Chapter 106: “lin Xiuyuan,” Whom Yoona Uses To Beat Kim Tae Yeon Into Submission
2013.
At nine in the morning, the early morning air was slightly cool, and the street had not fully awakened.
Occasionally passing cleaning vehicles emitted low rumbles that echoed in the empty street.
Today, Jeon Boram had changed into a sporty casual outfit and appeared in front of the small tavern outside Lin Xiuyuan’s apartment building.
Looking at this 【Solve worries】 tavern, she couldn’t help but recall the conversation with Ham Eun-jung and Park Hyomin after returning to the dormitory last night, only then realizing that the “relationship network” of that boy Lin Xiuyuan she saw last night was far from complex.
At the same time, she couldn’t help but feel a bit curious: what exactly was so magical about this tavern?
Just as she was lost in thought, standing at the door in a daze, a cheerful greeting suddenly came to her ear, “Hey, good morning, Boram.”
Hearing the voice, Jeon Boram turned her head to look, only to see Lin Xiuyuan wearing a white golf cap, a light green polo short-sleeve paired with fitted white pants, his whole posture relaxed and natural, giving her a rare sense of youthful aura from a boy.
Seeing something pleasing, her mood also became much happier, and the corners of her mouth slightly lifted as she replied, “Good morning, Xiuyuan.”
When Lin Xiuyuan saw her standing at the tavern doorway, he already knew she must have inquired about him last night, “Ji-yeon told you, right? This is a small tavern I run. Next time you have time, you’re welcome to come sit and chat.”
“Isn’t this place membership-based?” Jeon Boram tilted her head and asked.
“Friends of members can still come in and sit, chat, as long as the tavern is free.”
After hearing this, Jeon Boram first politely responded, then lightly laughed, “But I probably won’t have time recently. After handling the apartment matter this time, I have to fly to the neon side for work tonight.”
“No problem, work comes first. No matter how busy, there will always be free time.”
Lin Xiuyuan stood casually beside her.
“Mm.”
After a few pleasantries, the two headed together to the agent.
The apartment transaction procedures were quickly completed with the agent’s assistance, and Jeon Boram didn’t care at all about whether the payment had arrived.
So after signing the contract, everything went unusually smoothly, and the subsequent steps were also entrusted to the agent to handle.
So when the two finished all this, it was just past 10 o’clock, not even 11 yet.
After leaving the agency company, Lin Xiuyuan looked at her and tentatively said, “Um, Boram, let’s exchange contact info. If something comes up, no need to go through the agent or Ji-yeon to reach you.”
This reason was perfectly reasonable, so Jeon Boram didn’t refuse, “Sure, my phone number is…”
After giving her phone number, as Jeon Boram was about to say goodbye, the boy smiled and added, “How about we add each other as friends too.”
“?”
This time Jeon Boram wanted to find a reason to refuse, but Lin Xiuyuan added, “Ji-yeon said you like playing games, and I do too. In the future, when short on people, you can occasionally be a teammate and do some dungeon quests together.”
Unexpectedly, Park Ji-yeon had revealed even this hobby of hers, Jeon Boram slightly frowned, but the other’s tone was sincere, and the topic hit her interests just right.
So after hesitating for a moment, she silently took out her mobile phone and exchanged KakaoTalk friends with Lin Xiuyuan.
Thinking, fine, add him then, worst case just ignore him.
What if they really need someone.
Just like that, after handling everything, Jeon Boram politely said goodbye to Lin Xiuyuan and left.
Watching that petite back figure, Lin Xiuyuan unconsciously swallowed without realizing it.
Then he turned back to the apartment, crossed the room door, and came to this side of 2025.
……
……
In 2025.
At this time, Krystal on this side had already gone out to work, and Lin Xiuyuan didn’t stay long in the house, simply grabbing this side’s mobile phone before heading out and driving to the golf club.
But even though he didn’t leave too late, by the time he arrived, Big Dragon Cub and Lee Ji-eun had already finished a round and leisurely returned to the practice area side of the club.
After all, from ten in the morning to two in the afternoon was the harshest sunlight and strongest UV time.
For women, sunbathing at such times was not only uncomfortable but also prone to tanning.
For idols like them, they couldn’t torment themselves like that, so they packed up early and returned to the practice area.
After all, today’s main task was to try the newly bought clubs and let someone get a feel for them.
So when Lin Xiuyuan familiarly arrived here, the first thing he saw was Big Dragon Cub swinging, her movements quite sharp.
Walking over while smilingly praising, “This beautiful arc, looks like this set of new clubs suits you well.”
“You’re here, Xiuyuan.”
Hearing the voice, the first to respond to Lin Xiuyuan wasn’t Big Dragon Cub, but Lee Ji-eun sitting beside.
Besides proactively responding, she stood up, smiling and beckoning him over, “Perfect timing, you come try the feel of this set of clubs too.”
Seeing Lee Ji-eun’s beckoning gesture, Lin Xiuyuan quickened his pace, “So eager?”
At this time, Big Dragon Cub stood there laughing, “Because these are clubs Older sister gave you, of course you trying the feel is the most important.”
“Gave me?”
Lin Xiuyuan was immediately stunned.
As he reached the clubs to pick one, hearing this, his movement paused, and he turned to look at Lee Ji-eun.
Lee Ji-eun generously nodded, explaining in a light tone.
“Rare to have a golf partner, can’t have you showing up empty-handed every time, right? You need your own set of clubs. Just happened to see a nice set while shopping a couple days ago, so I bought it for you.”
Lin Xiuyuan moved his lips, originally wanting to decline, but then changed his mind, “How much?”
If too expensive, still politely refuse. After all, his relationship with Lee Ji-eun wasn’t like with Krystal or Im Yoon Ah.
Lee Ji-eun smiled, not planning to hide the price, “Over two million, if transferring, just send to my Kakao.”
“So expensive, forget it, I’ll just take it as a gift, can’t afford it, can’t afford it.”
Lin Xiuyuan’s eyelids twitched at the price.
But his face carried a smile as he gladly accepted the unexpected gift.
Mainly the price was okay, a gift of ten thousand or so meant nothing to little rich girl Lee Ji-eun, she wouldn’t feel a pinch giving it away.
“Talk big, go try the feel quick, if not good we can exchange.”
The humorous words accepted the favor while giving Lee Ji-eun excellent emotional value, so she laughingly scolded him.
A few minutes later.
After trying a few iron clubs, Lin Xiuyuan weighed them in hand and took a few practice swings, very satisfied as he gave Lee Ji-eun a thumbs up, “Good, as expected of Qri, this is Queen-level sharp eyesight, impressive.”
“Even if you praise me like that, that lunch later still has to be on you for both of us.”
Lee Ji-eun laughed even happier, completely relaxed and natural.
“No problem, today’s expenses on me.”
The hamster party’s private fund saved for so long should be spent, can’t just keep putting in without taking out, Lin Xiuyuan was mentally prepared for this.
……
……
Meanwhile, somewhere in Seoul in 2025.
Im Yoon Ah, who had just celebrated her birthday, was now boredly passing the early morning.
After waking up, she had been in a “blank” state, her mind repeatedly replaying that “magical night” the day before yesterday.
Amid surging thoughts, even though a ton of brain cells had burned out, she still couldn’t make sense of it.
Finally thinking of the “full screen” message from Lin Xiaolu yesterday, she gritted her teeth in anger, lowly cursing a few times.
Casually picking up her mobile phone, she checked her slightly rounder cheeks in the mirror surface, puffed her cheeks, then got up and walked into the walk-in closet, changing into a sporty outfit.
Lose weight, exercise, gym, body shaping.
Originally these years she had only managed her figure through diet, but stimulated by Lin Xiaolu, she finally stepped back into the world of exercise.
However, after changing into the sporty clothes and standing in front of the mirror, thinking of going alone to the gym to sweat it out, she instantly deflated and decided to find a “fated person”.
For example, her own fragile paper-thin older sister who would blow over in the wind.
Taking her to the gym would also be a help to the other.
So a few minutes later.
Kim Tae Yeon, who had just finished breakfast, received a call from Im Yoon Ah.
When she learned Yoona’s call was actually inviting her to the gym, she instinctively wailed, “No way, with my figure like this, you still want me to gym? Yoona, are you trying to murder your older sister?”
“Older sister, a healthy body is the foundation of everything.”
Im Yoon Ah persistently continued persuading, even trying to add some “temptation”, “And Older sister, the gym has so many hot guys. The muscular, defined abs kind, really easy on the eyes.”
Facing this temptation, if it were Tiffany instead of Kim Tae Yeon, it might have worked.
But who was Kim Tae Yeon? She didn’t buy it at all. She whined spoiledly back, “No~ I don’t like big muscle hunks, I like slim-muscled ones, humph humph~”
Slim muscle? Young cute boy, huh.
At this thought, Lin Xiuyuan’s figure popped into Im Yoon Ah’s mind, and she blurted out, “Then Older sister, we won’t go to the gym, let’s go play golf with Xiuyuan. Fresh air there, sunlight too, great for health.”
Lin Xiuyuan!
At this name, Kim Tae Yeon immediately pictured the clean and refreshing young boy she saw last time.
Clear gaze, gentle smile, natural unadulterated youthful aura, leagues above those tech boy group members in the industry.
So her eyes lit up instantly, unreservedly giggling, “If you’d said that from the start, I’d have agreed right away. Let’s go, I’m changing now.”
“Ah~ Older sister!”
“Hehe, see you later.”
On the other end of the phone, Im Yoon Ah, who was usually the one used as bait by others, never imagined she’d one day use someone else as bait.
So she couldn’t help but smile lightly, inwardly thinking: Xiuyuan, looks like you’ll have to work hard again.
Then she hung up on Kim Tae Yeon and immediately dialed Lin Xiuyuan.
This call took a while to be answered, then Lin Xiuyuan’s bright laugh came through, “Hello, Yoona.”
As she was about to speak, she suddenly heard two familiar voices from the other end, and curiously asked, “Where are you?”
Upon learning Lin Xiuyuan was at the golf club, with Lee Ji-eun and Big Dragon Cub, her expression was a bit surprised, but any issues would have to wait until meeting.
So she told Lin Xiuyuan that she and Kim Tae Yeon would come over soon, agreed to meet at the practice area, and then hung up.
……
……
In the practice area.
Lin Xiuyuan had just put down his mobile phone when he turned back and saw Big Dragon Cub and Lee Ji-eun both staring at him.
Especially Lee Ji-eun, her gaze teasing, corners of mouth slightly raised, “You and Yoona, your relationship seems to be getting better and better.”
And the young boy’s emotional value let her experience it in the next moment.
“No big deal, no matter how close, not as close as us two. After all, she hasn’t given me a gift yet.”
One sentence made Lee Ji-eun bloom with joy, laughing so hard her chest trembled slightly, almost drawing in Lin Xiuyuan’s gaze.
Luckily Big Dragon Cub stepped forward in time, blocking his view.
Making Lin Xiuyuan relieved yet a bit regretful and sorry.
And Big Dragon Cub, who unintentionally “saved the scene”, also teasingly said, “So Xiuyuan, by your logic, you’re closer to Older sister than to me.”
Lin Xiuyuan climbed right up the pole, not embarrassed at all, “So Ji-yeon, are you giving me a gift?”
The unspoken rule of getting close to whoever gives him a gift was blatantly stated by Lin Xiuyuan.
This made Lee Ji-eun, who had just caught her breath, laugh uncontrollably again, face almost cramping from laughter.
And this gift-giving was also the highest emotional value she’d gotten in a long time.
Only Big Dragon Cub speechlessly rolled her eyes at Lin Xiuyuan, but that gaze inexplicably held a trace of complexity.
A small seed named “caring” quietly planted in her heart.
As for when it would sprout, flower, bear fruit, who knows.
The three thus chatted and played, laughter nonstop, and unknowingly, half an hour passed.
And at this time, Im Yoon Ah, who had hung up earlier, arrived brightly with Kim Tae Yeon.
Big Dragon Cub, spotting them from afar, immediately waved to them, and when Im Yoon Ah approached, she exclaimed in surprise, “Wow, Older sister you bought a set of golf clubs?”
“No, this was given to me during an ad shoot last year.”
Im Yoon Ah gently set down the golf bag, glancing over, “Been gathering dust in the storage room, just remembered and dug it out today.”
At this time on the other side, Lee Ji-eun was warmly chatting with Kim Tae Yeon.
As captains of two major girl groups, they had long known each other, just usually busy with no chance for deep talks.
After casually reuniting last time and adding contacts, occasional chats this period had slowly built some familiarity.
While chatting, Kim Tae Yeon suddenly looked around, puzzled, “Huh, didn’t Yoona say Xiuyuan was here too?”
This sudden mention made Lee Ji-eun and Big Dragon Cub both laugh, Lee Ji-eun explaining first, “He went to the restroom.”
Right after, she slightly lifted her chin, gesturing with her eyes, “See, there he comes.”
Kim Tae Yeon looked along the line of sight, seeing a figure slowly approaching from the corridor end amid slanting light.
Sunlight outlined his upright silhouette, that clean refreshing face seeming to carry its own glow, just as sunny as last meeting.
Kim Tae Yeon, eyes flickering slightly, unconsciously let the corners of her mouth lift a bit.
