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

Chapter 273: Have the eldest and second youngest members finally reconciled?
Night was beginning to fall.

SM Entertainment, in Girls' Generation's exclusive practice room.

As the music stopped, the nine people collapsed onto the floor in twos and threes, each breathing slightly, their bangs damp with sweat.

"Oh dear, this is exhausting."

Lee Soon-kyu rubbed his leg and sighed. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure getting up and walking towards another figure.

After seeing it clearly, her eyes widened in surprise.

In her line of sight, Lim Yoona walked towards Kim Tae-yeon with her thermos in her hand, and handed the thermos to her when she got to her.

Oh my god, are these two finally going to make up? Could it be that Yoona has come to her senses and is planning to give up on romance novels?

There's nothing wrong with that. Yoona is a smart person; why would she need to date someone else?

She's still with a guy who's a bit of a jerk.

It's better to be a wise person like me and not fall in love.

Although Lee Soon-kyu didn't directly advise Im Yoon-ah to give up or not to do something foolish when they talked last time, she let her make her own choice.

However, based on her own estimation, after careful consideration, Lim Yoona would definitely not be foolish enough to knowingly rush headlong into Xiaoyan's relationship with Taeyeon and Sulli.

Yoona and Xiaoyan have only known each other for a short time, how could she possibly like him to that extent?

Now that she's taking the initiative to approach Kim Tae-yeon, it means she's figured things out.

Lin Yoona: Chen Yan made sure I understood it by the time I figured it out.

Moreover, it's a thorough connection, reaching right to the heart.

The others sitting nearby also noticed what was happening and unconsciously lowered their breathing, anticipating Kim Tae-yeon's next move.

Jessica Jung looked at the scene before her, and then, as if struck by a sudden thought, her eyes lit up.

That's great! Yoona must have seen through Chen Yan's true colors and woken up.

Now he's going to take the initiative to make amends to Taeyeon and then persuade her to break up with that jerk.

I just don’t know if it can be successful.

If it doesn't work out, I can find some time later to talk to Yoona alone and form an alliance.

Thinking of this, Jessica Jung's eyes flashed with wisdom, and she nodded slightly in deep agreement, looking as if she was impressed by her own intelligence.

Among the two people being watched, Kim Tae-yeon, who was breathing heavily with her head slightly lowered, looked up blankly when she saw the water glass that suddenly appeared in front of her.

What comes into view is Yoona's innocent smile.

"Unnie, you've been sweating a lot. Have some water, it's still warm."

"oh oh."

Kim Tae-yeon responded blankly, her mind still a bit fuzzy from just finishing dance practice.

Seeing that Kim Tae-yeon agreed, Im Yoon-a's smile brightened, and she sat down next to her.

I unscrewed the lid, poured some water into it, and handed it over.

Kim Tae-yeon reached out and took it.

Those who witnessed this scene instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, the two of them finally made up, and they no longer had to endure that strange atmosphere caught in the middle.

As she took the water, Kim Tae-yeon subconsciously felt that something was amiss.

But she was indeed a little thirsty, so she tilted her head back slightly and took a sip.

The water was perfectly fine, and the temperature was just right, perfect for drinking in the dead of winter.

The slight unease that had just arisen in my heart vanished instantly as the warm water entered my mouth.

Beside her, watching this unnie gulp down water, a triumphant smile flashed in Lim Yoona's clear, doe-like eyes.

Kim Tae-yeon finished the water in the cup lid and handed it back.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Yoona squinted her doe-like eyes, put the lid on the water glass, and said slowly and softly, "This is hot water that Chen Yan specially filled for me this morning. He told me to drink more of it. The temperature should be just right, right, unnie?"

Kim Tae-yeon, who was just about to pick up her phone, paused slightly and then turned her head sharply.

Yoona still had that irresistible smile on her face, and she couldn't have been happier inside.

Sigh, this unnie drinks the hot water Chen Yan prepared for her, and she even has to thank me. How thoughtful!
It was worth it that she deliberately chose a time when everyone had just finished dancing and their minds were still a bit fuzzy; this unnie really didn't react at all.

Hmph, that unnie acted all magnanimous yesterday and annoyed me.

Across from her, Kim Tae-yeon stared at Im Yoon-ah, who was blinking innocently, and gritted her teeth, her eyes bulging. Damn it, why didn't I realize that earlier?

This is Im Yoona, the Im Yoona whose sweeter smile is, the more painful it is to prick you.

"What's wrong, unnie? Do you want more water?"

At this moment, Yoona innocently added insult to injury.

"Humph!"

Kim Tae-yeon gave a soft snort and turned her back to her.

Out of sight out of mind.

I picked up my phone, opened Kakao, and tapped the pinned profile picture a few times.

It's all your fault! You scumbag!

As her finger fell, something suddenly occurred to her. Kim Tae-yeon's eyes darted around, and she pulled up her contacts and dialed a number.

As soon as the call connected, she immediately spoke in an overly sweet voice, "Hey, Xiaoyan, what are you doing?"

Hmph, it's just showing off their love, as if anyone can do that.

The other members of Girls' Generation paused in their work and then glanced at Kim Tae-yeon with strange expressions.

Is our team acting crazy again?

Yoona, however, stared at Tae-yeon's retreating figure, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Damn it, you damn clamp!

On the other end of the phone, listening to the strange, crackling sound coming from the receiver, Chen Yan blinked, subconsciously moved the phone away, and checked the caller ID again.

It's definitely Kim Tae-yeon's older sister, but what's with that voice?

"Xiaoyan?"

"Oh, Nuna, I'm boiling water."

Hearing the obvious nasal tone in Chen Yan's voice, Kim Tae-yeon subconsciously frowned, then immediately reverted to her original voice.

"Do you have a cold, Xiaoyan?"

"Well, it seems a little."

Chen Yan rubbed his nose and smiled helplessly.

He didn't know what was wrong. He was fine when he left home in the morning, but when he got home from get off work in the afternoon, he suddenly felt a stuffy nose.

Wait, could it be because of yesterday?
Kim Tae-yeon had obviously considered this possibility as well.

She squinted and glanced sideways at someone next to her.

The person who had been eavesdropping immediately looked away, muttering to themselves, "No way, could it really be contagious?"

Seeing this, Kim Tae-yeon pouted and let out a soft hum, her voice filled with obvious resentment:
"Hmph, you deserve it."

"Uh, hehe."

Chen Yan gave an awkward smile. He really had no way to defend himself on this matter, since he had thoroughly enjoyed it.

Yoona at 38.5℃ has a unique charm.

"Don't worry, Nuna, I'm fine. I'll just have a cup of hot water and a good night's sleep."

"Pah, who's worried about you?"

Hearing the older sister's voice as she threw a tantrum, Chen Yan smiled gently and then coaxed her softly. After promising her a lot of compensation, he finally calmed her down.

"Then you should get some rest early tonight. You should have some cold medicine at home, right?"

"Yes, Nuna, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."

"Okay, I'm going to continue practicing."

"Okay, let's talk again later."

"Hmm~"

After hanging up the phone, Kim Tae-yeon put it down with a satisfied expression.

He inadvertently met the gaze of Lim Yoona next to him.

"Humph!"

She slightly raised her chin, gave a soft hum, and then stood up to call the others to continue practicing.

Behind her, Lim Yoona watched her retreating figure, pouted, and muttered:
"Tch, childish. A reborn person, and this is all they've got?"
