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

Chapter 257 Goodbye, Deer and Peach
Time flies, and it's already the end of January.

That morning, Chen Yan walked into the JYP building with a smile on his face.

This month has been a very rewarding one for him.

First of all, the song "I Got a Boy" did very well, ranking well on music charts and performing equally well on music shows.

He won three consecutive first place on both M! Countdown and Music Bank.

Furthermore, it achieved a perfect score of 1000, setting a new record for the highest score since the show's premiere, and also becoming the first perfect score in the show's history.

The song received a very good response in Europe and America, and was praised by many well-known media outlets such as Billboard and MTV.

This is clearly a huge amount of income.

Chen Yan is now very much looking forward to the music revenue sharing for this quarter.

Then there's "Baby Don't Cry," a song he had previously submitted to SM Entertainment. SM Entertainment replied a couple of days ago that the song would be included in EXO's first full-length album.

Although it wasn't the main focus as expected, being included is still an achievement, and it also represents a considerable income.

Finally, Chen Yan agreed to work with Acube on the title track for Apink's third mini-album, and he already has an idea and is currently composing the music.

In addition, he also had the inspiration for a song in his mind.

This inspiration came from Sulli.

Ever since the day she visited the set of Girls' Generation and chatted with him at home, this girl has frequently brought up her first love whenever she talks to him.

He even gave himself the nickname "Sweet First Love Oppa".

This instantly filled him with shame, and he immediately ordered the girl to take back the nickname.

This girl clearly came up with this nickname just to tease him.

However, talking about first love reminded Chen Yan of the sad first love story that Krystal Jung had told him before.

One is sweet, the other is heartbroken, perfectly representing the two states of first love. Combining these two elements sparked an idea.

Chen Yan even felt that she could use the concept of "first love" to create an album.

This idea stemmed from the fact that he spent most of his time at JYP during this period participating in the specific planning and discussions for 2AM's Korean album in March, and his thinking was progressing towards that of an album producer.

However, that was just an idea of ​​his; right now, he still needed to write the song first.

"Ding"

The elevator doors opened at the office floor, and Chen Yan stepped out, replying to Kim Tae-yeon's messages on his phone.

Girls' Generation's promotional activities ended yesterday, and they will have a short two-day break next.

However, they immediately had to start preparing for the concert.

Girls' Generation will officially begin their second tour in Japan on February 9th, which will continue until April. They will be visibly very busy again.

Chen Yan felt helpless about this. He sat at his workstation and chatted with the woman for a while, agreeing to meet her at home in the afternoon.

I guess we won't have many chances to meet again once I get busy, so I should cherish this sister's two days of rest.

He plans to take advantage of these two days to have a deep and multi-faceted emotional exchange with this older woman.

Putting his phone aside, Chen Yan leaned back in his chair, a smile playing on his lips as he let out a soft sigh.

He feels like he's achieving success in both his career and love life.

His career is progressing steadily, his popularity is gradually increasing, and he is also learning how to become an album producer.

In terms of love, he has Kim Tae-yeon as his older sister, Choi Sulli as his sweet little peach, and...
A smiling face reappeared in his mind, and the smile on Chen Yan's lips gradually faded.

He reached for his phone and looked at it thoughtfully.

It seems like Yoona hasn't chatted with him during this period.

Thinking of what Choi Sulli said that day about Lim Yoona knowing about their relationship, Chen Yan subconsciously frowned slightly.

A few seconds later, she relaxed and chuckled self-deprecatingly. One shouldn't be too greedy; one must know how to be content.

After gathering his thoughts and letting out a sigh of relief, he then immersed himself in composing the new song.

A few hours later, around 2 p.m., in a private room of a coffee shop in Cheongdam-dong.

Lin Yoona sat alone in the private room, staring blankly at the coffee in front of her.

The door to the private room was then pushed open, and a tall figure walked in.

Hearing the noise, Lim Yoona snapped out of her daze, turned to look at the person who had taken off her mask and walked over, and smiled: "Sulli."

"Yoona-unnie."

Choi Sulli smiled and responded, then sat down opposite Lim Yoona.

"I ordered you a hot coffee."

"Thank you, Ernie."

Choi Sulli picked up the hot coffee in front of her and took a sip.

Seeing this, Lim Yoona smiled and casually started a conversation: "Sulli has started drinking hot coffee now?"

Even in winter, very few people on the peninsula drink hot coffee.

“Oppa told me not to drink iced drinks in winter because they are bad for my stomach, so I switched to drinking hot drinks.”

Lim Yoona paused for a moment.

So it was because of Chen Yan. Well, they are boyfriend and girlfriend now.

A faint discomfort rose in her heart, and then Choi Sulli's voice rang out again:
"Unnie, you're drinking hot coffee too."

Upon hearing this, Lim Yoona subconsciously glanced down at the hot coffee in front of her, just like Choi Sulli's, and was stunned again.

Suddenly, she heard the words Chen Yan had said to her in her memory.

"Yoona, you have a sensitive stomach, so try not to drink anything cold when the weather gets cold, okay? You have to drink something hot."

In her memory, Chen Yan had said these words to her many times, which gradually helped her develop the habit of drinking hot water and hot coffee.

And now, I still subconsciously maintain this habit.

Looking at his own coffee, then at the cup in front of Choi Sulli across from him, a thought suddenly popped into his mind:
Chen Yan has changed, yet it seems he hasn't changed at all.

She suddenly asked, "Does Taeyeon unnie drink hot coffee now?"

"correct."

Choi Sulli nodded, but her eyes were secretly sizing up the unnie opposite her.

She felt that this unnie seemed a little off. Was it because of what happened between her and oppa?

When the girl received the invitation from Lim Yoona in the morning, she subconsciously felt that something was going on.

She even asked Taeyeon unnie about it, and Taeyeon unnie just told her not to worry and that nothing would happen.

So Sulli came. At that moment, she wasn't exactly nervous, but she was definitely a little bit anxious.

She couldn't explain why, but she always felt a sense of oppression when facing this unnie, similar to the feeling she had when she met Taeyeon unnie before.

Across from her, Yoona snapped out of her reverie, looked up at Sulli, smiled faintly, and said:
"Shirley, can you tell me about you and Chen Yan?"

She asked Choi Sulli to meet her today for no other reason than to hear the girl talk about her relationship with Chen Yan.

After talking with Lee Soon-kyu last time, she has been in a state of confusion.

Perhaps by listening to the girl's perspective, I might find an answer myself.
