Peninsula, starting with being neighbors with Lee Kwang-soo

"Thank you for your kindness, brothers, but I'm starting school in a little over a month, and I don't have time."

Besides, given the current state of relations between the two countries, wouldn't it be asking for trouble if I went on a variety show?

When Qin Wen saw that Yoo Jae-suk had brought up the topic again, he helplessly used his studies and nationality as excuses.

"That's true!" Haha exclaimed in realization, then sighed with a hint of regret.

"What a pity, we won't get to see you and Jae-suk gang up on Kwang-soo!"

After saying that, Haha glanced at Lee Kwang-soo, who was whispering to Lee Sun-bin next to him.

"It's okay, I can't join you guys, but in variety shows, there are always things like phone calls or something."

We're free now, how about we give it a try!

"Hey, let's team up and show that idiot brother what fear really is!"

Qin Wen thought of something and made a suggestion with a mischievous grin.

"Hey...! That's a great idea!" Yoo Jae-suk's eyes lit up; he actually started to consider the possibility that Qin Wen had mentioned.

"Uh...! This guy isn't actually taking this seriously, is he?" Qin Wen muttered in disbelief as he watched Yoo Jae-suk deep in thought.

Then Kim Woo-bin came over to offer a toast, and he naturally went over to them, as he didn't want to be on camera.

And so, before we knew it, we were drinking until 1 a.m.

Although Qin Wen was drinking beer, he had drunk quite a bit that night, and his mind was a little hazy.

I originally wanted to hitch a ride home with Lee Kwang-soo, but I don't know when...

The male and female protagonists have disappeared!

"Damn it, you heartless beast who only cares about women! I can't even get a taxi now!"

"How are we going to get back? How about we open a hotel?" Qin Wen stood on the main road, swaying as he tried to think of a solution.

Suddenly, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class stopped in front of him, and the window rolled down.

"Jong-kook hyung? You haven't left yet?" Qin Wen called out in surprise when he saw Kim Jong-kook.

"It's because Brother Shi was worried you wouldn't be able to get a taxi, so he asked me to give you a ride. Anyway, I haven't been drinking!"

Kim Jong-kook explained that he didn't drink alcohol because he was working out.

"Wow, that guy is something else! He was so drunk, but he was still thinking about me!"

Qin Wen sighed sincerely, "This guy's life is really tough!"

"Yes, Jae-seok has always been like that, quietly paying attention to the people around him!" Kim Jong-kook chimed in with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Brother Chung Kwok!" Qin Wen nodded and got into the car.

"Qin Wen, where do you live?" Kim Jong-kook asked after Qin Wen got into the car.

"I live in Hanjiang Apartments, across from Kwang-soo," Qin Wen said, stating his address.

"Oh...!" Kim Jong-kook looked at Qin Wen in surprise.

"Qin Wen, it seems you're not short of money. Hanjiang Apartments aren't cheap."

"Uh...it's alright!" Qin Wen nodded awkwardly. God knows how embarrassed he felt every time he answered this question.

"Damn it, that idiot beast! Every time I think about how he took out a 500 million yuan loan for a house without my consent, my liver hurts!"

Qin Wen cursed inwardly.

"Qin Wen, thank you so much for tonight. You covered for me; I really don't know how to create a good effect on my own!"

Bored on the bus, Kim Jong-kook remembered that Qin Wen had kindly taken him along that evening and thanked him.

"Hey, it's nothing. Chung Kwok, you took me home, so you've repaid the favor!" Qin Wen waved his hand.

"Haha, okay, Qin Wen, what do you usually like to do?" Kim Jong-kook smiled and started looking for a topic.

"I like playing basketball, video games, boxing, shooting, and stuff like that!" Qin Wen said casually.

"Oh...! It seems you like sports too, Qin Wen," Kim Jong-kook said, even more pleased to hear about Qin Wen's hobby.

He doesn't smoke, drink, or chase women (although he got married in 2026, it's currently 2016).

My only hobby is all kinds of sports.

The next half hour felt incredibly long!

Qin Wen listened silently as Kim Jong-kook explained various sports to him.

He also suggested that when he had time, Qin Wen should go to his gym so he could help him train properly.

Qin Wen's legs trembled as he listened, and he could only nod awkwardly from time to time, hoping that time would pass quickly.

After enduring another 15 minutes of nagging, Qin Wen finally arrived.

"Thank you, Jong Kwok-hyung. I'll treat you to dinner sometime; I'll cook it myself, and I promise you won't be disappointed!"

After Qin Wen got out of the car, he thanked Kim Jong-kook.

"No need to rush eating, exercise is the main thing. Qin Wen, when are you free to come over?"

"How about tomorrow, I'll definitely design a good set of exercises for you!" Kim Jong-kook ignored the issue of food; his attention was always on exercise.

"Uh...!" Seeing Kim Jong-kook looking at him expectantly, Qin Wen quickly tried to find an excuse.

"Sorry, Jongkook hyung, I've been so busy lately because YG's new girl group is debuting."

Besides, after finishing my debut, I still need to prepare for my school enrollment. How about I contact you when I have some free time?

"Oh... I see!" Kim Jong-kook nodded dejectedly, as if he had lost a toy, and then left.

"Phew," Qin Wen breathed a sigh of relief as the car drove away, thinking to himself,

"This guy gets really into it when he talks about sports, like he's on steroids!" Qin Wen muttered to himself as he walked home.

The next day, Qin Wen overslept.

"I'd heard before that Korean soju causes terrible headaches, and now he knows for sure."

"Damn it, I only had four drinks, the rest were all beer, why does it hurt so much!"

Qin Wen struggled to get up, then quickly washed up and took a taxi to the company.

Upon arriving at the workshop, Qin Wen slumped onto the table, drifting off to sleep once again.

Qin Wen groggily opened his eyes and answered the phone when it rang.

"I'm so reluctant to part with it!"

"Producer Qin, could you please come to the practice room? I have a question I'd like to ask you!"

On the other end of the phone, Jin Zhiyong respectfully asked for instructions.

"Okay! I'm coming right away!" Qin Wen had no choice but to force himself to stay alert and head to the practice room.

In the practice room, everyone was waiting for Qin Wen when suddenly the door was pushed open, and Qin Wen walked in, reeking of alcohol.

"Ugh, the smell of alcohol is so strong! Qin Oppa, have you been drinking?" Park Chaeyoung, who was closest to her, quickly covered her nose.

Qin Wen apologized to everyone in a hoarse voice, "Miya, everyone, I drank too much last night."

I overslept today and came straight here without taking a shower!

"Qin Oppa, why is your voice hoarse?" Park Chaeyoung asked.

"She got a hangover because of you!" Jennie whispered teasingly in Jisoo's ear.

Jisoo was so embarrassed that she pinched Jennie.

Then, looking at Qin Wen's red eyes, he felt a mix of emotions.

"Hmph, regretting it now? Going out for a hangover, you really don't take care of your health!"

Kim Jisoo wanted to go forward and show concern, but she didn't have any right to do so, so she could only stand there in a dilemma, silently feeling sorry for him.

Clearly, this is how the misunderstanding arose; Jennie's teasing made Jisoo overthink things.

"Qin Oppa, you don't seem to have drunk too much, you seem to have caught a cold, your voice sounds like this!"

Park Chaeyoung glanced at Kim Jisoo behind her and tentatively asked.

"Maybe, but you should tell me what's going on first!" Qin Wen replied perfunctorily, then asked what it was about.
