Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 321 Taking advantage of the situation
Mingyan couldn't help but laugh on the way back.

He never dreamed that he would become rivals with Yoo Jeongyeon; it just goes to show how charming Lim Nayeon truly is.

The man originally planned to call Lim Nayeon, but then he changed his mind. Since Rabbit Teeth didn't say it directly, he was probably still shy, or he hadn't figured out how to say it.

Therefore, Mingyan decided to take the initiative at the right time.

Lim Na-yeon once pretended to be his girlfriend to solve a lot of troubles, and now it's time for her to repay the favor.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to directly invite Yu Dingyan out and then talk about random things; that might backfire.

Men must learn to grasp timing and rhythm.

Too fast, and the other person will be uncomfortable; too slow, and you won't be satisfied. Everything has to be just right.

"Hey, Jisoo, I heard something really interesting today."

From a young age, Mingyan always shared any happy news with Kim Jisoo as soon as possible.

"What's making you so happy?" Kim Jisoo noticed the hidden amusement in his tone and immediately perked up from her lazy state.

Mingyan thought for a moment and said, "Tsk, how should I explain it to you?"

He can't betray Lin Na-yeon yet, so he has to say it under a different guise.

"be honest."

"Let's say I like you, but I haven't confessed." Mingyan decided to use this as an example: "Then, Nayeon likes you too, what should you do in this situation?"

"Do I have to choose between the two of you?" Kim Jisoo's tone was full of helplessness.

Is this the end of the world? There are only these two people left in the whole world to choose from.

Mingyan paused for a moment, then revised the story's structure: "No, no, let me give you another example. If you like me, and Nayeon likes you, what would you do to avoid hurting Nayeon?"

"No, what exactly did you see today? It sounds so melodramatic."

It took Kim Jisoo a lot of effort to figure out the logic behind this. Shouldn't a normal story be that [she likes Mingyan, and Nayeon also likes Mingyan]?

How can one man and two women form a relationship like an ouroboros?

"Answer the questions first."

"I'll let you go after Nayeon."

"how about you?"

"I'll just watch the show. If you catch up, it proves that Nayeon's feelings for me are fake. If you fail, Nayeon will probably just let it go because she's embarrassed."

After thinking about it carefully, Mingyan realized that what this guy said actually made some sense.

To put it another way, it's roughly equivalent to asking me to pursue Yu Dingyan. Considering his relationship with his second sister, she definitely wouldn't agree, so let's fast forward to the second outcome.

Yoo Jeongyeon knew that Lim Nayeon liked her, and she confessed her feelings to her...

Whatever her reasons, the second sister will probably choose to keep her feelings to herself, unless she's willing to give up even their friendship.

There is another possibility: Yoo Jeongyeon might advise Lim Nayeon not to like her, but that would be riskier.

If we calculate it that way, Mingyan is tantamount to offering himself up to a tiger.

Yu Dingyan: Who are you calling a tiger?
This method has another advantage: it fits Mingyan's persona perfectly. A playboy would feel restless and uncomfortable if he didn't confess his love ten or eight times a day.

"Hey, who are you talking about?" Kim Jisoo's curiosity was practically bursting on the other end of the phone.

Of course, Mingyan couldn't tell the truth: "A friend, Jisoo, have you ever noticed anything strange about Nayeon?"

"No, Nayeon has been very busy lately. She mainly calls me to complain about the company. If anything seems off..." Kim Jisoo said with a half-smile, "she seems to be mentioning you more and more lately."

The three of them have known each other for over ten years and can be said to be the people who know each other best in the world. They can sense even the smallest changes.

The reason we don't notice some things is mainly because we haven't thought about them in that direction.

"Then I'm mentioning you more and more often."

"According to your story, it should be that Nayeon likes you, you like me, and I like Nayeon."

"Wow, so you like Nayeon?"

"Come on, it's not like you like me."

Mingyan and Kim Jisoo are like air to each other; they are allergic to any overly mushy words, especially words like "like".

"Okay, let's not talk about that. I was asking if anything seemed off when you slept with Nayeon before?" He needed to confirm if the rabbit teeth were double-pronged. "She said I was a restless sleeper."

"You really are a restless sleeper."

"ah!"

Mingyan hung up the phone decisively; he had already gotten what he wanted.

I need to think about how to handle the situation between Lim Nayeon and Yoo Jeongyeon.

……

"Uncle, why are you so absent-minded?"

Kim Minjung looked at Mingyan, who had just returned from the gym, and noticed that his uncle's expression was a bit off.

"No, I was thinking about something." Mingyan shuffled over to the sofa and sat down, still feeling a bit tired after finishing her workout.

"What are you thinking about?"

"How can we find you a few more aunts-in-law and have a few more children to keep you company?"

Men often tease their nieces about similar topics now, because the little one called him a jerk last time.

Even if it's true, you can't just say it directly.

Kim Minjung looked helpless: "Uncle, I've already apologized to you."

“I’m serious, having more people in the house means more life.” Mingyan tapped his niece on the head: “Don’t you want Jisoo, Jiwon, Nayeon, and Jimin to all be your aunts-in-law?”

"Why is Ji-min unnie here?"

"I just added it randomly, you can change it."

"Then why do you have to add one? Uncle, do you have a new target in mind?"

In Kim Minjung's memory, there were only three women he had a close relationship with: Kim Jisoo, Lim Nayeon, and Kim Jiwon. But he insisted on adding a fourth one.

This doesn't sound like nonsense.

"How could that be? Hehe, I'm going to sleep." Mingyan was thinking about Yu Dingyan, but thankfully she didn't blurt it out.

"Uncle!"

"Good night, Min-yeon."

……

The next few days were peaceful.

Ming Yan continued attending acting classes as usual, and also received an invitation for a second audition from Ahn Gil-ho. According to Jung Won-ryong, the production team is currently hesitating between him and another actor.

That one is more mature, but the director felt that Mingyan might bring more surprises to the audience.

Because they couldn't decide, they had to do another audition.

Mingyan has spoken with Lim Nayeon several times in the past few days. Rabbit Teeth frankly admitted that someone is pursuing her and that she wants to continue to get to know her.

This guy is with Yu Dingyan every day, how else can they possibly have any contact?

If we need to contact them again, we'll have to find a different place.

She seemed unwilling to listen to what Mingyan had to say, and every time she would hang up after only a few words about "pursuers".

"Hiss, what exactly is she trying to do?"

If Hirai Momo hadn't explained the details beforehand, Mingyan would have been quite uneasy, but the thought that the other party was Yu Dingyan calmed him down.

Rabbit Teeth might be trying to provoke him by obscuring his second sister's identity, which is perfect for him to do.

On the one hand, it went along with Lim Nayeon's wishes and helped advance their relationship; on the other hand, it also took the opportunity to resolve Yoo Jeongyeon's problem.

Both hands must be grasped and both hands must be strong.

Finally, one late night, Hirai Momo called.

"Oppa, Nayeon unnie is going to meet her suitor."
