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

Chapter 112 Mature Woman Lee Ji-eun

As the saying goes, three women make a drama, let alone four women present.

The four girls chatted away, talking about everything from their recent comebacks to which shops had released new desserts, and then about the year-end stage that had just ended.

Sunny and Shirley unexpectedly hit it off, and the two got together to discuss a newly released game, talking animatedly about it.

Li Luran was completely marginalized, unable to get a word in edgewise, and could only drink coffee listlessly.

Seeing that it was almost time, Lee Ji-eun tugged at Lee Lu-ran's sleeve and stood up: "Yoona sunbaenim, Sunny sunbaenim, we have some things to do later, so we'll take our leave now."

"Are you leaving so soon?" Im Yoona looked up, clearly still feeling a little reluctant to leave.

She was still figuring out how to get back at him, but then she realized he was about to leave. But then she thought, there's always another chance tonight, so there's no rush.

She stood up and earnestly instructed Li Luran, "Li Luran, you must protect our two princesses well later!"

"Don't worry." Li Luran nodded slightly.

After saying goodbye to Yoona and Sunny, the three of them walked out of the coffee shop and hailed a taxi on the street.

"Ji-eun, where are we going next?"

Lee Ji-eun was clearly still upset about what had just happened. She crossed her arms, glared angrily ahead, and coldly uttered three words: "Let's go shopping!"

Then she added, "You pay."

"oh----"

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Li Luran wisely chose to keep quiet.

Choi Sulli sat to the side, looking at the man who had been humiliated, and then at the sulking unnie.

She covered her mouth and leaned against the car window, secretly laughing all the way.

More than half an hour later, the three arrived at a high-end shopping mall in Myeongdong.

Once inside the mall, the two girls headed straight for the women's clothing section.

Lee Ji-eun, who had been aloof in the car, took Sulli's arm and picked up a piece of clothing to hold it up against herself.

Her anger came and went quickly; shopping was indeed the best way to release stress.

"Jinri, come try this on!" Lee Ji-eun held up a strawberry-patterned tank dress in front of Sulli, saying, "I think this one really suits your skin tone! You'll look super cute in it!"

Choi Sulli tilted her head and looked at it for a couple of seconds, then said coquettishly, "Unnie! This is so childish! I don't think it suits me at all; it looks like something a middle schooler would wear. Absolutely not!"

She put the clothes back down, then took a gray V-neck sweater from a nearby rack and shook it in front of Lee Ji-eun: "Unnie, don't you think this one suits me better?"

Lee Ji-eun looked at what she had chosen, then at what Sulli had chosen, and had to admit that Sulli's taste was indeed better than hers.

"Fine, fine, your taste is better than mine, I'll listen to you, okay?" She pouted haughtily and took a few steps forward, pretending to be angry.

"Of course!" Shirley smiled sweetly and took her arm.

As they walked, Sulli seemed to see something, let go of Ji-eun's hand and quickly walked over, "Unnie, come and try this on."

She grabbed a beige V-neck fitted knit top and paired it with a high-waisted black pencil skirt, then shoved it all into Lee Ji-eun's arms.

Lee Ji-eun unfolded the clothes and saw that the neckline was significantly lower than what she usually wore. Her face flushed slightly, and she muttered somewhat insecurely, "Jinri—isn't this too revealing?"

"Where is it showing!"

Sulli, hands on her hips, said with exasperation, "Unnie, look at yourself! That neckline, that skirt length—where's anything showing? This is called mature! This is called femininity, okay?!"

She leaned closer, lowered her voice, and said earnestly, "Unnie, listen to me. Li Luran seems like the mature man he is, so he'll definitely prefer more mature styles. You always wear those cute and adorable clothes, so of course he'll only see you as a little sister."

"But—" Lee Ji-eun was still making a last-ditch effort.

"No buts!"

Shirley interrupted her abruptly, glancing suggestively at Li Luran, who was sitting on the sofa waiting not far away, and continued to fan the flames: "Besides, when we were playing games at the coffee shop earlier, even though it was just a joke, he did say he likes the fuller-figured type. This knit sweater has a great cut, it's very deceptive visually, it'll definitely accentuate your curves immediately!"

As Lee Ji-eun listened to Shirley's words, the image of Lin Chong-er's earlier humiliation involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

She bit her lower lip. Although she was still hesitant and shy, driven by a competitive spirit, she finally made up her mind.

"Let's give it our all!"

She grabbed the clothes and rushed into the fitting room.

"Go, unnie!" Sulli whispered encouragement from outside.

After a while.

"Unnie? Are you done changing?" Choi Sulli leaned against the fitting room door and asked in a low voice.

"I've changed—but Truth, is this outfit really okay? I feel something's off."

"Come out first and let me see you." Shirley glanced back at Li Luran sitting on the bench, then quietly pulled the door of the fitting room.

Lee Ji-eun slowly and dawdled out from inside.

She crossed her arms in front of her, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she didn't dare to look up at the mirror.

"How is it?" she asked softly. "Does it seem strange?"

Sulli took a step back, looked her up and down, and then gave her a thumbs up: "Unnie, perfect!"

She leaned close to Lee Ji-eun's ear and whispered, "But it's not enough for me to just say it looks good; the right people have to see it too."

"Li Luran, come here for a second! There's a surprise!"

"Hey! Choi Jin-ri!"

Lee Ji-eun was so frightened that she almost immediately shrank back into the fitting room, but Sulli grabbed her arm and forcefully pressed her to the spot.

Li Luran took a few steps toward this place, and when he saw Li Zhi'en, he was stunned.

The V-neck knit top she wore perfectly accentuated her waist, and the neckline was just right, making it impossible to look away from her delicate collarbone and snow-white neck.

As Sulli said, this dress is extremely deceptive, miraculously making the originally somewhat slender Ji-eun appear to have a woman's graceful curves.

And that high-waisted short skirt accentuated her perfect leg shape to the fullest.

She has shed some of her girlish naiveté and gained a touch of mature womanly charm.

"How is it? Isn't it beautiful?" Shirley asked proudly from the side.

"Absolutely gorgeous!"

Li Luran didn't hold back his praise, "This outfit really suits you perfectly, Ji-eun."

Hearing his praise, the slight sense of shame in Lee Ji-eun's heart instantly vanished.

She lowered her head slightly, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear, but she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart.

"Then let's buy this set."
