Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 239 Kim Ji-won: He has me in his heart.

"Uncle, you don't actually have to get up to make me breakfast."

Kim Minjung carefully considered his words for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and speaking.

The little guy was initially happy about Mingyan's break, after all, his uncle worked really hard while filming and should take a good rest after filming wrapped.

However, if they explicitly state that they won't bother with the characters, then they'll start bothering the people involved.

Specifically, after his break, he started preparing breakfast for his niece, claiming it was to fulfill his parental responsibilities.

Mingyan's breakfasts weren't bad, but he didn't like repeating the same things, so he prepared different dishes for Kim Minjung every day, resulting in inconsistent quality.

For example, I made two kinds of rice rolls today: seaweed rice rolls and fried tofu rice rolls.

"Minjung, don't worry, I'm fine right now. Just focus on your studies and practice." Mingyan took out a lunchbox: "Just getting an A in the monthly assessment isn't enough, your academic performance can't fall too far behind either."

He doesn't expect his niece to get into prestigious universities like Seoul National University or Yonsei University; he just wants her grades to be decent enough.

It seems that the Ming family no longer has a tradition of producing academic achievers.

"I see."

After washing up and changing his clothes, Kim Minjung wanted to run away.

Mingyan, of course, knew what his niece was thinking: "Minjun, you haven't brought your lunchbox yet. Take it to the company to eat."

SM Entertainment has excellent infrastructure, including refrigerators and microwaves for trainees to heat up their food, so they don't have to go out to eat when they're hungry.

"Oh." Kim Minjung had no choice but to stuff the lunchbox into his backpack before leaving the house.

Mingyan smiled as he watched the little guy's retreating figure.

Of course he could see Kim Minjung's reluctance; the kid was still too inexperienced, his feelings were written all over his face.

However, teasing children is also a great joy in the parenting process. Kim Minjung's clever little face makes you want to pinch her cheeks hard a couple of times.

Kim Minjung took the subway to the company.

She only brings breakfast when she's practicing; she eats at home when she's at school.

Liu Zhimin greeted the younger sister with a smile: "Minjung, good morning."

"Good morning, Jimin unnie."

“Minjeong unnie’s expression is strange. Did Mingyan oppa make breakfast again?” Ning Yizhuo may be young, but her mind works very fast.

This isn't the first time Kim Minjung has brought breakfast made by Mingyan to the company; he brought it twice in the past few days.

"My uncle is only doing this for my own good."

Kim Minjung, of course, had no idea that Mingyan actually knew everything, and was still defending that unscrupulous person.

Kim Chae-hyun leaned closer, puzzled: "What did you make today?"

"Seaweed rice rolls, fried tofu rice rolls, and kimchi made by Jisoo unnie's mom." Kim Minjung opened his backpack, took out his lunchbox, and introduced it to his friends.

"A popular actor and a popular idol, two seniors serving Minjeong unnie all by herself, what a blessing that is."

Ning Yizhuo started crowing again before she could finish her sentence, but it seemed that no one got the joke about the little guy.

Yoo Jimin picked up a piece of seaweed rice roll first: "Oppa's cooking skills are actually not bad, Minjung, you have to eat it properly."

She couldn't be happier if someone treated her this way.

"Jimin unnie, eat more if you like it." Kim Minjung pushed the lunchbox. Most of the breakfast that Mingyan had made for her had actually ended up in this older sister's stomach.

Liu Zhimin's sense of taste seems to be different from that of ordinary people.

"Minjeong unnie, Jimin unnie is preparing to become your aunt-in-law."

"Hey, Ning Yizhuo!"

……

"Ji-won, are you a little tired?"

The manager looked at Kim Ji-won with concern as she made frequent mistakes in her dance.

The girl had been practicing singing and dancing diligently in preparation for her upcoming fan meeting tour. Even though fans wouldn't have overly high expectations of their idol, she still needed to look presentable on stage. "It's alright," Kim Ji-won said, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

Singing and dancing is indeed quite difficult for her, as her lack of coordination is a natural problem.

The agent handed over a bottle of water: "Take a rest first. What would you like to eat later?"

"I don't know, let's talk about it later."

Kim Ji-won sat wearily on the floor of the dance studio. People don't have much of an appetite when they're tired.

This practice room was rented by the company specifically for preparing for the tour. The teachers also give lessons here. Actors' companies don't have dedicated practice rooms for singing and dancing.

"Alright then." The manager tactfully withdrew, leaving Kim Ji-won alone.

"I wonder what that guy is doing?"

Kim Ji-won held up her phone and opened her chat history with Myung-yeon.

Although she and that guy didn't see each other every day, he was definitely responsive to everything and would even share some things that happened in his life.

For example, the latest chat history between the two is a photo of breakfast that Mingyan made.

Scrolling back a bit, you'll see someone discussing with Kim Ji-won how to supplement Kim Min-jung's nutrition. It's not wrong for a child to lose weight, but if he continues to lose weight, he might become skin and bones.

The child can barely distinguish between the front and the back.

"Honestly, I'm hungry too, didn't you even ask me?" Kim Ji-won muttered a complaint as she scrolled through the chat history.

Her counter-offensive plan has achieved some initial success, but it will be difficult to continue pushing it forward.

Because the core issue of why they wanted to break up was not resolved.

The only thing Kim Ji-won is certain of right now is that the guy still has feelings for her, and their breakup wasn't because they didn't love each other; on the contrary, it might be because they loved each other too much.

Mingyan was afraid.

Kim Ji-won murmured, "Compared to Kim Ji-soo, it seems that she is still more important to me."

She reflected on the relationship between that younger sister and Mingyan, and felt more and more that Kim Jisoo was a formidable opponent. It seemed that Lim Nayeon needed to add fuel to the fire.

Kim Ji-won, now in her mid-twenties, discovers for the first time that she actually has the potential to be a bad woman.

It's all Mingyan's fault!

"It seems like Krystal is coming back from America soon. I'm probably going to get scolded again." Kim Ji-won glanced at her phone's schedule. She was most afraid of her friend scolding her for being love-struck when she got back.

If Krystal Jung knew that she had given away her prize again, she might be so angry she'd laugh.

However, she has never experienced what it's like to be with Mingyan, so she certainly wouldn't understand her feelings. That guy is different from ordinary men!
There's always a way out. Let's wait for her to come back; maybe we can get away with it.

"Dang Dang Dang."

As Kim Ji-won was aimlessly spacing out, there was a sudden knock on the practice room door: "Who is it?"

"takeout."

"Manager unnie, really... I already said I'm not hungry anymore." Kim Ji-won grimaced as she got up from the floor; her legs were really overworked from practicing singing and dancing.

The girl opened the door to the practice room, only to be met with a face bearing a hateful smile.

Mingyan shook the bag in his hand: "Noona, surprise."

To some extent, he wasn't wrong to say he was a food delivery person.

"How did you end up here?" Kim Ji-won was still a little confused.

"I don't know who shared the address of the practice room with me a couple of days ago."

Mingyan is a seasoned womanizer, so of course he knows what this woman means.

Moreover, since they hadn't seen each other for a while, he really did miss Kim Ji-won.

"This is……"

"I made my own seaweed rice rolls, have a taste."
