77. Jessica Jung's thoughts
Yoona stood in a corner of the set, her fingertips still warm from the phone call that had just ended.
On the other end of the phone, Director Lee Soo-man's voice still echoed in her ears, gentle yet carrying an undeniable reminder.
"Yoona, there's a bit of a stir in the media right now, but don't worry, SM and CJ's PR teams will handle it. Also, how did you meet Kyung Sung-ssi?"
She exhaled softly, her gaze falling on the photo on her phone of him posing with his support truck.
The man stood in front of the car, smiling at the camera, dressed in a film crew costume, looking just like a king. But they had no idea how much trouble their every move had caused.
"It's just sending a support vehicle to a junior who likes me..." Lim Yoona muttered to herself, feeling a little amused and exasperated.
She did anticipate some discussion, given that both she and Jing Cheng were highly popular celebrities. However, she had only considered a support truck a simple gesture of support. She never imagined it would not only ignite public opinion but also act like a boulder thrown into a lake, stirring up unforeseen undercurrents.
The hashtag #LimYoonaLeeKyungSungSupportVehicle# is trending on social media. Clicking on it reveals a flood of analytical posts.
Most fans were rational, knowing that even if they were dating, they wouldn't be so high-profile, especially since SM and CJ quickly released a joint statement clarifying that it was just normal encouragement from a senior to a junior. But they couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the gossip-loving public.
Girls with all sorts of microscopes started analyzing the details on the support truck and the two's past interactions, but where did these interactions come from?
Besides Nanshan, the coffee shop, and that classroom.
Im Yoona shook her head, and unconsciously opened her chat window with Lee Seung-gi. The conversation was still stuck on that day. She hadn't deleted him, which could be considered as preserving the last bit of dignity between them as fellow entertainers.
Open the chat group of the Girls' Generation members on your phone. As Girls' Generation reached their peak and gradually declined, everyone started planning for their future and preparing for career transitions. However, the company's film and television resources were limited.
There are often only a few messages every few days, but now it's like a pot has exploded, with unread messages popping up like crazy.
Thinking it must also be about Lee Kyung-sung, Lim Yoon-a clicked on it and began to read each message carefully.
[Seohyun]: Wow, Yoona unnie! That support truck is so pretty! Kyungsung-ssi looks really happy!
[Choi Sooyoung]: I'll just say it directly, Yoona, you definitely have feelings for him, otherwise why would you be so open about it, hahaha!
[Kwon Yuri]: I'm so envious! When will I ever receive such support from such a handsome junior...?
Yoona smiled slightly as she watched these familiar jokes. Her teammates' reactions were predictable; while some were teasing, there was more of a sense of blessing and envy.
But as she scrolled down, her smile gradually froze.
[Kim Hyoyeon]: Yoona, you sent such a generous support truck! Haha! But seriously, just sending a truck isn't enough. When are you free to invite Kyungsung out so everyone can meet him? We're all so curious, what kind of junior is he that Yoona is so interested in?
【Sunny】: Exactly! Yoona, you've really grabbed some attention this time. But Hyoyeon's right, it's no fun just us speculating. Kyungsung's in high demand right now, you'd better keep a close eye on him! Invite him out for a meal, let us help you assess him and see if he's good enough for your future brother-in-law~
Im Yoona frowned. So focused on letting Lee Kyung-sung know she still cared about him, she forgot—forgot there was a mole within her team.
[Kim Tae-yeon]: Yoona, Hyoyeon is absolutely right. I'm also very curious, what's so special about him that makes us, the most famous actress ever, send such a generous support truck to a male actor? We should really ask him out sometime and let him open our eyes.
Lin Yoona pursed her lips, unmoved in the slightest. They were all old teammates she had been with day and night, and she knew them all very well. If they were to take advantage of Li Jingcheng, wouldn't she be doing all the work for someone else?
She typed, a hint of distress in her voice. Could they possibly meet again? He'd gone to acting class too. Besides, Jing Chengxi didn't have time for a get-together; he's busier than me now. I can only introduce you two next time. Sigh. *crying*
cut,
Looking at the message from Yoona on her phone, Hyoyeon pouted. Of course, she knew Yoona wouldn't introduce them, but this time it wasn't just one person.
[Jessica]: Yoona, ignore those sour comments in the group chat. They're just jealous that you dare to do things they wouldn't; they're all bad women.
A private message suddenly popped up, and she instinctively clicked on it to take a look.
"Jessica unnie is still the best..." Lim Yoona murmured softly, her heart melting.
However, she thinks Taeyeon is still pretty good.
Moreover… looking at the chat window with Lee Kyung-sung, Lim Yoon-a was somewhat confused.
Why hasn't this guy sent me a message yet?
Am I still his goddess?
With no schedules for the past few days, Jessica Jung was enjoying a rare moment of complete leisure. Like a lazy cat, she nestled deep into the soft sofa in the living room, wearing a loose light gray cotton T-shirt and white shorts, her bare feet casually propped up on the coffee table.
Without the embellishment of stage makeup, her bare face was stunningly beautiful, her skin glowing with a healthy, porcelain-white radiance. Her slightly damp long hair was casually tied back with a hair tie, a few stray strands falling beside her cheeks, giving her a more relaxed and casual look, rather than her usual aloofness.
Beside her, Krystal Jung was also dressed casually at home, wearing a loose white short-sleeved shirt and black shorts, her bare feet on the soft carpet. Her gaze was fixed on the television screen in front of her, which was playing entertainment news.
It's not usually big news for celebrities to send each other support trucks, but this story about Yoona sending a coffee truck was specially broadcast, and she watched it very carefully.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed my sister's fingers tapping incessantly on her phone screen. A thought flashed through my mind, and I guessed that she was chatting with her old friends from Girls' Generation.
Driven by curiosity, Krystal put down the remote control, leaned forward slightly, and peered over to see the screen content.
Jessica Jung sensed her sister's approach, but she just lazily lifted her eyelids, making no attempt to avoid her or raise her hand to cover herself, letting her get closer.
The two sisters stood side by side, their profiles strikingly similar, with the same high nose bridge, sharp jawline, and even the way they slightly pursed their lips when focused.
Jessica Jung's eyes held a languid detachment, while Krystal Jung's face displayed a lively curiosity. She glanced at the content on the screen and murmured softly, "As expected, Yoona unnie really cares a lot about Lee Kyung-sung."
"It's just a support truck." Jessica Jung said coldly, her slender fingers unconsciously tracing the edge of her phone screen. Her brows furrowed slightly, revealing a rare hint of irritation that, despite her best efforts to conceal it, was still noticed by her sister who knew her best.
Krystal felt she didn't need to provoke Jessica, so she just pursed her lips and thought to herself that she would have to keep her own relationships well hidden so that Jessica wouldn't find out.
Krystal observed her sister's expression, blinked her innocent eyes, and tentatively asked, "Unnie, aren't you curious? Is that Lee Kyung-sung really as the rumors say...?"
Jessica Jung seemed to have heard a joke; her delicate jawline tightened slightly, a faint, cold smile curved her lips, and her eyes revealed a hint of disdain.
"Curious? I have no interest in joining that fun." She tossed her phone onto the sofa, crossed her arms, and exuded an aloofness that kept strangers at bay. "Those stupid women are making a scene in the group chat, why would Yoona introduce Lee Kyung-sung to them? Would she just create more trouble for herself?"
She paused, her gaze deepening, as if she had already foreseen the outcome. "Now all I need to do is comfort Yoona. Later, when she feels wronged, the first person she'll think of to share her feelings with will definitely be me."
"And recently, whenever Yoona doesn't have any schedules, I..."
Jessica Jung didn't continue speaking, but just glanced meaningfully out the window.
Although she hadn't finished speaking, Krystal Jung had already fully understood what she meant.
Once Yoona's schedule is over, Jessica Jung will appear under the guise of visiting her, offering her timely companionship and comfort...
In comparison, what is that so-called Li Jingcheng?
Krystal Jung looked at her sister's aloof profile, which seemed to say "everything is under control," and her heart skipped a beat.
"What a ruthless scheme..." she thought to herself, which only strengthened her resolve to keep her future relationships completely secret and never give this older sister any chance to interfere.
