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

Chapter 182 Kim Tae-yeon: This meal is a must!
At 5:30 pm in Seoul, the sun was gradually setting in the west, and the afterglow of the sunset turned the sky orange.

Inside a van on a paved road in Seoul.

Yoona leaned her head back against the seat, her doe-like eyes shining in the sunset as she gazed out the car window, but they seemed to have lost some of their usual liveliness.

Staring blankly at the scenery rushing past the car window, memories of the period from before to after his rebirth flashed through his mind.

A moment later, the scene finally froze on the moment before he was reborn, when he first met with Chen Yan because of Kim Tae-yeon.

At the time, I really thought Chen Yan was a good person, and I was happy that Taeyeon unnie had found a good boyfriend. I fully approved of this "marriage".

But now, all she wants to do is kill her past self.

Your boyfriend was stolen by Taeyeon unnie, and you're still foolishly happy for her.

How could Chen Yan not be good? If he wasn't, why would you have been dating him for five years?

Thinking of this, Lim Yoona pursed her lips and sighed softly.

But she knew that even if she regretted it now, it would be too late.

If anyone has a culprit, it's fate.

I'm really late.

These past few days, she's sometimes thought that what Taeyeon unnie said wasn't wrong after all.

Being reborn means starting all over again.

If I were in Taeyeon's shoes, facing the person I'd always loved in my past life, and given a chance to make up for past regrets and start over, I'd probably make the same choice as her.

Moreover, who would have thought that they would be reborn?

but
Although she understood the reasoning and could comprehend it to some extent, it was only at the rational level.

If we look at it from an emotional perspective...
Lim Yoona bit her lip, picked up her phone, opened Kakao, and found the profile picture she had been hesitant to look at for the past two days.

Click on the profile picture, and a starry sky comes into view.

She subconsciously raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

You still love the starry sky.

After exiting the profile picture, I looked at the chat history between the two of us over this period.

The chat history was very short, so short that before Yoona's unconsciously upturned lips could fully disappear, the chat history had already ended.

I stared blankly at my phone screen.

After a long while, her pupils refocused, as if she had made a decision.

Let's go see him once.

After all, she hadn't even had a proper conversation with him since her rebirth.

During the last recording session, we barely exchanged a few words before I was already afraid I wouldn't be able to control my emotions and would run away.

Moreover, she also wanted to know whether she liked the future Chen Yan or the current Chen Yan.

Perhaps if I go see him once, I might finally be able to let go of the past.

After thinking for a moment, she first opened her photo album and looked at her schedule.

After confirming that I would be free tomorrow night, I opened Kakao again, clicked on Chen Yan's profile picture, and slowly tapped the virtual keyboard with my fingers.

Lim Yoona: Are you free tomorrow night? Can we have dinner together?
My finger hovered over the send button for a moment, then pressed it without hesitation.

The message was quickly read, and Chen Yan replied shortly after: Sure.

A hint of joy flashed in Lin Yoona's eyes. After thinking for a moment, she replied: "Then let's meet at the same Chinese restaurant we went to last time at 7:30 tomorrow night."

Chen Yan: Okay.

Yoona: Okay, see you tomorrow night.

After sending the message and seeing Chen Yan reply with an "OK" emoji, Lin Yoona put down her phone and turned to look out the window.

A moment later, as if suddenly remembering something, her eyes flickered again.

He picked up his phone again, found Kim Tae-yeon's profile picture, and scrolled through a chat history from a certain day.

Yoona's eyes remained silent as she turned off the screen. Unlike last time when she asked Chen Yan out for coffee, she wouldn't inform this unnie beforehand.

After thinking about it, she decided not to deliberately remind Chen Yan not to tell Kim Tae-yeon about having dinner with her the next night.

She was also quite curious to see how that unnie would react if she found out about this.

If Chen Yan knew this, he would find an excuse not to come.

Doesn't that just prove that the unnie was scared and felt guilty?

Meanwhile, in the parking lot outside the JYP building.

Chen Yan sat in the car, looking at the message Lin Yoona had sent on his phone, a look of confusion flashing across his face.

The next second, he typed back "Okay".

He was already used to Yoona suddenly asking him out.

After all, there were two previous examples to learn from.

Whether it was the first time we ate at a Chinese restaurant or the later time we went for coffee, every single time it was a spontaneous invitation.

People gradually get used to it.

So when Chen Yan saw the message, he agreed without even thinking about it, and didn't even ask what Lin Yoona wanted to talk to him about.

Anyway, she's someone I know, and she's not going to eat me. I'll find out what's going on when I get there.

Having arranged a time and place for dinner with Lin Yoona, Chen Yan didn't immediately put down his phone.

Instead, she clicked on one of the pinned profile pictures and sent a message.

Chen Yan: Noona, Yoona just said she wants to have dinner with me tomorrow night.

Although he can be considered a scumbag now, he's not the kind of scumbag who has no bottom line and does whatever he wants.

Of course, you should inform others beforehand if you go out to eat with someone of the opposite sex.

"Adu"

My phone suddenly beeped with a message notification.

Kim Tae-yeon, who was sitting on the sofa in the waiting room, looking somewhat lost in thought, snapped out of it.

She picked up her phone and glanced at it, her delicate eyebrows instantly furrowing tightly.

Yoona invited Xiaoyan to dinner?!
What does she want to do?
Subconsciously, I exited the chat window with Chen Yan and swiped down to find Lin Yoona's profile picture.

Just as I was about to click, my finger suddenly paused just before touching the screen.

No, if I ask Yoona now, wouldn't that indirectly show that I'm panicking?

Kim Tae-yeon withdrew her finger, frowned and thought for a moment, then opened her chat box with Chen Yan and replied to the message.

Kim Tae-yeon: Okay, go ahead.

Xiaoyan [Xinxin]: Nuna, you took so long to reply, is it because you don't want me to go? If you don't want me to go, I'll just find an excuse not to go.

Looking at the message, Kim Tae-yeon quickly tapped the screen: "Nothing of the sort. It was just a staff member who suddenly came to talk to me about something. We were just having a meal. Yoona is an acquaintance, so why would I not want you to go?"

She had just figured it out: Xiaoyan had to go to this meal, and she absolutely had to go.

If I don't go, Yoona will definitely think that I'm the one who stopped Xiaoyan from eating with her.

Then she'll think he's afraid of her.

This is not okay.

I'm not afraid of her.

Xiao Yan likes herself now, not Lin Yoona.

It's estimated that right now, in Xiao Yan's heart, his relationship with Yoona is not as close as his relationship with Lee Soon-kyu.

What do I have to be afraid of?

This meal is a must!
