Peninsula: It all started with the breakup

Chapter 24 Promotion

Mina felt like she had been seen through, and somewhat embarrassedly covered her face with a piece of paper. Xie Mingmu naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass, faithfully recording her shy appearance.

"That's right!"

"Mina must have drawn the homeroom teacher's lot."

"It seems Sana is our homeroom teacher today."

After exchanging papers, all eight of them simultaneously opened their slips of paper. "Hey~~ what's going on? Mina, Sana, you two." The person who actually drew the homeroom teacher's slip was a little incredulous.

Mina was also a little confused. She had clearly drawn the homeroom teacher's name, so why were they so surprised? She turned around and looked at them. At that moment, Kim Dahyun also saw the words on Mina's paper: "Mina unnie, read this."

"One-day Bang Director".

"Aniya."

Xie Mingmu knew she had misunderstood when he heard Mina's pronunciation, but that was also what attracted Xie Mingmu to Mina. Her cool demeanor was tinged with a hint of naivety, and this contrast made Xie Mingmu unable to resist her charm.

"Sana, what about you?"

"I am a teacher for one day."

It turns out that Kim Da-hyun was the one who drew the homeroom teacher. At this point, the others started to laugh at the two idiots. There was no malice in it; it was just teasing between acquaintances, like close friends who would tease you in a game if they didn't do something really annoying.

"These two thought they were the homeroom teacher, which is why they switched places."

Mina and Sana Minato finally realized what was happening, patted each other on the shoulder, and burst into laughter, falling back into their seats. Xie Mingmu couldn't keep up with them.

Mina had just sat up straight when she saw Xie Mingmu's upturned lips and felt a little resentful. So she stretched out her little foot and secretly stepped on it. Seeing Xie Mingmu gasp in surprise, Mina playfully turned her head and joined in their laughter.

"You, Mina, they were the ones laughing at you, so why am I the one who's getting into this mess?" Xie Mingmu said helplessly. He hadn't expected that he, who was just watching the fun, would get caught up in it. It seemed that filming a variety show for Mina did have some risks.

"Am I the homeroom teacher for today?" Kim Da-hyun picked up a large whiteboard. "As your homeroom teacher, let me explain Kim's schedule. Starting today, we'll be on a two-day, three-night school trip. Today's schedule: First, we'll go to the maze park to play an escape game. Wow~~~"

Kim Da-hyun tried hard to appear surprised, which is a common performance technique in variety shows. Only exaggerated shots are retained. In "Invincible Youth," Park Hyo-min was called a "commoner" because her expressions were not exaggerated enough and she was not memorable.

After a while, the others realized what was happening and responded to Kim Da-hyun, preventing her from falling into an awkward situation.

"Next, we'll go eat delicious Jeju Island black pork, and finally, we'll showcase Twice's special talents."

At this point in the filming, the beer-bellied woman called a halt to the production, giving them some time to rest and eat.

The food was very simple. Lunch was eaten in the car. It was seaweed rice rolls, which, as the name suggests, consisted of seaweed and rice with some pickled vegetables. Fortunately, it was free, so Xie Mingmu didn't complain too much.

After finishing his meal and resting for less than ten minutes, the beer-bellied man signaled for the variety show to resume filming. He got his PD position through his own abilities; although he's a huge fan of Lim Na-yeon and noticed her fatigue, he still chose to continue filming. So he's not a mindless fanatic; he's a sensible person.

"Do you know what kind of magical road Jeju Island has?" Son Chaeyoung started looking for topics, finally realizing she needed to get some screen time. It wasn't that the photographer wasn't giving her a chance, but first you have to speak up.

"Oh, I really want to go there."

"It looks like an uphill road there, and when you get there, it visually appears to be an uphill road, but it's actually an optical illusion." Son Chae-young finally found a place that interested her, but the beer-bellied man next to her didn't quite agree and started to get a little bored.

Seeing that the topic was getting a bit boring, Kim Da-hyun quickly changed the subject. At this point, the PD hadn't prepared any questions, so it was all up to the individual members of Twice to improvise, keeping the interesting ones and cutting the uninteresting ones: "Classmates, what's the thing you most want to do when you come to Jeju Island? Raise your hand to answer!"

"Me! I have two things to say, one of which I've already done." Lim Nayeon, true to her reputation as a cheerleader, immediately raised her hand to speak, like a child just starting school: "Walking through a particularly spacious green tea field."

Although Xie Mingmu was filming Lin Nayeon, his gaze remained fixed on Ming Jingnan. Her eyes were already half-closed, and she was dozing off. She then woke up with a start, looked around, and cautiously checked to make sure no one had noticed her dozing off. She then carefully yawned, thinking she had gotten away with it perfectly, but Xie Mingmu had seen everything. Unfortunately, he didn't have a third hand and couldn't record the scene with his phone.

"There's also a really fun pirate ship there..."

Next, they talked about some fun places in Jeju Island. When the beer belly realized they had run out of things to talk about, he finally stopped filming and instructed each group to check the equipment, such as changing batteries and watching the footage.

Xie Mingmu originally wanted to find some topics to chat about with Mina, but seeing that she looked like she was about to die, he gave up the idea and began to stare out the car window, letting his mind wander.

While checking the footage, the beer-bellied cameraman said, "Hmm, the shots taken by newcomer Xie Mingmu are very stable, not much shaking." The other cameramen looked incredulous: "Is he really that good? PD, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"

"Come and take a look at the footage he filmed." The beer-bellied man handed the camera to the man who had been skeptical, and continued:

"One should be humble. The world is vast, and there are countless talented people."

After thinking for a moment, the beer-bellied man, who was familiar with the company's filming plans, muttered to himself, "Let's see how it goes after the group variety show is filmed. If it's really good, I'll submit a report to the company and ask them to keep him."

Despite his beer belly, he is very respectful of talent. Although he is a bit sleazy and likes to secretly copy Lin Na-yeon's footage to watch at home, and he is also showing signs of balding, he is only in his mid-thirties.

"That's good too. With him joining our team, we can save a lot of trouble."

Someone responded to the beer belly, saying that firstly, they wouldn't have to pay his salary, and Xie Mingmu's arrival would really help reduce a lot of the workload; secondly, the team generally had a good impression of Xie Mingmu.

Because Xie Mingmu was very proactive in filming and never complained about being tired, just like just now, he was holding up the camera and filming the whole time, which allowed the others to enjoy the air conditioning while watching Twice talk. How could they not like such an "honest person"?

Of course, if they knew that Xie Mingmu did this entirely to openly watch Mina, they wouldn't think that way.

The beer-bellied man walked up to Xie Mingmu and patted him on the shoulder: "You did a great job. I've decided to remove your assistant as the photographer's assistant!"

Then, the beer-bellied man looked at Xie Mingmu with anticipation.
