Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 272 "Date"

"Minjung, shouldn't you have come with Jimin unnie today?"

Although Ning Yizhuo lives in the company dormitory, she sometimes arrives later than Jin Minzheng and the others.

This girl is good at making excuses. One day she missed the company's practice session. When the staff in the new employee development department asked her about it later, she insisted that she had not received any notification, and naturally, the matter was dropped.

Green card holders are bold; they take every day off.

However, Ning Yizhuo never neglected her important duties. She and Jin Minzheng were the two vocal teachers' favorite students among this group.

"Jimin unnie left her phone at home, and her uncle took her back to get it." Kim Minjung had just finished telling the teacher about this.

She was discovered by a talent scout in Liangshan through her dancing skills, so after joining the company, she intensively studied singing and often sought private tutoring from teachers.

Ning Yizhuo's big eyes lit up instantly: "Oppa?"

The mischievous maknae (youngest member) is the one in the group who is most enthusiastic about making jokes with Mingyan and Yoo Jimin.

"Yes, my uncle drove me and Jimin unnie here this morning."

Kim Minjung was quite helpless about his younger sister's reaction. He didn't know why Ning Yizhuo thought that Mingyan and Liu Zhimin could become lovers, although... that older sister and his uncle did have a good relationship.

For some reason, the image of Liu Zhimin and Mingyan communicating without any barriers suddenly appeared in the girl's mind.

Kim Ji-soo's friendship with Yoo Jimin spanned nearly twenty years, and it's surprising that Yoo Jimin could achieve the same level of skill.

“I see.” Ning Yizhu’s thoughts started to wander again: “Does that mean that oppa and Jimin unnie are alone together?”

"Hey, Ning Yijio, don't make such a fuss."

"A date, a date."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

……

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Mingyan pointed out the window, then pointed at Liu Zhimin.

Zhimin, you're pretty good at swearing too.

"Oppa, I only know those two words." The girl's cheeks flushed slightly, and after the initial excitement, an overwhelming sense of shyness washed over her.

"Shiba" and "dog cub" are indeed very common Korean swear words, and anyone who can speak them probably knows how to use them.

When foreigners learn a new language, the first thing they often learn is swear words.

Mingyan smiled and shook his head, then nodded.

There's nothing wrong with swearing, and there's no need to feel ashamed. Listening to a young and pretty girl swearing softly is much better than those weird road rage uncles and aunties.

Yoo Jimin looked somewhat surprised. Could it be that this oppa enjoys hearing her swear?
Weird habits.

After a long traffic jam, Mingyan finally drove the girl back to Liu Zhimin's building.

He gestured a few times: Zhimin, you go up, I'll wait for you down here.

"Oppa, thank you for your help. I'll be quick."

Liu Zhimin hurriedly got off the car.

If possible, she would like to invite Mingyan up for a visit, but there would definitely be someone at home at this time. To avoid unnecessary conversation, it would be better for her to go and come back quickly.

Moreover, Mingyan is currently unable to speak.

The man picked up his phone and scrolled through the news while waiting for Liu Zhimin to come down.

"Oh, they've even released the location where BLACKPINK filmed their variety show." Mingyan is quite sensitive to news involving Kim Jisoo, so it seems YG has already started marketing for the new girl group's first variety show after their debut.

Once my voice is better, I'll have to see how the collaboration negotiations are going.

As a popular actor, it's not easy for him to be a guest on BLACKPINK's variety show; there are many things to consider.

"TWICE sweeps the Gold Records..."

That's not surprising.

Based on TWICE's current popularity, they can be considered the number one active girl group. They have far surpassed their competitors in terms of sales, which is traditionally a disadvantage for girl groups.

The last girl group to achieve explosive sales was the legendary Girls' Generation.

However, Girls' Generation's sales figures back then were comparable to those of boy groups, a record that their juniors could only dream of. Although girl groups are now flourishing, the boy group scene has also produced a monster like BTS.

"PyeongChang Winter Olympics..."

Liu Zhimin carefully entered the password and entered her home.

Her mother should be exercising by now, her father is at work, and the only threat is her older sister who comes home from her night shift and goes to sleep.

If I wake that guy up, I definitely won't be able to justify it today.

"Ah, it's here after all."

The girl tiptoed back to her room and, sure enough, found her phone on the bed.

Just as Liu Zhimin was about to turn and leave, she suddenly remembered something, turned back and rummaged through the drawer until she found a small box before leaving satisfied.

……

"Oppa, I'm back~"

Liu Zhimin ran back to the car like the wind, not wanting Mingyan to wait for her for too long.

Mingyan looked at her questioningly, and only started the car after seeing the girl shake her phone. It was good that it hadn't been stolen.

"Oppa, this is for you." Yoo Jimin took out a small box she had brought from her room, poured out two candies, and handed them to Mingyan.

"?"

Men can express their doubts with facial expressions.

Liu Zhimin explained: "These are the throat lozenges I usually take. After practicing singing, I sometimes feel my throat is tight, so I like to suck on two of them after that."

Oppa, eating this might make you feel better.

Anyway, both cases involve a sore throat, so they're pretty much the same.

Mingyan smiled and expressed her gratitude, her eyes crinkling. This child is quite thoughtful.

"Oppa, your fake smile is so obvious right now," Yoo Jimin said with dissatisfaction. Who smiles so perfectly? It's obvious they're just teasing me.

Mingyan typed a few words on his phone.

Zhimin, I can't speak right now, so I'll make some exaggerated expressions to help you understand.

The girl was still a little unconvinced: "I could understand it anyway."

Mingyan gave a thumbs up, it was unclear whether he was praising or mocking Liu Zhimin. The traffic on the way back was much better, and they were able to drive much faster.

"Oppa, we're already late anyway..."

As Liu Zhimin looked at the increasingly familiar road, she leaned closer to Mingyan and muttered to herself.

The car slowed down, indicating that Mingyan was listening.

“I haven’t eaten breakfast yet since I got up this morning.” Liu Zhimin had clearly made up her mind: “Why don’t we go have breakfast first?”

Mingyan thought about it and realized that the child made sense.

As the saying goes, "Man is made of iron, food is made of steel; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal." Trainees already have high activity levels, and not eating can easily lead to stomach problems, which is no joke.

Most importantly, he was also a little hungry.

In the morning, because of a sore throat, Mingyan could only watch Kim Minjung eat until his belly was round.

The man tapped his phone screen and asked Liu Zhimin where they should eat.

“Let’s go eat soybean paste stew, oppa, you should be able to eat it too.” Yoo Jimin had already considered that Myung-eon was sick, and eating some hot soup would be just right for him.

Mingyan raised an eyebrow.

Liu Zhimin grinned.

If Kim Minjung saw this, he'd probably be amazed at how these two could get along so well.

Liu Zhimin's personality is both mature and childish. She acts like an older sister when taking care of her younger sisters, but she is as lively as a little girl when she is with Mingyan.

"Oppa, I'll treat you to dinner later."

Mingyan nodded and patted the steering wheel.

"Oh, you even want the fare? That's so ungentlemanly..."
