Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 258. Ex-girlfriends should stay in touch.

"So, who's staying behind to take care of him tonight?"

Kim Ji-won sat down on the edge of the bed without getting up.

Posture often reveals a lot, and her current demeanor resembled that of a first wife asking about the final result.

"Ji-won unnie, that's between Ji-soo and me, so don't bother with it." Lim Na-yeon didn't answer directly; taking care of Ming-yan was originally her and Kim Ji-soo's responsibility.

Kim Ji-won laughed and said, "Nayeon, I'm really worried about you~"

She wasn't angry at Rabbit Teeth's attitude; a rival in love should act like one.

"Thank you~ I'm a night owl."

Rabbit Tooth never expected that the ability he honed under the pressure of Twice's extreme schedule would come in handy at this moment.

I can sleep only two or three hours a day without any problem in the group, so staying up all night is nothing to me.

"Nayeon, staying up late all the time isn't good for your skin. Would you like me to recommend a beauty salon to you?"

"No need, Jiwon unnie. I'm only 23 years old. My skin is fine without any skincare. Thank you."

The two girls' eyes met in the air, and their invisible words seemed to transform into tangible weapons in battle, colliding and scattering sparks.

Mingyan, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly shuddered. A chill slowly rose from his spine. The change in the external environment caused the patient to subconsciously have a stress response.

Not good, murderous.

"Ji-won unnie, thank you for your hard work today." Kim Ji-soo had no choice but to step up and straighten things out; Lim Na-yeon's sense of duty was a bit too strong.

“I didn’t do anything, since he sleeps most of the time.” Kim Ji-won stood up, and before leaving, she checked Ming-yan’s temperature: “Ji-soo, you were the one who helped a lot.”

"He just has a cold, but so many people are causing him so much trouble."

Of all the people present, perhaps only Kim Ji-soo could say that, as she and Ming-yeon have a completely uninhibited relationship.

"There aren't many times when this guy needs our attention..."

Kim Ji-won can't stand hearing such things.

For the first time, Lim Nayeon stood on Kim Ji-won's side: "Jisoo, he doesn't really worry us much; he worries about us more often."

Mingyan doesn't like to trouble people. When he's sick, he only remembers to call Kim Jisoo and act cute. He doesn't even want his niece to stay at home to take care of him.

"Oops, I misspoke." Kim Jisoo gestured for the two to leave and said, "Ji-won unnie, you should go back first. I'll have him contact you when he wakes up."

This guy hasn't forgotten what he and Lim Nayeon agreed on earlier.

The house is a bit small; it feels a bit crowded with three people in it.

Kim Ji-won has basically achieved her goals: First, Ming-yan's condition is stabilizing and improving; second, she has once again ascertained the relationship between Ming-yan and Kim Ji-soo; and third, she continues to reinforce the impression in Lim Na-yeon that Ming-yan might like Kim Ji-soo.

Since that's the case, there's no point in staying any longer.

Are we supposed to stay and experience what it feels like to be hot and spicy?

Mingyan doesn't look like she has any strength, so even if she forced herself on him, the experience probably wouldn't be very good.

Lim Nayeon followed Kim Ji-won warily, afraid that this older sister might cause some trouble before leaving. Theoretically, an ex-girlfriend shouldn't be in this house.

"Nayeon, the dance teacher you hired for me is amazing, thank you!" Kim Ji-won ignored the hostility emanating from Nayeon's bunny teeth, and even smiled as she thanked her after putting on her coat.

Rabbit Teeth almost didn't react: "Ah...it's nothing, just a small favor."

"We should keep in touch more often; you have my phone number."

"us……"

"Ex-girlfriends often have a lot in common."

……

"Is the person gone?"

Kim Jisoo lounged lazily on the sofa. Now that the only outsider in the house was gone, she started to let loose and completely disregarded her image.

"Yeah, Jisoo, Jiwon unnie definitely has ulterior motives towards him." Lim Nayeon was absolutely certain of her opinion, while Kim Jiwon practically had "I want to get back together" written all over her face.

One goal is enough, that lady wanted to score a brace.

Did you get my permission?
Kim Jisoo changed her posture and continued scrolling through her phone: "Ji-won unnie is his most recent girlfriend. How can you say she has ulterior motives? It's more like she still has feelings for him."

"Jisoo, aren't you worried at all?"

Lim Nayeon was actually quite curious about what Kim Jisoo thought of the women who came and went around Myung-yeon.

The two of them are the most authentic childhood sweethearts.

"worry about what?"

“He’s never had a girlfriend get back together with him before. What if…” Lim Nayeon bit her lip, seemingly unsure how to say it, “What if he really has a girlfriend? What will we do?”

"So what if he's dating? It's not like he has few girlfriends." Mingyan has had so many ex-girlfriends he can't even count them on two hands. If he cares about that, he shouldn't be doing anything else.

Nayeon explained with exaggerated gestures, "It's different. If Jiwon unnie gets back together with him, can we still come here whenever we want? Can we still order him around whenever we want? Can we still... be like we are now?"

Rabbit Teeth's three consecutive question marks revealed her deepest worry.

The girl had grown accustomed to Mingyan's presence and his kindness to them, and she couldn't accept that the presence of another woman would change everything.

Moreover, Lim Nayeon most hopes that the person who is closer to Mingyan is herself.

Rabbit Teeth herself couldn't say when she had this idea. Perhaps it started in junior high school when she began to envy those girls who could openly give Mingyan love letters.

"Nayeon, actually I'm quite happy."

Kim Jisoo sat cross-legged and put her phone aside.

"happy?"

“Ji-won unnie seems to genuinely care about him and like him.” Kim Ji-soo looked into Lim Na-yeon’s eyes: “He needs someone like that by his side.”

Even though she had strange feelings, as Mingyan's closest friend, Kim Jisoo understood the vulnerability inside the seemingly carefree and smiling person.

The more romantic a person is, the more they sometimes crave love.

That guy wants to find certainty in uncertainty, but when he encounters certainty, he's afraid to face it.

The most agonizing moment in the search for an answer throughout one's life may be the instant before the answer is revealed.

“Then so are we.” Lim Nayeon didn’t think Kim Jiwon would care more about Mingyan than she did; that older sister had only known this guy for a short time.

Kim Jisoo laughed and scolded, "So you should go in and keep him company, so you don't have all that energy to waste."

Rabbit Teeth got up, puzzled.

This thing seems to have answered its question, but it also seems to have not.

Kim Jisoo leaned back on the sofa and continued playing on her phone.

"What can people with a bitter taste in their mouth from a cold eat besides candy?"

……

"She slept really soundly."

Lim Na-yeon wiped the sweat from Ming-yeon's forehead with a tissue.

This guy had his brows furrowed; I wonder if he had encountered something bad in his sleep.

"Don't worry, I've already gotten rid of your ex-girlfriend for you~" the girl thought to herself.

That older sister isn't as cute, as young, or as cheerful as me... and you still like her, so don't you like me even a little bit?

Open your eyes and look at me; if you don't believe me, your eyes will be empty.

Silly boy, will you let me be your girlfriend?
