Peninsula: Starting with the nation's first love, the white moonlight

Chapter 102 Three Women Make a Drama

After seeing Lin Yoona off, Li Luran leaned back on the sofa and rubbed his temples.

It has to be said that despite her slender appearance, Yoona has an unusually large appetite.

Especially right after she finished eating, she clearly still looked like she wanted more.

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Luran returned to the bedroom and subconsciously reached into his pockets, only to find them empty. He then remembered that his phone was still charging.

He quickly grabbed his phone and saw a bunch of unread messages pop up on the screen.

The first message was from Bae Suzy.

[Li Luran, I'm so bored at home. My mom nags me every day, it's driving me crazy. Are you free tomorrow? Can you take me out for a walk to cheer me up?]

A pitiful emoji followed immediately.

Li Luran's lips twitched, and his gaze shifted downwards.

The second message was a text from Kim Tae-yeon letting her know she was safe.

[Li Luran, I've arrived at the dormitory safely.]

Before he could even catch his breath, a third message quickly came into view.

It was sent by Lee Ji-eun.

[Li Luran, did you simply vanish from the face of the earth?]

I'm going to participate in a music show the day after tomorrow, so remember to come to the company tomorrow and listen to the audio tracks for me.

[If you dare not come, you're dead!!!]

The three exclamation marks exuded a strong sense of menace even through the screen.

Li Luran stared at the three messages on his phone screen, and his brain instantly went blank.

He gripped his phone, shifting his posture anxiously several times, carefully considering which of the three people he should reply to first to ensure safety.

After thinking it over for a while, he decided to go back to Kim Tae-yeon first.

After all, Suzy and Ji-eun had both made appointments with him for tomorrow, while Taeyeon's message was simply to let him know she was safe.

It's always good to tackle the simpler things first.

[Taeyeon, I'm so sorry, my phone died and shut down automatically, that's why I didn't see your message to let me know you were safe.]

I don't know if you're asleep yet. Anyway, goodnight, sweet dreams.

After pressing the send button, Li Luran let out a long sigh of relief, but he hadn't even fully caught his breath yet.

Kim Tae-yeon replies to her messages almost instantly.

It's okay, I'm getting ready to sleep anyway.

[Tomorrow is the last day of the holiday. Where are you planning to go?]

Upon seeing the news about Kim Tae-yeon, Lee Lu-ran felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, and he was utterly devastated.

Now all three women have come up with the same question: what are his plans for tomorrow?

Li Luran threw down her phone in anguish and covered her face with both hands.

"Heavens above, someone save me! Please teach me how to reply to this!"

Just then, the phone screen lit up again.

Li Luran glanced at it; it was sent by Park Jihoon. However, he had no time to care about what was going on with him right now.

Li Luran sat quietly on the bed for several minutes, still unable to come up with a solution.

As the saying goes, three women make a drama, but Mr. Li simply couldn't be in two places at once!

What to do? Last Christmas, with only two women, he almost messed up. This time, with three women, it's practically hell.

Li Luran blanked out his mind; this wasn't the right thing to do, nor was it right not to reply.

Why not become a time management master and divide tomorrow into three parts?

Do not make jokes.

If anything goes wrong in any of these steps, or if there's an accidental collision...

The scene was too beautiful for him to even imagine.

Suddenly, his phone, which he had tossed on the bed, rang.

Li Luran was so frightened that he trembled all over and hurriedly grabbed his phone to take a look.

Lee Ji-eun's name flashed prominently on the screen.

Li Luran's heart sank. He hadn't expected his sister Zhi'en to call him directly. He pressed the answer button tremblingly.

"I know, I am grateful."

"Aren't you asleep yet, it's so late?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

This silence made Li Luran feel like he was being roasted on a fire every second.

Then, Ji-eun's slightly sarcastic words came through the receiver.

"Hey, isn't this our busy man?"

"I thought you'd been kidnapped by some female monster! You didn't even reply to my messages!"

"I swear, I really didn't mean to ignore you," Li Luran quickly swore to the heavens.

My phone died and shut down automatically; I just plugged it in. I was just about to reply to your message when your call came in—

"Um... Anyway, it's all my fault, I'm sorry."

"snort!"

Lee Ji-eun snorted heavily, her tone still haughty: "Why are you apologizing to me?"

"I'm nobody to you."

"Do whatever you want, go wherever you want, disappear if you want."

"You're a grown adult, it's none of my business and I don't want to interfere."

Listening to her insincere complaints, Li Luran sighed.

"I am grateful—"

His voice became somewhat low.

"To me, Zhi En is a very important person."

97

As soon as she said that, Lee Ji-eun was clearly flustered.

"What nonsense are you spouting in the middle of the night?!"

Immediately afterwards, a muffled "bang" came from the phone.

Then there was another rustling sound.

"Ji-eun, are you alright?" Li Luran asked worriedly when he heard the noise.

"Waaaaah—Li Luran, you big bastard!"

Ji-eun's younger sister's aggrieved voice, tinged with a hint of tears, came through the air.

"I accidentally fell off the bed and onto the floor, my butt hurts so much!"

"It's all your fault, saying those weird things all of a sudden!"

Li Luran pictured her rubbing her bottom and complaining, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault, it's my fault."

"Ji-eun, let's meet tomorrow!"

"In the usual place."

Upon hearing this, Ji-eun, who had been looking aggrieved, instantly became cheerful.

"Really?"

"Then you're not allowed to be late, and you're not allowed to stand me up!"

Li Luran leaned against the bed, a smile on her lips.

"Okay, since Ji-eun has spoken, I will definitely do as she says."

"Alright, it's getting late, let's get some rest. If someone comes to see me tomorrow with dark circles under their eyes, I'll definitely laugh at them."

"You dare! Hmph!"

Lee Ji-eun made two threatening sounds, like a little tiger.

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I really need to go wash up and go to bed. You should go to bed early tonight too."

After saying that, Ji-eun happily hung up the phone.

Hannam-dong Apartment.

Lee Ji-eun tossed her phone aside, happily rolled around on the bed twice, and kicked her little feet around.

Thinking of what Li Luran had just said about her being a very important person to him, she felt her cheeks burning.

"He asked me out tomorrow, is he planning to confess his feelings to me?"

"If he really confesses his feelings, should I say yes immediately? Or would it be better to be a little more reserved?"

Ji-eun's younger sister became more and more excited as she thought about it, and unsurprisingly, she suffered from insomnia again tonight.
