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

Chapter 150 Loud-barking dogs are the most annoying.

"Oh dear, this is exhausting."

Under the deep night sky, in SM Entertainment's exclusive practice room for Girls' Generation.

After finishing a dance practice session, Lee Soon-kyu lay down on the floor of the practice room, slightly out of breath.

They're about to start practicing again, and all nine of them are doing extra practice every night, just like before.

This not only allows the body to quickly adapt to the high intensity it will return to, but also helps the body's muscle memory to recover.

Once the new song and dance are choreographed in a few days, they can quickly get into high-intensity practice.

Kim Tae-yeon sat down next to her, slightly out of breath, and added with a smile, "It'll be even more tiring in a couple of days, Sun-kyu."

"Oh, call me Sunny."

Lee Soon-kyu called out and then sat up, tidying up his wet bangs.

"Speaking of which, you're supposed to start recording the new song tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, the lyrics were already assigned the day before yesterday. According to the schedule, Yuri and Jessica will record first tomorrow."

Girls' Generation consists of nine members, and each member has a different schedule every day. Naturally, the company cannot stop all the members' schedules just to record songs.

Therefore, the members recorded songs separately, and the recording time was arranged during the members' free time in their daily schedules.

Lee Soon-kyu nodded, then smiled and bumped Kim Tae-yeon's shoulder beside her:

"Xiaoyan is supposed to come to the company tomorrow, right? Oh, what a pity, Taeyeon, you won't be at the company tomorrow, so we won't be able to see her."

What sounded like a lament for a friend was actually more of a teasing tone, making the people around him burst out laughing and then echoing his sentiments.

"Yeah, it's such a pity."

"Yeah, you two haven't met at the company yet, that's a shame."

"Oh, it's such a rare opportunity to meet openly and honestly."

However, Yoona was not among those who made the sarcastic remarks.

She appeared to be watching the spectacle with a smile on her face, but the hand resting on her right leg was secretly clenched.

Ugh, that dull feeling in my heart is back again.

Now you react to even hearing Chen Yan's name, right?

Kim Tae-yeon rolled her eyes.

She was talking as if she and Xiaoyan would never see each other again, even though she was sleeping with her head on Xiaoyan's chest muscles just two nights ago.

Ignoring their teasing, she buried herself in her phone, figuring they'd find something else to do after a while if she just ignored them.

This is experience from two lifetimes.

As expected, seeing that Kim Tae-yeon didn't react much, the others, feeling bored, changed the subject to other topics.

Lin Yoona also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, somewhat glad that everyone stopped talking about Chen Yan.

She really couldn't handle the inexplicable reaction in her heart.

Maybe when I have some free time I should go to the cardiac surgery department of the hospital to get it checked out; this damn heart of mine needs to be treated.

After chatting for a while, Kim Tae-yeon got up and called the others to get up and continue practicing. The music started playing again in the practice room.

More than an hour later, the members of Girls' Generation, having finished their practice for the day, walked out of the practice room chatting and laughing.

Just then, a group of men walked towards them. Upon seeing them, they immediately bowed and greeted them, saying, "Greetings, seniors."

Seeing this, the others smiled and returned the greeting, knowing that this was EXO, the new boy group that debuted in April.

The two groups greeted each other and then walked towards each other, taking different paths.

Baekhyun would bow and greet each Girls' Generation member as they walked past him, but his attention was always fixed on one person.

As he drew closer to his target, he took a deep breath and prepared to greet him.

Taeyeon must have mistaken me for a stranger last time. She must have forgotten to add me in her contacts when she added Kakao before, which is why she deleted me.

If I make more of an impression on Taeyeon and then add her back to Kakao at the right time, our relationship might become closer.

I'm coming!

Byun Baekhyun clenched his fists a little tighter, and as Kim Taeyeon walked past him, he deliberately raised his voice a few notches: "Hello, Taeyeon sunbaenim." However, the expected response did not come; all that could be heard was Kim Taeyeon talking to Lee Soon-kyu next to her.

“Sunny, I’m planning to get a dog. I want to buy a small poodle. I don’t really like other breeds, especially those that look small but bark very loudly. I hate those.”

"If you want to raise one, go ahead, it's not a big deal. But do you have time to raise one?"

As the discussion faded into the distance, Byun Baekhyun stared blankly at Kim Tae-yeon's retreating figure.

It's not quite what I imagined.

At this moment, Kim Jongin nudged him and whispered, "Baekhyun, did you offend Taeyeon sunbaenim?"

"No, how could I?"

"Then why did Taeyeon sunbaenim leave without even glancing at you?"

Byun Baekhyun: ? ? ?

At this moment, the group of girls took the elevator to the underground parking garage and walked towards the nanny van.

Lee Soon-kyu and Kim Tae-yeon were still talking about raising dogs.

"If you get a dog now, you might not have time to take care of it, especially when you first adopt one. You need to spend more time with it and build a bond first."

Kim Tae-yeon blinked: "It's okay, it's not like I'm the only one supporting them."

Mom is busy with work, but there's still Dad, right? It's not like we're children without a father.

Jinze, you already have a father even before you've come to our family in this life.

Lee Soon-kyu was taken aback by what she heard, but then she realized what Kim Tae-yeon meant and couldn't help but roll her eyes speechlessly.

I'm not a dog, why are you feeding me dog food? Seriously.

The nine people got into two separate vans.

Lee Soon-kyu sat down next to Kim Tae-yeon and, instead of making things awkward by continuing the conversation about dogs, changed the subject.

Why didn't you greet that junior named Byun Baekhyun just now?

She had seen it clearly; Kim Tae-yeon's differential treatment was obvious.

He always smiled and returned the greeting to others, but when facing that junior, he didn't even glance at him.

Knowing that Kim Tae-yeon wouldn't do this for no reason, Lee Soon-kyu asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Tiffany, Jessica Jung, and Yuri, who had gotten into the same car, all came over.

"I saw it from behind too. Is something wrong, Taigu?"

Kim Tae-yeon sneered: "What kind of good person would someone who has only been in the industry for half a year and is already secretly sending messages to female seniors in various ways?"

Upon hearing this, a look of realization flashed across their faces.

So that junior had ulterior motives. No wonder.

After learning the reason, the group stopped discussing the topic and instead shifted the conversation to recording the song the next day.

Kwon Yuri said, "Xiao Yan is coming to record a song tomorrow. I wonder what he'll be like when he's recording. He seemed quite gentle last time, so he probably won't be too strict, right?"

As she spoke, she nudged Jessica Jung, who was about to record a song with her, and asked, "Jessica, what do you think?"

"Don't worry, Xiao Yan isn't that kind of person. I recorded a song with him at the TV station last time, and he wasn't strict at all."

Tiffany immediately smiled and raised her hand: "I can testify that I also went to the TV station to record a song with Xiaoyan last time. Xiaoyan is very gentle."

Kim Tae-yeon and Lee Soon-kyu nodded in agreement, and they also went to the TV station to record an OST.

Kwon Yuri was taken aback when she saw this: "Oh my, am I the only one in this car who hasn't recorded a song with Xiaoyan?"

Everyone nodded again, exchanged glances, and then suddenly burst out laughing.

Meanwhile, in another van, Yoona looked down at the lyrics on her phone, feeling inexplicably relieved.

Fortunately, just like before, I was assigned very few lyrics this time.

Fewer lyrics mean less recording time, which in turn means less time spent with Chen Yan.

For the first time in my life, I feel fortunate that I was assigned fewer lyrics.
