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

Chapter 353 Can You Break Up with Taeyeon? (3000-word chapter)
The underground parking garage on the basement level.

Peach jogged over and got into Kim Tae-yeon's car.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, unnie. Let's go."

"It's fine."

Kim Tae-yeon, in the driver's seat, glanced at the car through the rearview mirror, narrowed her eyes slightly, then smiled and replied before starting the car.

Peach smiled back and was about to pick up her phone when she saw Lin Yoona in the passenger seat suddenly turn around and hand her a tissue, smiling with narrowed eyes:

"Wipe your mouth, Zhenli. I'll touch up my makeup later; my lipstick is all smudged."

"Oh, thank you, unnie."

A blush instantly spread across her fair face. Peach reached out and took the tissue, as if she was a little afraid to look at Lim Yoona.

Lim Yoona didn't say much, just smiled and turned around.

Behind her, the girl took out her personal makeup mirror and wiped the smudged lipstick off her lips.

However, he secretly glanced at the two unnies in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, I made a point of not reapplying my lipstick, otherwise, if those two unnies asked me what I had been doing up there, I would have had a hard time explaining it.

She had no choice; she didn't want to lie to those two unnies, so she had to use her wits.

She wiped the lipstick off the corner of her mouth, then reapplied it to her lips before putting away the small mirror.

Suddenly, Kim Tae-yeon, who was driving, asked, "Jinri, why did you give Xiaoyan that gift?"

The girl paused for a moment, then immediately smiled and replied.

"I suddenly thought of that a couple of days ago. I heard that many couples have given similar gifts, and I thought it was very interesting, so I decided to make one."

She wasn't lying; that was indeed her idea for the gift. It's just that the words on it are open to interpretation.

"Oh, that's how it is."

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah glanced at Peach's smiling face in the rearview mirror and nodded thoughtfully.

Behind her, seeing that the two older girls had stopped talking, Momo turned her head to look out the window again.

Remembering what her oppa had said to her upstairs, a happy smile crept onto her lips.

The girl wrinkled her upturned nose and muttered softly, "Stupid oppa."

Thinking of the "oppa exclusive coupon" that I had modified, I chuckled to myself.

Hehe, I wonder if oppa will use that coupon in the future, but he probably will~
The next morning.

Driving the BMW coupe that Lin Yoona bought for him, Chen Yan arrived at JYP, got out of the car and closed the door.

He had only taken two steps when Choi Minhyuk's voice came from behind him: "Chen Yan."

Chen Yan turned his head, and Choi Minhyuk walked over with a smile.

"Morning."

"morning."

After exchanging greetings, Choi Minhyuk caught a glimpse of the BMW gleaming in the sunlight and immediately raised an eyebrow.

"You changed your car? What about that Mercedes? Did you sell it?"

"at home."

"at home?"

Choi Minhyuk paused for a moment, then realized something: "This car wasn't a birthday gift from your family, was it?"

"Yeah, pretty much."

A beautiful image flashed through his mind, and Chen Yan smiled: "It was a gift from my girlfriend."

"Mo? Girlfriend?"

Choi Minhyuk widened his eyes slightly, looking at the brand-new BMW sports car and then at Chen Yan's back, who had already walked a few steps away.

hiss.

No way, this guy really hooked up with a rich woman?

After arriving at the work floor and greeting a few colleagues, I sat down at my workstation to start working.

The OST I wrote for "Don't Forget Me" for Bae Suzy's drama "Gu Family Book" was completed yesterday and sent to the production team.

When communicating with the director and screenwriter, Chen Yan also mentioned the source of his inspiration for the OST and his wish for Bae Suzy to sing the OST.

The director and screenwriter agreed after only a brief consideration.

Bae Suzy, as the female lead, is very popular and is an idol, so having her sing an OST would be a great promotional point.

With this OST finished, Chen Yan only has two songs left to complete.

One song was originally planned for the re-release of Girl's Day's first full-length album, and the other is a song that I'm preparing to write for EXO's first full-length album repackage.

SM Entertainment sent a work email a while ago, setting the deadline for submitting the song at the end of April, which is plenty of time.

On the other hand, Girl's Day's deadline is April 15th, which leaves only about ten days, so the time is a bit tight.

It's now essentially a choice between two options.

If I decide to write a song for Girl's Day, I'll have to dedicate myself to it for the next ten days or so, and I won't be able to focus on EXO as well.

In that case, there's no guarantee that a song for EXO will be written by the end of the month.

Moreover, he hadn't had much inspiration for the song for Girl's Day, which delayed his start to write it.

On the contrary, the OST for "Gu Family Book" was inspired first and completed ahead of time.

With a light tap of his fingers on the table, Chen Yan decided to give up on Girl's Day without much hesitation.

On one side are small and medium-sized entertainment companies like Dream Tea Entertainment, and on the other side is an industry leader like SM Entertainment.

It seems that writing songs for the latter is more beneficial.

Having made his decision, he opened his email, edited it, and sent it to Dream Tea Entertainment. Since they were accepting songs from the entire industry, even if he didn't write any himself, he could still get songs from others.

After sending the email, Chen Yan started thinking about the song for EXO.

With the concept of a proper first album already established, subsequent albums continued this concept, which to some extent indicated the direction of the creative process.

Following this line of thought, he quickly immersed himself in the creative process.

Chen Yan was busy until the end of the workday. When it was time to leave, he skillfully saved the file, shut down his computer, and got up.

As I slung my backpack over my shoulder, my phone beeped with a message notification.

I picked up my phone; it was a message from Jessica Jung.

Sikanuna: [Location]

Sikanuna: See you here at 8:30 p.m.

I glanced at the location; it was a coffee shop in Gangnam District.

Chen Yan replied with a "yes".

Seeing that the message had been read, Jessica Jung didn't send any more messages. He put away his phone and walked towards the elevator.

Two hours later, a dozen minutes before 8:30.

A coffee shop in Gangnam District.

Chen Yan pushed open the door of the coffee shop and walked in. He explained the information about the private room that Zheng Xiuyan had booked to the staff who came to greet him, and then followed the staff up to the second floor, arriving at the door of a private room.

Jessica Jung hadn't arrived yet, so Chen Yan went into the private room, ordered an iced Americano and lemonade from the staff, and then sat down in the room, scrolling through his phone while waiting for Jessica Jung to come over.

About five minutes later, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Jessica Jung, wearing a mask, walked in.

"Sikanuna".

Chen Yan quickly stood up and greeted her with a smile, though his smile seemed a little unnatural.

He and this older sister have now developed a "lip friendship" relationship.

And since both of them remembered it, the meeting was still somewhat awkward.

"Ah."

When he greeted her, Jessica Jung simply responded with a faint sound, her face hidden behind a mask, so her expression was not visible.

She sat down opposite Chen Yan. The door to the private room opened again, and the waiter put down the coffee and lemonade that Chen Yan had ordered before leaving.

Jessica Jung took off her mask, didn't look at Chen Yan or say anything, and just took a small sip of her iced Americano.

Across from him, Chen Yan didn't know how to start a conversation, so he picked up his lemonade and drank it.

The private room fell silent for a moment.

While sipping her iced Americano, Jessica Jung kept observing Chen Yan across from her.

Why isn't this scumbag saying anything? Do I have to take the initiative to speak up again this time?

But she didn't know how to bring it up, and she kept drinking coffee to ease her awkwardness.

Despite how direct she was on the phone yesterday, for some reason, as the meeting date approached, her nervousness grew stronger.

On her way here, she kept thinking about the scene of meeting Chen Yan later.

She wondered what the man's reaction would be when he saw her—would he be all smiles, embarrassed and unable to look at her, or preoccupied?

She was still thinking about what they should say after they sat down, how the man would resolve the situation, and so on.
As she got closer to the private room, her nervousness grew stronger, to the point that she could hardly breathe.

It wasn't until she stood at the door of the private room, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open that her nervousness subsided considerably after Chen Yan greeted her.

But now this scumbag has suddenly stopped talking.

Say something, don't think I'm waiting for you to speak just because I look so calm.

Time ticked by, and just as Jessica Jung was about to speak, unable to bear the atmosphere any longer.

Chen Yan, on the other end, spoke first: "Nuna, do you remember everything that happened last night?"

"Ah."

Holding her coffee, Jessica Jung gave a nonchalant reply, glanced at Chen Yan, and suppressed the urge to roll her eyes.

Last night, she was the one who took the initiative the whole time, kissing me and getting close to me.
She was the one who ultimately withdrew and let go when she didn't receive a response; how could she possibly forget?

Thinking about this still makes her somewhat angry.

He's clearly a scumbag who's cheating on his wife with three women, but how does he manage to remain completely silent when his partner makes the first move?

As a scumbag, shouldn't he have taken advantage of the situation and then used the excuse that the woman had taken the initiative the night before to get back at her the next day?

Even if we take into account that Lee Soon-kyu and the others were there at the time, we could have at least given them a response.

Then, after waking up the next day, use this incident to tease yourself and further win her over.

But what about the results?

The result was that the man simply ran away the next day, leaving him alone to face the sudden appearance of Kim Tae-yeon.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and Jessica Jung's eyes were filled with anger as she looked at Chen Yan across from her.

"cough cough"

Noticing the older woman's gaze, Chen Yan couldn't help but cough twice to compose himself before tentatively asking:

"Nuna, so what do you think?"

What do you think?

Jessica Jung had actually thought about this question on her way here.

Moreover, she felt that her solution was quite reasonable.

She took a sip of her iced Americano and slowly asked, "Can you break up with Taeyeon?"
