Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 429 Leaving.

If there's something to discuss, it's a long story; if there's nothing to discuss, it's a short story.

Mingyue was very busy during her time in Seoul. In addition to seeing her daughter, she also had to go back to Liangshan to handle family matters and visit someone who wasn't very noticeable.

He can help with some things, but not others.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to leave. Mingyue had only stayed for less than half a month this time.

If we were to ask who was most reluctant to see Mingyue leave, the first would definitely be Jin Minzheng. She hadn't seen her mother for almost two years, and before she could even process what was happening, her mother was leaving.

Mothers and daughters often argue when they spend too much time together, but they also miss each other when they part ways.

Second place definitely goes to Kim Ji-won. She hadn't had enough of living together yet, and now it's already ending.

"Noona, these underwear are almost unrecognizable as ones I used to wear."

Mingyan looked at the underwear that the older sister had folded neatly, washed clean, and smelled of fabric softener.

Kim Ji-won seems determined to leave her mark on someone, which is a key aspect of her competition with Kim Ji-soo and Lim Na-yeon. The two of them can talk about their friendship for at least ten years, while she is far behind in this regard.

She wasn't even aware of this during her first relationship, so it's actually a bit late to pursue her now.

"You smell awful. Only I can wash your underwear for you." Kim Ji-won rolled her eyes. The girl's hands moved slowly, clearly not wanting to finish packing Ming-yan's luggage so quickly.

"Noona is the best~"

"Better than Nayeon?"

"Hmm... different kinds of good."

After much effort, Mingyan managed to appease the older woman before finally carrying his luggage home.

It seems Mingyue has been quite busy during her stay; at least the house looks spotless, much cleaner than when she lived with Kim Minjung.

"Sis, what are you making? It smells so good." The man entered the room and found Mingyue busy in the kitchen.

"Just wash your hands and wait to eat."

"Oh."

Although Mingyue was about to board a plane that night, she was still doing what she could for her younger brother and daughter.

Mingyan put down his luggage and quietly came to Jin Minzheng's side: "How did you feel about returning to Liangshan this time?"

He originally intended to take the two of them back, but due to unforeseen circumstances, the mother and daughter ended up taking the KTX back instead.

"It's alright." The little one wasn't very excited. After all, her mother had just returned and was leaving again. Even though the two of them had argued several times in the two weeks they had lived together, the bond between mother and daughter was undeniable.

"Where are the EXO autographs? Did you send them out?"

Mingyan, wanting to make his niece look good, specifically asked Do Kyungsoo for several copies of their group's autographs, so that Kim Minjung could take them back and give them away.

We've come all this way to Seoul, we can't leave empty-handed, right?

"delivered."

Kim Minjung's expression finally brightened.

Seventeen is an age when people like to show off, and her return to Liangshan this time can be described as a triumphant homecoming. Her experience as a trainee alone is enough to make her quite famous.

Not to mention the autographs and photos.

Kim Minjung did restrain herself somewhat; otherwise, if she had revealed that she had slept with Kim Jisoo, Lim Nayeon, and Kim Jiwon, her former classmates would have been shocked.

This is such a blissful life!

Mingyan: Just average, third in the industry.

"Your uncle will accompany you back next time. This time, we did have an unexpected extra trip." The man raised his hand and patted his niece's head. It's common for people with a lot of advertisements on their clothes to encounter similar situations.

There's no way around it; it's all about making money. Houses worth billions aren't going to fall from the sky.

He's now just waiting for his paycheck from the next drama to arrive so he can buy a big house and save himself the trouble of having to make room for someone to come over next time.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with staying at Kim Ji-won's place, but it's much more liberating to stay at home.

Kim Minjung was a little embarrassed by his pride: "It's okay, work is more important."

"Alright, stop talking." Mingyue poked her head out from the kitchen: "Wash your hands and get ready to eat."

"Okay." "Yes, ma'am."

The two, one big and one small, nodded at lightning speed; they should listen to their older sister/mother.

"Sigh, I wonder when I'll taste this again." Mingyan sighed as he ate. The home-cooked food tasted both ordinary and precious.

Kim Minjung, who had been quietly eating, started eating even more heartily upon hearing this.

Mingyue gave her younger brother a piece of advice: "You need to learn to cook too. You can't eat takeout with Minzheng every day."

"we do not have."

“You still say no? Minjung told me everything.”

Mingyan exchanged a glance with his niece. "You two can't just tell everyone you're having a heart-to-heart talk."

Kim Minjung lowered his head even further. His mother was gone, and his uncle's revenge might be just around the corner.

These days are tough.

"Sister, don't worry, I'll take good care of Minzheng." Mingyan assured his sister. When their parents were away from home, their only worry was their child.

If it weren't explicitly stated that he was the little guy's maternal uncle, Mingyue probably wouldn't have felt at ease.

“You not only need to take care of Minjung, but you also need to take good care of your own health.” Mingyue wanted to stuff all her words into her younger brother’s head at once: “You are a public figure now, so you need to be careful with what you say and do.”

Her words were a clear indication that one should be cautious when it comes to matters of the heart.

Even disregarding the impact on their careers, it's not good to hurt a girl's feelings. Both Kim Jisoo and Lim Nayeon have been with their younger brothers since they were very young.

Mingyan patted his chest and said, "My body is fine."

"My uncle has many people taking care of him when he is sick."

Kim Minjung chewed his food and mumbled indistinctly.

When Mingyan was sick last time, it alarmed several of her older sisters. As her own niece, she couldn't help at all and could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

"Minjung, eat more. I don't have such good cooking skills." The man patted his niece's back "kindly."

"Ahem, okay."

The three of them looked happy, but the atmosphere of parting always lingered around them. Mingyue had been gone for years, and when she came back next time, Kim Minjung might have already debuted.

Kim Jisoo even made a special phone call to say goodbye to her sister.

If BLACKPINK hadn't been busy with their comeback and couldn't find the time, she definitely would have come to see Mingyue today.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Mingyue held Jin Minzheng's hand and chatted in the room for a long time. The person she was most worried about was probably her daughter, and video calls could never replace meeting in person.

When they came out again, both mother and daughter had red eyes, clearly having cried.

Mingyan seems to understand this emotion to some extent, yet also seems unable to fully comprehend it.

It's so good to have a mom.

He drove his sister to the airport, talking incessantly the whole way to liven up the slightly tense atmosphere.

"I'm leaving. If you have the chance..." Mingyue hesitated before boarding the plane, clearly unsure how to say what she wanted to say.

“Sister, take good care of yourself while you’re abroad.” Mingyan interrupted her sister, “Minzheng, I’m here for you, so don’t worry.”

“Minjung told me that you’re spoiling her too much.”

"I only have one niece, Minjung. If I don't spoil her, who else can I spoil?"

"Also, I think Jisoo is a really nice girl, you should think about it carefully."

You'd better get on the plane quickly.

The final moments of parting naturally belonged to Kim Minjung. The little guy clung to his mother, reluctant to let go, and almost cried again when he saw Mingyue board the plane.

"Minjung, let's go."

"Ah."

"Go back and tell me exactly what you said to my sister."
