Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 294 Psychology Master Kim Ji-won.

"Ah, um... I just bought it randomly."

Kim Ji-won frantically tried to stuff her stockings somewhere.

Oh dear, Krystal Jung's arrival was a bit too sudden; she didn't even have time to hide anything that might give her away.

"You just bought it randomly?" Krystal Jung's face was full of disbelief. This older sister would never wear something like that in private, unless... unless it was for someone else to see.

Kim Ji-won blushed and said, "I'm a celebrity, so it's normal for me to wear whatever I want."

She actually has quite a few stocking looks in TV dramas, but she rarely wears them in real life.

"Ji-won unnie, your pajamas used to have cartoon patterns, have you switched to these deep V-neck pajamas now?"

Krystal Jung wasn't satisfied with just talking; she directly reached out and tugged at Kim Ji-won's pajamas.

Wow, I didn't know until I saw it. This woman has changed quite a bit. The change in her clothing style is secondary; the most important thing is that she has a more mature, wifely air about her.

Even Krystal Jung couldn't quite describe what a "married woman" truly meant.

However, Kim Ji-won's hairstyle and gentle, quiet demeanor perfectly matched her stereotype.

"Hey, Soojung, don't touch me like that."

Kim Ji-won dodged her friend's groping hands by stepping back a few times.

This is the first time anyone other than Jung Soo-jung has seen her since she changed her pajama style. I didn't expect Jung Soo-jung to have such a keen sense of things.

"Ji-won unnie, have you contacted that guy again?" Jung Soo-jung isn't stupid, and she quickly guessed the reason.

Stockings, sexy pajamas...

The saying goes that women dress up for those they love, and Kim Ji-won's drastic change is clearly for a certain man. Perhaps the two of them have already rekindled their romance while she was away.

Putting aside everything else, his sweet talk is indeed very impressive; his smooth-talking skills are generally irresistible.

More importantly, that guy was really good to Kim Ji-won; even she couldn't find much fault with him.

Kim Ji-won hesitated for a moment: "We only ended our collaboration not long ago, what do you mean by 'we've gotten back in touch'?"

One of her biggest hobbies these days is browsing online groups for her and Mingyan's pairing. Many people's opinions there are very insightful, and there are even fans who have compiled a list of Mingyan's double standards.

It's basically a direct comparison of Kim Ji-won's behavior with that of other actresses.

"Hmph, we're a proper boyfriend and girlfriend~"

Whenever the girl sees similar posts, she is reminded of the time when "Descendants of the Sun" was filmed; those were truly memorable days.

"Ji-won unnie, I mean, is that guy again..." Jung Soo-jung didn't want to be too explicit, but these two were very familiar with everything they did.

"Soojung, I've never given up on him."

Kim Ji-won knew she had to reassure her younger sister, otherwise she would keep asking questions and she wouldn't have a peaceful night.

Krystal Jung muttered, "If he can be so heartless as to break up with you, then what's there to miss?"

“Hey, Soojung, I think he had his reasons for breaking up with me.”

"what?"

Krystal almost doubted that she could understand Korean; she really couldn't comprehend the thought process of someone so obsessed with love.

“He’s a bit of an awkward person. He likes to be nice to people, but he’s also afraid of people being nice to him.” Kim Ji-won sat cross-legged on the sofa, enthusiastically sharing her analysis with her friend: “He chose to break up with me because he liked me.”

"Wait, Jiwon unnie, do you have a fever?" Jung Soo-jung raised her hand and touched the older sister's forehead.

You're fine, no fever, so why are you talking nonsense? This is a serious case of PUA (Pick-Up Artist tactics).

"Soojung, I'm serious."

"I don't understand. If he liked you, why did he choose to break up?"

Kim Ji-won frowned slightly, as if organizing the words in her mind: "Because he's afraid, afraid that I don't like him enough, and afraid that I really want to be with him. Once that guy detects any similar signs, he'll immediately retreat to his familiar place."

I've had countless ex-girlfriends, but few of them were serious. So I've made it clear that I can break up with someone whenever I want, and we can part amicably.

However, Kim Ji-won is different; she takes relationships seriously.

"Isn't that still being a jerk? He breaks up with a girl and runs away as soon as he realizes she's serious." Krystal Jung didn't see any difference in what her older sister was saying.

"He just lacks a sense of security."

"Ji-won unnie, so you mean..."

“I can give him a sense of security.” Kim Ji-won’s eyes were very firm, making Jung Soo-jung start to doubt herself: “Soo-jung, I really want to get back together with him.”

Between good friends, some things should be said openly, otherwise it would be even more troublesome if Krystal Jung found out herself.

Of course, key details are omitted, such as the fact that the two have already slept together and that the stockings are mainly for the guy to see, which are all private matters.

"Sigh, I really don't see what's so great about him. He's just a bit handsome."

Krystal Jung is speechless; the saintly aura emanating from this woman is almost blinding her.

"Soojung, aren't you friends with him too?" Kim Jiwon knew that Kim Minjung had been taken to the SM audition by her good friend.

"I... well, if we don't talk about feelings, Mingyan is indeed not bad."

Krystal Jung is straightforward and wouldn't slander someone without reason. She just didn't want to see her good friend cry because of a man anymore.

“That’s right, he’s not a bad person.” Kim Ji-won smiled. “I’ve heard some things from the sidelines. His awkward personality is related to his family, but the situation is more complicated.”

The girl's approach to Kim Min-jung wasn't entirely about currying favor; she also inquired about a lot of information about Ming-yan.

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

Intelligence determines her next move. For example, if she doesn't understand the deep connection between Kim Jisoo, Lim Nayeon, and Mingyan, she won't be able to form alliances or accurately pinpoint Rabbit Teeth's secrets.

Mingyan's safe zone is Kim Jisoo.

That is a special position that no one else can replace.

"Alright, alright, Ji-won unnie, I'm not going to listen to your dear ex-boyfriend's personality analysis anymore."

Krystal covered her ears, interrupting Ji-won's incessant chatter, saying it was almost time to take a shower and go to bed.

"Soojung, I still have so much to say."

"You didn't say it, but I've already heard it all." It's nothing more than this older sister feeling that she's special and can use love to make up for Mingyan's personality flaws.

Honestly, this story sounds familiar.

Kim Ji-won sighed with some regret. She had wanted to have a long talk with Jung Soo-jung by candlelight: "Alright then, Soo-jung, change your clothes and go to bed early."

"I don't wear such sexy pajamas."

"Soojung, it looks like you can't wear this..."

"Hey, Ji-won unnie!"
