Peninsula: It’s just a dream, are you serious?

Chapter 132 Isn't he just a scumbag?
Chen Yan was naturally unaware of the chaos unfolding around Girls' Generation.

He walked into Kim Seong-hoon's office and met his teacher, whom he hadn't seen for some time.

"teacher."

"Here you go, sit down."

Kim Sung-hoon smiled kindly at Chen Yan and gestured for him to sit down in the chair opposite him.

After Chen Yan sat down, he reached into the drawer on his right, took out an envelope, and handed it to Chen Yan.

“You told me a couple of days ago that you decided to go to JYP after your internship. This is the letter of recommendation I wrote. Just take this with you when you go to see Park Jin-young. Let me know a day in advance and I will make arrangements with him.”

Chen Yan accepted the envelope with both hands, bowed slightly, and sincerely thanked the teacher, saying, "Thank you, teacher."

Kim Sung-hoon really helped him a lot during his four years of university.

Seeing this, Kim Sung-hoon smiled and said, "I hope you can achieve something, so that the academy and the school can have another prestigious reputation."

"I will try my best, teacher."

Chen Yan and Jin Chenghun chatted in the office for a while longer before getting up and leaving.

He took out his phone; it had rung a few times while he was in the office.

On the screen, message pop-ups for Kim Tae-yeon and Choi Sulli were displayed.

First, open Kim Tae-yeon's message.

My favorite Noona: So handsome! [kiss]

My favorite Nuna: It's such a pity I can't attend your graduation ceremony and take a picture with you. [Sad puppy emoji]

Noona, whom I like: I'm going to record the show now.

The last message was sent three minutes ago.

Upon seeing the message, Chen Yan's lips curled into a slight smile.

This woman seems to be dating at the same age as when she was 18.

He thought for a moment and replied: It's okay, I'll find some time next time to wear my graduation gown and take some photos with Nuna.

The message is naturally unread.

Chen Yan then turned to look at Choi Sulli's news.

Peach [heart]: Oppa is so handsome, it's just a pity I can't attend his graduation ceremony and take a photo with him.

Then there's a selfie of a girl with a sweet smile, and the background shows it's taken on a film set.

This nickname was changed by the girl herself when she took his phone last time, and it was also pinned to the top, just like Kim Tae-yeon's.

Chen Yan first saved Cui Xueli's selfie, and then replied to the message: It's okay, I'll find another opportunity to take some photos with you wearing this outfit next time.

After replying to the message, he suddenly paused.

This sounds exactly like what he said to Kim Tae-yeon earlier.

It sounds like one of those mass messages sent by a scumbag.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.

He's a complete scumbag now.

Gathering his thoughts, Chen Yan left the teaching building and, without lingering at school, drove straight home.

After returning home, I was busy until about 5 p.m.

Chen Yan looked at the completely finished version of "I Got a Boy" on the software and breathed a sigh of relief.

He exported the lyrics and music, but instead of sending them to SM Entertainment immediately, he first applied for copyright registration on the Peninsula Music Copyright Registration Platform.

This can avoid a lot of disgusting things.

Peninsula does a pretty good job in copyright protection.

As for SM Entertainment, they're not in a hurry; there are still two weeks until the submission deadline.

Looking at the words "Application submitted successfully" on the computer screen, Chen Yan sat in his chair and stretched slightly.

Hopefully, in the end, as he hopes, his song will be selected by SM Entertainment.

After getting up and stretching his body, Chen Yan picked up his phone from the table, glanced at the time, and walked out of the bedroom.

He also had dinner plans with Park In-jae that evening.

Driving to the vicinity of the address Park In-jae had sent him, Chen Yan found a parking space on the roadside and parked his car.

After getting out of the car and closing the door, I looked towards the store entrance. Park In-jae was standing there. Upon seeing me, he immediately raised his hand in greeting.

Stepping over, Park In-jae smiled and hooked his arm around his shoulder. "Come on, it's been so long since we had barbecue together."

It was dinner time, and the restaurant was quite crowded. The two found an empty seat and sat down.

After ordering, the waiter turned to leave. Just as Park In-jae was about to pour Chen Yan a glass of soju, Chen Yan stopped him with his hand.

"I drove here."

"Just find a designated driver later."

Chen Yan shook his head: "I don't want strangers driving my car."

His car doesn't belong to him; it belongs to Kim Tae-yeon's older sister.

After a moment of surprise, Park In-jae realized what he meant and gave a teasing smile: "I almost forgot, your car was a gift from Kim Tae-yeon. You really should cherish it and not let just anyone drive it."

Chen Yan rolled her eyes at him upon hearing this.

Let's make it clear: it's a loan, not a gift.

Although his relationship with that older sister has undergone a significant change, the facts still need to be clarified.

Otherwise, what kind of person would he be?

"Fine, then I won't let you drink it."

Park In-jae smiled, put down his soju, and changed the subject: "What did the teacher want to talk to you about this afternoon?"

"I plan to go to JYP after my internship ends, and my teacher wrote me a letter of recommendation."

"You're going to JYP? That's great."

"What are your plans after your internship at Inkigayo ends?"

Chen Yan picked out two pieces of beef that the shop assistant had just brought over and placed them on the grill, glancing at Park In-jae as he did so.

“My family has made arrangements for me. I will continue working on Inkigayo for a year to accumulate experience and then get promoted.”

Chen Yan paused in his act of picking up the grilled meat, and couldn't help but take a serious look at Park In-jae.

The way you're talking makes it sound like SBS is your personal property.

Park In-jae seemed to understand his gaze: "Don't look at me like that. SBS isn't owned by my family. It's just that my family happens to have some connections."

Chen Yan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

He genuinely didn't know what Park In-jae's family did specifically.

During his four years of university, Park In-jae rarely mentioned his family, clearly unwilling to talk about it.

He didn't want to talk about it, so Chen Yan naturally didn't ask any further questions.

Sometimes, the most valuable thing about friendship is sincerity.

After discussing one topic, the two continued eating barbecue while finding various other topics to talk about.

Perhaps knowing that Chen Yan would be going to JYP, Park In-jae then gave Chen Yan a detailed introduction to JYP's girl groups.

Wonder Girls, Miss A, Lee Sunmi, and Bae Suzy.

Chen Yan was speechless for a moment.

After a few rounds of meat (a euphemism for sex), and having finished explaining JYP's girl groups, Park In-jae looked at Chen Yan and suddenly asked:
"By the way, how's that friend you mentioned last time? Has the problem been resolved?"

This is the question he most wants to ask tonight.

Chen Yan paused in his chewing, then thought for a moment and said, "I guess that should be considered resolved."

Park In-jae's eyes lit up: "So, he chose the first girl?"

Chen Yan shook his head.

"No? So you chose the second one?"

Chen Yan shook his head again.

Park In-jae's gaze towards Chen Yan became somewhat strange: "Neither? Could it be that he didn't choose either one and rejected them both?"

That shouldn't be the case; this guy is still driving the car that Kim Tae-yeon gave him.

Chen Yan: I already said it wasn't a gift!

"He chose both of them."

"What?! You chose both?!"
