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

Chapter 291 Jessica Jung in Action
As night fell, in f(x)'s dormitory in Cheongdam-dong.

The door opened, and Choi Sulli, who had just finished showering, walked in. She then met Jung Soo-jung's gaze as she leaned against the headboard of the bed and smiled at her.

A second later, their eyes met.

Sulli kicked off her slippers and got into bed, while Krystal Jung appeared to be looking at her phone again, but her eyes were actually somewhat dazed and lost in thought.

From morning until now, the scene of Chen Yan and Cui Xueli interacting that she saw in the morning has been constantly replaying in her mind.

If it were just this, she might have some doubts at most, and then finally convince herself by saying that their relationship went beyond ordinary intimacy and reached something like a brother-sister relationship.

After all, even she herself thought the conclusion she reached that morning was outrageous.

However, as more details from the past surfaced as she delved deeper into her thoughts, Krystal Jung could no longer comfort herself with those words.

Perhaps Chen Yan and Sulli are in a relationship, and Sulli may have acted voluntarily knowing that Taeyeon and Chen Yan were already together.

Chen Yan is a two-faced bastard who's a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Looking back on Choi Sulli's behavior during this period, especially after learning that Chen Yan and Taeyeon were together, she not only failed to keep a proper distance from Chen Yan, but also continued to contact him almost every day.

There were also two sentences she had said to herself before.

"Soojung, I'm not your rival in love. If you see me as your rival, then you might not be suitable to be with oppa."

"Soojung, if you observe the people around oppa carefully, you'll understand what I mean by this."

These two sentences instantly sealed Jung Soo-jung's conclusion.

The girl wasn't stupid; on the contrary, she was very clever. As long as she got a slightly clear clue, she could immediately deduce the general facts based on that clue.

However, she instinctively refused to accept this conclusion and subconsciously tried to deny it again and again.

After a flurry of thoughts, Krystal pursed her lips, turned to look at Sulli, and finally spoke in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Shirley."

"Hmm?" Choi Sulli turned her head and responded.

"Can I ask you a question?"

She decided to ask for clarification anyway.

Rather than being heartbroken after learning the truth, she didn't want to be someone who might have guessed the truth but didn't dare to verify it, instead deceiving herself.

"sure."

Choi Sulli blinked, got up from the bed, and sat down beside her: "What do you want to ask?"

After hesitating for a moment, Krystal looked at her and slowly asked, "What exactly is your relationship with Chen Yan? It's not just a simple close relationship, is it?"

Choi Sulli paused for a moment, then came to her senses, looked at her and smiled, a hint of barely perceptible relief in her smile.

“My relationship with oppa is the same as his relationship with Taeyeon unnie.”

Upon hearing this, Krystal's hands, which were resting on the blanket, suddenly gripped the corner of the blanket tightly, trembling slightly, and her two delicate eyebrows furrowed together instantly.

She took a few deep breaths, then spoke again, her voice filled with barely suppressed anger:
"Do you know what you're doing? Chen Yan is already with Taeyeon unnie, how could you..."

"Taeyeon unnie knows too."

Before she could finish speaking, Krystal Jung's surging anger abruptly stopped, and her eyes widened.

"What did you say?!"

Sulli smiled calmly: "I said Taeyeon unnie knows about me and oppa, she knows it from beginning to end."

Still with that dazed expression, Krystal Jung remained in a daze for a long time.

Choi Sulli didn't say anything more, giving her time to process the information.

After a long while, the girl came to her senses and asked again, seemingly uncertainly, "Does Taeyeon unnie know too?"

"Yes, Unnie knows too."

Choi Sulli nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Soojung, I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that Taeyeon unnie and I agreed that we wouldn't tell you unless someone close to us noticed and asked us."

Krystal Jung's pupils were still somewhat unfocused. After a long while, she replied softly, "You didn't deliberately hide it from me. You had already reminded me, but I just didn't realize it."

She hadn't expected that Sulli's words didn't mean what she thought. She had originally thought that Sulli's two sentences meant that she was betraying Taeyeon behind her back, but she hadn't expected it to mean coexistence.

Her anger subsided instantly, and Jung Soo-jung's pupils refocused as she looked at Choi Sulli, unable to speak for a long time.

Just now, many questions flashed through her mind, such as why the two of them would accept this kind of thing, and why they would still like a scumbag like Chen Yan.

But for some reason, she didn't want to ask anymore; it was as if nothing mattered anymore.

The expected sadness didn't come, but I felt a strange emptiness in my heart.

The girl fell silent for a moment.

After a long silence, she said softly, "Shirley, I want to stay at my unnie's place tonight."

Choi Sulli paused for a moment, then quickly replied, "Oh, okay."

Then she got up from the bedside and stood by watching Krystal get up and change her clothes without saying a word, only saying something before she left the room:
"Soojung, remember to let me know when you arrive. Be careful on the road."

"understood."

The girl's soft response and the sound of the door closing followed one after the other.

Choi Sulli stood there, looking at the closed door, and sighed softly.

That's fine too. In the end, whether she stays or leaves is up to Krystal herself.

They took a taxi all the way back to the apartment that Jessica Jung rented, the same apartment where she had brought Chen Yan over once before.

As soon as I opened the door and went inside, I found the lights were on.

She paused for a moment, then quickly took a deep breath and adjusted her expression and demeanor.

Then, while changing her shoes, she called out into the house, "Unnie, are you home?"

A second later, a response came from the living room: "Oh, I'm here."

Immediately afterward, footsteps sounded, and Jessica Jung, dressed in pajamas, appeared at the entrance.

"Why did you come back suddenly?"

Krystal Jung replied casually, "It's nothing. I don't have any schedules tomorrow morning, so I was just thinking of coming home to stay."

"Oh."

Jessica Jung didn't suspect anything.

"Where's Unnie? Why are you back?"

"Oh? Oh, I came back to get some clothes and I'll stay here for the night."

Jessica Jung blinked, subconsciously raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, and replied.

Krystal Jung didn't suspect anything either. She nodded and then pretended to be tired as she walked towards her room.

"I'm going to rest now, unnie, you should go to sleep early too."

"okay."

The door closed, and Jessica Jung, who was standing there, breathed a slight sigh of relief before walking back to the living room and sitting down on the sofa.

She picked up her phone from the coffee table, unlocked the screen, and saw her chat history with Chen Yan.

Actually, she was thinking about how to get close to Chen Yan before Jung Soo-jung came back, but she was surprised when Jung Soo-jung suddenly returned.

We mustn't let her know about this.

Pulling herself out of her thoughts, she looked down at her phone screen at the chat history between her and Chen Yan.

Judging from the timeline, the last time the two chatted was when they were recording "I Got a Boy".

"Thank goodness, although we haven't chatted on the phone, we exchanged a token greeting the last few times we met, so that jerk probably didn't notice anything."

After thinking for a moment, Jessica Jung tapped her fingers on the keyboard and sent a message to Chen Yan.

"Xiaoyan, are you free tomorrow? I have something I'd like to talk to you about. Can we meet?"
