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

Chapter 537 I want to go home with you, is that okay?

The following Saturday afternoon.

A high-end gym in Gangnam District.

Wearing a tracksuit, Chen Yan reached out and pushed open the gym door.

Upon seeing the visitor, the receptionist immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Director Chen."

Chen Yan smiled and returned the greeting, then walked towards the treadmill area.

Behind him, the receptionist watched his retreating figure, her eyes flickering.

It feels like just yesterday that Kim Tae-yeon brought Chen Yan to the gym and helped him get a membership.

Unexpectedly, in just over a year, he has become a well-known star music producer in the Korean entertainment industry and a director of JYP.

She had previously boldly asked Chen Yan for an autograph and a photo, and Chen Yan didn't refuse. He smiled and signed an autograph for her, and then took a few photos with her.

Chen Yan walked over to the treadmill area and glanced around, but did not see the figure he was looking for.

He turned around, walked to the sofa in the corner, sat down, took out his phone, and sent a message to Krystal Jung.

Chen Yan: I've arrived.

The message was read instantly, and then the girl's reply popped up.

Krystal: I'm still on my way. There was a bit of traffic on the way here, but I'll be there in five minutes.

Chen Yan replied with an OK emoji, put down his phone, and looked thoughtful.

Last night, he suddenly received a message from Krystal Jung at home, asking if he wanted to go to the gym together in the afternoon.

The invitation came a bit suddenly, so Chen Yan immediately asked why he was suddenly invited to the gym.

Krystal Jung's reply was straightforward: she happened to have some time in the afternoon and was planning to go to the gym, and then she suddenly remembered that he had said he usually goes to the gym on weekends, so she thought she would ask him.

The girl's straightforward reply made the invitation seem much more natural, as if she had simply remembered that Chen Yan would be going to the gym on the weekend and had only asked about it briefly.

The explanation was reasonable, and Chen Yan agreed. He did indeed come to the gym almost every weekend.

As his eyes swept over the familiar fitness area, Chen Yan couldn't help but recall the scene last year when Kim Tae-yeon brought him here to get a gym membership.

He came to the gym often after getting a membership, but Kim Tae-yeon, that older sister, came very rarely.

On several weekends, when Kim Tae-yeon happened to be free at home, Chen Yan thought of inviting her to the gym to work out together.

But Kim Tae-yeon leaned lazily against the sofa, looked at him, and said:
"I don't need to go. Xiaoyan, the effort you put into me is enough to offset several days' worth of exercise."

Having said that, what else could Chen Yan say? He simply left the house alone.

A smile involuntarily appeared on his face, when suddenly a voice rang in his ears:
What are you grinning about all by yourself?

Chen Yan snapped out of his daze and turned to look, only to see Jung Soo-jung dressed in sportswear and carrying a white sports crossbody bag, standing next to him at some point.

"What are you laughing at? Can't you speak properly?"

Chen Yan glanced at her speechlessly and got up from the sofa.

"Pshaw, what else is it but a silly grin when someone sits there laughing at a bunch of exercise equipment?"

Krystal Jung retorted without holding back.

Chen Yan ignored her and started moving his body.

"Wait for me here, I'm going to put my things away. We'll go for a run to warm up when I get back."

Her gaze lingered on the man's prominent biceps for a moment, then Jung Soo-jung uttered a remark before striding towards the women's changing room.

Chen Yan glanced at her back as she swung her ponytail, then remained standing in place, stretching his body.

Less than two minutes later, Krystal Jung returned.

However, compared to before, the girl had taken off her sports jacket and was now wearing a short, cropped sports bra as she walked towards Chen Yan.

Chen Yan's eyes automatically located the girl's 11-point abs in the next second.

Seeing this, Krystal Jung pursed her lips slightly, her earlobes began to turn slightly red, but she couldn't stop the excitement welling up inside her.

Hmph, I really am attracted to this bastard.

She walked over without showing any emotion, her ponytail swinging back and forth.

"Let's go for a run."

"Ah."

Chen Yan naturally wouldn't keep staring at someone's abs, so he immediately withdrew his admiring gaze and walked towards the treadmill area with Jung Soo-jung.

The two of them stepped onto two adjacent treadmills and gradually accelerated, soon jogging at a steady pace.

Nearly 15 minutes later, they stopped one after another in tacit agreement, walked slowly on the treadmill for a while, and then got off.

Krystal wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and looked at Chen Yan, asking, "What are you planning to practice today?"

Chen Yan thought for a moment: "Let's work on the chest."

The girl glanced at the chest training equipment not far away: "Okay, I'm going to train my back."

"Ah."

The two then walked in the same direction because the chest and back machines were in the same area.

Sitting on the chest machine, after completing a set of exercises, Chen Yan adjusted his breathing slightly, subconsciously looked up, and was startled.

A few meters away, Krystal Jung was rhythmically doing back exercises.

Because the chest and back machines are positioned opposite each other, Chen Yan can now clearly see the girl's back.

The muscle lines on her back became clear as the girl pulled down the machine, showcasing just the right amount of strength without sacrificing beauty.

For some reason, Chen Yan couldn't take his eyes off the muscles that were faintly visible on the fair skin.

On the other side, Krystal Jung rhythmically repeated the back exercises, but the corners of her slightly pursed lips suddenly turned up slightly.

Because through the mirror in the corner of the wall not far away, she saw Chen Yan's somewhat dazed look behind her.

Hmph, my little scheme worked!

Do you really think she planned this back-training exercise before she even came here?

wrong.

She specifically chose to train her back after hearing Chen Yan say he wanted to train his chest.

Because the two machines are positioned directly opposite each other, when Chen Yan is about to finish a set of exercises, she starts hers, and Chen Yan can always see the muscles on her back.

Having finally found a suitable amount of free time, and having said she was going to take action, how could Krystal Jung not use her brain?

Last night, after remembering that Chen Yan had mentioned he usually went to the gym on weekends, she immediately sent him an invitation.

The gym is indeed a good choice; not only is the reason for the invitation legitimate, but the place also offers good privacy.

Most importantly, when a person exercises, the secretion of hormones in the body will accelerate in a short period of time.

In layman's terms, it means that hormone levels will rise, which to some extent increases the attraction between the opposite sexes.

Therefore, some movements that seem normal in everyday life can have a special appeal in the gym.

Krystal Jung knew this, so last night, after Chen Yan agreed to come to the gym together, she started thinking about how to show her charm in front of him.

Even Peach was there to offer suggestions.

Now she is putting that into action.

See, isn't the effect great? Chen Yan is just staring blankly at her back right now.

After finishing one set of exercises, Krystal Jung took a moment to catch her breath and glanced at Chen Yan behind her through the mirror. The man was no longer looking at her and was rhythmically starting the next set of chest exercises.

Seeing this, the girl didn't feel disappointed.

Chen Yan isn't a pervert; he wouldn't keep staring at her back.

If he were truly a pervert, then he wouldn't be worth my affection.

She had already achieved her goal; a second or two of dazed surprise was enough for her.

She smiled with narrowed eyes, her gaze falling on the chest in the mirror, which rhythmically rose and fell with Chen Yan's movements.

As she watched, Krystal Jung couldn't help but be a little stunned.

My mind subconsciously started to imagine the well-defined lines of his chest muscles beneath those loose-fitting athletic short-sleeved shirts.

The sound of the lead weight falling back suddenly rang out, and the girl snapped back to reality.

Seeing Chen Yan lower his head and adjust his breathing, she quickly looked away.

She shook her head slightly, trying to dispel the last lingering images in her mind, her pretty face blushing slightly.

No, what are you doing, Krystal Jung!
You're the one trying to hook him, but you've ended up getting hooked instead.

With a sigh of relief, the girl composed herself, glanced at Chen Yan, and finding nothing amiss, began to perform the next set of movements normally.

Behind him, watching her movements, Chen Yan, who was sitting there, couldn't help but be drawn to her.

After a while.

After finishing the last set of exercises, Krystal Jung glanced at Chen Yan wiping his sweat through the mirror, then looked around at the equipment, thought for a moment, and then got up and walked towards him.

Walking over to Chen Yan, she pointed to the Smith machine not far away.

"I need to do a bench press, can you help me?"

"okay."

Chen Yan nodded in agreement immediately.

The bench press is indeed one of the most dangerous exercises in the gym, and it's best to have someone watching you.

If no one is around, it's best not to do heavy bench presses alone.

Arriving at the Smith machine for bench press, Jung Soo-jung skillfully adjusted the weights on both sides, then lay down and said to Chen Yan:
"Give it to me, I'll make one set to test the weight first."

"it is good."

Chen Yan gently placed the bench press bar into her hands and instructed, "Be careful. If you're out of strength, just say so. Don't push yourself."

"Yeah. I know."

Taking the bench press bar with both hands, Krystal Jung adjusted her breathing and began to work out.

Beside her, Chen Yan watched as she stretched out and lowered her arms repeatedly, and a strange feeling gradually crept into his heart.

It wasn't because of the girl's constantly rising and falling chest while she was making the movements.

Krystal Jung's size is comparable to Yoona's, and Yoona might even have a slight edge.

The main reason is that he is currently standing directly in front of the equipment, which is directly in the direction of Jung Soo-jung's head.

He was slightly taken aback when his eyes met the girl's without his noticing.

Because the girl's eyes seemed to be staring straight at him, her bright, beautiful eyes shimmering with a hint of something inexplicable.

And with her movements, her pink lips parted slightly.

For some reason, this location and the girl's inexplicably alluring expression reminded Chen Yan of the scene in the office that day when he watched the rabbit eat carrots.

He suddenly felt a dry mouth and throat.

Something feels off today. It seems like whatever this little iceberg does has a peculiar flavor.

This is how it was when I was doing back exercises, and it's the same when I'm doing bench presses now.

I didn't feel this way when we met at the gym before.

Could it be because my mindset has changed, because I like her?
Next, when Jung Soo-jung saw Chen Yan suddenly looking a little dazed, a sly smile immediately flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She deliberately chose the bench press.

If a beautiful girl is looking directly at you from below, any man would probably be tempted.

Moreover, she had deliberately lowered the weight of her bench press a little, making it slightly lighter than what she usually did, just so she could keep an eye on Chen Yan like this.

If it's too heavy, the effort required will ruin the facial expression and the gaze won't be right, and it might not achieve the effect of making the man stunned.

But if it's too light, it won't work either; there's no pressure at all, and it won't show any sense of power.

It should be like this, not too light, not too heavy, showing a sense of power without ruining the facial expression, and the eyes should also be on point.

Now it seems that she has also achieved her goal, and Chen Yan was stunned once again.

Hmph, just admit it, you like me.

After finishing a set of bench presses, Krystal Jung put the bench press bar back in place, stood up, adjusted her breathing, and then looked at Chen Yan.

Do you want to practice?

"Oh, that's okay too."

Chen Yan had already come to his senses and nodded upon hearing this.

He adjusted his weight and lay down.

However, he had to carry the bench press bar himself because Krystal Jung couldn't lift it at all.

The girl looked at him and smiled, "Be careful, I can't lift your weight, I can only go and call for help for you."

Chen Yan smiled back: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

The weight he adjusted was much lighter than what he usually trains with.

It's not a good idea to blush in front of a girl; it makes you look a bit embarrassed.

You still need to pay a little attention to your image, don't you?

It's not because the person standing next to him is Krystal Jung.

After adjusting his breathing, Chen Yan lifted the bench press bar and began to perform the movements rhythmically.

Krystal Jung watched quietly from the side, but soon she slightly shifted her gaze and pursed her lips.

Upon closer inspection, her cheeks were even slightly pink.

She had subconsciously swallowed when she looked at the muscle lines on Chen Yan's arms and his slightly undulating chest muscles.

Ugh! Krystal Jung, wake up!

You were the one who hooked him, not the other way around!
Afterward, the two worked together to complete several sets of bench presses, and then stayed in the gym for more than half an hour before ending their workout for the day.

After taking a quick shower and changing their clothes in the locker room, Chen Yan looked at Jung Soo-jung, who was walking out with her bag, and asked:

"Is there anything else you need?"

Krystal shook her head: "No, I'm free this afternoon, and I don't have any other plans for tonight."

"Oh, shall I take you back to your dorm? Or home? Or do you have somewhere else to go?"

The girl blinked, then suddenly seemed to remember something, her voice carrying a calmness completely different from her inner feelings.

"I want to go home with you, is that okay?"
