Yoona was speechless after hearing Sunny's words.

"He's come to the Peninsula. You must have seen what Jessica has been up to these past few days." She downed her drink in one gulp, her expression serious.

"Jessica is with him? He hasn't contacted you?" Sunny suddenly understood Jessica's behavior over the past few days, her eyes filled with doubt.

Yoona was a little irritated. "He sent me a message, but I... didn't reply much." Her voice grew softer and softer, filled with deep regret.

"If you're going to break up, then break it off cleanly. I can't even respect you like this." Sunny tapped the back of her neck, tilted her head back, and said, her tone full of dissatisfaction.

"I can't bear to part with her. I've liked her for so many years, but I have to consider reality. What can I do?" Im Yoona's tears kept falling, like beads from a broken string. Sunny pushed a tissue in front of her, not comforting her, thinking that she had brought it on herself.

"I thought you had a good chance, but now you've basically handed her over to her. Li Qingshan must have seen the news too. Aren't you just playing with people?" Sunny got angrier and angrier as she spoke. If they weren't close, she would have left by now.

"Just break it off. What else can you do? Just imagine how he'll feel if he sees this message."

"If it were me, I would find it ridiculous. If you had a new choice, you could have told me earlier. You're keeping in touch with me here, and you're flirting with someone new over there, all at the same time. Ugh, I can't even think about it, my blood pressure is rising." Sunny was really speechless. This was such an unethical thing to do.

Even Yoona herself found it absurd. Sunny analyzed her actions clearly, and Yoona herself felt disgusted.

"Drink up, take it one step at a time, think it over carefully. You still have time to discuss it with the company. If the company's announcement is released, it will be too late to back out." Sunny downed three glasses in a row; she was furious.

"Then I'll ask my manager." Lim Yoona took out her phone and made a call. It took a long time for the call to be answered, and she put it on speakerphone.

"Oppa, please deny this for me..." Im Yoona hurriedly explained the situation to her manager.

The agent didn't respond much until she finished speaking.

"Yoona, now I'll talk to you, and you'll listen." The manager's attitude was very serious, and his voice was low and suppressed.

"Do you know what we got from urgently contacting several media outlets? Yes, not just one, but many."

"Do you know how many photos there are? Do you know when you started being photographed?"

"There are hundreds of photos, taken in various occasions. Judging from the clothes, it should be from September to October until just now. The photos were also taken when I took you home."

"Such a long time span, including long shots and close-ups that even show the pimples on the face very clearly."

"What are you thinking? If you deny it now, what do you make yourself? A slut? A green tea bitch? A monster of ambiguity?"

"If your public image collapses, have you thought about the consequences? You're finished, and the entire Girls' Generation group will be dragged down."

"You're only telling me now that you want to deny it? We're still communicating with Lee Seung-gi's side in the middle of the night about your situation."

"We've known each other for so many years, and we've seen it all in this industry. All I can tell you now is that this isn't simple; it was definitely premeditated. This is based on my personal experience. Think about it carefully."

"The company's initial idea is to acknowledge it first. As for whether you will stay with him for the long term, that's your business. Even if you break up, we'll have to wait a year before making an announcement."

"That's all for now, I have a meeting."

beep...

Both Yoona and Sunny were stunned, and the room fell into a deathly silence.

Sunny's brain raced: "It's not a problem with the company, it must be Lee Seung-gi's side. Now, we don't have to choose anymore, we have no choice."

Yoona is feeling extremely frustrated right now, but she can only blame herself. She has brought this upon herself and feels incredibly regretful and remorseful.

Sunny spent the whole night talking with Lim Yoon-a and finally realized that the company's decision was the best one. Having her act in a few dramas a year and then announcing the breakup a year later was the best outcome at present.

The morning of the first day of the new year.

After Li Qingshan got up, he found that the two sisters hadn't gotten up yet. He got up and did some morning exercise, then went out to find something to eat.

There's no tradition of eating breakfast on the peninsula, so he ended up finding a bakery and buying a big bag of various breads and cakes.

Back at the guesthouse, Jessica had just woken up. When she saw Li Qingshan carrying large bags, she was still a little dazed, and her sleepy appearance was quite adorable.

Li Qingshan kissed her as he passed by and told her to go wash up. "Don't wake Krystal up yet, let her sleep a little longer."

The two drank milk and ate toast.

"Let's go skiing today, have some fun. It's rare that you two sisters can both take a break."

"I can't skate, I'll ask Krystal later." Jessica was tempted, but she knew she was terrible at sports, so she was a little nervous.

No sooner had she finished speaking than her younger sister came out of the room rubbing her eyes. They were truly sisters, both looking completely bewildered, which made everyone chuckle.

The three of them sat in the living room having breakfast. Krystal was particularly excited when she heard that they could go skiing and said she wanted to go.

The two sisters dressed up carefully and prepared to set off.

Jessica and Krystal were driving a Maserati, while Li Qingshan was driving Krystal's SUV.

The distance wasn't far, less than an hour's ride. Neither of the two girls knew how to ski, so Li Qingshan had to teach them himself.

Krystal learns quickly, but Jessica is like a blockhead.

Li Qingshan took Jessica to the advanced slide, while Krystal was still having a great time on the beginner slide.

"I'll carry you while you skate, so you can feel it." Li Qingshan was snowboarding.

Jessica jumped onto Li Qingshan's back. Looking at the steep ski slope, her legs went weak and her heart was in her throat.

She didn't dare open her eyes from beginning to end, and Li Qingshan felt that he had wasted his time.

Krystal also playfully begged to experience it too.

Li Qingshan led her upstairs, and Krystal was extremely excited.

"It's starting now. Don't try to imitate your sister and blast my ears with your high-pitched voice." Jessica's scream was still echoing in Li Qingshan's ears, and he joked.

It started, speeding along, turning left and sliding right.

Jessica was recording a video on her phone downstairs. She was very happy to see her younger sister clinging to Li Qingshan's back like a sloth, cheering. Her face was beaming with happiness.

She also found the photo collection point, took out more than a dozen enlarged high-definition photos, and greeted the staff.

Because there wasn't any intimate behavior in the photos at the ski resort, she lied to the staff and said that Li Qingshan was her manager.

They played until 2 p.m., then left the ski resort to find a place to eat.

Li Qingshan watched Krystal pound her legs and reminded her that she would be sore all over for the next three or four days.

Krystal looked distressed. "Oppa, there are still three or four days left, but it's already starting to hurt."

Li Qingshan found a local specialty sizzling pork offal restaurant and enjoyed his meal immensely. He was particularly pleased with how the meat tasted so delicious.

"How many days of leave do you have left?" Li Qingshan asked, picking up a piece of crispy sausage and putting it in his mouth.

"I don't know, but I estimate it will be at least a week before you see the news." Jessica looked up at Li Qingshan, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"I saw it. Little Crystal, how many days do you have left?" He remained calm, continuing to eat his pork offal, as if he didn't care about the news.

"Where are we going to go in two more days, Oppa?" Krystal asked expectantly, thinking it would be fun to play with her brother-in-law.

"When we get back to Seoul, let's go straight to Jeju Island. The beach in the snow is quite interesting. Do you guys want to go?" Lee Cheong-san planned the route in his mind, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Everything was almost settled when Jessica received a call saying she had to go to the company for a meeting, and all the Girls' Generation members had to be there.

Krystal looked miserable; she was all set to go have fun, but her face showed utter disappointment.

"She's in a meeting. Go back and get your credentials. It's not like you can't go." Li Qingshan knew it was probably something that happened yesterday. If they didn't manage Girls' Generation soon, it would become a dating era. He comforted Krystal.

Li Qingshan took Jessica straight to SM Entertainment and dropped her off in the underground parking lot.

"I'm going back to the hotel to get my documents. Don't forget yours either. Let me know when you're almost done. I'll drive off first and wait for you at this spot." Li Qingshan said and left.

Jessica watched the car drive out of the parking lot and then went upstairs.

When Taeyeon arrived, she ran into Lee Cheongsan. One went in and the other came out. Just as she was about to greet him, she realized that the driver was a man. Before she could recognize who it was, the car drove away.

In an SM Entertainment meeting room, almost everyone had arrived except for Jessica and Taeyeon, who were the two most prone to being late.

Jessica walked into the meeting room and felt the atmosphere was very oppressive. The group greeted each other, and Yoona, who was playing with her fingers with her head down, looked at Jessica when she heard the noise.

Looking at Jessica, Lim Yoona felt that she had become more beautiful, with a rosy complexion, good health, and a good mood.

Jessica sat down next to Hyoyeon, and the two chatted casually. When Kim Tae-yeon arrived, she sat down next to Jessica and quietly asked who had driven her car earlier, as the person looked very familiar.

Although her voice was soft, it wasn't quiet in the quiet meeting room, and most of the members could hear it.

Jessica said, not too softly, "Li Qingshan, you should have met him before."

Taeyeon finally remembered that Lee Chung-san had been at the company for half a month and she had seen him a few times. Even Kim Heechul, that narcissistic guy, said, "I may not be as handsome as him, but I am prettier than him."

For Kim Heechul to say something like that, he must be incredibly handsome.

Apart from Yoona and Sunny, everyone else was making a fuss, each with a mischievous grin on their face.

Sunny leaned on the table, observing Yoona and Jessica. After a while, she realized that Yoona was out of the running.

"Oh, what's this? Let me see." When Jessica was looking for tissues in her bag, Taeyeon saw the skiing photos and took them out without thinking much about it.

Actually, Jessica did it a little on purpose; if she had stopped Taeyeon, she wouldn't have taken it out.

"Wow, you guys went skiing? Is Aoyama this handsome now?" Yuri leaned over and saw the photo, which was one of the pictures of Lee Aoyama carrying Jessica while skiing.

Jessica leaned on Li Qingshan's shoulder, closed her eyes, and screamed with a bright smile.

Li Qingshan was also laughing, but he seemed startled by the screams and looked a little frightened.

The photo was passed around and eventually reached Yoona, who glanced at it and handed it to Sunny.

She got up and said she was going to the restroom, and Sunny followed her, watching Yoona's retreating figure.

He then took out more than a dozen photos and showed them to the group.

"What does Aoyama oppa do now? If he debuted with his looks... tsk tsk." Yuri sighed as she held up the photo.

"He graduated from Harvard and is now an independent investor." Everyone listened to Jessica's words and looked at her proud expression.

In the restroom, Lim Yoona burst into tears as soon as she entered; the photos from earlier had traumatized her.

Sunny then went into the restroom, checked each stall, and, finding no one there, locked the door again.

Sunny gently patted Yoona's back. "Forget it. Don't blame anyone. You gave it away yourself."

"I know, I deserve it, I deserve it!" Lim Yoona cried very sadly. She didn't blame Jessica, she had no right to blame others, she deserved it herself.

But it hurts so much. If she had known it would hurt this much, she shouldn't have taken this step. Now it's too late.

They cried for a while before someone knocked on the door, and only then did they tidy themselves up and return to the meeting room.
