Chapter 32 The Thief Preview
Achoo, achoo...
Who's talking about me? Sana Minatozaki sneezed twice in a row, then started scrolling through TikTok again—
[Attention! If you dream about someone more and more frequently, it means you care about them a lot...]
[Actually, dreams are about another version of yourself in a parallel universe...]
An American scientist once conducted an experiment about dreams...
Sana Minatozaki scrolled through several short videos, then blinked at the ceiling listlessly.
Big data is awful! It's as precise as if it's equipped with a camera, showing the same things over and over again, and she's so engrossed in watching it that before she knows it, daylight is breaking through the curtains.
To be precise, the sun is already high in the sky.
If I keep looking, I'll practically become a dream interpreter!
On the soft, large bed, Sana Minatozaki turned her head to look at the lone, off-white suitcase in the corner, feeling as if something was missing from her heart.
It's just a little bear pendant... Although I'm not the type to treat people to meals often in the team, I wouldn't be so stingy as to make a fuss over a little bear pendant.
Why did I feel uncomfortable all over after giving it to Mina?
Feeling unwell is probably just because she carelessly stayed up all night again, right? It's normal to feel uncomfortable all over after staying up all night, Minatozaki Sana told herself, she's already twenty-seven years old.
It's definitely not because Jung Do-hoon happens to have the same bear pendant that I feel itchy all over!
Moreover, the man in the dream had hardly ever been to China, yet Wikipedia clearly states that Zheng Daoxun studied there for four years.
So... Zheng Daoxun is most likely just a projection of the man in her dream into reality, right? They're not the same person.
Sana Minatozaki yawned and jumped out of bed, almost fainting and falling to the ground—her heart was pounding as she got up too suddenly.
A plan quietly emerged.
She fought off her sleepiness and sent a message to the four of them who were staying in Indonesia, asking if they wanted to pack their own breakfast to bring back.
Mina replied with a "1" in the group chat, her manager said thank you, and as for Momo Hirai... she was probably fast asleep.
Around 11 a.m., I slipped out of the hotel and bought four "breakfasts" from a shop outside.
I knocked on the door and delivered a breakfast to Hirai Momo. Momo looked like she'd seen a ghost, took the breakfast, closed the door, and said she wanted to go back to sleep.
Ha... What a terrible attitude. If it weren't for the fact that Sana Minatozaki wasn't targeting her, I would have really taught her a lesson.
Sana Minato rubbed her nose, snorted softly, and knocked on her manager's door again. Lee Sang-won was on the phone at the time. She wanted to leave discreetly so as not to disturb her manager's work, but just as she was about to turn around, she heard the words "clerk".
Sana Minatozaki stopped in her tracks.
"Unnie, is there any progress on the passport application?" Minatozaki Sana asked sweetly, one hand gripping the door frame and swinging back and forth.
"There's been no progress, but I think it's still necessary to call the clerk to report. Maybe he can communicate with the Japanese embassy on our behalf?"
Lee Sang-won sighed, looking at the calendar on her phone. She had been stranded here for five days already, and it really felt no different from being in prison.
Sana Minatozaki thought it was Jung Do-hoon calling to check on her, so she waved her hand, turned around and left, feeling inexplicably disappointed.
Finally, she arrived at Mina's room and knocked on the door.
"Haven't you eaten yet? Why did you buy it so quickly?" Mina took the takeout bag from Sana Minatozaki.
Sana Minatozaki held up another takeout bag, smiled, and tiptoed in: "Want to have breakfast with you~"
Mina felt that Sana Minatozaki was acting a little strange, but she still wrinkled her nose, gave the table to Sana Minatozaki, and sat on the sofa with the noodles she had brought back, eating them in small bites.
Mina is the kind of woman who eats very elegantly. Her parents were very strict about this from childhood. Even her somewhat rough-looking older brother eats very politely.
However, Mina sometimes thinks that eating freely in front of familiar people, like Sana Minatozaki, and occasionally smacking her lips, makes the food taste much better, right?
She had barely taken a few bites of her noodles when Minatozaki Sana had already finished and was wiping her mouth with a tissue.
"Mina, where's the TV remote?"
"It's on the bedside table." Mina glanced at Sana Minatozaki, who was walking towards the bedside table but whose gaze was wandering all over the room, and felt that something was wrong.
"Oh! I haven't watched TV in a long time, and I suddenly want to watch the news." Sana Minatozaki picked up the remote and turned on the TV.
The screen lit up; it was YTN, a South Korean news channel that was rebroadcasting last night's news during this off-peak time.
Sana Minato noticed that Mina's attention was completely drawn to the television, but she was completely unaware of the fleeting look of panic on the latter's face.
As for herself, she quietly moved to the side of Mina's handbag hanging on the shelf.
The teddy bear that Sana Minatozaki lost is hanging on it.
Busan has entered the final stage of its application to host the 2030 World Expo...
Sana Minatozaki, holding the remote control, glanced back at Mina with a slightly guilty expression. To her surprise, Mina also stood up, looked at her, and extended her hand.
"What's so interesting about the news? Watch TV dramas instead."
"Oh..." Minatozaki Sana agreed. She stood next to Mina's handbag, feeling a little embarrassed, as if she had been caught red-handed.
Actually, she didn't intend to steal the bear pendant back; she just wanted to take a second look at it.
Absolutely.
Who would be stupid enough to steal something right in front of someone? Mina isn't an idiot.
"What I was trying to say is that this little bear pendant is quite loose. If you hang it outside like this, who knows when it will fall off..." Sana Minatozaki stared at her head with the remote control and rubbed her forehead.
"I know, hurry up and change the channel, there's nothing interesting on the news," Mina urged again.
Sana Minatozaki responded and was about to press the channel change button when the rebroadcast news jumped to the next item.
It was a special report by YTN television on the large number of artists stranded in Indonesia due to their passports being confiscated.
This kind of news not only attracted widespread public attention, but also allowed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to successfully resolve the crisis, making it an excellent propaganda tool and naturally deserving extensive coverage.
"Let's take a look." Sana Minato glanced at Mina Mina, her tone less flustered.
As for Mina, she felt somewhat guilty and helpless as she sat back down on the sofa, crossed her legs, and said:
"Watching the news won't help us get our passports back."
"It's never a bad thing to stay informed about current events."
[Zheng Daoxun, secretary of the Cultural Exchange Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, responded immediately to the requests of numerous talent agencies and artists, flew to Indonesia on Saturday, and engaged in practical and effective communication with the Indonesian side...]
