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

Chapter 522 Jessica unnie, you don't want Krystal to have any psychological problems, do you?
Do you really think I'm pretty?

Listening to the girl's words and looking into her eyes, which held a strange, slightly serious look, Chen Yan was taken aback.

Although he was a little confused, he immediately nodded and replied, "Of course, Soojung, you are indeed very beautiful."

Krystal's eyes flickered, and she didn't say anything more.

Chen Yan also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Krystal Jung was willing to talk to him normally, and there was no anger in her expression, which at least shows that the girl wasn't too angry about what happened between him and Jessica Jung.

Seeing this, Lim Yoona smiled secretly.

Chen Yan is indeed an outlet for Xiu Jing's emotions.

At this moment, Krystal Jung glanced at Chen Yan again and spoke once more:
"The outfit you're wearing, Jessica bought it for you, right?"

The smile that had just appeared on Chen Yan's face froze, and he looked down at the clothes he was wearing.

A brown plaid short jacket is worn over a blue striped shirt, paired with light blue loose-fitting jeans.

This outfit was indeed bought for him by Jessica Jung's older sister; even how to coordinate the outfit was taught to him by Jessica Jung.

It should be said that since he got together with Jessica Jung, he has never had to worry about his outfits. He just needs to listen to her and wear whatever she says.

Chen Yan's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no! I didn't notice that. I should have gone home and changed my clothes before coming over.

It seems I accidentally went too far with this little iceberg.

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, how could Krystal not know the answer? Her expression suddenly turned cold, and her tone carried an inexplicable emotion.

"Yes or no, is it that hard to answer? It's not like I don't know about the two of you."

"Oh yes."

Hearing this tone, which carried a hint of lecturing, Chen Yan quickly nodded subconsciously and admitted it.

But after nodding, he realized what he meant and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Wait a minute, why is this little iceberg suddenly lecturing me?

It is or it isn't.

Is this something a proud and arrogant person like you should say?

Beside her, Krystal Jung's slightly cold expression disappeared. She glanced at the man in front of her and didn't say anything more.

Her eyes then caught sight of Yoona's interested expression on the other side, and her heart skipped a beat.

Ugh! Seeing Chen Yan stammering just now made me really annoyed. I couldn't control myself and forgot that Yoona unnie was right next to me.

She probably doesn't think she's provoking the empress.

The girl quickly turned her head, picked up the script next to her, and pretended to read it.

But in reality, Yoona simply found their interaction interesting.

She glanced at her husband beside her.

As expected, Chen Yan can easily stir up Xiu Jing's emotions.

After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Chen Yan, do you have anything else to do this afternoon?"

Chen Yan shook his head: "Nothing's wrong, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to say that since you're free this afternoon, you could stay on set a little longer and chat with me and Soojung."

Jung Soo-jung, who was looking down at the script next to her, was instantly stunned.

Why should Chen Yan stay a little longer?! What does Yoona unnie mean by this?

Although she was indeed happy to see Chen Yan, it didn't mean she wasn't upset.

Although two days have passed since she confronted Jessica and made a decision, she hasn't fully accepted the fact that the two of them are together yet.

With Chen Yan standing next to her, it's easy for him to affect her mood.

Chen Yan didn't mind: "Okay, then I'll stay here a little longer. It'll be good to watch you guys film. I've never seen you film before."

Lin Yoona smiled and nodded, glancing at the girl next to her who seemed to have no reaction throughout, her smile deepening.

At that moment, a staff member jogged over.

"Yoona-ssi, your next scene is with Minho-ssi. The director wants you to prepare."

"okay, I get it."

After the staff left, Lim Yoona stood up and looked at Chen Yan, saying, "I'm going to film now. You and Soojung can chat for a bit."

"it is good."

Chen Yan nodded, but didn't notice that Jung Soo-jung's hand holding the script suddenly tightened a few times.

With Xiao Lu gone, only Chen Yan and Zheng Xiujing remained in the area for a time.

Turning his gaze away from Yoona, who was filming not far away, Chen Yan looked at Krystal Jung next to him.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Soojung, how has filming been these past few days?"

I wanted to find a topic to chat with Krystal Jung, but the girl replied without even looking up:

"You should pay more attention to Yoona unnie."

"Forehead"

Sensing the anger in the girl's voice, Chen Yan grinned, then decisively shut his mouth, deciding not to provoke her any further.

Let's hold off for now.

The scene immediately fell silent again.

Beside her, Krystal Jung, who was looking down at the script, bit her lip.

She lost control of her emotions again, and regretted it as soon as she said it.

She made the same old mistake again. Although she secretly hoped that Chen Yan could chat with her, her emotions led her to say the opposite.

But at that moment, she didn't know what to say.

So the two of them looked up at Yoona filming, while the other looked down at the script, and remained silent for a long time.

A moment later, Chen Yan, whose eyes were fixed on Lin Yoona, suddenly spoke:
"Xiu-jung."

Just as she was secretly wondering whether to start a conversation, Jung Soo-jung perked up and quickly suppressed her fluctuating emotions, replying calmly, "What?"

This way there won't be any problems, and things won't be as awkward as they were before, where the conversation was completely shut down.

"It's been so long, why haven't you turned the page yet?"

The girl froze for a moment, looked down at the script in her hand that she hadn't turned a single page of since she picked it up, her cheeks quickly turning red, and she hurriedly flipped through the pages in a flustered manner.

"puff"

A distinct, suppressed laugh came from beside her, and Krystal Jung immediately turned her head.

Seeing Chen Yan's struggling to suppress a laugh, the blush on her face gradually spread to her neck, but her beautiful eyes stared coldly at him.

Chen Yan quickly stopped laughing, indicating that he was no longer smiling.

If someone actually laughed out loud, the little iceberg would turn into an active volcano.

snort!
With a snort, Krystal glanced at him sideways, then decided to stop looking at the script and look up at the filming location not far away.

Seeing this, Chen Yan smiled and spoke again, "Soojung."

"What now?"

The girl replied without turning her head, her voice clearly showing annoyance.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide my relationship with Sikanuna from you. Don't be too angry with Sikanuna. She was just too afraid to tell you directly because she cares about you so much."

Krystal Jung's anger faltered; she opened her mouth, but remained silent for a long time.

Chen Yan didn't say anything more beside him.

After a while, Krystal Jung's voice broke the silence.

"Chen Yan."

"Ok?"

The girl turned to look at him, her expression more serious than ever before.

"Was it because you were suddenly so gentle with me before that you wanted to get closer to me so that I could accept your relationship with Jessica?"

Seeing her serious expression, Chen Yan paused for a moment, not answering immediately. After thinking for a while, he looked into the girl's eyes and said with a smile:

"That's part of the reason, but that's not the whole story. I just felt that it would be better to be gentler with you, so that's why I did it."

"Because I later realized, Krystal, you're a girl, but our previous interactions seemed more like those of close friends. Realizing this, I consciously changed the way I interacted with you." After a few seconds of quiet eye contact with Chen Yan, Krystal looked away and turned back to Yoona, replying:
"You're quite good at self-reflection."

Her voice carried a hint of lightness, and a genuine smile gradually appeared on her lips.

She knew that Chen Yan's sudden gentleness towards her wasn't entirely because of Jessica.

Although she was young, she could still sense to some extent whether someone was sincere to her.

Moreover, she particularly liked Chen Yan's comment earlier, "Xiujing, you're a girl," which meant that Chen Yan already considered her a girl.

Seeing the faint smile on the girl's lips, Chen Yan's mood couldn't help but improve.

But the next second, a scene suddenly flashed through his mind.

His smile faded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Soojung."

"Ok?"

"If I say or do anything that hurts you in the future, just tell me directly and I will apologize. Don't hide away and cry by yourself."

After a pause, Chen Yan smiled gently and said, "After all, I promised you before that I wouldn't make you cry."

However, after hearing these words, Krystal Jung's smile vanished, and her previously suppressed emotions began to surge within her.

Those tearful memories quickly surfaced in my mind, playing out repeatedly.

The girl turned her head, her eyes fixed on the man. After a few seconds, she parted her lips slightly, and a sentence slipped out under the influence of her emotions.

If I cry, will you feel sorry for me?

Chen Yan paused, recalling the heartache that surged in his heart when he saw the girl crying in his dream. He looked into the girl's eyes and slowly nodded.

"Yes, I will."

Krystal Jung paused for a moment, then came to her senses. The emotions that were already somewhat out of control in her heart completely overwhelmed her at this moment, and quickly burst out of her heart and surged up.

The girl's nose suddenly stung from the shock, and she quickly turned her head, replying somewhat hastily:
"Tch, stop being so vain. I won't cry because of you."

Chen Yan, let me be arrogant one last time.

After saying that, she suddenly stood up and said even faster than before, "I'm going to the restroom."

As he turned around, his eyes flickered in the sunlight.

"okay."

Chen Yan responded, his eyes somewhat dazed as he watched her retreating figure.

Walking so fast, looks like you've been holding it in for a while.

"Cut, that scene is over."

Just then, director Kang Shin-hyo's voice suddenly rang out from the nearby filming location, yelling "Cut!"

Chen Yan turned his gaze to the filming location and saw that Lin Yoona had already turned around and walked towards him.

As she approached, she asked, "Where's Soojung?"

"Oh, she went to the bathroom."

Yoona nodded, sat down next to Chen Yan, and smiled: "What were you talking about with Krystal just now?"

"It's nothing much, I just apologized to Sikanuna about what happened between me and her, and that's all."

Chen Yan pursed his lips before continuing, "Yoona, I had a dream the night before last. I dreamt that I was having dinner with Soojung at a Western restaurant, and then she suddenly looked at me and cried."

Lim Yoona paused for a moment, then quickly realized that her man was referring to a dream about predicting the future.

If it were just an ordinary dream, he wouldn't bring it up specifically; instead, he has this expression that clearly shows he takes it to heart.

The night before last, Krystal really cried a lot.

"and then?"

"And then it ended. As soon as Krystal cried, the dream ended. I still don't understand why."

Yoona's eyes flickered: "Then you must have said or done something that made Krystal sad."

"I know that, but I wouldn't say or do such a thing."

Yoona secretly pursed her lips, thinking to herself, "That's hard to say. Something you say or do could be a critical hit to Krystal."

Chen Yan continued, "So I just told Xiujing that if I say or do anything in the future that hurts her, she should tell me immediately so I can apologize to her. It's like giving her a heads-up."

Upon hearing this, Lim Yoona couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Well, I had just thought it in my mind, and you've already done it.

If you say something like that to Krystal, she'll definitely cry again.

But this is good too, it allows me to vent my pent-up emotions.

Moreover, it was Chen Yan, the one who started the trouble, who stirred up the emotions. This venting will definitely have a good effect.

Lin Yoona glanced in the direction of the restroom, her doe eyes darting around before turning to Chen Yan.

"Then you should be more careful when you're with Soojung in the future. Things like that in your dream can actually be avoided."

Chen Yan nodded: "Yes, I know, I will be more careful in the future."

Lim Yoona smiled and glanced again in the direction of the restroom.

I hope Krystal didn't cry too much in the bathroom.

"Don't cry, don't cry, otherwise your eyes will be swollen and Chen Yan will notice when we get back."

In a stall in the women's restroom, Krystal Jung held her phone in her left hand, turning the front camera directly at herself, while wiping away tears with a tissue in her right hand, trying hard to control her emotions and constantly telling herself not to cry.

Ugh! This is so annoying!

You bastard! Of all times, you have to say something like that to me, are you trying to make me cry?!
Frustrated and cursing someone internally, the girl pouted and carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. A few seconds later, she suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

That guy actually nodded!

I asked him if he would feel sorry for me if I cried, and he actually nodded and said seriously that he would.

Krystal Jung now feels that her heart, which had been hurting for two days, is suddenly not so bad anymore.

Wiping away the last tear from the corner of her eye, she sniffed, composed herself, checked her face on her phone to make sure everything was alright, and then opened the door to the cubicle and walked out.

I walked to the sink outside, turned on the tap to wash my hands, and then looked up at myself in the mirror.

After gazing silently at herself in the mirror for a few seconds, the girl smiled again.

Chen Yan, my denial just now was truly the last time I would be so arrogant.

Because I really can't tell you right now that I've cried for you several times.

Once I've resolved Jessica's issue and am able to be by your side, I'll definitely tell you everything.

Hmph! You think you'll feel sorry for me? Well, I'll make you feel sorry for me to death!

My tears must not have been shed in vain!

After wrinkling her nose and adjusting her expression, Krystal Jung walked outside.

Back next to Chen Yan and Lin Yoona, Chen Yan didn't notice anything unusual, while Lin Yoona's eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything more.

The three of them sat and chatted, and in the middle of the scene, Krystal Jung went to film a scene.

Chen Yan stayed on set until after 4 p.m. before getting up to leave.

Behind him, Yoona and Krystal watched his retreating figure.

At that moment, Krystal Jung suddenly spoke up: "Unnie, I like Chen Yan."

Although this unnie knew that she liked Chen Yan, she still said it again, her voice soft but firm.

Lin Yoona paused slightly, then turned her gaze from the man's back to the girl beside her.

The girl met her gaze, her eyes calm yet resolute.

A few seconds later, Lim Yoona smiled and nodded: "I know."

Krystal Jung also smiled.

The two sat down again in the chairs.

After glancing at the girl who still had a slight smile on her face, Lim Yoona thought for a moment and picked up her phone.

So the main problem right now is with Jessica Unnie.

Open Kakao, find Jessica Jung's profile picture, click on it, and Yoona quickly edited a message and sent it.

She glanced at the message she had sent and smiled with satisfaction.

Jessica unnie, you don't want Krystal to have any psychological problems, do you?
