Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord

Four days passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Fan had already worked for two days. The novelty of working abroad had almost worn off by the first morning of his new job.

It felt no different from what I'd seen back home, except there were a few more foreigners, but the work processes were exactly the same. Realizing this, Ye Fan's smile gradually faded over time.

"Ye Fan, how about we go out for a drink tonight?"

As it was nearing the end of the workday, Wu Yingying followed a Korean female colleague to Ye Fan's workstation and invited him to go out and have some fun that night.

"No, I have some things to do tonight." Ye Fan shook his head and declined. The night before he went to work, Wu Yingying had invited him out for a small gathering, saying that since he had just started working, she wanted to introduce him to his colleagues and let him experience Korean night culture.

Then Ye Fan almost lost half his life!

I went out for dinner and drinks around 7 pm, then went to a bar for drinks around 9 pm, went to a karaoke bar for singing and drinking around midnight, went to some food stalls around 3 pm, and didn't get home until 4 pm. Then I got up at 8 am to go to work.

Then Wu Yingying also told him that because he was a newcomer, he was given some rest time, otherwise he could have rested until dawn.

Ye Fan finally understood why South Korea loves drinking coffee so much.

This is truly amazing!

Anyway, Ye Fan couldn't stand that kind of life, so he immediately refused after hearing the invitation.

What brings you tonight?

"Are you going on a date with your girlfriend?" Wu Yingying leaned on the table, looking at Ye Fan with a playful expression and a hint of probing in her tone.

"No, I'm still single, it's been over three years." Ye Fan shook his head and answered truthfully, without making up any other stories.

"Oh~"

Wu Yingying and her colleague, Kim Eun-soo, exchanged a knowing smile.

Ye Fan was newly transferred here. He was young, tall, and handsome, which made him very attractive to the single female colleagues in the organization.

"If that's the case, shouldn't you go out and socialize even more? You'll find a girlfriend if you go out more."

"Let's forget about that. I don't have any plans to find a girlfriend right now."

"Um?"

Why?

The two women were puzzled. Ye Fan was in his early twenties, wasn't that the age for playing around and finding girlfriends?

"Emm... how should I put it..."

"It's just that I don't have much energy to devote to relationships right now, and I don't know how to get along with people." Ye Fan thought for a moment, and then gave a general template for refusing.

But these were his true feelings, not something he was just saying to fool the two of them.

There are three great illusions in life: I can get a solo kill, I can show off, and she likes me!

Although the two women inquired about his relationship status, Ye Fan did not presume to have a third, and most ridiculous, misconception.

It was time to leave work, so Ye Fan picked up his phone, said goodbye to the two of them, and said, "I'm leaving now. Have fun."

After saying that, he turned and left without pausing, as if he had made up his mind.

"He looks really good when he smiles, and he doesn't have a girlfriend. Unnie, don't try to steal him from me!" Kim Eun-soo nudged Wu Yingying's arm, her eyes still fixed on Ye Fan's departing figure.

"What? Let's compete fairly, okay?" Wu Yingying retorted.

How could she possibly let go of such a handsome young man? Although they hadn't known each other for long, she had a general understanding of Ye Fan's situation.

He's a guy I like, and he hasn't had a girlfriend in so long. He doesn't post anything random on social media, so he seems like the independent type who doesn't mess around. How could I possibly let him go?!

Ye Fan shivered, feeling uneasy. He felt as if several pairs of eyes were watching him from behind, which was a little creepy!

That's strange. Could it be that I'm not used to the new environment?

Or have they been targeted by something dirty?

Should we ask someone to give us a good talking to?

I pondered for a moment, stroking my chin, but ultimately dismissed the idea. Maybe I was overthinking it. I should just hurry home and prepare for the live stream.

After receiving advice from fans last time, he went online that night and bought a microphone and a new mobile phone. The delivery arrived today, and he plans to try it out tonight.

On my way home, I bought some ingredients at the supermarket, planning to cook for myself.

After eating Korean food and kimchi for several days, my mouth felt a bit sour and dry, so I finally decided to cook something for myself.

After taking the package home and unpacking it, Ye Fan set up all the equipment. He glanced at the balcony, wondering if the soundproofing was good enough. By the time he finished eating and taking a shower, it would probably be around 8 o'clock.

If the soundproofing isn't good, it would be awkward if it disturbed the neighbors.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Fan took out his phone, opened Kakao, found Bae Joo-hyun's (the landlord's) contact information, and sent their first conversation on the social media app.

"Is the soundproofing in your house okay?"

On the other end of the phone, Bae Joo-hyun was lying in bed watching TV. Rest time is for recuperation, so she hadn't gone anywhere in the past few days and was quite happy to have some free time, as long as her parents didn't ask about her boyfriend.

I made up a boyfriend who doesn't exist, but things don't seem to have improved. My parents are asking more questions, and even my younger sister knows about it. She messaged me yesterday to ask if it's true.

Seulgi's idea was definitely a terrible one...

The phone on the coffee table vibrated, and the screen lit up, showing that a new message had been sent.

Moving to the edge of the sofa, Bae Joo-hyun reached for her phone. She thought it was another message from her parents, but when she opened it, she found it was from her tenant.

Bae Joo-hyun sat up slightly. This tenant hadn't sent her a single message or asked her any questions in the past few days. If he were smart, he should already know her identity.

Isn't he a fan of Jisoo?

If you're a fan, knowing who I am might make you ask for help, like getting Jisoo's autograph or something, but I haven't received a single message in the past few days, which is quite surprising.

However, this did improve Ye Fan's impression on Bae Joo-hyun even more.

After reading the message, Bae Joo-hyun frowned. Why ask about soundproofing?

Recalling Kang Seulgi's words, "Young and vigorous," Bae Joohyun pursed her lips, "Could it be...?"

It would have been better not to ask, as asking did lower her impression score a bit. Bae Joo-hyun typed back: "The soundproofing is okay. As long as you don't play too wildly, there shouldn't be any problems. You'll have to buy your own furniture if it breaks."

Ye Fan: "Hmm?"

What does it mean to buy your own furniture when it breaks?

He only asked about the soundproofing, why did he bring up the furniture?

What did she think she was going to do?

After thinking for a moment, Ye Fan realized that there was a problem with his expression, so he edited a more accurate message and sent it over.

Of course, the fact that the landlord started driving as soon as I asked about soundproofing shows that she's not a simple person either.
