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

Chapter 535 What you can’t get is always turbulent

Chen Yan was naturally unaware of what had happened at JK's house.

He was half-lying on the bed, replying to Krystal Jung's message. Looking at their chat interface, his eyes flickered.

After thinking for a moment, he quit Kakao and opened Naver instead.

On the trending list, the terms "[IU and Chen Yan sing duet on the same stage]" and "[Chen Yan and Krystal Jung appear at IU's concert]" still occupy the top two positions.

Clicking on the entry about him and Krystal Jung, the first post is a video recorded by netizens showing the two appearing on the big screen at a concert.

As Chen Yan watched the video, his gaze remained fixed on Krystal Jung's smiling face. As he watched, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips as well.

After watching the video, he scrolled down to the comments section.

[Ahhhhh! I'm so happy for both fans! PD Chen actually went to IU's concert with Krystal! What a pity, if I had known, I would have gone no matter what [crying]!]

[That startled me! I thought these two were secretly dating and got caught at the concert.]

[I initially thought so too, but IU brought it up herself, so they're definitely not a couple. Besides, PD Chen went last night, and they didn't go together.]

But you know what, these two actually look quite well-matched; the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful—they're a feast for the eyes.

[The more I watch this video, the more I like it! I even think these two look like a married couple! I can't take it anymore! From today onwards, I'm a Yan Jing shipper!]

Yan Jing Party?

Chen Yan couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Another random CP fan has emerged, and it's him and Krystal Jung, no less.

Do you even know what my relationship with Krystal Jung is? You're just making things up.

They even said that Krystal Jung and I look like a married couple, but there's absolutely no factual basis for that.

If you told me that I look like a married couple with Jessica Jung's older sister, I could believe it.

But Krystal Jung.

He's never even kissed Krystal Jung on the lips.

It can't be because Krystal and Yoona look alike, can it?

Hmm, from this perspective, it does make some sense.

After all, he and Im Yoon-ah do look quite like a married couple.

After a moment of inexplicable thoughts, Chen Yan glanced at the video again, then exited Naver and put down his phone.

His eyes were fixed on the ceiling, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

He does like Krystal Jung.

Although this feeling can be suppressed with reason now, it's hard to say whether it will be able to be suppressed in the future.

Emotions are something that, the more you suppress them, the stronger the rebound will be.

Unless he stays away from Krystal Jung and doesn't see her for several years, this affection can gradually fade away.

But that's obviously impossible, since Jessica Jung is the link between the two, so how could they not see each other for so long?

He can't just break up with Jessica Jung just to prevent his feelings for Krystal from getting out of control, can he?

That's just plain crazy.

They were having a great relationship, and then suddenly they broke up. Isn't that just deliberately making the story more dramatic and turning it into a tragic love story?

That's really crazy; he couldn't do that.

Forget about him, even Kim Tae-yeon, that older sister, doesn't play that game anymore.

Jessica Jung: Keep insulting me!
As Chen Yan tapped lightly on his phone case, the image of him chatting with Jung Soo-jung in the car earlier involuntarily resurfaced in his mind.

The girl's slightly quirky appearance made him smile again.

A moment later, the smile faded again, dispelling the girl's smiling face from his mind.

He stared blankly at the ceiling.

Want to try it?

The thought suddenly popped into his head, but Chen Yan dispelled it in less than a second, even shaking his head on the pillow.

No, why try it? This is something you can try.

They're fundamentally different.

Would Jessica Jung agree? Would Krystal Jung agree?
The two are mutually constraining, and neither side can afford to be even slightly unwilling.

Even if Park In-jae were in this situation, he would absolutely not dare to try it.

After pondering for a long time, still unable to come up with a solution, Chen Yan sighed softly.

Ah, it's true what they say, what you can't have always seems more alluring.

Humans are just like that, so shameful.

Well, we can only take it one step at a time.

Don't think about it anymore, go to sleep!

pat.

The bedroom instantly darkened, becoming so quiet that only Chen Yan's breathing could be faintly heard.

But soon, the sound of tossing and turning began to rise again from time to time.

"Ha~"

The next morning, Chen Yan couldn't help but yawn as soon as he sat down in his office.

He touched his nose, leaned back slightly in his chair, and closed his eyes.

He had insomnia again last night. Although he didn't stay up all night like last time, he still didn't fall asleep until around 3 a.m.

Tsk, you've really put me through this, Krystal Jung.

Reaching out to press his temples, Chen Yan couldn't help but miss the feeling of Bae Soo-ji massaging his temples last time.

The cool, soft little hands pressing on my temples felt much more comfortable than when he massaged them himself.

He had insomnia because of a girl, and now he misses the feeling of another girl massaging his temples.

Yes, that fits the character.

And speaking of Bae Suzy, the girl was furious last night after seeing the trending topic of her performing at Lee Ji-eun's concert.

Chen Yan almost thought the rabbit would rush straight into his house and bite the carrot again.

Unfortunately, he didn't come back, because he calmed him down after a while.

Tsk, I should have known better than to coax her.

After a few moments of somewhat nonsensical thoughts, Chen Yan massaged his temples to relieve his fatigue, then sat up straight and turned on his computer.

I first checked the Melon music charts on their website, and there are currently five of his songs on the charts. Lee Sunmi's "Gashina" has been released for exactly one week today, ranking fifth on the real-time chart, third on the daily chart, and sixth on the weekly chart.

This is a really good result for an idol as popular as Lee Sunmi.

That cool and stylish pistol dance has been covered by various dance bloggers on the Peninsula in the past few days, and it has gained some popularity on YouTube.

Moreover, JYP's PR department did indeed follow Chen Yan's suggestion and put a lot of effort into promoting Lee Sunmi, focusing on her legs. This has already had some effect, and the title of "Leg Goddess" has started to be used by some casual observers.

This song has greatly boosted Lee Sunmi's popularity, and she has been receiving numerous invitations to perform these past few days. She is now showing signs of becoming a second-tier artist.

Lee Sunmi has been sending many messages to thank Chen Yan these past few days, saying that she will definitely treat Chen Yan to a meal when she has time in a while.

Besides "Gashina", Chen Yan's other four songs are still on the charts.

"Roar" ranked eighth on the real-time chart, sixth on the daily chart, and fifth on the weekly chart.

"First Wisdom Tooth" ranked 25th on the real-time chart, 19th on the daily chart, and 15th on the weekly chart.

"nonono" is ranked 28th on the real-time chart, 23rd on the daily chart, and 18th on the weekly chart.

"Something" is ranked 37th on the real-time chart, 33rd on the daily chart, and 29th on the weekly chart.

The five songs remain firmly ranked on various charts. In addition to the group continuing to be active and maintain exposure, Chen Yan's own popularity and level of discussion are also important influencing factors.

Whenever he does something that trends on social media and sparks discussion among netizens, the resulting online buzz inevitably benefits his work.

After closing the Melon website, Chen Yan glanced at the time in the lower right corner of his computer screen. Seeing that it was almost time, he got up and left the office.

He was going to attend a company meeting about incubating a new girl group.

He told Park Jin-young last time that he wanted to join the company's new girl group incubation program to learn how to incubate a girl group, so he will attend all meetings and matters related to the new girl group in the future.

This is why he didn't choose to catch up on sleep at home in the morning.

Of course, he won't be in charge of this new girl group.

Park Jin-young wouldn't do something so absurd as to put someone with absolutely no experience in developing girl groups in charge of the company's new girl group. Chen Yan is currently learning.

Upon arriving at a large conference room on the fifth floor, Chen Yan entered the room.

There were already quite a few people in the conference room, and when they saw Chen Yan enter, they all quickly stood up and bowed.

Chen Yan smiled and returned the greeting, then sat down in the first seat on the left.

Within minutes, the other attendees, including Park Jin-young, arrived one after another, and the meeting officially began with Park Jin-young speaking.

JYP plans to launch a new girl group in the first half of next year. The group's name has already been decided: 6mix, which Chen Yan learned from Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah.

Among the tentative debut members are several familiar faces, including Lim Nayeon and Yoo Jeongyeon, as well as Park Jihyo, who will later become the leader of Twice.

Besides these people, there is also a Chinese girl named Song Yanfei among the debut members.

However, Chen Yan had no intention of finding out more details, because he knew that this new girl group plan would eventually fail.

The meeting ended after more than an hour, and Park Jin-young called Chen Yan into his office for a chat.

The conversation included Chen Yan's performance at Lee Ji-eun's concert last night.

This matter has generated a lot of buzz and discussion, and it's still in the top three of Naver's trending topics list.

The combination of the super popular "national little sister" IU and the top popular producer Chen Yan is bound to generate a lot of buzz.

The key point is that Chen Yan also gave the public a small surprise.

To everyone's surprise, this currently very popular producer actually went on stage to sing, and surprisingly, he sang quite well.

Chen Yan's appearance in a leather jacket, carrying a guitar and singing, captivated a large number of passersby and turned them into fans.

However, Park Jin-young knew that Chen Yan had no intention of becoming an artist, so he didn't ask any further questions. He simply suggested that if Chen Yan was interested, he could consider releasing a single with Bae Suzy.

The combination of the nation's first love and a top-rated producer—you can imagine how high the buzz would be.

After leaving Park Jin-young's office, I returned to my own office and sat down in front of my computer.

His gaze swept over the Word file titled "Ambiguous" on the computer desktop, and he thought of Park Jin-young's words just now, as well as Bae Suzy's resentful appearance last night.

The image of the girl pouting and wrinkling her nose finally came to mind, and Chen Yan couldn't help but smile.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table a few times, and made up his mind.

After finishing the OST for "The Heirs," I'll start writing this single for Bae Suzy.

He had already written the lyrics for the OST of "The Heirs," and the music was completed before he went to Busan.

All that's needed is to tweak a few details, have someone record a demo, and then it can be handed over to the production team.

Although he had promised Park In-jae's brother, Park Jae-hyun, that he would write the OST for the drama "My Love from the Star".

However, the deadline for submitting the work is the end of November, which should be enough time.

Moreover, the drama "My Love from the Star" encountered some problems a few days ago.

Actress Jun Ji-hyun was also suddenly exposed to a lot of negative information, some of which was solid evidence, leading to a lot of online discussion.

Park In-jae also talked to him about this, saying that the production team had decided to replace Jun Ji-hyun.

However, this would definitely render all the crew's previous preparations futile, and it's uncertain whether the TV series can be filmed smoothly as originally planned.

Because of this incident, his brother Park Jae-hyun has been quite angry these past few days.

Tsk tsk, first the male lead Kim Soo-hyun, and now the female lead Jun Ji-hyun, the male and female leads of one drama have both had their careers ruined.

Chen Yan couldn't help but lament the tumultuous fate of the drama "My Love from the Star".

However, this drama will probably still be filmed, since the production team has been assembled, the actors have been confirmed and officially announced, and the TV station has already invested in it.

Ultimately, the only difference is that the filming and broadcast dates will be delayed.

After sorting out his thoughts, Chen Yan stopped thinking about these irrelevant things and focused on the final details of revising the OST for "The Heirs".

Meanwhile, at Jessica Jung's home.

The sound of a password being entered came from the front door. Upon hearing the sound, Jessica Jung got up and walked to the entrance.

Two petite figures were leaning against the wall changing their shoes.

"coming."

"Hmm~"

After responding, Kim Tae-yeon and Lee Soon-kyu took off their masks as they walked into the house.

The three of them sat down on the sofa in the living room.

Kim Tae-yeon looked at Jessica Jung next to her: "So what exactly did Krystal say last night, Jessica?"

"Soojung said she didn't want to give up and hoped I would agree."

Jessica pursed her lips: "What do you think I should do, Taeyeon?"
