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

Chapter 580 I Want to Be Under the First Snow

Chen Yan was taken aback: "Now?"

"Yes, I know a place nearby that not many people go to. It's only a little past eleven o'clock now, it's not late."

Krystal nodded, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at him, her tone unconsciously carrying a hint of coquettishness.

"Let's go together, okay? It's rare to see snow, and we're both free."

Looking into the girl's expectant eyes, Chen Yan couldn't bring himself to refuse her.

"Okay, go ahead then, but you need to change your clothes and wear something warm."

"it is good!"

Krystal Jung immediately smiled and said, "I'll go change my clothes right now!"

After saying that, she ran towards her room.

Chen Yan stood there, watching the snowflakes that were still fluttering outside the window.

The girl's voice suddenly came from behind again:
"Chen Yan, you need to change your clothes too, dress warmly, hurry up!"

Looking down at the black hoodie he was wearing, Chen Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go change it now."

After replying, he turned and walked towards Jessica Jung's room.

A dozen minutes later, the two, each wearing a long black down jacket and a scarf around their necks, stood at the entrance, looked at each other, and smiled.

"Let's go."

"Hmm~"

They grabbed the car keys, went out the door, and arrived at the underground parking garage, where the two got into the Mercedes SUV.

After exiting the underground parking garage, Chen Yan followed Jung Soo-jung's instructions and drove towards the place she had mentioned.

Looking out the car window at the snowflakes that were not only not getting smaller, but were actually getting bigger, Krystal Jung smiled happily.

"That's wonderful, the snow is falling even heavier."

If the snow stops shortly after they go out, then their trip will have been in vain.

Chen Yan smiled, said nothing more, and focused on driving.

You still need to be careful when driving in snowy weather.

Following Jung Soo-jung's instructions, the car arrived at a deserted place after more than ten minutes.

Chen Yan parked the car in a place with a good view and looked around.

This area is actually considered the outskirts of Seoul. Only a few lights can be seen flickering in the distance. Further away, you can see the dazzling neon lights of downtown Seoul.

They were located near a hill, and because of the hill's obstruction, very few people came here.

He turned to look at Krystal Jung: "How did you find this place? Most people wouldn't drive here."

Jung Soo-jung chuckled: "Jessica and I stumbled upon this place when we were wandering around the neighborhood. Since there weren't many people around and it wasn't dangerous, we remembered it, thinking we could come out and enjoy the night view sometime in the future."

She glanced at the snowflakes swirling outside the car window, then opened the car door and got out.

The temperature difference between the warmth of the air conditioning in the car and the blast of cold wind as soon as she got out made the girl squint.

After adjusting to the temperature difference, Krystal Jung gazed at the snowflakes falling from the sky, her eyes curving into crescents.

She reached out her hand, and a snowflake quickly fell into her palm, slowly melting under her gaze.

Chen Yan also got out of the car and walked to her side, extending his hand as she did.

Soon, two snowflakes landed in his hand.

Seeing this, Krystal pouted and said coquettishly, "Why do you only have two pieces?"

The girl's childlike appearance surprised Chen Yan for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Maybe it's because my hands are bigger than yours."

He grabbed Krystal Jung's hand and pressed it against his own.

Chen Yan's hand is about one-third bigger than Jung Soo-jung's hand.

"Okay, I accept that reason."

Krystal replied, and the next second her hand, which was touching Chen Yan's, clasped between his fingers, and the two hands instantly intertwined.

"Oh, so you were trying to trick me into holding your hand."

"Tch, don't be shameless. You were the one who grabbed my hand first."

The two exchanged a few words, then smiled at each other, their hands still clasped tightly, and turned to look at the night sky where snow was falling.

After a moment of absentmindedness, Krystal Jung suddenly spoke up: "Chen Yan, this is the first snow of the year."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Chen Yan.

"You should know about the first snow on the peninsula, right?"

"Mmm~ I know."

Chen Yan replied with a smile.

Having lived on the peninsula for over a decade, he certainly knew the significance of the first snow there.

The first snowfall of the year is a very special day on the peninsula, symbolizing pure love and carrying a beautiful meaning. It is an emotional symbol etched into the peninsula's popular culture.

If lovers meet during the first snowfall, it symbolizes that their love will be sweet forever. If ex-lovers meet during the first snowfall, they may also reconcile.

Many dramas on the peninsula feature famous scenes related to the first snow, such as "Winter Sonata," "Tree of Heaven," and "That Winter, the Wind Blows."

Even the drama "My Love from the Star," which just started filming a couple of days ago, includes descriptions of the first snow.

One of the lines spoken by the female lead, Cheon Song-yi, in the drama is: "On the day of the first snow, we must eat fried chicken and drink beer."

Chen Yan had read the scripts for the previous episodes and still remembered this line.

"Hmm~ Good to know."

Krystal Jung nodded in satisfaction.

Why do you think she dragged Chen Yan to the wilderness to see the snow late at night? It's because it's the first snow of the year.

Chen Yan was by her side when the first snow fell, which naturally had a very auspicious meaning.

Watching the first snow together is a romantic memory that belongs only to the two of them.

"So, to keep our love sweet forever, you're not allowed to make me angry anymore, understand?"

Seeing the girl's cute pout, Chen Yan smiled and immediately agreed.

"Okay~ I promise you, I won't make you angry anymore."

At this time, one was Chinese and the other was a Korean American, yet they both tacitly believed in the folk culture of the Korean Peninsula and that their love had been blessed.

"Sigh, it's a pity that the snow didn't last long enough, otherwise we could have built a snowman together and had a snowball fight."

After looking up at the falling snowflakes for a while, Krystal Jung said with some regret.

"It's okay, it's not like it'll only snow today. We can do it again when we can build a snowman." "Pfft~ That's only if I'm free."

"It's okay. If it doesn't work this year, we'll try next year, and if it doesn't work next year, we'll try the year after. There will always be a time when we have time."

Chen Yan offered another word of comfort, then took Jung Soo-jung's hands in his, breathed on them, and gently rubbed them together.

The girl's hands were now completely cold.

After rubbing her hands together a few times, he put the girl's hand into his pocket.

Beside her, Krystal watched his movements silently, then glanced at his profile, suddenly pursed her lips, and said:

"Chen Yan."

"Ok?"

"Tell me you like me."

Chen Yan didn't react for a moment: "Huh?"

Krystal pouted and looked at him, repeating, "I said, I'll let you say it, you like me."

As she spoke, she pursed her lips again.

"You've never said you like me."

This man has indeed never told her "I like you" even now.

At the Western restaurant, she asked Chen Yan first if he liked her, and then he nodded.

Although Krystal Jung knew that it was mostly because of Jessica that Chen Yan couldn't say it directly.

Moreover, ever since the Western restaurant incident, she has been able to clearly sense Chen Yan's affection for her from his behavior.

But it's true that Chen Yan never told her he liked her.

And now Jessica's problems have all been resolved.

On this day of the first snow, it's not too much for her to ask Chen Yan to say "I like you," is it?

She stopped being so arrogant; if she wanted to hear it, she would just tell Chen Yan and let him say it directly.

Besides, Chen Yan was her first love, and he will be her last.

How can a first love not even have a single word of confession?

I just want to hear you say "I like you".

Chen Yan finally realized what was happening.

Seeing the girl pouting slightly and looking somewhat resentful, I couldn't help but smile.

That was indeed something he overlooked.

I do owe this little iceberg a confession.

His eyes were smiling as he gently cupped Jung Soo-jung's cheeks, looking into her gaze which seemed to be avoiding his eyes, and said, word by word:

"Soojung, I like you."

Krystal Jung's eyes flickered, she forcibly suppressed the corners of her mouth that were about to turn up involuntarily, coughed lightly, and gave a comment.

"Hmm, it feels alright, I accept it."

Seeing the girl suddenly become arrogant again, Chen Yan chuckled.

"It's alright, I guess I need to practice more. How about this, I'll say it to you every day until you're satisfied, okay?"

Krystal Jung immediately looked disgusted: "Ugh, these kinds of words only create a sense of surprise when they're said for the first time or when the atmosphere is right. If you say them every day, it just makes people feel nauseous and want to vomit, you know that?"

"Oh, okay, then I won't say it anymore."

"Oh! I told you to say it at the appropriate time, not to 'uh'."

The girl immediately glared at Chen Yan angrily.

That scoundrel definitely did it on purpose.

My intention was clearly to let him speak when he should, but he simply stopped speaking altogether.

But before she could finish her accusations, the scoundrel suddenly covered her mouth with a hand gag.

The symbolic resistance quickly ceased, and the light kiss turned into a deep kiss.

Under the cold moonlight, snowflakes continued to dance in the night sky, and on the ground, the shadows of the two people grew longer and longer, gradually covering them with the falling snow.

The car door closed, and back inside the warm car, Chen Yan rubbed his hands together and looked at Jung Soo-jung in the passenger seat, reaching out to pat the snowflakes off her clothes.

"Have you had fun?"

"Hmm~"

Krystal Jung nodded happily.

She was happy to see the first snow with the man and hear his confession of love.

"Then let's go home?"

Chen Yan glanced at the time; it was almost 12:30.

"Good~"

Krystal Jung agreed, reached out and pulled the seatbelt over to fasten it, her eyes subconsciously glancing around the car interior before suddenly pausing.

"I remember this car, didn't Jessica buy it?"

"Correct."

The girl nodded, then her eyes suddenly darted around: "You and Jessica didn't do anything in the car, did you?"

"cough cough"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan, who was about to start the car, subconsciously paused.

Krystal raised an eyebrow; how could she not know the answer?

"Ha~"

She let out a laugh that was hard to decipher, and her gaze toward the person was enigmatic.

Chen Yan gave a somewhat awkward smile, not intending to continue the conversation with the little iceberg on this topic.

This is not something I can talk to her about.

"go home."

He turned his head, looked ahead, said something, and then started the car again.

At this moment, Krystal Jung, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke up again:

"I also want."
