Chapter 89: The “demon” In Krystal’s Heart
In 2025, in the villa’s living room.
Lin Xiuyuan, Jung Soo Yeon, and Krystal sat there, you gazing at me, me gazing at you.
After a while, seeing that no one was speaking, Lin Xiuyuan’s mind twitched, “Don’t be silence is golden, just say whatever you have to say. Or, the older ones speak first?”
“Pa~”
“Get lost~”
Krystal unceremoniously swung the pillow and smashed it over, followed closely by Jung Soo Yeon’s frustrated scolding.
“I’m just trying to liven up the atmosphere, sigh, why don’t you all appreciate it.”
Lin Xiuyuan, who blocked the pillow, gave an awkward smile and continued, “But speaking of which, Krystal, don’t mention that bad idea of yours anymore, it’s really quite outrageous.”
“Hmph~”
Although a bit angry, Krystal could still listen to what others said and wanted to ask, “Why?”
“Can it help pay off the debt, and also help pay off the favor?”
Jung Soo Yeon answered very bluntly. These days, through chats with Krystal, she had also learned quite a bit about Jessica’s stupid matters.
Besides some messy brand issues and debt, there were also fallouts with some friends and favors, and finally that shoehorn-face mess.
Simply put, the debt on Jessica was just a negligible issue.
So after just listening to Krystal’s words and Lin Xiuyuan’s complaints, she had also come down from the second floor.
Moreover, after speaking, Jung Soo Yeon looked at Krystal and asked, “What’s going on with you today? Didn’t we agree before? Why suddenly bring this up again?”
Krystal lowered her eyelashes and spoke with some hesitation.
“Jessica has a best friend who’s preparing to get married, and she’ll definitely attend the wedding then. I’m really worried that if she gets carried away, and then grits her teeth and gets married too, that would truly be beyond salvation.”
After saying this, Jung Soo Yeon immediately fell silent.
She said she didn’t want to care about Jessica, but thinking of that woman using her own face, actually marrying that ugly man, starting a family, living life…
On her silent expression, a few traces of discomfort and frustration were instantly added, only feeling an inexplicable irritability spreading in her chest.
At this point, Jung Soo Yeon finally understood why Park Ji-yeon went so crazy cursing after learning that her future self over there had gotten married and then divorced, and that the man was so extraordinarily ugly.
She would curse that wildly; just imagining this feeling made one feel uncomfortable all over.
At this time, a voice came out, “Are you all overthinking it? People from the past, wanting to save them is fine, after all, it hasn’t happened yet, not deeply trapped.”
Lin Xiuyuan, who spoke leisurely, continued, “But for people now, what makes you dare to think that? My time-space door goes back to the past, not traveling to the future.”
The two sisters quickly looked at Lin Xiuyuan who was speaking, only to see him say, “What has happened can’t be changed, this has been said many times.”
Then he clapped his hands, “Alright, this topic ends here. Regarding Jessica’s situation, it ends here too, can’t save her, no way. The only way I just said: find a hitman to take out the shoehorn-face, then have her pay off the debt completely, and afterward she’ll be free and easy.”
Otherwise, even if they break up, as long as the person is still alive, those cooperations, contracts, social relations are still there.
Still a tangled mess, a rotten account, the kind that’s inextricably linked.
But at this moment, Krystal still couldn’t quite accept it and spoke up, “Why don’t you first hear how I think? I just said the first step.”
Lin Xiuyuan and Jung Soo Yeon exchanged a glance and both nodded.
“Say it.”
“Mm.”
Then Krystal took a breath and said seriously, “Actually, this is what I think: have Jessica pay off the debt first, then tie her back to 2013. I’ll unilaterally break up with Kwon Young Il over here, during which older sister can video call remotely or put on some makeup to show up in person as a substitute.
During that time, we’ll collectively push off all her work for her, make her completely exit the industry. Finally…
Krystal looked at Lin Xiuyuan, “You make Jessica pregnant, give her a child, so she can’t turn back. This way, her fantasies are completely cut off, and everyone is happy.”
The air was quiet for two seconds.
“WTF… fuck!”
After hearing Krystal’s entire idea, Lin Xiuyuan instinctively wanted to run away, his mouth already sucking in two or three breaths of cold air.
His face showed an expression like being struck by lightning as he looked at her, “Krystal, exactly from which demon’s mouth did you get this script? Fu…ck, such ruthless operation, such vicious idea.”
“Kidnapping + pregnancy play, right.” Jung Soo Yeon also grinned, struggling to squeeze out a sentence.
The two looked at Krystal as if seeing a demon cloaked in an angel’s skin.
Gazing at the shocked expressions of the two beside her, Krystal felt her idea was simply genius, so she said righteously.
“Why are you all looking at me like that, I think it’s pretty good. Compared to letting her jump into that big pit over there, I’d rather have her jump into our pit.”
“Change the way of dying, right.” Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t laugh anymore, his expression strange.
Jung Soo Yeon continued, “Die even more miserably.”
Actually, following Krystal’s idea, after Jung Soo Yeon put herself in it, she felt a bit unable to take it.
This was equivalent to decades of effort, work, friends, life trajectory all ruined, and inexplicably having an extra child from a ‘rapist’.
Not to mention Jessica, anyone would go mad.
Just thinking about it causes collapse, just hearing it makes one want to draw a knife and hack.
“Is it that exaggerated?”
Krystal asked softly, “If it were me, I think I could accept it.”
Not understanding why Lin Xiuyuan and Jung Soo Yeon reacted so strongly, Krystal felt that if it were her, after reuniting with Sulli and the previous Jung Soo Yeon, she suddenly felt that work was just like that.
Restarting a new life didn’t seem like a difficult thing at all.
Everything beautiful she liked was in 2013, in this 2025 time-space, there was nothing she liked.
Understanding Krystal’s thoughts, Jung Soo Yeon sighed lightly, stepped forward and hugged her, “That’s your idea, not Jessica’s idea, Soo Jung. You can’t make decisions for her, that won’t work.”
“Right, you’re even making me do that, if she can’t accept it then and slashes me with two knives, everything’s gone.”
Speaking to this point, Lin Xiuyuan immediately shook his head, “Not worth it, really not worth it. Forget it, should have not let you say it, now my spine feels cold.”
Jung Soo Yeon turned back and glared at Lin Xiuyuan who was still babbling nonstop, “You shut up.”
Then she hugged Krystal and gently comforted her.
Compared to Lin Xiuyuan, she could understand Krystal’s feelings better.
Although the two were indeed real sisters in the parallel dimension, strictly speaking, Jessica was the real older sister who had lived with her for decades.
So Krystal not wanting to see her step by step into the abyss was completely normal.
Thinking of this, Jung Soo Yeon continued to comfort, “Don’t worry, Soo Jung, we’ll take it step by step, we’ll find an opportunity to help her.”
……
……
The next day.
Small tavern.
When Yoona arrived here as agreed, what she saw was Boss Lin with panda eyes opening the door for her, looking full of sleepiness.
So she asked with care, “What’s going on, didn’t sleep last night?”
“Mm, stayed up late last night.”
Lin Xiuyuan yawned while stepping aside to let her in.
And indeed, staying up all night comforting Krystal was exhausting.
Yoona who entered inside looked at him amusedly, “I just heard Taeyeon older sister say that when Jung Soo Yeon older sister went with her to a variety show today, she also looked tired, you two wouldn’t have last night…”
“Played games together.”
“What game.” Yoona asked smilingly.
Lin Xiuyuan closed the door, turned to look at her, a meaningful smile on his lips, not answering directly but throwing a counter-question.
“Do you want to play? If you do, call you next time.”
This was a new trick he learned recently: no self-justification, no explanation, use counter-questions to turn defense into offense, often unexpectedly effective.
Sure enough, when Yoona heard his answer, she immediately shook her head, “Forget it, you guys play.”
Saying that without further ado, she took out a credit card and a paper from her bag, “Right, card swipe, I want to buy another course.”
“Sure.”
Two minutes later, payment notification—ten million Korean Won received.
Lin Xiuyuan took the paper, unfolded it for a casual glance, then folded it back and put it in his pocket.
Seeing this, Yoona asked, “When can this course be recorded?”
“Depends on the situation, I’ll notify you when it’s done.”
A few simple sentences, and the two quickly ended the meeting, then parted ways.
And Lin Xiuyuan who turned back to the 2025 villa, after returning to the master bedroom, collapsed into bed and slept soundly until late morning.
After waking up, he changed into the golf attire gifted by Big Dragon Cub, and headed straight to the appointed golf course.
However, when he arrived at the golf course, he was told by Lee Ji-eun to go to the practice area over there, not the fairway.
Although slightly puzzled, Lin Xiuyuan didn’t ask much and strode over.
Until the moment he stepped into the practice area, under the sunlight, he saw that figure impossible to ignore.
Yoona, dressed in a well-tailored white golf attire, with the crisp and capable clothing style perfectly outlining her slender yet powerful figure.
A white golf cap pressing down her smooth long hair, a few hair strands playfully hanging by her ear, sparse sunlight sprinkling on her, glowing softly, instantly making her the most striking scenery on the green field at that moment.
At the same time, Lee Ji-eun standing beside Yoona noticed his arrival and waved to him, “Xiuyuan, this side.”
Lin Xiuyuan smiled and nodded, then quickened his pace, soon arriving beside the two.
At the same time curiously looking at them, “What’s going on here, I thought it was with Ji-yeon and them.”
“They have a last-minute schedule.”
Lee Ji-eun smiled and explained, “Just in time, Yoona needs to learn golf for work reasons, so I called you to be the ‘negative example’, let her see a beginner’s real level.”
At this time, Yoona beside tilted her head looking at him, her gaze carrying a bit of teasing.
“Xiuyuan, your energy seems off again.”
