Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 51 "She's not dignified, I'll help her be dignified~"

It's still SM Entertainment, still the practice room.

However, this time it wasn't the one Girls' Generation usually uses, but another place that f(x) is currently using.

Having already made a comeback, they have recently started organizing their schedules and preparing to focus on practicing for their new album.

Therefore, I took some time today to do a little rehearsal for the stage I will be performing at those music festivals.

However, having just arrived at the company, they naturally decided to rest and have some breakfast first.

So when Jessica Jung pushed open the door to the practice room, she saw the members of f(x) sitting together, eating breakfast.

When Krystal saw her older sister, she exclaimed in surprise, "Unnie? What brings you here?"

"Find someone."

Upon hearing this, the others all looked at Krystal Jung, and she naturally prepared to get up.

The next second, Jessica Jung called out from the doorway, "It's not Krystal, I'm looking for Sulli."

Krystal Jung, who had just sat up, froze, a look of confusion and surprise on her face, as she slowly looked at Sulli beside her.

The others were also stunned.

Only Shirley pointed blankly at herself, "Unnie, you were looking for me?"

"Ah."

Looking at the girl with short hair, Jessica Jung has had little time and hasn't been able to decide how to meet her since she learned about her situation in 2025.

Their relationship, while not particularly close, was certainly not casual.
While not as close as with people like Yoona, they're not strangers either; they're quite approachable.

Although she didn't understand why Jessica Jung was looking for her, Sulli still got up and left the practice room.

Several pairs of eyes followed her as she left, until the door closed, and then they turned to look at Krystal Jung.

Krystal, who was being stared at, quickly waved her hand and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know what's wrong with you either."

Outside the door, Sulli looked at Jessica Jung with some curiosity. Jessica was looking at her with a familiar gaze, as if she had seen her somewhere before.

What made her even more uneasy was that after the other person called her out, they didn't say a word, just stared at her, which made her scalp tingle.

Thankfully, Jessica Jung spoke up the next second, "Actually, I wanted to talk to you about something with Sulli. Hyoyeon kept asking you to go to parties, right? You don't need to pay attention to her anymore. If she calls you again, just call me."

"Ah~"

This sudden concern left Shirley speechless and somewhat at a loss for words.

Remembering that she had talked about this with Krystal Jung in the dorm a few days ago, she quickly said, "Did Krystal tell you about it, unnie? Actually, it's nothing serious, unnie, you don't need to go to all that trouble..."

Jessica interrupted her, her tone calm yet firm, "First of all, don't worry about who told me. Secondly, I've already taught Hyoyeon a lesson, you should know that."

"Ah~"

Shirley was startled again.

"Because if she still dares to contact you after I teach her a lesson this time, then you should understand what that means. Basically, she really wants you to fill the hole. At that time, don't be so stupid as to go with her. Call me, and I'll help you deal with her."

After hearing what Jessica Jung said, Sulli finally realized what had happened and looked shocked. "Unnie, you really did... you and Hyoyeon unnie... you did that?"

After a pause, Shirley decided not to be too explicit.

After all, they are both unnies and seniors.

On the contrary, Jessica Jung had no worries at all. "Yeah, I gave her a piece of my mind in front of my teammates, and now everyone knows what happened. So you don't have to worry about being retaliated against. If she dares to act undignifiedly, just tell me, and I'll help her maintain her dignity."

Call me.

call me.

"Tell me." As Jessica Jung emphasized this step again and again, Sulli finally believed that the unnie in front of her was not just saying polite words, but really cared about her and was protecting her.

This sudden concern seemed to tear away her facade, instantly bringing tears to the eyes of the usually solitary and invulnerable Shirley.

"Unnie, I..."

People who are used to being strong often break down with just a warm word or a word of concern.

Seeing this, Jessica Jung instinctively reached out and patted her head, just like she would pat Krystal Jung's head.

But in the end, she withdrew her hand, leaving only one sentence, giving Shirley some room to maneuver.

"Don't say thank you, just be safe and sound."

After saying that, she turned to leave, but after taking two steps she turned back. "Never mind, let's add each other as friends. I'll create a group for you later, remember to accept."

"Oh~"

Sulli, still dazed, took out her phone and added Jessica Jung as a friend. After watching Jessica's back as she left, she returned to the practice room still looking confused.

As soon as she entered, she was immediately surrounded by Victoria and others, all asking Jessica Jung why she had called her out.

After regaining her senses, Sulli looked directly at Krystal and asked, "Krystal, did you tell Jessica unnie about Hyoyeon unnie inviting me out for drinks?"

Krystal Jung was taken aback when she realized she had something to do, then shook her head. "No, I haven't been home much lately. I've been staying in the dorm, as you know. I haven't called or sent many texts."

Now the others were even more confused. What kind of riddle were you two talking about?

Thankfully, the two maknaes then took turns telling the story of how Sulli had been "called" to a party for drinks.

Upon hearing this, Victoria immediately frowned and pursed her thin lips, while the other two also looked displeased.

But soon, their expressions changed from serious to incredulous.

Because Sulli told the other members what Jessica had just said to her, everyone was shocked.

After a long while, the group of people finally came to their senses and began to speak.

"Really?"

"Wow, Dafa, did they really have a fight?"

"No way, Girls' Generation, they really fell out because of Sulli?"

Jung Soo-jung finally understood why Sulli had asked her earlier, and stared at her with wide eyes, "Unnie, where did you find out about this, Sulli? I swear, I really didn't tell you. Although I did consider it, I haven't told you yet."

"I don't know either. I still feel like I'm dreaming, it doesn't seem very real."

It wasn't that Sulli didn't believe Krystal Jung, but the fantastical story made her feel unreal for a moment, as if she hadn't woken up yet.

Just then, her phone vibrated.

Remembering what Jessica Jung had just said, she quickly pulled out her phone and opened Kakaotalk.

Looking at the invitation window, I gently clicked the "agree" option.

The next second, a small group chat interface popped up, making it exactly four people including myself.

Upon opening the link, she found two familiar faces, but only one she didn't recognize.

One of them is Jessica Jung, whom I just added.

The other one is Park Ji-yeon, with whom I have maintained contact.

The remaining person's profile picture was of their back, and their account name consisted of only one character: Lin.

The name of this small group is: [Relief Garden].

　Family, can we push it up a bit more? The extra chapters will have to wait until it's officially released, so please be patient, it'll be here soon~
