Peninsula: The idol by the bedside refreshes randomly.

Kim Tae-yeon opened the delivery boxes on the ground one by one.

"What did you buy?" Jessica asked from the side.

"These are all things Xiaoran might need. Don't just stand there watching, help unpack them!"

"Alright."

Jessica turned around and grabbed a small knife for opening packages. Then she sat cross-legged on the ground, reached for the nearest package, and opened it.

She was slightly taken aback when she saw what was inside the package.

Holding the item in her hand, Jessica turned to her and asked, "Why did you buy a stun gun?"

Kim Tae-yeon turned her head and glanced at it: "Oh, that's for Xiaoran to use for self-defense."

"For Chen Ran's self-defense? What is he supposed to defend himself against?"

If the house continues to be connected, Yoona will most likely be connected next month.

Buying a stun gun, are you going to use it to shock Yoona?

"I was thinking of connecting it to Yoona or something, but it's all just speculation. What if the house connects to someone else? Theoretically, it could be anyone." "If the house connects to a man this time, or even someone like senior Ma Dong-seok, Xiao Ran can use this for self-defense."

Jessica's eyes widened instantly.

Ma...Ma Dong-seok?

This was something she hadn't expected at all.

"Then... then this stun gun probably won't be able to deal with someone as big as Ma Dong-seok, right?"

Kim Tae-yeon, who was unpacking a package, paused and blinked in confusion.

Yeah, that makes sense.

This stun gun is definitely not effective against people with that kind of physique.

"What should we do? We can't buy large stun guns online."

"Hmm... how about I go back to America and buy a biubiubiu?"

"If it's not mold, how could it have been brought into the peninsula?"

"Um, that seems to be true." Kim Tae-yeon pursed her lips.

"Forget it, we were thinking too extremely. The house probably won't be connected to people like that. Just buy some protective gear as usual."

"Too."

The two continued unpacking the packages.

Pepper spray, baseball bats, goggles—basically all sorts of random stuff.

"By the way, did you call Yoona over?" Kim Tae-yeon asked, turning her head.

"Yes, it's been called. It should be arriving soon."

Today, since Yoona was off work, Taeyeon and Jessica decided to invite her over to their home to discuss the house connection.

Shortly after he finished speaking, the doorbell rang at the front door.

"It must be Yoona who's here."

Jessica got up and walked towards the door. She glanced at the security camera at the entrance and suddenly froze.

As I walked to the door and opened it, Yoona's tall figure appeared before me. But besides Yoona, there was another tall figure standing beside her.

"Unnie," Yoona greeted with her doe-like eyes.

Jessica nodded, then turned to look at the other figure beside her and frowned.

"Jung Soo-jung, what brings you here?"

"Of course I came to find you. I got home and found you weren't there, so I guessed you were here with Taeyeon unnie. I didn't expect to run into Yoona unnie in the underground parking garage, so we came up together."

Krystal looked at her unnie and Yoona next to her with a smile in her eyes.

It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.

Jessica invited Yoona unnie to Taeyeon unnie's house. The three of them must be discussing something, and Jessica thought it would be a good opportunity to join in the fun.

"Unnie, let Yoona and me in quickly!"

Jessica rolled her eyes at her and turned to go inside.

Since she's already here, there's no way to get rid of her, so let her join in the fun.

Krystal smiled, her eyes narrowing, and pulled Yoona, who was standing next to her, inside. Once inside, she greeted Taeyeon, who had just gotten up.

"Taeyeon unnie, it's been a long time."

"Krystal is here."

"Yes, I came to see Jessica. I guessed she was with you, Unnie."

Looking at the mess on the floor, Lim Yoona asked in confusion:

"Unnie, what are all these?"

"Oh, these are all for Xiaoran, in case anything goes wrong when the house is reconnected in a few days."

Lim Yoona was slightly taken aback, blinking her doe-like eyes.

"So...all these things are for guarding against me?"

Everyone says that the house is most likely to be connected to her next month, so these things are probably meant to keep an eye on her.

Kim Tae-yeon was also taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled and said:

"No, this is just in case. Although it's most likely to be you next month, it might not be. I'm just worried that something might happen, so I'm buying some things for Xiaoran to protect herself." Please remember the only official website address for this novel: www.deqixs.org. The website owner has only this one website; other websites may be discontinued at any time.

Before Yoona could reply, Krystal suddenly interjected:

"It could be me, it's not Yoona unnie."

"Hey! Krystal Jung, what's it to you?!"

Jessica frowned upon hearing this, immediately becoming displeased.

"What's wrong? I didn't say anything wrong."

Ignoring Jessica's outburst, Krystal stubbornly continued, "Based on my previous speculation, not only is Yoona unnie a possibility, but I am also very likely to be one, okay?"

"Jessica, you called Yoona unnie here today to talk about the house connection, right? Then why didn't you call me? I was also a candidate, you know."

"You can't," Jessica said through gritted teeth.

"Why? What's the reason?"

"There's no reason why it's impossible; it's simply impossible."

Jessica frowned at Krystal, feeling inexplicably a little annoyed. Why did she have to be so eager to be connected to the house?

You know perfectly well that once you're connected to the house, you'll be sharing a bed with Chen Ran.

You might even be touched by Chen Ran...

To put it bluntly, even one's innocence could be tarnished.

Krystal curled her lip: "Tch, what you say doesn't count. You're not even the owner of the house now."

"ah!"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Kim Tae-yeon quickly stepped in to break them up.

"Alright, alright, let's sit down and talk about serious matters."

"Yes, let's talk about business first. I'm only free this afternoon," Yoona said.

Jessica and Krystal remained silent.

The two looked at each other, one clearly a little angry, the other clearly a little unconvinced.

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-a each pulled one of them to the sofa and sat down. Im Yoon-a went straight to the point: "Unnie, tell me in detail, what's the specific situation regarding the connection to the house?"

"Oh, that's how I was..."

Kim Tae-yeon described in detail what happened when she woke up the next morning.

After listening, Lim Yoona nodded thoughtfully.

"In other words, there was nothing unusual the night we connected; we just slept normally."

"Then when I woke up the next morning, the house was pieced together, and I was sleeping in the same bed as Chen Ran. There were no other abnormalities or side effects."

Kim Tae-yeon nodded: "Yes, that's about right."

"Where's Jessica?"

"My situation was similar to Taeyeon's. On the night the house reconnected, right after midnight, Chen Ran and I suddenly passed out uncontrollably. When we woke up, we found that the house had reconnected."

Lin Yoona sorted out the information in her mind and felt more confident.

Ultimately, what needs to be prepared is the situation where you end up sharing a bed with Chen Ran without even realizing it.

So she should just wear normal clothes that night, nothing more than avoiding loose pajamas. Aside from that, there doesn't seem to be anything else she needs to prepare.

Krystal Jung, who was standing to the side, nodded thoughtfully.

"So it's that simple. Looks like we don't need to prepare anything special."

Jessica's eye twitched: "Didn't you hear what Taeyeon just said? She'll be sleeping in the same bed as Chen Ran. Don't you think we need to prepare anything?"

Although she didn't want the house connected to Krystal, it was indeed beyond her control.

But judging from her current appearance, she doesn't seem to care about anything at all.

You just accepted the idea of ​​sharing a bed with a man so casually?

Krystal glanced at Jessica and said, "It's okay. Everyone's dressed, and Chen Ran doesn't sleep naked. Besides, he won't do anything to me. And Chen Ran is one of us."

"Who's on your side?" Jessica retorted immediately.

"What? He's not your man? Then he's one of our own, isn't he?" Krystal asked casually.

"You..." Jessica hesitated, unable to find a reason to refute.

That's why you can't sleep in the same bed with him. Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Lim Yoona quickly interjected:

"Unnie, does Chen Ran have a habit of fidgeting in his sleep at night?"

If Chen Ran has a bad habit of fidgeting while sleeping at night, she'll have to find a way to prevent it.

"Forehead..."

Kim Tae-yeon glanced at Jessica subconsciously, their eyes meeting briefly before looking away again.

"Xiao Ran sleeps very quietly at night and doesn't have the habit of moving around."

It's just that the hand automatically positions itself.

However, as Jessica said before, Yoona is so young, she should be fine.

"Oh, that's good."

Yoona nodded, then quickly thought of another question.

"Unnie, if the house really does connect to mine next month, will you and Jessica unnie move in?"

Kim Tae-yeon and Jessica exchanged glances. "Jessica and I have already thought about this. We won't move in, but we'll come to see Xiaoran occasionally when you're home."

"Okay, I got it." Lim Yoona smiled.

She wouldn't refuse if the two unnies wanted to move in, but it would definitely be best if they didn't.

These two unnies are currently in a negative-distance relationship with Chen Ran, and she doesn't want to become a third wheel, or even accidentally witness the live broadcast.

Thinking about that scene, even with all her years of experience, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Moreover, she had prepared a series of revenge plans for Chen Ran.

If those two unnies move in, it will hinder her plans.

"In that case, if the house is attached to mine next month, Jessica, you don't need to move in with me. Just come over occasionally."

Krystal, who was standing nearby, then chimed in.

Jessica's temples were bulging with veins.

Why are you everywhere? I'm still thinking about how the house connects to you.

"Hey, Krystal Jung!" "What? Am I wrong? It's my house, of course I have the right to do this."

If it really is her next month, then she will definitely take this opportunity to really get her hands on Jessica.

She would never miss such an opportunity.

"I think you're just asking for trouble today."

Suddenly, Jessica sprang up and pounced on Krystal.

You're so eager to have the house attached to you, but now that it's attached, you won't even let me move in. What do you want to do with Chen Ran all by yourself at home?

Over the years, Krystal has accumulated extensive experience in fighting Jessica, allowing her to anticipate and dodge in advance.

"Stop right there!"

"You think I'll just stand still because you tell me to? Do you think I'm as stupid as you?"

"Who are you calling a fool!"

"Tch, Jessica, don't come to my house the night the house is reconnected. If you cause me to choose someone else instead, ugh!"

"Hey!" Yoona and Taeyeon, who were standing nearby, smiled helplessly as they listened to the two's childish argument.

No matter how many years have passed, these two are still bickering like this.

Left with no other option, the two could only get up and try to break up the fight.

---

A few hours later, as night fell, in Tara's dormitory.

"Knock knock"

Hearing the knock on the door, Park Jiyeon, who was lying on the bed, looked up in confusion.

"Enter."

The door opened, and Ham Eun-jung walked in.

"Eunjung unnie~"

"Um, Jiyeon, are you free right now?"

She came in after seeing Park Hyomin go to take a shower. "Yeah, what's wrong, Eunjung unnie? What's the matter?"

"There's something I wanted to tell you." Ham Eun-jung walked over and sat down by Park Ji-yeon's bedside.

Park Jiyeon sat up in bed and said with a grin, "Unnie, you say it."

"Um... Jiyeon, didn't you say the other day that you wanted to buy a bottle of perfume as a thank-you gift for Chen Ran?"

"Yes, I've already made my selection and am about to place the order."

"Have you made your choice?"

Ham Eun-jung was taken aback, not expecting that she had arrived at such a convenient time.

Since that's the case, we must stop her even more and minimize the harm.

"Um...that's right, Shirley visited the film set today."

Park Jiyeon blinked: "Sulli visited your film set."

Almost immediately, she realized that she could also visit the film set.

I'm going to visit Eun-jung unnie on set and also see oppa. And it seems like I can go twice.

I'll go once with a few other unnies, and then go once by myself.

"right."

Ham Eun-jung nodded: "And I also saw her give Chen Ran a bottle of perfume, which Chen Ran accepted."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "When I watched her chat with Chen Ranxi and the way she gave him gifts, I felt like she might... like Chen Ranxi."

As soon as Ham Eun-jung finished speaking, she carefully observed the changes in Park Ji-yeon's expression.

It's not that she speaks so directly; rather, given Park Jiyeon's thought process, she has to be direct, otherwise the listener might not understand.

Park Jiyeon was momentarily stunned.

"Sulli gave oppa a bottle of perfume, and... does she like oppa?"

Yes, I think so.

Ham Eun-jung said directly, "Just like what Qri unnie said last time, Chen Ran already has Jessica Jung and Kim Tae-yeon by her side, and now there's Sulli too. I think... you shouldn't join in anymore."

Park Jiyeon's face flushed red instantly, and she weakly protested, "I...I didn't say I wanted to join in. I...I just wanted to give oppa a bottle of perfume as a thank you gift."

Ham Eun-jung sighed softly as she watched her blush.

"It would be best if you didn't, then I wouldn't be worried. I'm just telling you what I know."

"Okay, I understand, Eunjung unnie."

"Okay, then you should get some rest."

"it is good."

Ham Eun-jung glanced at Park Ji-yeon's expression, patted her head, and prepared to get up and leave.

She made herself very clear, and Park Jiyeon must have listened to her.

Park Jiyeon sat on the bed, watching Ham Eunjung walk out of the room, her expression instantly clouded over.

Her lips gradually tightened.

Jessica Jung, Taeyeon Kim, and Sulli, too.

It does seem quite complicated. And...

She's entering the game now, which seems a bit late; she doesn't have much of a chance of winning.

After sitting there in silence for a while, Park Jiyeon lowered her head and opened her phone.

Her phone was still on the payment page for the men's perfume she had chosen.

A few seconds later, she moved her finger slightly and exited the payment page.

P.S.: I went out to take care of some things today, and will resume 6k updates tomorrow.
