Peninsula: The Best Actor Starts from an Idol Battleground

Chapter 58 Sun-kyu: I'm such a smart person~

Unexpectedly, Li Zhixing's sister called to ask him to meet her.

Taeyeon paused for a moment, then replied, "Oh, okay, I'm fine right now."

Just as she was about to suggest a suitable meeting place, she noticed that Seohyun had somehow come over, gently tugged at her sleeve, and pointed to the ground.

Taeyeon glanced at her with some surprise, but when she met Seohyun's serious gaze, she changed her mind and said, "Then IUxi, just come to our dorm. I'll send you the address."

After hanging up the phone, Taeyeon looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Seohyun, you seem to be quite interested in Zhixing oppa's affairs?"

Seohyun nodded, then frowned slightly: "Taeyeon unnie, what happened during the recording?"

Lee Soon-kyu put down her fried chicken and looked over.

Taeyeon hesitated for a moment, the image of Lee Ji-hyeong collapsing in pain flashing through her mind, and said softly, "Ji-hyeong oppa had a physical problem while recording the song just now."

Sunny immediately sat up straight, and Seohyun quickly asked, "What happened?"

Taeyeon shook her head and sighed, "Let's talk about the specifics when IU gets here. After all, it's Zhixing oppa's privacy."

Xu Xian thought for a moment, then turned around, went back to her bedroom, picked up her phone, and made a call.

The call connected quickly, and Seohyun said urgently, "Yoona unnie, where are you?"

The person on the other end paused for a moment, then replied, "Didn't you say you were going home tonight? I just got home, what's up, Xiaoxian?"

"Unnie, IUxi will be coming to the dorm later, could you come back?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a complicated tone: "Did you invite her over, Xiaoxian...?"

Seohyun interrupted her directly: "Yoona unnie, when we were recording a song for Taeyeon unnie today, it seemed like something was wrong with her health."

"What? How is he now?" Yoona on the other end of the line immediately tensed up.

"It's not clear yet. We'll know when IUxi gets here." Seohyun took a deep breath, her tone resolute. "Unnie, I want to take this opportunity to get to the bottom of things too."

"I'm not going to listen to you this time. Whether you come or not is up to you."

After saying that, she unusually hung up the phone.

Taeyeon, completely bewildered, couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? Seohyun, do you and Yoona know Zhixing oppa?"

Although Sun-kyu had a premonition, she still stared intently at Seo-hyun, waiting for her answer.

Seohyun nodded and said softly, "I've known you since I was little. I've known you since Yoona and I were six or seven years old."

"What?!" Taeyeon and Sunny exclaimed at the same time.

Sun-kyu quickly pressed, "Then why does it seem like Zhi-xing oppa doesn't recognize you at all? Were you close before? Or have you not seen each other for a long time?"

Seohyun frowned, looking troubled. "It's true that he's been gone for a few years, but it's not like he doesn't recognize us at all... especially since he used to be so close to Yoona unnie."

These are precisely the things she has never understood the most.

Taeyeon was full of questions and wanted to ask more, but Sunkyu stopped her.

Seeing that Seohyun was deep in thought, Sunkyu shook her head at Taeyeon and said softly, "Let's wait for Ji-eun to come over."

The dormitory fell completely silent.

Lee Soon-kyu quietly pushed the fried chicken box aside.

Yoona, Seohyun, and Jessica...

These names flashed through her mind. Perhaps when Ji-eun arrived, she would be able to completely connect the complicated relationship between them and Ji-haeng oppa.

After a while, there was a soft knock on the door; it was Lee Ji-eun.

Taeyeon went over and welcomed her in.

As soon as Lee Ji-eun entered the room, she was stared at by the three senior figures in the living room, and the invisible pressure made her feel a little uneasy.

She seemed a little flustered, but still politely bowed and greeted them before looking at Taeyeon: "Senior, can we talk alone?"

Just as Taeyeon was about to nod, Seohyun walked directly up to IU and said seriously, "IUxi, let's talk here. I want to know what happened to you today."

Lee Ji-eun was stunned for a moment.

Looking at this senior who claimed to have known Oppa since childhood, although she also planned to find out about the relationship between the other party and Oppa today, she obviously didn't want too many people to know about Oppa's headache.

So she shook her head, about to politely decline, when another hurried female voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Yes, I'd like to know too."

The group turned around and saw that Yoona had been standing in the entrance hall for some time.

Her chest heaved, she was slightly out of breath, and the stray hairs on her forehead were a little messy, clearly she had come in a hurry.

Without even changing her shoes, she walked straight up to Lee Ji-eun, staring intently at her: "I also want to know, what exactly happened to Lee Ji-hsing? Why is he pretending not to know me? And how did we inexplicably become siblings!"

Lee Ji-eun was completely stunned.

She stared at Yoona in shock: "You...you and Oppa are...?"

Seeing the wariness and confusion in Lee Ji-eun's eyes, Seohyun stepped forward and explained, "Yoona unnie is the person closest to Ji-haeng sunbaenim besides Aunt Hye-shin. They grew up together since they were little."

"Huixin...Auntie?"

Lee Ji-eun's heart skipped a beat.

She came to Girls' Generation's dorm today, originally just to ask Taeyeon what Oppa had gone through that day and why he suddenly had a headache again.

Unexpectedly, besides Seohyun, another person has emerged who claims to have known oppa since childhood, and it turns out to be Im Yoona.

No wonder when the scandal broke out that day, Yoona went straight to him and said those strange things.

Seeing Lee Ji-eun remain silent and struggle with her expression, Seohyun spoke again, her tone pleading: "IUxi, don't worry, Yoona unnie and I used to be very close to our senior. You can tell us about him."

"We just want to know what happened in the years since our senior left? And why is he pretending not to know us now? What are his concerns?"

Lee Ji-eun's mind was in a mess, and she didn't know how to start the conversation.

She didn't even know whether she should believe Xu Xian's words. Four probing and anxious gazes fell on her at the same time, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

A brief silence fell over the living room.

Taeyeon and Sunny were sitting on the sofa, listening intently to the entanglement of these people, but Sunny's gaze inadvertently swept over the paused TV screen next to them.

On the screen, the amnesiac Gu Jun-pyo looks at the anxious Geum Jan-di with a look of unfamiliarity in his eyes. The subtitle below is right on the line: "Who are you? I don't know you."

Sun-kyu paused for a moment.

The way Gu Jun-pyo looked at a stranger on TV suddenly brought back a scene from the hospital that day: Lee Ji-hyung looked at Yoon-ah, who was full of anger, with the same unfamiliar gaze, and the two of them were not on the same wavelength at all.

Then she recalled what Lee Ji-haeng said at the preview screening of "Haeundae": "I've already forgotten about what happened before."

These fragments instantly connected, and an absurd thought suddenly popped into her head. She blurted out instinctively, "So, Zhixing oppa... has amnesia?"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes in the room instantly turned to her.

These gazes varied: some were absurd, some speechless, and some shocked.

Taeyeon snapped out of her daze, patted her bottom somewhat speechlessly, and scolded her in a low voice, "Hey, Lee Soon-kyu, how could you possibly have amnesia? Go back to your room and watch your melodramatic soap opera."

Sun-kyu then realized that his guess was indeed outrageous.

Feeling a little embarrassed, she scrambled up from the sofa and waved awkwardly, "Um, you guys chat, I'm going back to my bedroom."

Just as she turned to leave, she heard Lee Ji-eun sigh behind her.

"That's right, Oppa really has amnesia."

"What???"
