Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 267 Kim Minjung was showered with "dog food" (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection).

Kim Minjung has been curious about this question for a long time.

The way Mingyan and Kim Jisoo get along is even more dramatic than a TV drama. They've been childhood sweethearts for almost twenty years, and now one is a popular actress and the other is a popular idol. It sounds incredibly romantic.

These two outstanding individuals, did they really never have feelings for each other?
In a girl's rosy-tinted mind, it's hard to resist a handsome childhood sweetheart.

"like?"

This isn't the first time Kim Jisoo has been asked this question. Just like when she was mistaken for Mingyan's girlfriend, many people have asked her similar questions.

This included her classmates, friends, and even her mother. Kim's mother did indeed subtly inquire about her second daughter's love life.

The son-in-law who's practically on the tip of one's tongue can fly away.

"Jisoo unnie, I didn't mean anything by it, I was just curious." Kim Minjung waved her hands repeatedly, feeling that her question was a bit presumptuous.

Kim Jisoo looked disgusted and said, "Your uncle and I grew up together."

"I know."

The little guy looks so adorable; it's only romantic to grow up together like this.

“If you knew how awful he was as a child, you wouldn’t ask this kind of question.” Kim Jisoo glanced towards the kitchen: “There are too many to count.”

Besides various nursery rhyme materials, Kim Ji-soo's head is filled with Mingyan's dark history.

"Jisoo unnie, please tell me a story." Kim Minjung was most interested in her uncle's childhood stories, and she kept pestering this older sister to tell her a story when they went to bed together last night.

However, we fell asleep while chatting, and we didn't get to enjoy ourselves at all.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Mingyan brought out the washed fruit and placed it in front of the two girls who were chatting.

He likes to see similar scenes. What makes a home a home is not how luxurious the house is, but the people who live in it.

If Nayeon were here too, the atmosphere would probably be even more lively.

"Jisoo unnie, what did he say?" Kim Minjung was already used to asking Kim Jisoo for help; probably only this older sister could understand these jumbled syllables.

"He asked us what we were talking about, and also, this orange is very sweet."

"I can understand the first part, but how did you figure out the second part?"

"Oh, I said that myself."

Hmm... that works too.

Kim Ji-won still felt like a guest to Kim Min-jung, but this older sister blended in seamlessly, as if she knew her better than Kim herself.

Kim Minjung smiled and explained, "Uncle, Jisoo unnie and I were just talking about the two of you when you were little."

"Minjung wants to know if we ever liked each other." Kim Jisoo didn't seem to care at all: "Tell me, why didn't we get together?"

"vomit……"

Although Mingyan couldn't speak, he imitated the sound of vomiting perfectly.

It has to be said that their similar reactions are a kind of tacit understanding. They both expressed their dislike for each other, but their relationship was closer than anyone else's.

"Minjung, see."

"Uncle, Jisoo unnie is so beautiful." Kim Minjung didn't understand Mingyan's reaction.

Mingyan took out his phone, lowered his head, and seemed to be searching for something. There were still some inconveniences in not being able to speak.

Kim Jisoo pouted and said, "He just wants to say that I wasn't as good-looking when I was a child as I am now."

The man nodded vigorously.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. People closest to me aren't as sensitive to changes in appearance, since we see each other almost every day.

We go to school together, come home together, go home together, and even go out to play together.

We hang out together every day.

It's hard to say that Kim Jisoo's carefree personality hasn't been influenced by Mingyan. Playing with boys every day definitely has some side effects, but fortunately, Lim Nayeon helped to curb it somewhat. "Uncle, it can't be that exaggerated, can it?" Kim Minjung was skeptical; this older sister was now a top-tier figure.

It's important to understand that in the fiercely competitive girl group market, it's incredibly difficult to carve out a path based solely on looks. Just look at the people online who are on par with Kim Jisoo.

Bae Joo-hyun, Chou Tzu-yu!
"It's true. Even my family thought I wasn't good-looking when I was little." Kim Jisoo smiled. "My older sister was beautiful when she was little. I was dark-skinned and skinny back then."

The girl spoke of what should have been a heartbreaking story with a smile, because there was someone standing firmly by her side.

This is enough.

In a daze, Kim Ji-soo recalled her elementary school days when some chubby classmates called her "Little Black Monkey" and threw sand at her. Then, she rushed over and fought with them.

One against many is not an advantage; if someone refuses to admit defeat even when being beaten, it is often the other person who ends up begging for mercy.

"Damn it, if I hear you guys say Jisoo is ugly again, I'll beat you up."

Then, Mingyan, wearing her dusty school uniform, wiped her face, saying something that looked like snot or something else: "Hey, don't cry. You're the prettiest girl in my heart. Don't listen to what others are saying."

It was a very simple sentence, but she has remembered it to this day, and probably will never forget it in her next life.

Kim Minjung couldn't understand why her older sister was laughing when she brought this up, and subconsciously looked at Mingyan.

Mingyan raised his hand and gently tapped Kim Jisoo's head: "Waaah."

"Hmph, your uncle isn't a good person either. He looks down on me, and I look down on him too." The girl snapped out of her daze and slapped the man's hand away.

"What did my uncle do this time?"

In Kim Minjung's mind, although Myung-eon sometimes likes to joke around and knows a lot of pretty older women, he is still a very reliable person overall.

In other words, she felt that her uncle was good enough for anyone.

"Waaah." Mingyan waved his hand forcefully.

Minjung, you can't trust what this guy says.

“My family and I went to a game once…” Kim Jisoo didn’t have to put in any effort to find this guy’s embarrassing past: “I was wearing a yellow jersey and then I was targeted by bees.”

It was him who told me to stand still and not move, otherwise I wouldn't get stung by bees.

Seeing that her older sister had stopped talking, Kim Minjung quickly asked, "Jisoo unnie, and then what?"

"Then I got stung, and in my panic I ran away and fell down."

Kim Jisoo swept her hair back, and sure enough, there was a small scar near the end of her hair.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Yes, you tried to pull me back then, but you couldn't hold me, so it's your fault."

"Jisoo unnie, you and your uncle have such a good relationship after all these years." The little guy exclaimed sincerely.

"That's because I can tolerate him."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

He openly pulled his niece to his side to prevent Kim Min-jung from being corrupted by Kim Ji-soo.

Kim Jisoo chatted with Kim Minjung for a while, then stretched and stood up: "Hey, you need to take your medicine first, then I'll go back to the dorm."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"No, no, no, not too hot water."

Kim Minjung's question did not receive a clear answer.

Neither Kim Ji-soo nor Myung-yeon clearly explained why they didn't end up together; instead, they reminisced about their youthful days.

For some reason, Kim Minjung had a vague feeling that he had been shown up in a compliment.

Is this what showing off your love is all about?
