Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 464 You'd better not act cute.

"not called!"

Kim Jisoo simply didn't want to admit it.

She was just practicing when this guy walked over. Luckily, she stopped in time.

"Jisoo, you calling me oppa isn't a loss for you, is it?" Mingyan is at least a month older than this guy, even if it's just a day or an hour older, it's still an age difference.

Kim Jisoo pouted: "We're the same age."

"What were you doing just now?"

"I... I was practicing my personal skills for variety shows."

It's easy for idols to find excuses. Anyway, Kim Jisoo would never admit that she had just suffered a "sudden illness." Park Chaeyoung's plan is a secret between heaven and earth; if Mingyan knew, she wouldn't be able to live her life.

Rose: Love or face, which do you want?

"Does a personal skill need to be called oppa?" Mingyan was still a little confused.

Jisoo's personal skills are usually improvising nursery rhymes on the spot or balancing water bottles on her shoulders, which are not suitable for her as a typical female idol.

This guy has a face that could be used as a storefront, but he does mostly childish things.

Commonly known as childish.

On the other hand, while Kim Jisoo's eccentric aesthetic sense is certainly due to her own wild and untamed growth, it is also inseparable from the encouragement and unconditional pampering of someone else.

When no one is there to play along with her antics, girls often turn to Mingyan for backup.

What else can you do but spoil your childhood sweetheart?

Jisoo's eyes darted around: "Then don't worry about it, it's just for the variety show anyway."

Even the moon bear couldn't stand it anymore. Its mother didn't seem to be very good at lying; she couldn't even fool the puppy's eyes. She probably could only fool humans.

"Okay, do you need my help?" Mingyan didn't ask any further questions. After all, this guy could really hit people if he got angry, so it was better for him to say less.

"unnecessary."

So, is it necessary or not?

"Yes, we need it, okay?"

Kim Jisoo wanted to refuse, but she swallowed the words back.

Her purpose in calling this guy out today was to conduct a "friendship deterioration test." The first move was to act cute in front of Mingyan and then observe his reaction.

Since that's the case, we might as well try using the excuse of rehearsing individual skills; at least we won't be too embarrassed no matter what we do.

"Okay, then you can treat me as the MC of the show." Mingyan plopped down next to Kim Jisoo: "Kim Jisoo-ssi, have you been practicing any new personal skills lately?"

For professional actors, doing the job of an MC is a piece of cake.

Moreover, Mingyan herself has hosted several large-scale events, so she can seamlessly enter this process.

That's what men need to practice: when you want to succeed, you have to succeed, otherwise you'll just waste a great opportunity.

Jisoo is no pushover either: "The members all say I've been acting especially cute lately, and I often do it unconsciously."

BLACKPINK has been around for over two years now. Even a fool should know what to do when they're in the public eye.

"Could you show us?"

"Yes, that's fine."

Kim Jisoo lowered her head and pondered for a moment, but when she looked at Mingyan's face, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hey, Kim Jisoo-ssi, could you please be a little more professional?" The man raised his hand and tapped the guy on the head. What happened to practicing like this?

If I laugh now, does that mean I have to laugh so hard I can't stand up straight when I'm on TV?
Besides, it's not funny at all.

The girl clutched her head: "It hurts!"

"Shall I massage it for you?"

"Need not."

Kim Jisoo was fuming and didn't want to talk to this guy. Her personal skill practice was just an excuse, but she ended up getting a real hit on the head.

He has a sweet and soft girlfriend to hug and cuddle with, while I have to suffer through all these tests.

Who can I reason with?

"Come on, what if we accidentally knock our big star silly?" Mingyan knew this guy was just being stubborn; he'd been like this since he was little, always following him around, even if he fell down he'd insist he was fine. So, he completely ignored Kim Jisoo's objections and started vigorously rubbing the spot where he'd been pounding.

The girl flailed her hands, saying, "It hurts, be gentle."

"I've already used very little force, and I'll feel much better after the pain subsides."

After running around happily for a while, Moon Bear watched as his father held down his mother, not knowing what they were doing. He barked twice and then lay down next to the chair. Watching the adults fight was more interesting.

Mingyan pressed down on Kim Jisoo's head and rubbed it hard a few times.

The man didn't just press those buttons randomly; he had specifically studied Traditional Chinese Medicine to provide support for this guy and Lim Nayeon.

"Hiss..." The girl struggled to move her neck a few times.

She originally intended to act cute, but the current style just feels a bit off.

Mingyan asked with a smile, "How are you feeling? Much better, aren't you?"

"My neck has been feeling stiff lately, probably from all the work," Kim Jisoo said, grimacing. "Your technique seems to have improved again. Did you get it from Ji-won unnie?"

"Kim Jisoo, you have no conscience. If it weren't for you, I would never have learned massage."

Mingyan slapped the guy on the back of the head.

The girl quickly raised her hands and begged for forgiveness: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, alright?"

What she just said was indeed a bit sarcastic, mainly because she felt wronged but didn't know how to express it, so she could only express her emotions in this awkward way.

What should I say when I make a mistake?

"Hey, don't push your luck."

"...Then I'll continue practicing your coquettishness with you, but this time I'll be serious, okay?" Mingyan quickly changed her tune, lest she really make this guy angry later.

"oppa~"

"Hmm, I think it's still not quite right, let's do it again."

"oppa~"

"Jisoo, you need to pay attention to your facial expressions when you speak. Try to be more natural. Let's do it again."

"oppa~"

While Mingyan appeared to be nitpicking, he was secretly delighted. It wasn't easy to hear Kim Jisoo call him "oppa" so many times normally, so he wanted to enjoy it while he could.

The girl was also observing the expression on someone's face.

Does this guy even realize that all those shouts he made were for him to hear?

"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?" Kim Jisoo finally lost her patience; her voice was about to go hoarse from calling out for so long. "Do you really want to hear me call you 'oppa'?"

"Jisoo, please get this straight, I'm actually older than you." Mingyan was genuinely a little guilty; teasing this guy wasn't exactly something to be proud of.

In a way, Kim Jisoo and Hirai Momo could sit at the same table.

"Well... oppa~"

The girl not only called out, but also added a wink.

"Are you calling me?"

"if not?"

"Cough cough."

Mingyan looked at Kim Jisoo's eyes, which seemed to glow like black pearls in the deep night, and suddenly started coughing uncontrollably, and the coughing became more and more violent.

"Are you alright?" The girl kept patting someone's back.

"It's okay, it's okay. Maybe I'm just not used to you suddenly calling me oppa."

Kim Jisoo also seemed a little hesitant to look at Mingyan, saying, "I'm just trying it out because I'm bored. If you're not used to it, that's fine."

"Could you call out again?"

"No."

Kim Jisoo was too embarrassed to repeat herself; that one shout had exhausted all her strength.

But was the plan a success or a failure?
