Peninsula: The young master is poor and doesn't want to date.

Chapter 39 Lim Yoon-a's Lap Pillow

Lee Woo-bin crossed his arms, leaned back in his chair, and turned his face toward the window again.

The Han River is already visible from the window.

The Seoul skyline drew ever closer at the edge of the windshield, the skyscrapers lighting up in the twilight like a chessboard being lit up.

Im Yoona tilted the air conditioner vent upwards and suddenly spoke.

"I heard about Irene's situation. That rumor was pretty outrageous, and it even came from Kakao's eldest daughter. Later, SM Entertainment issued a statement saying it was all fabricated. How did you guys manage to do that?"

Looking out the window at the Han River, Li Zhengyi thought to himself, "Everyone says the Han River has excessive levels of Viagra. If we use Han River water to feed breeding pigs, wouldn't that be...?"

cough cough.

"I don't know either. Anyway, I've always been upright and honest, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door in the middle of the night. In the end, justice just stood on the side of the good people."

It would be a miracle if Yoona believed that.

She's not a child anymore.

She knew Li Zhengyi was wary of her and refused to tell the truth.

She didn't ask any further questions.

The two met by chance and had no real connection.

But to her surprise, she had previously learned some inside information through friends and thought Li Zhengyi was a good-for-nothing.

But now it seems that compared to Li Zhengyi, Li Yubin next to him is the real loser.

And when combined with some rumors about the CJ family's succession rights, the story becomes quite interesting.

However, she had no intention of getting involved at all.

She wants to live a few more years, be a star, and save money for her retirement.

At the same time, I felt that Lee Jung-il was much more comfortable to talk to than Lee Woo-bin in his honest way.

At least when he asked her to keep it a secret, he was genuinely thinking about "not causing you any trouble."

This is enough.

Yoona's silver-gray Hyundai SUV drove on the highway for an hour.

It was completely dark.

The streetlights swept the light into the car in sections.

Monotonous, repetitive, and soporific.

Li Zhengyi sat in the back of the passenger seat, his head tilted against the car window, his eyelids already half drooping.

I haven't slept for two days and one night.

Lee Woo-bin was even more exaggerated, tilting his head to one side and opening his mouth halfway.

Then, the car lurched.

Suddenly someone pushed the steering wheel, and the whole car drifted half a meter to the left before being violently pulled back.

Li Zhengyi's eyes snapped open.

He saw Yoona's face in the rearview mirror.

My chin is drooping, and my head is tilting to the left at an extremely slow speed.

The car drifted slightly to the left again.

This time it drifted even further, and the tires ran over the white line of the emergency lane, making a rumbling vibration sound.

Li Zheng leaned forward and glanced at the dashboard in front of him; the speed was 110 kilometers per hour.

Lee Woo-bin was also startled awake.

"Ah!!! Yoona!!! Wake up!!!"

The high decibel level and the terrified tone had an immediate effect.

Im Yoona suddenly jumped up, her head almost hitting the roof of the car.

But her reaction was still too slow.

The car was approaching the rear of a large truck at 110 miles per hour.

The truck's taillights drew closer into the night.

Yoona's foot was still searching for the brakes, the steering wheel wobbled twice under her hands, and the car began to swerve.

"Brake!!! Brake!!! Slam on the brakes!!!"

Lee Woo-bin's voice had turned into a screaming chicken mode, he was pulling the seatbelt taut, and his other hand was gripping the car door handle tightly.

Yoona finally hit the brakes.

The front of the car suddenly lurched downwards as the ABS kicked in.

The SUV stabilized itself less than two meters from the truck.

Unaware of what was happening, the king continued to move forward at a steady speed of eighty miles per hour.

Lee Woo-bin slumped in the back seat.

"You bastard, you almost sent us all to our deaths!!!"

Yoona ignored him.

She gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, her breathing was heavy, and her shoulders were trembling slightly.

She herself was startled by that sudden movement.

"Pull over. Stop the car. Change drivers."

Lee Woo-bin paused for a moment, then pointed to his own nose: "Let him drive!"

Li Zhengyi spread his hands: "I don't even have shoes, how am I supposed to drive? You use your toes to brake, you go drive."

Lee Woo-bin glanced down at the Converse sneakers on his feet.

"...Shiba."

He grumbled as he unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, and went around to the driver's seat.

Lim Yoona moved to the back seat and sat in the seat that Lee Woo-bin had just occupied.

Lee Woo-bin adjusted the seat and restarted the car.

"What a piece of junk this car is! The steering wheel is so light, and pressing the accelerator feels like stepping on cotton. I almost got killed by your lousy car just now, you know that, Lim Yoona?"

Yoona did not react.

She had already rested her head against the car window.

Li Zhengyi observed from the side for a few seconds.

It's an expression of being exhausted to the bone but unable to sleep.

A big star, driving a dusty, modern SUV alone, on a long trip.

This is abnormal in itself.

"So tired, where are you driving alone? Even a big star like you doesn't have anyone accompanying you. Is it some private business you're running?"

Yoona opened one eye and glanced at him.

"You know it's a private matter, yet you still ask."

"Okay, then you can rest. Don't worry, I won't take any pictures while you're sleeping. I don't even have a phone."

You'd better not.

Lim Yoon-a's attitude was very bad.

After saying that, she closed her eyes again.

Soon, his breathing became even.

Fell asleep.

Li Zhengyi was also feeling sleepy.

Just as I was about to dream of Bae Joo-hyun wearing fishnet stockings, I suddenly felt a weight on my shoulder.

Yoona leaned her head closer.

Li Zhengyi's body stiffened.

But it didn't move.

Then, Lim Yoona slid down and lay sideways on the back seat, resting her head on his lap.

"..."

Li Zheng looked down at the face so close to his.

She has a small face and great skin, but the dark circles under her eyes are still noticeable.

Looks like he's really exhausted.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

When Li Yubin, who was driving in front, saw this scene in the rearview mirror, he instantly became furious and almost swerved the steering wheel.

Li Zhengyi was helpless.

"It wasn't me who wanted to do anything, it was her who wanted to sleep with me, and I didn't move an inch."

Lee Woo-bin glared at him in the rearview mirror.

"Where are you putting your hands?"

"My hand is up there, can't you see it?"

"..."

Lee Woo-bin gritted his teeth and said nothing more.

Li Zhengyi was too lazy to pay attention to him.

He looked down at Lin Yoona on his lap.

She was sleeping soundly, and even started talking in her sleep.

"Unnie...don't go..."

Her voice was very soft, with a sob in it.

"We promised to be together... so why are there eight of us now...?"

Li Zheng raised an eyebrow.

Isn't Girls' Generation a nine-member group?

Oh right, Jessica Jung left the group three months ago.

"The map is wrong...it's missing a piece...it can't be put back together..."

"I'm so tired...so tired...I can't sleep...I still have to film...I'm sorry, I made a mistake...I'll do better...I promise...I can't hold everyone back anymore..."

"No...don't leave me alone...you'll all leave...I know...Dad...Mom...Unnie...no matter how well I do...it's no use..."

The sound grew fainter and fainter, until it finally turned into a sob.
