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

Chapter 396 Tell me! What exactly is going on between you and Jessica Unnie?

Jessica Jung, who was still looking down and thinking about the personal studios the two had just mentioned, didn't see the exchange of glances between them and nodded subconsciously.

"Okay, I'll ask."

The next second, Yoona's voice rang in my ears again: "By the way, unnie, why did you suddenly send me, Taeyeon unnie, and Sulli photos of Chen Yan in suits that night?"

Jessica Jung was about to answer instinctively, but then suddenly realized something.

She looked up and met Yoona's smiling, doe-like eyes.

Her heart tightened instantly.

Oh no, I can't escape this after all.

Jessica Jung quickly put on a smile: "Oh, I just thought he was pretty handsome when I saw him, so I thought I'd take a picture and send it to you guys to see."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Yoona nodded, her smile suddenly widening: "That night, unnie suddenly sent me photos without saying anything. Taeyeon unnie and I were both a little surprised."

Under the table, the toes in those slippers instantly curled up in tension, while Jessica Jung tried her best to maintain a smile.

"Oh, I was too tired from the party that night, so I went straight to sleep after sending you the photos."

Yoona smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.

Seeing this, Jessica Jung was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Taeyeon Kim immediately spoke up.

"Jessica, did you and Xiaoyan go out for a stroll during your two days in Hong Kong Island?"

"No, we all slept until about noon the next day, had lunch at the hotel, and then went straight to the airport to catch our flight."

"Oh."

Afterwards, the three of them chatted about Chen Yan and Jessica Jung's time in Hong Kong, and they kept bringing up Chen Yan in every sentence.

It was mainly Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah asking questions, and Jessica Jung answering them.

Faced with their questions, Jessica Jung inexplicably felt like a prisoner being interrogated, and her back was almost sweating.

But she was genuinely guilty, so she could only force herself to keep going.

After a while, the conversation finally came to an end.

Jessica Jung waited a few seconds before casually picking up her phone, glancing at the time, and then smiling at the two of them:

"It's getting late. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Yoona blinked: "Why don't you stay at my or Taeyeon's house tonight, and I can have my manager oppa come over here tomorrow?"

Jessica Jung's smile was a little forced: "No need, I'll go back to the dorm. It's just a short drive anyway, so I won't disturb you and Xiaoyan's time. Besides, I don't have any clothes here."

She'd barely survived the interrogation; she'd have to be crazy to stay. What if she actually slipped up later?

These two are both shrewd people now; it's hard to guarantee they won't figure things out over time.

And
She glanced towards the bedroom; she had kissed Xiaoyan on Taeyeon's bed last time.

Thinking of this, she felt a pang of guilt again.

It's not our home ground, we're at a disadvantage, we should leave as soon as possible.

Kim Tae-yeon nodded: "Okay, then Jessica, be careful on the road."

"it is good."

The three of them got up. After putting on her shoes, Jessica Jung walked out of the house, pressed the elevator button, and then subconsciously glanced at Chen Yan's house across the street.

Seeing this, Kim Tae-yeon, who was standing by the door, narrowed her eyes slightly and spoke directly:

"Xiaoyan went to teach Li Zhien and hasn't come back yet."

"Oh? Oh, I see."

Upon hearing this, Jessica Jung quickly looked away and subconsciously smiled in response.

My back is really sweating now.

The elevator then arrived at the floor and opened.

"Then I'll go back first."

"it is good."

As she stepped into the elevator, the doors slowly closed, and Jessica Jung, who had been tense the whole time, immediately relaxed and let out a long sigh of relief.

Phew~ It's finally over. Luckily, I didn't give anything away.

It was so agonizing, even more tiring than a concert.

"Ding"

The elevator slowly opened as it reached the basement level.

Stepping out of the elevator, Jessica Jung walked to her car, opened the door, and got in.

Instead of starting the car and heading back to the dormitory, he sat in the driver's seat and reviewed the entire conversation between the three of them.

After confirming that everything was alright, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, she frowned again, thinking about the conversation the three of them had just had about the future.

"Taeyeon and Yoona have both thought of creating personal studios, and Taeyeon was a bit too direct just now."

Just now, Kim Tae-yeon directly asked her if she had any thoughts about leaving the group, and even brought up the suggestion of having a personal studio.

That decisiveness, that aura that had steadily suppressed her during their conversation, making her subconsciously listen quietly.

"The change is huge! He's completely different from the indecisive little guy he used to be."

Jessica Jung murmured, "Could it be because I'm dating Xiaoyan that I've become more confident?"

After a moment of contemplation, she suddenly pouted again.

"You scumbag! You're still giving lessons to Lee Ji-eun this late. You have time to teach her, but why don't you come find me?"

No!

It seems we need to step up our efforts. Right now, we have Lee Ji-eun and Bae Suzy in front, and Taeyeon and Yoona in the back who are already suspicious.

Time waits not for us!

I need to make a proper plan.

Having made her decision, Jessica Jung immediately started the car, drove out of the underground parking garage, and headed towards Girls' Generation's dorm.

Meanwhile, upstairs...

After Jessica Jung left, Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah closed the door and went inside.

"Unnie, you were so direct just now, it almost scared me."

Kim Tae-yeon sat down on the sofa with Im Yoon-ah: "I just feel that the longer Jessica's matter drags on, the more likely things will go wrong. It would be better to take advantage of the opportunity now that Xiao Yan has dealt with Quan Ningyi to give Jessica a suggestion: to take the initiative into our hands so that we can control the subsequent developments."

"really."

Yoona nodded, then suddenly laughed: "Jessica unnie was startled by your directness and decisiveness just now."

Kim Tae-yeon chuckled softly upon hearing this, and said with a hint of emotion, "We can't let those extra ten years go to waste, can we?"

Seeing this, Lim Yoona immediately smiled and hugged the unnie's arm, saying in a coquettish tone:
"Wow~ As expected of our Girls' Generation's leader."

The coquettish voice immediately pulled Kim Tae-yeon out of that mood, and she reached out and gently poked the little deer's forehead with her finger.

"Come on, if you were the captain, you might do a better job than me."

"I prefer being the second youngest to the leader. Let the leader suffer the hardships, I'll just hide behind her."

Im Yoona and this unnie (younger sister) were being all lovey-dovey again, which made Kim Tae-yeon smile helplessly and then make a self-deprecating joke.

"My height can't stop you."

"Unnie is two meters tall in my heart."

After chatting for a couple more minutes, Yoona suddenly narrowed her doe-like eyes.

"But unnie, there really is a problem between Jessica unnie and Chen Yan. There must be something we don't know about."

Upon hearing this, Kim Tae-yeon also narrowed her eyes: "Yes."

Although Jessica Jung felt she hadn't given anything away, the two of them sensed something was off from the moment she sat down and said her first words.

The first thing she said after sitting down was with a smile, asking Kim Tae-yeon what she had called her over for.

To an ordinary person, this would certainly not seem like a problem.

But Kim Tae-yeon and Lim Yoon-ah know Jessica Jung very well.

If it were Jessica Jung in her usual manner, she would have said this with a relaxed attitude, instead of laughing right away.

Moreover, her posture at the time looked a bit tense, completely different from usual.

When the two men talked to her later, it was according to their pre-arranged plan: one would talk to her while the other observed her. With their decade-plus more experience, they naturally noticed something was amiss at a glance.

His guilty look was all too obvious.

Jessica Jung: ? Is it really necessary to go to this extent? Aren't you guys bullying an honest person?

"Looks like we need to find some time to ask Chen Yan a good question, unnie."

Kim Tae-yeon nodded: "We definitely need to ask them properly."

As for why you didn't wait for Chen Yan to return before asking him...
There's still one person missing from the family who hasn't come yet.

This is a big family matter, so of course we have to call Peach over and give this scoundrel a thorough interrogation.

Thinking of this, Lim Yoona took out her phone.

"I'll ask Zhenli which evening she's free so we can check the time together."

"Ah."

Kim Tae-yeon nodded beside her, then took out her phone, opened Kakao, and sent a message to her man.

The gist of it is that she and Yoona were tired from a long day of work, so they decided to rest first and not wait for him.

The message was sent and I received a reply very quickly.

Xiaoyan [Xinxin]: Okay, noona, I'll be done here soon and head back. You and Yoona should get some rest. Goodnight.

She immediately replied with a goodnight message. Kim Tae-yeon wrinkled her nose and pouted as she looked at Chen Yan's profile picture.

Hmph! What a jerk! He wanted to sleep with Jessica while hiding it from her? Dream on!

Meanwhile, in the recording studio on the other side, Chen Yan, who had just finished teaching Lee Ji-eun, was naturally unaware of what was happening at home.

He put away his phone and looked at Lee Ji-eun beside him: "Let's pack up and go, Ji-eun. You should go home and rest early too."

"it is good."

Lee Ji-eun nodded obediently and turned to tidy up some draft papers on the table.

For some reason, she paused in her actions and looked at Chen Yan.

"By the way, oppa, are you busy in June and July?"

Chen Yan paused in his actions, turned to look at the girl, blinked, and shook his head: "I don't know either."

"what?"

How could I not know?
The thought had barely crossed Lee Ji-eun's mind when she received a light tap on the head.

Chen Yan looked at her with amusement: "Of course I don't know. I'm not a celebrity who schedules events. How could I possibly know whether I'll be busy in the next month or two? I can't predict the future."

He paused abruptly. Okay, he could indeed foresee the future, but it was only a fragment of the future, not a month or two.

Lee Ji-eun then realized what was happening, scratching her cheek with a silly grin: "Oh right, oppa, you're not a celebrity."

"correct."

"Sigh, it's all because oppa you've been so popular online lately, I've subconsciously started treating you like a celebrity."

Lee Ji-eun offered an explanation to herself, so as not to appear so naive.

She was telling the truth. Although this oppa hasn't released any new works recently, he did make headlines with Suzy a while ago.

In addition, he is often spotted by fans, who then take photos with him and post them online, so he has always been a hot topic and subject of discussion online.

There's no way around it; in a country like the Korean Peninsula where looks are everything, having such a handsome face, coupled with a profession like music producer that's closely related to idols, is bound to arouse curiosity.

Lee Ji-eun reasonably believed that if those photos of this oppa wearing a suit were posted online, his popularity would experience another surge.

Chen Yan smiled and said, "So, is there something you need to talk to me about in June and July?"

"Oh"

His reminder made the girl remember the important thing she wanted to talk about.

"I'm releasing a new album in October, so I'd like you, oppa, to help me record the whole album and record the new songs for me."

"I see. But why did you start recording in June? The album is scheduled to be released in early October, isn't that a bit too early?"

"Because I'm busy. Filming for the TV series won't finish until August, and I'll be promoting my new album in September. I was thinking of recording the album as soon as possible so that things will be easier later."

As she spoke, Lee Ji-eun paused and looked at the oppa in front of her: "Didn't you tell me to manage my time properly and not to overwork myself?"

"I was right about that."

Chen Yan nodded, then reached out and ruffled her hair: "But when have you ever listened to me like this?"

After Chen Yan withdrew his hand, Li Zhi'en raised her hand to tidy her slightly ruffled hair, pouting and muttering softly:

"I've always listened to you, okay?"

Chen Yan smiled upon hearing this, but immediately thought of another question: "But won't your company have any objections if you ask me to be the producer of your new album?"

Lee Ji-eun waved her hand generously: "I've already mentioned it to the company, and they're very supportive. Oppa, you should know that you're quite popular right now, and you're still my teacher."

"Your recording of my album is like a collaboration, which is a great promotional opportunity. The company can save a lot of money on advertising, that's for sure."

The collaboration between the two will surely make the CP fans scream with joy. There are actually quite a few CP fans of her and this oppa, and they have always been quite active.

Don't ask her how she knows; her manager told her. The company also has people specifically monitoring public opinion regarding CP (couple) fans.

It's not that she spends her free time every day browsing the internet.

"What is it?"

Chen Yan asked another question.

"nothing."

Lee Ji-eun waved her hand: "It just means that oppa will have to work a little harder then, as he'll have to record songs for my entire album."

We can't talk about CP fans, this oppa is Taozi's boyfriend.

"Hey, it's just recording a song, what's so hard about it? Ji-eun, you're a professional, recording songs for you is a piece of cake."

A small compliment made Lee Ji-eun's lips gradually curl into a smile.

Then, with a wave of her hand, she said generously, "Oppa, don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing. Your reward will definitely satisfy you."

That "I have plenty of money" attitude of a rich woman made Chen Yan smile along.

"Okay, I got it. Hurry up and finish packing so you can go back and rest."

"Hehe, so oppa, you're saying yes?"

"Of course, why wouldn't I agree to something that can make money?"

It's just recording songs, not producing an entire album, so it won't take much time and doesn't conflict with his current work.

"Hehe, that's good."

For the next two days, Chen Yan maintained a regular routine of going back and forth between home and JYP Entertainment.

I'll continue working on that song for Girl's Day while I'm at work, and then enjoy my time at home after get off work.

The only slight drawback was that Kim Tae-yeon and the other two hadn't come over these past two days, making him feel a little lonely and isolated.

That evening, after taking a shower, Chen Yan sat down on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and selected the latest episode of "Running Man" to watch.

"click"

A moment later, a sound of entering a password came from the front door, followed by the sound of the door opening.

Hearing the sound, Chen Yan turned his head and looked in the direction of the door with some confusion, then got up and walked towards the entrance.

Upon seeing the three figures who had just taken off their shoes, he was taken aback.

"This is what you are doing?"

No one answered.

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah walked over and each grabbed one of the man's arms, pulling him toward the bedroom.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Chen Yan did not resist, but asked a question with some doubt.

Seeing that the two still didn't reply, he looked at Peach, who was a few steps behind.

However, Peach just smiled and gave him a knowing look.

Upon entering the bedroom, Chen Yan was pushed directly onto the bed by the two men.

Before he could make a move, Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah each placed one foot on his left and right chests.

He then leaned down slightly, looking down at him, and said:

"Tell me! What exactly is going on between you and Jessica/Jessica unnie?"
