Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 252 Ji-won... that's not right either.

"Jisoo, stop fooling around."

It's clear that Mingyan hasn't figured out the situation yet.

At this moment, his brain, which was barely better than mush, only remembered the phone call he made with Kim Jisoo before he fell asleep.

"Oh~ Jisoo, do you want to get up?" The girl's tone was very gentle. She wasn't angry that Mingyan had mistaken her for someone else, but instead asked about his needs first.

Mingyan raised his hand, gesturing for 'Kim Jisoo' to help him up: "I need to go to the bathroom."

His body still felt heavy, and his condition did not seem to improve despite taking short naps.

"Come on, let me help you." The girl took Mingyan's hand and pulled slightly: "How much do you weigh? How come you're so heavy?"

"Ji-won?"

Although Mingyan is ill and his reactions are a bit slow, his brain is still intact.

As soon as he grabbed the girl's hand, he immediately realized something was wrong; Kim Jisoo's hand wasn't like that.

The man blinked hard a few times, and the image of Kim Ji-soo gradually faded from his mind, while Kim Ji-won's face gradually became clearer.

Kim Ji-won's voice remained "gentle": "You've mistaken me for someone else, I'm Ji-soo."

Someone should be thankful that they are currently ill, otherwise this woman certainly wouldn't have been so patient in answering; not speaking out and immediately taking action would be considered kind-hearted.

She couldn't stop Mingyan and Kim Jisoo's nearly twenty-year relationship, but mistaking someone else for someone else was just too outrageous.

"Noona, when did you... cough cough cough, ugh..." Mingyan was about to say something when he was interrupted by a violent cough. He got up a little too abruptly.

"You."

Seeing Mingyan like this, Kim Ji-won couldn't vent her anger; all she felt was heartache.

The girl gently patted Mingyan's back, helping him regulate his breathing and rhythm.

"Noona, when did you get here?" Mingyan finally stopped coughing and put his hand on Kim Jiwon's shoulder: "I'm confused right now, I can't see anything clearly."

“Minjung said you were sick and he was worried about leaving you home alone, so he called me.” Kim Jiwon looked at the haggard man with heartache.

The last time the two met, this guy was full of energy.

They dated for over a year. Mingyan was always in good health, while Kim Ji-won herself had been sick twice, and her boyfriend took great care of her both times.

Mingyan even helped her trim her toenails back then.

The man shook his head: "This child..."

He had planned everything carefully, only telling Kim Minjung not to call Kim Jisoo and Lim Nayeon, but he never expected that they would directly bring Kim Jiwon over.

Kim Minjung: Jiwon unnie, you must seize this opportunity!

The little guy is really going to great lengths for his future aunt.

“Minjung is right. You’re so sick, how can you stay home alone?” Kim Jiwon complained to him, “You still have a fever and are in a very dangerous condition.”

The girl hadn't actually taken care of many patients, but she could learn.

If the person who is sick is Mingyan, Kim Ji-won is willing to work hard.

"What's my temperature now?" Mingyan had been in a daze since she opened her eyes in the morning and hadn't bothered to take her temperature. She figured this older sister must have taken it while she was sleeping.

"A little over thirty-nine degrees Celsius."

This is almost at the level of a high fever, so it's no wonder Mingyan was slow to react.

Mingyan was quite attentive to seemingly unrelated details: "Noona, where did you get the thermometer?"

"I knew you had a cold, so I bought it before I came. I guessed you didn't have any at home." Kim Ji-won pretended to help someone to their feet: "Didn't you need to go to the bathroom?"

"Ah, yes."

If it weren't for the urgent need to relieve himself, he would probably still be fast asleep right now.

For patients, just being awake requires a lot of physical exertion.

Mingyan wasn't shy in front of Kim Ji-won at all, letting this older woman help him towards the restroom. His steps were unsteady, as if he were walking on cotton. This cold had come on rather strangely; Mingyan hadn't felt anything before, but after a night of drinking, he was completely out of commission.

"Alright, you can go in by yourself." Kim Ji-won carefully helped her ex-boyfriend to the outside of the restroom.

Mingyan's face was pale: "Nuna, I'm so weak right now, what if I fall down while peeing?"

"Then what do you want?"

"If you're going to be a good Samaritan, help me inside."

Mingyan wasn't faking it; he felt dizzy as soon as he stood up, and broke out in a cold sweat after only a few steps. Sick people are much more vulnerable than usual.

"Alright." Normally, Kim Ji-won would never agree to such a rude request, but this girl looked so sickly…

It's simply irresistible!
As the saying goes, to look good, one must wear mourning clothes. Mingyan's pale and weak appearance at this moment was completely different from his usual appearance, which aroused the girl's protective instincts even more.

My dear child, come quickly into your mother's arms.

Mingyan went to the toilet and pulled down his pants, while Kim Ji-won turned around symbolically.

Although she had seen everything, going to the toilet and being in bed are different, and there are still things to be mindful of.

Mingyan looked at the girl's pretty profile and smiled, "Noona, can you help me hold her up?"

"You have a cold, you're not paralyzed."

Kim Ji-won felt sorry for him, but she couldn't possibly agree to all his unreasonable demands. He even needed help to hold the toilet when he went to the bathroom; anyone who didn't know better would think he was seriously ill.

"It is said that if a cold gets severe, there is a risk of paralysis."

"Pah, pah, pah, who curses themselves?" Kim Ji-won slapped the loose-tongued guy. He was sick and still talking nonsense. It was bad luck.

The girl helped her ex-boyfriend back to bed and lay down again.

This short journey not only made Mingyan sweat, but it also made her sweat.

It was still a bit strenuous for Kim Ji-won, who weighs around 100 pounds, to support a strong man who weighs 170 or 180 pounds.

Mingyan held the older woman's hand and said, "Noona, thank you for your hard work."

"Well, that's what happens when I'm your ex-girlfriend." Kim Ji-won checked his forehead again: "You should sleep a little longer. If your fever hasn't gone down by the afternoon, you might have to go to the hospital."

"It's not a big problem."

Did you eat anything this morning?

"I couldn't eat, I only took medicine." Mingyan's breathing was a little heavy.

"No, I'll go get you something to eat. Eat before you sleep, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

Kim Ji-won had little experience in caring for patients, but she knew that one needed to eat to have the energy to fight the virus, and that one would not have the strength if one did not eat.

Mingyan waved his hand reluctantly: "Noona, it's better not to."

This woman doesn't cook much when she lives alone. Who knows what she might make if you asked her to cook? It's better for her to stay quietly with you for a while.

"It's okay, you wait here." Kim Ji-won helped the man cover himself with the blanket, then got up and went out.

"Hey……"

Mingyan opened his mouth to try to stop him, but he was too late.

Oh well, whatever happens, happens. Having something to eat is better than having nothing at all.

As Mingyan listened to the faint sounds coming from outside the room, his eyelids grew heavier and heavier. Before losing consciousness, he felt as if he had forgotten something.

Time passed, and the man vaguely felt a small, icy hand slip into the blankets and grope around.

"Ji-won noona, stop fooling around."

"Intelligence what?"
