Peninsula: Starting with forming a group with the nation's little sister

Chapter 12 I NEED YOU [Please continue reading]

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

Lin Yuan took out his phone and answered the call.

"Good afternoon, Mom."

Hearing his playful tone, Kim Mi-ran was overjoyed. "Have you eaten lunch yet, my good girl?"

"..."

Lin Yuan glanced around subconsciously and said helplessly, "Mom, I'm all grown up now, please call me something else."

As expected of the mother who loves the original owner the most, she has called him "good boy" for 23 years without fail. But why does he feel inexplicably ashamed now?

Perhaps this is the trouble of growing up, desperately trying to erase the dark history of childhood.

"You brat, are you embarrassed? In my eyes, you'll always be a child," Jin Meilan said, feigning anger.

Lin Yuan felt a sudden toothache. Why did his mother seem so carefree and absent-minded, unlike his mature and steady father?

"Mom~"

Jin Meilan felt goosebumps all over. "Alright, alright, when are you going on this blind date? You've already stood this girl up once, it's a bit impolite to stand her up again, isn't it?"

Lin Yuan only remembered after his mother reminded him that he still had a blind date, and his information was in his email, but he had been too busy to look at it lately.

He wasn't the original owner of this body, so he didn't see anything wrong with going on blind dates with his idol. As long as it wasn't one of those toxic people from YG Entertainment or someone who wasn't clean himself, it was fine. If they didn't click, they could just be friends and see how it went.

"I understand, I'll contact her later."

Seeing that he was sensible, Jin Meilan didn't say anything more, just told him not to forget and then hung up the phone.

As he entered the company, Li Huizhen waved to him with a smile, and Lin Yuan quickened his pace to walk over.

"Is Noona so happy today?"

Li Huizhen said with a smile, "Of course I'm happy! We'll be colleagues from now on, and I'll see you often."

Again!

Lin Yuan didn't know if she just talked like that or if she had some ulterior motive towards him, but he felt there was something fishy about her.

However, it must be said that those who can act as "green tea" are generally good-looking, and Li Huizhen happens to be one of them.

She wore a black office lady suit, the hem of which stopped just at her knees, revealing a pair of slender, smooth calves and small feet encased in flesh-colored stockings, with the veins on the instep clearly visible. She also wore a pair of black high heels with red soles peeking out from the side, exuding allure.

Her small, delicate oval face was fair and flawless. The beauty mark at the corner of her eye was perfectly placed, adding a unique charm. The most stunning feature was her pale pink lips, which shimmered under the light, making one want to take a bite.

To date, Li Huizhen is the woman she has met who comes closest to "Emperor Ruyan".

"Haha, it's an honor to be praised by Nuna. I wonder if Nuna can grant me a favor?" Lin Yuan leaned forward, his eyes seemingly able to see through people's hearts.

Li Huizhen subconsciously took two steps back, her voice trembling, "You...you tell me."

"Could Noona please not have a boyfriend?"

"Why...why?"

Lin Yuan took two steps back, placed his right hand on his chest, and said in a feigned sadness, "Because I'll be sad."

"I've met a master!" Li Huizhen thought to herself.

"Damn it, he's acting up again. A leopard can't change its spots," Lee Ji-eun muttered under her breath.

She grabbed Lin Yuan by the ear and pulled him toward the elevator.

"Bang!"

Inside the practice room, Lin Yuan crouched in a corner, his hands covering his head, looking at Lee Ji-eun with fear.

Damn it, can someone tell me why there are pointers in the practice room?

"Snapped!"

Lin Yuan trembled.

"You seemed to be having a good time chatting with her. Tell me so I can have a laugh." Li Zhi'en looked at Lin Yuan with a forced smile, a slight curve appearing at the corner of her mouth, which she quickly hid. "You dare to flirt with girls right in front of me? You probably don't know what I, Li Zhi'en, can do."

Lin Yuan reached out to push away the leather whip in front of him.

"Um?"

It slowly moved back.

"I...I..."

What do you mean? Say she's a green tea b*tch? Does Lee Ji-eun believe that?

But not saying anything wasn't an option. Lee Ji-eun's whip was no joke, and it wasn't nighttime, so there was no possibility of flirting.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he released his hands and stood up.

"Ahem~"

"Little Enen, is that what you think of me? Besides, this is at the company. Even if I'm really horny, I wouldn't choose this time, would I?"

Lee Ji-eun paused for a moment, pondering his words repeatedly, and slowly lowered the pointer she had raised.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan stepped forward, put his arm around her shoulder, pulled her to sit on the sofa, and took the weapon from her. He said with a smile, "Besides, with a beauty like you by my side, why would I be interested in her? Don't you think so?"

Lee Ji-eun nodded subconsciously. "Yeah, there aren't many women like me who are rich, beautiful, and have a great figure. You should be grateful you know me, hmph!"

Lin Yuan pursed his lips tightly, afraid that he might burst out laughing.

He acknowledges that she is wealthy, after all, she has consistently topped the list of "Korea's highest-earning celebrities" for many years, easily making billions of won a year. In 2024 alone, Lee Ji-eun earned more than 300 billion won, making her a true rich woman.

As for looks, it all comes down to personal preference. She's the cute little sister type, otherwise she wouldn't be called the "Nation's Little Sister." But Lin Yuan does have a bit of a crush on her, since he's also one of Lee Ji-eun's fans.

As for her figure... well, let's not even talk about it. She's only slightly better than that Blue Dragon Film Award winner in some aspects, but not by much.

"You're right, senior. You are the most beautiful woman in all of Korea, saranghae~" She even made a heart shape with her hands above her head as she said this.

Lee Ji-eun shook off his hand and snorted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm taking you to your vocal lesson. Teacher Park Young-cheol is already waiting."

"loyalty!"

On the 7th floor, in the recording studio, Lee Ji-eun led Lin Yuan inside.

"Teacher, I've brought Lin Yuan with me."

Lin Yuan also called out, "Teacher-nim."

Park Young-cheol nodded as a greeting, "Sit down, Ji-eun, you come with me too."

"Inside.

Lee Ji-eun nodded in reply.

Park Young-cheol thought for a moment and realized that Lin Yuan's voice was only of average to above-average quality. If it were an ordinary person, he wouldn't even bother to look at them.

But he's got a knack for it. While others rely on technique to sing, Lin Yuan relies on rapport. He becomes friends with the audience as he sings, just like on the day of the audition, when his rendition of "Ladies and Gentlemen" completely won over everyone.

So what he needs now is not some advanced technique, but simply to help him use his voice skillfully so that he can evoke the audience's anticipation within three lines. That would be a success.

"Lin Yuan, do you have any favorite Korean songs? Sing one for me."

A song instantly popped into Lin Yuan's mind: Ailee's "I Need You," which he considered one of the best Korean love songs.

"Yes, I need to familiarize myself with it first."

He turned around, took out his phone, and checked if the song had been released.

Two minutes later, Lin Yuan turned off his phone and picked up an electric guitar from the wall.

"Teacher, this is my original work, it's called 'I NEED You'."

Upon hearing that it was an original work, Park Young-cheol immediately became interested and sat up straight, eagerly anticipating his performance.

Lee Ji-eun was equally curious, because she didn't know that Lin Yuan could write songs, so she secretly took out her phone and started recording.
