Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 563 Hirai Momo, the Liar.

The sky in Seoul was already slightly bright at five o'clock.

In South Korea, it won't be fully light until around 7:30 AM during this time period.

"Momo, have you ever seen Seoul at 4 a.m.?"

Mingyan took a deep breath, and his previously muddled mind became much clearer.

“Yes, I have.” Hirai Momo has seen Seoul not only at 4 a.m., but also at 3 a.m., 5 a.m., and 6 a.m.

When they're on their schedules, they have no concept of time. During comeback periods, they have to record and practice at the same time, wishing they could split every minute in two.

overnight?

That's just everyday life.

Mingyan took out his phone and tried to explain the joke to the girl: "Then you and I know a Los Angeles player who looks a lot like him."

"Who?"

"Kobe."

"Ah, I know Kobe."

Although Momo Hirai doesn't play basketball, she has heard of Kobe Bryant. There are actually quite a few crossover collaborations between the entertainment and sports industries, as both artists and athletes are public figures.

One relies on creating works, the other relies on participating in competitions.

"That's right, he often gets up at four in the morning to practice."

"What does that have to do with us?"

"..."

Mingyan believes that not everyone can understand this joke.

The man stood on the street, ready to flag down a car. He had been driven to the gym by Zheng Yuanlong in his van before, and he didn't want to keep his manager waiting any longer.

The two of them took a taxi to get something to eat.

"Momo, can you drive?" While waiting for a taxi, Mingyan and Hirai Momo chatted idly.

Hirai Momo blinked her big eyes: "I can't."

Yes, Bai asked.

Mingyan felt that he had asked a redundant question. Although the child was very talented in dancing, he was notoriously clumsy in other areas.

Driving is not difficult, but the requirements for safety are still very high.

Lim Na-yeon has wanted to get a driver's license since she turned 18, but she is very timid, so she has put it off until now and doesn't know when she will take the test in the foreseeable future.

Of course, it's clear that the person who will ultimately suffer is the one whose girlfriend wants to take the exam.

Compared to a driving school instructor, a boyfriend is definitely more reliable.

"Haven't you thought about taking the exam?"

With Twice's popularity, buying a car is easy; in modern society, having a car is still more convenient.

Hirai Momo shook her head vigorously, saying, "I'll talk about it later. Driving feels a bit difficult."

“Indeed.” Mingyan was genuinely worried that the girl might accidentally step on the accelerator instead of the brake while driving, as such situations were not uncommon.

"Oppa, what do you mean?"

"I mean, driving is really difficult. Nayeon hasn't even taken any action to learn."

Among the members of Twice, only Yoo Jeongyeon and Park Jihyo are probably the most suitable for driving; the rest are a bit lacking.

Moreover, experienced drivers are trained through experience, and idols don't have much time to drive themselves.

If you don't practice enough, you'll panic when you're on the road.

“But Nayeon unnie can hitch a ride with you.” Hirai Momo keenly spotted the blind spot: that older sister could summon her own personal knight at any time.

Mingyan chuckled, "You can also mooch off them."

"Really?"

"Of course, Momo, don't be shy."

Mingyan pulled Hirai Momo into a taxi.

The two were bundled up tightly. The girl started to feel sleepy as soon as she got in the car, and soon she leaned on the man's shoulder. It was the most comfortable spot in the entire back seat.

Taxi drivers are used to this; they're just young couples who stayed up all night and are heading home to rest.

However, judging from their demeanor, this couple should be quite good-looking.

The car quickly arrived at the residential area where Twice's dormitory was located. Mingyan didn't call Hirai Momo by her name directly, but instead patted the girl's cheek.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Hirai Momo opened her eyes groggily. She almost forgot that she was in a taxi. The short nap of more than twenty minutes was enough to make her senses confused.

The man said softly, "We've arrived. Let's get out of the car."

"Oh~"

Fortunately, Hirai Momo still recognized Mingyan and subconsciously took his hand as they got out of the car together.

"Alright, hurry back, be careful not to catch a cold." Mingyan helped the girl straighten the fluffy hat on her head.

Hirai Momo's adorable, slightly dazed look is just like a little baby, making you want to take extra care of her.

"Oppa, how are you going to get back?"

A gust of cold wind roused Hirai Momo a bit, and she remembered that she hadn't reached her dorm yet.

The man laughed and said, "I probably know the way around here better than you do. I could walk back with my eyes closed."

Mingyan has come here to pick up Lim Nayeon countless times. He knows Twice's old and new dorms like the back of his hand.

The members of Twice travel in vans every day, so they might not be as good at finding their way around as Mingyan.

"Aren't you going up to see Nayeon unnie?"

“Nayeon is probably still asleep. We’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet, so this one won’t make a difference.” Nayeon likes to stay in bed; if there’s nothing else to do, she can stay in bed all day.

"It seems right."

"Go upstairs, you can get some more sleep when you get back."

"Thanks, oppa~ Remember to invite me next time we're having late-night snacks."

Hirai Momo has a head that's good for eating; she's already thinking about the next meal before the food in her stomach has even been digested.

Mingyan watched the girl excitedly enter the building before turning to leave; he also needed to go back and catch up on some sleep.

……

Hirai Momo went back and fell asleep, until she was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Momo, it's time to get up."

Yu Dingyan's voice came from afar, directly piercing through the blanket covering Hirai Momo's head.

"Waaah." The girl whimpered under the covers, making a sound that was hard to understand. She felt like she had just lain down and was about to get up.

The second sister shouted loudly, "Momo, if you don't get up, I'm going inside."

"Get up, get up, I'll get up now."

Hirai Momo gritted her teeth and sat up abruptly.

She knew that Yu Dingyan was capable of both words and deeds, and that she would be the one who suffered in the end.

Yu Dingyan stared warily at Hirai Momo, who came out yawning: "What did you do last night?"

"I went to the gym," Hirai Momo said, planning to make herself a strong cup of black coffee to perk herself up. "I also grabbed a late-night snack afterwards."

There's no need to hide this. Just conceal the existence of Mingyan to avoid being nagged by Yu Dingyan.

"night snack?"

"Beef soup, Jeongyeon, I'll take you to eat it sometime." Hirai Momo beamed at the mention of food, dispelling her second sister's doubts.

This child likes to think about food, and it seems like something she would do to go out for a late-night snack instead of coming home late at night.

Yoo Jeong-yeon said, half-jokingly and half-criticizingly, "I thought you went on a date."

After the three-year dating ban ended, coupled with the examples of Lim Nayeon and Park Jihyo, there was unease within Twice.

We're all girls in our twenties, who wouldn't yearn for a passionate and sweet love?
Others are fine, but my second sister is worried that honest girls like Hirai Momo or Chou Tzu-yu will be deceived. If they get involved with Ming-yan, they're doomed. That guy is the best at conning people.

Who am I dating?

Hirai Momo thought about it for a moment.

Although she had a lot of fun with Mingyan last night, it's probably far from a date.

If Lim Nayeon were to go on a date with that oppa, the two of them probably wouldn't even get out of bed.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Yu Dingyan came to Hirai Momo's side: "Momo, I'm going to rest soon. Remember to set your own alarm clock from now on."

"It's okay, my manager will call me."

"ah!"
