Peninsula: The Deepest Affection in Jiangnan

Chapter 85 Sense of Contrast

"37?"

Park Min-joo glanced at the number on the card in her hand, then repeatedly swiped the card at the cabinet numbered 53.

"Huh? Why can't I open it?"

"..." Shen Yu pointed to the cabinet number, "It should be on the other side."

She smiled, holding the card. "Oh! Really! Thank you, but how did we end up over there?"

"...Maybe it was because I was standing over there talking?"

Shen Yu felt that it was just a simple card swipe, but Park Min-joo showed him what a real contrast was: "Your card says 37, why did you insist on swiping 53?"

"I thought the door would pop open by itself after I swiped it," Park Min-joo nodded seriously.

"...Maybe every door has a lock?"

"Is that so?"

"You didn't actually drink it, did you?"

Shen Yu felt like he had asked all the questions for this year.

Looking into her eyes, Park Min-joo's gaze has a kind of unfocused beauty.

These eyes kept attracting Shen Yu's attention.

"No, no, no, it's just that my eyes look a little flat at the angle. Okay, I admit my nearsightedness is a bit high, but I was wearing colored contact lenses today!"

She blinked her big eyes in a showy manner.

Shen Yu still felt that she was slightly tipsy.

"..."

This time, Shen Yu watched as she successfully opened the cabinet and took out her backpack.

"I'm going to change my clothes now."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here."

There was a dedicated dressing room next to the lockers. After waiting for a while, Shen Yu saw Park Min-joo come out after changing her clothes.

Seoul in January is still quite cold. When Shen Yu saw her wearing an off-the-shoulder, tie-up dress, he was quite surprised at first glance.

The girls in Seoul really know how to withstand the cold in winter in order to take good photos.

But this person also knows how to keep warm.

A black fur-trimmed jacket was paired with light blue canvas plaid wide-leg jeans. The original lace-up sandals were replaced with black sneakers. The oversized style and the exposed white T-shirt underneath added a touch of design flair.

Laziness and refinement...

Look into her eyes again.

That's perfectly reasonable.

When you come to Wolmi Island, how can you not have a blast?

A variety of fun rides, especially the pirate ship, rotating tower, DJ turntable and roller coaster!

then.

Inside a cafe with a view of the sea.

It was daytime, a perfect time to enjoy amusement park rides, but the two of them sat here basking in the afternoon sun.

Although it's nice to see the sea during the day, it's a waste of the afternoon, which is the mildest time of day, to sit indoors.

This was the first time Shen Yu had tried this behavior.

"So why change clothes?"

Since there's no need to ride a roller coaster, that long dress seems more suitable indoors.

"It's very cold. I brought that dress specifically for the photoshoot, but I changed into it afterward."

Park Min-joo basked in the sun, taking off her fur-trimmed jacket and wearing only a loose short-sleeved T-shirt.

Her fair and slender arms picked up the fork.

"..."

The answer was impeccable.

However, the brownie cake on the table was missing a piece, and Park Min-joo's speech was muffled, as if she had sugar in her mouth; everyone knew what she was doing.

The most interesting thing was that there was a steaming glass of chocolate milk in front of her.

In front of Shen Yu was a black coffee with lots of ice.

"Aren't you going to take a picture?"

"Didn't you just take a picture?"

Park Min-joo picked up her phone, tapped it a few times, and handed it to Shen Yu. "Add my account and remember to send it to me, okay? Please!"

Her adorable appearance is completely different from before.

"..."

She gave Shen Yu a completely different feeling than any of the other girls.

Shen Yu even felt like he was hanging out with his buddies when one of them suddenly turned into a cute girl dressed as a maid.

Noticing Shen Yu staring at her, Park Min-joo offered an explanation.

"I'm not very good at taking pictures of food; I always get laughed at after I finish."

Shen Yu picked up his phone, added the other person's KakaoTalk account, and then sent her the picture he had just taken of the brownie paired with hot chocolate milk.

Her account nickname is very simple: MinJu followed by a little rabbit emoji.

"By the way, are you from out of town? Or did you grow up in the United States?"

Park Min-joo's accent had a slightly different timbre, leading Shen Yu to suspect that she might be from Gyeongju or Gangwon Province.

Of course, this somewhat hip-hop oversized outfit also gives her a bit of a "returned overseas student" vibe.

"..."

While playing on her phone, Park Min-joo gradually slumped onto the comfortable sofa in the coffee shop, seemingly ignoring messages she had read.

He even took out his earphones and put them in his ears, squinting his eyes and looking even more listless.

Shen Yu had never encountered such a situation before.

He was one of the few men who had seen a lot in his life, but he had never really met a girl like Park Min-joo.

Realizing he hadn't received a reply, Shen Yu leaned back in his chair and started looking at the Moon Tail Island travel guide on his phone.

I originally thought I could experience it myself before bringing my niece to play, but now I can only rely on the guidebook.

as well as.

When he usually invites girls to hang out, he either refuses outright, indicating that Shen Yu isn't his type.

Girls who agree to date him generally enjoy doing many things together.

Even a laid-back girl like Choi Ji-soo spent some time exploring Jeju Island with Shen Yu before heading back late at night.

He had never encountered a scene like this before, where two people sat facing each other in a coffee shop, playing on their phones, looking like a middle-aged couple.

Looking past the phone, Shen Yu saw Park Min-joo's large, bright eyes, which were even more striking because of her contact lenses. Her gaze seemed unfocused as she picked up the phone, then squinted again after putting it down.

If I had to describe it, the person had an inhuman quality, like a delicate porcelain doll placed right in front of you.

"I'm from Gyeonggi Province, but I speak a little slowly."

"Um?"

"Huh? Didn't you just ask me that?"

"..." Shen Yu said, "You seemed to have gone through a bit too long just now."

After she finished a brownie, it took her a long time to answer Shen Yu's question.

"Don't you want to go out for a walk?"

"It's a rare treat to come here for a vacation," Park Min-joo remarked.

"Yes!" Shen Yu nodded.

She tucked a strand of her slightly curled right hair behind her ear, and Shen Yu then noticed that she had used her left hand when she picked up the fork.

Park Min-joo tilted her head to look at Shen Yu, and her exposed ear caught his attention.

They have naturally large, three-dimensional ears, like elf ears.

"But coming here counts as a vacation, right? Like right now!" Park Min-joo looked out the window and couldn't help but stretch.

Do all girls whose names contain the character "柱" (zhu) have such distinctive ears?

Shen Yu's gaze was so obvious that even the oblivious Park Min-joo noticed him looking at her ears. She immediately straightened her hair and covered her ears.

"It's beautiful."

Shen Yu didn't hide the fact that he was staring at Park Min-joo's ears.

"Ah, is that so..." Her cheeks flushed, a rare occurrence for her, and her ears, hidden in her hair, turned red.

Park Min-joo sat up from the sofa and looked down at the table.

When people are nervous, they want to do something.

"I think getting a cartilage piercing would be a great fit; it would definitely draw more attention, right?"

"Then I'll go back and give it a try!"

"?"

Looking at those big, blinking eyes staring at him, Shen Yu didn't know what to say.
