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

Chapter 110 Only Children Make Choices

Half an hour ago.

"Hey Yoona, why did you drag me along when you wanted to go out in this freezing weather?"

Sunny looked utterly hopeless as Yoona dragged her along, her expression completely drained, as if her soul was still lingering on that sofa in the dorm.

"Why don't you go find those long-legged girls to keep you company? You could even bring Taeyeon along!"

"Oh, Sunny unnie, if you keep staying in the dorm like this, you'll get moldy!"

Without turning her head, Yoona grabbed Sunny and walked forward.

"And have you forgotten our bet?"

Im Yoona suddenly stopped and turned to Sunny with a grin.

"It's a deal, you're buying coffee today."

"Arasso, Arasso!" Sunny pouted helplessly, resigned to her fate and followed this troublesome little devil.

Half an hour later, Yoona brought Sunny to the entrance of a secluded coffee shop.

Sunny, hands in her pockets, surveyed the café, then glanced at Yoona beside her, who was beaming with pride. "You little rascal, where did you find this place? How did you manage to hide it so far away?"

Im Yoona proudly shook her finger, "Unnie, let me tell you, don't let the small storefront fool you, the coffee here is absolutely amazing, and you can't find it anywhere else. If Yoonjin unnie didn't know the owner of this shop, I wouldn't have known that there was such good coffee in Seoul."

"Let's go, it's windy outside." Lim Yoona pushed open the door and went inside first.

"Ding-a-ling." The melodious sound of the wind chimes rang out.

The three people sitting by the window turned their heads to look when they heard the bell.

When she saw the man's face clearly, Yoona's eyes lit up immediately!

It was Li Luran!

Li Luran recognized her too, and was visibly taken aback. They'd only been apart for a few hours? How did they run into each other again?

Only Ji-eun's alarm went off at full blast. Lim Yoon-a? What's she doing here? And judging from Li Luran's reaction, do they know each other?

Yoona posed a danger to her only after Bae Suzy and Park Jiyeon.

"Yoona, why are you just standing there like an idiot and not moving—"

Sunny stepped out from behind Yoona and quickly noticed the three people inside.

"Huh, Sulli also has Ji-eun?"

"Sunny unnie, and Yoona unnie!" Sulli waved towards the door with a smile, her voice soft and sweet. "Why are you here too? Come and sit down with us!"

"Yoona, what's going on?"

Sunny tugged at Yoona's sleeve, thinking that Yoona had made plans with these people.

Yoona turned her head and winked at her, "Let's go, unnie, isn't this much more fun than just the two of us drinking coffee?"

After saying that, she smiled and walked towards the group.

Seeing this, Lee Ji-eun quickly stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "Hello, Sunny sunbaenim, hello, Yoona sunbaenim."

"Oh, Ji-eun, you don't need to be so formal."

Yoona waved her hand with a smile, "You calling us 'senior' makes us feel old."

"That's right, that's right."

Sulli smiled and chimed in, "Jieun unnie, don't be nervous, Yoona unnie is very easy to talk to."

"Then, you don't mind if we come together?" Yoona asked with a smile.

"Of course I don't mind!" Choi Sulli enthusiastically helped bring out a chair.

"Unnies, please sit down."

"Thank you, Shirley."

Yoona sat down gracefully, placing her hands folded on the table.

"What a coincidence to run into you here today! Sherry, do you come to this shop often?"

"This is my first time here, but Ji-eun unnie is a regular."

Shirley shook her head and took a small sip of her latte.

"I'll go order, you guys chat for a bit." Sunny glanced at the bar, then got up and walked over.

"Sulli, Ji-eun, and Lee Lu-ran, so the three of you—did you specifically plan to meet up for coffee today?"

She was speaking in a casual tone, but to Lee Ji-eun, it just didn't sound right.

What do you mean by "made an appointment"? This woman's tone is sarcastic. Couldn't she just say it was a gathering of friends? Why insist on emphasizing that there were three people?

Besides, if you come to a coffee shop and don't drink coffee, are you here to go on a blind date?

However—she noticed a detail: Lin Yoona actually called out Li Luran's name directly?

"Does Yoona sunbaen know Li Luran?" Lee Ji-eun clenched her fist secretly, trying to keep her tone calm.

"I guess you could say we know each other," Yoona admitted frankly, her tone completely calm.

"Didn't we meet backstage once before? The time you and Taeyeon bumped into each other by accident, wasn't he there too?"

After saying that, she suddenly tilted her head, her doe eyes slightly narrowed, "Or do you want to ask me why I know his name?"

Having her thoughts exposed, Lee Ji-eun didn't respond, but gritted her teeth inwardly, thinking to herself that this woman was indeed not simple.

Looking at Lee Ji-eun's expression, Lim Yoona found it extremely amusing. She chuckled softly, "Didn't you say it yourself, Ji-eun?" She tilted her head and blinked innocently, "Back in the backstage corridor, you called out to him, 'Lee Lu-ran.' I'm not hard of hearing, so I remembered it."

Lee Ji-eun blinked suspiciously, as if—it really was true.

She was a little dazed when Kim Tae-yeon bumped into her, and when she told Lee Lu-ran to let go, she did call his name.

But in that situation, the corridor was chaotic and there were so many people around, how come she still remembered it after so long?

Im Yoon-ah's memory is ridiculously good.

"But speaking of which, Li Luran is quite lucky with the ladies. He has two beauties, Shirley and Ji-eun, to accompany him for coffee. If other people knew, they would definitely be extremely envious."

"Yoona is joking."

Li Luran said calmly, "However, there is one thing I need to correct. It should be three beautiful women."

The air was quiet for a second.

"Pfft."

Seeing Li Luran's serious expression, Lin Yoona couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Sulli was also covering her mouth and chuckling, while Ji-eun's expression was unpleasant.

She lowered her head and stomped hard on the philandering man's foot under the table.

Li Luran's expression remained unchanged, but his hand holding the coffee cup trembled slightly.

"Li Luran really knows how to talk."

Just then, Sunny returned with two cups of coffee. Seeing Yoona laughing somewhat exaggeratedly, she asked in confusion, "What did I miss?"

"Sunny unnie, come quick!"

Yoona waved to her, and after she sat down, Yoona raised an eyebrow: "Li Luran, how many beauties are having coffee with you now?"

"Forehead----"

After being warned by Ji-eun's little feet, he dared not be naughty anymore and could only surrender with a wry smile: "You don't need to bully only me, do you?"

Watching the two chatter back and forth, Lee Ji-eun couldn't help but pout slightly.

What's wrong with Li Luran? I've never seen him talk to any woman this much before.

And then there's Lim Yoona, who not only came to interrupt their date, but also kept pestering Li Luran to talk to her.

"Oh, right!"

Im Yoona, quick-witted, suggested, "Li Luran, since everyone here is a beauty, may I ask, among them, which one do you like the most?"

Upon hearing this, the group fell silent and all turned to look at Li Luran.

Li Luran sighed inwardly. Just how enthusiastic were the people of the peninsula about this issue?

However, having weathered several storms, this small incident was no longer enough to cause him any trouble.

He calmly glanced at the four women and said unhurriedly, "There's a famous saying in China, I don't know if you've heard it before?"

"Ahem!"

Li Luran slowly clenched his fist with one hand and said exaggeratedly, "Only children make choices; adults, of course, are—"

"I want them all!"

There was a complete two-second silence.

"Pfft, hahahahahahaha!"

Yoona, who has the lowest threshold for laughter, was the first to break down, laughing so hard she collapsed onto the table, completely losing all semblance of an idol.

Sunny was amused and squinted her eyes, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Shirley was also covering her mouth and secretly laughing.

Only Ji-eun's younger sister didn't give him a kind look, and kicked Li Luran with her little foot again.
