Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 316: Eating what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot.

"Nayeon, I was just about to call you."

Mingyan has noticed that Rabbit Teeth's clinginess has increased dramatically recently.

However, he was happy to see this phenomenon, after all, it was a very happy thing to have a sweet girl give him an ear massage every day.

Lim Na-yeon is definitely different from others.

"Why did you call me?" the girl asked, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

Many idols choose to relieve the pressure from their careers by dating, because a single word from someone they like can dispel all the gloom.

If the level of a typical couple's relationship is like readily available cold medicine, then Mingyan's relationship is at the level of a supreme elixir.

Great tonic.

"Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?"

"Hmph, that's only because I call you more often~"

Lim Nayeon unconsciously adopted a coquettish tone, after all, the person on the other end of the phone was her future boyfriend whom she had liked for a long time.

Ever since the girl made up her mind, she has become increasingly unable to hide it, and she can't wait to remove the word "future" from her mind.

Long-term repression will not disappear; it will only erupt more violently over time.

You can't hold it in.

Kim Ji-won:?

Mingyan laughed: "Nayeon, you have too many schedules. Even if I call you, I don't know when would be a good time."

When Twice gets busy, they're completely absorbed in their work, and even Lim Nayeon herself probably doesn't know when they'll have a break.

"If it's you, any time is fine." Rabbit Teeth has been saying sweet nothings lately, intentionally or unintentionally, to avoid the other person not knowing what will happen before she even confesses her feelings.

The transformation from friendship to love takes time.

At least, Lim Nayeon felt that a certain ambiguous atmosphere had been cultivated between her and Mingyan, since she would never have said anything like that before.

"I often wake Jisoo up in the middle of the night to pee, do you want to do that too?"

"want!"

Whatever it is, what Kim Jisoo has, Lim Nayeon also wants.

"Ahem, I'll call you next time too, but don't swear then." Mingyan coughed lightly. "I just came back from Zhixiu's place. We were discussing the house."

Lim Nayeon immediately perked up her two bunny ears: "What did Jisoo say?"

She now ranks Kim Jisoo second on her list of threats, second only to the despicable Kim Ji-won.

However, the girl set the level of bond between Mingyan and Kim Jisoo to the maximum, one hundred points, but put a question mark in the "feelings" column.

Even the clever rabbit-tooth couldn't quite figure out the relationship between the two. Was it unrequited love, mutual attraction, or just good buddies? All of these explanations seemed plausible.

The girl had struggled with the decision, but she quickly let it go.

It doesn't matter what others think; as long as Lim Na-yeon is clear about her own feelings, that's enough.

She said that I don't earn money easily and that she plans to lend me several hundred million yuan to buy a house.

"Pah, I'd be a fool to believe you."

"Isn't my idea for a vacation villa in Jeju Island good? What will Jeongyeon say when she goes back?"

"Why do you always try to drag Jeongyeon into this? I have money too."

Despite being busy, Twice's bank account balance kept growing.

Lim Nayeon has only been in the industry for a little over two years, but she is already a well-off young lady. After all, there aren't many girl groups that can make four comebacks in a year.

"Isn't your money going to buy your parents a car?" Mingyan knew that Rabbit Teeth was a very filial daughter: "It's better to save your money."

"Anyway, I have money. Just tell me how much you need. No need to bother Jisoo and the others." Lim Nayeon couldn't be happier to have this spot all to herself.

What is money?
Money is worthless; you can just spend it and earn more.

"Why does it sound like I'm a kept man?"

"Then hurry up and come into Nuna's arms. You should at least have some professionalism after taking the money."

Lim Nayeon knows how to play along, and her words are subtly alluding to someone. If this guy can be won over with money, everything will become much simpler, and neither Kim Jisoo nor Kim Jiwon can compete with her.

BLACKPINK's comeback frequency is too low; how can they make money while staying in their company dorm rooms?

As for the other one, actors' earning power is incomparable to that of popular idols, since their monetization channels are limited.

Kim Ji-won: I can smoke other things, but that's only a limited amount.

"Alright, stop fooling around. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. I still have homework to hand in to the teacher later." Ahn Hyuk-mo is the kind of strict teacher who assigns homework to his celebrity students.

This is something that Mingyan both loves and hates.

Before hanging up the phone, Rabbit Teeth immediately asked, "Wait, have you been in contact with Ji-won unnie lately?"

"Have."

"What did you say?"

"Nayeon, this is a matter of personal privacy."

"Can't I even ask?"

"Are you sure you want to listen?"

"You stingy guy, don't bother me next time you pretend to be your girlfriend."

Hmph, if I'm going to do it, I'll do it seriously. Let's see what Kim Ji-won can do then. She can't possibly put me down based on seniority.

……

Mingyan was holding his phone, lost in thought.

As a seasoned player in the world of women, even if he was slow to notice, he could sense certain changes in Lim Nayeon.

More proactive, more direct, and bolder.

If we disregard their decade-long friendship, they are currently in a classic ambiguous phase, and there are some things that friends shouldn't say to each other.

Mingyan originally wanted to talk to Kim Jisoo about this today, but he swallowed the words back.

It's hard to say.

Whether pure friendship exists between men and women is a grand question in itself. Compared to Kim Jisoo, who grew up with him, there is a greater sense of distance between him and Lim Nayeon.

It was precisely this sense of distance that allowed Mingyan to have unspeakable dreams and made Lim Nayeon realize her feelings.

Mingyan isn't the kind of person who dares to think but not to act. His relationship with Rabbit Teeth is no longer just a simple friendship; it's more like a state of "you understand my unspoken words, and I understand your unspoken meaning."

The problem is, how should I handle my relationship, or rather, my feelings, with Lim Na-yeon?

The simplest way is to date openly and honestly. If you like me and I like you, what else can we do but date?

However, unlike his ex-girlfriends, Lim Na-yeon's friendship of over ten years had bound them together before the red thread of love could be tied. It would be such a pity if they had to cut it off together in the end.

More importantly, how will Kim Jisoo view this?
If a friendship of three people is broken up and one of the couples falls in love, wouldn't the remaining three be heartbroken?

Mingyan didn't want to hurt Kim Jisoo's feelings, and he didn't want to have a relationship that rejected her.

And then there's Kim Ji-won... that older sister's gentleness and deep affection have long captivated men, and she's definitely not someone they can easily give up on.

I don't want to throw this away, and I still want that too.

While eating, carrying things in their hands, they also had to keep an eye on the uncooked food in the pot.

He's not only greedy, but he also wants to chew everything up and swallow it whole, so we need to find ways to prevent indigestion.

"Nayeon, Jiwon, Jisoo..." Mingyan kept repeating these three names to himself, but what he was thinking most was what Kim Jisoo would think.

How would that guy view the deterioration of his relationship with Lim Na-yeon?

However, we can put Jisoo aside for now; the most important thing right now is Nayeon.

Based on his understanding of the girl's rabbit teeth, he realized that her attitude was becoming increasingly clear, and who knew what she might do next? He knew that passively responding to her actions could easily lead to problems.

If you want everything, you must distinguish between primary and secondary issues and grasp the priorities.

"How about I take the initiative myself?"
