Peninsula: Superpowered Daily Life

Chapter 11 Meeting

The venue for Twice's autograph session was a large shopping mall. Before the autograph session, they would also perform several songs there, including some of their hit songs that were very popular in Japan and singles from their latest album.

When Zhou Wenzhe arrived at the scene, it was already surrounded by layers of fans from all over the world. He had already heard five or six languages, with Chinese and Japanese being the most common.

Among all the South Korean girl groups that have pursued careers in Japan, Twice is arguably one of the most successful, if not the most. One of the most important reasons for this is that the group has three Japanese members, giving them a natural advantage in terms of language.

The lucky draw is conducted by purchasing Twice albums or merchandise and drawing a winner with your receipt. No matter how much you buy, only one receipt is valid, which is quite fair.

Ten lucky fans will be drawn in total. With nearly 300 people at the event, there is a chance of being selected at about 3.5%.

During the staff's raffle, Zhou Wenzhe cheated and won a ticket to the live autograph session.

His ticket had a seat number, which indicated the order of the autograph session. His number was 100, meaning he was the last fan to go on stage for an autograph session.

As soon as he got the tickets, many fans came up to him asking if he would sell them, and they offered quite high prices.

Unfortunately, these fans are destined to be disappointed.

The autograph session was in the afternoon, so he had to wait a while. After getting his admission ticket, Zhou Wenzhe strolled around the mall, intending to buy Lin Nalian some gifts.

But what should I buy?

This gave him some trouble.

As he strolled around, he saw a toy store and went inside. When he saw a cute rabbit doll, he picked it up and couldn't help but think of the nickname his classmates had given Lim Nayeon when they were little.

Let's buy this one.

After paying the bill with the rabbit plush toy, Zhou Wenzhe found a restaurant, filled his stomach, and then waited for the autograph session to begin.

Just as we were waiting, the system notification sounded suddenly.

This means that the target is within a kilometer radius of him. At this point, he is 100% certain that the target of this "first love" mission is indeed Lim Na-yeon.

I wonder what kind of new task the system will give me after this side quest is completed.

With the signing event about to begin, Zhou Wenzhe headed to the venue. He was a little late, as the area in front of him was already surrounded by a crowd. Even the second and third floors of the mall were filled with fans, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the nine girls.

Anyway, he would see them at the autograph session later, so Zhou Wenzhe stood on the outer circle, just like the other fans, waiting for them to appear.

During this time, he also observed the fans around him.

In stark contrast to Red Velvet, Twice has a predominantly male fanbase, with a ratio of approximately 7:3, demonstrating their popularity among men.

This surprised Zhou Wenzhe. The five girls of Red Velvet were also very pretty, and there was even Bae Joo-hyun among them. Although she wasn't tall, she was indeed very beautiful and should be the type that boys like.

Why are their fans predominantly female?

What is the reason for this?

Is it because of the style? Or some other reason?

This is a question that he should study.

After waiting for a few minutes, the host came on stage. He said a few words into the microphone and then invited the nine members of Twice to come out.

As soon as the nine girls appeared on stage, the audience erupted in cheers like a tsunami, with waves of sound rising and falling.

What kind of magic makes these fans so crazy?

Zhou Wenzhe has never been a fan of any celebrities, and doesn't even have any favorite stars, so he doesn't understand.

After the nine girls came on stage, they stood in a row, made a gesture with their index fingers, and then greeted the fans: "One in a million! We are Twice."

Cheers erupted again from the crowd.

Next, they began their performance.

The first song they performed was their latest single, followed by Japanese versions of three of Twice's hit songs.

Zhou Wenzhe's gaze remained fixed on Lin Nayeon, and slowly he recalled many memories of the two of them from their childhood.

I wonder how her leg injury is now, whether it's healed or not.

Zhou Wenzhe recalled that Lin Nalian had been in a car accident when she was a child. Although she recovered at the time, she was left with sequelae, such as weakness in her legs and instability when standing.

He remembered that during that time he often carried her on his back or acted as her support.

Perhaps sensing something, Lim Nayeon, who was performing on stage, subconsciously looked in Zhou Wenzhe's direction.

However, she didn't find anything, but somehow she felt as if she had missed something very important.

Because of a sudden lapse in concentration, her dance went a beat slower, and the dance formation went awry. Fortunately, her teammates stepped in to cover for her and gave her a reminder, which prevented a performance accident.

After the performance, the nine members of Twice returned to the waiting room to wait for the autograph session to begin.

While Tzuyu was touching up her makeup and changing clothes, she found Nayeon, who had just finished changing.

"Unnie, what happened to you just now?"

"I don't know what happened, I just suddenly spaced out."

"Oh, I thought you weren't feeling well."

"No, you should go change your clothes."

"Um."

After Chou Tzu-yu left, Lim Na-yeon recalled the situation again. She felt very strange at the moment, wondering why she had suddenly spaced out. She had never experienced anything like this before.

No, it seems like there was one time.

A scene suddenly flashed through Lim Nayeon's mind, but it was already somewhat blurry. If it weren't for today's unexpected situation, she would have completely forgotten it.

then...

"Nayeon, come here for a second."

Just as the images in Lim Nayeon's mind were becoming clearer, her manager's voice interrupted her recollection.

"Oh, here it comes."

On the other side, Zhou Wenzhe and other fans with tickets to the autograph session arrived at the venue.

After having his ticket checked and passing through security, he lined up and entered the venue, finding his seat.

Coincidentally, the person sitting next to him was a female fan, and she was quite pretty.

Perhaps because Zhou Wenzhe was very handsome, the girl took the initiative to greet him with "Hello".

Zhou Wenzhe responded with a polite smile. Judging from the girl's appearance, she was most likely Chinese, so he replied in Chinese, "Are you from China?"

"Yes, I'm from Shanghai. Are you Chinese too?" The girl seemed very happy to hear the familiar language.

"I guess so, I came from Canada."

"Oh, you're of Chinese descent."

"Um."

In fact, Zhou Wenzhe's background is quite complicated. His grandfather was born in Taiwan, and later, for some reason, he followed his great-grandfather to the United States, where he settled down.

Later, his father was sent to South Korea for work, where he met his mother, and the two got married and had him.

"When did you become an ONCE?"

"I'm a new fan, what about you?" Zhou Wenzhe knew that ONCE was the fan name for Twice.

"Me too, I only became a fan of them this year."

Who do you like?

"Sana and Tzuyu, what about you?"

"I don't have any particular favorites, but I became a fan of them because of Lim Nayeon."

"Really? I like Nayeon too. She has a really cute smile."

"I think so too."

The two chatted casually.

Although this girl claims to be a new fan, she knows everything about Twice and each member, including a lot of gossip and rumors.

For example, she said that during her trainee days, Lim Na-yeon used a male trainee's meal card to eat in order to sneak food and try to avoid the company's inspection.

A short while later, the nine members of Twice arrived at the venue in brand new outfits. After thanking their fans, they took their seats behind the autograph table.

The autograph session officially began, and under the arrangement of the staff, the fans went on stage in an orderly manner.

When it was almost Zhou Wenzhe's turn, he took out a black mask from his pocket and put it on.
