2025 years.

Lin Xiuyuan didn't end up paying for lunch at the golf club restaurant; Kim Tae-yeon snatched the card from him halfway through the meal.

She said that after so many times, it was her turn to treat everyone.

In this situation, Lin Xiuyuan still wanted to be a gentleman, but the other party stood up, pressed down on his credit card, and handed over her own.

Faced with this posture of standing up and bending over, Lin Xiuyuan still politely looked up and glanced at it, but a hand suddenly floated over and blocked his view.

Then came Yoona's laughter, "Don't look at what you shouldn't see, Xiuyuan."

Lin Xiuyuan turned his head and met her bright, sunny smile, as if teasing this "little boy" was her greatest pleasure at that moment.

Across from them, Lee Qri's laughter also rang out, and she helped Kim Tae-yeon, who had just sat back down.

Kim Tae-yeon glanced at Lin Xiu-yuan, who was "blindfolded" across from her, and then secretly looked at Lim Yoon-ah, inwardly thinking: Yoon-ah, you're so nosy.

After lunch, the group rested for a while before taking a small electric car to the fairway in the afternoon sun, beginning Yoona and Tae-yeon's first official golf experience.

The fight lasted until around 4 p.m.

As the sun began to set, the leisurely game of ball came to an end under the gentle, warm light of five o'clock.

Although Lee Qri and Daeyongzai knew that Kim Tae-yeon and the other two planned to go to Lin Xiuyuan's bar, they did not go with them and instead went home to rest.

So, around dusk, the two cars parked one after the other in the parking space in front of the pub.

Kim Tae-yeon gripped the steering wheel and immediately turned her head to look at the small storefront on the side of the road. "Yoona, is this the bar?"

"Unnie, there's only one tavern here."

Yoona, sitting in the passenger seat, smiled as she unbuckled her seatbelt, then picked up her bag and got out of the car.

Seeing this, Kim Tae-yeon also turned off the engine, locked the car, and got out.

When she arrived at the door, she saw Lin Yoona standing in front of it, looking down at the door lock for iris and fingerprint verification, while Lin Xiuyuan stood behind her.

Seeing this, Kim Tae-yeon suddenly remembered something and frowned. "Wait a minute, Yoona, didn't you say that this bar isn't for members and we can't open the door ourselves?"

"But I'm already a member."

With a few soft beeps from the door lock, the latch clicked open. Yoona turned and smiled at her, her face beaming with undisguised joy. "Come in, unnie. I'll take care of you this time."

I'm a member now.

These seemingly casual words startled Kim Tae-yeon slightly.

Because she clearly remembered that a few days ago at the golf club's practice area, Lin Yoona had specifically pulled her aside to complain about Lin Xiuyuan, saying that he wouldn't give her a membership.

Lin Xiuyuan withstood the pressure and did not give out any membership slots, even though Kim Tae-yeon, Lee Qri, and others were egging him on.

Only a few days have passed? Only a few days?
Yoona became a member?
Although Kim Tae-yeon didn't say she absolutely needed this spot, the fact that Yoona had become a member right after we rejected her was really driving her crazy.

The beautiful woman's pride suddenly shattered, and she began to look at Lin Xiuyuan with resentment.

Sensing the woman's gaze, Lin Xiuyuan quickly entered the tavern, avoiding her gaze before turning back to Kim Tae-yeon, "Please come in, welcome to the [Relief] Tavern."

"Can this place really relieve worries?"

Kim Tae-yeon, stepping into the bar for the first time, uttered the most crucial sentence, causing Lim Yoona, who was in front of her, to turn around and look at her.

The smile in her eyes gradually faded, as if she was thinking about her captain's regrets. However, she could not reveal the secret of this tavern; whether or not her captain would find out was up to fate.

Thinking of this, Lim Yoona quickly adjusted her emotions and smiled again, "Unnie, would you like something to drink?"

"I don't want you to do it, Xiuyuan."

To everyone's surprise, Kim Tae-yeon completely ignored her greeting and turned back to look at Lin Xiu-yuan.

Faced with this situation, what could Lin Xiuyuan say?

Smiling, she helped Yoona, who was rubbing her face, out from behind the bar, and then went inside to ask, "Taeyeon, what would you like to drink? But don't drink and drive, you'll have to call a designated driver later."

Kim Tae-yeon waved her hand dismissively, "It's okay, let's drink first. I want to drink sparkling wine."

“Okay.” Lin Xiuyuan nodded, then turned his gaze to Lin Yun’er.

"Give me a Long Island Iced Tea."

Lin Xiuyuan, who was about to mix a drink, paused and looked up abruptly. "Ah, Long Island Iced Tea? Are you crazy?"

It's important to know that the Long Island Iced Tea featured in the song is no ordinary "tea."

It is a high-alcohol cocktail made by mixing various spirits such as vodka, tequila, and rum, with an alcohol content of up to 40% or more, and an astonishingly strong aftereffect.

A normal person's alcohol tolerance is so high that one glass is enough to knock them out.

Even Kim Tae-yeon had heard of the tea brand, 'Tea,' and turned to look at Yoona beside her, 'Yoona, what's wrong with you?'

"Having a little drink will help me sleep better tonight," Yoona said matter-of-factly. "Anyway, I don't have work tomorrow, unlike you, unnie, who has to rehearse for your tour."

This reason was so reasonable that even Kim Tae-yeon was speechless for a moment and could only turn to look at Lin Xiuyuan.

"Go ahead and drink," Lin Xiuyuan shrugged and smiled. "If you get drunk, I'll take you home."

Seeing that smile, Lim Yoona also sneered, "Dream on."

In the end, Lin Xiuyuan still made her this Long Island Iced Tea, but he lowered the alcohol content of the base spirit to around 30%, so that it wouldn't be too strong and knock her out after one drink.

Soon, the wine was served.

Kim Tae-yeon, sipping her sparkling wine, smacked her lips a few times and immediately looked at Lin Xiu-yuan with amazement, "No wonder Yoona said your bartending skills are even better than your ball skills. It really tastes good, much better than what you get outside."

"It's a matter of hand steadiness and accuracy," Lin Xiuyuan smiled.

Upon hearing this, Kim Tae-yeon glanced inside and asked, "But I don't see you using a measuring cup or a small scale?"

"My hands and eyes are the measuring cup and the scale," he said earnestly.

This seemingly casual remark about "pretending" actually earned Kim Tae-yeon's praise once again because of the genuinely high-quality ingredients in the drink. "Hmm, if I hadn't drunk this drink, I would have thought you were kidding me, but now it seems your skills are truly impressive."

Teasing? Hand?
Hearing those two words, Yoona, standing next to her, misunderstood and patted Taeyeon on the shoulder.

The latter cried out softly, "It hurts, what are you doing?"

"Don't tease Xiuyuan. Come on, Unnie, let's go check out that little stage."

As soon as she finished speaking, her gaze was drawn to a small stage in the corner with basic musical instruments, and she pulled the somewhat reluctant Kim Tae-yeon over there.

As they walked, he didn't forget to turn back and ask, "Xiuyuan, what made you think of setting up a stage here?"

"I was thinking you might come and sing a few songs to liven things up. Anyway, it doesn't take up much space there, so if we don't need it, we can just leave it as a decoration."

Lin Xiuyuan, who was making himself a honey lemon drink, answered casually without even looking up when he heard this. Lin Yoona stood by the stage, touched the guitar and the drum set next to it, and laughed, "We don't know how to play these instruments."

Just then, Lin Xiuyuan, who had just finished what he was doing, looked up and said, "The most basic rhythms on the drums aren't difficult. I can play the guitar and the keyboard. Do you want to sing?"

"Xiuyuan, you can play guitar and keyboard?"

After listening to the story, Kim Tae-yeon, who was already sitting on the drum stool, sounded surprised, and Lim Yoon-a couldn't help but cast a curious glance at her.

Lin Xiuyuan walked around from behind the bar and smiled. "Isn't it normal for young people to know a little guitar these days? It's quite an achievement to play it for girls or to show off at parties and impress your friends."

"Such a true thought."

Kim Tae-yeon, who thought she was going to hear some romantic love story, burst out laughing when she heard this answer.

"It's the truth."

Yoona, curious about the outcome, asked, "So, Xiuyuan, did you manage to win over the girl with your guitar?"

"No, before I even had a chance to put in any effort, they just delivered themselves to my door."

Lin Xiuyuan laughed, after all, he wasn't bad-looking.

After realizing it wasn't the story she wanted to hear, Lim Yoona immediately lost interest, saying, "That's so boring."

Afterwards, Kim Tae-yeon, who was here for the first time, wandered around the bar a few more times, looking here and there, before finally returning to the bar, picking up her drink, and sitting down on the sofa.

Looking at Lin Xiuyuan, who was already sitting across from him, he said, "Your tavern is indeed quite small. No wonder you have to implement a membership system."

"That's right. If we really opened for business, it would be full before we had more than a few people. Besides, I don't have the energy to serve people. It's enough for me to entertain friends to sit and chat."

Lin Xiuyuan nodded in response while scrolling through the videos.

When Yoona, who was sitting next to him, saw TikTok, she also took out her phone and added Lin Xiuyuan as a friend.

Recently, she has also become addicted to watching videos, which is quite helpful for an actress whose career requires accumulating snippets of life.

Upon seeing this, Kim Tae-yeon quickly took out her phone and added him as a friend.

After adding her, she looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Xiuyuan, how exactly do I become a member of your tavern?"

cough~
Lin Xiuyuan, who had just taken a sip of lemonade, coughed lightly twice. "That's hard to say. Being down on your luck is the prerequisite."

Thinking she had found a breakthrough, Kim Tae-yeon pressed on, "Is Yoona down on her luck?"

Lin Xiuyuan glanced at Lin Yun'er, who immediately turned her face away, giving him an expression that said, "I don't want to get involved."

Left with no other choice, he pondered for a moment and then blurted out, "Her acting career has really fallen apart."

Yoona's face darkened instantly as she turned around. She opened her mouth to retort, but couldn't say anything. She could only take a few deep breaths and sulk.

Upon hearing this, Kim Tae-yeon realized there was no way to break through; this was clearly an impenetrable wall.

Helpless, he could only lower his head and sip his wine, completely resigned. "Fine, I admit that Yoona has indeed fallen on hard times."

"Ah, unnie~"

"Hahaha~"

The three of them sat laughing and joking for about half an hour until around seven o'clock, when night began to fall. Kim Tae-yeon then got up to say goodbye, as she had to work the next day.

However, she didn't call a designated driver; instead, she planned to hail a taxi herself, leaving the car behind. Before leaving, she also put on a mask.

But just as she was about to leave, she noticed that only Lin Xiuyuan was seeing her off, while Lin Yun'er remained seated on the sofa. She asked, puzzled, "Yun'er, aren't you leaving?"

Yoona shook her head, "I'm not leaving. Unnie, you go back first, I'll sit for a while longer."

Kim Taeyeon glanced down at her empty Long Island Iced Tea, her eyes narrowing slightly. Just as she was about to say something, Lin Xiuyuan at the door suddenly spoke up, "A car is here, Taeyeon."

One sentence interrupted her thoughts, and in her haste, she didn't say a word before Lin Xiuyuan shoved her into the back seat of the taxi.

As the car started moving away, Kim Tae-yeon couldn't help but look back, only to be met with a scene that shocked her to her core.

Lin Yoona, who had been nestled on the sofa, had now walked out the door, gently patted Lin Xiuyuan's back, and the two walked side by side into the alley next to them, disappearing from her sight.

what's the situation?
Where are they going? What are they going to do? They just finished drinking.

At this moment, in the quiet alley next to the tavern.

Walking into this alley again, Lim Yoona couldn't help but feel a little emotional, "The feeling I had when I walked this road the night before last is completely different from how I feel now."

"Did you think I brought you here to sell you?" Lin Xiuyuan teased with a smile.

Yoona laughed, "It's even scarier than that. I'm really worried that you'll kidnap me and then kill me."

The two exchanged a glance and laughed at the same time, and soon arrived at the entrance of the villa.

Then, as Lin Xiuyuan familiarly opened the access control system, Lin Yoona couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiuyuan, you said you came from there in 2013, so what's the story behind this villa?"

"It was a freebie. Anyway, the ID, fingerprints, and iris scan all matched mine. Compared to the time portal, this villa isn't that surprising."

Lin Xiuyuan casually offered an explanation and led her into the living room.

Upon re-entering the area, Lin Yoona immediately turned her gaze to the inconspicuous little door. Seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Want to go over? I'll take you."

Although she was somewhat tempted, Yoona shook her head and said, "Forget it, maybe next time. Come on, let me go upstairs and see how many watches you have. Krystal can't possibly block all our gift-giving avenues, can she?"

Lin Xiuyuan didn't say much and led her upstairs.

Throughout the visit, Lin Yoona marveled at the house's luxury and style, while Lin Xiuyuan complained that the original owner was a poor wretch.

Two minutes later, in the walk-in closet of the master bedroom on the third floor.

Standing in front of two display cases, looking at the rows of sunglasses and watches, Lin Yoona looked utterly shocked.

These items aren't outrageously expensive, but each one was carefully selected and marked with its year, so the effort put into them is far beyond what money can buy.

In short: This doesn't require a lot of money, but it does require a lot of... love?

Thinking of this, Yoona suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye.

She took two steps back, her deer-like eyes narrowing slightly as she looked at the broken pieces of premium nylon material in the trash can in the corner.

Besides this, there were a few pieces of torn lace, but not the little trinket she wanted to see.

So his gaze slowly rose and fell on Lin Xiuyuan.

And seeing the other person's awkward expression, he asked meaningfully, "Not wearing a condom?"

　Please give me a monthly ticket. Please give me a monthly ticket.
