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

Chapter 514 The Traitor Momoko Battles the Three Heroes of Girls' Generation

"What?! Krystal likes romance novels?!"

The dining room in Kim Tae-yeon's home.

Kim Tae-yeon, Im Yoon-ah, Lee Soon-kyu, and Tao gathered together, sitting at opposite ends of the dining table.

All members of the "We Are a Loving Family" group chat were present, except for Jessica Jung.

After listening to Yoona recount how she tested Krystal Jung yesterday and concluded that Krystal Jung liked Chen Yan, Kim Tae-yeon was the first to exclaim in surprise.

Faced with her surprised gaze, Lim Yoona nodded seriously.

"There shouldn't be any mistake. During the script reading session this afternoon, I took the opportunity to test Soojung again, which made me even more certain."

This is why, after she returned home, seeing that everyone was free in the evening, she quickly gathered everyone together without telling Jessica Jung.

Before Jessica Jung confesses, let's quickly discuss this matter so that everyone can be mentally prepared and hopefully come up with a solution.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Lee Soon-kyu frowned: "I had thought this might happen before, but I didn't expect it to actually happen now."

She's only just stepped into her house, and such a huge thing is about to happen. What if they blow up her house too?

Kim Tae-yeon's brows furrowed as well: "Xiao Yan probably doesn't know that Xiu Jing likes him, otherwise she wouldn't have kept it from us."

The three nodded.

Actually, Peach knows the answer best.

Her oppa really didn't know that Krystal liked him, because Krystal hadn't confessed to him yet.

"This is getting serious. Sika is definitely going to explode."

Kim Tae-yeon murmured something, then looked up at Peach.

"Peach, you're closest to Soojung, didn't you notice anything?"

"Um"

Peach frowned, looking thoughtful.

While it seemed like she was recalling whether there had been any unusual events before Krystal Jung's death, she was actually refining her wording.

In fact, when she received Yoona's message, she had already guessed that this unnie had called everyone over because of Krystal's matter.

Don't forget, unlike the other unnies who have an information gap, she knows everything about Jung Soo-jung and has been secretly giving her a push from time to time.

Girls hold a pivotal position in both camps.

Knowing that Krystal Jung met with Yoona yesterday, Peach asked Krystal about it after she got home last night.

As a result, Krystal Jung confessed everything without any warning.

When it was mentioned that Yoona and Chen Yan met because of her, Krystal Jung seemed lost in thought for a moment, clearly still bothered by the matter, which almost made her burst out laughing.

But Krystal Jung, who is involved in this situation, doesn't know it. How could Tao, an outsider, not understand it?

Most likely, it was Yoona unnie who sensed something and used this probing tactic; this little ice queen has almost certainly been exposed.

So starting last night, she started thinking about what measures Yoona unnie would take, and what she should say then.

I can't just confess everything, or I'll expose myself as the mole prematurely.

If you're going to expose them, you should wait until Krystal successfully enters the house before doing so.

She must continue to finish her unfinished work!

But right.

Taeyeon unnie, Yoona unnie, Sunny unnie, these three unnies are all very shrewd.

It's practically impossible for me to fool them with lies; I'd be discovered in no time.

So after much deliberation, Peach finally decided to say everything she could, and nothing else, not even half-truths.

In this way, she's telling the truth, and those three unnies definitely won't be able to find any fault with her.

After frowning and pondering for a few seconds, Peach carefully chose her words and began to speak:

"I do know that Krystal did have a crush on oppa at first, but after Taeyeon unnie and oppa got together, her contact with oppa obviously decreased a lot."

"I don't know exactly what Krystal was thinking. Some time later, after she found out about me, Taeyeon unnie, and oppa, she seemed quite angry."

"Later, after she found out about Yoona unnie, she even went so far as to avoid oppa for a while."

“I asked her what she thought of oppa, and she said they were just friends, and she didn’t contact oppa much, just normal interactions between friends.”

Everything she said was the truth; there was not a single falsehood in it.

Kim Tae-yeon and the other two frowned and nodded, remaining silent for a moment, their faces full of thought, clearly analyzing the information revealed in Taozi's words.

They didn't realize that Peach, as Krystal's teammate and roommate, knew too little.

Humans are inherently independent individuals and all need their own private space. Even if you are very close to someone, there are bound to be things you don't know.

Not to mention that they also have jobs, so they don't actually have much time to spend together. Sometimes they are so tired that they just go back to their dorms and fall asleep without caring about anyone else. This is only natural.

If one could truly know everything about the people and things close to them, then the regrets of Jessica Jung leaving the group and Tao leaving would not have occurred in the previous life.

Furthermore, they didn't think there was anything wrong with Taozi not telling them beforehand that Xiujing might like Chen Yan.

Since Krystal Jung herself has never admitted to it, everything is ultimately just speculation until she does.

Then you directly told other people this speculation. If Krystal Jung herself knew about it, what would she think?
It could potentially cause the two of them to turn against each other.

There's a big difference between this story coming from Taozi's mouth and someone else discovering it themselves.

After thinking for a moment, Lee Soon-kyu was the first to speak up: "According to what Tao said, Soo-jung must have liked Xiao-yan for a long time, but she rarely shows it."

"After what happened between you and Yoona, Taeyeon, she must have tried to cut off that relationship. However, judging from the results of your probing these past two days, she may not have succeeded, or she may have succeeded, but there are still some lingering feelings."

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah nodded with furrowed brows.

Peach nodded in agreement.

Sunny's deduction is absolutely correct; Krystal did indeed try to cut off this relationship before.

However, with her by her side and constantly showing affection with oppa in front of her, the difficulty doubled, and in the end, she didn't succeed. Lim Yoona said, "I just don't know if Soojung has successfully cut off this relationship. If she has, that's fine, but if not, then there's a big problem."

If Soojung succeeds, then her probing over the past two days will trigger some kind of withdrawal reaction in her.

So when Jessica confronts Krystal later, the worst that can happen is that the two of them will have a little tiff for a while.

If not, then it means that this feeling has already taken root in her heart.

If Jessica confronts her then, it will be like a collision between Mars and Earth.

After he finished speaking, the restaurant fell silent again.

At this moment, Peach spoke up, "Unnie, should we tell Oppa about this?"

Upon hearing this, Kim Tae-yeon immediately shook her head: "Don't tell Xiaoyan for now, at least not until Jessica and Soo-jung confess."

Im Yoon-ah and Lee Soon-kyu nodded in agreement.

"Xiujing is currently still secretly in love with Xiaoyan, and Xiaoyan only sees Xiujing as a younger sister. Telling Xiaoyan now is like breaking the ice ahead of time."

"In that case, if after Jessica and Soojung confess their feelings, Soojung ultimately chooses to cut off her feelings for Xiaoyan, but we have already told Xiaoyan in advance, then there will really be no room for maneuver, and it will be a second blow to Soojung."

Whether or not to tell Xiaoyan about this depends on what Xiujing thinks after Jessica and Xiujing are honest with each other.

"Oh."

Peach nodded.

That's definitely true, and to some extent, they don't have the right to bypass Krystal and directly tell oppa that she likes him.

The restaurant fell silent again.

After a moment, Kim Tae-yeon looked at the three of them and said, "No matter what, it's definitely the right thing to let Jessica confess to Krystal. Let's just let things take their course and let Jessica find time to confess to Krystal next week."

The three nodded.

There is no doubt about that; even if they knew that the two would definitely collide, they couldn't stop it.

The longer this matter drags on, the greater the harm to Krystal Jung will be, and the more problems it will cause.

Moreover, there are too many uncertainties involved, and if this drags on any longer, it could explode at any time.

It would be better to do it now, and proactively detonate it when they are all psychologically prepared.

The extent of the damage caused by this explosion depends on how deep Jung Soo-jung's feelings for Chen Yan are; they cannot accurately predict that.

Lee Soon-kyu chimed in, "Let's prepare for the worst-case scenario first. The good thing is that we can closely monitor these two people and know in advance when Jessica will go to Soo-jung to confess."

"We can keep a close eye on the two of them afterwards. Krystal is filming in the same drama crew as Yoona, and Tao is basically watching over her when she goes back to the dorm. Jessica is left to me and Taeyeon to keep an eye on."

The three nodded again.

Although they haven't come up with any effective solutions, at least they are now mentally prepared and have made corresponding arrangements, so they won't be caught off guard and have no countermeasures when the incident actually happens.

Kim Tae-yeon, Im Yoon-ah, and Lee Soon-kyu each leaned back in their chairs, arms crossed, their brows slightly furrowed, looking thoughtful, clearly still considering the matter.

Peach glanced at the three unnies, pursed her lips slightly, and said the sentence she had thought of before coming.

"Unnie, if Krystal's feelings for oppa are so deep that even if she knows about oppa and Jessica unnie, she still doesn't plan to give up, what should we do then?"

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately frowned.

After a moment of silence, Kim Tae-yeon spoke first: "Then the crux of the problem lies with Jessica, and we definitely can't interfere."

Im Yoon-ah and Lee Soon-kyu nodded.

"Oh."

Peach responded softly, her eyes slightly lowered.

She got the answer.

Taeyeon unnie's words clearly meant that this matter mainly depended on Jessica unnie; as long as Jessica unnie agreed, she didn't care.

Yoona unnie nodded just now, which means that she and Taeyeon unnie have the same idea.

Now that both the East Palace and the West Palace have nodded in agreement, she has a better understanding of how to guide Soojung.

Now, the biggest obstacle for Krystal to enter the family is the most difficult one: Jessica unnie.

That's up to Krystal herself now. She can only wait and see if there's an opportunity to help out or something.

Now we're just waiting for these two to face off next week to see how things turn out.

A week passed quickly. Unlike the storm surrounding JK, which was still brewing, the storm surrounding EXO's "Growl" was still sweeping across the peninsula.

This week on music shows, EXO once again swept all the number one spots on all television music programs, accumulating a total of 11 number one wins.

On the same day, f(x) announced that they would be stopping their music show appearances and would no longer participate in television music programs starting next week.

On the way back to the dormitory in the van, Krystal Jung looked at the street scenes flashing by outside the window, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

The music show is over, so there will be a bit less time afterwards.

The next step is to find a free evening so that Chen Yan can keep his promise and take me to a Western restaurant for dinner, and then I can take the opportunity to express my feelings.

Thinking of this, the smile on her lips rose slightly.

Hmph, just you wait, Chen Yan.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in another nanny van that was driving smoothly on the road.

Jessica Jung was also gazing at the street scenes flashing past the car window when she suddenly remembered something, and her beautiful eyes, which had been shining brightly in the flashing neon lights, refocused.

Krystal and the others will finish their music show promotions tonight.

Then I should find a time when both of us are free to tell her about my relationship with Xiaoyan.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but purse her lips slightly.

Hopefully, that girl won't react too strongly.
