Peninsula: It’s just a dream, are you serious?

Chapter 512 Yoona used the [Kill] skill on Krystal Jung.

Upon hearing this, Lim Yoona, who was about to turn around, paused, responded, and then smiled at Kim Eun-sook, waiting for what she would say next.

Seeing this, Krystal Jung, who was standing nearby, said, "Unnie, I'll go outside."

Before she could finish speaking, Kim Eun-sook added, "It's okay, Soo-jung-ssi. The director and I actually wanted to ask you and Yoona-ssi to help with this."

She didn't keep them in suspense any longer: "It's like this, the tentative broadcast date for our TV series is October 9th, and the OST for the TV series is still in preparation."

"I know that Yoona and Krystal are both quite close to JYP's Director Chen."

Upon hearing this, both Yoona and Krystal understood what Kim Eun-sook wanted them to do for her.

"So the director and I were thinking of asking if you could help us pass on a message to Director Chen. If he has time, we would like to ask him to write an OST for the TV series."

Director Kang Shin-hyo, who was standing next to him, also smiled and nodded.

This was indeed something he and Kim Eun-sook had discussed before they arrived.

Don't underestimate the impact of a great OST on a TV series; a great OST can attract many people who haven't watched the show.

These people who are attracted are all potential viewers, which will ultimately increase the TV series' ratings to some extent.

Moreover, Chen Yan himself has a very high level of popularity and generates a lot of buzz. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is one of the most popular people on the peninsula in the past two months.

Asking him to write the OST for the TV series will undoubtedly bring a lot of attention to the series and is also a great publicity point.

The other person had previously written an OST for "Gu Family Book," which is why the two of them thought of having him write one for this drama as well.

However, as they mentioned in a previous interview, they are unlikely to accept any external collaborations this year.

So after discussing it with Kang Shin-hyo, Kim Eun-sook decided to try asking Im Yoon-ah and Jung Soo-jung.

Both of them have worked with Chen Yan before, and they appear to have a close relationship in public. With acquaintances putting in a good word, this matter might actually come to fruition.

"Of course, we also know that Director Chen is quite busy in the second half of the year. If Director Chen is not available, that's fine too."

Across from her, Krystal Jung didn't speak, but instead looked at Yoona.

With the Empress here, how could she, a mere concubine who hasn't even entered the household yet, possibly have the right to make decisions?

Yoona blinked her doe-like eyes and smiled, "Okay, I'll pass it on to him, but I'm not sure if he'll have time later."

"Of course, Yoona-ssi just needs to ask for me."

"Ok."

After saying goodbye to Kim Eun-sook and Kang Shin-hyo, the two turned and walked out of the conference room.

After walking a short distance, Krystal turned around to look behind her and then said:

"Unnie, does Chen oppa have time later?"

"I don't know either, so I'll have to ask now."

Lim Yoona smiled, took out her phone, opened Kakao, clicked on the pinned profile picture, edited a message, and sent it.

Yoona: Are you busy for the next month?

The message was quickly read, and Chen Yan's reply subsequently appeared in the chat box.

Mr. Chen: What's the matter? Go ahead and say it.

Yoona pouted: Tell me first if you're busy for the next month.

She knew it would be like this.

As soon as she speaks, this man will always ask her what she wants without answering her questions. After she explains what she wants, he will agree to it 99.9% of the time.

The remaining 0.1% chance of rejection is that he genuinely cannot find the time to do it.

Mr. Chen: It's alright. I finished writing the title track for missA's new album a couple of days ago. Now it's just a matter of steadily advancing the preparations for their comeback. It's not too busy.

Yoona: Sunmi is coming back in early September, right? And you're going to write a song for Suzy, aren't you?

Mr. Chen: When Sunmi makes her comeback, I'm only responsible for the album. There are a few meetings to attend afterward, which won't take up much time. As for Suzy's song, there's no specific date set. Theoretically speaking, I can write it whenever I want.

Lin Yoona frowned slightly and thought about it. After listening to it this way, it did seem alright.

She tapped her fingers lightly on the keyboard: The screenwriter and director of my drama want you to write an OST for the series. It needs to be finished by the end of September. Do you have time?

Mr. Chen: Since our Yoona wife has asked, I definitely have the time. I'll take the job.

Im Yoona typed: Get lost, who's your wife?

He was cursing in the message, but his face was beaming with joy.

Beside her, Krystal Jung looked at Yoona's happy smile and secretly pursed her lips, feeling like she had been inexplicably fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

The two walked to the elevator, and Lim Yoona smiled and put down her phone.

"Oppa said yes?"

"Well, it just so happens that he's not very busy next month."

"Oh."

Reaching out to press the elevator button, Lim Yoona glanced at Jung Soo-jung beside her, and her mind started racing again as she thought about the thing she had been worried about earlier.

After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Soojung, do you have any more scheduled activities later?"

"Yes, I have two more schedules to go, the last one doesn't finish until after midnight, what's wrong, unnie?"

"Oh it's all right."

Yoona shook her head: "I just wanted to say that if you don't have any more schedules, we can ride in the same car so we can chat a bit more, since we rarely see each other."

Krystal smiled at her and said, "It's during our comeback period, unnie, so I'd like to chat with you a bit more."

That's what she said, but in her heart she was actually rejecting it.

In the past, she would have been quite happy to chat with this older sister for a while, but now...
Dah!

Being around this unnie is too stressful, and every minute I stay with her increases the risk of her being exposed.

At least until she confronted Chen Yan, she didn't really want to be around this older sister.

"Ding"

The elevator doors opened slowly as it reached the floor, and the two stepped inside.

As the numbers on the elevator display screen descended floor by floor, when the number jumped to "1", Jung Soo-jung suddenly heard Im Yoon-a's voice again.

"I suddenly remembered something."

Krystal Jung subconsciously turned to look at her, only to see Yoona also turning to look at her, her bright eyes filled with a smile.

"When I saw the elevator numbers jump to 1 just now, I suddenly remembered that the first time I met Chen Yan was on the first floor of SBS TV station."

“At that time, Chen Yan was interning at SBS TV station. We happened to run into each other on the first floor when he got off work that day. Do you know what the first thing he said to me was?”

Krystal Jung asked instinctively, "What?"

The elevator then arrived at the basement level and opened.

As Yoona stepped out of the elevator, Krystal Jung instinctively followed.

Im Yoona stopped at the elevator entrance, and Jung Soo-jung subconsciously stopped as well.

Looking at the girl in front of her, Lim Yoona blinked her doe-like eyes twice: "He said."

She seemed to pause deliberately before continuing, "I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else. I thought it was Soojung."

After saying that, Lim Yoona immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth and smiled.

Beside her, Krystal Jung paused for a moment in surprise.

Did Chen Yan mistake Yoona unnie for me?
This was the first time she had ever heard of this.

At this moment, Lim Yoona looked at her again, her eyes curving into crescents, and said in a somewhat sentimental tone:

"If you put it that way, it seems that Chen Yan and I only met because of you, Xiujing, and then the subsequent events led to the current situation."

Across from her, Krystal Jung stared blankly at Yoona's radiant smile and blinked.

The next second, a smile appeared on his lips.

"So that's how Unnie and Chen Yan met."

"correct."

Yoona narrowed her doe-like eyes and nodded: "This is the first time I've encountered this situation. Maybe that's why I was so impressed with Chen Yan when we first met."

"That certainly seems to be the case."

Krystal Jung replied, maintaining her smile.

Yoona smiled and said, "Let's go. Krystal, you still have schedules to attend to." "Okay."

As the two stepped out of the elevator, two nanny vans were parked side by side in two adjacent parking spaces not far away.

As she walked to the front of the van, Yoona paused and turned to look at Krystal Jung.

See you tomorrow, Soojung.

The production team will hold the script discussion here again tomorrow.

"Okay, goodbye, unnie."

Krystal Jung smiled and nodded.

Then the two walked to their respective vans, got in, and as soon as the doors closed, their smiles vanished simultaneously.

The next second, they both fell into deep thought.

Lim Yoon-a frowned her two arched eyebrows.

It seems that what I feared has still happened.

Xiujing definitely likes Chen Yan.

Just now, she recounted the scene of her first meeting with Chen Yan in this life to Xiujing, following the route of SBS TV station, in order to see her reaction and verify her guess.

If Krystal doesn't have any romantic feelings for Chen Yan and just sees him as a good oppa, she'll laugh happily after a brief moment of surprise and simply treat it as a funny incident.

But what if she likes Chen Yan?
So what I just said was like me, the one who successfully rose to power, sharing my romantic first encounter with Chen Yan with Xiujing, the one who had a crush on me.

For Krystal, that wasn't a funny thing that would make her laugh; it was like a knife to her heart.

As for whether it was a needle prick or a knife stabbing, that depends on how much Xiujing likes Chen Yan.

Moreover, she had just subtly changed the subject, emphasizing that the reason she and Chen Yan knew each other was because of Xiujing.

It was because of that misunderstanding that she mistook someone else for someone else that she had such a deep impression of Chen Yan, which led to the subsequent developments in their relationship.

In short, the whole story started because of you, Krystal. You were the matchmaker for me and Chen Yan.

But this was actually a deliberate attempt to guide her thinking.

Even without Soo-jung, and without that encounter and misunderstanding at the TV station, she and Chen Yan would still have gotten to know each other later.

It might be because of Kim Tae-yeon, or it might be because of the other members of Girls' Generation. Even if none of these apply, she will definitely get to know Chen Yan after she is reborn.

But if Xiujing likes Chen Yan, then she most likely won't realize this.

Guided by her own thoughts, only one idea remained in her mind: Chen Yan and Yoona unnie met because of me.

This kind of mindset guidance undoubtedly makes the needle or knife that pierces the heart go even deeper.

In this situation, it would be a miracle if Krystal could genuinely laugh.

As Yoona predicted, Krystal's reaction confirmed her thoughts.

The girl was stunned for a few seconds before she smiled.

Although her smile was genuine and she certainly had a high level of acting talent, it still seemed a bit fake in the face of her more than ten years of extra life experience.

That smile could probably fool 24-year-old Yoona or Jessica unnie.

I just don't know how deep Krystal's feelings for Chen Yan really are.

If it's still relatively shallow, then there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

If it's gotten to a certain point, then the problem is getting serious.

Staring blankly out the car window, Lim Yoona fell into deep thought once again.

In another van, Krystal Jung had a furrowed brow.

She felt as if her heart had been stabbed with a knife, with waves of sharp pain.

She couldn't explain why, even though Yoona had only said a few simple words to her, she felt inexplicably upset.

All that remained in my mind was this thought: Yoona unnie and Chen Yan only met because of me.

In other words, he unknowingly connected the two people and acted as a bridge between them.

As she thought about it, she gradually began to feel frantic.

Ahhh! ! !
It's all that bastard Chen Yan's fault!

How could someone mistake Yoona unnie for themselves? How bad are their eyesight to make such a mistake?

Yes, it's all his fault!

If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

Having found an outlet for her frustrations, Krystal puffed out her cheeks and began to vent internally.

Bastard, scumbag, dog of a man, scoundrel
If Chen Yan were next to her right now, she would definitely give this man a lesson in the Zheng family's traditional boxing style.

I'm so angry!!!

"I'm home."

As soon as Yoona returned to her dorm from the TV station, she heard Jessica Jung greeting her.

The ice princess was lounging lazily on the living room sofa, reading a fashion magazine.

Yoona responded and sat down next to her.

He picked up an orange from the fruit bowl on the coffee table with one hand, while glancing around the room.

"Are you alone in the dorm, unnie?"

"Sun-kyu is sleeping in her room, Hyo-yeon went out, and the others are still on their schedules and haven't come back yet."

"Oh."

Yoona put a segment of orange into her mouth and nodded.

Give me a bite.

Jessica Jung opened her red lips.

"Give."

Lim Yoona fed her a segment of orange, her eyes flickered, and she asked:

"By the way, unnie, you're planning to tell Soojung about you and Chen Yan in a few days, right?"

“Yes, Krystal and the others won’t be performing next week, so they’ll have a lot more free time. I plan to find a time to talk to her about it next week.”

Jessica Jung nodded while chewing, and asked in return, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just saw Soojung at the script discussion meeting and it reminded me of this, so I wanted to ask you about it."

"Oh."

Seeing Jessica Jung continue reading the magazine, Yoona, while eating the orange in her hand, had another fleeting look in her eyes.

Next week should be alright; things shouldn't get completely out of control.

Because on her way back, she thought about it again and realized that Chen Yan and Xiu Jing hadn't even taken the step of expressing their feelings.

Otherwise, she would definitely have been able to glean something from Chen Yan; a man wouldn't keep something this big from them.

Since there's nothing unusual now, it means Chen Yan doesn't know that Xiu Jing likes him yet, and currently still treats her like a younger sister.

Let's just let things take their course and let Jessica go find Krystal herself so the two of them can sit down and have a proper chat.

If she were to tell Jessica about Krystal's situation now, knowing Jessica's personality, she would definitely rush over to find Krystal immediately.

At that point, things will really spiral out of control without anyone being prepared.

Let things take their course for now. Let Jessica talk to Krystal next week, while she does some preparations this week.

I'll find some time privately to talk to Taeyeon and the others about this and discuss a solution, in case things really get out of control.

This is a major event that will absolutely affect the harmony and stability of the family; it requires everyone's collective wisdom and effort to resolve.

However, one thing is certain: this matter cannot be delayed any longer.

Otherwise, even if Chen Yan takes Jessica's presence into consideration and doesn't do anything to Krystal, it's hard to say what will happen to Krystal.

Regardless of how much Xiujing likes Chen Yan now, it's definitely the right thing to do to be honest as soon as possible.

The longer it goes on, the deeper you get trapped, and the harder it is to get out.

What we need to do now is to make a decisive move. Don't wait until there's absolutely no room for maneuver left, because that would be the worst outcome.
