Peninsula: Superpowered Daily Life

Chapter 45 finally found the reason.

Zhou Wenzhe carried the sleeping Sun Shengwan and Kim Yerin back to the bedroom, and arranged for the still slightly awake Park Sooyoung and Kang Seulgi to share a bedroom.

After settling the four people in, he walked back to the living room, looked at Bae Joo-hyun who was cleaning up the mess, and said, "Joo-hyun-ssi, you should go and rest too. Leave this to me."

"It's okay, I'll take care of it."

Seeing this, Zhou Wenzhe stopped talking and went forward to help tidy up.

After tidying up, he was about to return to his room when Bae Joo-hyun said, "Mooncheol-ssi, I want to talk to you."

Zhou Wenzhe turned to look at Bae Joo-hyun and nodded: "Okay."

He had a feeling that the reason why she had such a big problem with him should soon become clear.

The two then sat facing each other at the dining table, with a freshly brewed coffee in front of them.

You need to keep a clear head to talk things over.

"Joohyun-ssi, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I want to talk to you about Seungwan." Bae Joo-hyun placed her hand on her coffee cup, but instead of drinking from it, she kept turning the cup around.

From a psychological perspective, this could be a state of tension and anxiety, or simply a matter of maintaining social distance.

"Shengwan? What happened to her?"

"It's not her, it's all of you."

"Huh? What happened to us?"

What are you thinking?

"What do you mean by 'what I think'? Explain yourself clearly."

"You and she have already gone through that, don't you want to give her a clear title?" Bae Joo-hyun stared directly at Zhou Wenzhe, her eyes gradually becoming sharp. Was this man pretending to be confused?

"Huh?! What happened? What's the status?" Zhou Wenzhe was full of questions. Did they really have to commit to each other after just a few kisses?

The two aren't even dating yet, so it's unlikely they'll jump straight into a relationship.

"You!" Bae Joo-hyun was even angrier than she expected that Zhou Wenzhe would actually deny it. Her hand holding the coffee cup trembled, causing the cup to make a slight sound as it hit the table.

At the same time, Zhou Wenzhe also received a system notification that his intimacy level with Bae Joo-hyun had dropped a little, down to 8 points.

It's gone down.

Is it because of Son Seung-wan that she dislikes and hates me?

This. . .

Could it be...?

No way.

Zhou Wenzhe guessed a possibility and looked at the woman in front of him with some disbelief.

So beautiful, yet... her sexual orientation is abnormal.

What a pity.

That's a bit of a waste.

However, it cannot be confirmed at this time that this is the reason, and further proof is needed.

"Joohyun-ssi, my relationship with Seungwan is none of your business. You're just her teammate, why are you interfering in her love life?"

Faced with Zhou Wenzhe's persistent questioning, Bae Joo-hyun opened her mouth but couldn't give a reasonable explanation.

Indeed, this is Son Seung-wan's personal emotional matter, and she herself has no objection. She is willing to make sacrifices for Zhou Wenzhe, so why should I, an outsider, interfere?

However, she couldn't just watch Son Seung-wan have her feelings toyed with by this man. No matter what, she had to separate the two of them.

"You've known each other since childhood, do you think what you're doing now is appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it? We're all adults, it's normal for something like this to happen." Although Zhou Wenzhe didn't know what Bae Joo-hyun knew, judging from her tone and questions, it didn't seem like a kiss, but rather like a more intimate relationship.

However, he and Son Seungwan only kissed a few times, and it was a very simple kiss, without even touching tongues. How come Bae Joo-hyun thought that the two of them had become that kind of relationship?

Could it be that Son Seung-wan said it?

Probably not. She's not the type to lie, especially not about something like this.

That means Bae Joo-hyun misunderstood.

This misunderstanding likely stems from the time Son Seung-wan got drunk and stayed overnight here, then returned to the dorm the next day wearing his clothes.

"How can you be so shameless?" Bae Joo-hyun pointed at Zhou Wenzhe, her emotions running high.

"Hey, I advise you to think carefully before you speak. Don't think that just because you're a woman you can be unreasonable. Did I force her? This was her own choice, what's it to you?"

"You...you..."

At this moment, the system notified him that his intimacy level with Bae Joo-hyun had dropped by two points.

Great, only six o'clock left to finish the task!

Zhou Wenzhe was secretly pleased, which meant that his guess was basically correct.

Whether it's the deep sisterly bond between the two or her abnormal sexual orientation, the underlying cause is related to Son Seung-wan.

He had expected to have a rival in love, but he never imagined that his rival would be a woman, and a very beautiful one at that.

Well, how should I put it?

I'm speechless.

"What? I think you're just jealous. Could it be... that you have feelings for Seungwan? You don't actually like her, do you?" Zhou Wenzhe deliberately looked Bae Joo-hyun up and down with a strange gaze.

These words made Bae Joo-hyun's expression visibly start to panic.

This was her biggest secret, and she couldn't let anyone know it.

"You're lying, I didn't!"

"Whether it's true or not, you know it in your heart. If Seungwan finds out about this, I wonder what she'll think." Zhou Wenzhe revealed a sly smile.

Actually, he really wanted to know what Son Seungwan would think if she knew that Bae Joo-hyun actually had those kinds of feelings for her.

However, it's hard to say whether Son Seung-wan would mind. What if she also has this orientation, but just hadn't noticed before?

"Hey, you dare say that!" Bae Joo-hyun stood up abruptly, looking like she wanted to come up and beat him up.

"Why wouldn't I dare? I'll tell her when she wakes up tomorrow." Zhou Wenzhe looked at Pei Zhuxuan with amusement. With such a small frame, she actually dared to act tough with him. She wouldn't even be able to withstand a single finger from him.

Bae Joo-hyun knew, of course, that she was no match for Zhou Wenzhe, but she couldn't let anyone else know about it, otherwise how could she face them in the future?

Then, she went limp, as if all her strength had been drained, and slumped into the chair. "Don't tell her."

"So you're admitting it?"

"What will it take for you to keep this a secret?"

"Why should I keep this a secret for you? I'm not only going to tell Seungwan, I'm going to tell the paparazzi too. You guys have a lot of CP fans, right? I think they'll be very happy to know this news." Zhou Wenzhe deliberately provoked Bae Joo-hyun.

To his surprise, Bae Joo-hyun didn't show any anger. Instead, she looked at him with disdain and contempt.

She wasn't afraid of the paparazzi at all. There was no evidence for this kind of thing; it was just something to talk about over tea. Just as he said, fans might actually prefer to see this situation, and it wouldn't have any impact on Red Velvet at all.

She was worried that Son Seungwan would deliberately distance herself from her after finding out, which would have a serious impact on Red Velvet.

However, she didn't know how to get Zhou Wenzhe to keep it a secret, and she figured he probably wouldn't keep it a secret anyway.

There's no other way.

Then, Bae Joo-hyun stood up again, placed her hands on the buttons of her shirt, and slowly unbuttoned them one by one, revealing a hint of her cleavage.

Zhou Wenzhe was taken aback by her action.

No way.

Are we going to use a honey trap?

Haha, he's not buying it.

However, this reminded him of what he had seen in their dormitory some time ago. Although the situation was somewhat similar then and now, the feeling he had was completely different.

It has to be admitted that it was incredibly tempting for such a beautiful woman to undress in front of him.

If it weren't for his firm stance, they might have already fallen by now.

Zhou Wenzhe watched Bae Joo-hyun's performance, wanting to see just how far she could go.

Suddenly, she stopped undressing, put on a pitiful look, and opened her mouth as if to shout.

In an instant, Zhou Wenzhe understood the intention behind her actions.

Good guy.

This is an attempt to frame him for indecent assault.

This woman is so vicious.

If Son Seung-wan and the others saw this scene, no matter how he explained, it would be useless, and they wouldn't believe him no matter what he said.

He also caused Son Seung-wan to distance herself from him because of his flirting with Bae Joo-hyun.

Killing two birds with one stone!

Surprisingly, this woman is quite clever; she came up with the best solution so quickly.

Unfortunately, she was destined to be disappointed, because Zhou Wenzhe was no ordinary person.

Time Stands Still
