Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 334 Kim Ji-won: Students who don't pay attention in class will be punished.

Kim Ji-won graduated from the Department of Theater and Film at Dongguk University.

Her seniors include Girls' Generation's Yoona and Seohyun, who are a year older than Kim Ji-won and graduated a little later.

Mingyan said that when she was filming "The Heirs" with this older sister, she was still a junior in college.

On a side note, Kim Ji-won was initially trained as an idol trainee, and even trained for three years. Perhaps the company later realized that this pretty girl was not really cut out for singing and dancing.

Therefore, she seamlessly transferred to the acting department and has come this far.

"I also have the honor of teaching high-achieving students."

Mingyan's grades were just average when she was in school. Kim Jisoo graduated from high school, and Lim Nayeon got into university but didn't go.

Compared to that, Kim Ji-won's undergraduate degree certainly qualifies her as a high-achieving student.

"Don't give me that~" The girl knew this guy was teasing her.

As a teacher today, Mingyan believes the first thing to do is understand the student's goals: "Nuna, what level of Chinese do you want to learn?"

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Kim Ji-won to master Chinese, one of the most difficult languages to learn, in just a few days; she only needs to meet the business requirements.

"To be able to say hello, I'd also like to learn one or two rhymes," Kim Ji-won said, counting on her fingers. "Also, you need to help me write a speech."

"A speech draft?"

"It's the talk segment that's part of a fan meeting, and I want to talk about it in the local language."

The most important thing for celebrities is sincerity, and language is key to clearly expressing their feelings.

You say you love your fans every day, but you can't even speak a complete sentence. Isn't that a joke?

"Then you'll have to memorize the script."

"Well, so the number of words can't be too many, and the pronunciation can't be too difficult, otherwise I won't be able to remember them."

Kim Ji-won certainly didn't treat Ming-yeon like an outsider, and made several requests in one go.

"There are quite a few requirements." Mingyan already had a draft in mind. As an artist, speaking politely is a basic skill. All he had to do was translate Korean into Chinese.

Kim Ji-won's eyes flickered: "It's because I have an ex-boyfriend who speaks Chinese..."

"Noona, I'm definitely qualified to be a teacher, but shouldn't we talk about the compensation?"

"What do you want in return?"

Kim Ji-won wasn't surprised by what someone said; this guy had always been like that when he was pursuing her, shamelessly taking advantage of her.

The innocent girl had never seen anything like this before, and she was easily won over by Mingyan without even realizing it.

The man's eyes swept over the woman's moist lips: "Take a guess."

"No." Kim Ji-won understood someone's little scheme, but she still had a strong aversion to putting dirty things in her mouth, mainly because she couldn't get past that psychological hurdle.

She didn't even understand why Mingyan liked to be quick-witted, but because it was so enjoyable, she could only respect it.

“Nunna, I am your teacher. Respecting teachers is a traditional virtue of humankind.” Mingyan had his own twisted logic: “Besides, there is a saying: ‘A teacher for a day is a father for life.’”

"Well, that depends on your teaching effectiveness."

As the saying goes, even the most virtuous woman can be swayed by a persistent suitor. Kim Ji-won, being thin-skinned, naturally couldn't resist Ming-yan's relentless pursuit.

This guy keeps begging himself; if all else fails, he should give it a try.

Mingyan immediately perked up. Although he had never taught or mentored anyone, he knew he had to step up when the time came, otherwise he would miss a great opportunity.

The more arduous the process of achieving a goal, the sweeter the reward will be.

What he didn't expect was that his previous failed relationship turned into a glimmer of hope after the breakup.

“Noona, come on, let’s start with a simple dialogue, such as, ‘Hello, my name is Kim Ji-won.’”

Mingyan's teaching emphasizes a gradual approach.

Hello, thank you, and I love you are the standard three phrases used by Korean celebrities when addressing their Chinese fans. Only by building upon these can they learn to go further.

"Hello, my name is Kim Ji-won." The girl repeated Mingyan's words slowly and deliberately. She could tell that the pronunciation of the three characters Kim Ji-won in Chinese was somewhat similar to that in Korean.

"Thank you."

"Thank you~"

"I love you."

Kim Ji-won stared into the man's eyes and said, word by word, "I love you." She knew what those three words meant; Ming-yan had said "I love you" when he confessed his feelings, and he had said it very loudly.

Later, when the two started dating, they made it clear that every day when they left or returned home, they would call out "Noona, I love you" as a standard greeting.

But can such clear-cut words still be spoken today?
"I think I've said this many times before, haven't I?" The man felt a pang of shame for a moment; he could see the heart of this older sister in Kim Ji-won's eyes.

Mingyan is not the kind of scoundrel who would betray his sincerity.

It is true that they cherish it as a treasure, and it is also true that there is more than one treasure.

"I want to hear more."

"Nuna, I love you."

I felt a mixture of liking, pity, and a touch of guilt.

Kim Ji-won read a lot from Myung-eon's eyes.

This is not a superpower; what people see in their eyes is the starry sky in their hearts.

Fortunately, Kim Ji-won saw her own star, which is still shining brightly.

The distance between the two people grew closer and closer without them realizing it. The girl tilted her head back and kissed her Chinese teacher.

With thunder and lightning striking the earth and a pagoda suppressing a river demon, how could one possibly concentrate on studying? The once clear and melodious reading voices immediately turned into the sounds of lips and teeth clapping, making one blush and one's heart race.

Mingyan was already furious because of Lim Nayeon's provocation, and now she was completely enraged.

Kim Ji-won is like a gentle stream of water, forcefully embracing someone's rage.

"Noona, I have one more Chinese phrase to teach you." Mingyan patted the older sister's butt.

Comparing the two, Lim Na-yeon's butt is more perky. Kim Ji-won is an actress, so she's not as strict with her figure management and daily exercise as an idol.

For actors, shaping their physique according to the role is a matter of professional ethics. Kim Ji-won will probably only start thinking about losing weight when she receives her next role.

The girl has become much more plump since the end of "Fight for My Way." After all, she has no worries and can get intimate with the person she likes from time to time. Her life couldn't be more comfortable.

Of course, it would be even better if someone agreed to get back together.

"what?"

Kim Ji-won twisted her waist. This guy just loves to be mischievous, always making me do this or that at crucial moments.

Mingyan revealed a wicked smile: "Teacher."

He used Chinese, and this word sounds better in Chinese and Japanese. The Korean teacher's pronunciation was a bit awkward, and it didn't feel right.

"What, what do you mean?" Kim Ji-won had used many nicknames before, such as oppa and father, but this was the first time she had used one.

"What the teacher means."

"You..." Kim Ji-won wanted to resist a little, but Ming-yan's words, even the slightest movement, drained all her strength: "Teacher~"

"Tell me, do you still want to learn Chinese?"

"Want to learn."

"Tell me in more detail, what do you want to learn?"

"I want to learn Chinese with a teacher."
