People on the Peninsula: I Became a Lucky Koi

Chapter 81, First Station Master (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

After Jin Chan finished showering and changed his clothes...

The three of them arrived at the entrance of the swimming pool. Im Yoona was still sitting in the back seat, while Kim Tae-yeon was driving.

But the passenger seat was occupied by Jin Can.

He glanced around the Mercedes' interior; there was a soft fragrance in the cabin, and the center console was stuffed with cosmetics such as lipsticks.

"seat belt."

Kim Tae-yeon smiled and glanced at him, offering a reminder.

Jin Can fastened his seatbelt, nodded, rolled down the passenger window, and waved to a street corner not far away.

Yoon Sung-hyun, who cosplays as a paparazzi, is quite adept at handling these kinds of things.

He held up his long-lens camera—"Click!"

The image was intentionally out of focus, but you can still roughly see the profile of Kim Chan in the passenger seat. Kim Tae-yeon was not in the frame.

But her famous Korean Mercedes, with its white license plate and black number, was clearly captured in the camera footage—

"Click click click~"

I took several pictures in a row.

Yoon Sung-hyun called Kim Chan to let him know it was all set.

Afterwards, he returned to his car and followed the Mercedes in front of him.

Actually, there's an even simpler and more straightforward way to do this, such as Kim Tae-yeon simply driving Kim Chan to JYP.

Downstairs.

The anti-government protesters there act like they're clocking in for work.

Every night, they never leave before the appointed time.

But if that were the case, public opinion would quickly escalate, and the timing wouldn't be right for Jin Can.

The point he wanted was around the time of his solo debut—

Let Baekhyun burn himself out for Jinchan, until he is completely consumed—leaving only emerald green ash behind.

"Is it hot? Do you want us to turn on the air conditioning?"

Kim Tae-yeon made a conversation while driving.

What she really wanted to say was, "Chan—you're the first boy to sit in my passenger seat."

Unfortunately, the internet has a memory.

"It's alright." Jin Can chuckled. The weather was a bit gloomy today.

Yoona, sitting in the back row, asked curiously, "Did you read what I sent you last night?"

"I saw it." Jin Can's expression stiffened when he mentioned it.

He seriously doubted whether this woman was bringing him bad luck.

Like that YG trainee, although he didn't understand much about jokes and such, at least the trainee didn't hold him back, he was just a useless person.

Yoona smiled contentedly, her eyes crinkling into a smile: "How was the result?"

"It's not really suitable for me," Jin Can said bluntly.

We can't let her keep acting like this!

Listening to their conversation, Kim Tae-yeon felt a pang of embarrassment: "I think they acted very well."

"Not suitable? How could that be?" Lim Yoona crossed her arms, her figure as smooth as her career.

Jin Can remained silent.

Kim Tae-yeon sensed his meaning and quickly changed the subject: "His reputation is improving, Chan."

"Hmm." But Jin Can believed that his reputation hadn't completely collapsed yet.

Not yet at the limit—

Twenty minutes later, during a break in the chat.

As darkness fell in Seoul, neon lights flickered along the streets, and orange lights illuminated the Han River.

This point.

The anti-fans downstairs at JYP's small building have mostly dispersed, and along the way to work, some family fans also started leaving after seeing their favorite characters finish get off work.

The company's back door.

Kim Tae-yeon's Mercedes-Benz was parked steadily under the streetlight.

Yoon Sung-hyun drove his car in front of the Mercedes and took out his camera to pose for photos.

In the shot, Jin Can pushes open the car door and slowly gets out. His tall figure casts a long shadow under the streetlights.

A short brown leather jacket, worn over a white T-shirt and jeans.

:

This time, Yoon Sung-hyun also filmed Kim Tae-yeon driving the car very clearly, and Lim Yoon-ah was also in the shot.

However, when the photos were leaked, Yoona was photoshopped to appear as transparent air.

Later, during the clarification process, the original photos were released.

When the photos are released, not only will Yoona's presence be blurred, but the date will also be obscured. Later, when the original photos are released, the situation will change.

Kim Tae-yeon's fans will naturally dig into her schedule for that day, and once they compare it, it's clear that she's already done a lot.

Pure and innocent.

SM Entertainment will also take this opportunity to officially announce Kim Tae-yeon's solo debut this year.

At the point of solo careers, rumors and topics of conversation arise.

Fans will only guess in two directions: either their own idol is about to go solo and their rivals are causing trouble, or SM is using black-and-red marketing to manipulate and purify their fanbase.

Fans are actually very clear about this process, but the black-and-red marketing strategy still works.

"Click-clack-click-clack!"

Yoon Sung-hyun's camera was working.

Standing under the streetlight, Kim Chan leaned against the car window and looked at Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah: "Let's go, noona~"

"I've done you such a big favor, shouldn't I treat unnie and your teacher to a meal?" Im Yoona smiled, trying to flatter herself.

She can also tie people up.

Jin Can laughed and said, "No problem."

However, not today. In the coming days, SM has specially arranged some schedules for these two to make it easier for them to show their faces and for fans to keep as evidence.

"See you next time—"

Kim Tae-yeon leaned back in the driver's seat, tilted her head slightly, and blinked: "Will it be this kind of request again?"

She said this with a smile.

But deep down, I still feel a bit uncomfortable about the hype.

"Ani".

"Next time, I'll ask Nuna to have dinner with me—" Kim Chan laughed heartily.

Kim Tae-yeon nodded in satisfaction: "You know what's good for you."

#Mercedes-Benz door# - Filming wrapped.

But just as the three were about to wrap up, Kim Chan, who was leaning against the car window chatting with Kim Tae-yeon, suddenly heard a voice behind him.

"Simon?"

The female voice was calling out the standard stage name.

This startled Yoona, who shrank back in her seat. Fortunately, the windows were privacy-protected, so no one could see inside.

"Noona, let's go first."

Jin Can realized things were about to go wrong, so he gave them a warning first.

Immediately afterwards, the passenger window rolled up, and Kim Tae-yeon stepped on the gas and drove away.

He slowly turned around and looked at the familiar figure who had just walked over.

It was that person who blocked her in the alley behind the company back door—[Beauty is justice].

If Jin Can remembers correctly, the little girl's name should be Hong Xiya.

".——."

Hong Xiya craned her neck, watching the nanny van drive away in the distance.

If she remembered correctly, it was the license plate of Ms. Bian's aunt, Ms. Tai.

"Hong Xi-ya?"

Jin Can called her name to confirm.

He felt a little strange. How could this girl always manage to catch him? He was worried that if she revealed that he had met with Kim Tae-yeon tonight, he would feel terrible.

The timing is wrong—eating this black liquid won't have much effect.

Hong Xiya was stunned when she heard her name.

Then, her eyes lit up with excitement: "Oppa actually remembers my name?"

"certainly."

Jin Can said helplessly, "I have a very deep impression of you."

He glanced at Hong Xiya; the girl was still holding the same homemade support sign as the last time they met.

Sensing Jin Can's gaze, Hong Xi Ya held up a sign that read: "[Cold-faced cute guy - Simon]".

As for Byun Baekhyun, they have long since severed ties and are no longer close strangers.

She flipped the sign over again—[Oppa, walk the flower path, cover your ears and rush forward!]

"Oppa, I'm your real fan now, not an anti-fan." Hong Hee-ah stated her position.

She felt that her first meeting with this guy was like a dark chapter in her life.

Jin Can chuckled: "I didn't really care about what happened last time."

The two started chatting.

Hong Xi-ya asked hesitantly, "Oppa, was that Aunt Tai's car just now?"

"You and her can't really—"

Upon hearing the address "Auntie Tae," Kim Chan's face twitched slightly: "Yes, it's Taeyeon sunbaenim's car."

"Oppa, tell the truth."

"If you two are really dating—I won't tell anyone, I'll keep it a secret for you," Hong Xiya said confidently after thinking it over.

This is very common in fan circles. Some fan site administrators, when they catch their idol dating, will either unfollow and turn against them, or quietly help cover it up.

Jin Can was surprised: "I don't need you to hide anything for me."

"I don't rely on a persona to make a living."

"Yes, Oppa is different from Byun," Hong Hee-ah answered quickly.

Passing by a coffee shop on the street, Jin Can bought two ice creams and handed them to this fan who had gone from being an anti to a die-hard fan.

Hong Xiya's heart trembled slightly as she looked at the strawberry-flavored ice cream being handed to her from mid-air.

Her face flushed red, and her eyes lit up with excitement.

She didn't get any ice cream, not even a speck of dust, at Bian's place.

"Take it," Jin Can urged, while he took a bite of another ice cream on a chair in front of the coffee shop.

Hong Xiya took it and sat down beside her, saying, "I can't bear to eat it."

"It will melt if you don't eat it." Jin Can rolled her eyes. She didn't consider her a fan at all, just a young girl.

Hong Xi-ya looked up and explained earnestly, "Because I like Oppa, I can't bear to part with things given by someone I like."

After saying that, she took out her phone and immediately took a picture of the ice cream cone.

I flipped it over and over, choosing several angles—

"I understand." Jin Can nodded and chuckled, then added, "Actually, I'm a nobody. You see, not many people on the street recognize me."

So—eat it.

"If you can catch me again, I'll buy you ice cream." He chuckled and shrugged.

Hong Xiya was stunned, her eyes reddened, and she felt a surge of emotion.

She glanced down at the strawberry-colored ice cream. "Really?"

"real."

"This isn't like you, Oppa."

"What makes me who I am?"

Jin Can countered with a question. Under the shop lights of the coffee shop, he took off his brown jacket, draped it over his shoulder, and casually ate an ice cream.

Hong Xiya stared at Jin Can's profile, which was bathed in light, and was stunned by his handsome appearance.

"In my memory, Oppa was supposed to be rebellious and sharp enough to make people afraid to look him in the eye—and that's exactly what you were like too. Giving the middle finger, rolling your eyes at antis—"

"Otherwise, can I help you keep your affair with Aunt Tai a secret?"

She murmured softly, her lips trembling slightly.

But in the end, I still took a small sip of the ice cream; it was icy and very sweet.

"What does this have to do with this? Besides, I'm not dating Taeyeon." Kim Chan looked at her suspiciously.

Hong Xi-ya looked at him with a resentful gaze: "Because Oppa isn't this bad for the first time, I've become desensitized to things like dating and third parties."

"???"

Jin Can couldn't hold back anymore; he's still an anti at heart!

What do you mean, "I've always been that bad"? You're so desensitized to meddling in other people's lives and dating that you're practically oblivious to it all—

Hong Xiya continued, "But now I realize I was wrong."

"Oppa is actually a very soft-hearted person—"

She held up the ice cream in her hand, smiling broadly.

Jin Can was satisfied and chuckled, "You weren't saying that because of the ice cream, were you?"

"Of course not," Hong Xiya immediately denied, sniffing, "It's from feeling with my heart—"

A night breeze blows.

Jin Can's tousled hair was blown away by the wind. After obtaining his consent, Hong Xi Ya picked up her phone and started taking pictures of him.

She simply wanted to document that on this quiet summer night in May, a boy wasn't as bad as the outside world made him out to be.

"Oppa, you're going to be very famous in the future." Hong Hee-ah, biting into her ice cream, tilted her head slightly and also appeared in the frame.

On the chair to her right, Jin Can was comfortably leaning back in the wicker chair, crunching on the crispy part of an ice cream cone: "Is this considered a blessing?"

After speaking, he glanced casually at the camera and looked back at the viewfinder.

"I will always support you." Hong Xi-ya made a funny face in the video of the group photo.

But his bright, hazy eyes shone with an unusually firm determination.

Originally, her motto was "[Beauty is justice]".

But now she feels that she was a bit shallow before. She thought that she would support a boy like Kim Chan oppa, who is both good-looking and a really nice person, for the rest of her life.

Kim~chan, fly high!

"Kamsammida~ I'll do my best." Jin Chanha laughed.

"Is Oppa going to the film set to shoot tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"Can I come and support you? I'm a fan site admin!"

Jin Can felt a warmth in his heart when he heard the term "station sister". Strictly speaking, he didn't have a station sister yet.

Children like Xiaowen, Xiaoliu, Xiaojiang, and Xiaoche are too young; they are still in junior high school.

"High school students should focus on their studies!"

"—You won't fall behind in your studies."

"It still doesn't work."

"Why?" Hong Xiya asked loudly, utterly puzzled.

Jin Can turned to look at her: "Because there are a lot of antis, supporting me would be dangerous for you."

That's the absolute truth.

"Oh~" Hong Xiya didn't know what to say. She was a very sentimental girl, and now her eyes were filled with tears.

She felt that Oppa was being treated so unfairly!

Even in such a wronged state, he still cared about himself.

"Leave the fan wars to me, Oppa! Just focus on filming."

Hong Xiya made up her mind to edit a documentary about Kim Chan Oppa herself.

Let those who are against him and those who are unaware of the truth know that my brother is a really good person.

"—"

Ten minutes later.

Jin Can returned to the company, and Hong Xiya left reluctantly.

He gained his first fan site admin, a fan who turned out to be an anti-fan.

Fate is ingenious—

:

"Chan-san! Be energetic today!"

Hirai Momo spotted Kim Chan as soon as he entered the practice room and shouted "Yahoo!"

She's in a good mood. Even though she's still in the minor group, she's determined to take back everything she's lost!

"vitality."

"Where's Momo-san?"

Jin Can asked back with great interest, and he was in a pretty good mood after gaining a fan.

The conversation was triggered to end.

Kim Chan and Park Jihyo, Hirai Momo, Lim Nayeon and others who had gathered around talked about matters related to "SIXTEEN".

Their current task has progressed to the elimination round, which sounds very brutal, following Lee Chae-yeon's elimination two days ago.

These trainees are terrified that they'll be next.

Lim Nayeon raised an eyebrow at him: "Baek Seung-chan, you acted really well!"

With her, a star trainee, speaking up, the others immediately chimed in.

When it came to the segment where JYP's Taeyang was listening to compliments, he seemed to enjoy it immensely.

So Jin Can clapped his hands, ready to announce some big news about "SIXTEEN".
