Chapter 264: 【double Dragon Society】 Jessica’s Blitz On The Villa
Soon, after Krystal took a phone call saying the promotion team had already set off, she said she had to hurry over to meet them.
So she first said a few words to Lin Xiuyuan, then grabbed her jacket and went out the door.
Once her figure disappeared at the villa entrance, the liveliness in the living room was like someone hit the mute button, instantly quieting down a bit, leaving only the low hum of the air conditioner and the sunlight streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling window casting light and shadows.
But Big Dragon Cub clearly had no intention of settling down. She turned her head and grabbed Lin Xiuyuan’s cuff, her eyes bright like a kid who just stole some candy, her tone carrying a bit of impatience, “Come on, come on, Xiuyuan~ Let’s go up to the rooftop to see the swimming pool!”
Lin Xiuyuan raised an eyebrow, leaning back slightly, “It’s just a swimming pool, what’s so great about it? Aren’t you afraid of getting tanned?”
“I am.” Big Dragon Cub’s cheekbones lifted as she grinned, yet she was still excited as she pulled his hand, “But I’m more afraid of missing out on a fun spot.”
As she spoke, she headed toward the stairs, dragging him along as if afraid he’d change his mind.
Lin Xiuyuan was amused by her enthusiasm and could only sigh in compliance, “Alright, alright, I’ll lead the way.”
As the rooftop door was pushed open, the three o’clock afternoon sunlight slanted down perfectly, a mildly warm breeze carrying a fresh mix of leaves and cement hitting them in the face, dissipating the stuffiness from inside.
The recently renovated rooftop was clean and neat, light-colored tiles reflecting soft light, a small patch of grass making the whole space feel fresh and open.
In the center was an L-shaped infinity pool over ten meters long and five meters wide, like a blue gem embedded on the rooftop, lying quietly.
To prevent dust and fallen leaves on regular days, the recent renovation had added an automatic pool cover over the swimming pool.
As Lin Xiuyuan walked to the wall and pressed the control button, with a slight motor sound, the automatic pool cover over the swimming pool slowly retracted, revealing a pool of clear water.
The pool water was only half-filled at the moment, sunlight casting ripples on it, sparkling as if it could reflect figures.
“Wow…”
Big Dragon Cub squatted by the pool edge like a kid seeing a new toy for the first time, peering in, her eyes flashing with genuine excitement, “This is way too fancy, Xiuyuan~ A one-touch opening and closing cover, just like a hotel’s rooftop pool! And so clean, perfect practicality.”
Lin Xiuyuan leaned against the wall, standing lazily to the side, “Nothing special, just something I thought of and added during the renovation, but haven’t really used it much.”
“Such a waste, letting a great spot like this go unused.”
Big Dragon Cub pursed her lips disdainfully, then stood up and looked around.
On one side of the swimming pool was a tall tree canopy, its branches casting a large shadow, breaking the glaring sunlight into countless tiny light spots on the ground.
The other side of the rooftop faced the road outside, with no tall buildings blocking it, and surrounding trees forming a natural barrier, making it extremely private.
Such a secluded environment was like a hidden cool paradise in the hot summer.
“Oh man, this is perfect.”
Big Dragon Cub couldn’t help laughing, walking to Lin Xiuyuan’s side and poking his chest with a finger, “I’ll go back and grab my swimsuit later, we have to enjoy this properly today.”
Lin Xiuyuan looked at her full excitement and shook his head with a smile, “Fine, whatever makes you happy. But we need to fill it up first, or you’ll scrape against the tiles when you get in.”
“No problem, we can chat and enjoy the breeze while it fills.”
As Big Dragon Cub spoke, she suddenly narrowed her eyes, like she thought of a mischievous idea, her smile turning a bit sly, “Right, what do you think about calling that little kid over there too? I suddenly want to see her in a swimsuit.”
Lin Xiuyuan was stunned for a second, seeing the “mischief” glow in her eyes, and couldn’t help laughing, “What are you thinking? We’re all the same person, how much change could there be?”
“Who says? I just want to liven up the pool party atmosphere.”
Big Dragon Cub said righteously, with a “I’m serious” expression, even clasping her hands pretending to be obedient.
Then she raised an eyebrow at Lin Xiuyuan, adding another jab, “Besides, I’m B+ now, almost C, way bigger than that little kid’s B, okay?”
This sudden “size comparison” stunned Lin Xiuyuan for two seconds, then he burst out laughing, “What if Hyo Min hears you? You know she’s obsessed with measurements.”
“Xiuyuan~ You can’t have thoughts like that, unnie isn’t divorced, you’d have to fix that kink of yours.” Big Dragon Cub looked at Lin Xiuyuan with a beaming smile, her eyes flashing with a very strange light, as if afraid this guy would get some wild idea.
But she got a glare back from him, “What nonsense are you imagining? I meant 2013 Hyo Min. And anyway, I never said I’m into married women, I just like good figures, big breasts, long legs, and fair skin.”
Big Dragon Cub burst out laughing, “Oh, so that’s why you and Goo Ri unnie had a free and easy time in the Maldives for over a week.”
“Enough nagging, are we swimming or not.” Lin Xiuyuan waved his hand, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
“Yes, yes, let’s go call her.” Big Dragon Cub’s smile was as bright as sunlight, her eyes curving into lines, as if she’d already rehearsed the upcoming “pool antics” in her mind.
A few minutes later.
Back at the 2013 apartment side, Lin Xiuyuan looked at Big Dragon Cub, “Right, didn’t you say you had something to talk to Ji-yeon about?”
Big Dragon Cub had originally just planned to follow Lin Xiuyuan to chat with Park Ji-yeon about something serious, but after seeing the swimming pool on the rooftop, her whole mindset changed instantly.
So now she sat on the sofa, hugging a pillow, eyes scanning the rarely visited house around her, smiling meaningfully, “Definitely more fun to chat while playing, no need to sit at the dining table all serious, right? Xiuyuan, hurry up and call her.”
Lin Xiuyuan was amused by her, shaking his head as he opened his mobile phone and dialed Park Ji-yeon’s number.
The call connected quickly, and the young girl’s crisp voice came through, “Hello, oppa~”
“Yeah, Ji-yeon, you free right now?” Lin Xiuyuan asked directly.
But as soon as he spoke, Park Ji-yeon on the other end, with a bit of relaxation after finishing work, replied, “Hahaha, oppa~ I just finished. If you’d called earlier, I might not have been free, but now it’s perfect.”
Hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan smiled back, “Perfect then, why don’t you come over to the apartment? Someone specifically asked to see you.”
Before he finished, Big Dragon Cub leaned over from the sofa, almost pressing against the microphone as she shouted, “Hey, little kid, come swimming! Remember to bring a swimsuit. Or don’t, saves you from feeling inferior later.”
The other end went quiet for two seconds, Park Ji-yeon who was about to get in the car froze, like a kitten whose tail was stepped on, narrowing her eyes and slowly looking up, her gaze sweeping over Park Hyomin and Ham Eun-jung ahead.
As if seeking support, or weighing the situation.
The next second, she said nothing and hung up with a snap.
Lin Xiuyuan at the apartment was stunned for a moment, looking at Big Dragon Cub beside him who was laughing gleefully, “You poured on the fuel a bit too hard…”
Big Dragon Cub raised her eyebrow righteously, “I just want to see her blow up, it’s so cute. I used to love making her blow up and messing things up, so letting her blow up a few more times isn’t bad.”
Seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan said nothing, just pinched her increasingly plump little face twice and asked, “Ji-yeon, have you put on a little weight lately?”
“Yeah, feels like happiness fat, but if Xiuyuan can tell, I really need to diet properly.”
Any other woman would hate hearing someone say she’s gained weight.
But Big Dragon Cub had let go of a lot now, especially after learning about Lin Xiuyuan’s situation and that her family’s issues in 2013 were resolved, she had no worries and was much more carefree.
“No need to diet, this is just right. A little meat is good, so cute.” Lin Xiuyuan smiled and pinched a couple more times.
A playful and heated smile flashed on Big Dragon Cub’s face, leaning slightly closer to Lin Xiuyuan, her eyes carrying a bit of teasing, “Right, a little meat makes it bounce with hip waves, doesn’t it, my little man?”
“You…”
Lin Xiuyuan, not expecting Big Dragon Cub to suddenly get dirty-minded, was caught off guard, then chuckled, “Do you have some misunderstanding about yourself… You had it before too.”
The first part stunned Big Dragon Cub for a moment, and after Lin Xiuyuan finished, she jumped into his arms like stimulated, her voice sharp and excited, “Ah~ You’re teasing me, teasing me.”
Her little hands grabbed his clothes, quickly slipping inside, eyes sparkling with laughter, playing like a happy kid.
“Hahaha, okay, stop messing around, I’ll use Krystal’s account here to tell Soo Jung about the course issue.”
Lin Xiuyuan spoke while shaking his head slightly, unable to hide his smile.
With the Busan Film Festival about a month away, Krystal’s work in 2025 was gradually starting up, whether promotion, endorsement ads or photo shoots, all arranged perfectly by her company.
Exposure, promotional content, media arrangements… all had to be juggled.
In this situation, her class time would naturally be squeezed, and adding occasional “field trips” with Lin Xiuyuan, how many classes she could still take next was unknown.
Big Dragon Cub also stood up, stretching lazily, her eyes showing a hint of curiosity, “I’ll come in and check out your bedroom here too.”
On the other side, Park Ji-yeon who left the TV station had gotten into the car.
As the car steadily drove out of the parking lot entrance, afternoon sunlight streamed through the car window onto her profile, casting fine light and shadows.
The girl in the seat pursed her lips slightly, expression seemingly casual, but a sharp glint flashed in her eyes, as if plotting something inwardly.
Suddenly, she turned to Park Hyomin beside her, tone light but with subtle probing, “Unnie, what kind of swimsuit do you think is the sexiest?”
This sudden question stunned Park Hyomin, who tilted her head curiously at her, “Huh? Why ask that?”
Park Ji-yeon didn’t answer directly, just blinked lightly, eyes slightly raised, lips pressed, as if considering some idea.
Though her curiosity was piqued, Park Hyomin didn’t press Ji-yeon.
Instead, she smiled, resting her chin on her hand, thinking seriously.
“Hmm, ‘sexiest’ is too broad. Personally, I like either a very simple black bikini, clean lines, looks elegant; or bold colors, red, bright yellow, complements skin tone, gives a provocative and vibrant feel. Anyway, sexiness isn’t just about the clothes, in my view it’s about the wearer, confident aura is the sexiest.”
Park Ji-yeon listened thoughtfully, fingers tapping her knee twice.
Ham Eun-jung beside her quietly watched the scene, lips curving in a half-smile.
Her gaze was too bright, like a frog that saw through everything.
Soon, as the car entered the residential area, Park Ji-yeon rushed into her room like a whirlwind upon returning to the dormitory, pouncing on the wardrobe, dramatically pulling out clothes one by one.
The wardrobe door banged open and shut, clothes piling into a small mountain on the bed and chair backs.
“Ah, this one’s too plain! This one’s too conservative… This one? No no!”
She muttered while holding them up, like dueling the wardrobe.
At the doorway, Park Hyomin arms crossed leaning on the frame with a watching-the-show smile. Ham Eun-jung half-stuck her head in, eyes scanning the messy room, couldn’t help chuckling.
“Are you going to swim or to a beauty contest?” Park Hyomin teased.
“Unnie you don’t get it…” Park Ji-yeon rummaged while turning back with a pout, “This time I absolutely can’t lose to that old woman again.”
“Old woman? Who?” Park Hyomin asked curiously.
Realizing she’d almost spilled, Park Ji-yeon glanced back hurriedly, then shook her head, as if afraid saying more would reveal a secret, continuing to dig through the wardrobe clothes.
Fingers quickly flipping clothes, movements increasingly urgent, like waging a silent war with the wardrobe.
Seeing this, Park Hyomin quietly looked at Ham Eun-jung, muttering softly, “What’s this, another secret person?”
Ham Eun-jung smiled slightly, eyes flashing wickedly, tone playfully mysterious, “Not that serious, you know her, but can’t say.”
Seeing her like this, Park Hyomin knew pressing wouldn’t yield anything, so she dropped her curiosity and turned back to Park Ji-yeon.
Seeing her growing more frantic, brows furrowed as if every piece in the wardrobe was against her, Park Hyomin kindly suggested, “Ji-yeon, want me to grab some new ones for you? Just bought, never worn.”
As soon as she spoke, Ham Eun-jung beside her laughed shaking her shoulders, teasing, “Hyo Min, are you deliberately provoking Ji-yeon? Can she even fit your size?”
“Hey!”
The room immediately echoed with Park Ji-yeon’s distraught wail, followed by even fiercer rustling as she rummaged, like flipping the whole wardrobe.
Park Hyomin and Ham Eun-jung at the door exchanged a glance, then burst into laughter, echoes bouncing lightly off the walls, instantly relaxing the tense atmosphere.
More than ten minutes later, finally selecting a barely satisfactory swimsuit, Park Ji-yeon collapsed in the chair like after a tough battle, breathing deeply several times before standing.
Then she quickly packed up, slipped on slippers, went out, and got in the car.
As the car slowly left the residential area gate, Park Hyomin and Ham Eun-jung stood side by side at the upstairs window, watching the taillights disappear into the distance.
“You’re really not going?” Park Hyomin withdrew her gaze, turning to Ham Eun-jung.
Ham Eun-jung just gave her a faint look, lips curving meaningfully, saying nothing.
“Again with this…” Park Hyomin frowned slightly, muttering helplessly, “Feels like you’re surveilling me.”
“Not surveillance.” Ham Eun-jung smiled wider, voice gentle, “This is accompanying you.”
“Accompanying…”
Park Hyomin frowned slightly, this tight “accompaniment” made her chest feel constricted, like pulled by an invisible force.
She suddenly recalled Ham Eun-jung’s previous suggestion, thoughts of inquiry and provocation emerging.
So the next second she narrowed her eyes, expression probing with a mix of playfulness.
Looking up at the distant vanishing taillights downstairs, she said softly, “Eun-jung, how about I go join Ji-yeon too? What do you think?”
This sounded like probing, or deliberate provocation, with a hint of hidden excitement.
This made Ham Eun-jung beside her raise an eyebrow, smile deepening, eyes knowing.
“I’d definitely approve.”
“I’d believe that when pigs fly.”
“Why not give it a try.”
“We’ll talk later.”
……
……
Three in the afternoon, sunlight streamed through the apartment’s floor-to-ceiling window, slanting in and stretching warm, slender shadows in the living room.
Soft light fell on the sofa, air filled with lazy summer vibes.
The moment Park Ji-yeon pushed the door open, her steps froze.
Because on the sofa, Lin Xiuyuan and Big Dragon Cub sat side by side, sharing a box of ice cream.
Light and shadow on them like a time-frozen scene.
What tightened her chest more was Big Dragon Cub smiling brightly like spring sun, feeding ice cream to Lin Xiuyuan’s mouth, and he unhesitatingly bit down, even with a bit of milky ice on his lips.
The action natural and casual, yet with subtle intimacy, as if their distance was naturally this close.
This scene stunned Park Ji-yeon for seconds, a sour, complex, indescribable feeling surging in her heart.
Rationally, she knew Big Dragon Cub was her future self, but seeing this, her heart felt gently poked: when could she become like this…
Then her cheeks burned hot, heart racing, breathing uncontrollably quick.
“Hey…”
Thinking this, Park Ji-yeon couldn’t help shouting, voice sharp and urgent with guilty annoyance, “What are you doing!”
Lin Xiuyuan clearly startled, shifting aside like a kid caught misbehaving, nearly dropping the ice cream.
Big Dragon Cub was totally calm, lips hooking as she deliberately fed the ice cream to Lin Xiuyuan again, glancing provocatively at Park Ji-yeon, “Can’t your eyes see? I’m feeding Xiuyuan ice cream.”
Park Ji-yeon’s face instantly flushed red, ears steaming. Shyness, anger, jealousy…
Emotions tangled in her heart, so mad she wanted to rush up and snatch the ice cream from Big Dragon Cub.
But she held back, adjusting her tone forcibly, gritting teeth, “Weren’t we going swimming? What are you doing here?”
Voice laced with unconcealed anger, gaze piercing through them.
Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t help smiling, raising hands in surrender, “Alright, alright, let’s go, let’s go.”
He quickly took the ice cream from Big Dragon Cub, tossed it in the trash, then headed to the time-space door.
Big Dragon Cub looked smug, grabbing sunscreen spray and following lightly, winking back at Park Ji-yeon every few steps with joking provocation, fueling her anger more.
Entering the villa living room, afternoon sunlight hit the yard’s white walls and green plants, air carrying summer heat.
Big Dragon Cub and Park Ji-yeon headed to the bathroom to change.
Lin Xiuyuan shook his head helplessly, smiling at them, “Take your time, no rush, I’ll head upstairs first.”
Then he went to the third floor to change into swimming trunks.
Seeing that dragon rising scene, he silently put on loose beach pants, then slipped on slippers to the rooftop.
As Lin Xiuyuan pressed the button again, the automatic dust cover on the water retracted slowly, revealing the surface now filled to eighty percent from earlier.
Pool water sparkled under sunlight, the ten-meter length reflecting sky blue, exceptionally clear.
Gently rippling water lapped the pool walls, making fine sounds.
The rest area by the swimming pool had wood floor, two wide loungers facing the sun, and Lin Xiuyuan quickly grabbed chilled drinks and towels from the rooftop backup refrigerator, placing them on the coffee table.
Then he leaned back on the lounger, long legs stretched casually, squinting at the sky, quietly waiting for the two downstairs.
Breeze from the tree shade blew away the afternoon stuffiness, curving his lips slightly upward.
He secretly thought the scene when those two came up would be quite a spectacle.
Soon, a second bedroom door on the second floor clicked open first, Big Dragon Cub emerging.
She wore a halterneck swimsuit, back boldly exposing smooth shoulder blades and graceful lower back curve, tattoos faintly visible, adding mystery and allure to her already voluptuous figure.
A few rays of sunlight slipped through curtain gaps, softly glowing on her skin.
Hair casually tied up, she walked confidently to the mirror to check the ties, then grabbed a towel and headed slowly to the rooftop.
“I’m heading up first, little kid, take your time dawdling.”
She glanced back at the other closed door, lips curving playfully, raised an eyebrow, turned and vanished at the stairwell, leaving swaying light and faint fragrance behind.
In the next guest room.
Park Ji-yeon now stood before the mirror, staring at her reflection.
She wore her usual bottom-drawer tie-side swimsuit, thin waist ropes outlining her figure like an exquisite gift, three-dimensional and tight.
Slightly slanted light from outside sprinkled on her snow-white skin, tracing soft curves.
Staring at herself in the mirror, cheeks slightly flushed, ears burning.
“Ah…” She muttered lowly, stomping in place, hands covering her face, wrestling her shyness.
Moments later, she slowly dropped her hands, took deep breaths like psyching herself up, “No, today I must outdo that old woman.”
With that, Park Ji-yeon suppressed her shyness, straightened her back, lifted her chin, grabbed a bath towel, and walked briskly to the stairs.
Each step firm yet laced with girlish tension.
……
In the rooftop rest area, Lin Xiuyuan had been half-reclining on the lounger playing on his phone.
Hearing footsteps on the stairs, he looked up, nearly sitting straight.
Big Dragon Cub’s straightforward swimsuit gleamed in sunlight, long legs and snow-white skin dazzlingly mature and vibrant.
Noticing his gaze, she smiled slightly at him, but didn’t stop, elegantly heading to the pool edge.
She lightly tiptoed, testing the water, cool splashes on her calves bringing pleasant chill.
Only then did Big Dragon Cub smile satisfactorily, walking to Lin Xiuyuan, “Xiuyuan, this spot is really nice, if you’d told me earlier, I wouldn’t have been bored lately with nowhere to play.”
“Just a swimming pool, it’s not like you can’t find one.” Lin Xiuyuan replied.
Big Dragon Cub shook her head, eyes on him, lips smiling, “Different, Goo Ri unnie’s half-mountain villa is too far, other pools in Seoul are either not private or too small, not like yours, big and long, hits right in my heart.”
Saying this, Big Dragon Cub gazed at Lin Xiuyuan, smile widening.
Lin Xiuyuan scratched his hair, “You’d better be talking about the pool.”
“What else?” Big Dragon Cub laughed.
“You play first, still waiting for Little Ji-yeon…”
Lin Xiuyuan chuckled, but as he spoke, footsteps came from the stairwell again.
He instinctively looked up, sitting straight the next second.
Afternoon sunlight from above bathed Park Ji-yeon in gold.
Lips bitten, one hand tugging her waist tie, steps hesitant yet forcing straight back.
Thin shoulder straps traced graceful collarbone and neckline, rising slightly with breaths.
“Wow…”
Big Dragon Cub looking over whistled first, breaking the silence, eyes surprised and appreciative, “Didn’t expect it, little kid, you’re braver than I thought.”
Her eyes showed surprise, clearly not expecting her younger self so bold to come out like this.
“Now see who’s the little kid.”
Face flushed red, but Park Ji-yeon glared at Big Dragon Cub, ears red through yet still retorting strongly, “Yo, thought you’d wear something sexy, how conservative, no figure to pull it off?”
Big Dragon Cub seemed unprepared for the counterattack, chuckled lightly, eyes teasing, “Without padding, won’t you be A-cup, little kid?”
Park Ji-yeon glanced down at her chest, then turned to Lin Xiuyuan.
Lin Xiuyuan nearly laughed out, quickly set phone aside, fake coughed to cover, not daring extra word.
Seeing this, Park Ji-yeon huffed lightly, tossed bathrobe by door, walked briskly to pool, steps slightly hurried.
Seemingly natural, but fingertips trembled slightly, heartbeat accelerating per step.
Walking to pool, her gaze involuntarily flicked to Lin Xiuyuan.
He sat on opposite lounger in swim trunks and loose beach pants, casually leaning, shoulder and back lines sharp in afternoon sun.
That instant, she nearly froze.
Someone she knew long, but first time seeing his body so uncovered, Park Ji-yeon realized Lin Xiuyuan’s figure was better than imagined.
Broad shoulders, abdominal muscles faintly visible, like he could envelop someone with a reach.
Cheeks suddenly burning, she quickly looked away, landing on Big Dragon Cub beside.
With swimsuit on, tattoos on back, arms, belly, back nearly fully exposed, dark ink contrasting starkly on fair skin.
Patterns not first time hearing, seen in news before, but first close-up.
Not mere rebellion or decor, more like marks from experiences, drawing extra glances.
So she didn’t attack Big Dragon Cub with them, instead giving her a deep look.
“What you staring at? In or out?”
Big Dragon Cub probably didn’t expect so many thoughts from Park Ji-yeon, raised eyebrow, smiling mischievously, like forcing her onto the stage.
Park Ji-yeon took deep breath, inwardly telling herself:
Hurry in, quick, water blocks view, so oppa won’t see how nervous I am.
“Hmph, stare and stare, in and in!”
Words out, she tossed towel aside, gritted teeth, leaped…
“Splash…”
Water splashed, chill enveloping her body instantly.
Underwater eyes open, Park Ji-yeon heard only water and heartbeat, finally feeling the watched heat dissipate somewhat.
Surfacing, she flung hair, flashing smug smile at shore’s Big Dragon Cub, “What you waiting for? Get in!”
Big Dragon Cub laughed, sat pool edge, swung legs in splashing water, “Alright, little kid, got some spirit today.”
Lin Xiuyuan watched from side, leisurely on lounger, “You two play first, waiting for takeout, ordered food, gotta go down later, wet body’s uncomfortable.”
“What’s that matter, Xiuyuan~ Get in quick.”
Big Dragon Cub splashed water, nearly hitting Lin Xiuyuan.
Instead Park Ji-yeon spoke for him, “Oppa says wait then wait, why rush, is that online saying true, thirty like wolf forty like tiger, can’t wait minutes?”
This stunned splashing Big Dragon Cub, she whipped around to Park Ji-yeon behind.
Not expecting younger self to retort so boldly.
So after hearing, Big Dragon Cub’s eyes turned, pouncing fox-like to teach her a lesson.
First splashing waves, hands slapping Park Ji-yeon’s shoulders and back, cool water hitting her waist.
Park Ji-yeon startled by splashes, gritted teeth retaliated, they splashed each other, water exploding into golden shards in sun, laughter and merriment echoing on rooftop.
But Big Dragon Cub finding water play unsatisfying, started “physical attacks”.
First tickling Park Ji-yeon’s underarms, drawing laughs and protests, then tugging her waist tie mischievously.
Park Ji-yeon not yielding, grabbed Big Dragon Cub’s arm back, twisting in water, waves pushing out and back.
Previous merriment turned into slightly over-the-top teasing.
So in later playing, Big Dragon Cub suddenly yanked hard on the neck tie.
The neck halter tie suddenly loosened, swimsuit losing support.
Sudden imbalance and chill paled Park Ji-yeon’s face, instinctively hands to chest, shrinking in water with a shriek, panicked like confidence drained.
Splashes around her, droplets refracting golden shards in sun, making her flushed cheeks more obvious.
Shore-watching Lin Xiuyuan saw wrong, stood immediately.
Finding scene too awkward, he quickly excused for takeout, back-turned striding away, voice with unnatural laugh, “Uh, going down for takeout, you two play, I’ll come up later…”
He hurried downstairs, leaving space for Park Ji-yeon to fix.
Big Dragon Cub in water totally untense, couldn’t hide smug smile, “Too bad, would be better on shore.”
Park Ji-yeon in water clumsily retied frantically, face red to ears.
Only after securing fully did she glare at Big Dragon Cub, eyes annoyed yet inexplicably shy, breaths uneven, “Hey, old woman, you crazy?”
“Just playing around, why so mad.” Big Dragon Cub chuckled swimming to edge, casually draping on pool side, posture relaxed.
Park Ji-yeon muttered inwardly, still glaring, “This isn’t playing…”
“If not playing, what is, Xiuyuan’s seen this body on me countless times, what’s the difference.”
Big Dragon Cub winked playfully, finding drape uncomfortable, pushed up to sit on edge.
These words brought back ignored images to Park Ji-yeon’s mind, Lin Xiuyuan and Big Dragon Cub in bed.
Face feigning calm but clearly annoyed, “It’s different, you’re you, I’m me…”
“Don’t kid yourself, it’s the same in reality.” Big Dragon Cub smiled deeper, arm extended invitingly, “Want to come feel?”
Before words settled, she untied back strings, sexy upper body exposed to Park Ji-yeon.
Soft sunlight traced her shoulder-neck lines and back curves, skin glistening with water light, tattoos shimmering mysteriously in sun.
Then Big Dragon Cub leaned slightly forward, eyes locked on cowering Park Ji-yeon in pool, voice low soft yet teasing.
“Kid, think about it, really think, can you right now stay away from Xiuyuan?”
Park Ji-yeon’s hands unconsciously gripped water surface, heart pounding, wanting retreat yet drawn motionless by scene.
Sunlight on splashing droplets, casting tense ambiguous figures of two, whole pool instantly shrouded in hot dangerous aura.
Downstairs.
Lin Xiuyuan originally just wanted excuse for space, but takeout arrived right on time at door.
So after hanging up on delivery person, he quick-stepped to yard outside to grab food.
But opening door, instead of delivery person, it was Jessica, who he’d small-argued with and Krystal two days ago.
She wore simple white camisole, high-waist jeans below, simple white sneakers.
Wind lightly lifting stray long locks, wavy ends on slightly tanned wheat shoulders, casual with lazy vibe.
Black small bag slung on shoulder, expression curious and exploratory.
Lin Xiuyuan instinctively narrowed eyes, nearly frozen, Jessica’s appearance totally unexpected.
“This… how are you here?” His voice carried clear surprise, like struck by lightning.
Jessica with big food bag raised brows lightly, smiling, “Just passing by, saw delivery guy about to bring your food, thought me delivering would be a big surprise.”
Gazing at her, Lin Xiuyuan inwardly shocked…
But not surprise, fright.
Upstairs now, two “Ji-yeons” wildly playing in water.
If Jessica saw, he might really follow Krystal’s plan, tie this woman to 2013 side.
Thinking this, Lin Xiuyuan took the takeout bag, “Thanks, quite the surprise.”
But Jessica pulled back hand, looking at him, “What’s up, not inviting me in?”
“Not convenient.” Lin Xiuyuan said straightforwardly.
Jessica smiled at words, “What, some unspeakable secret?”
