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

Chapter 540 This is a JK !

Chapter 540 This is a JK (high school girl)!
More than half an hour later, dinner was over.

Lee Soon-kyu and Jung Soo-jung tidied up the dishes and kitchen, and the three of them returned to the living room to rest.

Lee Soon-kyu didn't speak until around 7:30, saying, "I have to go, I have training at 8 o'clock."

"I'll take you there, Nuna."

"No need, I drove here myself."

Lee Soon-kyu waved his hand and turned to look at Jung Soo-jung: "Soo-jung, are you leaving now, or staying a little longer?"

Krystal glanced at Chen Yan and said, "I'll leave now too. There are people in the dorm now."

She had spent enough time with Chen Yan today, and she knew the principle that too much of a good thing can be bad.

"Okay, Xiaoyan, you can take Xiujing back to her dorm. I'll drive myself to the company."

"it is good."

They turned off the TV, went out together, went to the underground parking garage, and got into their respective cars.

Her eyes shimmered as the neon lights flashed past the car window. Suddenly remembering something, Jung Soo-jung turned her gaze to Chen Yan, who was driving.

"You're planning to buy a house at the end of the year, right?"

Chen Yan nodded: "Yes, but I haven't seen the house yet. The royalties haven't arrived in my account. I'll go look at the house after I finish what I'm doing."

"Then it seems I'll have to prepare a housewarming gift for you."

Chen Yan suddenly laughed, turned to look at her, and teased, "Are you so sure I'll invite you to the housewarming party?"

Krystal Jung was slightly taken aback, then realized what she meant and immediately blushed: "Oh!"

"Hahahaha, just kidding, you'll definitely be invited to the housewarming banquet."

"Humph!"

Krystal glared at him angrily.

Although she knew Chen Yan was joking, she was genuinely a little angry.

While eating, she was thinking that she would definitely have a room in the house.

As a result, this bastard won't invite her to any home-cooked banquets now.

Isn't this just making myself look like a clown?

"But what are you planning to give me for this housewarming party? A Bluetooth speaker?"

Chen Yan asked another question.

The first housewarming gift the girl gave him was a voice recorder; for his birthday before that, she had given him a pair of custom-made Bluetooth headphones.

He uses both of these things regularly, so based on that, giving him a Bluetooth speaker next time would be a perfectly reasonable idea.

Seemingly reminded of something by Chen Yan's words, Jung Soo-jung pursed her lips and then glanced at him sideways.

"Is it normal for you to ask for gifts so directly? We haven't even bought a house yet, and you're already asking for gifts. You're really not being polite."

"Of course we're going to buy a house. Besides, didn't you say this afternoon that we're family? Why be so polite between family members? This is your new home, isn't it?"

That counts as my new home?
That was originally my new home!
There will be a room for me!
Krystal Jung's eyes flickered as she looked at the man's profile, and she said meaningfully:
"This house of yours is the new home for many people, you scumbag Chen."

"Forehead"

Chen Yan was immediately speechless and turned to look at the girl.

What's wrong with this girl? Why is she criticizing him again?

"Humph~"

With a wrinkled nose and a soft snort, Krystal Jung turned her head and looked out the car window again.

"Let me think about the housewarming party gift first. Anyway, according to your plan, we still have more than half a year before we move, right?"

"Okay, take your time thinking about it, no rush."

Think about it slowly?
This can't be thought about slowly.

As Krystal Jung watched the street scenes flashing past the window, her mind began to race.

The scoundrel said he's planning to buy a house by the end of the year, so I have to win him over before then.

That way, he can take himself into account, and his new home will have his own room.

I can't possibly share a room with Jessica.

According to her calculations, Bae Suzy should be able to secure the deal by October.

So she has about a month left to completely resolve Jessica's issue and then win over Chen Yan.

Hmm, I need to plan this out more carefully.

Just then, Chen Yan's voice rang in her ear: "We've arrived."

The girl came to her senses.

We've indeed arrived near the dormitory.

f(x)'s dormitory and Chen Yan's home are not far apart; it only takes ten minutes to drive there at most.

"Then I'll be going now. Take care on your way back."

"Okay, remember to send me a message when you get to your dorm."

Krystal Jung nodded, unbuckled her seatbelt, then suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Chen Yan.

She didn't say anything, just stared straight at him.

Feeling a little confused by the stare, Chen Yan was about to ask what was wrong.

But then, Krystal Jung suddenly smiled.

"Chen Yan."

"Ok?"

The girl pointed to her chest.

"How do you plan to take responsibility for this?"

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment.

Realizing she was referring to the incident that afternoon when he touched her chest, he opened his mouth, but after a long pause, he managed to utter a single sentence.

"Um, I didn't mean to, it was just that..."

"I do not care."

Krystal Jung interrupted him directly, pursing her lips and saying, "Anyway, you have to find a way to take responsibility for me."

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Yan's reply, she opened the car door, got out of the car, and walked towards the dormitory without looking back.

Upon closer inspection, his footsteps revealed a hint of haste and panic.

On the bus, Chen Yan stared blankly at the girl's receding figure, his mind somewhat dazed.

No, why are you suddenly saying he has to take responsibility?

Is this the kind of responsibility he envisions?
How can he take responsibility for this?
Don't look back! Don't look back!
As Jung Soo-jung hurried towards her dormitory, she kept repeating this sentence in her mind.

The corners of his mouth were tightly pursed under the mask, and his cheeks felt a little hot.

That was a confession, right?
As she unbuckled her seatbelt, she suddenly remembered what Sunny had said that afternoon: she needed to make Chen Yan guess that she liked him, and she needed to give him some obvious signals.

She was just thinking that Chen Yan was going to buy a house at the end of the year, so she really needed to speed things up a bit.

So she turned to look at Chen Yan, and in those few seconds, her brain was racing.

Then she suddenly remembered what happened that afternoon when Chen Yan touched her chest, which led to the question, "So, how do you plan to take responsibility for this?"

Thinking of Chen Yan's stunned expression just now, Jung Soo-jung couldn't help but laugh again.

That bastard was probably scared by me too.

Forget about him, I scared myself!

How could you say something so audacious, directly asking someone to take responsibility for you?

This was the first time she had ever said something like that in her entire life.

Thinking about it now, I feel a little ashamed.

If she had to do it again, she might not be able to bring herself to say it.

As the girl walked, she paused.

I took a deep breath and then cautiously turned my head. Unfortunately, I was already inside the residential area, and all I could see were the shops with their lights on across the street; the black Mercedes sports car that was still parked on the side of the road was nowhere to be seen.

With her clenched fists loosened, Krystal Jung immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She paused for a moment to calm her racing heart before turning around and continuing to walk forward.

Back at the dorm, after greeting Song Qian and the others who were sitting in the living room, Jung Soo-jung went straight to her room.

The room was lit, and Peach was lying on her bed scrolling through her phone.

Her fair, long legs, clad in pajamas and shorts, swayed slightly in mid-air, while her plump, round toes, painted with flesh-pink nail polish, opened and closed intermittently.

Hearing the door open, she turned around and saw Jung Soo-jung enter. She immediately grinned and got out of bed.

"Soojung, you're back."

"Ah."

Peach said with a grin, "I was just about to send you a message to ask if you're coming back tonight."

She knew that the girl and her oppa were going on a date today, and she even helped to give advice.

Jung Soo-jung, who had just sat down on the edge of her bed, was taken aback by what she heard, and then blushed.

"Oh, what are you saying? How could I not come back?"

"Hehe, I was just kidding."

With another cheerful reply, Peach stood up, put her fair and adorable little feet into her slippers, and then sat down next to Krystal Jung, her bright eyes brimming with gossip.

"How's it going? Any progress with oppa today?"

Krystal glanced at her, pursed her lips, and without hiding anything, told her almost everything that had happened from the afternoon until she got out of the car.

After listening, Peach nodded thoughtfully.

“Yeah, I think Sunny unnie is right. Soojung, you really need to keep an eye on Jessica unnie. You can’t be too hasty. And it’s also right to let oppa realize that you like him.”

Krystal asked somewhat anxiously, "Do you think what I just said about being responsible was obvious enough? Can Chen Yan realize that I like him?"

"of course."

Peach confidently replied, "How could oppa not understand this?"

Krystal Jung nodded, agreeing.

That bastard is a total jerk, how could he not understand something so obvious?

But soon, another question came to her mind: "So, do you think that after he finds out I like him, he'll avoid me because of Jessica?"

Momo frowned upon hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "I don't know, maybe at first, after all, oppa can't completely disregard Jessica unnie's feelings."

Krystal Jung, standing next to him, frowned.

Seeing this, Peach smiled and said, "But I think that's only temporary. Oppa should figure it out soon. The main problem now is that although Jessica unnie has softened her stance, she definitely needs time to accept and adapt. So Krystal, you really can't be too hasty."

Her delicate eyebrows relaxed slightly, and Jung Soo-jung nodded thoughtfully.

She knew Taozi was right; it was normal for Chen Yan to consider Jessica's feelings.

She was mentally prepared for this from the beginning.

I just hope Chen Yan won't dwell on it for too long. Ideally, he should stop worrying about it once he's given Jessica enough time to prepare her mentally. That would be the best outcome.

Meanwhile, in Cheongdam-dong, at Chen Yan's home.

The door opened, and Chen Yan walked in. After changing into slippers, he headed towards the bedroom.

However, a thoughtful look always lingered between his brows.

Just as I stepped into the bedroom, a message notification sound suddenly went off.

Chen Yan took out his phone and glanced at it.

Krystal Jung: I'm at the dorm.

After a moment of hesitation, he replied: Okay, I'm home now.

Krystal Jung replied with an OK emoji.

Chen Yan didn't reply to the message. He just stared at the chat interface between the two of them and gradually frowned.

What exactly did this girl mean just now? Why is she making me take responsibility?

He walked over to the desk and sat down, leaning back in his chair and taking a deep breath before beginning to sort out his somewhat chaotic thoughts.

First and foremost, and this is the most important point.

What exactly did Krystal Jung mean by what she said before getting out of the car?

After carefully recalling the scene just now, Chen Yan's eyes flickered, and he came to a conclusion.

Krystal Jung likes him.

Upon reaching this conclusion, his breathing quickened, his heart pounded, and a surge of excitement and stimulation welled up within him.

This is indeed something that makes people instinctively happy.

He discovered he liked Krystal Jung, and now Krystal Jung likes him too. How could he not be happy when they love each other?

Moreover, considering the girl's expression when she said those words, and her quick departure after getting out of the car, he knew that this was not one of the three great illusions of life.

The girl definitely liked him.

The problem is, what should we do about Jessica Jung's older sister?

Thinking of this, the happy expression on Chen Yan's face quickly disappeared, and he frowned again.

But soon, he discovered another blind spot.

Krystal Jung clearly knew about his relationship with Jessica Jung's older sister.

Under such circumstances, the fact that she still said those almost explicit words to herself that night, does that mean...?
She has given full consideration to Jessica Jung's problem, and may even have already solved it.

This was not just a baseless guess on his part.

Because, in the afternoon, when Lee Soon-kyu's older sister was in the kitchen, she also said something that seemed to have a deeper meaning to him.

First, he asked what his feelings were for Krystal Jung, and then said that as long as he could win over Jessica Jung, they wouldn't mind.

Even before leaving, he cheered himself up and encouraged himself.

Chen Yan's eyes flickered, and his brain worked at a rapid pace.

If Kim Tae-yeon and the others already knew about their feelings for Jung Soo-jung, and even knew that Jung Soo-jung liked them.

They're not stupid; they definitely know what this means for Jessica Jung and the potential impact it might have on her family.

However, in this situation, instead of warning themselves, they actually encouraged each other.

Does this mean that Jessica Jung's problem has been resolved?

And then he suddenly realized that the frequency of his contact with Jessica Jung had inexplicably decreased during this period.

Is it because of this?
Chen Yan's eyes widened instantly.

The conclusion reached from both Krystal Jung's and Soon-kyu Lee's perspectives is inexplicably flawed, further supported by evidence that Jessica Jung's contact with him has decreased.

"hiss"

He couldn't help but gasp.

A surge of excitement and thrill welled up inside him, even more intense than when he discovered that Krystal Jung liked him.

calm down.

After a moment of excitement, he told himself to calm down.

After finally managing to suppress the surging emotions within him, Chen Yan let out a long sigh of relief.

All of this is just my own deduction right now; I can't treat it as a given fact and then act rashly.

This is a very dangerous thing; one wrong move and it could really go wrong. We have to be careful, careful, and even more careful.

Staring at the ceiling, Chen Yan pondered for a long time.

Krystal Jung, that little ice queen, told me to take responsibility for her.

Given her personality, if she could say something like that, how could I do nothing?

Chen Yan pursed his lips.
