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

Chapter 437! What are you doing?! (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month!!!)
The trending topic of Bae Suzy's sasaeng fan stabbing someone has been circulating online for two days, and the hashtag has remained firmly in the top ten of Naver's trending list.

Two days later, on the morning of the same day, the police officially released the results of their investigation.

The announcement was pretty much what Chen Yan had guessed. It said that the three men were not only Bae Suzy's sasaeng fans, but also members of the Busan Seven Star Gang, and that they attacked Chen Yan on impulse.

The three individuals will be transferred to the prosecutor's office, and the court will announce its verdict at a later date. It is hoped that the public, especially the fan base, will take this as a warning and refrain from acting impulsively.

The entire text makes no mention of the three people being instructed by someone else.

"Ding"

The elevator announced its arrival at the floor, and Chen Yan looked away from the police announcement on his phone screen.

He put away his phone, stepped out of the elevator, and found his female assistant, who always greeted him whenever he came to SM Entertainment, already waiting at the elevator entrance.

He's here today to record a song for f(x).

"PD Chen, Chief Lin is waiting for you in his office. Please come with me."

"Ok."

Upon arriving at Director Lin's office, the two sat down and chatted for a while.

Director Lin inquired about Chen Yan's attack a couple of days ago, and then brought up the matter of EXO.

EXO's first full-length album will be officially released on June 8th, and the song "Baby Don't Cry" written by Chen Yan is included in it.

He hoped that Chen Yan could also post an update on his social media in the next couple of days to help generate buzz and promote the product.

Chen Yan readily agreed to this.

In addition, EXO's follow-up album is also in preparation, with the title track "Growl" also composed by Chen Yan. Recording of the song needs to be completed in June, and the specific date will be announced later.

After discussing work, the two chatted for a few more minutes before Chen Yan got up and left Director Lin's office. Led by his assistant, he arrived at the entrance of a recording studio.

"Chen PDnim, please come in. The members of f(x) will be here shortly."

"Ok."

When he entered the recording studio, there were already two people there. They were the two assistants that SM had assigned to him when he recorded EXO's "Baby Don't Cry" last time.

The three greeted each other and then sat down to chat.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the recording studio.

Chen Yan responded, and the door opened, with the five members of f(x) and their manager walking in.

“Hello PDnim, we are f(x).”

Chen Yan smiled as he looked at the five people standing in a neat row in front of him, bowing to him.

"Wow, I didn't expect to receive such treatment. I thought you would just say hello to me casually after you arrived, and then go off to have fun on your own."

Upon hearing this, the five people who had been wearing professional idol smiles on their faces lost their composure, and their lips twitched a few times.

Finally, Song Qian, as the team leader, suppressed a laugh and explained, "We may be close in private, but in formal work settings, we should still greet each other formally."

Chen Yan nodded, his gaze sweeping over the group before settling on his own Taozi, giving her a somewhat "frivolous" raised eyebrow.

Peach couldn't help but smile, and she also cutely wrinkled her nose at her oppa.

Chen Yan's gaze then shifted to Krystal Jung next to Peach, and his smile instantly became more teasing.

"Your voice sounded a little soft when you greeted me just now, Krystal. Didn't you eat breakfast? Why don't you greet me again by yourself?"

"puff"

The four people next to Song Qian couldn't help but laugh this time.

Only Krystal Jung blushed and opened her mouth to speak, but when she caught a glimpse of her manager, she could only swallow back the words of rebuke that were about to come out, and glared angrily at the jerk opposite her.

Beside him, the manager and assistant showed no surprise. They knew about the close relationship between Chen Yan and the two maknaes of f(x).

Chen Yan originally wanted to tease her a bit more, but remembering what Jessica Jung had said, he gave up the idea.

We really should be gentler with this girl, otherwise things might not be easy for her in the future.

At this moment, the agent stepped forward, took a cup of coffee from the bag he was carrying, and handed it to Chen Yan.

“Sherry said you usually drink cappuccino with double sugar, so we’ll have to trouble PDnim for today’s recording.”

Chen Yan smiled and accepted the coffee: "You're welcome. This is just part of my job."

After exchanging formal greetings, the manager took Victoria Song and Amber away, as the two had other commitments for the morning.

Before leaving, Victoria Song said, "Don't you dare bully my group members."

"Sister Qian, what you're saying is clearly telling them not to bully me."

"Tch, what a jerk!"

As the three left the recording studio, Chen Yan turned his gaze to Taozi, Jung Soo-jung, and Luna, and said with a smile:

"As we discussed in the previous meeting, this is a song about first love, and it should be sung in a way that suits your age. So you can sing it with a touch of coquettishness."

The three nodded, and Peach suddenly grinned, calling out in a slightly coquettish tone:

"Oppa~ Is this how it feels?"

Chen Yan nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, that's the feeling. But don't shout it at people casually in the future, it's a bit unfair, Peach."

The implication is that, from now on, no other man can call her that except me.

Peach understood and nodded with a grin: "Hehe, okay oppa."

With a smile, Chen Yan's gaze unconsciously drifted to Luna beside him.

As a result, Luna immediately imitated Peach and shouted, "Oppa~, is this how it feels, Chen Yan oppa?"

Chen Yan paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, that's the feeling. When you sing it later, use that feeling to sing it."

He knew the girl was simply working and trying to find the feeling he was talking about.

Luna smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Then, all three of them turned their gazes to Krystal Jung on the far left.

Suddenly becoming the center of attention, Krystal Jung blinked in bewilderment.

I... I should shout too?

Realizing what was happening, the girl's fair face turned red at a visible speed.

Should I call him "oppa" in that same cutesy tone?
Could this bastard have conspired with Sulli and Luna beforehand to trick me into calling him oppa?
Although I know it's necessary for work, this is just too embarrassing.

And why does this guy have such an expectant look in his eyes? Does he really want to hear me call him oppa?

After meeting Chen Yan's expectant gaze for a moment, Jung Soo-jung quickly looked away.

Seeing this, Chen Yan knew that this little ice queen was probably too shy to call him that, and was just about to make a joke to smooth things over. But unexpectedly, Jung Soo-jung suddenly looked directly at him, her cherry lips parting slightly: "Oppa~"

The soft, sweet voice carried a hint of coquetry, causing Chen Yan to pause in surprise for a few seconds before he realized what she meant and nodded with a smile.

"Yes, that's the feeling. With this cutesy tone, your voice is more distinctive and catchy. Sing with this feeling in a moment, and it will become a highlight of the song."

"it is good."

Krystal nodded, secretly relieved. Her hands, which had been unconsciously clenching at her sides, slowly loosened, and the blush on her fair face gradually faded.

God knows how much determination it took for her to call out "oppa" just now.

It wasn't that I mustered up the courage, it was just that I suddenly didn't want to admit defeat.

Because Luna unnie shouted it out.

Although her relationship with Chen Yan is not as good as Sulli's, it is not as good as Luna's.

Because she inexplicably didn't want to admit defeat, she called out "oppa" and went straight to the point, expressing the feeling Chen Yan wanted.

And
Krystal glanced at Chen Yan, smiled secretly, and inwardly hummed twice.

This guy was stunned for a while before he reacted. Heh heh, you've seen my charm, haven't you?
Chen Yan was still savoring the soft, sweet, and slightly coquettish "oppa" the girl had called out earlier.

Because it really has a charming contrast; it's completely different from the girl's usual icy image.

He couldn't help but look at Krystal Jung and said with a smile, "Krystal, why don't you just call me oppa from now on? Anyway, I am older than you, and I'm not taking advantage of you."

Krystal Jung couldn't help but roll her eyes: "You wish! That was for work, otherwise I wouldn't have called out."

"But I see that you usually call Kim Heechul 'oppa'."

"That's different, I won't call it that anyway."

The girl gave Chen Yan a soft snort, then pulled Taozi and Luna to sit down on the sofa next to her.

Seeing this, Chen Yan smiled and didn't continue the topic.

"Get ready, we'll start recording in a bit. Luna, you go first."

"Ok."

Luna, who had just sat down, responded and then stood up again, walked into the recording studio, and started singing while looking at the lyrics.

Chen Yan smiled at Taozi and Jung Soo-jung, then turned around and began checking the equipment without further interaction with them.

When you're working, you should prioritize your work. You can talk about other things after you finish working, especially since there are two assistants who are outsiders around.

However, the advantage of having an assistant is that he doesn't have to adjust the equipment himself anymore; he only needs to check if there are any parameters that need to be changed.

On the sofa behind her, looking at his profile, Krystal pouted again.

Getting her to call me "oppa" isn't that easy; she won't unless...
As if thinking of something, the girl pursed her lips again.

Hmph! I had a chance before that I could call you oppa every day, but you missed it.

You'd rather hurt Yoona later than hurt me, the one you knew first. Now it's too late, the chance is gone!
It's going to be hard for me to call you oppa!

Peach, standing nearby, saw all of the girl's little expressions and smiled to herself, but didn't say anything.

Her gaze then fell on Chen Yan's profile, she smiled gently, then took out her phone, opened the camera, and started taking pictures of her oppa's profile and back.

Noticing her action, Krystal pouted and said, "What's so interesting about filming this guy?"

Peach smiled and continued to find good angles to take pictures: "Oppa looks so handsome when he's working, there's a different kind of cool about him."

Turning her head, and glancing again at Chen Yan's sharply defined profile and increasingly focused expression, Krystal Jung simply scoffed and said nothing more.

Putting her phone away, Peach noticed that Krystal had her arms crossed, but her eyes kept drifting towards Chen Yan. She leaned closer and said, "..."

"Soojung, do you want me to send you a copy of the photos I took?"

Jung Soo-jung paused, then glanced nervously at Chen Yan, as if afraid he might overhear her words.

Seeing that Chen Yan had already put on his headphones and started testing the sound with Luna in the recording studio, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to Taozi and whispered:

"Hey, why did you send it to me? What do I need that guy's photo for? You can keep it yourself."

"Ok."

Peach smiled and said nothing more.

She just wanted to tease this little ice queen; Soojung's flustered little expression was so cute.

A few minutes later, the song recording officially began.

Peach and Krystal Jung also quieted down and familiarized themselves with their respective parts of the lyrics.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Luna. That's all."

More than an hour later, Luna's part was finished recording. Chen Yan said something to Luna in the recording studio, then turned to look at the sofa.

"Next up, Soojung."

"Oh, here we come."

Krystal Jung responded and got up to walk towards the recording studio.

But after taking two steps, she seemed to remember something and turned to walk towards Chen Yan.

Noticing the girl approaching, Chen Yan turned around, smiled at her, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You are not allowed to deliberately make things difficult for me."

This bastard has said several times that he's going to find fault with her, and she's afraid he'll actually do it on purpose.

Although she knew that Chen Yan was probably just teasing her a bit to get her to sing it a couple more times.

But she'll be nervous, especially in front of this man; her nervousness will be doubled.

As Jung Soo-jung spoke, she subconsciously reached out to point at him, but then, realizing it would be impolite, she pulled her finger back from Chen Yan's face.

As soon as her fingers retreated a little, Chen Yan suddenly reached out and grabbed them.

Krystal Jung paused for a moment.

"dong dong"

Suddenly, a knock sounded, the recording studio door was pushed open, and a beautiful, cold face with a smile peeked in.

He was about to greet them, but when he saw the scene in the recording studio, the smile on his face vanished instantly.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"
