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

Chapter 286 Is there another girl in oppa's room?

Chen Yan looked at Li Zhi'en, who suddenly stood up beside him, somewhat bewildered, not understanding why she was reacting so strongly.

Lee Ji-eun looked around the room in a panic: "Then I'll find a place to hide first."

Chen Yan was even more confused: "Why are you hiding? You and Taozi know each other, and you just said you wanted to chat with Taozi."

"Oh yeah, that's true."

The girl snapped out of her reverie, chuckled sheepishly, scratched her cheek, and slowly sat back down on the sofa.

Yeah, what's there for her to hide from? She just came to chat with this oppa, it's not like she's cheating on her best friend.

Chen Yan smiled and answered the video call that had been ringing for a while.

As soon as the video call connected, Choi Sulli's face, still adorned with exquisite makeup, appeared on the screen.

"Oppa, why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

The girl looked at Chen Yan with a hint of reproach in her bright eyes.

"Could it be that there was another girl in oppa's room, and he made her find a place to hide just now?"

Chen Yan was slightly taken aback and turned to look at Li Zhi'en beside him.

Wow, this is what best friends are like! They can even think of the same thing.

When Lee Ji-eun heard Choi Sulli's words and saw the strange look Chen Yan was giving her, her face immediately turned red.

That's so embarrassing!

On the other end of the video, Choi Sulli also noticed Chen Yan looking to the side and her eyes widened slightly.

"Oppa, are there really other girls in your room?"

The girl instinctively ruled out Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah. If it were one of those two unnies, this oppa wouldn't have reacted the way he did just now.

"Yes, and it's someone you know."

Chen Yan nodded, his expression completely calm.

He and Lee Ji-eun were just friends drinking and chatting; they didn't do anything inappropriate.

Before Choi Sulli could speak again, he turned his phone towards Lee Ji-eun.

"Knowing gratitude?!"

Good evening, Peach.

Lee Ji-eun greeted Choi Sulli on camera with a slightly unnatural smile.

"What are you doing in oppa's room?"

The girl glanced at the time in the upper left corner of her phone; it was already past 1 a.m.

"Oh, I just ran into oppa at the convenience store downstairs at the hotel, so we bought some snacks together, and then went back to the room to chat for a while."

Seeing this, Chen Yan handed his phone to Li Zhi'en: "You two chat, I'll tidy up here first."

"Oh."

Lee Ji-eun took the phone and continued chatting with Choi Sulli on the other end.

"Peach, oppa said you just finished your radio show."

"Yeah, I'm at the hotel now. I have a photoshoot at a nearby studio tomorrow morning. Ji-eun, do you have any other plans in Japan tomorrow?"

"Oh, I have several promotional events for my new song to do starting tomorrow noon and continuing into the evening, and then..."

As he spoke, he glanced to the side unintentionally, then suddenly stopped talking and stared blankly to the side.

At that moment, Chen Yan, wearing a loose sweatshirt, was bending down to collect some snack scraps from the small coffee table and put them into the trash can.

Because of his bent-over posture, the man's well-defined pectoral muscles, visible beneath his clothes, came directly into Lee Ji-eun's view.

Moreover, because of the close proximity, the girl could even vaguely see the outline of her abdomen.

This oppa seems to have abs too.

"Be grateful. Be grateful."

When Choi Sulli's voice came from the phone, Lee Ji-eun snapped back to reality.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Choi Sulli frowned in confusion: "Why did you suddenly stop looking to the side? What were you looking at?"

Look at your man's muscles.

Lee Ji-eun subconsciously replied to the question.

But when she saw Chen Yan looking up at her, she replied somewhat flusteredly, "Oh, I was just torn between eating dried fish and fish tofu."

"Oh, but why is your face suddenly so red?" Lee Ji-eun subconsciously raised her hand to touch her slightly flushed face.

"Oh, it's probably because I just drank soju, the aftereffects are kicking in now."

Did you and oppa drink again?

"Yeah, but it was very little. Oppa and I only drank one bottle of soju, and we weren't drunk at all, so you don't have to worry."

"Worried? What do I have to worry about?"

In the video, Sulli smiles sarcastically: "You should be worried about yourself. If you really get drunk, oppa will definitely throw you out."

"Mo?"

Lee Ji-eun blinked and turned to look at the man who had already tidied up the small coffee table.

"Oppa, if I really get drunk, will you really throw me out like Peach said?"

Standing up straight, Chen Yan looked at the adorable face before him and nodded without hesitation.

Seeing this, Lee Ji-eun stared wide-eyed in disbelief, pointing at herself; "Oppa, I, I'm Lee Ji-eun, IU, are you really this heartless?"

"So what if IU? Even if you're the UI, it doesn't matter. Taozi said so, so of course I'll listen to her."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"

Sulli's happy laughter came from the phone; the girl had already collapsed onto the bed laughing.

Lee Ji-eun was inexplicably fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). She looked at the man, then at her best friend in the camera, and suddenly pouted slightly.

"Hmph, you two ganged up on me."

Her tone was somewhat aggrieved, yet it also carried a hint of barely perceptible envy.

"Ji-eun, I was just kidding. Oppa didn't mean to target you. Last time I got drunk, he almost left me on the side of the road."

"Hey, Sulli, don't spread rumors! Who carried you all the way home that night?"

"Hehe, I was just joking, oppa."

Choi Sulli gave Chen Yan, who had suddenly appeared behind Lee Ji-eun, a sweet smile.

Lee Ji-eun, standing between the two:
Ugh, I've been fed another mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

No, I can't stay here any longer. The atmosphere in this room is no longer friendly to single people.

She handed the phone back to Chen Yan and stood up.

"Oppa, you and Peach can chat. It's getting late, so I'll head back now. Thank you for chatting with me so late, oppa."

Chen Yan smiled at the girl: "It's okay, we're friends, aren't we?"

Lee Ji-eun gave a goofy smile and waved to Choi Sulli in the camera's view: "I'm leaving now, Peach."

"Okay, go back and get some sleep, Ji-eun."

"understood."

Lee Ji-eun took her room key, put on her coat and mask, and left the room.

As the door closed, faint sounds of laughter and cheerful conversation could be heard coming from inside the room.

She subconsciously pursed her lips, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes again, and walked towards her room.

After returning to her room on the other side of the corridor, Lee Ji-eun closed the door and went straight to the bed, where she collapsed onto it.

A pair of eyes stared blankly at the ceiling.

After a long while, a soft murmur rang out: "Peach and oppa have a really good relationship."

Her thoughts were still drifting, and suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Lee Ji-eun's cheeks flushed red.

"Oppa's figure looks pretty good."

The outline of the pectoral muscles and the faint abdominal muscles that I had accidentally seen earlier involuntarily came to mind.

Then Chen Yan's hoodie gradually disappeared, and his well-developed chest and abdominal muscles appeared in his mind.

Lee Ji-eun suddenly snapped out of her daze and raised her hand to pat her slightly flushed face.

"Are you crazy, Lee Ji-eun? What are you thinking? That's your best friend's boyfriend!"

Although he said that, the image in his mind became clearer and clearer, and he couldn't shake it off for a while.

"Ashi."

She turned around, grabbed the blanket, and covered her burning face with it. Her two legs, which were hanging over the edge of the bed, thrashed about a few times.

"It must be because of that movie, Japan is to blame!"
