Peninsula: These female celebrities are all so neurotic.

At the event in Seoul, Choi Sulli leaned back in her chair, looking at the message from Liu Zimu confirming that she was safe.

She typed a message: "Oppa, remember to eat over there, don't just eat whatever you want again."

send.

I stared at the screen for a few seconds without replying.

She placed her phone face down on her lap, leaned back in her seat, and the makeup artist quickly came over to touch up her makeup.

With her eyes closed, all she could see in her mind was Liu Zimu's back as he turned away at the airport when she saw him off.

"Jungsoo oppa, I'll go home by myself after today's schedule."

Park Jung-soo was stunned: "You're going to see Liu Zimu again?"

"no."

Choi Sulli said two words and then stopped.

Park Jung-soo glanced at her, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't ask where she was going.

This woman has been acting more and more unpredictably lately; asking her is pointless.

He's so tired, really so tired.

"But the PD is thinking of rushing to record a new episode of your show tonight."

Choi Sulli glanced at him.

The Truth Shop...

But I have more important things to do right now!

"I really have something to do! Just say we'll stick to the plan." She smiled.

Park Jung-soo sighed, glanced at her several times, and then went to contact her.

She's really changed; she's completely disobedient now.

At 7 p.m.

Choi Sulli parked her car in the underground parking lot, turned off the engine, and sat in the driver's seat for more than ten seconds before opening the door.

She was the only one in the elevator, and the numbers kept jumping up and down.

As she looked at those numbers, Liu Zimu's face popped into her mind again.

He placed the USB drive in her hand with a calm expression.

But Sulli knew that wasn't the case.

She understood this man as well as she understood herself.

The contents of this USB drive are unlikely to be ordinary.

I rang the doorbell.

Footsteps came from inside, very softly.

The door opened a crack, revealing half a face.

Goo Hara's eyes were swollen, with dark circles under her eyes, and her lips were chapped; she looked almost unrecognizable.

Upon seeing Choi Sulli, she paused for a moment, then exclaimed, "Sulli?"

"Unnie, I'm here."

Goo Hara opened the door.

Sulli saw her.

She was wearing an oversized gray hoodie, and she looked very thin and颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, apathy, or a lack of motivation). She was completely skin and bones.

"Why are you here?" Goo Hara's voice was a little hoarse.

"I missed you. I knew you were home, so I came to see you." Choi Sulli walked in and glanced at the living room as she changed her shoes.

On the coffee table were untidy takeout boxes, crumpled tissues, and quite a few empty wine bottles.

The curtains were also drawn tightly shut.

Goo Hara hurriedly pulled the blanket off the sofa, not wanting her close sister to see her like this.

"Shirley, please sit down. I'll get you some water."

"Unnie, no need."

Goo Hara went to the water dispenser and poured two glasses of warm water.

Choi Sulli sat down on the sofa, and Goo Hara sat down as well. The two sat side by side, and for a moment it was a little quiet, with neither of them speaking.

The TV was off; the only sound was the hum of the refrigerator.

Goo Hara held her water glass, staring at the water inside. Her lips moved a few times, but she didn't say anything.

Choi Sulli turned her head to look at her.

This older sister is a few years older than her. She used to be so flamboyant on stage, and the whole audience would scream when she danced.

Now he's curled up on the sofa, like a lump of rotten meat.

"Unnie," Sulli took a breath, "I saw those news articles online. You're very brave."

Goo Hara glanced at her: "You're not even doing well yourself, so don't look at those comments."

Choi Sulli took a deep breath, took out a USB drive from her bag, and placed it on the coffee table.

Goo Hara looked down at the small black USB drive with a sticky note bearing her name on it, her face full of confusion: "What's this?"

"Someone asked me to give this to you."

"Who?"

Choi Sulli thought for a moment: "A... friend."

Goo Hara picked up the USB drive and examined it closely, her eyes filled with confusion: "What friend? What's inside?"

"I don't know either." Choi Sulli was telling the truth.

Goo Hara stared at the USB drive for a few seconds, about to say something, when the doorbell rang again.

Both of them looked towards the door at the same time.

Goo Hara stood up to open the door, this time without locking it, and simply pulled it open.

Lee Ji-eun was standing outside the door.

She was wearing a beige down jacket over a black sweater, her face was red from the cold, and she was carrying a paper bag.

"Know gratitude?"

"Unnie." Lee Ji-eun came in and was taken aback when she saw Choi Sulli. "Sulli's here too?"

The three people stared at each other for a second, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Lee Ji-eun is very close to Choi Sulli and is also an old acquaintance of Goo Hara, but the three of them haven't had many opportunities to get together lately.

"Why are you here too?" Goo Hara asked.

Lee Ji-eun's voice was soft as she held up the paper bag in her hand: "I brought you ginseng chicken soup. You probably didn't eat properly again."

She changed her shoes and walked in, feeling a pang of sympathy for her two close friends who had been going through a tough time lately.

The three of them sat down on the sofa. Lee Ji-eun took out the ginseng chicken soup, opened the lid, and steam rose out, carrying a medicinal aroma.

"Drink the soup first, then we'll talk."

Goo Hara looked at the bowl of soup, her eyes suddenly reddening: "Sulli, why don't you eat with us too? Have you been eating properly lately?"

Lee Ji-eun looked at Choi Sulli with concern: "I watched your 'Jinri Market,' and you've been doing very well lately."

Sulli grinned, "Of course..."

She suddenly burst into unrestrained laughter: "I'm not the same person I used to be! I'm now the invincible Choi Jin-ri!"

Goo Hara and Lee Ji-eun were both stunned: "Sulli...Sulli, what happened to you?"

Choi Sulli thought for a moment, then opened her phone. It showed a photo of her and Liu Zimu. She handed it to the two of them, saying, "Holy crap!"

The two women were a little confused by her words, staring blankly at their phones: "Your boyfriend? He's not in the industry? He doesn't seem like anything special."

Sulli's face was filled with affection and happiness: "Yes, he's an ordinary person. I love him very much, so much! Because of him, I'm doing very well now!"

Lee Ji-eun suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "He looks familiar!"

Choi Sulli smiled but didn't say anything.

Liu Zimu first made the news because of Bae Joo-hyun, and the second time because of Park Chae-young.

Hmph~ They're all demons!

"Sherry, tell me more about it!"

"Wait a minute! You drink the chicken soup first." Choi Sulli put her hands on her hips and pointed at the chicken soup with an air of authority.

Goo Hara looked at Choi Sulli in this state and nodded blankly.

She picked up the bowl and looked at her two younger sisters who cared about her.

The atmosphere instantly returned to its previous somber state.

She took a big gulp, gasped from the heat, and tears immediately fell into the soup.

Lee Ji-eun didn't say anything, but simply reached out and patted her on the back.

Choi Sulli didn't say anything either, and sat quietly to the side.

The only sounds in the living room were Goo Hara drinking soup and the occasional sniffling.

After finishing the bowl of soup, Goo Hara put the bowl down, wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, and took a deep breath.

She picked up the USB drive, examined it from all angles, and then looked at Choi Sulli.

"Shirley, why did your friend give me this?"

"He said it would be useful to you."

"Who?"

Choi Sulli shook her head.

Goo Hara looks petite, but she's braver than anyone else.

Lee Ji-eun didn't think much of it. She just glanced at Choi Sulli and noticed that she seemed different.

Choi Sulli nodded to Goo Hara: "Take a look? I'm quite curious too."

Goo Hara stood up, took a laptop from the study, and turned it on.

While waiting for the computer to boot up, none of the three spoke; they were all somewhat curious.

The screen lit up, and Goo Hara inserted the USB drive.

A window popped up on the computer.

It's not a folder.

It turns out to be a pupil recognition interface.
