People on the Peninsula: I Became a Lucky Koi

"Aigoo!"

Bae Suzy hung up the phone, parked the car on the side of the road, and raised her hand to touch her forehead.

He ran his fingers through his brown hair and took a deep breath.

Jin Can glanced at her from the passenger seat; this woman had just finished a phone call with the scriptwriter on set.

The screenwriter relayed what happened on set: Lee Min-ho was dressed to the nines, but... his nose was red.

As a result, after learning that Bae Suzy and Kim Chan had left, this guy threw the roses he was holding into the crew's trash can and drove away.

"...Tsk tsk."

Bae Suzy is now in a real bind, she knows it perfectly well.

Lee Min-ho's act of throwing flowers in public on set simply meant that the two of them, who were still in contact, no longer needed to interact.

This haughty attitude made Bae Suzy somewhat unhappy.

"Noona~" Kim Chan blinked his clear eyes, "Have I made people misunderstand us?"

As soon as he finished speaking...

Bae Suzy turned her head in surprise, her nostrils filled with the fragrance of the car.

There was a faint hint of tea flavor.

"Ani~"

"Let it be a misunderstanding!" Bae Suzy pursed her lips and carefully examined her contact with Lee Min-ho over the past two weeks.

Two weeks ago, the two met and started getting to know each other through a friend's introduction.

However, the two did not meet during this period due to work reasons, and the filming over the past few days made Bae Suzy and Lee Min-ho's conversations somewhat cold.

"Have a meal!"

Bae Suzy took off the hair tie from her wrist and tied her hair into a high ponytail.

Immediately afterwards, he gripped the steering wheel, stepped on the gas... and the car continued to move.

"Sigh, it's all my fault~"

Jin Can sighed softly, "It's me who made Nuna suffer..."

I secretly thought to myself, "This 'side effect' tag isn't good either?!"

Brother Prisoner!

Is it not 200% certain that Bae Suzy's relationship will be exposed?

FW~

"Hehe~" Bae Suzy raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, "Little mouth~"

After saying that, she raised her hand and made a gesture as if she were sewing her mouth shut.

But the carriage remained quiet for about ten seconds.

Bae Suzy frowned slightly, biting her lower lip. "Ah, Chan!"

"I'm asking you, if you were asked to explain things to Lee Min-ho...would you go?"

She slowed down, observing Jin Can's expression out of the corner of her eye.

Jin Can lay casually smiling in the adjusted passenger seat.

"Won't."

Upon hearing this answer...

Bae Suzy's serious expression softened a bit, and she chuckled, "Not bad."

"Want to know why?"

She asked.

"I don't want to." Kim Chan wasn't interested. Instead, she thought of the drama "Kim Eun-sook" that Lee Min-ho starred in, which was a huge hit.

He didn't know the screenwriter of the show. But he had some connection with his sister, who lived in the United States…

In the script, Kim Ji-won's character, Rachel Yoo, has a classic line: "My family has been rich since my great-great ...

The gist is that, starting from my father's father's father, generation after generation, there has never been a moment without money.

These words came from my own little sister's innocent and naive words back then.

Lee Min-ho, have you ever played a chaebol? You even acted as a chaebol...

Even though Kim Chan wasn't interested, Bae Suzy blinked and explained, "Chan, it's because of you that a relationship that was about to start fell through~"

"If you're really going to go and explain things to Lee Min-ho, you'll make me lose face by pushing and shoving me around like that!"

"Focus on driving, Noona!" Kim Chan didn't want to listen to her lecture.

Bae Suzy ignored him and added earnestly:

"Then...I'll hate you!"

"What flowers did he give you?" Kim Chan tilted his head, looking at Bae Suzy's face as she drove.

Her high ponytail gave her a somewhat capable look.

After expressing what she wanted to say, Bae Suzy replied, "Red roses."

...

...

Lee Min-ho's affair didn't affect Bae Suzy much at the barbecue restaurant.

While waiting for the grilled meat to cook, she yelled at Kim Chan, who was sitting opposite her, "Make sure you take good pictures of Noona~ Understand?"

"Too verbose."

Jin Can took Bae Suzy's phone and looked for several seats in the private room.

"Click-clack~"

The photo freezes in time.

After taking several photos, Jin Chan checked the quality of the photos and looked at Bae Suzy, who looked great in the pictures.

He was somewhat surprised, considering his own photography skills to be average.

But now... the content that's being released is really good.

Jin Can guessed that perhaps it was the "divine image" attribute associated with Bae Suzy that was making a difference.

"Wow~"

"praise!"

Bae Suzy covered her mouth, leaned close to Kim Chan's face, and praised his photography skills, "You're such a good photographer?"

Jin Can was speechless, unsure how to respond.

I've admired Guan Xige's masterpiece...

"You're quite the hidden talent~" Bae Suzy pursed her lips, some lipstick still smudged on her front teeth.

As she spoke, she organized the photos from today's wrap-up shoot and uploaded them to her Instagram account.

Finally, she added a picture of the bouquet of flowers that Jin Can had given her.

A huge handful, visually striking, placed in the center of the nine-square grid...

The caption reads, "Filming wrapped! (Fireworks)"

"Eat quickly, it's going to burn..." Jin Can picked up a piece of grilled meat and stuffed it into his mouth, while holding a can of cola in his other hand and taking a sip.

Cool~

The thick smell of cooking oil gradually blurred their vision as they ate and chatted, making everything hazy.

Bae Suzy sighed, "It's a pity you're not old enough, otherwise we should have a drink together and get a little tipsy."

"97~"

I'm three years older than you!

"That's why it's called Nuna," Kim Chan laughed.

Bae Suzy beamed, "I suddenly understand Taeyeon sunbaenim now~"

We were chatting.

Gong Cheng paused in his act of grilling meat, his eyes meeting the panel above him.

Under the information section for "Bae Suzy".

"Side effects entry: [Amazing image]"

"In the viral social media posts, Bae Suzy's 'divine image', blessed by you, sparked a surge in community discussion and buzz. You gained a bit of buzz from this +2 points."

"Camera presence +2 points"

"...Continuing to absorb..."

Jin Chan casually opened his phone and logged into Instagram.

I looked up Bae Suzy's Instagram account, and sure enough, the news of her movie wrapping up and the nine-grid photos, straight from the camera, were being praised to the skies in the comments section.

No white liver!

...

...

Dinner ended, and I stood on the chilly street.

The streetlights in Jiangdong District cast a warm orange glow, bringing a touch of warmth to this winter.

Kim Chan had his hands in his coat pockets, and Bae Suzy stood beside him, wrapped in a scarf, waiting with him for the driver.

While waiting.

Bae Suzy tried to stand on tiptoe and tilt her head back, as if she wanted to compare heights.

"Stand there." Jin Cancan smiled and pointed to the steps behind her. "Stand up there, and if you stand on tiptoe, you'll be taller than me."

Bae Suzy rolled her eyes at him, "You have such a beautiful smile, but when you talk... you're so mischievous."

"The car is here."

Jin Can recognized the Bentley that was slowly pulling up.

Bae Suzy glanced at him, took out her car keys from her bag, and prepared to say goodbye to this younger man and go home.

But he hadn't yet said goodbye.

Jin Can, however, went to the Bentley's trunk first and opened it.

Bae Suzy stared wide-eyed, speechless, and wanted to complain about this impolite younger man.

But in sight, the tall figure was now backed by the streetlight, and the surroundings were pitch black.

I can't see what they're fiddling with.

A short while later, Jin Can returned and winked at the family driver.

Like expressing gratitude...

Kim Chan casually held a bouquet of red roses in his hand, and with a smile, stuffed them into Bae Suzy's bewildered arms:

"Hey~ Noona!"

"I'm sorry you missed out on receiving a bouquet of flowers, I'll make it up to you~"

These words were sincere; Jin Can was genuinely grateful to this woman for the points she had given him.

Unlocking the first term is just around the corner.

"You asked me in the car earlier what flowers Lee Min-ho gave me. Was it because of... this?" Bae Suzy pursed her lips and looked up at his warm, smiling face.

She unconsciously bit her lip, her eyes shining.

Jin Can nodded. "Mm."

Then, he told his family's driver, Uncle Che, to buy a bouquet of flowers.

"But speaking of which, Lee Min-ho's taste is pretty terrible." Kim Chan glanced disdainfully at the red roses in Bae Suzy's arms. "Giving roses?"

Bae Suzy held the bright red roses and stared at Jin Chan's face.

As he complained, his thin lips seemed to be swirling with cold, white air, giving him a somewhat ethereal look. "Besides, while surprises require being unexpected, timing and occasion are even more important."

"Yes, Lee Min-ho is an idiot." Bae Suzy smiled and agreed with him.

She raised the red rose in her hand again, "—This is the real surprise!"

"However..." Bae Suzy puffed out her cheeks, narrowing her smiling eyes, "Chan!"

"You seem to be even more arrogant than Lee Min-ho..."

She vaguely gained a deeper understanding of Kim Chan, but this new side gave Bae Suzy a sense of surprise, like solving a Rubik's Cube.

Jin Can smiled and said, "I am very approachable."

"Be careful, bye..."

Satisfied, he waved goodbye to Bae Suzy.

Bae Suzy smiled and nodded. She walked to her car door, then looked back at Kim Chan. "Chan, shall we... see you at the company?"

See you at the office!

Jin Can responded.

...

...

The following day, March 5.

Jin Can had just gotten up when he opened the panel and clicked on the message bar.

After a night of fermentation, several solo photos from Bae Suzy's Instagram post last night have gone viral on Korean online forums.

Some fans didn't hesitate to use it as their profile picture.

Jin Can counted his current points on his panel.

"Topic level: 5 points"

"Camera presence: 5 points"

"Dance: 2 o'clock"

"Script understanding: 1 point"

The dance-related material was brought by Lim Nayeon, and Kim Chan pondered it for a moment.

Was this trainee practicing overtime yesterday?

Highly motivated!

Jin Can is likely to unlock the keyword fastest by being on camera or generating buzz.

According to Bae Suzy, she revealed during dinner yesterday that she will be doing a product endorsement shoot today...

We can still absorb some more.

"..."

After washing up, Jin Can called her second uncle and they talked about her acting career.

"Just wait, we're casting for a few scripts right now," Kim Se-tae said on the phone. "However, it's easy to debut as an actor, but... Chan, how well you act, will people accept you... you understand?"

Jin Can sat in the living room with a smile, "Alas, Second Uncle."

"If it's not the right material, I won't force it..."
