Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 430 Jealousy.

"Uncle~"

After Kim Minjung returned, he tried his best to please Myung-yeon.

Honestly, the girl didn't say anything bad about her uncle in front of Mingyue. At most, she inadvertently revealed some details about her private life, mainly about her older sisters.

"What? I never realized you had the potential to be a little traitor." Mingyan turned his head away and ignored Jin Minzheng.

The little guy chased after Mingyan in circles, saying, "I swear, I didn't talk that much to my mom."

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

"When you were sick, Jisoo unnie, Nayeon unnie, and Jiwon unnie all came to take care of you."

Kim Minjung muttered to himself.

She wouldn't lie; everything she said and did was based on facts. Her uncle's love life was indeed quite chaotic.

It's ridiculous.

"That's not the point." Mingyan's tone was a bit weak; he was indeed in the wrong.

"Then why do you keep telling me you want to find several aunts-in-law?" Kim Minjung muttered. "I didn't tell Mom about that."

According to Mingyan's own account, the girl hadn't mentioned Yu Dingyan and Liu Zhimin yet, as the little guy was too embarrassed to talk about the jokes his friends made about his uncle.

"I have to thank you."

"You're welcome~"

Mingyan pinched his niece's cute cheeks. This child will definitely gain a lot of popularity after her debut. She's so adorable.

"Oh right, Uncle, Mom brought us some things too." Kim Minjung ran back to his room and came out with a bag: "You weren't home before, so I didn't have a chance to tell you."

Family reunions are mainly about catching up, and Mingyue was too lazy to bring up these things with her younger brother.

"Let me see what's available..."

Kim Minjung continued to report to Mingyan: "I also bought a lot of things for my mother, using our family fund."

They live together, so there are bound to be some shared expenses, such as water and electricity bills, as well as grocery shopping. They had originally agreed that one of them would bear the cost, but the little guy firmly disagreed.

The girl took out a portion of her allowance and explicitly stated that she would contribute another portion, which would be used to cover her living expenses.

Mingyan never manages the money; it's all Kim Minjung who handles it.

"well done."

"Mom also said..." Kim Minjung kept telling her uncle about what had happened between her and Mingyue these past few days, what she felt, how her mother had changed, and how thankfully the things she had hidden hadn't been discovered.

Mingyan suddenly felt a pang of jealousy, a feeling akin to suddenly discovering that the child he was raising wasn't his own.

Although he has only raised this little guy for two years.

Mingyan suppressed his emotions and smiled as he patted his niece's head: "Minzheng, next time you have a break, I'll take you abroad to see your mother."

"Really?"

"Of course, but you've rested for half a month this time, so your practice progress will probably fall behind."

The man reminded Kim Minjung of something.

He had previously arranged for Kim Minjung to take leave from SM Entertainment so that his sister and daughter could spend more time together. The kid probably had almost forgotten what trainee life was like.

"Oops~" The girl slapped her forehead. She had been having too much fun lately and had indeed forgotten something important.

Liu Zhimin also sent her a message saying that she needed to choreograph a new dance to meet the monthly assessment, and that her progress was seriously behind schedule.

Mingyan saw that the way the child was scratching his head reminded him of himself when he didn't want to do his homework in school: "Jimin told me to tell you that the dance you are going to practice is BLACKPINK's 'DUUDU-DDUDU'. You can watch more videos now."

"Why is it this song?"

"Because this song is a hit." Ming Yan had previously predicted that Jisoo's comeback would be a hit, and he was right.

BLACKPINK's comeback wasn't just a minor hit, it was a massive, even explosive, success. The song surpassed one million listens on its first day of release, setting a new record for the highest first-day listens for a girl group in Melon history.

The music charts exploded, the number of views on YouTube was staggering, and it swept the number one spot on music shows.

The four girls went from being the object of everyone's affections to being unique, and some fans have even started to imagine that they will surpass Twice.

These days, a lot of topics on South Korean variety shows revolve around BLACKPINK and "DDUDU-DDUDU"—they need to talk about these things to get viewership.

The production team of "Will You Do Well Locally 2?" is practically grinning from ear to ear.

The variety show's premiere already had impressive ratings, but BLACKPINK's surge in popularity further boosted the show's viewership, making the TV station a huge profit.

Even so, Kim Jisoo was still complaining to Mingyan that her song had become a hit and her schedule had increased.

This thing isn't used to it yet.

As a trainee, Kim Minjung certainly couldn't miss out on such a wildly popular girl group song, so practicing more would definitely be a good idea.

The girl kept her head down, not even bothering to ask why Liu Zhimin had texted Mingyan: "Okay then, I'll go back and watch Jisoo unnie's fancam dance tutorial later."

"Tsk, look at Jisoo's fancam, do you even want to be okay?"

BLACKPINK's main dancer is Lisa. She has long arms and legs, and her dancing is quite entertaining. She is also one of the three main dancers of fourth-generation girl groups, on par with Momo Hirai.

Of course, you should learn from good people; watching Kim Jisoo's fancams won't make you grow up to look like her.

He openly admits that he enjoys watching certain things, but his evaluations of his friends are quite objective.

"Then why do you watch Jisoo unnie's fancams yourself?" Kim Minjung knows his uncle best. The most individual fancams on his computer are of Kim Jisoo, even more than Lim Nayeon.

"I was admiring, not learning." The man stood up and stretched a few times. "How about I teach you?"

"you teach me?"

Kim Minjung looked on with suspicion.

She knew all too well how good Mingyan was at singing and dancing; there was probably a hundred Lim Nayeons between them.

"Yeah, the dance moves for this new song are pretty simple." Mingyan said, swinging his arms a few times. You could say it was somewhat there, but to say he was teaching someone would be a bit funny.

Kim Minjung sighed, "Alright, alright, I'd better go practice my dance first, otherwise I might get scolded when I see Jimin unnie tomorrow."

Liu Zhimin is the eldest sister in the group. Although she is usually a kind-hearted person with a smile and never gets angry no matter how you joke around, she is very serious when it comes to important matters.

Without authority, one cannot command respect, especially when facing the quirky and clever Kim Min-jung and Ning Yi-zhuo.

"come on."

Mingyan thinks that these kinds of troubles that belong to young girls are quite interesting.

"Uncle, why don't you take me to the company tomorrow?" Kim Minjung turned around and started to whine to Mingyan, "You also have to help me report back from leave."

After playing for half a month, the girl still felt inexplicably afraid of going to the company.

Mingyan couldn't resist Kim Minjung's coquettish advances at all: "Okay, okay, Uncle does have some effect after all, right?"

"Of course... Uncle, are you jealous?" Kim Minjung finally realized that it was no wonder that Mingyan's attitude had been strange from the beginning. He couldn't quite put his finger on it before, but it became clear as soon as he said that.

"Why would I be jealous? That's pointless, haha."

The man vehemently denied it.

"You're jealous because I talked about Mom too much."

"Isn't it normal for you and my sister to be close?"

"Hehe, Mom is the best mom in the world, and Uncle is the best uncle in the world."
