Peninsula: The idol by the bedside refreshes randomly.

Chapter 106 Is she going to compete with Soo-yeon for the same man?

The heavy atmosphere that had just eased in the living room instantly froze again.

Kim Tae-yeon's words exploded in Jessica Jung's ears like a cannonball, leaving her stunned and staring wide-eyed at Kim Tae-yeon.

Jonghyun and Sulli were both close friends and family members, and they also...

Jin Ruanruan, who was directly in the line of fire, was speechless.

Only one sentence swirled in her dazed mind.

"What kind of life script did I get?"

Nearly an hour later, the door opened.

Kim Yuen-yeon and Jessica Jung walked out of the villa.

However, both of their eyes were red, and it was clear that they had just been crying.

The two got into the car.

After a few seconds of silence in the car, Jin Ruanruan said in a hoarse voice, "I'll call Dad first."

Jessica Jung nodded: "Okay."

Jin Ruanruan took a deep breath, composed herself, took out her phone, and made a call.

After a few rings, the call connected, and a gentle voice from a middle-aged man came through.

"Oh, Ruan Ruan, why are you calling all of a sudden? Aren't you busy today?"

Hearing her father's voice, Kim Ruanruan thought of the news Kim Tae-yeon had just mentioned about her father's passing 20 years ago, and her emotions began to surge again.

She took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound normal.

"Dad, where are you now?"

"I'm at the glasses shop right now. What's up? Is there something you need?"

"Dad, have you and Mom gone to the hospital for a check-up recently?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Jin's father's voice came through again: "Your mother and I had our physical exams last year, and we're in good health, so we were thinking we wouldn't need to..."

"Father!"

Before Mr. Jin could finish speaking, Jin Ruanruan suddenly raised her voice and interrupted him.

Thinking of the terrible outcome Kim Tae-yeon had mentioned, and now hearing that Kim's father hadn't gone to the hospital for a check-up, Kim Ruan-ruan's emotions, which she had just suppressed, surged up again, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes.

"Dad, you and Mom need to go for regular checkups, didn't you promise me?"

"Ruanruan, don't cry."

Mr. Jin recognized his daughter's sobbing voice and immediately panicked.

"I understand, I understand. Don't cry. I'll go to the hospital for a checkup with your mom tomorrow, okay?"

Although I don't know why my daughter is suddenly so agitated, the most important thing now is to calm her down.

"No, we'll go this afternoon. It's only noon now, we'll have plenty of time."

"Okay, okay, we'll go this afternoon, we'll go this afternoon, please stop crying, okay?"

"It's a promise, don't lie to me. I'll have oppa go with you guys."

"Okay, I understand."

In the passenger seat, Jessica Jung watched Kim Yeon-yeon wipe away her tears while making a phone call, and she completely understood how Kim Yeon-yeon felt.

If it were her father, she would have rushed home by now and dragged her parents to the hospital for a check-up.

Jin Ruanruan hung up the phone with her father and immediately called her brother Jin Zhiyong, instructing him to take their parents for a medical check-up that afternoon.

Jin Zhiyong immediately agreed.

At home, his biggest fear was his younger sister.

The trauma of being punched and made to cry when I was a child is still there, so I dare not disobey.

After settling things with her parents, Jin Ruanruan put down her phone, looked at Zheng Xiuyan beside her, and pursed her lips.

"What should we do about Soo-yeon, Jonghyun, and Sulli?"

Jessica Jung lowered her eyes slightly and thought for a moment.

"Mental illnesses are more complex and involve privacy, so we can't say it outright. We can only pay more attention to their condition and intervene promptly if we find anything wrong."

Jin Ruanruan nodded; this was the only option for now.

Actually, if Kim Tae-yeon hadn't told them this news today, none of them would have imagined that Jonghyun and Sulli would get sick, let alone become so seriously ill in the future.

These two are clearly the most cheerful people among those around them.

After calming themselves down, Jin Ruanruan started the car and drove towards their former dorm.

But neither of them noticed that a nanny van was quietly parked on the roadside not far away.

Behind the car window, a pair of doe-like eyes had noticed the two women as they came out of the villa.

Deer Eyes watched the car drive away, then turned his gaze to the villa, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Inside the villa.

The living room became quiet again after Kim Yuen-yuen and Jessica Jung left.

After a long pause, Jessica's voice suddenly rang out: "Chen Ran and Shirley seem to be seeing each other quite frequently lately. Aren't you worried at all? What if Shirley falls for Chen Ran...?"

She didn't finish her sentence, but Kim Tae-yeon knew what she meant.

If Shirley falls for Chen Ran, what will she think, and how will she handle the situation?

However, Kim Tae-yeon seemed to have already considered this question, calmly replying, "I may only have a month left, what's the point of thinking about it so much?"

"If I never see Xiaoran again in a month, will these questions still be relevant to me?"

Upon hearing this, Jessica raised an eyebrow.

Kim Tae-yeon's current attitude is exactly the same as hers.

After experiencing moving to a new house, Jessica's deepest realization was:

Don't overthink it. Overthinking is useless and will only lead to regrets.

Just like Kim Tae-yeon said, they might not have the chance to see Chen Ran again in a month.

The question of whether Shirley might fall for Chen Ran is naturally irrelevant to them.

All Jessica needs to know right now is that she likes Chen Ran and Chen Ran likes her too; nothing else matters.

Now, she only follows four words:

Carpe Diem.

"Hing~ You think the same way I do on this point."

Jessica chuckled and replied, then suddenly remembered something and glanced back upstairs.

"Hey, guess what Chen Ran is doing right now? I bet he's thinking about how to resolve the relationship between the three of us."

He's just a young man in his early twenties, and he wasn't a scumbag before. What happened last night was definitely beyond what was acceptable for him.

However, when faced with her seemingly casual question, Kim Tae-yeon didn't answer. Instead, she glanced at her sideways and said, "That's not important. What's important is why you're still here."

"I clearly scheduled two hours per week, and you've obviously exceeded that time, by a significant margin. What? Are you planning to use up all your time this month in advance?"

If you hadn't suddenly interfered yesterday, would last night's situation have occurred?

Don't think I'm really letting it go just because you stole the first soup. I just didn't want to make a scene because Xiao Ran was home.

"You!" Jessica glared at her angrily.

You, Kim Tae-yeon, you were supposed to be my comrade-in-arms last night, and now you're turning your back on me?

"snort"

After making eye contact with her for two seconds, Jessica snorted, picked up her bag, and stood up.

"If you're not going to stay, then you're not going to stay. Yoona just messaged me to ask me to have coffee. I was just about to leave anyway."

She took two steps, then suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked, "What did you say when you secretly pulled Jin Ruanruan into the kitchen?"

After the woman finished talking to Jin Ruanruan about Shirley, she suddenly pulled Jin Ruanruan to the kitchen, saying she was going to get water, but Jessica knew it couldn't be that simple.

When faced with her question, Kim Tae-yeon did not answer, but said, "If you don't leave, I'll assume that you've had all your remaining time deducted from your schedule this month."

"Tch~ Fine, don't tell me then. You're making it seem like I can't guess at all." Jessica pouted.

Just as Kim Tae-yeon understands her, she understands Kim Tae-yeon just as well.

She tilted her head slightly and called out to the second floor, "Chen Ran, I'm leaving."

The sound of a door opening came from the second floor soon after, and Chen Ran strode out of the study.

"Huh? Jessica, you're leaving now?"

"Yeah, Yoona asked me to have coffee. I smell like I'm drunk right now, so I need to go home, take a shower, and change my clothes. I'm leaving now, I'll come back another day."

Jessica waved to Chen Ran and then turned and left gracefully.

Chen Ran, standing on the second floor, was left completely bewildered.

No, you're leaving already?

Did you forget something?

We haven't had a proper talk about what happened last night yet.

He was alone in his study just now, and apart from replying to the messages sent by Choi Jin-ri and Park Ji-yeon last night, he spent the rest of the time thinking about this matter.

And now you've left without even looking back?

Anyone who didn't know better would think that I didn't satisfy you last night, and that you have no feelings for me at all.

"click"

The door slammed shut.

Chen Ran blinked blankly, then subconsciously looked at Kim Tae-yeon sitting on the sofa.

Kim Tae-yeon also looked at him, her eyes crinkling with a smile, her expression full of tenderness.

She had absolutely no intention of settling scores with him because of what happened last night.

Chen Ran blinked again, falling into even greater confusion.

Could it be that I'm actually the one they're after?

On the other side, Jin Ruanruan's car drove into the underground parking garage and stopped near the elevator entrance.

Jessica Jung, sitting in the passenger seat, unbuckled her seatbelt and looked at Tae-yeon Kim, suddenly remembering what Jessica had just thought of.

"By the way, Taegu, did Kim Tae-yeon talk to you about anything else when she pulled you into the kitchen earlier?"

Jin Ruanruan, who had just unbuckled her seatbelt, blinked and replied, "Oh, it's nothing, she just told me some things about her family."

After she finished speaking, her gaze unconsciously wandered for a moment.

"Oh, I see."

Jessica Jung nodded upon hearing this, unaware of the subtle change in her expression.

The two got out of the car, with Jessica Jung walking in front and Kim Yeon-yeon lagging behind by two steps.

She glanced furrowed her brow as she looked at Jessica Jung's retreating figure.

Actually, when Kim Tae-yeon pulled her into the kitchen earlier, it wasn't to talk about family matters, but rather about Chen Ran.

"I, who is your future self, will fall in love with Xiao Ran, so you might as well spend more time with her now, since you'll end up liking her anyway."

Kim Tae-yeon's words seemed to echo in her ears, and Kim Ruanruan pursed her lips.

Will I... fall in love with Chen Ran in the future?

The image of Chen Ran with a smile involuntarily appeared in her mind.

To be honest, Chen Ran's age, appearance, personality, and so on are indeed her ideal type.

but..

Jin Ruanruan looked up again at Zheng Xiuyan's back in front of her, her two eyebrows gradually furrowing together.

Xiuyan seems to like Chen Ran a lot too.

If she were to develop feelings for Chen Ran again...

That would mean two people would be fighting over the same man.
