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

Chapter 534 I made a slight move, and Jessica Jung wavered.

Krystal's eyes flickered, but she didn't answer. She pursed her lips, and her slightly reddened eyes stubbornly looked at Jessica, her meaning quite clear.

Yes.

Jessica Jung understood, took a deep breath, and wiped away the tears on her face.

"Okay, then I'll ask you a few questions. If you feel you can accept them all, then I'll agree."

Krystal raised an eyebrow: "Okay, go ahead and ask."

"Come sit next to me."

Jessica Jung raised her hand and patted the seat next to her.

Krystal Jung stood up without hesitation and sat down next to her.

After pursing her lips and pondering for a moment, Jessica Jung looked at her and said:

"You went to Zhi En's concert with Xiao Yan tonight. He sang with Zhi En on stage, didn't he? How did you feel when you saw that?"

She plans to start with specific examples.

Krystal Jung paused for a moment, blinked, and seemed to understand what her unnie was trying to say.

She honestly replied, "I'm envious, I'm envious that IU unnie can stand together with Chen Yan openly."

Jessica Jung paused for a moment.

Wait a minute, shouldn't you be saying you're jealous and unhappy?

Seeing through her thoughts at a glance, Krystal Jung chuckled softly: "If you want to ask me if I feel jealous or even envious, I really don't. I'm just envious."

As she spoke, she glanced at her unnie, and then, as if she had thought of something, her eyes flickered and her tone suddenly became a little lower.

“Unnie, ever since I fell in love with Chen Yan, because of my own reasons, and also because of the other women around him, such as Taeyeon unnie and Yoona unnie, I have never been able to stand openly with him.”

“I always try to get a chance to be in the same frame as him by taking advantage of various occasions, such as his birthday, Yoona unnie’s birthday, or even by creating rumors. And I always have feelings for him hidden. So when I saw him and IU unnie just now, I could only feel envious.”

In the situations she mentioned, she kept her thoughts hidden, trying not to let Kim Tae-yeon and the others find out. Looking back now, it was really silly of her.

Beside her, listening to her story, Jessica Jung pursed her lips, feeling a pang of heartache.

I was just about to reach out and pat her when I suddenly realized something.

Wait a minute, I was trying to persuade Xiujing not to be with Xiaoyan, but it seems like I've been led astray.

She shook her head slightly, reorganized her thoughts, and regained her train of thought before speaking:

"That's because you and Xiaoyan aren't together yet. If you were together with Xiaoyan, you would definitely be jealous when you see him interacting with other women."

As she spoke, her thoughts inexplicably became clearer.

“Think about it, we have Taeyeon, Yoona, Sunny, and Sulli in our family now, and we’ll have Ji-eun and Soo-ji in the future. We’ll definitely be living together in the future.”

"You'll definitely get jealous watching Xiaoyan interact with other people. Think about it, can you really accept living a life where you're jealous every day?"

After she finished speaking, she noticed that Jung Soo-jung was looking at her strangely.

She paused, taken aback: "What do you mean by that look?"

"Jessica, you're not talking about yourself, are you? You're jealous every day, are you a jealous person?"

"I"

Jessica Jung opened her mouth, as if she had been hit where it was supposed to be, and her face turned bright red.

"Hey! Krystal Jung, I'm asking you something very seriously right now, please don't change the subject."

"Okay, okay, I won't change the subject."

Krystal Jung replied with a sentence, then thought for a moment.

"But Unnie, it's normal to be jealous when you like someone, but to be jealous every day like you said, to get jealous every time you see Chen Yan interacting with other people, that's too exaggerated. We're not immature people."

"And if you're really jealous, Chen Yan will come and coax you, right? Like when he sang on stage with IU last night, Taeyeon and the others messaged Chen Yan, clearly saying they were jealous, and Chen Yan will definitely coax them when he gets back."

"Including you, Unnie. Don't tell me that Chen Yan didn't come to comfort you when you were jealous before."

Jessica Jung paused for a moment: "Me"

Seeing this, Krystal smiled, her tone suddenly becoming somewhat low.

"But unnie, you know what makes me even more upset than being jealous is that I don't even have the right to be jealous, because Chen Yan doesn't know that I like him. So when I saw him interacting with Taeyeon unnie and the others, I could only feel jealous in my heart."

"If you're jealous, you can openly tell Chen Yan and ask him to coax you, but I can only suffer in secret by myself."

The person you secretly love doesn't even have the right to be jealous; you have to process any emotions you feel because of them on your own.

Beside her, Jessica Jung lightly bit her lip.

She felt sorry for him again.

No, how come this girl can refute everything I say, and even turn the tables on me?

But then again, it's true that Krystal's love for romance novels is a difficult love indeed.

Unlike her, although her process of falling in love with Xiao Yan was a bit bizarre, it wasn't as complicated or tortuous.

She glanced at Krystal Jung and tried one last time.

“Soojung, there will definitely be conflicts when we live together in the future. You may think that kind of life is special and interesting now, but it’s not as good as you think.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Krystal's gaze towards her had changed again.

It's like looking at an idiot.

Before she could even ask, the girl pointed in the direction of the restaurant.

"Unnie, that night a while ago, you stood there and told me in person that you, Taeyeon unnie, and Sulli got along like a family and were very happy."

"I"

Jessica Jung froze again, speechless.

Why is it that these questions I've been thinking about haven't made Soojung even slightly discouraged? On the contrary, it seems like I'm starting to waver.

She lowered her head slightly and fell silent.

After a long pause, she finally spoke again: "Since you like Xiao Yan so much, why do you continue to like him?"

Upon hearing this, Krystal Jung's eyes flickered, and images of her and Chen Yan from the beginning to the present flashed through her mind. Finally, a smile appeared on her lips.

"Because even though it's so hard to like him, I still like him. Although it can be tough sometimes, Chen Yan has his own way of responding to me."

"Unrequited love is one-sided, but reciprocated love is a mix of pain and pleasure, making it irresistible and drawing you deeper and deeper into the relationship."

At this point, she looked at Jessica Jung in front of her and said firmly:
"Unnie, I really like Chen Yan."

Jessica Jung looked up at her. The girl had a smile on her face, tears glistening in her eyes, and her expression conveyed a passionate yet pure emotion.

She pursed her lips and lowered her head in silence again.

The living room fell silent again.

Seeing her unnie remain silent for a long time, Krystal Jung thought for a moment and reached out to hold her hand.

“Unnie, I know what your real concern is. Everyone knows that you are afraid that if the outside world finds out about this, you will worry about how I will be able to bear the public’s gaze.”

Jessica Jung raised her head, her lips pressed tightly together, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

"But I'm not a child anymore. I've thought about this carefully. Even if the outside world finds out one day, I'll have you and Taeyeon unnie by my side, right? I won't be facing all of this alone."

"Besides, Unnie, even if I don't like Chen Yan, I can't let you face the outside world's gaze alone, can I?"

Jessica sniffed, said nothing, but tightened her grip on Krystal's hand.

The two sat there quietly, neither of them speaking again.

After a long while, seeing that she had calmed down, Krystal Jung finally spoke, "I'm going to rest now, unnie."

The girl didn't rush to ask her unnie whether the final answer was agreement or disagreement.

By now, she had achieved her goal for tonight.

She knew that Jessica Jung was already wavering, and she didn't necessarily need to know an answer tonight.

Just as she knew that the biggest obstacle to being with Chen Yan was Jessica Jung.

Krystal Jung also knew that the final solution to overcome this obstacle lay with herself.

So before the formal conversation, she thought about trying her best to persuade Jessica Jung. She didn't expect to get her to completely agree, but at least she had to try to sway her.

Therefore, when Jessica asked her those questions earlier, she not only refuted them one by one, but also cleverly added some of her own inner feelings.

She knew Jessica Jung would be heartbroken.

Unnie, look, I like Chen Yan so much, it hurts you, right? So please consider it and agree to let us be together.

Of course, what she just said was her genuine feeling about liking Chen Yan, not something she made up to sway Zheng Xiuyan.

She simply used a little ingenuity to tell Jessica Jung her true feelings at just the right moment.

The result was obvious; this little trick was very successful.

Upon hearing her words, Jessica Jung glanced at her and nodded slightly.

"Unnie, you should get some rest too."

Krystal got up to go back to her room, but then remembered something, turned to Jessica, and said seriously:
"Unnie, don't break up with Chen Yan. If my happiness comes at the cost of your own happiness, I will feel guilty and in pain for the rest of my life. Besides, Chen Yan is not an object that you can just throw away without considering his feelings."

She has her pride, and she has things she wants, such as feelings. She will work hard to get them herself and doesn't need to sacrifice others for them.

The person who should be sacrificed is Jessica Jung.

After exchanging a glance with her, Jessica Jung pursed her lips and nodded.

Only then did Krystal Jung turn around with relief and step out of the living room.

But after walking a short distance, Jessica Jung's voice suddenly rang out behind him again:

"Soojung, are you really sure about this?"

Krystal Jung paused, clenched her fist, but didn't turn around.

“Unnie, I’ve asked myself this question countless times since the moment I decided to confess to Chen Yan. You’ve seen the answer, haven’t you?”

After saying that, she continued walking towards the room.

Behind her, Jessica watched her figure disappear from sight, and the sound of the door closing came a few seconds later.

His eyes turned to the ceiling, and he gradually lost focus.

In the room, Krystal Jung walked to the bedside and sat down, momentarily lost in thought.

A moment later, her pupils refocused, and a smile appeared on the girl's face.

At least for now, everything is moving in a positive direction, isn't it?

"Adu"

A message notification tone suddenly rang out in the quiet room.

Krystal Jung took her phone out of her pocket and looked at it.

It was a message from Peach.

Shirley: Private First Class Choi reporting! Lee Ji-eun has successfully reached base!

Krystal Jung couldn't help but smile and replied: Okay, I understand.

The message was read instantly, and Peach quickly sent another message: "Oh, I envy you, Krystal, being able to watch oppa and Ji-eun sing on stage live."

Krystal Jung: I'll send you the video I filmed; it has a great angle.

Shirley: Hehe~ Okay! [Heart emoji]

I selected the video I took at the concert that night and sent it over.

She left the video to transmit on its own and exited the chat with Peach.

The pinned profile picture in the Kakao chat list shows one unread message.

It was sent by Chen Yan half an hour ago, saying that he had arrived home.

Krystal Jung pursed her lips, tapped her profile picture, and then quickly tapped the virtual keyboard.

Krystal Jung: Okay, get some rest, goodnight.

The message was read very quickly, and Chen Yan's reply popped up in the chat box just as soon as it was read.

Damn it: Yeah, you too, goodnight.

Krystal's eyes flickered, but she didn't send any more messages.

His eyes fell on the profile picture of a starry sky and stared at it for a moment.

Chen Yan, when will you realize that you like me?
The girl couldn't help but ask herself this question. She leaned back on the bed, looked at the profile picture, and pouted.

But it's okay if you don't realize it yet; you'll realize it soon.

Because I'm about to take action.
