2025 years.

Around 5 p.m., the sun was setting in the west.

Lin Xiuyuan sat in the practice area for the entire afternoon. Fortunately, he could watch videos on his phone and occasionally play some basketball, so he wasn't too bored.

The game, which lasted for most of the day, finally came to an end when the team captain, Kim Tae-yeon, who was nicknamed "paper doll," said she was out of energy.

"So, is that the end of today?"

Lee Qri, having picked up the scout, lightly touched the non-existent sweat on her forehead, looked at Kim Tae-yeon, and smiled at Im Yoon-ah.

She didn't look at Lin Xiuyuan because she wanted to ask him out again. "By the way, Xiuyuan, are you free tomorrow? Shall we go down the fairway and play?"

Lin Xiuyuan, who was scrolling through videos, heard Lee Juri call his name and looked up. "Ah, it's hard to say about tomorrow. It depends on Yoona's plans."

Standing next to Kim Tae-yeon, Lim Yoon-a was a little confused. "Huh, what does this have to do with me?"

"Didn't we change the stakes before? That 'acting skills' thing. I'll send you the document when I get back. If you record the video tonight, I'll give it to my friend tomorrow."

Seeing that Lin Yoona didn't understand, Lin Xiuyuan reminded her.

Hearing this, Lim Yoona raised her eyebrows and smiled with a hint of amusement, "Then I'll not record it for now. I'll give it to you after you've finished playing ball with Qri unnie."

As soon as she said that, Kim Tae-yeon and Lee Qri couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lin Xiuyuan shrugged and turned to look at Li Juli, "Qri, look, now I have some free time."

Then Lee Juri laughed even more heartily.

After agreeing on a time for tomorrow, everyone went their separate ways. There were no further plans for dinner, no last-minute additions to the program, and even Yoona and Taeyeon simply waved goodbye.

Lin Xiuyuan was slightly surprised, but he didn't think much of it. He drove his Mercedes back to the villa and prepared to catch up on some sleep.

When he woke up, it was already past nine o'clock at night.

I ordered takeout on my phone, ate while watching short videos, and then played games for a while.

Of course, he also didn't forget to scan the questions Lin Xiaolu gave him into text and send them to Lin Dajun.

He learned his lesson and didn't play games all night this time. He washed up and went to bed around midnight.

The next day, after waking up and having a simple breakfast, he headed straight for the golf club again. Having done this several times, he was now quite familiar with the route.

However, Lin Xiuyuan didn't know whether he forgot or what.

Yesterday, he only showed up briefly in the morning (in 2013) and didn't go to check in again in the evening.

As a result, Lin Xiaolu from that other timeline called his phone repeatedly last night but no one answered, and this morning she searched for him frantically all over the place.

……

……

2013 years.

"Bang~"

The practice room door was suddenly pushed open.

Sulli, who was rehearsing with her teammates, was startled and then stared in astonishment at Yoona standing at the door, opening her mouth to say, "Yoona unnie~"

"Shirley, do you have Lin Xiuyuan's phone number?"

After seeing Sulli nod, Lim Yoona, who had just arrived at the company, didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "Try calling him and see if you can get through, or do you have any other ways to contact him?"

Sensing that Yoona was in a hurry, Sulli quickly ran to the seat and, while calling Lin Xiuyuan, cautiously asked, "Unnie, what do you want with oppa?"

Something's happened, something important.

As Yoona calmly uttered those words, she was completely unaware that Victoria, Krystal, and the others next door were all looking in their direction.

Shirley made two phone calls but no one answered, so she tried sending messages in a small group chat, but there was still no response.

Standing to the side, Yoona had been staring at her phone the whole time. Seeing this, she took a few deep breaths before smiling and looking at Sulli.

“It’s alright, Shirley, it’s fine if we can’t find him. But could you please keep an eye on his situation? If he replies to you, let me know as soon as possible, or have him call me.”

"Okay, unnie."

"I'll be going now, thank you for your help, Sherry."

"it does not matter."

With a slight smile, Lim Yoona turned to look at the others in the practice room, offering an apologetic smile, "Sorry to bother you."

Then she turned and left gracefully, leaving Sherry surrounded by several members who began bombarding her with gossip.

the other side.

After leaving f(x)'s practice room, Yoona quickly walked into her group's practice room.

She arrived early today, so when she entered the practice room, only Seohyun and Yuri were there.

Good morning, Yoona. Why are you here so early today?

Good morning, unnie.

The two people inside were also somewhat surprised when they saw Im Yoon-ah.

Because in the past, although Lim Yoona was not at the bottom, she would not have come so early.

After greeting them, Yoona sat down to the side, staring blankly at her phone, seemingly lost in thought.

Yuri and Seohyun exchanged a glance, and then, being quite sensible, didn't disturb each other, instead stretching and warming up.

Later, the other members arrived one by one, and Yoona responded calmly to each of them.

Only when Jessica Jung arrived did she rush to her side, "Unnie~"

"Wow~" Caught off guard by being pounced on, Jessica almost blurted out the swear word she had learned from Lin Xiuyuan, but thankfully she stopped herself at the last moment. "What are you doing, Yoona? You scared me to death. I thought something had happened."

"Unnie, can you find that guy Lin Xiuyuan?"

Just like when she approached Sulli, Yoona immediately asked about Lin Xiuyuan, which surprised Jessica Jung.

While curious, I was also a little confused. "Why do you want to see him? And don't you have his phone number?"

The conversation between the two quickly attracted everyone's attention, and everyone's ears perked up. Even Kim Hyoyeon, who had previously clashed with Jessica Jung, couldn't help but eavesdrop.

Faced with Jessica Jung's question, Yoona didn't hide anything and told the truth directly, "Unnie, I've been calling him since last night, and I've been calling him since I got up this morning. I've almost blown up my phone, but no one answers."

Upon hearing this, even Jessica Jung's eyes widened in surprise, and the other members gasped in shock.

Everyone was wondering who this 'Lin Xiuyuan' was, that their Yoona would take the initiative to find him.

Even more outrageous, he doesn't answer the phone.

After hearing this, Jessica Jung frowned slightly, as if she had suddenly thought of something, and rolled her eyes.

"Sigh, I know. That guy probably went crazy playing games and then fell asleep. He usually keeps his phone on Do Not Disturb, so wait a little longer. Is there something urgent you need to talk to him about?"

Suddenly remembering something, Lim Yoona hesitated for a few seconds before speaking softly, "I bought the course, and I really need it now, unnie~"

After understanding her implication, Jessica frowned again, "Didn't you just give it to him yesterday? Why are you in such a hurry? You should wait until he has finished talking to the other party before making a decision."

Yoona lowered her head and pursed her lips, her voice even lower but more forceful as she said, "Besides classes, I have something to discuss with him, unnie, it's urgent."

She emphasized the last two words, and anyone could tell she was really anxious.

Seeing Yoona's unusually anxious expression, Jessica Jung sighed and didn't ask any more questions.

He gently comforted her for a few moments, then took out his phone and started dialing Lin Xiuyuan's number.

She even dialed two numbers that no one else knew about.

That was a spare phone she had specially left in the apartment and the bar, hidden in a corner, just in case someone forgot to bring their phone.

However, the result was the same; no one answered.

After hesitating for a moment, she looked at Lim Yoona and said, "If you're really in a hurry, why don't we just go to his house? Or wait for him at the bar?"

Lim Yoona paused for a moment, the words Kim Eun-sook had spoken yesterday flashing through her mind.

Thinking about the relatively ample time available, she took a deep breath, composed herself, and gently shook her head.

"It's okay, unnie, let's rehearse first, then we'll go find him."

After saying that, she returned to her usual self, as if that emotion had never existed.

It was only the occasional wrong dance step and a brief moment of distraction that revealed that she still had something on her mind.

This situation continued from morning until evening.

During this time, Yoona and Jessica Jung tried to call Lin Xiuyuan several times, but none of the calls went through.

Unable to hold back any longer, Lim Yoona even asked, "Unnie, is he some kind of urban special agent? Is he on some kind of secret mission, isolated from the world?"

"..."

Having no idea how to answer, Jessica Jung could only remain silent. She couldn't very well say that the guy had flirted with her future self in 2025 and recorded an 'acting coaching' video for her, could she?

After dinner, the two returned to the practice room to continue training.

Around 8:30 p.m., Yoona hid her phone in the bottom of her clothes, and suddenly the screen lit up slightly.

Almost simultaneously, Jessica Jung's phone also lit up briefly, but then quickly went out again.

However, the two were rehearsing at the time and did not notice.

When the door to the practice room was knocked on, the members of Girls' Generation paused and all looked toward the door.

The door was slowly pushed open, and Sulli and Krystal Jung appeared outside.

Sulli politely nodded to all the seniors, and even when facing Kim Hyoyeon, she wore a proper smile.

Then, she finally looked at Yoona and said in a light tone, "Unnie, oppa called me back."

9 pm.

Lin Xiuyuan, who had bought some snacks nearby, walked briskly toward the tavern, but before he even reached the door, an SUV suddenly stopped beside him.

The car window rolled down, and Jessica Jung and Yoona came into his view.

Sulli's cute little face popped out from the back seat, waving at him, "Oppa~"

Upon seeing them, Lin Xiuyuan held up the snacks in his hand and said, "Hi, I brought you some food."

"Go ahead and laugh for now, let's see if you can still laugh in a bit."

Jessica Jung coldly uttered those words, then drove the two of them directly into the apartment complex, parked the car, and headed straight for the bar.

Then, as soon as he entered, he said to the figure setting out food on the sofa, "Hey, could you please stop running around all the time next time?"

Because Yoona was there, Jessica Jung couldn't be too obvious, but Sulli and Lin Xiuyuan still understood.

So the former smiled slightly, while the latter looked somewhat embarrassed, "I was here yesterday, who would have thought you guys would..."

Why are you suddenly in such a hurry to find me?

He didn't dare finish his sentence, but looked at Lim Yoona, who had reduced her phone's battery from 90% to less than 10%, and said, "Oh right, I haven't congratulated you yet, Yoona, on getting the lead role in Kim Eun-sook's script."

Upon hearing this, Jessica Jung and Sulli both looked at Yoona and then exchanged a glance.

Now they know why Lin Yoona was in such a hurry to find Lin Xiuyuan.
