Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 285 Jisoo unnie, have you and oppa been here before?

Kim Minjung was in a very good mood all day.

Skiing! This is the first time she's ever gone skiing in her life.

"Minjung, why are you so happy?"

Liu Zhimin braced herself on her knees, breathing heavily.

The company's selection of trainees to film materials for the family concert has greatly encouraged them, making their dream of debuting seem within reach.

Debuting with SM Entertainment signifies success.

Even though none of today's top groups come from SM, the company's long-standing foundation is undeniable, and it's the only one that can consistently hold family concerts every year.

Bringing out those old groups to sell nostalgia is still a top-notch weapon.

"Jimin unnie, I'm going skiing with my uncle tonight." Kim Minjung smiled sweetly, her eyes crinkling.

"ski?"

"Hmm, this is the first time I've ever gone skiing in my life." Kim Minjung asked curiously, "Jimin unnie, can you ski?"

Liu Zhimin finally caught her breath: "I don't know how."

"I'll teach you next time after I learn it today."

Kim Minjung proudly tilted his head back and reluctantly patted the older sister's shoulder.

Liu Zhimin has grown very quickly and is now close to 1.7 meters tall, which is four or five centimeters taller than Jin Minzheng.

"Hmph, when it's my birthday, I'll definitely pick something you can't do." Liu Zhimin had been keeping in mind the birthday challenge Mingyan had promised her.

Bungee jumping and skiing are definitely out of the question; she'll have to think about it some more, but there's still time.

"By the way, Jimin unnie, why didn't Chaehyun come today?"

"She's probably not in a good mood, after all, not being selected for this shoot was quite a blow."

……

"Jisoo unnie, you and Jennie unnie took a bath together before you even debuted?"

Park Chae-young looked around curiously; this was her first time visiting a "charcoal cellar" in Korea.

Rose is of Korean descent, born in New Zealand and raised in Australia. She doesn't know much about Korea, unlike Jennie, who only studied abroad for a few years and is essentially Korean.

“Yes, we were very honest with each other back then,” Jennie picked up the conversation, telling her two curious younger sisters about the past.

She and Kim Jisoo were trainees at a relatively early age and have known each other for a longer time, experiencing many things together.

Does being completely honest mean wearing absolutely nothing?

Park Chaeyoung covered her mouth in shock.

She wasn't used to showering with someone she'd only recently met.

Jisoo couldn't take it anymore: "Who wears clothes while showering? But it's not as exaggerated as Jennie made it out to be~"

At least, the two girls won't stare at each other.

"Do we have to take off our clothes later?" Park Chae-young hesitated, she wasn't prepared for it.

“Chaeyoung, you’re overthinking it.” Lisa put her arm around her friend’s shoulder. “We’re here to film a variety show, not to actually take a bath. If you like it, we can come alone next time.”

As members of the same team and being of similar age, their relationship is naturally closer.

"Okay then~"

Park Chaeyoung couldn't tell whether she was happy or not; her mind was constantly on the fact that Myung-yeon would appear as a surprise guest that night.

Damn, time is passing so slowly; keeping a secret is unbearable.

Kim Jisoo was completely unaware: "Chaeyoung, let's go change our clothes."

They weren't there to take a bath, but if you're filming a variety show, you have to act like you're filming a variety show.

Park Chaeyoung fiddled with the towel in her hand like a curious child. She noticed that other people seemed to wear it on their heads, like a hat.

“Chaeyoung, let me teach you how to make a ‘ram’s horn hat’.” Kim Jisoo looked at her younger sister, who seemed like a curious child, and reached out to take her towel and place it in front of her.

Although her thought process can be a bit eccentric at times, she mostly acts like a very older sister.

BLACKPINK doesn't have a leader, so Jisoo, as the eldest member, has to shoulder more responsibility. "Okay."

Park Chaeyoung sat obediently to the side, carefully observing Kim Jisoo's every move.

“Lisa, listen to this too.” Kim Jisoo patiently taught her two younger sisters: “First fold it in half, then fold it in half again, and finally tie the two sides together, it’s about like this.”

Park Chae-young followed her older sister's steps exactly, but the folded-up item looked like a large headscarf when she put it on her head.

Lisa burst out laughing and fell to the ground; it was so funny.

"I'll do it."

Kim Jisoo smiled and shook her head.

"Jisoo unnie, I want to buy something to eat, will you come with me?" Park Chaeyoung haphazardly put the "ram's horn hat" she had made on her head and started to act cute, pulling on Kim Jisoo's arm.

In any bathing culture, food is an essential part.

"Let's go." Kim Jisoo patted her bottom and stood up. "Jennie, Lisa, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it all together."

"I want to eat dumplings."

I'll eat whatever Chae-young eats.

This child is easy to raise and isn't picky about food at all.

"Jisoo unnie, I want to eat everything I see." Park Chaeyoung arrived at the food stall, her eyes almost dazzled by the sights: "Corn, eggs, oh, and jajangmyeon ramen."

As a popular idol who debuted a year ago, Rose is quite down-to-earth when it comes to food.

I just want to try everything that looks like it.

"Then let's buy everything. Eggs are a must, and two fish cake sticks too." Kim Ji-soo, a local Korean, skillfully placed her order.

Park Chaeyoung asked cautiously, "Jisoo unnie, have you come here with Myung-eon oppa before?"

The child isn't stupid; he knows to avoid talking about this with others.

She was afraid that if there were too many people around, she wouldn't be able to contain herself and would reveal tonight's surprise.

“We’ve been here before. Me, Nayeon, and I often come here to relax.” Kim Jisoo held the groceries in both hands. “Steaming here is good for relaxing, that’s what he said.”

"Is it the kind where you don't wear clothes?"

"Hey, we're all dressed right now. A sauna and a bath are different things." Kim Jisoo was both amused and exasperated. If she didn't have something in her hands, she would have loved to smack her younger sister on the head.

Besides BLACKPINK, who filmed their variety show, this "charcoal kiln" also had other customers, both men and women.

What do you guys do when you go to a sauna?

"Um...the competition."

"Contest?"

"We'll have a competition in a room at 100 degrees Celsius to see who can last the longest."

Kim Jisoo seemed to recall the time when the three of them were bickering together: Lim Nayeon, who had very poor heat tolerance; Myung-eon, who was covered in sweat but insisted that she was fine; and herself, who loved to use someone's head as an egg beater.

To eat eggs in a charcoal cellar, you have to crack them open with your own head to make them authentic.

Of course, Kim Jisoo never uses her own brain.

“100 degrees…” Park Chaeyoung stuck out her tongue. She had felt unbearably hot in the 90-degree sauna just now. “Unnie, what’s the punishment for losing?”

"No."

"What kind of competition is that?"

"It's just for fun, why does it have to be about winning or losing?"

Anyway, she and Lim Nayeon have never lost to Mingyan, even though someone is always the one who persists to the very end.

Kim Jisoo prefers to lie on the floor in a warm room and have a good sleep.

Then, when I opened my eyes, I saw Mingyan's face, which was also flushed from sleeping.

How do I describe that feeling again?

Peace of mind.
