Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 247 Let's buy a house in Jeju Island.

"Uncle, when are you coming back?"

Just as Mingyan and Kim Jisoo were chatting, Kim Minjung called.

The little guy is staying home alone, and he says he's not sure if he'll go back.

"Minjung, if you're sleepy, go to sleep first. I'll wait a while." Mingyan pressed Kim Jisoo's head down with one hand, while still having the other hand free to answer the phone.

Kim Jisoo bared her teeth and brandished her claws: "You bastard, you've gotten my pants all dirty."

"Jisoo unnie, what did my uncle do?"

If it were someone else, Kim Minjung might have misunderstood, but Mingyan being with Kim Jisoo wouldn't make her have any impure thoughts.

They're childhood sweethearts, so it's perfectly normal for them to do things together.

“He’s going to die.” Kim Jisoo shouted at the top of her lungs, “Minjung, you don’t need to wait for him anymore, he’s not coming back.”

"Jisoo unnie, then go easy on me."

"Ah."

Before Mingyan could say anything, Kim Minjung hung up the phone, completely disregarding the fact that his uncle might be suffering on the other end: "Jisoo, I really didn't mean to brush against you like that."

"You did it on purpose."

"Don't be so blunt," Mingyan said tentatively. "If I let go now, you can't come at me and bite me anymore, deal?"

"I...deal!" Although Kim Jisoo was unwilling, she really couldn't do anything about this guy unless it was a surprise attack.

There's nothing I can do, my arms are too short.

The girl patted her pants a few times, revealing a clear handprint. Otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to settle scores with Mingyan. It's outrageous to casually put your dirty hands on your lap.

Wash it thoroughly before putting it in!
Mingyan laughed and said, "Haha, Jisoo, you look like you've encountered a pervert."

His face was flushed, his hair was disheveled, he was breathing rapidly, and there was a handprint on his pants—all the necessary elements were present.

"You can still laugh."

Kim Jisoo rolled her eyes. Being with this guy was just endlessly infuriating.

"I'm sorry, I really wanted to see if you were wearing long johns." Kim Jisoo's wine glass legs are beautiful; she's very thin, but they look a bit fleshy, though it's hidden.

Ordinary people often can't learn from celebrities' outfits. They walk through airports and on the red carpet with their legs exposed in the dead of winter, their lips turning white from the cold, and they still have to say they're fine.

Mingyan once told Kim Jisoo and Lim Nayeon that they should wear as many clothes as possible, as that would make them more distinctive.

"You have to pay me back with a pair of pants."

"It can't be that bad, I'll just wash your hands when I get back."

"Must be hand-washed."

"Don't worry, my skills... what else could you possibly be worried about?"

From childhood to adulthood, Mingyan has helped clean up Kim Jisoo's messes countless times. When she was little, if her clothes got dirty, he was afraid she would get scolded, so he would take the dirty clothes home for the nanny to wash or wash them himself.

This girl suddenly got her period when she was in school and stained her skirt. He was the one who ended up washing it for her.

This is what it means to be tested over time.

The two of them wrestled for a while, but eventually got up and went back inside.

Mingyan recalled the scene that Kim Jisoo had described to him before: "Hey, seriously, how about we don't let YG use this house anymore, and take it back after filming the variety show?"

Money can never be fully earned; the most important thing is to live happily.

"You really want to cook here?" Kim Jisoo's fingers lightly traced across the table.

"I just think it's a waste that you've put so much effort into it and are just using it to make money." Mingyan walked around the empty kitchen. "It would be better if it were used as a place to live."

He should have his own house by now.

Jung Won-ryong once helped Mingyan find a financial advisor. After all, billions of Korean won were just sitting there doing nothing, and they would earn even more in the future, so it was better to make some investments. Money making money is the fastest way, and there are few professions in the world with a more abundant cash flow than celebrities.

I've made some money over the past few years, more or less.

Kim Jisoo looked around and said, "Yeah, it would feel so good to have a house that I designed myself."

Most idols are just ordinary people. The first thing they do after they get rich is to buy a house and a car. Some of them are even more filial and will improve their parents' living conditions. It's nothing more than these two things.

BLACKPINK has only been around for a little over a year, so they'll have to wait several more years to buy their dream house with their settlement money.

Therefore, Kim Ji-soo put a lot of effort into designing this house. No matter how it is operated in the future, the owner of the house always said that the money will eventually end up in the house.

"Isn't this place nice?"

"It's good, but it was designed like a dormitory, not my own home."

"Then why am I cooking here?"

"I do not know."

Mingyan really had no way to deal with this simpleton. Kim Jisoo always acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world: "I want to move to a new house. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"Change houses? That makes sense. It's not appropriate for you and Minjun to always be crammed into a shared apartment." Kim Jisoo paused for a moment, then nodded.

“Minjung will move out sooner or later; she can’t live with me forever.”

Mingyan said that he was still a little sad when he brought this up.

Kim Minjung is still a minor and a trainee who hasn't debuted yet, so it's normal for her to live at her uncle's house. But once she debuts, she'll have to live in a dormitory, just like Kim Jisoo and Lim Nayeon.

He was very confident that his niece would debut. At worst, he would sleep with a manager in a company to get Kim Minjung a debut spot.

As the saying goes, if the uncle doesn't go to hell, who will?

"Minjung is seventeen this year, right? That's about right." The debut age of Korean idols is getting younger and younger, and eighteen to twenty years old is the last window of opportunity.

Very few trainees over twenty years old can debut, which puts a lot of pressure on them.

Like Lim Nayeon and Kim Jisoo, they both debuted around the age of twenty, but they are already the eldest members of their respective groups.

Mingyan sighed, "Sigh, this means I'll become an empty-nest old man sooner or later."

"I wonder who was so nervous before Minjung came, but now they're reluctant to let him go."

Am I nervous?

"Let me think of something. Like calling me in the middle of the night, dragging me and Nayeon to decorate Minjeong's room, and even wanting to prepare a snack cabinet..."

Kim Jisoo counted on her fingers, recounting one by one the things someone had done back then, as if Kim Minjung were some kind of monster.

As time went by, Mingyan realized that the ferocious beast he had imagined was actually just a cute little dog.

Moon Bear, Kookeu, Kim Minjung, my own niece is definitely number one!
"Um... let's talk about moving to a new house. What are your thoughts?" Mingyan brought the topic back to the present.

"Tell me how much money you have first."

"A little over five billion."

Kim Jisoo looked at her friend in surprise: "Are you that rich?"

"Jisoo, it's too late for you to regret it now." Mingyan raised his head: "Nayeon's attitude is much more proactive than yours."

He worked as an actor for several years, appearing in all of his most popular works. Combined with endorsements, advertisements, and investment returns, his wealth wasn't substantial.

"I'd like to buy a farm in Jeju Island, where I can see the sea as soon as I open the door, and then plant oranges in the backyard. Have you seen Hyori's guesthouse?"

"Seen."

"Let's buy a house like that."

"Wait a minute, they're a couple who're living in seclusion there. If I buy a house there, who will I live with?"
