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

Chapter 518 What if Xiaoyan and I break up?
In my childhood dormitory.

When Kim Tae-yeon heard Jessica Jung's tearful voice on the other end of the phone, she immediately understood.

“Jessica, don’t worry, are you at home right now? Then wait for us at home, Yoona, Sunny, and I will be there right away.”

As she spoke, she frowned and glanced at Lim Yoon-ah and Lee Soon-kyu beside her.

The two understood each other, immediately got up from the bed, and walked outside.

The three of them waited in the room for Jessica Jung's results.

It now appears that the situation is probably the worst possible scenario.

Using the excuse of going to Chen Yan's house, the three greeted Tiffany and the others in the living room and then left.

After arriving at the underground parking garage and getting into her car, Kim Tae-yeon started the car and drove towards Jessica Jung's house.

With her skillful driving, the three arrived at Jessica Jung's house in nearly twenty minutes.

I entered the password to open the door, quickly changed my shoes, and went inside.

As soon as they entered the house, they saw Jessica Jung sitting quietly at the dining table.

“Sika.”

Kim Tae-yeon called out to her and walked over.

Jessica Jung, who was staring blankly at the Barbie doll box in front of her, snapped out of her reverie when she heard the sound.

Turning her head, she saw Kim Tae-yeon and the other two. Her lips were tightly pressed together, and tears welled up in her slightly swollen eyes.

"Taeyeon, Krystal. Krystal, she..."

Kim Tae-yeon sat down next to her, gently patted her back, and comforted her:
"Don't rush, Sika, tell us the situation slowly."

Yoona and Soonkyu, who were standing next to them, glanced at the Barbie doll box and the greeting card with the slightly blurred handwriting on it, and their brows furrowed.

Jessica Jung suppressed her emotions: "Just now... when I got home, I saw Krystal sitting here alone, without the lights on. When she turned around, I realized she had been crying. I don't know how she found the Children's Day gift Xiaoyan gave me."

She recounted her conversation with Krystal Jung, and at the end, she recalled Krystal Jung's tearful account of her feelings for Chen Yan, which stirred her emotions once again.

"Soojung said that Xiaoyan was the first man she liked, that she really liked Xiaoyan, and that she was originally planning to confess to Xiaoyan tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Kim Tae-yeon and the other two felt a jolt in their hearts.

Krystal is actually planning to confess her feelings to Chen Yan tomorrow?!
This was a situation they hadn't anticipated.

In that case, the situation between Jessica and Xiaoyan will undoubtedly have a greater impact on Xiujing.

Yoona asked, "Unnie, where is Krystal now?"

“She’s back in her dorm. I’ve already contacted Taozi, and she just messaged me to say that Xiujing is already in her dorm.”

Jessica replied, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at the three of them: "But...but what should we do now?"

She had considered many possibilities before confessing, but she never imagined it would be like this.

To avoid this kind of thing, she had warned Xiaoyan several times not to have any feelings for Xiujing.

Some time ago, he even tried to cut his losses on both sides and reminded Xiujing that Xiaoyan was a scumbag.

The fear is that during their time together, Krystal might accidentally develop some feelings for someone else.

However, what she didn't expect was that Xiujing had fallen for Xiaoyan so long ago, even before Taozi.

She had been sitting here alone for a while, thinking about a lot of things. She remembered a long time ago, when everyone had just met Xiaoyan, and she had indeed noticed that Xiujing had feelings for Xiaoyan.

However, she believed that the goodwill she felt towards Xiaoyan had completely vanished the moment they discovered he was a scumbag.

Unexpectedly, that good feeling not only turned into love, but has continued to this day.

Thinking of Krystal's slightly self-deprecating remark, "Was I hiding it too well?", Jessica Jung was immediately filled with regret for not discovering it sooner.

The three people beside her, including Kim Tae-yeon, fell silent for a moment.

They were all sorting through the information they had gleaned from Jessica Jung's words.

After finishing, the three of them sighed inwardly.

Xiujing's feelings for Chen Yan are deeper than they thought.

From her words, we can tell that after the girl first learned that Kim Tae-yeon and Chen Yan were together, she thought about giving up on the relationship, but obviously she didn't manage to do so.

Later, when she learned that Taozi and Lin Yun'er had appeared in Chen Yan's life, she considered giving up, but in the end she still did not succeed.

She tried to let go time and time again, but failed each time. Now, she's even considering confessing her feelings and is about to take action.

All of this shows that Xiujing's affection for Chen Yan, despite her repeated attempts to manipulate him, has taken deep root in her heart.

Lee Soon-kyu pondered for a moment, looked at Jessica Jung, and said, "Jessica, I think it's best if you and Krystal calm down for a few days first, and then find a time to have a proper talk later."

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah nodded; they thought so too.

Krystal is definitely still emotionally charged right now, so going over to talk to her now would be pointless and might even make things get more out of control.

Moreover, both she and Jessica Jung need time to calm down, sort out the situation, and think things through.

The key issue right now is still with Krystal.

It depends on whether she decides to give up on the relationship or continue it after she calms down and thinks it over carefully.

If the decision is made to continue, then the key to the problem lies with Jessica Jung.

Of course, they wouldn't say that now. Jessica Jung is emotionally unstable right now, and saying that would be like adding fuel to the fire.

In the end, the problem will definitely have to be solved by the two of them themselves.

Their role is to keep a close eye on the situation and, if necessary, soothe emotions as they do now, to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control.

Kim Tae-yeon gently patted Jessica Jung's back a few times, comforting her, "Jessica, Krystal isn't a child anymore. She'll definitely think things through after she calms down."

"Besides, Yoona is with her when she's filming during the day, her manager is there when she has other schedules, and Tao is there when she goes back to the dorm at night, so nothing will happen."

Im Yoona chimed in, "Yes, unnie, I'll keep an eye on Krystal while I'm on set, and I'll let you know if anything happens."

Jessica Jung nodded slightly, her eyes still somewhat unfocused.

The room fell silent for a moment.

A moment later, Jessica Jung's somewhat hoarse voice suddenly rang out.

What if Xiaoyan and I break up?

Kim Tae-yeon and the other two were startled, and then they all frowned, but none of them spoke for a moment.

Because in a way, this is indeed a solution. Finally, Yoona looked at Jessica Jung and frowned, saying, "Unnie, doing this is actually useless. Putting aside how Chen Yan will react, even if you explain it to him and he agrees, what about Krystal?"

“I don’t think Soojung would agree. She definitely knows you’re doing this because of her, and it might make her even more miserable and complicate things further.”

"And even if you break up with Chen Yan, it doesn't mean that your connection with Xiujing and him will be severed."

Kim Tae-yeon and Lee Soon-kyu nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, Yoona is right."

Jessica Jung pursed her lips tightly.

She knew that what Lim Yoona said was true.

Unless she and Soojung both leave the group and the Peninsula, with the three of them and Peach around, even if she really breaks up with Chen Yan, their connection with Chen Yan will not be severed. In any case, it will cause more trouble and create new pain.

Moreover, this was just a thought that had just flashed through her mind. If you asked her to actually break up with Chen Yan right now, she might not be able to bring herself to do it.

She really likes Chen Yan. After spending several months together, her feelings for him have only grown stronger.

The room fell silent again.

"Adu"

After a while, a message notification tone suddenly came from Jessica Jung's phone.

Jessica Jung's pupils refocused, and she quickly reached for her phone to take a look.

What if something happened to Krystal?

After reading it, she looked up at Kim Tae-yeon and the other two: "It's Xiao Yan. He asked me how my chat with Soo-jung went."

"It's best not to tell Xiaoyan the truth yet. Xiujing doesn't know what she's thinking. If Xiaoyan finds out that Xiujing likes him, it'll be like revealing everything, and there won't be any room for maneuver later."

Kim Tae-yeon thought for a moment and then said.

Im Yoon-ah and Lee Soon-kyu nodded.

Lee Soon-kyu suggested, "We don't know if Soo-jung will still want Xiao-yan to know that she likes him after she calms down. It's best to find an excuse to deal with it for a few days and see how Soo-jung is doing before making a decision."

After thinking for a moment, Lim Yoona said, "How about we tell Chen Yan that it's nothing serious, just that Xiujing had a fight with you and went back to the dorm? Tell him not to go looking for Xiujing for the next few days, and if Xiujing does contact him, tell him to let us know so we can keep track of the situation."

After thinking about it, the three of them nodded in agreement.

This also prevented Chen Yan from rashly going to Xiu Jing without knowing the situation, which could provoke her.

Kim Tae-yeon added, "Jessica, you should also send a message to Taozi, just in case Xiaoyan asks her later and then the secret is exposed."

Jessica nodded, looked down at her phone screen, and as Yoona had instructed, first replied to Chen Yan's message, and then told Taozi about it.

Tsundere Sika Cat: We've finished talking. It's nothing serious. She just had a fight with me and went back to her dorm. She should be fine in a few days. Xiaoyan, don't contact Xiujing for the next few days to avoid upsetting her. If she contacts you, let me know immediately.

On the bed in the bedroom, Chen Yan looked at Jessica Jung's reply to the message, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled.

I hope nothing happened.

It seems that Krystal Jung has basically passed this test.

As for asking him to avoid Jung Soo-jung for a few days and not contact her, he was naturally willing.

He cheated on Jessica Jung, and it was already very kind of that that ice queen didn't come to his door with a knife after she found out.

After replying to a message, and seeing that Jessica Jung didn't reply again, Chen Yan thought for a moment, then exited the chat interface with Jessica Jung, clicked on Peach's profile picture, and sent her a message.

Chen Yan: Peach, has Xiujing gone back to the dorm?

The message was marked as read a few seconds after it was sent, and a reply quickly popped up in the chat box.

Peach [Heart]: I just got back and I'm sitting on the bed scolding you right now, oppa. I've been scolding you for two minutes already.

Chen Yan grinned and typed back: It's okay, it's okay, let her curse. It's already good enough that she didn't try to cut me with a knife.

Peach [Heart]: Yeah, but oppa, you shouldn't show up in front of Soojung these next few days, I'm afraid she might really hit you.

Chen Yan: I know, I will definitely not let her see me these next few days.

On the other end of the phone, Peach, sitting on her bed in the dormitory, looked at the slightly cheerful chat content on the phone screen and pursed her lips.

Normally, she would have burst into unrestrained laughter long ago.

But now, she can't laugh, nor should she.

She raised her slightly lowered head and looked at the bed on the other side.

Krystal Jung was sitting there with her arms wrapped around her knees, staring blankly at the bed.

There was no such thing as Krystal scolding oppa for two minutes; she's eerily quiet right now.

More than half an hour ago, Taozi returned to the dormitory and used the excuse that she had quarreled with Jessica to deal with Song Qian and the others who were also a little worried, and then went back to her room.

Upon entering the room, which was dark, Krystal Jung sat on her bed with her knees drawn up to her chest, just like she was now.

Hearing her enter, those eyes slowly lifted and glanced at her.

Peach was a little nervous, but she was still ready to speak.

But before she could speak, Krystal Jung said in a hoarse voice:
"Let me have some peace and quiet."

One sentence was enough to make Peach swallow back the words she was about to say and quickly nod.

Then Krystal Jung slowly lowered her eyes and quieted down.

Peach, rather boldly, walked to her bedside and sat down, then quickly silenced her phone.

After all, Krystal only said she wanted to be alone for a while, she didn't explicitly say she wanted to be alone, did she?

She sent a message to Song Qian and the others outside to explain the situation. Taozi sat quietly on her bed, and Jung Soo-jung did not let her go out.

The two sat quietly on their respective beds, with Krystal Jung remaining motionless in that position until now.

After putting down her phone, Peach glanced at Krystal Jung, pursed her lips, and remained silent.

A moment later, Jung Soo-jung's hoarse voice suddenly rang out in the quiet room.

"Shirley."

Peach perked up and quickly replied, "I'm here."

Krystal Jung's eyes remained fixed on the bed, her lips slightly parted.

Why didn't you tell me about Chen Yan and Jessica?
