Peninsula: My mentor Kim Tae-yeon

Chapter 115: Dual Personality?

Liz blushed and lowered her head to eat her "fodder".

Su Xia acted as if nothing had happened, as if those words hadn't come from him at all, and continued eating breakfast while sending messages to Park Hee-min.

He thought the timed entertainment party Liz mentioned was a good idea, so he sent it to Park Hee-min and asked her to pass it on to the CJMCN production team, hoping it might give them some inspiration.

They remained silent, each going about their own business.

"Oppa, I'm done eating." Liz took a deep breath, her expression returning to normal, and said to Su Xia across from her.

"Okay." Su Xia looked up and smiled as she spoke, "Then you go up first, I'll leave later."

"Okay." Liz nodded, got up, grabbed her phone, and walked away quickly.

That figure seemed to be fleeing for its life.

"Old Deng, do you think I'm that scary?" Su Xia asked casually.

There was only silence in response.

Su Xia didn't mind, smiled, and continued to eat her breakfast slowly.

"Huh? Attorney Su."

A surprised voice came from behind her. Su Xia turned around and saw Jin Caiyuan and Hong Encai.

"You guys got up so early?" Su Xia asked with a smile.

"We all got up pretty early. Kura unnie and the others are at the gym, getting ready to work out before having breakfast. Today's a day of indulgence for us," Hong Eunchae said with a grin. "Mind sharing a table?"

Su Xia chuckled.

"sure."

"Thank you, Attorney Su!"

With permission, Kim Chae-won and Hong Eun-chae walked around the table and sat down next to Su Xia. The two of them looked at the spot where Liz had just been sitting.

The unwashed plates still contained what appeared to be vegetable salad.

Vegetable salad with milk and a boiled egg – isn’t this the standard breakfast for celebrities?

"The chestnuts were here just now; they ate them and left two minutes ago," Su Xia explained.

Kim Chae-won nodded in realization, but before she could speak, Hong Eun-chae spoke up.

"Attorney Su, are you and Liz unnie dating?" Hong Encai stared at Su Xia with curious eyes, her face full of undisguised gossip.

"Eun-chae!" Kim Chae-won was taken aback by her direct question and quickly stopped Hong Eun-chae.

"Guess?" Su Xia chuckled, not giving a definite answer, but instead offering a suggestive response.

I guess—

So, whether or not they're dating depends entirely on who's asking?

Kim Chae-won's eyes flickered slightly. No wonder he felt that Su Xia and Liz were acting strangely back at the Yongsan sauna. At the time, he just thought that Su Xia had a good relationship with everyone in IVE, so that's why she acted that way.

Now it seems—

The cause-and-effect relationship is reversed.

She was connected with Liz first, and only then did she become close to Ivey.

Hong Encai didn't have the same way of thinking as those from Caiyuan Street, and she actually started to guess.

"I bet you two are dating!"

You actually guessed?

Su Xia smiled helplessly, but she also knew that among these maknaes, only Jang Gyujin and Shin Yoo-na had any brains; the other two—

Both Li Rui and Hong Encai in front of them are straightforward girls.

"Don't rush to guess, order your breakfast."

"oh."

the other side.

After eating and drinking her fill, Liz returned to her room and tiptoed to open the door. She expected the room to still be pitch black as when she left, but to her surprise, the sun was shining brightly and the whole room was bright and airy.

"Autumn Unnie, you're awake?" Liz walked in and said to Kim Autumn, who was leaning against the bedside table playing on her phone.

"Hmm, you weren't sleepy for long after you left." Jin Qiutian looked up at Liz with a mischievous smile on her face. "I thought you weren't coming back."

"Where would I go if I didn't come back?" Liz asked, looking blankly at Jin Qiutian.

"Let's go to Attorney Su's room."

Liz was taken aback, then looked at Jin Qiutian speechlessly.

"Unnie! You're already joking like this in the morning?"

"That's a reasonable guess," Jin Qiutian smiled slightly. "Young people have a lot of energy, working from morning till night, which I think is quite reasonable."

Liz: "...

"I didn't expect you to be such a gossip."

"I rarely gossip about other people," Jin Qiutian shook her head, "but we can still gossip about our Liz."

Liz sighed and lay down on her bed.

"Is there anything special about having breakfast with Attorney Su?" Jin Qiutian asked curiously, putting down her phone.

"It was just a meal together. If I had to say something—he was watching videos the whole time, probably old vlogs. There was no one else in the videos except him. I don't know what he was recording. He was just talking to himself." Liz said casually.

Su Xia didn't intend to tell Jin Qiutian her last words.

Even the best of friends don't share everything, let alone—

Liz blushed slightly, feeling shy just thinking about what had just happened.

It's really—I can't think about it!

Jin Qiutian's attention was not on Liz.

Only Su Xia's own vlog is still—talking to herself?

Jin Qiutian frowned.

The scene Liz described made it hard for her not to connect it with the scenes she had seen before. Scenes flashed through her mind, finally settling on the time when she first met Su Xia.

When Jin Qiutian first met Su Xia, he didn't know his identity. In the CJ Entertainment Building, Jin Qiutian saw Su Xia arguing with "someone" in Chinese.

Without headphones on and with nothing around her, Su Xia seemed to be arguing with someone, venting her emotions all by herself.

The scene left a very deep impression on Jin Qiutian.

This was the first time she had ever seen someone perform so smoothly without any props.

At that moment, she wondered where this mentally ill person came from.

After getting to know Su Xia and having several interactions with her, Jin Qiutian overturned her previous idea.

Su Xia is not mentally ill, or rather, he is more than just mentally ill.

Apart from the occasional "panel performance," Su Xia behaved normally, even more like a normal person than the other artists.

Geniuses are all extraordinary.

A bold guess emerged in Jin Qiutian's mind.

Could it be that Su Xia has schizophrenia?

He imagined a personality beside him and had a conversation with that personality.

That's how it's always portrayed in movies and TV shows.

Is Su Xia a genius?

At least from the perspective of autumn, yes.

Su Xia, a singer and dancer who has never received systematic scientific training, has reached his current level. If he is not a genius, then who is?

And geniuses have some strange little quirks, which fits the character profile, right?

Jin Qiu turned to look at Liz and found that the child was staring at the ceiling, seemingly lost in thought, her face flushed. She was probably having romantic feelings.

He couldn't help but sigh.

She felt this guess was quite unreliable, yet she also felt that she was right.

Despite my hesitation, I still think it's best not to tell Liz.

Given Liz's personality, she'd most likely reply with, "Unnie, are you still half asleep?"

Assuming my guess is true, then what kind of personality does Su Xia have?

Su Xia's other personality, or rather—Taeyeon's side.

Taeyeon feels a little numb.

She wanted to sleep.

To be precise, she wanted to sleep in.

As a homebody, her motto is to sleep late and wake up late, and to sleep as long as possible.

But now, she can't sleep.

It wasn't her agent calling her, nor was it that her biological clock was keeping her awake; it was that some jerk kept sending her messages, and most importantly—

The worst part is, this damn message notification can't be blocked!!!

Taeyeon picked up the notebook from the table with a blank expression, flipped to the place where they had talked last time, and then saw lines of text.

[It's already 7 o'clock, still sleeping?]

[Stop sleeping, get up!]

[Get up, you jerk! I need to talk to you!]

Where are they? Where are they? Where are they?

[Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up!]

Taeyeon was so engrossed in watching it that the veins on her forehead were about to burst.

She now seriously doubts whether this rude, uncouth, and talkative guy is really her.

[Kim! Tae-yeon! Wake up!]

"Stop sending messages, I'm awake." Taeyeon replied helplessly. If she didn't reply, Kim Taeyeon on the other end would drive her crazy.

[You're finally up! Even my rebellious disciple is more diligent than you. What a disgrace!]

"I really doubt if you're me from the future. I wouldn't be so rude," Taeyeon said, expressing her doubts.

[I can't help it. Spending all day with someone whose words are like poisoned knives, if you don't become rude yourself, you'll just get treated like a pushover.]

[I'm forced by life's circumstances!]

"But I feel like you're just letting your true nature show."

[Never mind that. If this is my true nature, you can't escape it anyway.]

How could my nature possibly be lacking in manners?

Taeyeon thought with dissatisfaction, but her thoughts wandered like wildfire, unconsciously leading her to—

If you set aside your personal standards and use the crudest language to describe everything you dislike—

It sounds like it would be really fun?

No no no!

Taeyeon, how could you let this guy corrupt you?

Absolutely not!

"What do you want so early in the morning?"

Oh, there's something I need to tell you.

[I promised that scoundrel I'd give him two cars, a BMW M4 and a Maybach S680. Could you deliver them to him for me?]

Taeyeon: "?"

Taeyeon stared at the line of text in disbelief.

What do you mean by owing your students two cars?

Or is it Maybach and BMW's MPower?

Girl, are you crazy or am I?

"You're talking about 500 or 600 million (Korean won) all you want? Do you think I have that much money?"

[Don't be so formal. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours.]

[Besides, didn't I already tell you about the stock market's future direction and many other things? A day's earnings are enough, aren't they?]

Taeyeon's expression softened slightly.

That's true. If what Kim Tae-yeon said is true, she will indeed make a fortune in the stock market, and 600 million won is really nothing.

But just having to open my wallet like that is still really unpleasant.

"I don't want to buy it."

Taeyeon stated very frankly that she did not want to give it.

She had only met Su Xia once, and she immediately gifted him two luxury cars worth hundreds of millions of yuan. Was she crazy?

[It's okay, no rush.]

[You'll deliver it sooner or later anyway.]

Taeyeon scoffed.

How is that possible?

Who is Su Xia? Would I be willing to give him a car worth 600 million?

I'd rather lose all my money in the stock market than give it to him!

"Is there anything else? If not, I'm going to sleep."

Don't worry.

[So impatient at such a young age.]

Taeyeon's eyelids twitched.

Is he very young?

She's 36, how can she be considered young?

Oh, the person over there is already forty-one. That's alright then.

[There's someone you should pay close attention to; she might have noticed my presence.]

Taeyeon was startled.

According to her other self's description, she was someone only Su Xia could see, and even she herself hadn't seen her at the time. How could such a being be discovered by a second person?

"Who?"

[IVE's golden autumn.]

Taeyeon pictured a contradictory figure in her mind, one who was both gentle and aloof. She was quiet and stood among the IIVE members, like a short, green onion.

[She can't see me, but she noticed the strange way that traitor spoke to me. Just keep an eye on her.]

"Why would I pay attention to her? I don't have any contact with IIVE or Su Xia," Taeyeon couldn't help but say.

Admittedly, her other self has a very close relationship with Su Xia, and is also very good with IVE, but what does that have to do with her?

Just in case.

[What if you two get along better in the future?]

[You're right, aren't you?]

That makes sense.

Taeyeon nodded, but she knew herself well. Even if her other self had changed a lot in terms of personality, her essence would not change.

She wouldn't have said that if she wasn't sure.

This means that her other self is quite certain that she will come into contact with Su Xia and IVE in the future.

snort!

Taeyeon snorted coldly; she simply refused to believe it!

If he doesn't want to deal with Su Xia, how can Kim Tae-yeon force him to go across the world?

The other side of the notebook.

In the world of 2030, Kim Tae-yeon happily reads the messages sent by her past self.

"I'm going to sleep now, nothing else."

"That stubbornness is so nostalgic," Kim Tae-yeon murmured with a smile.

This familiar taste is truly unforgettable.

That was a past she could never return to.

She returned to her own world from Su Xia's side and found that time here was still frozen on the day she left, and everything seemed unchanged, except for this notebook.

While she was fiddling with the notebook, she wasn't idle either. She used her connections to search for "Su Xia," who was currently doing something unknown.

Although that traitor didn't ask me to help Su Xia in this world, he still asked me to take care of his parents.

She was Su Xia's teacher, and by all accounts, Su Xia's parents were practically her older brothers and sisters, so it was reasonable for them to take care of her, right?

"I wonder if that kid had a good cry in some deserted corner after I left?" Kim Tae-yeon murmured, stroking her chin.

She knew Su Xia well, but she had never seen anything like this before, and she didn't know if it would turn out as she guessed.

Su Xia — Crying?

Aside from crying while watching a movie late at night, Kim Tae-yeon doesn't really have any other recollection of Su Xia crying.

"What a pity, I really wanted to see it with my own eyes." Kim Tae-yeon shook her head regretfully.

I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to see this traitor again.
