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

Chapter 155 If you don't court death, you won't die.
Byun Baekhyun nudged Kim Jongin next to him: "Jongin, come with me over there. Taeyeon sunbaenim is over there. I'll go say hello."

Following Byun Baekhyun's gaze, Kim Jongin saw Kim Tae-yeon and the other two sitting there eating, and looked somewhat hesitant.

"You're going again? Last time, Taeyeon sunbaenim..."

Before he could finish speaking, Byun Baekhyun waved his hand to interrupt him: "Oh, I'm just going to say hello to my senior, what's the big deal?"

After he went back last time, he thought about it again and realized that the scene of the two groups greeting each other was a bit chaotic, which is why Taeyeon didn't hear his greeting.

Or perhaps because there were too many people in her group, Taeyeon mistakenly thought that she had already greeted her, so she left directly.

Byun Baekhyun didn't think there was anything wrong with his idea at all.

Kim Tae-yeon is a very good senior, and I have never offended her, so she has no reason to target me.

Kim Jongin was still a little hesitant, but Byun Baekhyun had already pulled him toward Kim Tae-yeon.

Kim Tae-yeon was having a pleasant chat with Lee Soon-kyu and Choi Soo-young when suddenly a somewhat jarring voice rang in her ears.

"Hello Taeyeon sunbaenim, hello Sunny sunbaenim, hello Sooyoung sunbaenim."

After bowing and greeting, Byun Baekhyun straightened up, smiling and looking intently at Kim Tae-yeon.

Kim Jongin, who was standing next to him, quickly followed suit and bowed in greeting, but his smile looked somewhat forced.

For some reason, he had a bad feeling about it.

Lee Soon-kyu and Choi Soo-young smiled and nodded in return.

But when he looked at Byun Baekhyun, his eyes held a somewhat inexplicable look.

This guy named Byun Baekhyun, he has absolutely no self-awareness.

Taeyeon's attitude was already so obvious last time, yet she's still trying to get closer to me with such a clear intention.

They're not clueless little girls.

After glancing at the rest of EXO not far away, he roughly understood what was going on.

It was obvious that this Byun Baekhyun came over specifically because Taeyeon was here, and to avoid drawing attention, he even brought Kim Jongin along.

These kinds of tactics, which are only used during student days, won't be sweet if used on the wrong person; they'll just make people really annoyed.

You can tell by Taeyeon poking at the rice on her plate with her chopsticks and the obvious impatience on her face.

The atmosphere in the room froze instantly.

Lee Soon-kyu and Choi Soo-young exchanged a secret glance, just as Lee Soon-kyu was about to speak.

Kim Tae-yeon across from her put down her chopsticks.

He turned his head, looked at Kim Jongin, and smiled and nodded.

But when he looked at Byun Baekhyun, the smile on his face vanished instantly.

Byun Baekhyun's smile froze, and his hands unconsciously gripped his trouser legs tightly.

What's going on? Why did Taeyeon suddenly have a cold expression?

Noticing his subtle movements, Kim Tae-yeon took a deep breath, suppressing her disgust, and said coldly:

"Don't hang around in front of me again. I know exactly what you're up to. If you can, don't even bother to greet me anymore. I think whether it's deleting you from my Kakao friends list or not responding to you, my attitude is already very clear. People should know their place, Byun Baekhyun-ssi."

Kim Tae-yeon felt that she had indeed made it very clear.

Having memories of her past life, she has a natural information gap with others. In order not to appear too abnormal, she deliberately chose to ignore the other person to express her attitude.

Unexpectedly, after the first two experiences, the other party still stuck to me like a leech.

Since that's the case, she might as well just make things clear to avoid this guy bothering her again in the future.

Kim Tae-yeon really doesn't want to say even a single word to the other person unless it's absolutely necessary.

Across from him, Byun Baekhyun completely lost his smile, gripping his trouser legs tightly with both hands, frozen in place for a moment. Kim Jongin, standing beside him, awkwardly dug a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground with his toes for him.

I told you not to come and say hello, but you wouldn't listen.

After saying those words, Kim Tae-yeon turned around and continued chatting with Lee Soon-kyu and Choi Soo-young.

There's no need to let a piece of trash ruin your mood.

"Remember to buy Xiaoyan a coffee later, and make sure to add two sugars, because he doesn't like bitter drinks."

"I know, I know. I'll just give him double the milk later, okay? He won't suffer."

Seeing this, Kim Jongin knew that the matter was over and quickly stepped forward to pull Byun Baekhyun aside.

"Hey, let's go!"

Byun Baekhyun was still a little dazed when his friend pulled him a few steps forward.

Meanwhile, Kim Tae-yeon and the other two were still discussing their afternoon recording session.

As the joyful voice of Chen Yan spoke of him, Byun Baekhyun paused in his steps, which were being pulled along by Kim Jongin.

He knew who Xiao Yan was, the one Kim Tae-yeon was talking about—the one who wrote the title track for Girls' Generation's new album.

Because it was related to Kim Tae-yeon, he made a point of looking into it a couple of days ago and found out that she was just a young person who had just graduated from university.

At this moment, Kim Tae-yeon and the other two finished their meal, picked up their trays, and got up to leave the cafeteria.

A complex mix of anger, resentment, and jealousy made Byun Baekhyun feel like he was holding his breath.

He watched Kim Tae-yeon's retreating figure, wanting to shout, but he still retained his composure, and in the end only managed to utter one sentence:
"He just got lucky and wrote a song. What's so great about that? I'm no worse than him."

These words drifted into Kim Tae-yeon's ears as she took a few steps forward.

She paused, her two arched eyebrows slightly raised.

He then took a deep breath and turned to Choi Soo-young with a smile, saying, "Soo-young, could you get me my tray?"

"okay."

Choi Soo-young blankly accepted Kim Tae-yeon's plate.

She felt that her short team leader's aura had changed instantly.

Beside him, Lee Soon-kyu sighed and rubbed his forehead, thinking to himself, "If you don't court death, you won't die."

Kim Tae-yeon smiled and thanked her again, then turned around, her smile vanishing instantly as she walked towards Byun Baek-hyun.

Seeing the senior walking towards him with a blank expression, and feeling his cold and intimidating aura, Kim Jongin subconsciously let go of Byun Baekhyun's hand and took several steps back.

He was practically raising his hands and saying, "This has nothing to do with me, I don't know him."

Meanwhile, Baekhyun, the target, showed a panicked expression, his pupils trembled violently, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

He quickly said, "Thailand."

"Snapped"

Byun Baekhyun looked dazed.

The next second, a burning pain shot through his left cheek, and he finally realized what was happening, his body beginning to tremble.

He felt as if the slap had made him deaf, and he couldn't hear a sound.

And this was indeed not his imagination.

As soon as Kim Tae-yeon slapped him, everyone in the cafeteria seemed to freeze in place, staring blankly at the scene.
