Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 293 Unnie, what's with these stockings?

Kim Jisoo frowned slightly.

What does "替" mean?
For some reason, she felt that her friend's wording was strange, as if her words were something private.

"Nayeon, he's not a child anymore, what's the use of watching him?"

Jisoo covered the microphone of her phone to avoid the noise outside, while Rosé and Minjeong were chatting happily.

"Jisoo, you know that guy well. If no one's watching him, who knows what might happen." Lim Nayeon hesitated for a moment, then chose a vague statement.

That is, she wanted Kim Jisoo to watch over something.

Ex-girlfriend, or all women, what is the status of looking at them, not to mention the word "substitute" in between.

Kim Jisoo glanced at Mingyan, who was talking to Jennie next to her, and said, "Don't worry, Jiwon unnie isn't here. He's here as a guest on my variety show today."

"variety show?"

"Yeah, our group variety show, didn't I tell you about it before?"

Lim Nayeon is arguably the girl's best friend in the entertainment industry, given their deep friendship built over elementary school years.

Although Mingyan helped them a lot, the two girls also relied on each other. During their tough trainee period, Kim Jisoo often called Lim Nayeon to talk about private topics between girls.

For example, they might criticize the company, complain about weird colleagues, or even jointly deal with love letters they receive.

One of them debuted at the age of twenty, and the other at the age of twenty-one. They were already famous among their fellow trainees when they were seventeen or eighteen.

Oh, right, there were also trainees from the same cohort who tried to give Mingyan love letters because of their relationship, but she rejected them all.

There are plenty of fish in the sea, but I can't even get enough of the ones right next to me.

"I remember now, but you didn't say before that this guy would be a guest." Lim Nayeon's tone still carried a hint of doubt.

"I only found out today, so it's probably a surprise."

Kim Jisoo recalled Park Chaeyoung's joking remark about "Snow White Prince," and said that although it didn't actually have anything to do with the words "snow" or "prince," the surprise was indeed quite nice.

It's nice to have this guy with me on my first group variety show.

The two of them hadn't skied together in a long time.

"surprise……"

"Yeah, we're eating out right now, do you want to come?"

"Have a meal……"

“Minjung is here too; she’s already started learning to ski.”

“Minjung went too…”

Lim Nayeon never expected that a casual phone call would be met with a barrage of attacks, especially since Kim Jisoo delivered it in such a natural tone.

Damn it, have I been living like this for the past ten years?
Life is too hard.

"Nayeon, Nayeon, why aren't you saying anything?" Kim Jisoo shook her phone in confusion.

She even checked from a distance, otherwise she would have thought the call had been disconnected.

"Hehe, it's nothing, I won't go, I have plans tomorrow." Lim Nayeon felt like she'd punched cotton, which was quite unpleasant: "Jisoo, give him the phone."

"Oh~"

Mingyan took the phone: "Hey, Nayeon, if you want some late-night snacks, I'll buy some and bring them over to you. They'll be perfect for digesting after dinner."

He's not so busy right now, so he can take care of his friend's logistical work. It would be great if he could help out.

"I……"

Lim Nayeon was really holding it in.

This couple always uses the same tactics: they keep their words stuck in their throats and can't get them out, but swallowing them makes them uncomfortable.

"Hot dog, or jajangmyeon ramen, would you like a drink?" Mingyan rattled off a whole list of things that Lim Nayeon liked to eat.

"Hey, I'm an idol, is it okay to eat these things at night?" Lim Nayeon couldn't bear to listen anymore. She could see the suffering of not being able to eat, and she had already eaten a lot. There was no need to repeat herself about food.

Rabbit Teeth was so distracted by this guy that he forgot what he wanted to say.

The man shook his head: "Alright, then you should get some rest so you don't wake up again in the early hours of the morning."

"Yes, I'll go to bed early, you eat your food!"

Lim Nayeon put down her phone in a daze, picked up a pillow and started hitting it wildly, as if she mistook it for some hateful bastard.

She's increasingly believing Kim Ji-won's words, and she's even hinted that Kim might be facing the same dilemma she's experiencing.

No, we can't let that happen!

……

Meanwhile, Kim Ji-won is also going through a tribulation.

"Unnie, is it okay if I stay here tonight?"

Having just returned from the United States, Krystal Jung was lounging lazily on the sofa in Kim Ji-won's home, her posture somewhat resembling Mingyan's.

"No, no." Kim Ji-won nodded. It's normal for friends to come over to stay. Jung Soo-jung only didn't come often during the time when she was dating Myung-yeon.

The two met while filming "The Short Legged's Counterattack".

At that time, Kim Ji-won was nineteen years old, and Jung Soo-jung was only seventeen. Later, they filmed "The Heirs" together and naturally became best friends.

Krystal Jung doesn't actually have many friends in the entertainment industry, and Kim Ji-won is one of them.

Kim Ji-won got up and went to the room to rummage through her bedding: "Why did you come back from America early? Did you finish your vacation?"

Her younger friend goes on vacation to the United States with her family every year to ski, hike, shop, and relax. They live a very carefree and comfortable life.

Krystal Jung hasn't neglected her work either; she had two dramas released last year, but neither was her lead role.

"My sister is currently contacting new companies, so I came back as soon as she returned." Jung Soo-jung casually fiddled with her hair. Although the girl had a cool and aloof face, she was actually a complete sister-obsessed person.

Because of some issues with her sister and the group, she had to lose her stage at the prime age of twenty-one.

Krystal Jung's acting career hasn't been bad, but many fans are still waiting for their idol to sing again.

Is Jessica unnie signing with a new company?

“I’ve only been in contact with her, and I don’t know anything about her situation.” Krystal Jung suddenly sat up and pulled her friend close to her: “Ji-won unnie, let’s talk about you.”

"I, what's wrong with me?"

Kim Ji-won's tone still sounded somewhat awkward.

She and Mingyan are currently in an ambiguous relationship. Although she has no grievances, Jung Soo-jung does not have a very good impression of him.

“You and Mingyan, right?” Krystal Jung’s birthday is a month older than Mingyan’s, so the two are peers.

Kim Ji-won tried to keep her tone calm: "The two of us... well, that's how it is, we've already broken up anyway."

"Didn't you want to get back together?"

"Getting back together isn't up to me. Ugh, let's not talk about this."

Kim Ji-won was afraid that her next sentence would give her away, mainly because it would be difficult to explain.

"Ji-won unnie, you were the one who kept me talking before." Jung Soo-jung looked at her older sister suspiciously.

When Kim Ji-won first broke up with her boyfriend, she was extremely depressed and kept repeating my words. As a result, she got the chance to work with him on "Fight for My Way," and news of their collaboration spread all over the internet.

The situation seemed great, so why did she suddenly refuse to talk?

Kim Ji-won abruptly changed the subject: "Soo-jung, you should wear this pajama tonight."

"Okay... Unnie, what's with these stockings?"
