Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 414: Leniency to those who confess.

"Nayeon?"

To be honest, Mingyan wasn't surprised by Lim Nayeon's call; Rabbit Tooth was very concerned about his sister's return.

"Here you go, take it." Kim Ji-won shifted a few times on the bed, handed the phone to the man, but didn't immediately let go.

Mingyan didn't immediately accept: "Nuna, you're in your bed, you're in charge."

He had a very good reputation in the world of romance, mainly because he always paid attention to the feelings of women in the details.

For creatures that value emotional worth, this can sometimes be more useful than a bag.

Regardless of who is more important to Mingyan, he is currently in Kim Ji-won's bed, so he has to show the appropriate attitude, otherwise wouldn't he be hurting her feelings?

"Then I'm hanging up?"

Kim Ji-won's finger hovered above the constantly vibrating phone, as if it would fall at any moment.

"It's up to you." Mingyan didn't even look in their direction, looking around for a glass of water. He was already thirsty after taking a shower, and he might be exercising later.

It's just right to replenish your fluids now.

Kim Ji-won's gaze swept back and forth across the person's face before she finally snorted and tossed the phone over: "You can take it, I don't want to be the bad guy."

“Nurhaci, even if there are evil people, it’s me, what does it have to do with you?” Mingyan’s main point is to be bold and responsible.

He is the core of all the problems; it would be worse if he didn't have this position.

Kim Ji-won has a love-hate relationship with this guy.

She loves that Mingyan puts everything in front of her, but she hates that he can't just honestly like her.

At this moment, Lim Nayeon had already hung up the phone, presumably preparing for her next offensive.

"Hey, Nayeon."

The man adjusted his position on the bed and dialed Rabbit Teeth's number back.

Kim Ji-won bit her lip, stood up as if to leave but not quite, thinking that it would be better to be generous and let this guy make the call freely, but she also felt that it would be too easy on Lim Na-yeon, so she hesitated.

"Sister's back, how did you welcome her?" Lim Nayeon didn't immediately ask why the previous call hadn't gone through.

Seeing that Kim Ji-won hadn't left, Ming-yan didn't get up: "It should be alright. The main thing is that my sister and Min-jung reunited. Ji-soo and I are just supporting characters."

Kim Ji-won raised an eyebrow; it was Kim Ji-soo again.

Although that girl wasn't as outspoken as Lim Na-yeon, she never missed anything, and often managed to be ahead of everyone else, or rather, she was ahead from the very beginning.

The eighteen-year lead from age six to now is indeed terrifying, making it hard to muster the will to compete.

"That's right, it's been a long time since my sister and Minjun have seen each other."

Whether it's Lim Nayeon, Kim Jisoo, or Kim Jiwon, they all uniformly dropped all other prefixes when addressing Mingyue, calling her "unnie" (older sister).

"So I left all the space to them, mother and daughter, and moved out myself." Mingyan proactively explained the facts to avoid having to repeat herself when asked later.

Lim Nayeon immediately became alert: "Move out? Where will you live?"

There's nothing we can do; someone just has too many choices.

“Kwang-soo hyung, over here.”

Mingyan lied to Kim Ji-won's face without batting an eye, his main point being to be open and aboveboard.

"Oh, that's fine too. It's really inconvenient for three people to live in your place." Lim Nayeon and Kim Jisoo only occasionally shared a bed back then; if they slept in the same bed every day, they would start to dislike each other.

As for Ming-ch's statement that he was staying at Lee Kwang-soo's house...

Since she's still living in the dorm, they can't exactly kick Yoo Jeongyeon or Hirai Momo out, or the other members would laugh at them.

Anyway, Kim Jisoo also lives in the dormitory, so since no one got any benefit, it doesn't matter.

Kim Ji-won: Meow meow meow?
It's good for kids to be independent.

Mingyan chatted casually with Lin Nayeon for a few more minutes, then the man hung up the phone, preparing to face the formal test.

Kim Ji-won's expression was a half-smile: "I changed my name to Lee Kwang-soo, huh?" "It's not that bad." Ming-yan said seriously: "Noona, from now on you're called Lee Kwang-soo, and Kwang-soo hyung will change his name to Kim Ji-won. It won't cause any problems."

Kim Ji-won was almost laughing in exasperation at this guy; he could spout lies so easily, without even a stutter.

Because of one phone call from him, you want to change your name and personality, right?

"ah."

Kim Ji-won was too lazy to argue with Ming-yeon, because she couldn't win in a verbal battle, so she simply resorted to physical violence.

"Hey, Ji-won noona, are you trying to murder your husband?" The man cried out as he dodged, a sound that would break anyone's heart.

Kim Ji-won scoffed, "It's hard to say whose husband you are."

"How do you say this?"

"Don't you know Nayeon likes you?"

The tug-of-war between Ming-yeon and Lim Na-yeon was a tacit understanding, and this was the first time it had been brought up openly, especially since it came from Kim Ji-won's mouth.

"I know." The man readily admitted it. The two of them had already clashed when he was sick last time, so there was no point in continuing to hide it.

The current situation will eventually have to be made public; there's no way to get away with it by deceiving people.

Kim Ji-won and Lim Na-yeon are both very smart girls. If they openly admit that they are caught in the middle and pretend to be smart, the result will probably not be good. It is better to be honest.

Even when you're a jerk, you have to be jerk in a unique way. Ideally, you should give the girls the illusion that all your choices are based on your true feelings.

Reveal most of the truth and let them decide for themselves what to do.

What Mingyan needs to do is to stay true to his principles and maximize his advantages.

I am who I am, and I will not change because there are other women in the world.

Kim Ji-won had an "I knew it" look on her face: "So what do you think?"

Based on her understanding of this guy, she knew everything in his heart; it was just a matter of whether he was willing to admit it or not.

“Noona, do you know how Nayeon used to pretend to be my girlfriend?” Mingyan didn’t answer the question directly: “She just stood there with her hands on her hips and her head tilted back in front of the girl who wrote me love letters.”

I asked her why she wasn't talking.

Nayeon said that those people should have given up after seeing her beauty.

Kim Ji-won imagined the scene, and Lim Na-yeon was indeed such a bright, sunny, and confident girl: "So, she's in your heart."

“I’ve known Nayeon for over ten years. Sometimes I really don’t know what life would be like without her, just like I can’t imagine us breaking up again.”

Mingyan's words also brought Kim Ji-won in.

After he and this older sister started their 2.0 relationship, their relationship could no longer be defined as a simple romantic relationship.

They haven't gotten back together, but they're still entangled, not completely innocent yet unable to bring themselves to break things off completely.

Ming said so, and so did Kim Ji-won.

"Scumbag."

"Nuna, come here and listen." Mingyan pulled the older sister into his arms, pressing the girl's face tightly against his chest.

Kim Ji-won was completely confused: "What?"

"You're in my heart too, can you hear your heartbeat?"

"How...how can we tell the difference?"

Kim Ji-won is almost completely fooled by this guy. Does heartbeat have a specific frequency?

"No need to make a fuss, at least for now, my heart belongs to you." Mingyan gazed tenderly at the somewhat bewildered girl, softly whispering sweet nothings.

I don't ask for forever, I only ask for what I had.
