Chapter 212: “you Freakin’ Jerk, Kim Tae Yeon.”
In the apartment’s bedroom, three people stared intently at the computer screen, looking at the comments and statements from major media outlets.
The situation before them felt like a seismic change, completely overturning their memories and understanding of the entire incident in 2025.
But this was not a bad thing; it was a good thing.
Krystal, Lin Yoona, and Kim Tae Yeon’s gazes met, and in an instant, it was as if they shared the excitement and relief of this moment with unspoken understanding.
“This is truly satisfying.”
Lin Yoona, gripping her small hands and clenching her fist tightly, couldn’t help but laugh, her tone full of catharsis. “Although I don’t know if there will be any twists later, this situation right now definitely won’t be underestimated, and the impact is predictable.”
As she said this, her voice was filled with relief, and then she looked at Krystal. “But I never expected Xiuyuan to actually find extra evidence, and so perfectly timed. That’s too lucky.”
Krystal, who already knew more details of the matter, nodded slightly after listening and said in a low voice.
“Actually, Xiuyuan had been considering the issue with Kim Sae-ron earlier, but they couldn’t find any loopholes in her evidence chain, so it was delayed.”
“Posting bounty notices on some forums during that time was just leaving it to fate. Since many people posted, he just set the price higher.”
“Looking back now, those twenty million were too cheap.”
Kim Tae Yeon looked at the series of issues regarding Kim Soo-hyun on the screen, a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Then, the image of Kim Soo-hyun 25 years later flashed in her mind, and she shook her head. “It’s truly laughable. He spent so much money in 25 years, only to be brought down by twenty million in ’13.”
Krystal sighed and said calmly, “Let’s put all that aside for now. The most important thing is that we still don’t know the final outcome. We have to wait for further developments.”
Her words plunged Lin Yoona into a brief moment of thought, and after a pause, she finally spoke softly.
“As Xiuyuan said earlier at the villa, if their company had stepped in, Dispatch probably wouldn’t have released this news. The current outcome is likely that they tried but didn’t get the expected results.”
Just as the three were discussing the follow-up developments regarding Kim Soo-hyun in the bedroom computer,
At the small bar counter next door, Lin Xiuyuan stood behind the counter, skillfully pouring and mixing alcoholic beverages.
Meanwhile, not long ago.
At SM Entertainment, Jung Soo Yeon, Lin Xiaolu, and Sulli were gathered in a corner, looking down and discussing the same news.
“Kim Soo-hyun is truly finished this time; even his company can’t escape this chain reaction.”
Jung Soo Yeon said in a low voice, her brows furrowed. “Xiuyuan has really done something big this time.”
After speaking, she glanced at Sulli beside her, suddenly feeling uneasy. “But Sulli, did he really tell you there wouldn’t be any problems? What I’m worried about now is being found out that he provided the evidence. That would be quite troublesome.”
Sulli smiled faintly and shook her head. “Oppa went to several places a few days ago to ensure that this matter was foolproof. Unnie, don’t worry, there won’t be any problems.”
Lin Xiaolu stood beside them and nodded lightly upon hearing Sulli’s reply.
“Actually, I knew Xiuyuan had been paying attention to Kim Soo-hyun for a long time.”
As Lin Xiaolu said this softly, surprise and even a slight palpitation appeared in her eyes.
“I just didn’t expect him to be so determined to bring down Kim Soo-hyun. It seems he really can’t stand that guy. It’s really like the impetuousness of young people, full of youthful spirit, which feels quite handsome.”
Facing Lin Xiaolu’s words, Jung Soo Yeon suddenly smiled, a hint of playfulness flashing in her eyes.
“Last time, his youthful spirit led him to beat up Kwon Young Il. This time, his youthful spirit has directly blown up Kim Soo-hyun’s future. According to what you said, Yoona, who do you think Xiuyuan will pick as the unlucky one next time he acts on his youthful spirit?”
“I think it’ll be Lee Seung Gi, hee hee~”
Sulli interjected with a laugh from the side, a teasing glint in her eyes. “Oppa has disliked him for a long time because of Yoona Unnie, so he’ll definitely seek personal revenge, hahaha~”
Hearing this, Lin Xiaolu’s face stiffened slightly, and she quickly waved her hands. “No, I haven’t contacted him in a long time. He knows that; I even showed him the chat logs last time. Why is he still angry?”
Sulli had an expression of indifference. “Unnie, I didn’t say Oppa was angry. On the contrary, your reaction is quite strange, a bit like trying to hide something that isn’t there.”
When Lin Xiaolu realized she couldn’t argue her way out, she reached out and tickled Sulli under her arms.
Jung Soo Yeon on the side smiled, then frowned as if thinking of something, but then relaxed and didn’t join in the teasing.
After a while, she said with a soft laugh, “Alright, stop fooling around, it’s time to go back.”
After a short chat, the group returned to their respective teams.
And during their conversation, in every corner of SM Entertainment, other artists and staff were also discussing the incident.
Members of groups such as Girls’ Generation, f(x), and Super Junior who were recalled were also talking amongst themselves in practice rooms or meeting rooms.
SM called them back for only one reason: to inquire if they had any connection to Kim Soo-hyun involving underage criminal cases. No entertainment company wanted to get involved in such troublesome matters.
Back in the lounge, Lin Xiaolu listened to her members discussing back and forth. When she heard Choi Soo Young and Tiffany say they didn’t think there would be any problems, she slightly raised her eyes to look at them, but said nothing.
However, apart from them, the opinions of others were clearly more unified.
“I think the other party is probably completely ruined this time. After all, there are two pieces of evidence, and according to Dispatch’s methods, they wouldn’t act without reason.”
“But I think Bae Yong-joon will protect him, and some shareholders of his company won’t let him fall, right?”
“Underage, sigh, it’s hard to say. It depends on how much effort the people behind him are willing to put in later.”
“Alright, alright, let’s stop discussing here. With this time, let’s practice our choreography. The concert tour starts at the end of the month, and we still have a lot of rehearsals to finish.”
Similar topics were passed around within various groups and also quietly circulated in the entertainment industry.
While some passersby were passionately discussing the Kim Soo-hyun incident, industry insiders, especially those from top entertainment companies, had already begun engaging in tense negotiations behind the scenes.
For instance, the companies of some first-tier male stars, particularly those who had once competed with Kim Soo-hyun, were now all making their own calculations.
In the executive board meetings of major companies, discussions erupted one after another, focusing on whether to intensify the exposure of Kim Soo-hyun’s scandals and completely destroy his image.
Some male stars and their teams even began to gather privately, discussing whether to cooperate temporarily to weaken Kim Soo-hyun’s influence.
Everyone understood that such an opportunity was extremely rare. After all, Kim Soo-hyun, as one of the top-tier artists in the Korean entertainment industry, if he could be completely destroyed, it would cause a monumental change in the industry and secure more resources and market share for themselves.
“We have enough material to further ferment Kim Soo-hyun’s scandal, making it impossible for him to recover.”
A major male star’s agent said in a low voice, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
“However, we need to be careful. Although Kim Soo-hyun is in trouble now, he still has some powerful supporters behind his company. We cannot ignore Bae Yong-joon’s influence.” another voice added.
“Bae Yong-joon? In matters like this, he can at most give an opinion. The person who truly has the say won’t be him for now,” a high-level executive of an entertainment company sneered, clearly ready to comprehensively suppress Kim Soo-hyun.
Amidst these undercurrents of discussion, Lin Xiuyuan was still quietly mixing drinks in his apartment.
He stood by the small bar counter, his movements skilled and steady, pouring drinks while observing the color of the liquid in the glass, as if indifferent to everything around him.
Because Lin Xiuyuan knew very well that his task was already completed.
Kim Soo-hyun’s downfall was only a matter of time; others could handle the rest. He didn’t need to continue striking in this storm.
His gaze was fixed on the liquid in the cup, and the ice cubes clinked softly, making a crisp sound.
At that moment, his eyes revealed a hint of a smile, and also a long-lost sense of relaxation.
The tension and pressure of the past ten days seemed to have been instantly diluted with the pouring of this drink.
Just as Lin Xiuyuan lifted his glass to enjoy a moment of peace, the soft conversations from the bedroom gradually became clearer.
Krystal, Lin Yoona, and Kim Tae Yeon walked out, their steps light, with an unconscious joy rising on their faces.
Their gazes naturally fell on the bar counter. Seeing Lin Xiuyuan still focused on mixing drinks, the three exchanged a tacit glance and quickened their pace to the bar.
“Xiuyuan, are you like an ancient strategist, planning meticulously and killing from afar?”
Lin Yoona, who had walked closer, said with a smile, her excitement unconcealed. “Seeing the news about Kim Soo-hyun this time is such a relief, it feels so good. The stifling situation from ’25 has finally been resolved.”
Lin Xiuyuan smiled and shook his head gently. “Things here are just beginning, Yoona. Don’t get your hopes too high.”
Krystal also smiled, a hint of lingering fear and relief in her eyes. “Actually, I’ve been worried all these days about whether something would go wrong with this incident. Fortunately, Dispatch has stepped forward, so you don’t have to take any more risks, Xiuyuan.”
“Yes, now that it’s all out, it’s not my place to interfere anymore. All the cards I could play have already been played at once,” Lin Xiuyuan replied with a slight smile and a calm gaze.
After Lin Xiuyuan finished speaking, Kim Tae Yeon, who had been listening quietly beside them, smiled slightly, picked up a bottle of wine, swept her gaze across everyone, and said softly, “Since everyone is so happy, why don’t we have some drinks to celebrate?”
Lin Xiuyuan smiled slightly, looked up at them, and the curve of his lips softened further. “Of course. Since you all want it so much, I’ll satisfy you.”
Saying this, he took down a large glass jug from the wine rack, his movements effortless and skilled.
First, he poured more than half of the jug of ice cubes into the jug. The collision of ice and glass was crisp and loud.
Then, he picked up several brightly colored fruits, skillfully slicing oranges, lemons, strawberries, and pineapples. The colorful fruits filled the jug, emitting a fragrant aroma, incredibly enticing.
Just this step stunned Krystal and the others. “Is this really how you make cocktails? Xiuyuan?”
Lin Xiuyuan looked at them with a light chuckle, a hint of teasing in his eyes. “There are too many people, and I’m too lazy to make them one by one. Last night’s party made my arms sore, so this time I’ll make more at once for a good celebration.”
Then he narrowed his eyes at the three, with a hint of a joke. “Don’t blame me for making a large batch. You all have to drink your fill tonight.”
Immediately, he picked up a bottle of red wine and slowly poured it into the jug.
The red wine quickly seeped into the ice cubes, coloring them red, and the fruit slices were also dyed through by the bright red wine, releasing a rich aroma of fruit and wine.
Lin Xiuyuan skillfully stirred the liquid, then added orange juice and syrup, adding several layers of complex flavor to the wine.
In the final step, he gently shook the jug, stirring it evenly, so that each portion of the wine was filled with a refreshing fruity taste and a deep red wine aroma.
The three stood by, watching Lin Xiuyuan’s actions, their faces showing unconcealed excitement.
Only Kim Tae Yeon, who had proposed it first, looked a little worried. “After we drink this, will we still be able to walk home?”
Lin Xiuyuan lowered his head and smiled, a hint of slyness flashing in his eyes. “Go home?”
Then he raised his eyebrows slightly. “We won’t go home until we’re drunk.”
After saying this, he shook the jug again, then brought out three wine glasses, skillfully poured the liquid, and handed them to the three in front of the bar counter.
Finally, Lin Xiuyuan picked up his own pre-mixed drink and raised it to them.
“Come, here’s to everyone’s good mood. We won’t go home until we’re drunk tonight.”
“Cheers!” Lin Yoona was the first to raise her glass, excitement and joy sparkling in her eyes. “To Kim Soo-hyun’s downfall, and to each of our victories!”
Her voice was crisp and loud, with a celebratory tone, as if this undercurrent operation had been successful.
And Lin Xiuyuan’s lips curved into a humorous smile. “No problem. Since you’re so enthusiastic, Yoona, remember to reimburse me for the expenses. All my plane tickets, accommodation, and rent over the past few days are all on your tab.”
“Hey, Xiuyuan~”
Lin Yoona chuckled, giving him a slight sideways glance, her face full of helplessness and amusement.
Then the three of them, in unison, raised their glasses, their eyes full of enjoyment and celebration of this moment.
The glasses clinked softly, making a crisp sound, as if toasting to the victory of this behind-the-scenes operation.
Lin Xiuyuan picked up his glass, smiled slightly, and took a gentle sip.
The cool liquid spread in his mouth, the fruit and wine aromas intertwined, bringing an indescribable sense of relaxation.
At the same time, he slightly closed his eyes, his heart exceptionally clear that this battle had not ended in defeat. Although he hadn’t seen the fruits of victory yet, the scales had already begun to tip, and that was enough.
After a few drinks, the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.
The three moved to the sofa area in the back and continued chatting about upcoming matters, with no sign of fatigue on their faces, but rather a sense of excitement and accomplishment.
Lin Xiuyuan leaned back on the sofa, turned slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Just then, the apartment door was suddenly pushed open, and Sulli walked in with light steps.
After putting down her bag, she heard the sounds of laughter from the next room, and a joyful expression gradually appeared on her face.
Then she took off her jacket, walked across the corridor to the small bar, and her eyes lit up when she saw Lin Xiuyuan and the others, along with the large jug of alcoholic beverages and glasses.
Krystal was the first to notice Sulli. Upon seeing her, she immediately stood up and walked towards her with a smile.
“Oh, Sulli, you’re off work?”
“Yeah, Oppa~ Yoona Unnie, Taeyeon Unnie, when did you guys get here? Wow, such a lively celebration, is it because of Kim Soo-hyun’s issue?”
After greeting Lin Xiuyuan and the others, Sulli playfully raised her curved smile, a hint of curiosity in her tone.
Lin Xiuyuan smiled slightly, raised his glass, and with a touch of concern in his eyes, said, “Yes, Jinjin, sit down with us too, have some drinks, and relax.”
Sulli nodded with a smile and then sat down with Krystal.
As the alcohol lubricated their conversation, the atmosphere gradually warmed up and became more lively.
After a few drinks, Sulli’s eyes lit up, and she made a suggestion.
“Since we’re celebrating, how can we not include everyone? Should we make a call and invite Soo Yeon Unnie and Xiaolu Unnie? And Eun-jung Unnie and Ji-yeon too. Let’s all celebrate together, as everyone doesn’t seem to have anything going on.”
As soon as she spoke, everyone exchanged glances, as if they had a tacit understanding, and immediately made a decision.
“Good idea. Let’s all have a drink together,” Krystal seconded, clearly not wanting to miss this relaxed and happy moment.
“And let’s also invite Eun-jung from ’25. It’s really a big reunion for the members,” Kim Tae Yeon added with a smile, a glimmer of anticipation in her eyes.
“Probably not. Eun-jung from ’25 is currently filming on set; she told me today,” Lin Yoona replied with some regret.
So, Lin Xiuyuan picked up his phone and called Jung Soo Yeon and Lin Xiaolu.
The phone rang a few times and was finally answered.
“Hello, Xiuyuan? What’s up?” Jung Soo Yeon’s voice came from the phone, sounding as energetic as ever.
“Are you free? Come over to the apartment to celebrate. Everyone’s here, let’s have some drinks and chat,” Lin Xiuyuan’s voice sounded relaxed.
Everyone is here?
This statement immediately made Jung Soo Yeon raise her eyebrows and reply, “Okay, come and pick me up.”
Afterwards, Lin Xiuyuan called Lin Xiaolu, who also said she was free.
Then it was Ham Eun-jung’s turn.
This time, Ham Eun-jung replied with some regret. “Ah~ a gathering? Sorry, Xiuyuan, the company has an emergency meeting today, and I won’t be free until late tonight. You all celebrate well, and have a few extra drinks for me.”
“It’s so late, what are you still busy with?” Lin Xiuyuan asked with a hint of curiosity.
“The group’s schedule in China is going extremely well, and it seems to have shown the company a promising future, so we’ve been in meetings since this morning and will continue tonight.”
Ham Eun-jung’s voice, though a little tired, carried an undisguised excitement.
Lin Xiuyuan’s eyes lit up, and he immediately felt this was a good thing. “That’s great news, indeed. It seems everything is developing in a good direction. Then you all carry on with your work, and when you’re done, we’ll celebrate your good news.”
“Xiuyuan, your words are so sweet, you really know how to talk,” Ham Eun-jung said with a chuckle.
“Have you tasted it?” Lin Xiuyuan retorted unceremoniously, his tone laced with teasing.
His immediate reaction to say this in his excitement, however, left Ham Eun-jung speechless.
After a few seconds, she let out a light laugh and then hung up the phone.
After putting down his phone, Lin Xiuyuan’s gaze swept over the people around him and he suddenly realized he had set himself up.
Mainly because the way the people beside him were looking at him had become very interesting. After all, among the four people present, three of them had tasted his sweet and moist mouth.
Thinking this, Lin Xiuyuan felt a wave of embarrassment, smiled, and stood up. “I’ll go pick up Soo Yeon and Xiaolu.”
Then he walked towards the Time-Space Door, opened it, and walked through, making Krystal and the others, who had been watching him, burst into laughter.
A moment later, using the ‘Time-Space Door version of Flying Thunder God Technique,’ Lin Xiuyuan blinked back with Jung Soo Yeon and Lin Xiaolu to the apartment, arriving at the small bar counter.
The originally small bar counter became crowded with the addition of the two women, as if the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
With the arrival of Jung Soo Yeon and Lin Xiaolu, the “Little J, Big K” sister duo, plus Lin Yoona and Lin Xiaolu’s “twin” pairing, and Sulli and Kim Tae Yeon, the two roommate friends, the atmosphere at the small bar became even more fervent in an instant.
Laughter and conversations intertwined, as if all the pressure and worries were cast aside at this moment, and everyone was fully enjoying their celebratory time.
However, with more people, the drinks naturally wouldn’t be enough.
Seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan smiled and walked back behind the bar counter, picked up the wine bottles, and skillfully prepared a new large batch of drinks.
The sound of ice cubes clinking in the jug was crisp and pleasant, the wine slowly poured in, and the sweet fruit aroma and rich wine fragrance permeated the air.
This time, he didn’t mix them like before, but chose a more traditional method, fearing that everyone would have a headache the next day. So, he followed the convention and prepared some refreshing drinks.
However, when he brought the drinks back, his gaze swept over them, and he saw that Kim Tae Yeon was already somewhat unconscious.
The whole person slumped by the sofa, eyes half-closed, lips curved in a smile, already entering a state of intoxication.
At the same time, her body seemed to have become much softer, her hand resting unconsciously on the sofa, the other hand gradually hanging down, appearing as if she was about to fall.
And when Lin Xiuyuan gently placed the wine barrel on the coffee table, Kim Tae Yeon, still tipsy, sat up and made space for him.
However, after he sat down, she immediately rested her head gently on his arm, her movement so natural as if she had long been accustomed to leaning on him like this.
“Oh my, Tae Yeon, what’s wrong? You’re drunk already.”
Lin Xiuyuan smiled and lowered his head, asking softly.
Looking at her charmingly drunk appearance, he couldn’t help but feel amused.
Kim Tae Yeon slightly opened her eyes, her voice tinged with drunkenness, “Xiuyuan, I’m really so happy. It’s been so long since I’ve drunk with everyone like this. It’s a really… special feeling.”
Her voice was soft, like dependence, her eyes holding a trace of haze and joy, like a child unwilling to sober up.
Lin Xiuyuan listened, the corners of his lips curving slightly, he gently adjusted his posture to let her lean more comfortably on his arm. Then, he glanced at the people beside him and made a helpless expression.
As if to say: See, she’s drunk again.
Across from them, Jung Soo Yeon saw this situation and asked Lin Yoo Na with a bit of amusement, “After all these years, is Tae Yeon’s alcohol tolerance still so poor? Hasn’t improved at all?”
“I don’t know, it’s been a while since I’ve drunk so freely either. I’ve been drinking slowly before.”
As Lin Yoo Na spoke, she was dealing with the large glass of alcoholic beverages handed to her by Lin Xiaolu. As soon as they touched glasses, she heard Lin Xiaolu’s shout, “Come on, cheers.”
Hearing this voice, Lin Yoo Na felt a headache, but she didn’t want to lose face in front of someone ten years younger than her.
The incident from the last live broadcast still stung her, so even though she frowned, Lin Yoo Na drank the wine in one gulp and immediately felt a numbness in her head.
As Kim Tae Yeon’s drunken state deepened, the drinking contest between Lin Yoo Na and Lin Xiaolu became more intense, laughter and the scent of alcohol rose with it, and the atmosphere grew hotter, as if the entire space was filled with joy.
Just as Lin Xiuyuan was about to pour himself another glass of wine, suddenly, his arm was circled by a small hand.
Turning his head, Lin Yoo Na lightly tapped his shoulder, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness and concern, “Xiuyuan, why don’t you send your older sister back first?”
Lin Xiuyuan froze for a moment, his brow slightly raised, a hint of surprise in his expression.
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
Lin Yoo Na chuckled and replied, “Older sister has an event tomorrow, an autograph session in the afternoon.”
Hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan was speechless, “Then she’s still drinking with us? Is she crazy?”
“She’s happy.”
Jung Soo Yeon answered from the side, “You take her back first. It’s not that far to go and come back, right?”
Seeing that everyone agreed, Lin Xiuyuan stopped babbling. He lifted Kim Tae Yeon, who was on the verge of unconsciousness, and patted her face, “Tae Yeon, do you still have strength? Wake up.”
“She’s probably passed out,” Lin Yoo Na said with a smile, her eyes also showing a hint of moisture.
Lin Xiaolu next to her nodded. The two of them had been drinking until now, sustained solely by a strong competitive spirit and perseverance.
Helplessly, Lin Xiuyuan gently helped Kim Tae Yeon up and steadily supported her body as he walked out of the small bar counter area of the apartment.
The others didn’t move to help, clearly understanding the unspoken agreement.
If they were the ones to get drunk, none of them would want too many people to disturb them.
Regardless of any future developments, at least there shouldn’t be too many people.
At this time, Kim Tae Yeon had lost most of her energy, her eyes were hazy, and her steps were unsteady.
For this reason, Lin Xiuyuan had to support her back with one hand and gently hold her waist with the other, carefully maintaining her balance.
Then he supported her to open the Time-Space Door and, with a single step, crossed over to Kim Tae Yeon’s apartment 25 years later.
He then continued to ask in a low voice, “Tae Yeon, can you hold on?”
Kim Tae Yeon nodded slightly, her lips curved with drunkenness, her eyes still holding a hazy brilliance, seeming to realize that she was completely drunk.
“I’ll help you to bed to lie down for a while, then you can sleep.”
Lin Xiuyuan said this as he gently led her to her bedroom.
When they reached the bedside, he gently placed Kim Tae Yeon on the bed, pressing her back to help her lie down more comfortably.
“You sleep for a while first, I’ll go get you a glass of water.”
Lin Xiuyuan said and prepared to get up and leave, but at this moment, his gaze suddenly stopped on Kim Tae Yeon’s slightly open eyes.
Just as he was getting up, Kim Tae Yeon, who had opened her eyes, suddenly reached out and quickly wrapped her arms around his neck.
A soft blush appeared on her small face, and her lips curved into a captivating smile.
The air was filled with a faint scent of fruit, which mingled with the aroma of alcohol, instantly making the atmosphere of the entire space hazy and warm.
“Xiuyuan…” Her voice was somewhat soft and dependent, “Don’t go.”
Lin Xiuyuan froze for a moment, his gaze flickered slightly. Seeing Kim Tae Yeon like this, he was instantly surprised and couldn’t help but laugh, “Are you faking being drunk?”
“No, I’m really drunk, just woke up for a little bit.”
She mumbled softly, moved closer to him, and her cool lips lightly touched his cheek.
The slightly cool touch made Lin Xiuyuan involuntarily lean closer to her.
Then, her actions became more intimate, with a faint sound of breathing, her soft lips gently kissed the corner of his lips.
Lin Xiuyuan did not push her away. Instead, he gently sat down, his gaze fixed on her dazed face.
He felt Kim Tae Yeon’s unhurried movements and saw her clearly confused, yet **engaged** with immense trust and dependence.
The kiss gradually became firmer, with a hint of faint desire.
Lin Xiuyuan, who had also drunk a considerable amount, couldn’t resist such temptation. So he immediately closed his eyes, feeling Kim Tae Yeon’s warmth and soft lips, countless thoughts flashing through his mind. He didn’t push her away and gently lowered his head, responding to her kiss.
Afterwards, Kim Tae Yeon’s actions began to become somewhat involuntary, as if reason had been drowned by the intoxication.
She gently raised her head, seeming to want to get closer to Lin Xiuyuan, her body involuntarily leaning into his embrace. In that moment, her cool lips touched his neck, carrying the faint scent of alcohol and the sweetness of fruit.
Lin Xiuyuan did not retreat. Instead, he instinctively used one hand to support her back and gently stroked her waist with the other.
He felt her soft skin under his palm, and the warm touch made him unable to resist lowering his head and adjusting her posture.
But as Kim Tae Yeon drew closer to his chest, their breaths intertwined.
This piece of clothing started to become a bit of a hindrance, so Kim Tae Yeon gently raised her hand. Her movements were soft but carried a determined resolve as she slowly pulled her loose white t-shirt up from her shoulder.
The moment the fabric slid through her fingertips, it seemed to shorten the distance between them.
Her voice was low and soft, yet filled with an undeniable proactiveness, “Xiuyuan… I don’t want you to leave.”
This sentence echoed in the silent air, making Lin Xiuyuan’s heart skip a beat, as if struck by an electric current, every nerve in his body trembling.
Subsequently, Kim Tae Yeon’s hand gently glided across Lin Xiuyuan’s chest. The warm touch made his body stiffen slightly, but the impulse in his heart erupted completely at this moment, fueled by the alcohol.
And Kim Tae Yeon’s actions remained soft yet firm, as if unconsciously guiding him.
That trust from her made Lin Xiuyuan unable to resist, and also made him more immersed in the ambiguous atmosphere of this moment.
So, without further hesitation, he slowly drew her closer, his fingertips gently pinching her soft chin, forcing her to lift her head to meet his gaze.
Kim Tae Yeon’s eyes were hazy, her drunkenness not yet gone, but carrying a clear desire. Her eyes seemed to be conveying something.
Her lips parted slightly, exuding a tempting aura, as if awaiting his further response.
Lin Xiuyuan no longer spoke nonsense. He lowered his head and gently kissed her lips again, responding to her call.
Today, Kim Tae Yeon was wearing a loose white t-shirt. The fabric was as soft as cotton, slightly draped over her shoulders, giving off a lazy, casual feel.
The hem naturally fell, outlining her slender figure, but it didn’t cling to her body, giving a sense of ease and comfort, as if her current state was completely defenseless, merely immersed in this quiet night.
This kind of t-shirt was originally very ordinary, but as her body moved closer, the fabric of the t-shirt subtly conformed to her curves, and every subtle movement carried a silent suggestion.
Until she gently pushed the t-shirt aside, the garment slid down, revealing her delicate shoulders and neck. The seemingly unintentional action created an invisible attraction, as if this casual exposure was more seductive.
So this t-shirt, all of a sudden, became extraordinary.
At this moment, Kim Tae Yeon’s proactiveness was no longer a sudden impulse, but a thoughtfully considered desire.
As their actions deepened, Kim Tae Yeon’s fingers began to gently trace Lin Xiuyuan’s body, each touch carrying an undeniable invitation.
Lin Xiuyuan closed his eyes, and the cells of his entire body began to be permeated with Kim Tae Yeon’s aura and body temperature, feeling that every detail of hers was making him unable to extricate himself.
Gradually, his hand slid down from her back, touching her waist, feeling that soft warmth.
His fingers roamed on her skin, searching for her every sensitive point, as if responding to her unspoken desires.
And Kim Tae Yeon did not retreat. Instead, she proactively leaned into his chest, surrendering every inch of her body to him without reservation.
Just as their bodies quietly drew closer under the interplay of intense desire and trust, and the air was filled with an indescribable atmosphere, an ambiguous aura flowing between them.
Suddenly, Lin Xiuyuan found the delicate body in his arms go soft.
Looking down, Kim Tae Yeon, who had been fiery passionate just a moment ago, had fallen asleep the next second.
No matter how he shook her, there was no reaction.
This speechless situation made Lin Xiuyuan look at his brother, then let out a very headache-inducing and exasperated roar.
“You bastard, Kim Tae Yeon.”
……
……
On the other side, inside the apartment’s small bar counter in 2013,
The atmosphere was still relaxed, everyone sat around the sofa, the wine in their glasses gently swirling, the slightly tipsy aroma gradually spreading, the entire space exuding a leisurely atmosphere.
They chatted casually, laughter erupting from time to time, the mood pleasant and relaxed. However, Lin Xiuyuan’s long absence caused their gazes to involuntarily sweep towards the room door from time to time.
Krystal, gently swirling her wine glass, leaned towards Jung Soo Yeon with slightly hazy eyes, “Older sister, why hasn’t Xiuyuan come back yet?”
Although her words were soft, Jung Soo Yeon heard them clearly. She turned to look at her and smiled, “Perhaps Tae Yeon threw up. Xiuyuan should be helping to clean it up.”
Krystal smiled slightly and continued, “Yes, I think so too.”
Then, she looked at Jung Soo Yeon again, a mischievous glint in her eyes, “Older sister, do you want to have Xiuyuan drive you back later?”
Jung Soo Yeon didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she lowered her head and took a sip of wine. The slightly spicy taste of the alcohol spread on her tongue, slightly relieving her fatigue.
Having arrived late, she was still relatively clear-headed and not drunk. Therefore, Krystal’s tone and words made Jung Soo Yeon look at her 25-year-old sister, “Soo Jung, what you’re saying is a bit off.”
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
Everyone was happy tonight, so they had been drinking large amounts, and as a result, Krystal was also a bit tipsy.
Looking at Jung Soo Yeon, her brain’s processing center mistook her for Jessica, so she suddenly blurted out, “Older sister, weren’t you happy last time you ate the meal Xiuyuan made for you? What’s wrong? Having him drive you back now would be exactly what you want, wouldn’t it?”
Cooking?
Happy?
Jung Soo Yeon listened to these words, her mind quickly conjured an image, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
She suddenly turned to look at Krystal beside her, then glanced at the three people who were still drinking opposite them, then picked up her wine glass and said to Krystal with a light laugh, “Let’s not talk about that for now, Soo Jung. Come on, let’s toast.”
Although Krystal didn’t know why ‘Jessica’ suddenly became so happy, she still raised her wine glass and said with great care and blessings, “Come on, cheers. I wish you all the best, older sister. Don’t go down the wrong path again. We all have a brighter future ahead.”
Hearing her words, Jung Soo Yeon had already confirmed that her silly sister must be drunk, mistaking her for someone else.
So, after frantically downing several large glasses of alcoholic beverages for her, she leaned into Krystal’s ear while the latter was hiccuping and asked, “Soo Jung, older sister, I felt a bit moved after eating Xiuyuan’s meal last time. What should I do?”
“Really? Really? Older sister.”
The hazy Krystal did not forget to be excited and happy. She immediately hugged Jung Soo Yeon, who was ‘Jessica’ in her eyes.
Then she started to speak wildly, “Older sister, you don’t know, I went to great lengths for you before. I even thought of many plans behind Xiuyuan’s back, and later decided on one plan, but Xiuyuan directly rejected it. It made me so angry.”
Jung Soo Yeon narrowed her eyes slightly and raised her brows, asking with interest, “Oh, what plan?”
Actually, she had already guessed it, it was nothing more than that so-called ‘captivity play’.
Then, under the catalysis of alcohol, Krystal completely let down her guard and began to reveal all her crazy ideas. Her words mentioned “kidnapping,” “captivity,” and even a crazy plan of “pregnancy,” and she also briefly mentioned Jessica’s situation.
She didn’t realize at all that the ‘Jessica’ beside her, Jung Soo Yeon, had an increasingly complex expression and her brows were furrowing tighter and tighter as she heard these words.
However, what Jung Soo Yeon was worried about was not the so-called ‘play’ plan, but Jessica’s other changes that Krystal mentioned.
Are you kidding me?
What do you want to do, ugly woman!!!
