nylon rope...?" Jin Can was a little out of breath from being hugged so tightly that he couldn't help but shout.

Sana Minatozaki felt the banana boat bobbing on the waves beneath her, her face pale: "You let me play, so I was just leaning on you for a bit, what's wrong?!"

People's joys and sorrows are not shared.

Hirai Momo, bringing up the rear, let out an excited roar, raising her arms high in the sunlight.

"Whatever~" Jin Can generously let Minatozaki Sana's nervous and trembling body press against him.

However, their clothes, soaked by the seawater, were now pressed together, and he could faintly feel each other's body heat...

It's okay.

He is a man of three words: kindness, tolerance, and positive energy.

Mina, who was sitting at the front, heard the two people behind her talking as if they were arguing.

She couldn't help but raise her voice, "Chan-san, what's wrong?"

"Stop arguing with Sana..."

"No way." Jin Can shook his head, turning away from the waves. "Aigoo, how am I supposed to explain this to you!"

His tone was very depressed.

Although Mina spoke a little loudly, she still said softly, "Speak slowly."

"Really?"

"explain!"

She was getting a little anxious and couldn't help but want to turn around and glare at Jin Can.

Jin Can immediately spoke up, "Don't turn around, Mina-san."

As she spoke, Mina obediently withdrew her head.

But unexpectedly, she felt Jin Can gently hug her waist from behind.

The warmth of her palm was clearly transmitted through Mina's damp clothes.

"..." Mina stood there stunned, as if she had been electrocuted, her body trembling for a moment.

Shock, astonishment, shame and indignation... a complex mix of emotions instantly welled up in her heart.

What does "Don't look back, Mina-san" mean?

Her face flushed slightly, and she bit her lip, saying, "What are you doing, Chan-san!"

"That's how Sana-san treated me..." Kim Chan withdrew his hand. He just didn't know how to tell Mina, so he was just demonstrating. "If you don't believe me, look back."

Mina gripped the nylon rope and suddenly turned her face.

Her wet, brown hair was brushed against her golden face by the sea breeze. The student looked helpless as she looked down.

Sure enough, around Jin Can's waist, were Sana Minatozaki's hands.

"Pah~" Jin Can spat out a strand of hair that had been blown by the wind from the corner of his mouth, which belonged to Mina.

Mina's fair face curled into a vicious sneer.

Immediately afterwards, he swiftly extended his fist and slammed it into the air.

Jin Can thought Mina was going to hit him, and he flinched back in fright...

"Heh~" Mina rolled her eyes, and with a "whoosh," a middle finger popped out of her fist.

International gesture!

Then, she turned her head and looked at the sea with a smile on her lips.

"...Are you serious, Mina-san?" Kim Chan asked incredulously.

Mina usually has a very reserved facial expression, except for a wide grin. So, the fact that the person least likely to do such a thing—giving the middle finger—suddenly did it is both unbelievable and amusing…

Mina ignored him and rode her banana boat.

Jin Can couldn't help but peek over and ask, "Can you say 'shiba'?"

It's hard to imagine what Mina would say about Nishihachi.

"west, west..." Mina glanced at him sideways, as if preparing to grant his request, "west, west..."

She deliberately paused, while meeting Jin Can's expectant gaze.

"Nice!" Mina delivered a powerful elbow strike to Kim Chan's arm.

Jin Can laughed out loud, while Sana Minatozaki behind him was still screaming.

But actually, she had gradually gotten used to the speed of the banana boat and was screaming and laughing wildly...

"..."

The four of them also arranged to have a photographer take pictures at the beach.

As the banana boat cruised around the horizon and slowly returned, Hirai Momo hurriedly urged Kim Chan, Mina, and Minatozaki Sana to look at the camera.

On the beach, a photographer sets up his camera.

The sunlight poured down without reservation, focusing on the figures of the four people and the sea.

There were many tourists nearby taking pictures of the sea with its blooming flowers in spring, and on the banana boat that had slowed down, the four of them, Jin Can and his companions, adorably posed for the camera...

Hot springs, dinner... The four of them played in Busan until 9 p.m. before rushing to the high-speed rail station to catch their train back to Seoul.

It was already 12 o'clock when we arrived in Seoul.

"Don't forget to come and support us after you join the crew!" Sana Minatozaki waved and reminded him from her taxi seat.

Jin Can smiled and nodded: "I will go."

...

3 month 26 day.

Jin Chan went to the set of "The Producers", and today, the series will officially begin filming.
