Peninsula: The idol by the bedside refreshes randomly.

Chapter 115: Caught in the act

The following evening, in 2012, somewhere in Seoul.

After finishing her last activity of the day, Yoona said goodbye to the fans who had been waiting for her and got into her van.

As the car door closed, her expression gradually relaxed. She said to her manager in the passenger seat, "Oppa, I'm not going back to the dorm tonight. I need to go home. You can take me home."

"Okay."

Leaning back in her chair, Yoona took out her phone and glanced at the time.

18: 06.

It's still early, I'll go home first, take a shower and change my clothes, and then make a surprise visit to Chen Ran's house.

Furthermore, Taeyeon unnie has a schedule tonight, and Jessica unnie went home.

With both key figures absent, this is the perfect opportunity.

Lin Yoona's doe eyes flickered slightly as she began to think about how to investigate when she went to Chen Ran's house later.

Cheongdam-dong, 2025.

"Goodbye, oppa. You had a great day."

Im Yoon-ah said goodbye to her manager and driver near the elevator entrance and then turned to walk towards the elevator.

Back home, she took a shower, changed her clothes, grabbed her car keys, and went out again.

Driving to a large supermarket nearby, Lin Chongji put on a mask, got out of the car, and pushed a shopping cart into the supermarket.

Although she was going to raid Kim Tae-yeon's house, she couldn't just go empty-handed.

You have to come up with a "surprise" reason, right?

Yoona went straight to the snack section and started picking out some snacks that Taeyeon liked.

Take two bags of Squirtle potato chips.

Take some caramel cookies too.

And most importantly, take two packs of fruit gummies of each flavor.

That unnie has a childlike palate; she loves eating chewy, sweet and sour foods, and that hasn't changed over the years.

After buying snacks, Yoona headed to the food section.

When I visited last time, Taeyeon unnie had a lot of food in her refrigerator. A few days have passed, and it should be almost all used up.

After all, it's possible that the two of them ate together.

Yoona pushed her cart to the meat section and picked out two boxes of fresh Korean beef to put in her shopping cart.

He glanced around again, intending to buy some other meat.

The next second, however, he froze, his gaze fixed on the petite figure not far away.

Kim Tae-yeon held the phone in one hand and put a box of beef tenderloin into the shopping cart with the other.

"Okay, I understand, Xiaoran. I won't buy too much, don't worry."

"Are you home yet?... The car was taken for maintenance. How are you getting home?... Oh, by subway."

Kim Tae-yeon frowned: "How about I buy you another car? You can use it in case of emergencies, and you can switch between the two cars."

""

"...Okay, I forgot it can't be used anymore. Be careful on your way home. I've finished buying groceries and am heading home now... See you at home~"

Kim Tae-yeon hung up the phone with a gentle expression, and was about to put another box of beef tenderloin into her shopping cart.

"Unnie".

A voice suddenly sounded behind her.

Kim Tae-yeon was startled, and her body trembled involuntarily.

She turned her head and saw Yoona's smiling doe eyes, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yoona, you startled me."

Yoona blinked her doe-like eyes and glanced at the shopping cart behind Taeyeon, her eyes gleaming slightly.

"What a coincidence, unnie! I just happened to run into you here. I was just about to buy something and then go to your house to find you."

Although meeting Kim Tae-yeon here was a bit unexpected and thwarted her surprise attack plan, Lin Chong-er now knows the answers to some questions.

Kim Tae-yeon was taken aback: "Come to my house to find me?"

"Yeah, I hadn't seen you for several days, and I happened to have some free time tonight, so I thought I'd go see you."

Yoona pointed to the shopping cart next to her.

"Look, I bought the snacks you like, and I'm planning to buy some groceries before going to your house."

"oh..."

Kim Tae-yeon glanced at the shopping cart and responded somewhat awkwardly.

What's wrong with Chong'er? Why does she keep wanting to go to my house lately? I've never seen her this clingy before.

If she hadn't run into me here, then when she came to my house, it would have been while Xiaoran was cooking.

If they were to run into each other and something were discovered, her private world with Xiaoran would likely be constantly being invaded by another person.

Wait, could Yoona have already discovered something?

"Unnie, you're out buying groceries too?"

Im Yoona picked up the box of beef tenderloin from Kim Tae-yeon's shopping cart, looked at it, and then looked up at Kim Tae-yeon.

"Oh...right, I didn't have much food left at home, so I came out to buy some."

"I see."

Yoona nodded, then suddenly changed the subject.

"But I remember when I went there a few days ago, didn't you have a whole refrigerator full of food? That should be enough for you to eat for a month, right?"

Kim Tae-yeon was taken aback and quickly came up with an excuse.

"Oh... I've been learning to cook lately, you know Yoona, but sometimes I can't get the heat right, so I waste a lot of ingredients."

This explanation should be quite reasonable.

"Oh, that's true."

Kim Tae-yeon smiled.

But the next second, Yoona said, "But unnie, why did you buy two toothbrushes? You live alone now."

She picked up a pair of toothbrushes from Kim Tae-yeon's shopping cart, turned to look at her unnie, and smiled inexplicably.

These toothbrush cups are even a couple's set!

"Unnie, this toothbrush cup isn't for me, is it?"

Kim Tae-yeon's smile froze.

Ah, I forgot about that.

She had seen it by chance while shopping at the supermarket and thought it would be a good idea to buy it to share with Chen Ran, so she took it.

She pursed her lips.

As if afraid that she still didn't want to admit it, Lim Yoona took out two more pairs of slippers from the shopping cart.

"Unnie, these slippers look like men's shoes. They can't possibly be for me, can they?"

And this is also a couple's style.

She looked at Kim Tae-yeon, her doe-like eyes slightly narrowed.

Admit it, unnie, there is a man in your family!

She noticed the two matching items in the shopping cart immediately.

Having these two things already says a lot, so whether or not we go to Kim Tae-yeon's house is no longer important.

Kim Tae-yeon glanced at the two pairs of slippers, then at Im Yoon-ah, and finally lowered her eyes in silence.

She never expected that Lin Yoona would discover Chen Ran's affair in this way.

The peninsula is still too small, and she and Yoona live too close to each other; they can bump into each other even when they go out to buy groceries.

"Unnie, let's find a place where you can confess honestly."

Supermarkets are obviously not a suitable place to talk about this kind of thing, and there's also the risk of being recognized.

Kim Tae-yeon nodded.

After paying the bill, the two went to a coffee shop they frequented.

In the quiet private room, the two sat facing each other.

Im Yoona gathered her thoughts and spoke first: "Unnie, you're in a relationship, right? And you're living together?"

Kim Tae-yeon nodded slowly.

She did indeed start dating Chen Ran, and they were living together.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Lim Yoona frowned.

She had considered this possibility when she visited Kim Tae-yeon's house last time.

However, because of Chen Ran's situation, she quickly gave up the idea.

It's only been a month since Chen Ran passed away, and Taeyeon's phone wallpaper still features him. This shows that she hasn't moved on yet, so how could she possibly be dating?

If Kim Tae-yeon could get over it so quickly, then she wouldn't be Kim Tae-yeon.

But now, she actually nodded.

Yoona doesn't think Kim Tae-yeon can't date, but she feels that this way of doing things is completely unlike Kim Tae-yeon.

As she thought about it, her delicate eyebrows furrowed even more.

If she has truly found the right person, then she will naturally have no objections and will definitely offer her sincere blessings.

But the key issue is...

too fast.

Just two weeks ago, Kim Tae-yeon was still grieving the passing of Chen Ran.

But just half a month later, this unnie not only fell in love, but also moved in with her partner.

No matter how I think about it, something just doesn't feel right.

For a moment, Yoona even wondered if she, as an unnie, had been cursed.

When Kim Tae-yeon was on the phone just now, she vaguely heard this unnie saying that she was going to buy the other person a car or something.

They've only been together a short time, and he's already thinking about buying her a car.

This unnie isn't love-struck either.

Something's really wrong.

Yoona collected her thoughts, looked at Taeyeon, and asked, "Unnie, you didn't start dating Chen Ran just because you wanted to get over his passing, did you?"

Let's figure out Taeyeon unnie's sudden relationship first.

Upon hearing this, Kim Tae-yeon blinked, her expression turning somewhat strange.

Is it because I want to get over Xiaoran's passing that I started dating her?

Dispelling this absurd thought, Kim Tae-yeon replied, "Of course not."

"Then, unnie, can you tell me who the other person is?"

Kim Tae-yeon frowned.

Telling Yoona might not be a bad idea.

According to KrystaI's deduction, if the house continues to be connected next month, then Yoona is one of the most likely candidates.

Yoona is someone I can trust; there won't be any problems telling her about the house.

But shouldn't we ask Xiaoran's opinion first?

After all, half of the house belongs to Chen Ran, which is their shared secret, so they should definitely let him know.

Across from her, Yoona noticed her unnie looking thoughtful and asked, "What's wrong, unnie? Is it something you can't say? Didn't you say the other person is someone I know?"

As she spoke, Yoona was also mentally filtering out potential candidates.

Kim Tae-yeon is a homebody, so her social circle is very fixed.

If it's someone you know, then the scope becomes even smaller.

But after searching through the options, Yoona frowned again.

I don't think it resembles either of them.

At that moment, Kim Tae-yeon on the other end spoke up, "I need to call him first."

Yoona blinked and nodded understandingly.

"Oh, okay, unnie, go ahead and ask."

It was a bit mysterious, and she was genuinely curious about who the other person was.

It couldn't possibly be Heechul oppa, could it?

Im Yoona was startled by her own bizarre idea and immediately dispelled the somewhat terrifying thought.

On the other end, Kim Tae-yeon had already dialed Chen Ran's number.

"Hey, it's me. Are you home yet?... Oh, okay... I have something I want to tell you. Yoona is across from me right now. Can I tell her about the house?... Okay, I understand. I'll be back later."

As Yoona listened to Tae-yeon's words and observed her expression, she couldn't help but purse her lips.

Looking at Taeyeon's gentle demeanor, it seems she really likes him.

but...

What does "house matter" mean?

She just wanted to know who the other person was; she didn't ask about the house.
