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

Chapter 521 Chen Yan, I'm Not Arrogant Anymore
Meanwhile, inside JYP Entertainment.

Chen Yan was sitting at his desk writing the OST for "The Heirs".

"Adu"

A message notification tone pulled him back from his work.

He took the phone and took a look.

38.5℃ Little Deer: If you're free this afternoon, come visit me on set.

Chen Yan raised an eyebrow.

This is a bit unusual; my little deer usually doesn't bring up things like this on her own initiative.

Of course, visiting Yoona on set is no problem, but Krystal Jung is also on set.

Just two days ago, I told him not to appear in front of Krystal Jung these next few days.

Just as he was wondering what was going on, a new message popped up in the chat box.

38.5℃ Little Deer: Soojung said she wants to see you.

Chen Yan grinned.

Tsk, that little iceberg wants to see me, does he want to beat me up?

The image of Krystal Jung's cold face involuntarily flashed into my mind, but soon the scene changed back to the girl smiling and crying in my dream from the day before yesterday.

A pang of heartache welled up within him, and Chen Yan quickly banished the images from his mind, frowning.

The aftereffects of this dream are quite serious.

After calming himself down, he replied to the message: Okay, I'll be there this afternoon.

Since it's Krystal Jung who wants to see him, then go ahead. There's nothing to be afraid of. At worst, he'll just get beaten up.

And to be honest, ever since he dreamed about Krystal Jung, Chen Yan has actually had an urge to see her.

However, he hadn't taken any action because Kim Tae-yeon and the others had told him not to appear in front of Jung Soo-jung recently.

Leaning back slightly in his chair, Chen Yan gradually fell into thought again.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon.

A white BMW sports car slowly pulled up in front of a high school in Gyeonggi Province.

The car door opened, and Chen Yan, dressed casually, got out of the car.

I glanced at the high school gate and was about to step inside.

Just then, a cry of surprise suddenly came from not far away.

"Ah! It's PD Chen!"

Hearing the sound, Chen Yan turned his head and saw a group of fans holding various support items sitting around a flower bed not far away. Most of them were young girls.

When he turned his head, the fan group became even more agitated.

"PD Chen, are you here to visit Krystal on set?"

The girl who had first recognized Chen Yan spoke up again.

Chen Yan glanced at the small banner supporting Krystal Jung that she was holding and nodded with a smile.

"Yes, I happened to have some free time today, so I came to visit Yoona and Krystal on set."

Upon hearing this, some girls holding support items for Yoona also made excited noises.

"Yoona and Krystal's coffee truck will be coming over soon, you can go and have some."

"Good~"

After chatting with a group of fans for a couple of minutes, Chen Yan turned and walked towards the high school.

As I walked in, I took in the campus environment.

The drama "The Heirs" mainly tells the story of the high school life of the second-generation chaebols in the peninsula, so most of the scenes in the drama take place on campus.

Chen Yan had read the outline of the drama. The core of the drama is actually the story of a second-generation chaebol who falls in love with a Cinderella, a popular theme in Southeast Asia in recent years. The two encounter various obstacles along the way, but eventually succeed in getting together.

It sounds a bit old-fashioned at first, but the clever part is that screenwriter Kim Eun-sook added another core to the story.

She summarized all the difficulties and choices that the characters in the drama encountered during their growth into this core concept, which can be summarized in a simple sentence.

Unwilling to wear the crown, one must bear its weight.

The addition of this concept instantly freed this somewhat clichéd story from its melodramatic framework, making it stand out as refreshingly unique compared to other similar stories.

When Chen Yan saw it, he couldn't help but admire the screenwriter's ingenuity.

"JYP's Director Chen came to visit Yoona and Krystal on set."

On the filming set at the school, a crew member jogged up to screenwriter Kim Eun-sook and director Kang Shin-hyo and said something.

The two nodded.

Yoona had told them in the morning that Chen Yan would be visiting the set around 2 p.m., and they made corresponding adjustments to the filming schedule accordingly.

Seeing Chen Yan walking towards them, the two got up and went to greet him.

He's a director at JYP Entertainment and promised to write an OST for his own drama, so it's only right that he does so.

Not far away, Yoona and Krystal also saw the figure slowly walking towards the film set.

Unlike Yoona's natural and calm smile, Krystal Jung pursed her lips and unconsciously clutched her skirt with her hands hanging at her sides after seeing Chen Yan.

A sharp pain shot through my heart, but besides the pain, I could also feel a distinct joy and a strange sense of satisfaction.

She really wanted to see Chen Yan; ever since she made that rebellious decision that night, she had longed to see him.

However, she knew that if she went to see Chen Yan at that time, she might do something impulsive in a moment of emotional outburst, so she held back.

It wasn't until I talked to Lin Yoona about Chen Yan that morning that I couldn't help but tentatively ask why Chen Yan didn't come to visit the set.

When Yoona asked her if she wanted to see Chen Yan, she chose an answer she wouldn't have chosen before, instead of the other way around.

miss you.

Chen Yan, I'm not arrogant anymore.

If I want to, I want to; if I don't want to, I don't want to. From now on, I will tell you everything clearly and explicitly.

The girl's somewhat dazed eyes refocused, only to meet Chen Yan's gaze as he looked at her.

The moment their eyes met, she saw a clear look of embarrassment flash across the man's face.

snort!
Now you realize how awkward it is? When you were making your move on Jessica, didn't you ever think about how awkward it would be to see me?

You bastard!

Seeing his gaze shift to Im Yoona, Krystal Jung took a few heavy breaths, then, as if remembering something, lowered her eyes slightly and whispered:
"Unnie, just be yourself with Chen Yan later, don't worry about me, I'll be fine."

Suddenly, a girl's voice rang in her ears, and Lin Yoona, who had just exchanged a smile with Chen Yan, was slightly taken aback.

Turning to look at the girl, Krystal Jung also looked at her and smiled slightly.

Her eyes flickered for a moment, then Lin Yoona smiled and nodded: "Okay, I understand."

On the other hand, after greeting the director and screenwriter, Chen Yan didn't rush to find Lin Yoona and Jung Soo-jung.

Instead, he expressed a desire to have a deeper discussion with them about the characters and story of the drama so that he could better create the OST. This was also a side purpose of his visit to the film set.

The two readily agreed, and led Chen Yan to a place to sit down. The three of them then began to chat.

Seeing this, Yoona and Krystal sat down again.

After instructing her assistant to arrange a coffee truck, Lim Yoona looked at Jung Soo-jung again, thought for a moment, and asked:
"Soojung, when Chen Yan comes over later, will you hit him?"

Krystal Jung paused slightly, glanced at Chen Yan not far away, and pursed her lips.

"If none of you hit him, why should I?"

Im Yoona blinked her doe-like eyes: "Who said we didn't hit him?"

Krystal Jung was taken aback again upon hearing this, and subconsciously asked, "Unnie, did you really hit him?"

"Yeah, I hit him, and I haven't really talked to him for several days."

She and Taeyeon each stepped on the man's chest; how could that not be considered a fight?

"Oh."

Krystal Jung nodded, looking thoughtful.

Seeing this, Lim Yoona raised the corners of her mouth.

It seems that calling Chen Yan over was indeed the right choice.

As soon as he arrived, Xiujing's facial expressions became noticeably more relaxed, indicating that the girl's nerves had been eased.

Indeed, the one who tied the knot must untie it.

Aside from Jessica unnie's issue, the biggest issue is with her own man.

Right now, Yoona is thinking about how to let Krystal vent her emotions as much as possible.

Otherwise, she really wouldn't feel at ease.

In a few days, she will be going to the United States with the film crew to film.

Part of the storyline for the male and female leads in this drama needs to be filmed on location in the United States, which will take about a month.

Jung Soo-jung naturally wouldn't go with her; instead, she stayed on the peninsula to continue filming her own scenes.

At this critical juncture, she was indeed a little worried that she wouldn't be able to settle Xiujing properly.

"Unnie, Chen Yan is here."

Krystal Jung's voice suddenly rang out, pulling Yoona back to reality.

Looking up, I saw Chen Yan walking towards me.

Her beautiful eyes darted around, and the corners of Lin Yoona's mouth turned up slightly.

Then he got up, gave up his original seat, pulled over a chair from the side, and sat down.

Just as Chen Yan walked up to her, she looked at him and smiled, "Thank you for coming to visit the set."

As she spoke, she reached out and patted the chair she had just been sitting in: "Sit down quickly."

Chen Yan's expression visibly stiffened, and he subconsciously glanced at Jung Soo-jung on the other side.

Krystal Jung was also caught off guard by this unnie's sudden move.

Upon noticing Chen Yan's gaze, she stiffened and instinctively turned her head to look in another direction.

Be as unnatural as you want to be.

Chen Yan grinned, his gaze towards Lin Yoona filled with inquiry.

Yoona remained calm, blinked her beautiful doe-like eyes twice, and repeated, "Please sit down."

Unfortunately, even though Krystal Jung turned her head to the other side, he still unconsciously smiled awkwardly and sat down in the empty chair between the two of them.

There's nothing to be afraid of. Krystal isn't going to eat him. She can't just suddenly pull out a knife and stab him, can she?

After sitting down, Chen Yan subconsciously placed his hands on his lap, straightened his back slightly, and adopted a dignified posture.

Seeing this, Lim Yoona couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, then gave him a reproachful look.

Hmph, what a dog of a man.

Now you realize how awkward it is, huh? I told you not to mess with Jessica unnie, and even mess with Krystal.

If you knew how Krystal felt about you, wouldn't you be able to dig out a three-bedroom apartment with your toes right away?

Although Jessica and Krystal were largely the ones who took the initiative, ultimately it's all that scoundrel's fault.

She pouted slightly and gave her man a reproachful look before starting a conversation: "What were you talking about with the screenwriter and director just now?"

"Oh, I talked to them about the characters and plot, which will help me write the OST for the TV series."

Chen Yan replied, looked at her clothes, and couldn't help but smile and praise, "This outfit suits you very well, you look beautiful."

The clothes that Lim Yoon-a was wearing at the time were the school uniform of female high school students on the Korean Peninsula, with a small blazer on top and a gray short skirt on the bottom.

Her outfit perfectly accentuated her pure and lively temperament, which perfectly matched Chen Yan's image of a school beauty.

Hearing the man's praise, Lim Yoona smiled and said, "What about Soojung? Doesn't Soojung look good in this school uniform?"

Jung Soo-jung, who was looking away, immediately perked up her ears upon hearing this.

Chen Yan's expression stiffened again.

What's wrong with this little deer? His behavior and words seem to be constantly creating opportunities for him and Krystal Jung to communicate.

Could it be that Krystal's anger towards him has subsided, but she's just too shy to start a conversation with him, which is why Yoona keeps trying to bring up topics?

Yes, it's true that things aren't going to stay this way between me and Soojung.

Thinking this through, Chen Yan composed himself.

He turned to look at Krystal Jung beside him, his gaze sweeping over her for a moment before he smiled and said:

"Of course, Krystal is also very beautiful. If you two wore this outfit, you would definitely be the school beauties no matter which school you went to."

As the man's familiar, gentle yet slightly magnetic voice rang in her ears, Krystal Jung bit her lip lightly.

Although this wasn't the first time Chen Yan had complimented her on her beauty, her heart would involuntarily race every time she heard it.

Even now that we know about Jessica, it's still the same.

I really can't let go.

Krystal Jung took a deep breath, a determined look flashing in her eyes.

Since she really couldn't let go, she stopped hiding and faced her truest feelings.

Didn't she say that she would never deny her true feelings again?

Yes it is, no it is not.

With that thought in mind, the girl resolutely turned her head, her beautiful eyes meeting Chen Yan's gaze directly.

Do you really think I'm pretty?
