Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 270 Ji-min Unnie, you also have the potential to be a translator.

"Oppa's coming to pick me up?"

Liu Zhimin's previously somewhat confused eyes instantly became clear.

She scratched her slightly messy hair. How come she was supposed to meet Kim Minjung on the subway to go to the company together, but now it turned out that Mingyan came instead?

Isn't that oppa sick right now?
"Yeah, Jimin unnie, your uncle is driving us today, you can just wait downstairs." Kim Minjung's cheerful voice came through the microphone.

"Um... okay." Liu Zhimin hung up the phone in a daze: "Oh, I forgot to ask them how much longer they would take to arrive."

The girl raised her hand and touched her cheek. Since it was the weekend and she was going to the company for practice, she hadn't put on much makeup. Anyway, she looked good even without makeup. The abundance of collagen on a young person's face is the greatest beauty filter.

However, practicing is fine, but wouldn't it seem a bit too hasty to meet that oppa?
Liu Zhimin hurriedly returned to her room, grabbed the cosmetics from the table, haphazardly applied them to her face, and then rushed downstairs with her bag, seemingly busy with something.

The girl's hair was gently blown by the breeze, and the morning sunlight shone on her, outlining her beautiful figure.

Liu Zhimin looked at the cars coming and going on the street, trying to identify Mingyan's car.

If you think about it carefully, she has ridden in that oppa's car quite a few times, to Busan, to bungee jumping, and several times when she went out to play after returning to Seoul. She has almost gotten used to it.

Minjung is so lucky to have such a wonderful uncle who personally picks her up from school whenever he has free time.

"Jimin unnie, get in the car."

Just as Liu Zhimin was in a daze, a car stopped beside her, and Jin Minzheng rolled down the window and called out.

"Oh, oppa, good morning." Yoo Jimin grabbed her bag and got into the car. Her gaze first fell on Myung-yeon, who was driving, since this oppa was probably still a patient.

Mingyan didn't say anything, but just smiled and waved his hand.

Kim Minjung explained, "Jimin unnie, your uncle has a sore throat and can't speak right now."

"That……"

"Cough cough."

Mingyan gestured with his hands, indicating that not being able to speak was indeed troublesome.

If Kim Jisoo is around, I don't feel anything, but once she's not around, I feel really awkward.

"Oppa, are you saying that although you can't speak, you can still move around?" Yoo Jimin stared at Ming-yeon's movements, then asked uncertainly.

The man nodded vigorously: "Mmm-hmm."

This child seems quite intelligent. The "big thunder is brainless" rule probably doesn't apply to her. Hirai Momo's intelligence is likely due to some kind of reason, and has nothing to do with her figure.

Kim Minjung had just opened her mouth, before she could even begin to translate, when this older woman actually understood.

Amazing.

"This is what inflammation caused by a cold looks like," Yoo Jimin said to herself. "Oppa, you need to rest well these days. Have you gone to see a doctor?"

Ming nodded in agreement.

"That's good. Actually, getting better with an IV drip might be faster."

"Waaah." Mingyan made a drinking gesture.

"Taking medicine is fine too."

Kim Minjung looked at Yoo Jimin, who was speaking eloquently, with surprise. He hadn't realized that this older sister actually knew quite a bit about medical knowledge.

Liu Zhimin seemed to realize that she had said a bit too much: "My sister is a nurse at the hospital, and I often hear her talk about interesting things that happen at the hospital."

Mingyan pointed to himself.

"Oppa, the interesting thing I was talking about wasn't about you, although..."

Mingyan raised an eyebrow.

"It's really funny that you can't talk." Yoo Jimin pursed her lips, buried her head in Kim Minjung's shoulder and started laughing. She had never noticed before that this oppa's facial expressions were so rich.

Kim Minjung felt that ever since this older sister got into the car, he hadn't had much of a chance to speak.

The two of them communicate seamlessly.

Mingyan gestured for Liu Zhimin to tell him about the interesting things that happened in the hospital, as he was bored while driving. Liu Zhimin immediately understood what her oppa meant: "My sister told me before that there was a patient who walked in with a knife stuck in his head."

As the girl spoke, she gestured, indicating that the knife was stuck in her head.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

“Yeah, I didn’t believe it at the time either. A knife stuck in someone’s head and that person was gone.” Liu Zhimin seemed to understand what Mingyan meant: “Oppa, my sister even searched the news for me, and it really happened.”

Mingyan nodded and sighed, "Indeed, anything can happen in this world."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"That patient was actually fine afterward, and my sister said he was just lucky to survive."

"Waaaaah?" Mingyan turned his head and exchanged glances with Liu Zhimin, while also pointing a finger at the girl and then spinning around a few times.

"Oppa, are you asking me about my own experience with your sister's treatment?"

Mingyan nodded.

“My sister isn’t actually that much older than me.” Liu Zhimin leaned forward slightly. “By the time she became a full-fledged nurse, I had already grown up and had never been sick enough to need to go to the hospital.”

However, every time I catch a cold, she's eager to give me an injection.

As she spoke, the scene of her older sister approaching her with a wicked smile seemed to reappear before the girl's eyes.

Liu Zhimin strongly suspected that her sister was taking the opportunity to retaliate against her for the fight.

Mingyan shook his head vigorously, a look of disgust on his face.

"Right? I hate getting shots too. It's just a minor ailment that can be cured with medicine." Yoo Jimin's eyes lit up. This oppa actually understood her thoughts.

Mingyan pointed to his throat and then waved his hand.

In any case, it's best to avoid getting sick, as physical discomfort is something that can't be replaced.

He always told Jisoo and Nayeon, and later Minjung, that health is the foundation of everything, otherwise problems are likely to arise after debuting.

In the K-pop scene, it's not uncommon for people to take time off due to illness; it's a double torment for both the body and the mind.

“Yes, good health is the most important thing.” Liu Zhimin nodded in agreement: “I usually tell Minzheng and the others at the company that eating well and sleeping well are the most important things.”

The girl was clearly only eighteen years old, but she spoke to Mingyan as if they were peers.

Oh, right, Minjung.

Liu Zhimin hurriedly turned around and found Jin Minzheng staring at her with a surprised expression.

Damn it, she was having such a good time chatting with Mingyan that she completely forgot about her friend next to her.

“Jimin unnie, you are the second person who can communicate with my uncle without any problems.”

The little one has really broadened her horizons. Who says you can't communicate if you can't speak? She's seen two people chatting happily with Mingyan.

Liu Zhimin asked curiously, "Who was the first one?"

"Jisu-unnie."

It's no secret that Kim Jisoo and Lim Nayeon are close friends; it's been discussed countless times within SM's inner circle.

Liu Zhimin blushed slightly, unsure whether this was a compliment.

Mingyan gave Liu Zhimin a thumbs up. This kid is really amazing. He felt much less depressed because Kim Jisoo wasn't around. Even Kim Minjung couldn't fully understand every word he said.

"Oh dear." Liu Zhimin was about to take out her phone to check the time when she realized it was gone.

She rummaged around on her body for a while before finally remembering that she had put the phone on the cabinet by the door after hanging up with Kim Minjung.

Mingyan gestured, indicating that he could simply drive back to get it.

"Uncle, I've made an appointment with my vocal coach, so... could you take me to the company first?"
