Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 98 Wait, why are there two Yoona unnies?! (Seeking monthly votes)

2013 years.

night.

The tavern was dimly lit, and the originally quiet space felt especially warm and inviting with the soft music playing from the gramophone, as if time itself had slowed down.

On the sofa, Jessica Jung sat on the inside, while Lin Xiuyuan moved to the outside chair. Two Bambi fawns surrounded them, and the two of them completely enclosed the coffee table.

After sitting down, Jessica Jung looked at Lim Dae-jun next to her and asked, "Yoona, when did you get here?"

However, I received two different responses.

Around 8 o'clock.

"Around 8 o'clock."

After speaking in unison, Lin Dajun and Lin Xiaolu exchanged a glance. This time, they didn't dislike each other as much, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Jessica Jung looked at Lin Xiuyuan with a helpless expression, "See? What do we do now? We can't even call for help."

Lin Xiuyuan shrugged. "Is it my fault? It was all to find a teacher for this person here."

At this point, as if suddenly remembering something, he turned to look at Lin Xiaolu, "Yoona, you tell me yourself, wasn't it you who requested in-person tutoring? I did just that."

Lin Xiaolu, who was being stared at by Lin Xiuyuan, lowered her head and said softly, "Yes, I was the one who shouted it, but who knew it would be so outrageous? Time travel is a plot that doesn't happen often, even in TV dramas."

Lin Dajun, who was on the other side, was taken aback after hearing this, and seemed to think it made sense, so he nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan said directly, "Reality is much more outrageous than movies and TV dramas, as you all know."

"Alright, let's stop arguing about this and address each issue one by one."

Listening to the three of them chatting idly, Jessica Jung finally understood why she had come, so she tapped on the coffee table to attract everyone's attention.

"First of all, the first question is, you two Yoonas, think of a name for each other. At least it should be distinguishable, so that when we call out, there are two different voices responding."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dajun immediately looked at Lin Xiaolu across from him and said, "According to age, I've been calling Yoona for over ten years longer than you."

Lin Xiaolu smiled wryly, her tone slightly teasing.

"Cool, then you can use Yoona in the bar, so no one will say I don't respect the elderly. Unnie, Lin Xiuyuan, you can just call me Xiao Lu here, Lin Xiao Lu, hmm, I'm quite young."

"Respect for the elderly and care for the young," "Youth"

The moment those two words were uttered, Lin Dajun, who had felt slightly superior just a second before, immediately turned pale.

Lin Xiuyuan and Zheng Xiuyan exchanged a glance, both of them tacitly recalling Xiao Zhiyan's signature phrase, "old woman."

Is it funny? Of course it's funny.

Dare to laugh? No, I dare not laugh.

Lin Xiuyuan almost couldn't hold back and quickly stood up to change the subject, "Um, Xiuyan, would you like something to drink?"

"If you're not drinking, sit down."

Jessica Jung, who was also suppressing her laughter, wasn't about to let him escape so easily. So she decided to drag him down with her and not give him a chance to hide.

Lin Xiuyuan finally couldn't hold back anymore, and his lips twitched as he forced a laugh, "Oh, that's too much."

"Laugh all you want, I'm not going to get angry over a title."

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting, Lin Dajun sighed, glanced at them speechlessly, and then looked at Lin Xiaolu one last time, "Let's make it clear first, since you asked me to come and give you guidance, you have to listen to everything I say."

"No, I'm just attending class, not selling myself. Why should I listen to everything you say?" Lin Xiaolu was young, but not stupid.

“What I mean is, in the acting career,” Lin Dajun said, changing his wording again.

Lin Xiaolu pondered for a moment. Logically speaking, her future self should be better at paving the way than her present self, but as the same person, she instinctively didn't want to be suppressed.

So, subconsciously, she turned her gaze to Lin Xiuyuan, as if her body's instinct made her trust him more than her reason.

Lin Xiuyuan, who was being stared at, found it somewhat amusing. "Why are you looking at me? When it comes to acting, Yoona is definitely the most authoritative among the people here."

"What if she tries to trick me?" Lin Xiaolu managed to stammer out after a few seconds.

"Ugh~" Lin Dajun laughed in exasperation.

Lin Xiuyuan shrugged and shifted the blame to Jessica Jung, saying, "It's simple. Just let Jessica be your referee. If there are any problems, just go to her."

This sudden blame left Jessica Jung dumbfounded. "Why not you? Why me? I didn't open the door. I'm not taking the blame."

"You're their unnie, I'm nothing, just a security guard at best."

Lin Xiuyuan spread his hands, looking completely innocent.

Upon hearing this reason, Jessica Jung's original rebuttal was immediately stuck in her throat, leaving her unable to speak or back down, her expression becoming subtly awkward.

Compared to their playful banter and teasing, Lin Dajun suddenly looked at Zheng Xiuyan seriously.

That was the first time she had truly gazed at the other person since they entered the room.

Although the two no longer had direct contact in 2025, they would still occasionally meet up offline.

However, they are all kept quite hidden, trying their best not to let the outside world find out, otherwise it will definitely be headline news for a while.

Moreover, compared to Jessica over there, Jessica Jung in front of her is clearly younger and in better condition.

Her skin, expression, and aura all exude a vitality that "has not been worn down by reality."

If that incident hadn't happened back then, would I be different now?

Thinking of this, Lin Dajun couldn't help but chuckle, looking at his younger self opposite him, "Alright, I know what you're worried about. Xiuyuan will take you there, and you'll be able to see all the information. I'll give you advice then, and it's up to you whether you choose it or not, okay?"

Xiuyuan!!
That tone again.

Jessica Jung listened to Lim Dae-jun's speech and immediately thought of Krystal. The two of them sounded so similar.

Lin Xiaolu, on the other hand, looked up at her future self, seemingly slightly surprised by this sudden "understanding".

Two seconds later, she nodded slightly. "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that there's a lot of information tonight. I need to go back and clear my head."

“It’s the same for everyone.” Lin Dajun sighed, his eyes softening.

Seeing that the two had finally stopped arguing, Jessica Jung temporarily put aside her complicated emotions and smoothly continued, "Then let's talk about the second question."

He paused, then looked at Lin Xiuyuan, "That's a matter of confidentiality."

As soon as these words were spoken, both Lin Dajun and Lin Yun'er looked at Lin Xiuyuan, as he was the key figure in this matter.

A moment later, the two of them spoke one after the other.

"I understand. This kind of thing definitely needs to be kept secret. Don't worry, unnie, I'll be careful with my words."

"Yes, I understand that, I'll be careful."

Jessica Jung didn't mind that Lim Dae-jun didn't call her "unnie".

In her view, unlike Krystal, who is still her biological sister, Yoona is just a member, and so many years have passed, so she must have more complex feelings.

But the next second, she was proven wrong.

After saying the above sentence, Lin Dajun turned to look at her and said, "By the way, unnie, since you went over there, you must know your own situation, right?"

"Ah~"

The "unnie" from the future Yoona made Jessica Jung, who had just made a confident promise, suddenly lose her composure.

However, she quickly gave her answer.

"Oh, I know, I saw it too. I personally think it's stupid and silly. But who knows if the other side is being pushed by circumstances or just too stubborn and obstinate. So what I'm saying now is just venting my personal emotions, I have no other intentions."

"It's already very good that you understand this, Unnie." Lin Dajun smiled with relief after hearing the reply. "Alright, let's not talk about her tonight, let's talk about you two."

Jessica Jung waved her hand, composed herself, and continued, "Once you all understand the confidentiality issue, there shouldn't be any problems afterward. The only thing is that when you come over here, Yoona, you should cover yourself up so that no one takes pictures of you, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble."

These words only made things worse. Lin Dajun laughed, "Like you that night, Unnie? If I hadn't met you that night, I probably wouldn't have had any contact with Xiuyuan."

Originally intended as a reminder, it unexpectedly became a "negative example".

Jessica Jung felt a little embarrassed and helplessly touched her neck.

"That night was an accident, sigh, anyway, you two should both remember it. Whether you go there or come over, just take precautions, it's best to cover your face."

Lin Dajun and Lin Xiaolu nodded and smiled, making the atmosphere much more relaxed.

At this moment, Lin Xiaolu suddenly asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time, "So, Mr. Lin, Lin Xiuyuan, are all the so-called members of your members-only bar people who know these secrets?"

"As expected of Yoona, she's so smart."

Before Lin Xiuyuan could even smile, Lin Dajun retorted from the side, "I am the one who is Yoon-ah, Xiuyuan."

"Okay, my bad, I'll get used to it as soon as possible."

Lin Xiuyuan admitted his mistake very quickly.

Lin Xiaolu smiled and said, "No wonder you said you have to find someone you like to become a member."

"Pleasing to the eye? That's not what he said over there."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dajun laughed along and then recounted the "fallen rich woman theory" from the other side.

Jessica Jung also joined the conversation, saying that the "doctrine" was mentioned by the other person when they were having dinner together.

Lin Xiaolu, who was standing nearby, listened with great interest and found it increasingly amusing, so she laughed continuously.

At this moment, seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Lin Xiuyuan seized the opportunity to say, "So, you two, would you like to consider joining the cult?"

"Xiuyuan, given the current situation, can we still refuse?" Lin Dajun looked at him and smiled lightly.

"Exactly, exactly. If we don't join the religion, are you going to leave us all stranded here?" Lin Xiaolu chimed in, her tone lively yet teasing.

Faced with the two joking back and forth, Lin Xiuyuan didn't say anything, but just stood up and said, "That's good, come on, initiation ceremony, let's record your iris and fingerprints first."

As he spoke, his tone became somewhat excited, "It's a good opportunity to see if your irises and fingerprints are the same. I've always been curious about this, but no one has ever given me a chance to experiment with it."

The two men became interested upon hearing this and stood up.

Jessica Jung, who was sitting comfortably, stood up and went over to watch as well.

A few minutes later, Lin Xiaolu, who had successfully registered first, stepped aside to let Lin Dajun behind her try opening the door.

However, the conclusion is clear: it is not universal; both iris and fingerprint recognition failed.

"That's strange. Lin Xiuyuan, what's going on at that villa over there?"

Seeing this, Jessica Jung asked curiously.

"Maybe I'm the only one."

Lin Xiuyuan didn't mention the details of the night he "ate people" to anyone, so he just made up a reason on the spot.

This explanation sounds reasonable enough, since that portal only recognizes him.

Jessica Jung then added.

"Now there's another problem. When you two are going back and forth between the two places, remember to give Lin Xiuyuan a signal first. If you happen to be in the same place at the same time, and there are other people around, then there will really be a problem."

After listening, Lin Dajun and Lin Xiaolu nodded repeatedly, indicating that they had remembered.

However, Lin Dajun suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, Xiuyuan, so Xiujing will also be a member in 2025."

"Mm." Lin Xiuyuan nodded.

After their iris and fingerprints were recorded, the group returned to their original seats.

Then Lin Xiuyuan introduced the current composition of the "cult" members in the tavern to the two newly joined "twin sisters".

"First is Jessica Jung, the one right in front of me."

"Secondly, Krystal, the big crystal of 2025."

As soon as she heard the description, Jessica Jung laughed and said, "I've got it. I'll let Krystal know later."

Lin Xiuyuan shrugged. "Next is Jiyeon, little Jiyeon, born in 2013."

"Ji-yeon too?"

Lin Dajun was a little surprised, but he quickly realized what was going on and exclaimed, "No wonder! So Xiuyuan, when you said you were Zhiyan's 'true fan,' you were just lying to her."

Seeing that Lin Xiaolu was also looking at him, Lin Xiuyuan wanted to quickly change the subject. "Ahem, let's not talk about this for now."

It's true that it's a bit embarrassing for young men to have a little quirk like having sex.

So he quickly said the next person to choose from, "Then it's Sherry."

"The one in 2025 is still on our side."

As Lin Xiuyuan uttered Shirley's name, Lin Xiaolu didn't think much of it and subconsciously asked about the timeline.

Then they saw Lin Dajun's expression change drastically. He lowered his head, and his smile vanished instantly.

Even Jessica Jung next to him pursed her lips tightly, but Lin Xiuyuan looked at her calmly and said slowly, "Sulli died in 2025, so it's her from 2013."

What do you mean by "gone"?

Lin Xiaolu opened her eyes wide, her expression changing slightly. She had vaguely guessed the answer, but she was unwilling to believe it.

In the end, Lin Dajun composed himself and took the initiative to reveal the painful truth: "She committed suicide in 2019."

"Impossible, how could Shirley commit suicide?"

Sure enough, Lin Xiaolu immediately bristled upon hearing this.

His voice suddenly rose an octave, and his emotions clearly fluctuated.

Even though she knew the one who died wasn't on her side, she still couldn't accept it. She frowned and looked at Lin Dajun, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

At that moment, Lin Dajun faced his past self and felt a heavy sense of guilt rising in his heart.

It's like witnessing firsthand evidence of some kind of failure or a missed responsibility; for a moment, you don't know how to respond.

Just as the air was becoming somewhat oppressive, the electronic lock on the door beeped, and the door was pushed open from the outside.

The person they were talking about carefully carried in two cakes.

“Oppa~ It’s so hard to buy cakes this late. I asked my friend to look for a long time before I finally got two cakes in Myeongdong.”

After speaking, Shirley turned her head and looked at the other side, her little head tilting to one side as she blinked her eyes in confusion.
