Peninsula: These female celebrities are all so neurotic.

Chapter 109 Four Women Can Be on the Spring Festival Gala (5K)

The sun is shining brightly in Seoul today, and Lee Ji-eun has finally woken up.

She woke up because her throat was extremely dry.

She squinted and stared at the ceiling for three seconds.

It's unfamiliar; this chandelier doesn't belong to her family.

My brain rebooted.

KakaoM company, dancing, red wine...

Then her body froze.

Fragments of memory pierced my mind, each one playing out a scene.

She was standing in the corridor when she bumped into someone's arms. She looked up and saw Liu Zimu's face.

Then she slapped him across the face.

Snap, snap, snap, three times, three real snaps.

She initially thought he was the male celebrity senior who had been harassing her, but it was actually Liu Zimu who got beaten up.

Lee Ji-eun pulled the blanket over her head and curled up into a ball.

It was dark and stuffy under the covers, but it was better than facing reality.

"Impossible!" Her voice began to wail. "That's not real, it must be a hallucination from drinking too much, it can't possibly happen!"

She turned over, rolled the blanket into a ball, and hugged it to her chest.

He wanted to hit me, but he didn't!

She leaned against his chest again, and his heart pounded so hard he could feel it even through her clothes.

Lee Ji-eun buried her face in the pillow again and let out another muffled wail.

After she finished wailing, she rolled over and said to the air, "It's over! It's over! I've completely embarrassed myself."

She sat up and stared at the guest room door for a few seconds.

He should have left by now, right? What time is it?

She picked up the phone from the ground; the screen lit up—10:30.

I took a deep breath, threw off the blanket, and stepped barefoot onto the floor.

I opened the door to the guest bedroom, looked around, but there was no one there. Only the sound of water seemed to be coming from the master bedroom.

There was a noise coming from downstairs.

It was the buzzing of a microwave oven, the sound of running water, and people talking.

She walked to the bottom of the stairs and quietly looked down. Not seeing Liu Zimu, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Bae Suzy sat at the dining table, holding a glass of milk in her hand, but she didn't drink it. She just held it, lost in thought.

The woman's hair was disheveled and very messy, and her face looked puffy as if she hadn't slept, but her face was still beautiful, so beautiful that it made people want to curse.

Park Jiyeon was standing in the kitchen, opening the microwave and taking things out.

"Ji-eun, you're awake?" Park Ji-yeon had a keen sense of perception. She looked up at her with a lazy smile on her lips. "Come and have breakfast."

Lee Ji-eun went downstairs, sat down opposite Bae Suzy, and stared at the plate of fried dumplings for a couple of seconds.

Golden brown with crispy edges, it looks delicious.

"Who made this?" She picked up one, took a bite, and hissed as it burned, but didn't spit it out.

It was so delicious that she wanted to die even more.

"Oppa made it!" Park Jiyeon nodded and buried her head in her food.

Bae Suzy didn't say a word from beginning to end; she was still holding the milk and staring blankly.

"Where is he?" Lee Ji-eun asked casually, but she felt a little nervous and embarrassed.

Park Jiyeon was still eating, stomping her foot slightly as she ate, saying, "He's already gone to his coffee shop."

Lee Ji-eun finally relaxed, glanced at Bae Suzy, and paused for a moment, then asked, "Suzy, what happened to your face?"

Bae Suzy raised her head, her nose was red, and her eyes were also a little red.

"It's nothing," she said softly, putting down the milk and touching her nose. "It's just... my nose hurts."

"Your nose hurts? Did you get punched?"

"No." Bae Suzy said this and then stopped, picking up her milk and taking a sip.

Lee Ji-eun stared at her for two seconds, but didn't ask any further questions.

Park Jiyeon spoke up again, her chopsticks hovering in mid-air with the second fried dumpling in her hand: "Suzy, you really didn't get beaten up? I vaguely heard you cursing in your room last night."

"How could I swear?" Bae Suzy shook her head, not saying much more.

Of course, she wouldn't say, nor would she dare say, that she had mistaken someone for someone else last night.

Last night, she put her arms around Liu Zimu's neck and tried to kiss him.

The camera was clearer; she stood on tiptoe, her mouth close to his, her nose bumping into his mouth.

She even said, "Oppa, please don't leave me, okay?"

Bae Suzy closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

The most humiliating moment of my life, bar none.

Last night, she was drunk and hugged a man who had a girlfriend, and kissed him on her own initiative.

Not only did she fail to kiss him, she also bumped her nose, and then that person pushed her away.

Bae Soo-ji opened her eyes, picked up her water glass and drank it all in one gulp, the glass clattering against the table.

"I'm finished eating. I'm going to wash up now." She stood up, dragged her chair back a little, and turned to leave.

As she reached the bathroom door on the first floor, she heard Park Jiyeon say behind her, "Suzy's acting strange today."

She didn't turn around.

She closed the bathroom door, leaned against it, and looked up at the ceiling.

The light was white and glaring.

She walked to the sink, turned on the tap, and splashed cold water on her face.

Once, twice, three times.

Water trickled down his chin and dripped onto his collar.

She looked up at herself in the mirror.

Her face was very pale, her lips were almost bloodless, and her nose was a little red; I didn't know if it was from embarrassment or pain.

She reached out and touched her nose.

It doesn't hurt that much anymore, but the image is still in my mind.

The moment her lips touched his, Liu Zimu's eyes...

It wasn't a surprise, it wasn't a flutter of the heart, it was helplessness, like watching an immature, heartbroken child.

Bae Suzy said something to herself in the mirror, but her voice was so soft that she couldn't hear it herself.

I took a tissue to wipe my face, took a deep breath, took off my clothes, and started taking a shower.

Choi Sulli came downstairs.

Her hair was dry, and she was wearing a cream-colored loungewear sweatshirt. Her face was bare, but it was very rosy and she looked unusually healthy.

She walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair and sat down. She glanced at the fried dumplings and sandwiches, then at Lee Ji-eun and Park Ji-yeon.

"Did Oppa make this?"

Lee Ji-eun nodded.

Choi Sulli smiled smugly: "Isn't it delicious?"

Lee Ji-eun nodded again.

Choi Sulli was even happier, smiling like a flower: "Of course, he's my man."

Lee Ji-eun put down her chopsticks, stared at her for two seconds, and said, "Choi Sulli, is your man really that good? He called me a penguin yesterday."

"

"You are a penguin, after all," Choi Sulli said matter-of-factly, reaching out to pick up the last fried dumpling from the plate.

Lee Ji-eun was so angry she wanted to flip the table.

Park Jiyeon laughed so hard she made a dinosaur-like sound, though it wasn't the same sound she used to make when she was younger.

Then she laughed a few times before choking on her saliva and coughing so hard she bent over.

Sulli patted her on the shoulder, chewing on a fried dumpling, and glanced around: "Where's Suzy?"

"She went to take a shower." Park Jiyeon finished coughing, wiped her mouth, and said, "She's not acting right today."

Lee Ji-eun whispered, "That's normal, considering they just broke up not long ago. Yesterday, dancing was probably the happiest she'd had in a while."

The two fell silent.

Choi Sulli stood up, walked to the kitchen, and picked up a sticky note from next to the microwave.

The above is Liu Zimu's handwriting, which shows where everything is, how long the milk needs to be heated, and that the fried dumplings need to be heated, otherwise they will be bad for the stomach.

Choi Sulli folded the note twice and stuffed it into her sweatshirt pocket.

Turning to Lee Ji-eun, he asked, "Ji-eun unnie, did you hit him last night?"

Lee Ji-eun dropped her chopsticks: "I...I didn't."

Choi Sulli leaned against the kitchen island counter, arms crossed, tilting her head to look at her: "This morning, I vaguely heard him complain while washing his face, saying that everything online is a lie, and that Lee Ji-eun really has no manners when she's drunk, and even hit people."

Lee Ji-eun's lips twitched.

Park Jiyeon immediately burst into laughter and collapsed onto the table, her shoulders shaking.

"Hey! Sulli, Jiyeon! I was drunk, and you guys got me drunk." Lee Ji-eun's voice trailed off. "Besides, I didn't do it on purpose. He insulted me first. He called me a penguin."

Park Jiyeon stopped laughing, becoming even more interested: "Ji-eun, how did you do that?"

"I think I slapped him three times," Lee Ji-eun said, her head buried in her chest, her face flushed, her voice growing softer and softer. "Let me make this clear, I was drunk and thought he was a senior colleague harassing me!"

Choi Sulli stared at her for two seconds, the corners of her mouth slowly turned up, and then she and Park Jiyeon burst into laughter.

The two stopped when they saw that Lee Ji-eun was about to lose her temper.

Sulli suppressed a laugh: "Don't worry, he won't hold a grudge."

"What are you laughing at?" Bae Suzy asked as she came out wearing Choi Sulli's pajamas and drying her hair.

Park Jiyeon finished speaking quickly, and Bae Suzy laughed too. Looking at the clueless Lee Ji-eun, she thought to herself, "There are other people as stupid as me!"

After laughing, Lee Ji-eun looked down at the glass of milk.

The cup is white, the milk is milky white, and steam is slowly rising.

She picked it up and took a sip; it was hot and sweet.

I don't know if the milk is naturally sweet or if sugar was added.

She didn't ask.

Park Jiyeon leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms over her stomach, and looked at Choi Sulli: "Sulli, your man is too good to you, isn't he?"

Breakfast is ready, milk is warmed, and a note is written.

"Absolutely." Choi Sulli's tone was tinged with pride.

Lee Ji-eun and Park Ji-yeon snorted, but Bae Suzy remained silent.

Park Jiyeon asked curiously, "He can cook, he can earn money, he looks well-off in this house, and he's very gentlemanly. Last night when he carried me into the house, he didn't even touch me. How did you find someone like this?"

"He came to me of his own accord." Choi Sulli said this with a smirk, but her eyes were serious. "He patted my butt one day, and I knew he was mine."

"Wow! What's going on? Tell me quickly." Lee Ji-eun and Park Ji-yeon exchanged a glance, and Bae Suzy also stopped drying her hair and looked at her.

Choi Sulli thought for a moment and said very seriously, "You don't understand. The situation between him and me is very, very special. So special that if he dies, I will die with him."

All three of them looked at her with strange, yet envious, expressions.

Because Choi Sulli was very serious, and she was completely different from the woman they had in mind.

Bae Suzy said with a smile, "Sulli, you've really changed so much."

Park Jiyeon felt that she and Choi Sulli were not that close or familiar with each other before, but because of last night, they suddenly seemed to be much closer.

She simply nodded, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

Lee Ji-eun looked at Choi Sulli; she knew quite a bit about Choi Sulli.

That man was truly special! And incredibly amazing!

Choi Sulli sat cross-legged in the middle of the sofa, holding a cushion in her arms, and swiped her fingers twice on her phone screen to project the video onto the TV.

"Come on, everyone, sit down." She patted the seat next to her, her tone like a kindergarten teacher organizing children to watch cartoons.

Bae Suzy curled her legs up, keeping a distance of one person from Choi Sulli.

Park Jiyeon came out of the kitchen with a glass of milk, squeezed between the two of them, crossed her legs, and shrank into the sofa.

Lee Ji-eun was still sitting at the table, not moving. She ate incredibly slowly.

"Ji-eun unnie, come here." Choi Sulli waved to her.

Lee Ji-eun stared at the TV screen for two seconds, then stood up, picked up the half-finished glass of milk, and walked over to sit on the carpet instead of squeezing onto the sofa, even though the sofa was quite wide.

The TV screen lit up.

Video Title: [Go, Golden Autumn! When Autumn Meets Senior U and Her Friends]

The loading screen spun twice, and then the screen popped up.

The opening scene shows Liu Zimu and two others standing at the entrance of the KakaoM building, wearing those edgy hoodies.

Jin Qiutian hunched her shoulders, her hat brim pressing down to her eyebrows, while Liu Zimu stood beside her, his expression calm.

"Autumn is so embarrassed," Bae Suzy laughed.

Choi Sulli laughed too: "From the day he actually came here, he liked to bully Qiu Tian."

Lee Ji-eun snorted: "He does know how to create memorable moments. Everyone who sees this outfit will remember it, and it's become their trademark."

Before she could speak, her own voice came from off-screen on the TV: "Oppa, couldn't you guys change your clothes?"

The camera cuts to her face; she stands in front of Liu Zimu, pointing to the words "Golden Autumn is the Best!" on his chest, laughing heartily.

In the living room, Lee Ji-eun buried her face in the milk glass in her hand, but couldn't get it in.

Park Jiyeon was the first to burst out laughing: "Jie Eun, that expression of yours, hahaha..."

"Shut up," Lee Ji-eun's voice was muffled.

The scene shifts to the practice room.

The door opens, and the camera pans across.

Sulli sat on the floor laughing, Jiyeon nestled in a chair, and Suzy leaned against the wall.

Then the image freezes on Liu Zimu, who is standing in the doorway, one foot inside and one foot outside, his face clearly showing his desire to escape.

A line of special effects text floated in from the right side of the screen: [President-nim: Is it too late for me to run now?]

Then he started to run away, but was caught by Lee Ji-eun and Choi Sulli.

Bae Suzy's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but laugh.

Choi Sulli laughed out loud: "Look at his expression, doesn't it look like he was caught cheating?"

Park Jiyeon added, "It's like that expression of yours, isn't it? But it also looks like you've been caught on camera by paparazzi."

"Hey! Jiyeon unnie!"

The scene continues.

Six people stood in a row, and the music started, the intro to "NoNoNo".

Park Jiyeon burst into laughter at the very first move, Bae Suzy bit her lip to hold it in, Lee Ji-eun's cheeks bulged from trying to suppress her laughter, and Choi Sulli couldn't hold it in any longer and bent over laughing.

The camera focuses on Liu Zimu.

His hands were raised above his head and swayed from side to side, but his upper and lower body moved separately, as if two different people were being directed by the same brain.

Special effects text floated by one after another:

Is this dancing or a shamanistic ritual?

[Did the president's legs and body get divorced?]

[Park Chorong has fainted from crying! Hapkido ready!]

In the footage, Jin Qiutian was dancing quite well at first, but when she caught sight of Liu Zimu out of the corner of her eye, her rhythm went off.

Special effects text: [Autumn-senpai: I don't know this person!!! President, please stay away from me!!!]

Then came Lee Ji-eun's (IU's) hysterical laughter, accompanied by special effects and on-screen text: 【IU: I'm a professional unless I really can't help it】

In the living room, Lee Ji-eun put down the milk glass, curled up into a ball, and buried her face in Park Ji-yeon's lap: "Hey! Can you not put it down?"

Park Jiyeon laughed even harder and reached out to pat her head: "It's okay, you're not the only one who's embarrassed. Look at Suzy."

The camera then cut to Bae Suzy.

She made that wave motion with such small movements that it was as if she were testing the water temperature, and her expression was somewhere between laughing and crying, with her lips pressed tightly together.

Special effects text: 【Suzy! Are you serious?】

Bae Suzy covered her face with her hands.

Choi Sulli laughed so hard she fell onto the sofa, and a cushion fell to the floor, but she didn't pick it up.

The climax is here.

Liu Zimu stood in the center and sang: "Se'erhajima, NONONO..."

The system played back the broken "NONONO" three times, each time with different special effects and subtitles.

First time: [Is this a sound a human can make?]

Second time: Park Chorong bought a plane ticket to fly abroad overnight!

Third time: [Park Chorong: Please stop singing!]

Then came the scene in the practice room where five women were laughing uncontrollably.

The four of them were laughing hysterically in the living room, and Lee Ji-eun almost bumped her head on the coffee table.

"Wow! Oppa, where did you find this editor? The quality is cinematic! The release speed is incredible! The post-production is absolutely phenomenal!"

Choi Sulli's eyes darted around, also somewhat puzzled.

Is my man really becoming more and more mysterious? Could it be that he really gained superpowers when he traveled through time, but he won't admit it?

The video continues, bringing us to the song "MR."

Liu Zimu suddenly became very impressive, and he even started his own commentary segment.

"Lee Ji-eun, do you know you're as stiff as a penguin?"

The camera zooms in on Lee Ji-eun's face—her smile freezes, her eyes widen, her mouth is slightly open, and she has a completely bewildered expression.

Special effects text:

[Penguin Plastic Certification!]

IU: I've got it. You just wait!

Lee Ji-eun lifted her head from Park Ji-yeon's shoulder, stared at her own face on the TV screen, and took a deep breath.

"Liu Zimu, he's doomed. Even Jesus can't save him." The tone was calm. "I, Li Zhi'en, said it."

Park Jiyeon laughed until tears streamed down her face, and she reached out to wipe her eyes.

Then it's Bae Suzy's part.

"And you, Suzy, are you a rabbit? Your wave looks like a rabbit shivering. Can't you make it a little bigger?"

Bae Suzy's face turned red from the base of her neck to the tips of her ears in the video. She froze for a moment, then continued jumping, looking more like a startled rabbit hopping around.

Special effects text: 【Suzy: Please let me go】

Bae Suzy lowered her hand from her face, her ear tips still red.

Then came the final farewell. The four of them encouraged each other for the supplementary recording in the golden autumn, and the little girl cried again.

The four women sighed with admiration and kept encouraging her.

Park Jiyeon suddenly asked, "But Sulli, in the video, you and Oppa seemed a bit intimate, are you okay?"

Sulli laughed: "Scared? I, Sulli, am not afraid of anything now!"
