Peninsula: The idol by the bedside refreshes randomly.

"Unnie".

Park Jiyeon looked at the familiar face in front of her, which still had a touch of youthfulness, and couldn't help but purse her lips tightly.

She really is Eunjung unnie from 12.

"Didn't you go back to your dorm? Why are you here?" Ham Eun-jung clearly hadn't realized something was wrong.

Chen Ran, who was standing nearby, laughed and said, "The Zhiyan who went back to the dormitory is that Zhiyan, this Zhiyan is different."

Hearing these tongue-twister-like words, Ham Eun-jung looked at Chen Ran, still a little confused.

"What do you mean?"

"It means that the Jiyeon who went back to the dorm was the Jiyeon of 2012, while the one in front of you now, Eunjung, is the Jiyeon of 2025."

"2012...2025..."

"Eun-jung, take another close look at this Ji-yeon. Is she really exactly the same as the Ji-yeon you usually see?"

Ham Eun-jung turned her head blankly and carefully observed Park Ji-yeon in front of her.

They do look exactly the same, but their auras are completely different. The Jiyeon in front of me is clearly more mature.

The most crucial element is the gaze.

She had just met Park Jiyeon, whose eyes were bright and lively, full of the vivacity and clarity of a 19-year-old girl.

The one before me, however, had eyes as deep and unfathomable as a vast ocean, devoid of any liveliness, as still and calm as an ancient well, as if he had seen through the ways of the world.

Could this really be Jiyeon from 2025?

"You...are you really Jiyeon from 2025?" Ham Eun-jung asked instinctively.

Park Jiyeon nodded gently: "Yes, unnie, I'm Jiyeon from 25 years ago."

Chen Ran, who was standing nearby, then said, "If you still don't quite believe it, Eun-jung, you can call or send a message to Ji-yeon from 12 and ask her where she is now."

Upon hearing this, Ham Eun-jung snapped out of her daze, quickly took out her phone from her bag, and dialed Park Ji-yeon's number.

Clearly, she still couldn't quite believe this worldview-shattering event.

The call connected quickly, and Park Jiyeon's energetic voice rang out in the otherwise quiet room, clearly audible to everyone.

"Hey, Eunjung unnie." Upon hearing this voice, Ham Eunjung's pupils dilated violently, and her eyes widened suddenly.

She stared blankly at Park Jiyeon in front of her.

The Park Jiyeon in front of me wasn't holding a phone, and she didn't even move.

So... this Jiyeon is really...

At that moment, Park Jiyeon's voice came through the phone again, just like it did 12 years ago.

"Unnie? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Ham Eun-jung stared intently at the person in front of her, her mouth responding instinctively:

"I'm here, Jiyeon, where are you now?"

"Qri and I just got to the dorm. What about you, unnie? Have you arrived yet? Have you met your friends?"

Ham Eun listened to Park Jiyeon's voice and looked at yet another Park Jiyeon in front of her, her heart filled with a sense of the bizarre and absurd.

"Oh...I saw him."

Jiyeon, I saw you! "Oh, okay, unnies, have fun! Remember to bring me back some food, love you~"

Upon hearing this, Dae Ji-yeon, who was standing there, couldn't help but purse her lips.

All you ever think about is eating.

(From now on, "Big Dragon Baby" will refer to Park Jiyeon in 25, and "Little Dragon Baby" will refer to Park Jiyeon in 12.)

"...Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Ham Eun-jung slowly put down her phone, still looking somewhat dazed.

What kind of fantastical event has she encountered?

At that moment, the big dragon cub across from them stepped up to Ham Eun-jung, gently took her hand, and smiled.

"Unnie, now you believe I'm Jiyeon from 25 years ago, right?"

The moment her hand was grasped, Ham Eun-jung's hand trembled slightly.

The dragon cub's hands weren't hot, but they still had a temperature.

Suddenly, a sense of reality washed over her. Ham Eun-jung's eyes flickered slightly, and she instinctively squeezed the dragon cub's hand back. "I...I believe you."

Hehe~

The big dragon cub chuckled, and suddenly his expression showed a bit of the little dragon cub's naivety, making Ham Eun-jung momentarily dazed.

The unease that had arisen subconsciously within me subsided somewhat.

This is indeed the child she raised.

Beside him, Chen Ran saw the smile on Da Longzai's face and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

After spending several days together, it was the first time he had ever seen such a vivid smile on the other person's face.

Indeed, people only show their truest selves in front of those they are close to and familiar with.

"Unnie, please sit down."

Da Longzai pulled Ham Eun-jung to sit down on the sofa.

Ham Eun-jung glanced around the somewhat peculiarly styled room, then looked at the big dragon cub and Chen Ran, who was sitting some distance away.

"What exactly is going on?" 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.

The little dragon blinked and looked at Chen Ran.

"Let Chen Ran explain it to you; he knows best."

Then Ham Eun-jung looked at Chen Ran.

Chen Ran smiled and then told Ham Eun-jung about the house.

Ham Eun-jung's expression of surprise never faded.

"Connecting houses that are 12 years old and 25 years old, once a month, each time with a different person."

"Yeah, it's my turn this month, so I'm here. I asked Chen Ran to call Unnie over," Da Longzai said with a smile.

"oh..."

Ham Eun-jung processed the information and nodded.

"Nachi... um..."

She wanted to call her Jiyeon, but then she realized that Jiyeon was born in 25, which meant she was 13 years older than her in some ways, so calling her Jiyeon directly seemed inappropriate. Daeyong noticed Ham Eunjung's dilemma and took the initiative to put his arm around hers, pressing close to her to show affection.

"Unnie, you can just call me Jiyeon, or Dragon Cub, I'll call you Unnie too."

In front of Ham Eun-jung, she will always be the younger sister.

Seeing the familiar smile on her face and the sincerity in her words, Ham Eun-jung's eyes flickered slightly, the last trace of unfamiliarity in her heart disappeared, and she finally smiled too.

"Okay, Jiyeon, Jiyeon, why did you ask Chen Ran to call me over?"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Da Longzai's face froze slightly.

What I'm about to say will disrupt this relaxed atmosphere, but it's something I absolutely have to say.

"This can't be explained in a few words. Come upstairs with me, Oni, and you'll see."

"Okay."

The little dragon turned to look at Chen Ran.

"Chen Ran, may I use your study for a moment?"

Chen Ran nodded: "No problem, you guys go ahead." "Unnie, let's go."

Da Longzai pulled Ham Eun-jung to her feet.

However, since Ham Eun-jung's bag was on her lap at the time, and she forgot to close it again when she took out her phone to call the little dragon boy.

As soon as he stood up, the contents of his bag spilled out.

The first things to be dealt with were the pepper spray and stun gun that had been placed on top.

"Why..."

Ham Eun-jung instinctively called out and reached out to help.

But it was clearly too late.

She watched helplessly as the bottle of pepper spray slowly rolled to Chen Ran's left foot.

The small stun gun seemed to have accidentally touched a switch halfway through, with crackling arcs of electricity flashing across its head, the sound particularly crisp in the quiet atmosphere.

All three of them stared at the constantly flashing arcs of electricity, and the atmosphere in the living room instantly became a little eerie.

"Ugh..." Ham Eun-jung was the first to come to her senses and swore, which was rare for her.

She rushed over, grabbed the stun gun, and frantically pressed the switch.

As the electric arc disappeared, she subconsciously prepared to breathe a sigh of relief, but halfway through, she caught a glimpse of the chili water at Chen Ran's feet, and the breath she hadn't fully released instantly came back up.

There's a second level!

Ham Eun-jung's fair toes, clad in slippers, couldn't help but curl slightly. She pursed her lips awkwardly, not daring to look up at Chen Ran.

Just as she was wondering what to do, the little dragon next to her suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, unnie, you didn't prepare all this on purpose tonight, did you, to prevent Chen Ran from doing anything bad to you?"

Having her little secret exposed, Ham Eun-jung, already embarrassed, blushed instantly.

Even if you know, don't tell anyone!

How embarrassing!

How come you're still such a troublemaker even at your age!

She dared not look up at Chen Ran now. Hearing this, Chen Ran raised an eyebrow, then bent down to pick up the bottle of pepper spray from beside him, handed it back to Ham Eun-jung, and smiled:

"It's okay, I understand. I would have made preparations too if I were in your shoes."

If a man you're not very close to suddenly invites you to his house late at night to talk about something, especially in the entertainment industry, any normal woman would overthink it.

If it weren't for the special circumstances, Chen Ran wouldn't have let Ham Eun-jung come to his house directly.

"...Thanks."

Ham Eun-jung blushed as she took the pepper spray and stuffed it back into her bag along with that embarrassing stun gun.

Meanwhile, the little dragon was laughing nonstop on the side.

Ham Eun-jung was immediately enraged and instinctively raised her hand to slap him.

Stop laughing!

"...oh"

The little dragon covered his arm where he had been slapped and immediately became obedient.

"You two go ahead and chat, I'll watch TV downstairs for a bit." "Okay."

Da Longzai led Ham Eun-jung upstairs, while Chen Ran sat down to watch TV.

Upon arriving on the second floor, Ham Eun-jung curiously looked around at the rooms, which were still divided into two areas by dividing lines.

"Ji-yeon, is that the master bedroom?"

"Yes, half of it belongs to Chen Ran, and the other half is mine."

"what?"

Ham Eun-jung suddenly remembered something: "So, what were you and Chen Ran doing tonight...?"

The little dragon immediately understood what she meant and shook its head.

"No, I'm currently staying in the master bedroom, and Chen Ran is sleeping in the guest room on his side."

"Oh, I see."

He then gave Ham Eun-jung a brief tour of the second floor, and finally led her to the study.

There were two computers on the desk, one belonging to Chen Ran and the other to Da Longzai. "Unnie, please sit down."

Da Longzai made Ham Eun-jung sit down in the chair.

Ham Eun-jung looked at the futuristic laptop she had never seen before and confirmed once again that everything she had experienced that night was real.

"Is this an Apple computer from 2025?"

Da Longzai nodded: "Yes, the latest model computer."

"Unnie, wait a minute."

She leaned slightly forward to enter the login password and found a folder on the desktop.

Just as I was about to click, my finger suddenly paused.

Turning to look at Ham Eun-jung, Dae-ryong pursed his lips.

"Unnie, I asked you to come over tonight. Everything I wanted to tell you is in there."

"Okay."

Ham Eun-jung nodded, noticing the unusual somber expression on the dragon cub's face, and blinked. Judging from that expression, could it be something bad?

Double-click the folder icon to open it.

"Unnie, see for yourself."

"it is good."

Ham Eun-jung's gaze fell on the computer screen.

Upon seeing the first line of text, her eyes widened slightly.

[The complete story of the Tara 80s incident]

The 80s?!

Ham Eun-jung turned to look at the big dragon cub.

Faced with her questioning gaze, the little dragon simply said softly, "Unnie, you finish reading first."

"it is good."

Ham Eun-jung could only suppress her doubts and turn back to continue reading the document. On July 23, 2012, T-ara was recording the Ulsan special of "Music Core" when member Hwayoung twisted her ankle as she stepped off the stage.

The agent accompanied her to the hospital for an X-ray examination, which showed that it was only a mild sprain and did not require a cast.

On July 24, T-ara flew to Japan to prepare for their Budokan concert. Member Hwayoung refused to complete the rehearsal because she had previously sprained her ankle. Instead, she asked to go to a nail salon to get her nails done, which caused a conflict with the staff and members on site.

On July 25, Liu Huaying performed only one song in a wheelchair at the concert before leaving the stage.

After the concert, Park Hyomin posted on social media: "The difference in willpower."

Several T-ara members reposted the message, which netizens interpreted as the members collectively and publicly mocking and accusing Hwayoung of using her injury to avoid the stage, and the public opinion began to ferment.

On July 29, hundreds of thousands of netizens signed a petition demanding the disbandment of T-ara and to clarify the truth about the 1980s generation. A large number of early variety shows were maliciously edited and spread as evidence of the "1980s generation".

On July 30, CCM CEO Kim Kwang-soo suddenly announced that he was terminating his contract with Ryu Hwayoung unconditionally.

This move was interpreted by the public as the company admitting that its members engaged in 80s-style behavior and forcing the victims to leave.

Liu Huaying then posted on social media: "There are no facts to tell, only the image of a victim."

Her older sister, Liu Xiaoying, followed suit, speaking out on behalf of her younger sister.

At this point, public opinion spiraled out of control, and T-ara was instantly boycotted by the entire nation.

In front of the computer, Ham Eun-jung clenched her fists without realizing it, a chill rising from the bottom of her heart and spreading throughout her body, causing her to tremble slightly.

She didn't have time to think and continued reading.

In August, member Ham Eun-jung was forced to withdraw from the drama "Five Fingers," which had already filmed ten episodes, due to the 8s controversy.

Park Ji-yeon has had all her previously confirmed film and television offers cancelled, and all members' film, television, and GG resources have been frozen.

T-ara's more than a dozen male endorsements were terminated, and all of their variety show appearances were also canceled.

Tara thus incurred default penalties and could only repay the debt by frequently participating in various commercial performances.

During an offline event, he was booed and attacked with water bottles by the audience, and was yelled at to get off the stage.

Tara's largest fan forum on the peninsula has been shut down, and a large number of fans have turned against the group.

Members also suffered from varying degrees of mental illness due to public opinion, and after the event, they could only hide in their dormitories and dared not go out alone for a long time.

Because of the 1980s controversy, Tara completely lost the Korean Peninsula market and was forced to turn to overseas development.

In 2017, members Jeon Boram and Park Soyeon's contracts expired and were not renewed, allowing T-ara to continue activities as a four-member group. Also in 2017, the truth about the 1980s generation was revealed, and public opinion reversed once again.

Besides the text, the document also contained some pictures, all of which were media reports about the Tara 80s incident.

Including when they participated in the year-end music festival in 2012, they were deliberately targeted by the organizers and were not given seats, so they had to stand for the entire event.

All of these things laid bare a bloody picture of a public opinion event that had spanned several years before Ham Eun-jung.

Ham Eun-jung's body began to tremble violently at some point, and her cheeks were covered with tears.

How could this happen?

Why is this happening?

Why do this?

T-ara's future is actually like this...

Before they had even reached the pinnacle, they had already fallen into hell.
