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

Chapter 241 Is this karma for being a scumbag? (Seeking double monthly votes!)

Chen Yan glanced furtively to his left.

Yoona had a bright smile on her face, seemingly very interested in the topic he and Soon-kyu were discussing, and she even leaned half her body to the side while sitting at an angle.

But Chen Yan felt that she was trying to block the left hand that was reaching towards his waist.

Seeing Chen Yan gasp in pain, Lin Yoona stopped moving her hand and left it resting on the man's waist.

She didn't do this because she was angry or anything; she just noticed Kim Tae-yeon's actions on the other side, so she gave Chen Yan a nudge as well.

What Taeyeon unnie can do, I can do too.

Kim Tae-yeon also noticed Im Yoon-ah's movements, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on the man's waist.

"hiss"

Chen Yan gasped even more sharply than before.

Lee Soon-kyu looked at him with some curiosity: "Xiao Yan, is your neck twitching again?"

"Yes, yes, it was the left side just now, but this time it's the right side."

"Oh dear, this seems to be happening a bit too often. Xiao Yan, are you calcium deficient? Why don't you go back and take some calcium supplements?"

"Okay, I will, thank you Sunny noona."

Chen Yan responded, but the smile on his face was still somewhat forced.

He noticed that Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah seemed to be competing with each other around his waist, and it was getting increasingly intense.

It's a bit like one person finishes their turn and the other takes the stage; as soon as one of them stops kneading, the other starts kneading harder.

Chen Yan felt like he was experiencing both extremes of pain and pleasure.

Although both of them were still careful and the pain wasn't too intense, they still couldn't withstand being hit like this every now and then.

A moment later, Chen Yan suddenly stood up.

This stop immediately drew the attention of everyone in the waiting room.

Facing everyone's gaze, Chen Yan quickly forced a smile: "I've been bothering you here for a long time, so I won't bother you any longer. You must be quite busy preparing for tonight's performance."

He really couldn't stay here any longer; if he did, he was afraid he would lose all the flesh around his waist.

As if by prior arrangement, the door to the waiting room opened, and a staff member from the singing competition poked his head in and said:
"Girls' Generation's final rehearsal preparation."

"Oh well."

The agent responded and then looked at the members: "Get ready to go to the rehearsal, kids."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, gave Kim Tae-yeon a smile, and gestured for her to go ahead and get busy.

Kim Tae-yeon secretly pursed her lips and called the members to go to rehearsal.

As Lin Yoona passed by Chen Yan, she wrinkled her little upturned nose at him, and Chen Yan returned a big smile.

Unbeknownst to them, Lee Soon-kyu glanced at his and Im Yoon-ah's backs, then turned to look at the sofa, a glint of cunning flashing in her eyes.

As Chen Yan followed the rest of the group out of the waiting room, he smiled and watched them leave.

After the others had walked away, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he took a slight breath and frowned.

He raised his hands and touched both sides of his waist, then gave a wry smile.

Is this karma for being a scumbag?
Shaking his head, Chen Yan glanced around at the still numerous people around him, then took out his phone and sent a message to one of Kakao's pinned profile pictures.

Since we're all backstage, we definitely have to go see Peach.

Chen Yan: Peach, are you in the waiting room backstage at the Song Festival?
Peach [heart]: I'm here, what's up, oppa?

Chen Yan: I'm backstage right now. Are you free?

Peach [heart emoji]: !

Peach [heart]: Oppa, where are you now?

Chen Yan glanced back: I'm standing at the door of Girls' Generation's waiting room.

Peach [heart]: Okay, oppa, wait there for a moment, I'll be right there.

After replying with an "OK" emoji, Chen Yan put down his phone, stood there, and smiled.

Suddenly remembering something, his expression changed, and he subconsciously raised his hand to touch his waist, but quickly relaxed again. He had really overthought things; Peach wouldn't do that to him.

Meanwhile, in the standby room of f(x).

Choi Sulli put down her phone with a smile, glanced at her manager not far away, her eyes darted around, and she quickly came up with a reason.

Just as I was about to get up and walk over, I caught a glimpse of Krystal Jung looking down at her phone. After thinking for a moment, I leaned closer and whispered:

"Soojung, oppa is backstage right now, do you want to come with me to see him?"

"Oppa? Which oppa?"

Krystal looked up at her, frowned slightly in confusion, and then realized what she meant: "Chen Yan?"

Choi Sulli nodded.

Krystal Jung silently put away her phone: "Then let's go meet her. It's not appropriate for you to go alone. It would be bad if any rumors spread."

Hey, she even found a plausible reason for herself.

Choi Sulli smiled, not exposing her for putting away her phone faster than anyone else, and pulled her up to walk to the manager's side.

"Unnie, can I go chat with IU unnie with Krystal?"

My best friend is the MC for tonight's music competition, how can I not use such a good shield?

Lee Ji-eun: Is there anywhere else on my body that I could stick an arrow in?

"Go ahead, but remember to come back soon."

The manager nodded. She knew about the relationship between Choi Sulli and Lee Ji-eun. Moreover, f(x)'s final rehearsal was over, and there was nothing else to do. They just had to wait for the performance to officially begin.

"We won't be gone for too long, thank you unnie."

Sulli smiled sweetly at her manager, then pulled Krystal Jung out of the waiting room and headed straight for Girls' Generation's waiting room.

As the two walked around a corner, Choi Sulli immediately saw a familiar figure standing not far away.

The girl's eyes lit up, and she was about to call out when she remembered where she was.

She glanced at the scattered groups of people nearby, suppressed her joy, and pulled Jung Soo-jung along, quickening her pace as they walked over.

Krystal, who was being pulled along, glanced at her with a hint of helplessness.

Although I know you also like Chen Yan, could you please be a little more reserved? It's such a short distance, walking a little slower won't make a difference.

Thinking this to herself, she walked at a pace no slower than Choi Sulli.

"oppa~"

Chen Yan, who was looking down at his phone, heard a soft, sweet voice. He looked up and immediately smiled: "Peach."

He also noticed Krystal Jung standing next to him and greeted her with a smile: "Krystal is here too."

Krystal ignored his greeting and instead frowned slightly as she looked at the two of them: "Peach?"

Why does Chen Yan call Shirley that in private?

Sulli smiled naturally: "Yeah, Peach is my nickname, you know that too. Ji-eun also likes to call me that. She even wrote that song, and the melody was composed by oppa, so oppa calls me that too."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Upon hearing her say that, Krystal Jung remembered, and her doubts vanished instantly.

Her eyes swept over the sign above the waiting room behind her that read "Girls' Generation," and her expression immediately changed.

"Did you just come from my unnie and the others' waiting room?"

Chen Yan nodded: "Yes, but they just went to rehearsal and aren't in the waiting room."

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, Krystal Jung breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that her unnie isn't here. She and Chen Yan have completely broken off their relationship with Jessica Jung now.

If she were to see this, she'd be furious.
