Peninsula: Superpowered Daily Life

Chapter 71 A Romantic Marriage

Faced with Lee Soo-man's questioning, Yoo Ji-min dared not hide anything and recounted the events that had just occurred from beginning to end.

After hearing this, Lee Soo-man frowned. It really was a coincidence. However, recalling what Zhou Wenzhe had said to her before leaving, he seemed to be deep in thought.

If a handkerchief isn't enough to make him care this much, then he must be interested in this girl.

But with his status, what kind of woman couldn't he find? Even the female celebrities in the company were just a matter of a word from him. Why would he care so much about this little trainee?

Did he have some other purpose?

It seems we should pay close attention to this trainee named Liu Zhimin.

"Alright, you can go back now."

"Yes, goodbye, teacher."

Liu Zhimin quickly left the area and returned to the practice room.

Upon seeing her return, a thin, frail-looking girl approached and asked, "Jimin unnie, where did you go?"

"I went out for some fresh air."

"Oh, what are we going to eat later?"

What would you like to eat?

"It's been so long since we've had meat, let's go get some barbecue."

"Do you have money?"

"Yes, my mom gave me living expenses."

"Okay, I still have some money."

After deciding what to have for dinner, the two immersed themselves in practice.

. . .

Zhou Wenzhe left SM Entertainment, still thinking about the mission, wondering if the girl named Liu Zhimin would call him.

If I don't contact him, am I supposed to take the initiative to go to her?

Never mind, let's wait and see. We have 90 days.

. . .

After finishing her practice, Liu Zhimin went to the restroom. After closing the door, she took out the handkerchief from her pocket and then the business card. Zhou Wenzhe's image filled her mind.

"Jimin unnie, are you in there?"

Hearing the sound outside the door, Liu Zhimin quickly put the handkerchief and business card back into her pocket and replied, "I'm here, Minzheng, wait for me a moment."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the back door."

"Um."

Ten minutes later, Yoo Jimin and Kim Minjung arrived at a barbecue restaurant near the company. This was the restaurant they often went to to satisfy their cravings; it was cheap and the meat was pretty good.

As trainees from ordinary families, their monthly allowance was only enough for two barbecues. They were so hungry that they pooled their money to eat one.

"Jimin unnie, is it true that the company canceled the debut project?" Kim Minjung asked. Rumors were circulating in the company today that the new girl group debut project had been canceled for various reasons.

"Yes, it's true." Liu Zhimin looked dejected, which was why she had been hiding in a corner crying today.

It has been more than four years since the company's last girl group, Red Velvet, debuted. The company originally planned to launch a new girl group at the end of this year or the beginning of next year, but for some reason, the project was suddenly canceled.

This was something she couldn't accept for a while, given her high expectations.

"Sigh, when will we be able to debut?" Kim Minjung also looked dejected. Although she and Yoo Jimin had only been trainees for a little over two years, they believed they already had the ability to debut.

"have no idea."

"I heard that JYP Entertainment is going to launch a new girl group early next year, I think it's a 5-member group," Kim Minjung said in a low voice.

How did you know?

"I ran into senior Yerin a couple of days ago. She told me about this and asked me when I'm going to debut."

"Oh, Twice has only been around for three years, and they're already launching a new girl group?" Yoo Jimin said with a hint of envy.

"Yeah, I originally thought the company's debut plan wouldn't change, but I didn't expect..."

"Ugh."

Liu Zhimin picked up some grilled meat and put it on Jin Minzheng's plate. Now she could only turn her grief and anger into her appetite.

In the evening, I returned to my dormitory.

Lying on the bed, Liu Zhimin held a clean handkerchief, staring blankly at it, lost in thought.

A little while later, Kim Min-jung came in after washing up. Seeing Yoo Jimin like this, she walked over curiously and asked, "Jimin unnie, where did you get this handkerchief?"

The two had lived together for over two years, and she had never seen this woman have such a handkerchief before.

"Uh... someone gave it to me."

Who is it?

"A friend."

"Boys?" Kim Minjung sat on Yoo Jimin's bed with a gossipy look on her face. Now, besides debuting, the topic she was most interested in was love.

As a trainee, she was strictly forbidden from dating by the company, but as far as she knew, quite a few people were secretly dating, and the company turned a blind eye. As long as they didn't go too far, they basically wouldn't interfere.

After all, trainees are young people with surging hormones during puberty, and there's no stopping them.

"Oh, don't ask anymore." Liu Zhimin turned her body away.

"Tell me, why did he give you a handkerchief? Is he pursuing you?"

"No, no, don't make wild guesses."

"Fine, don't tell me then."

Kim Minjung pouted, went back to her bed, stared at the ceiling, and wondered when she would finally be able to fall in love.

What does it feel like to be in love?

"Minjung, tell me, what does it feel like to like someone?" Liu Zhimin said softly. She found herself constantly thinking about Zhou Wenzhe, something that had never happened before.

"How would I know? I've never been in a relationship."

"This handkerchief was given to me by a boy, but he only used it to wipe my tears." Liu Zhimin deliberately concealed Zhou Wenzhe's identity.

"You cried?" Kim Minjung turned around and looked at the older woman.

"Yes, he saw me crying and gave me this handkerchief."

"Wow, how romantic!" Kim Minjung began to imagine the scenes from the drama, where the male and female leads met and started a sweet romance.

Liu Zhimin was speechless when she saw her younger sister's expression. How could it be romantic for Zhou Wenzhe to see her in such a disheveled state?

"And then what happened?" Kim Minjung pressed.

Nothing happened; he just gave me the handkerchief and left.

"Huh? I didn't ask for your phone number?" Kim Minjung was a little surprised. In her opinion, Yoo Jimin was not only beautiful, but also had a great figure. She was very popular with the male trainees in the company, and many boys had confessed their feelings to her.

Uh... no, that's not right.

She started to realize that since Yoo Jimin was crying at the company, the boy who gave her the handkerchief must also be from SM Entertainment.

"no."

Liu Zhimin touched the business card she had hidden under her pillow again. Although he hadn't asked for her contact information, he had left it to her.

"Is he a trainee at the company?"

"no."

"Isn't that right? Then who is he?"

"I don't know." Liu Zhimin told a little lie. Actually, she was right. Apart from his name and his position as a director, she knew nothing about Zhou Wenzhe.

"Huh?!" Kim Minjung's eyes widened. Could it be that such a romantic relationship was over just like that?

Liu Zhimin didn't say anything more; she was now torn about whether or not to call the number on the business card.

Zhou Wenzhe is a director of the company, while she is just a trainee. The difference in their status is too great.

It's better to keep this handkerchief as a beautiful memory.

Forget it, I'm not playing anymore.

After much deliberation, Liu Zhimin decided to keep the handkerchief.
