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

Chapter 233 It was only because Taeyeon didn't have time that she had a chance.
A dozen minutes later, Chen Yan, who had taken a quick shower in the men's bathroom, changed his clothes and came out.

He felt his body smelled a bit sweaty, so he took a quick shower.

He wasn't surprised that he didn't see Krystal Jung; it's normal for girls to move a little slower.

Chen Yan sat down in the rest area outside, scrolling through his phone while quietly waiting for the girl to come out.

About twenty minutes later, a soft, sweet voice sounded in my ear: "Let's go."

Chen Yan looked up and saw a fair face with a slight blush, which clearly indicated that she had taken a bath.

The original cropped sports vest was replaced with a gray sweatshirt, and the bottom was a pair of loose beige trousers, giving off a casual and lazy vibe.

Noticing the man's scrutinizing gaze, Jung Soo-jung's eyes flickered slightly.

She had taken a proper shower inside, but after changing her clothes, she inevitably still had a bit of body odor.

If Chen Yan smells this while we're in the car, I'll be in big trouble.

Krystal Jung would never accept being smelled as sweaty by someone she likes.

"Okay, let's go."

Chen Yan agreed, put away his phone, and stood up to walk side by side with Jung Soo-jung towards the door.

As he walked, he looked the girl up and down again: "Aren't you dressed a little too lightly? It's quite cold outside."

The temperature in Seoul in December has dropped to single digits, and he himself is wearing a down jacket, while Krystal Jung's current clothes are clearly from the previous season.

"It's okay, I'll be back in my car soon anyway. Your car isn't parked far away, is it?"

"It's not far, it's right next to the road."

"That's good."

Krystal Jung put on a hat and mask, waved her hand dismissively.

This bit of cold is nothing compared to the cold that female celebrities experience at the end of the year, walking the red carpet at various award ceremonies and events in beautiful but freezing gowns.

The two went downstairs and quickly returned to their car.

The first thing Chen Yan did after getting into the car was to turn on the air conditioning.

Jung Soo-jung, who had just gotten into the passenger seat, noticed the man's action and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

This bastard is truly exceptional in some details, far surpassing the men from the peninsula.

It's just a pity that this man is now Taeyeon unnie's, and she can't enjoy the treatment that only girlfriends get.

For example, right now, she can't hint to Chen Yan to help her fasten her seatbelt; she has to do it herself.

Choi Sulli: I can ask oppa to tie it for me.

Are you going back to your dorm, Soojung?

"Ah."

"Okay, let's go."

After confirming the destination, Chen Yan didn't ask any further questions and started the car directly.

He knew the way to f(x)'s dorm like the back of his hand; he didn't even need navigation to know how to get there.

In the passenger seat, Krystal Jung was looking around at the car.

This was her first time riding in Chen Yan's car.

This is the car that I've never ridden in before, but that I'm often asked about in my life—the car that Taeyeon unnie bought for the man next to her.

Chen Yan: I want to emphasize again, it's not buying, it's borrowing.

After carefully examining the area, Krystal Jung withdrew her gaze.

There's nothing special about it, it's just that the car decorations are exactly the same as Taeyeon's, and I can afford it. Thinking this, she couldn't help but glance at Chen Yan in the driver's seat.

Hmph, if I really have the chance to be with this man in the future, I'll buy him an Audi, the top-of-the-line one.

While her mind was wandering with wild thoughts, the girl couldn't help but yawn.

Chen Yan noticed her out of the corner of his eye and turned to look at her: "Are you sleepy?"

"Kind of."

Krystal squinted her eyes: "I've been running around all morning, and after that I went to the gym. Now that the air conditioning is blowing on me, I'm starting to feel sleepy."

"Since you've been running around all morning, why don't you just go back to your dorm and rest this afternoon?"

It was a perfectly normal question, but Krystal immediately pouted and said, "I just want to exercise for a while, is that not allowed?"

His tone carried a hint of barely perceptible resentment.

She turned her head to look out the car window, her cheeks puffed out a little.

She would never say that she saw a coffee shop on the roadside on her way back to the dormitory and suddenly remembered a series of memories with this man.

Indeed, most of her memories with Chen Yan are related to coffee.

When they first met, she accidentally bumped into him because of a sasaeng fan, spilling his coffee. She then made up a cup for him, and that's how their connection began.

Later, I gave Chen Yan a voice recorder as a housewarming gift at a coffee shop near his home.

There was also the coffee Chen Yan bought for her in the practice room that suited her taste, and that night, she also received the answer that led to her heartbreak in a coffee shop.

So when Krystal Jung saw the coffee shop, it brought back painful memories and immediately put her in a bad mood.

After going back to her dorm to get her clothes, she went straight to the gym, hoping to vent her frustration by exercising.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Chen Yan, who had come from the same place.

Strangely enough, after seeing Chen Yan, her initial gloomy mood vanished instantly, replaced by indescribable joy.

Thinking of this, Krystal Jung couldn't help but curse herself for being so useless.

Chen Yan, who was standing next to her, had no idea about the girl's inner thoughts at that moment. Just then, the traffic light turned red, so he stopped the car and turned to look at Jung Soo-jung.

"Why don't you take a nap? I'll wake you up when we get to the dorm."

Krystal shook her head: "No need, we'll be there soon anyway."

The gym isn't far from the dorm; it takes about fifteen minutes if there's no traffic.

Chen Yan nodded, the red light turned green, and he started the car and continued driving forward.

Krystal Jung stopped looking out the window and started chatting with Chen Yan.

The girl suddenly realized that she didn't know when the next opportunity for the two of them to be alone would come, so she had to cherish the time she had now.

It was only because Taeyeon unnie was so busy during this period that she had this opportunity.

When they talked about how it was the weekend and men had a whole day to rest, Krystal Jung's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had just thought of something.

But after glancing at Chen Yan, she hesitated whether to speak.

The girl's lips parted slightly, then pursed again, repeating this several times.

As they were almost at their dorm, Krystal suddenly cursed herself inwardly:
"Aish, Jung Soo-jung, it's because you kept hesitating that you were kicked out of the game before you even got a chance to play, without even having a chance to compete."

After finishing his rant, a surge of courage welled up within him, and the words he had been trying to utter for so long finally escaped his lips:

"If you're free tonight, how about we grab some dinner together?"

She and Chen Yan have indeed never had a meal together yet.
