Peninsula: The idol by the bedside refreshes randomly.

"Dinner is ready."

Chen Ran's voice suddenly came from the kitchen.

"OK."

Park Jiyeon responded, suppressed her thoughts, put down the ice pack in her hand, and got up to walk towards the restaurant.

On the table was a steaming bowl of Korean soybean paste soup, two bowls of rice, and a dish of kimchi.

A standard Korean breakfast.

Smelling the fragrance in the air, Park Jiyeon subconsciously sniffed and glanced at Chen Ran with slight surprise.

This fragrance smells even better than what Eun-jung unnie makes.

This man is such a good cook!

"Have a seat," Chen Ran said with a smile.

Park Ji-yeon didn't have many ingredients in her refrigerator suitable for making a Chinese breakfast, so she made a Korean breakfast instead.

Although Chen Ran doesn't usually like Korean food, he can accept it occasionally for a change. "Thank you," Park Jiyeon said, taking the chopsticks and spoon Chen Ran offered.

Seeing Chen Ran start eating, she also scooped a spoonful of soybean paste soup and put it in her mouth.

The aroma instantly filled her mouth, and Park Jiyeon's beautiful eyes lit up.

Seeing this, Chen Ran asked, "I added some things and adjusted the flavor myself. How is it? Is it to your liking?"

"Mmm, it tastes great."

"That's good."

The two continued eating.

After a moment, Park Jiyeon remembered the question she had been thinking about, looked up at Chen Ran opposite her, and said:

"Chen Ran, I want to ask, do we have to live together for the next month? Can't we live separately?"

If possible, she would still prefer to live alone.

When Chen Ran brings back Ham Eun-jung from 12, she will come back and tell her about it.

Normally, she and Chen Ran would not interfere with each other. Chen Ran paused in his chewing.

As if afraid he would misunderstand, Park Jiyeon explained again, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to hate you, it's just... it's just that I'm used to living alone, and I'm the one who moved out, you can continue to live here."

"I understand." Chen Ran nodded.

Unlike Jessica and Kim Tae-yeon, he has no connection whatsoever with Park Ji-yeon, who is 25 years old.

If he were in her shoes, he probably wouldn't be too willing to suddenly have her live with him for a month.

"But I don't know if the people in the house can move out within this month, because no one has tried it before."

For the first two months, Jessica and Kim Tae-yeon stayed in the house.

"I see..."

Park Jiyeon lowered her eyes slightly, pondered for a few seconds, then looked at Chen Ran and tentatively asked:

"How about... I give it a try?"

Chen Ran nodded while eating, "Sure, Jiyeon-ssi, you can decide for yourself, but I'm not sure if it's really okay, so I think Jiyeon-ssi should think it over carefully first."

He's starting to wonder if the people in the house can actually move out. If Park Jiyeon decides to move out after all, it'll be a good opportunity to conduct an experiment and see if it works.

If possible, he can move out if the house ends up with someone he doesn't like in the future.

Thinking of this, Chen Ran couldn't help but smile inexplicably as he looked at Park Jiyeon.

These are "guinea pigs" used to try out new fields.

Across from her, Park Jiyeon, who was deep in thought, didn't notice Chen Ran's gaze. After thinking for a while, she gritted her teeth.

"Chen Ran, I've decided to give it a try. After I finish eating, I'll move into my other house."

Chen Ran smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Seeing that Chen Ran readily agreed and respected her wishes, Park Jiyeon secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her goodwill towards Chen Ran increased.

No wonder I fell for him 12 years ago; he really is a great man.

But I wonder what Park Jiyeon would think if she knew that Chen Ran was using her as a guinea pig in his experiments.

After dinner, Park Jiyeon didn't linger. She quickly went upstairs, found a large suitcase in the walk-in closet, and then pushed it into the bedroom to start packing.

Downstairs, Chen Ran sat on the sofa, looking at the script in his hands, pondering how to revise the plot. Knowing that today was the day the house was reconnected, he had taken a day off and was now at home revising the script.

He didn't pay much attention to the faint noises coming from the second floor.

A moment later, the sound of suitcase wheels rolling over the tiles could be heard, followed by footsteps at the bottom of the stairs.

Park Jiyeon, who had changed into a black dress, soon appeared in front of him carrying a large suitcase.

"Chen Ran, I'll be leaving now. You can continue to stay in the bedroom; there's basically nothing of mine left there, so don't worry."

Chen Ran nodded: "Okay."

"Oh, right..."

Park Jiyeon handed her phone to Chen Ran.

"Let's exchange contact information. When you bring Eun-jung unnie, just call me. Or if you need me to open the door, just let me know. I'm usually free and will come over soon."

"it is good."

The two exchanged contact information and added each other on Kakao.

"Alright, I'll be going now." Please remember the only website address for this novel: www.deqixs.org. The website owner has only this one website; other websites may be discontinued at any time.

"Okay, be careful on the road."

"Um."

Park Jiyeon smiled politely, then turned around with her suitcase, changed her shoes at the entrance, opened the door she had been waiting for for 25 years, and walked out.

"click"

The door slammed shut.

The room fell silent instantly.

Chen Ran glanced around the room, feeling a strange sense of novelty.

This appears to be his return to living alone after two months.

Quickly regaining his senses, Chen Ran picked up the script, went upstairs to the second floor, entered the study, and began revising the script.

---

Somewhere in Seoul, in a moving van. In the back seat, Jessica Jung, who was fast asleep, suddenly opened her eyes, her body trembling slightly.

Jin Ruanruan, who was sleeping with her head resting on her shoulder, was awakened by the sudden tremor and opened her eyes groggily.

"What's wrong? Have we arrived yet?"

"no."

Jessica Jung took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

She glanced around the car.

Everyone except the driver was asleep.

Jessica Jung leaned close to Kim Yuen-yeon's ear and whispered, "Taeyeon, today seems to be the day Chen Ran's house is reconnected."

She was just drifting off to sleep when a thought suddenly popped into her head:

"Today seems to be the day Chen Ran's house is reconnected."

Then she woke up with a start.

Beside her, Kim Yuen-yeon, who had just closed her eyes again, opened them instantly upon hearing Jessica's words, blinking twice. "Is it today?"

"It should be. The player was changed on this day last month as well."

"Did you ask Chen Ran?"

"No, I just suddenly remembered it. I'll ask now."

Jessica Jung took out her phone, glanced at the others who were still fast asleep around her, opened Kakao, and sent a message to Chen Ran.

[Chen Ran, did the house switch connections today? Who did it?]

The message was marked as read a few seconds later, and Chen Ran's reply popped up quickly.

Yes, it's Jiyeon from 25.

Jiyeon at 25?!

Jessica Jung's eyes widened slightly.

Wasn't Yoona the most likely candidate before? How come it's suddenly Park Jiyeon?

Kim Yuen-yeon, who was also nearby and saw the news, looked surprised. This time it was Park Ji-yeon from T-ara.

Jessica Jung's eyes flickered slightly as she quickly typed: Are you explaining the situation to her now?

Chen Ran: No, everything has been made clear. She has already moved out.

They've moved out?!

Jessica Jung raised an eyebrow and immediately replied: After the houses are connected, can the people inside still move out?

Chen Ran: I don't know, but since Zhiyan wants to move out, I will naturally respect her decision.

Jessica Jung blinked, and a look of joy suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Good thing!

Park Jiyeon moved out, which means she has no feelings for Chen Ran at all.

One less potential competitor.

Moreover, Chen Ran is currently living alone, so it will be much more convenient for me to visit him in the future.

Upon closer reflection, it's all good. Jessica Jung's joy deepened even more.

After chatting with Chen Ran for a few more minutes and learning that he was revising the script, I didn't bother him anymore.

Beside her, Jin Ruanruan whispered, "So it's possible to move out after all?"

Jessica Jung shook her head: "I don't know, but it should be okay."

After learning who the person who had contacted the house this time, the two didn't talk much more and quickly closed their eyes to rest again.

At that moment, Lin Yoona, who was sitting next to Jin Ruanruan, suddenly twitched her eyelids.

---

In 2025, as night fell, the rain that had been falling all day finally stopped.

In another apartment of Park Ji-yeon, somewhere in Gangnam District.

Park Jiyeon, who had just taken a shower, came out of the bathroom with a face mask on.

She walked to the bedside and sat down. She raised her hand to touch the face mask on her face, glanced at the phone next to her, paused, and then picked up the phone to look at it.

There had been no news. Chen Ran hadn't sent her a message since she left this morning. Even now, Park Jiyeon still felt a little unreal.

If it weren't for the fact that her right calf wasn't still swollen and that Chen Ran's Kakao account was actually in her friend list, she would have really felt that everything that morning was a dream.

She glanced at the time again.

23: 53.

It wasn't even midnight yet; for her, who was used to sleeping in the early hours, the nightlife was just beginning.

Park Jiyeon kicked off her slippers and got into bed, ready to lie down.

The cell phone suddenly rang.

Park Jiyeon took the phone and smiled when she saw the words "Eunjung unnie" on the caller ID.

"Hey, unnie~"

"Ji-yeon, are you asleep?"

"Unnie, what time is it? Don't you know me? How could I possibly be sleeping now? Is something wrong, Unnie?"

"It's nothing, it's just that we were chatting last time, didn't we talk about holding a fan meeting in China at the end of the year?" "I've looked into it recently, and it's feasible, as long as it's held in Hong Kong. So, how about we officially confirm it?"

"Sure, I'm fine with it. I don't have anything else to do anyway," Park Jiyeon replied with a smile.

Right now, this is the only unnie in the group who cares about these things.

Unlike me and Hyomin unnie, who have already given up long ago.

Only Eunjung unnie is still persisting in activities under the name T-ara, as if the fire in her heart has not been completely extinguished.

Or rather, Tara has become an essential part of her life.

"Okay, I'll talk to Qri unnie and Hyomin about it later."

"it is good."

Park Jiyeon replied, then suddenly remembered something, thought for a moment, and said:

"Unnie, can I ask you a question?"

"What?"

"If you had a chance to change the past, what would you most want to change?" "The past?"

Ham Eun-jung repeated it on the other end of the phone, and then there was silence.

A few seconds later, her voice rang out again.

"Then I would definitely like to change what happened 12 years ago. If that hadn't happened, I don't know where T-ara would have ended up, haha."

Ham Eun-jung even chuckled jokingly at the end.

Many years later, the incident that almost ruined them all 12 years ago can now be talked about as a joke.

Only those involved know the hardships they went through behind the scenes.

Park Jiyeon smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"I guess you want to change this too, unnie."

But now it seems like Unnie really has a chance.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before ending the call.

Park Jiyeon put down her phone; the time in the upper left corner showed 23:59. The moment the screen went off, the time jumped to 00:00.

Just as Park Jiyeon was about to lie down, her beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed.
