Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord

Chapter 2: It really was him!

Does Irene refer to herself?

Bae Joo-hyun frowned slightly. She wasn't the only one with the stage name Irene, so she didn't immediately assume it was her.

Why is Jisoo involved?

Kang Seulgi pursed her lips, looking at her sister's confused and stunned expression, wanting to laugh but feeling a little embarrassed.

They had learned some Chinese, though not at a high level, but they knew common phrases like "you," "I," and "good-looking."

So what I just said was that Jisoo is prettier than Irene.

As for what "Erdoron" meant... Kang Seulgi didn't quite understand. There are many homophones in Chinese, so she couldn't make a judgment. But the boy's tone of voice did seem quite interesting to her.

"What are you laughing at?"

Bae Joo-hyun glanced at her younger sister.

"Unnie, that guy seems to be talking about you, but he sounds like he's probably a fan of Jisoo?" Seeing that she had been caught, Kang Seulgi stopped pretending.

"So what if it is?" Bae Joo-hyun didn't care. Jisoo was indeed very beautiful, and everyone has their own aesthetic sense. She wouldn't hold it against her.

"Unnie, why don't you turn around and ask him directly, 'Isn't Irene pretty?'" Kang Seulgi, always eager for drama, pointed at the back of Ye Fan's head.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bae Joo-hyun glared at her sister who was giving her random advice. This wasn't a variety show, and it would be awkward to talk to people like that.

"Eat your barbecue, all you do is give me nonsense ideas every day."

Ye Fan was unaware that one of the main characters he had just been talking about was right behind him and had overheard him. He hung up the video call, sighed helplessly, and realized there was really nothing he could do with this younger sister.

After eating and drinking his fill, Ye Fan got up and left.

Kang Seulgi glanced at him, and after seeing Ye Fan's appearance, she winked at Bae Joo-hyun, "Unnie, he's pretty handsome."

Bae Joo-hyun saw it too, and nodded slightly. He really was quite handsome.

Her phone vibrated. Bae Joo-hyun picked it up and glanced at it. It was a message from someone asking if she was free these few days and if she could look at the apartment.

After thinking for a moment, Bae Joo-hyun typed a reply, telling the other party that it would be fine tomorrow, and the time was set for noon.

Having resolved one issue, Bae Joo-hyun felt much better.

Ye Fan was in a good mood. He had just found a nice apartment, a two-bedroom, one-living room unit. He had arranged to see the apartment with the landlord tomorrow, and if it was good, he would book it and move in.

The only downside is that two-bedroom apartments are a bit more expensive. If my sister hadn't said she was coming to visit for a while next month, he would have preferred to rent a single room.

The next day at noon, Ye Fan arrived at the address given by the landlord. It wasn't far from his workplace, about 4 kilometers away, and the community was quite new.

I sent a message to the landlord, telling him that I had arrived at the entrance of the community and asking him to come and pick me up.

Ye Fan took out his phone and scrolled through some videos, wondering if he should learn from other bloggers who live abroad and make some kind of lifestyle vlogs, when a question came from beside him.

"Hello?"

"Are you looking to rent a place?"

Ye Fan tapped the screen to pause the video. He turned around in surprise and was greeted by a pleasant female voice.

He contacted the other person via text message yesterday, and he thought the other person was a man.

Turning around, Ye Fan's gaze shifted slightly downwards, and he saw the petite landlady wearing a mask, making it impossible to see her face or judge her age, but her eyes were quite beautiful.

While Ye Fan was surprised, Bae Joo-hyun was also somewhat astonished. She frowned slightly. Wasn't this the boy who sat behind them last night?

The tenant was him!

This... is truly a coincidence.

"Hello." Ye Fan, unaware of Bae Joo-hyun's thoughts, nodded and greeted her.

"Hello, please follow me." Bae Joo-hyun turned to the side and gestured for him to come.

Following the landlord into the residential area, Ye Fan, not being a social butterfly, silently followed without trying to start a conversation.

Bae Joo-hyun was similar; she was shy, and this was her first formal meeting with Ye Fan, so she didn't know what to talk about.

Arriving at the house in the silence, Bae Joo-hyun entered the password and opened the door. "This is it."

Ye Fan nodded and stepped into the room. He walked around and found that the space and lighting were quite good.

"Can we sign the contract now?"

"Are you sure?" Bae Joo-hyun was a little surprised. She was sure after just one walk around?

That's so refreshing!

"The house is very nice, there's no need to look at any others," Ye Fan said with a smile. He was already preparing to go back to work, so if it was suitable, he would just settle on it.

That's how most men buy things; once they see something they like, they just pay and place the order.

Bae Joo-hyun didn't expect Ye Fan to be so quick. She hadn't prepared any contracts or anything like that, so she asked him to wait in the living room while she went to prepare the contracts.

Sitting on the sofa, Ye Fan surveyed the living room, planning how to use the space. He stared at the corner near the balcony, where it was wider and he could place his computer desk.

Once everything is arranged, he also wants to try live streaming to see if he can earn some extra money.

That's just how things are now. If you don't have a solid financial foundation, you can only make a living with one job. If you want to pursue your dreams and enrich your life, you'll have to find a side job.

Half an hour later, Bae Joo-hyun returned to the room and handed the contract to Ye Fan.

After a quick look, Ye Fan signed his name and agreed to rent it for a year.

"Ye Fan?"

As expected of a Chinese person.

After Ye Fan signed, Bae Joo-hyun also signed her real name, making two copies. Then they added each other on Kakao, and she told Ye Fan what the password was and how to change it. Afterwards, she took Ye Fan to the property management office.

On the way, the two chatted casually, and Bae Joo-hyun learned that Ye Fan had come here to work as a Chinese teacher and was very young, seven years younger than her.

This... left Bae Joo-hyun, who was already in her early thirties, with a touch of sadness.

After finishing everything, Bae Joo-hyun said goodbye, and Ye Fan returned to the hotel, moved his luggage to his rented room, and went out to buy a computer and a computer desk.

After a whole afternoon of fussing, it was already 7 p.m. when everything was finally set up. Feeling sticky and uncomfortable, Ye Fan took a shower and sat down on the sofa. He saw the contract on the coffee table and was about to put it away when he noticed the name on it.

"Bae Joo-hyun?"

Ye Fan frowned slightly, feeling that the name sounded somewhat familiar.

and many more!

He picked up his phone and searched for Bae Joo-hyun's name online. Looking at the information and photos on the screen, his eyes widened. Wasn't this Irene, the one his younger sister had asked him about yesterday who was pretty?

Holy crap!

The other person was wearing a mask the whole time, so he didn't recognize them immediately.

158...

Ye Fan recalled the landlord's height today and felt it was about right. He then searched for a photo of the landlord wearing a mask and compared it.

Okay, it matches up, it really is her!

I was just talking about him yesterday, and I never expected to run into him today, and he even became my landlord. Damn it, Seoul is too small!

Fortunately, she didn't hear what I said yesterday, otherwise it would have been very awkward.

In a residential complex two or three kilometers away, in Bae Joo-hyun's new apartment, Kang Seul-gi stared wide-eyed at her older sister with surprise, "That guy who said Jisoo was prettier than you yesterday is now your tenant?"
