Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 374 How about we call Jisoo and Jiwon over?

Nayeon's smile froze for a moment.

She felt that Liu Zhimin's words had a hidden meaning.

Rabbit Tooth's extensive experience told him that the meal to come might not be so simple.

Lim Nayeon glanced at Mingyan, who was driving, and smiled faintly: "I remember that trainees need to manage their figure, right? Is it really okay for you to eat barbecue?"

"Yeah, Jimin unnie, let's go to another place." Kim Minjung already has PTSD from dieting, so rather than going through that painful process again, she'd rather control her diet in the meantime.

Barbecue, it's not that I don't love you, I just can't help it.

Ning Yizhuo didn't care what she ate; she just blinked her big eyes and kept scanning back and forth between Liu Zhimin and Lin Nayeon.

"Then let oppa make the order. He knows a lot of good places to eat."

Liu Zhimin did not insist, as if she had only made a very ordinary suggestion.

Lim Nayeon raised an eyebrow: "Hey~ Jimin is asking you, what are we going to eat?"

She gleaned a lot from the child's words; the two might be closer than she had imagined.

That damn bastard, how come he's so attractive to young girls?

"Let's have Japanese food then."

He made a clear and decisive decision.

With a thousand mouths to feed, only one person is in charge. This topic has already been discussed among the girls, so it's time to listen to your own opinion.

The man didn't even change the navigation, clearly indicating that he had already decided on his destination when he set off.

"How did you find this store?" Lim Nayeon looked at the address on the navigation; it looked familiar.

“I heard it from Momo,” Mingyan replied casually. “She strongly recommended that we go to this place, otherwise it would be a real shame. Today, we can all try it.”

He and Momo Hirai work at the same gym and see each other every few days. Their most frequent topic of conversation is food.

Mingyan often had to attend social events, while Hirai Momo was driven by pure interest and hobby, so they hit it off immediately.

Lim Nayeon nodded: "That's what I was saying."

This is indeed something Hirai Momo would do.

Liu Zhimin sat in the back row, quietly observing the interaction between Mingyan and Lin Nayan.

She never expected to run into this oppa at the movie theater entrance. A man and a woman watching a movie alone, could it be...?

"Nayeon unnie, we've been practicing your comeback song lately, What is Love~" Ning Yizhuo chatted enthusiastically with Lim Nayeon, and even sang a line a cappella as she spoke.

Rabbit Teeth glanced at the younger girl in surprise: "You sing quite well!"

A single line of lyrics may not reveal much, but it can still give you a glimpse into your basic skills.

"Unnie, you can just call me Ningning."

Although Ning Yizhuo has not yet debuted, she already has her own stage name as a member of SM ROOKIES.

Otherwise, it would be a bit difficult for Koreans to pronounce Ning Yizhuo's name correctly; they would just pronounce it as Ning Yijio.

"Ningning, are you interested in joining JYP? Our company is pretty good too." Lim Nayeon joked along, trying to lighten the mood.

Compared to SM Entertainment, JYP Entertainment's girl groups clearly have a higher concentration of green card holders.

From distant examples like Meng Jia and Wang Feifei from MISS A, to more recent ones like TWICE, where foreigners make up four-ninths of the student body.

Kim Minjung felt he should speak up: "Unnie~ Ningning is my teammate."

“What about Jimin? Such a pretty young girl, she’ll definitely debut as the visual at JYP.” Nayeon emphasized the word “young” as if it were an accident. “By the way, I haven’t asked Jimin how old she is yet.”

"Nayeon unnie, I was born in April 2000, and I'm nineteen years old."

"Ah, still a child."

In South Korea, the age of adulthood is 20, so what Lim Na-yeon said isn't wrong.

“I’m an adult now, oppa said so.” Yoo Jimin was most afraid of being treated like a child in front of Mingyan; she was clearly all grown up. Lim Nayeon turned her gaze to the person driving: “Did you say that?”

"As is the international standard, the age of adulthood is eighteen. South Korea's calculation method is too strange." Mingyan complained, "I haven't lived that many years to begin with, but they've added several years to my age."

Ning Yizhuo nodded vigorously.

South Korea's age calculation method, combined with the use of various honorifics, informals, and informals, does seem a bit distorted to foreigners.

In China, there is also the concept of "virtual age" (or "lunar age"), but it's not as restrictive as some other system.

Liu Zhimin slightly raised her round, quail-egg-like head. She was usually the older sister who took care of her younger sisters, and she and this oppa were on equal footing. She was definitely not a child who knew nothing.

Whose child is that big?!
The group chatted idly as they arrived at the restaurant.

Mingyan got out of the car first, and he brought Lin Nalian and the three girls with him. He had no choice but to do everything himself.

"No wonder Momo and Sana always talk about this place, the environment is really nice." Lim Nayeon looked around at the surroundings and said approvingly.

Yoo Jimin, however, thought of another aspect: "Oppa, this place must be very expensive, right?"

Although she wanted to be on equal footing with Mingyan and Lim Nayeon, one of them was a popular actress and the other was a rising idol, whose earning power was far beyond what a young trainee who was not yet financially independent could compare to.

The economic disparity made the girl feel somewhat inferior.

“Jimin, I have a ledger on my phone.” Mingyan noticed Liu Jimin’s concerns: “These meals were all paid for by us, and we’ll have to pay them back after we debut.”

"Oh~"

Liu Zhimin knew that this oppa was just trying to comfort her, but she was still secretly delighted.

Money isn't important; what matters is the attitude of speaking frankly.

However, as is often the case in a girl's fairy tale, a witch appears, and Lim Nayeon timely intervenes between the two: "What are you two talking about, so happily?"

“I said, this meal is on Lady Lim Nayeon’s treat, so please don’t be shy, Jimin.”

"No problem, I'll treat." Lin Nayeon is not short of money. Ning Yizhuo has already said that she is her fan, so of course the idol should pay for the meal.

Idols are very professional when it comes to their work.

"Thank you, Nayeon unnie~"

Yoo Jimin can also be a very sweet and cute younger sister.

"Come in, you can sit next to me in a bit." Lim Nayeon said with a smile, "Unnie, I've been there, I have a lot of experience to share with you and Ningning."

"That……"

"Go in, I want to say a few words to him."

Lim Nayeon dismissed Yoo Jimin, who kept turning back to look at her, and sent her into the private room. Then she looked at Mingyan with a cold smile.

The man jumped: "What's wrong?"

"You seem to have a good relationship with that young lady." Rabbit Teeth was quick to turn his back on someone, and in the blink of an eye, he didn't even call Liu Zhimin by her name anymore.

“Yeah, Ningning and I are pretty good friends too.” Mingyan held her hand up to Lim Nayeon’s face. “And Jeongyeon and Momo are good friends too. They’re all my good little sisters.”

It's just jealousy.

He has a whole bunch of ideas waiting for him.

At this point, you shouldn't try to explain things to the woman; instead, you should take the initiative and seize control, otherwise you'll just get stuck in a vicious cycle.

Lim Nayeon's momentum had also weakened, after all, she only felt that Yoo Jimin was a little strange: "Hmph, you have nice little sisters everywhere."

Mingyan took out his phone, posing as if he was about to make a call.

"What are you going to do?"

“Make a call and invite a few more good sisters over.” Mingyan said irritably, “No, let’s just invite Jisoo and Jiwon noona over.”

"Hey, you..."
