Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 516 You can break up with me, so why can't you break up with Nayeon?

"Noona, I'm starting to question the meaning of life."

Mingyan's main focus is on honesty.

He can use sweet words, but that's unfair to a woman who truly loves him, and in the end, all he'll get in return is lies.

"I like seeing your expression right now." Kim Ji-won smiled mischievously. "It means you care about my thoughts."

Hmph, this guy isn't always so calm.

Looking down at the girl, Mingyan felt a sense of déjà vu, much like he was facing Rachel Yoo and Myung-joo Yoon: "I thought you'd be jealous."

"I'm jealous. I've always been jealous, it didn't just start today."

This isn't the first or second time Kim Ji-won and Lim Na-yeon have clashed; the earliest example can be traced back to Kim Min-jung's birthday party in 2017, before she even succeeded in getting him.

Rabbit Teeth showed strong hostility back then.

She could even see the hidden threat posed by Kim Jisoo, so Lim Nayeon would be even more obvious about it.

"That was my narrow-mindedness." Mingyan felt a little relieved. Her sister's reaction showed that things could be handled slowly and things would work out in a better way.

Tsk, it seems that the "scumbag" buff isn't all negative; sometimes it can actually be effective.

Without unnecessary expectations, one's mindset will naturally be different.

"You're not narrow-minded, you're just too loving." Kim Ji-won leaned closer to Ming-yan, their noses almost touching. "What, now that you're Na-yeon's boyfriend, shouldn't you keep your distance from me?"

"late."

Mingyan only left out two words.

Kim Ji-won smiled: "It seems my persistence worked, at least I successfully made you like me."

“Noona, I have a feeling you’re planning something.” Mingyan also had a man’s intuition. This sister’s behavior was so unusual that it meant her attention was on something else.

"You're so smart, guess what it is!"

"Are they planning how to break up me and Nayeon?"

"That's right, you can break up with me, so why can't you break up with Nayeon?"

Kim Ji-won's eyes held a cunning glint.

This guy's problem isn't just directed at her; aside from Kim Jisoo, she doesn't think Lim Nayeon has much of an advantage.

Your time is long, my depth is broad.

You are my childhood sweetheart, and I am someone who fell from the sky.

Kim Jisoo: (Yawns) What are you guys talking about?

"What if I don't want to bring up breaking up again?" Mingyan asked tentatively.

I want the green plum, even if it falls from the sky, I don't want to let it go.

Kim Ji-won's eyes gradually turned hostile: "When you broke up with me, you were very decisive, and you even took all the clothes in batches beforehand."

The girl's eyes gradually turned red, as if she was recalling those days.

“Noona, that’s why I don’t want to repeat the past.” Mingyan said softly, “I still like to see you smile.”

"Nayeon has never cried before."

"I think... Nayeon will definitely make me cry before she cries."

This is what makes Lim Na-yeon and Kim Ji-won different.

One person likes to swallow their pride and suffer in silence, while the other prefers a lose-lose situation to a lose-lose one; if I'm not happy, no one else can be comfortable either.

“She can’t bear to part with it, and neither can I.” Kim Ji-won remained silent for a moment.

Mingyan gently rubbed the girl's delicate nose: "Noona, you still care about me the most."

"Come on, if Crystal finds out, she'll definitely yell at me again," Kim Ji-won murmured. "I should have kicked you out as soon as I found out about this."

Falling in love with a jerk will never end well.

"Who said that?"

"That's what Crystal said."

"Her words are not very convincing; she doesn't even understand her own sister."

Kim Ji-won thought about it and realized it was true. Krystal Jung's relationship had caused quite a stir in the industry back then, even indirectly leading to her leaving the group. Compared to that, Mingyan's actions weren't as destructive.

"If Crystal heard what you said, she would definitely come knocking on our door." Kim Ji-won chuckled.

She was reluctant to use force against Mingyan, but others might not be so sure.

"Then I'll hide behind you."

"A grown man should be protected by a woman?"

"Yes, because you are the person I like, and I believe in you."

Mingyan stared intently into Kim Ji-won's bright eyes. This older sister's gaze was like clear lake water, so deep that you could see right to the bottom.

He had almost forgotten that he was initially attracted by such beautiful eyes.

As people travel further and further down the road, they inevitably forget their original aspirations.

Kim Ji-won suddenly started stammering, "Why...why are you looking at me like that?"

No, this scumbag has always been all about sweet talk and romantic words, why is he suddenly acting all lovey-dovey?

"Noona, I brought you a gift." Mingyan stood up and took out a box. You can't just make empty promises to coax a girl: "The gemstone on this earring looks a lot like your eyes."

"This must be very expensive."

Kim Ji-won looked at the gift in the man's hand.

She is a low-key person, but she does have some knowledge of jewelry.

When the two were dating, Mingyan said that he had given her quite a few gifts, including clothes, bags, and many small items for daily life, but basically no jewelry.

"That's not important. What's important is that I think it suits you very well." Mingyan had indeed chosen this person with care; she couldn't let her older sister have nothing.

His feelings also need a medium to express them.

Money can be earned back after it's spent; stingy people can't pick up girls.

Kim Ji-won pursed her lips, but couldn't hide the amusement in her voice: "You're here to bribe me, aren't you?"

"Ji-won noona, would you accept my feelings?"

"I'll try it on first."

It's common practice for female celebrities to get multiple ear piercings, and some even use ear piercings to relieve stress. It's truly baffling how such small ears can withstand so much pressure.

Mingyan said that sometimes it hurts just to look at it.

"Do you want me to help you?" Mingyan kindly brushed the long hair behind Kim Ji-won's ear.

Kim Ji-won carefully put on her earrings in front of the mirror: "Have you given jewelry to other people before? You seem to be quite skilled at it."

“Noona, you were my last boyfriend, and you’re the person I’ve dated the longest.” Mingyan said without any hesitation, emphasizing the special status of this older sister: “Jisoo and Nayeon don’t have this kind of treatment.”

Kim Jisoo goes without saying.

That guy doesn't like anything too luxurious; he usually dresses in simple and practical styles.

Mingyan said that if he really gave her an expensive gift, Kim Jisoo would feel bad about it, as it would be a waste of money.

Lim Nayeon has only recently transitioned to idol status, but idols have such high exposure that fans pay close attention to their clothes and jewelry, which can easily lead to problems.

"Really?"

"real."

Kim Ji-won smiled with satisfaction; at least his attitude was acceptable. "Is it pretty?"

"Beautiful, but that's just an added bonus. The most beautiful thing is the person." Mingyan's eyes were full of amazement.

"Hmph, you're just trying to flatter me~" The girl looked at herself in the mirror and said, "You're Nayeon's boyfriend now, so when I see her, I'll feel inferior."

"Noona, it's not that exaggerated."

"If we two were to fight at Minjung's birthday party, whose side would you take?"

"I'm just glad I can protect myself. It's good enough that you two don't gang up on me."

"Indeed, then you'd better be able to take a beating."
