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

Chapter 153 Should I Take the Initiative? (Please Subscribe!)
Around 5 p.m., Chen Yan finished recording for the day and walked out of the recording studio with Jessica Jung and two assistants.

After recording her part of the lyrics around 1 PM, Kwon Yuri's older sister went to work on her schedule.

After taking the elevator to the first floor, Chen Yan said goodbye to his two assistants and then looked at Jessica Jung.

"Nuna, do you have any plans for tonight?"

"No."

"Oh, would you like me to take you back to your dorm?"

"no need."

Jessica shook her head, looking at the man in front of her with a complicated expression: "I have something to do, so I won't go back to the dorm yet."

"Okay, then I'll be going now."

Jessica Jung stood there, watching Chen Yan's figure gradually disappear into the distance, her eyes becoming increasingly complicated, her two arched eyebrows furrowing deeply.

Are you really two-timing?

How could you be this kind of person?
She recalled that when she first met Chen Yan at the housewarming banquet, she had a really good impression of him.

The two subsequent misunderstandings turned out to be just me overthinking things.

But this time, she couldn't seem to find any reason to convince herself that it was another misunderstanding.

During a break from recording in the afternoon, she specifically went online to search whether Choi Sulli had the nickname "Peach".

The result was that the girl did indeed have this nickname.

Not only that, Jessica Jung also saw IU's new song "Peach" which she released just last month.

In an interview, Lee Ji-eun herself said that this song was written for her good friend Choi Sulli.

Most importantly, the composer of this song is Chen Yan.

Now, everything really does match up.

If we assume the two are a couple, then the intimacy they felt while chatting during lunch, and the nicknames they just saw, all make sense.

Jessica Jung tried to piece together the timeline.

If the two are together, then it should be around the time Chen Yan composed the music for Lee Ji-eun's new song.

Chen Yan and Cui Xueli had frequent contact because of Li Zhi'en, and then they naturally got together.

Lee Ji-eun: Are I helping them get together?

However, Chen Yan was in a flirtatious relationship with Taeyeon at that time, and Taeyeon was very good to him, even buying him a car.

He didn't want to lose Kim Tae-yeon's kindness because of Choi Sulli, so he thought of having his cake and eating it too.

She can date a beautiful younger woman and also enjoy being fed by a wealthy older woman.

As her thoughts cleared, Jessica Jung's breathing became more and more rapid. She looked up again in the direction Chen Yan had left.

Damn it, you scumbag!

No! I have to tell Taeyeon right away.

Jessica Jung quickly took out her phone from her bag, about to send a message to Taeyeon, but her fingers suddenly paused when they landed on the virtual keyboard.

Wait a minute, I don't seem to have any evidence.

Although she had deduced the "truth" based on what she had seen with her own eyes and some other information, Kim Tae-yeon was unaware of it.

The two are clearly in the honeymoon phase lately, so if I just tell Taeyeon that Chen Yan is a jerk, she probably won't believe me.

On the contrary, it might alert the enemy, making that scumbag Chen Yan on guard, and he might even turn around and accuse them.

Why don't we find a time to let Taeyeon and Sulli talk face to face?
With a furrowed brow, Jessica Jung pondered for a moment before finally abandoning the idea.

Well, we can't rush things with Taeyeon, and I'm not entirely sure what's going on with Sulli either. What if something unexpected happens? We need to get the crucial evidence first.

For now, we'll try to subtly probe Taeyeon, hoping to put her on guard.

Once Kim Tae-yeon had an idea, Jessica Jung immediately thought of Krystal Jung.

My younger sister is in danger right now. What if she really gets scammed by that scumbag?
She didn't bother with any strategy when it came to her younger sister; she simply picked up her phone and sent her a message.

Jessica Jung: You are not allowed to contact Chen Yan again! The message was sent but is currently unread.

Knowing that her younger sister was busy with her schedule, Jessica Jung was no longer in a hurry.

He put away his phone, looked in the direction Chen Yan had left, snorted heavily again, and then turned and left.

Two hours later, Krystal Jung, who had just finished a schedule and returned to her car, took the phone from her assistant and saw a message from her unnie, looking completely bewildered.

Jessica [Heart]: You are not allowed to contact Chen Yan again!

What does this mean, so nonsensical?

Krystal Jung's little brain started working, and suddenly a possibility came to mind.

Oh no, what if my unnie finds out from Chen Yan what happened in the practice room that day, and then, knowing that I like Chen Yan, comes to stop me from dating?

She knew that Chen Yan was recording a song with her unnie today, so she wondered if they had talked about this during their conversation.

She was just about to ask Chen Yan when another message suddenly popped up in the chat box.

Jessica [Heart]: Why haven't you replied to my message yet?
Jessica [Heart]: You don't actually have feelings for Chen Yan, do you, Krystal Jung?
Holding her phone in both hands, Krystal Jung bit her lower lip lightly, her mind racing as she considered what to do.

She knew that if she didn't reply within ten seconds, Jessica Jung would definitely call.

At this point, of course you have to deny it. This is what people who don't want their parents to know about their relationships do when faced with their parents' questioning.

Her fingers began to tap rapidly on the virtual keyboard.

Krystal Jung: My manager oppa just talked to me about tomorrow's schedule. I haven't even had a chance to check the message carefully yet. Jessica, what's the rush?

Krystal Jung: I really don't contact Chen Yan very often, don't make it sound like we're in frequent contact.

To fool Jessica Jung, you first need to be assertive so she can't see your guilty conscience.

This is also why Krystal Jung didn't give her unnie a chance to call.

If she senses the guilt in my voice, I'm doomed.

Jessica [heart]: Really?

Krystal Jung: Really? You saw it yourself last time. I didn't even know Chen Yan had a car, how could I possibly be in frequent contact with him?

The second step is to directly ask her a specific question, preferably one that actually happened, to completely dispel her doubts.

Two seconds later, Jessica Jung replied: That's good.

yes!

Krystal Jung was secretly delighted by the success of her plan; her unnie was still as easy to fool as ever.

At this moment, Jessica Jung sent another message: He is not right for you.

Is he not right for me?
Krystal Jung paused slightly when she saw the message. For some reason, she suddenly thought of Kim Tae-yeon, that unnie.

So Jessica Jung knew that Taeyeon unnie also liked Chen Yan, and was afraid that I would really fall for him, so she made me keep my distance from Chen Yan.

Jessica Jung: ? I said let's not contact each other anymore, not keep our distance!
The joy of having fooled her sister quickly faded, and Krystal pursed her lips.

But what if I don't want to give up?

She and Chen Yan have only just started to develop their relationship, and it's not like Chen Yan will necessarily like Taeyeon unnie, so she's not completely without a chance.

Chen Yan was the first person I truly liked.

A jumble of thoughts swirled in the girl's mind when her phone suddenly rang again.

It wasn't a message from anyone, but a pop-up message from a browser.

[For the first time in ten years! The Korean Peninsula is expected to witness a massive Orionid meteor shower at 8 PM the day after tomorrow!]

It's a meteor shower.

Krystal Jung's eyes sparkled.

Should I take the initiative this time?
