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

Chapter 138 Lim Yoon-a's Dream

"Chen Yan, this is the graduation gown you wore when you graduated from university."

"Yes, it's been so many years since I've worn it, I don't know if I can still fit into it."

"You haven't gained weight, your figure should be about the same as before, you should be able to fit into it."

"Yoona, what made you suddenly decide to take graduation photos?"

"You know, this is a recent trend. Couples are taking photos together wearing their graduation gowns from college, like they've traveled back in time, you know?"

"Now that you mention it, it does seem quite interesting."

"Right, hurry up and change. I'm all dressed up. Yonsei University and Dongguk University, hahahahahahaha."

"Chen Yan, you're so handsome! I didn't even know you when you were in college. Taking a photo together now makes up for that, hehe~"

"Yoona, you look beautiful in your graduation gown too."

"Of course, I'm the face of Girls' Generation."

Inside a light curtain, as if isolated by thick fog, it felt like being on the other side of the world.

The figures of a man and a woman were vaguely visible, their faces obscured, only their clear voices could be heard conversing.

On the other side of the thick fog, Lim Yoona stood there, listening to the unfamiliar yet familiar voices talking.

A moment later, the conversation ended.

As Yoona came to her senses and took a step forward, the dream shattered.

In the familiar room, Lim Yoona suddenly opened her eyes, and after a series of practiced breathing movements, she slowly sat up, carefully recalling everything from her dream.

A new dream has appeared.

This time, it was no longer a vast expanse of white; two blurry figures appeared, and the content of their voices was different.

Judging from the content, it should be a photo of "myself" pulling Chen Yan to take a picture while they are wearing their graduation gowns from university.

Oh right, this time the content clearly and explicitly mentions the name "Chen Yan".

This proves that my previous guess was correct; the male voice in my dream was indeed Chen Yan.

Therefore, the two blurry figures were "himself" and Chen Yan.

Yoona meticulously recorded everything she could recall from her dream in the notes section of her phone.

After finishing her notes, she looked at the memo and pondered for a moment before leaving and opening the photo album.

With a light tap of the finger, Chen Yan's photo in his graduation gown instantly filled the entire screen.

Looking at the photo, Lim Yoona frowned and whispered, "Who exactly are you? Why are you and I lovers in my dream? What does this dream represent?"

After a long while, she withdrew her gaze and sighed softly.

It seems I really do need to see Chen Yan again.

Just as Lin Yoona was thinking about meeting Chen Yan, the door to the room was gently opened.

Maknae Seohyun peeked in and smiled when she saw Im Yoona sitting on the bed.

"Yoona unnie, you're awake! Sooyoung unnie ordered some late-night snacks. The unnies asked me to ask if you want to come out and get something to eat?"

"Okay, I'll be right there."

"Inside~"

Seohyun closed the door again. Lim Yoona, who was on the bed, patted her face a few times to gather her thoughts before getting up and walking outside.

Outside, the full moon hung high in the sky, radiating a cool, clear light.

In another corner illuminated by the moonlight, the figures of a man and a woman were clearly visible, and their conversation could be heard.

"Peach, why are you keeping your head down?"

"nothing."

The girl replied, then couldn't help but mutter, "So, the thing you wanted to do with me, oppa, was just to eat with me? I thought..."

When Choi Sulli said the words "I thought," her voice was barely audible, so Chen Yan didn't hear it.

"Yes, this is a good opportunity for you to try my cooking. Peach, do you think it's delicious?"

"It's delicious! Oppa's cooking is really amazing, it tastes even better than V's cooking." Choi Sulli banished the unhealthy thoughts from her mind and immediately looked up and praised him with a smile.

Chen Yan smiled. He knew that the "V-mother" that Choi Sulli mentioned was Victoria Song, the leader of f(x), who was also his fellow Chinese.

"Peach, if your captain heard what you said, she would probably be heartbroken."

"Hehe~ V's mom isn't here right now, how could she possibly hear me? Besides, I really think oppa, your cooking tastes better."

Choi Sulli skipped forward, replying with a smile.

What was that ancient Chinese saying again?

Oh right, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Victoria Song: She clearly forgot her mother when she saw a pretty face.

The girl genuinely felt that the scene of the oppa cooking for her and eating together made her feel at home.

Warm and happy.

She longed for this sense of happiness that had been missing from her life for so long.

Then, the thought that the person who gave her this feeling of happiness was right beside her and would always be there for her made her incredibly happy again.

Seeing this, Chen Yan smiled and didn't say anything, but simply reached out and took the girl's hand.

Choi Sulli stopped abruptly, looking down blankly at the spot where the warmth was coming from.

"What? Can't I hold hands? I don't know who it was, but they kissed me last time and then ran away. It's not too much for me to hold hands now, is it?"

Chen Yan's teasing words rang out.

"oppa~"

The girl replied with a shy, coquettish tone; the dim night and black mask effectively concealed the clearly visible blush on her face.

Although she was being coquettish, her hand quickly grabbed the man's hand and tightened its grip even more.

"Oppa, you can hold my hand however you want, for as long as you want~"

The two smiled at each other, held hands, and continued walking forward.

"By the way, oppa, how did you offend Ji-eun?"

"She complained to you?"

"No, it's just that she suddenly sent me a 'dog couple' message this morning. I haven't offended her, so it must be you, oppa."

Chen Yan smiled and said, "It's nothing. Zhi En just asked me to continue teaching her composition, and I jokingly asked her if she would pay me."

"Hahahaha, so that's how it is, no wonder."

"But oppa, won't you find it tiring to teach Ji-eun? After all, you have to work during the day, so you won't have any rest time."

"No, I came to accommodate Ji-eun's schedule. She's the one who's really busy."

Choi Sulli waved her hand dismissively: "It's okay, I'm used to being busy. But oppa, you should take more rest and not overwork yourself."

Lee Ji-eun: ???

Chen Yan was taken aback upon hearing this, then sighed softly: "So this is what a best friend is like."

"Hehe~ Oppa, can I come to my house for dinner often in the future?"

"You can come and eat here every day."

"No, I can't eat this every day. Oppa's cooking is so delicious that I can't help but eat more and then I'll get fat."

As they walked, the two shared their daily lives, their banter and laughter blending into the night, making the darkness less monotonous.

Under the streetlights, the shadows of men and women intertwined.

This time, the misalignment wasn't caused by distance.

This time, no one held up their phone, anxiously waiting to record that intertwined moment.

Instead, the girl actually leaned on the man's shoulder.
