Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 646: Acting Lessons Late at Night.

Momo Hirai gets into character very quickly.

They even smoothly changed their form of address, clearly indicating they were still unaware of the situation.

"Wait, Momo, we need to come up with a concrete plan first."

The man and Hirai Momo sat facing each other.

"What plan?" Hirai Momo's eyes gleamed with intelligence, yet one could immediately sense a deep distrust towards her.

“First of all, my pretending to be your boyfriend is just a general outline,” Mingyan patiently explained. “How to pretend, when to pretend, and to what extent to pretend—these all need to be studied.”

He was Kim Eun-sook's student and placed the utmost importance on the rigor of the script's structure.

Clearly, Hirai Momo hadn't thought that far ahead.

"It seems right."

"Momo, what were you thinking at the beginning?"

"It's about the two of us going up to that senior together and telling him that you're my boyfriend."

While it's true that simpler plans are less prone to errors, there's a lot more to it than just improvisation.

"How can we make him believe that we are a couple?" Mingyan asked another question.

Hirai Momo blinked a few times: "This..."

She hadn't really thought that much about it, but it didn't matter anyway. It seemed like it was good to let this oppa worry about it now.

"Look, these are all problems."

"It's okay, oppa, just tell me what to do, and I'll do it."

Hirai Momo's greatest strength is her obedience.

If you're not smart enough, then delegate tasks to smart people.

“First, we need to pick a suitable time.” Mingyan opened his phone and recorded the conversation between the two of them: “For example, should we tell Heechul hyung on purpose, or create an opportunity to bump into him?”

"What do you think?"

Has he asked you out recently?

"Yes, but we had a very busy schedule, so we canceled them all." Mingyan had heard quite a bit about how Kim Heechul pursued girls, which basically involved going out for meals, dating, and giving gifts.

The method may be old, but it depends on who uses it.

Kim Heechul is actually quite similar to Mingyan; the things he does are all quite model-dependent. That guy also uses his connections and seniority to gain a certain cognitive advantage in order to please girls.

However, Mingyan has advantages over Na Ge in every aspect.

Compared to appearance, age, physique, and career, it surpasses all four dimensions.

The man thought for a moment and said, "My suggestion is that you meet him at a suitable time, and then I will pick you up."

"Okay, oppa, just drop in like a madman when I refuse again." Hirai Momo seems to particularly like this kind of chuunibyou behavior: "You grab my waist and give me a deep kiss."

"Um... Momo, wait a minute, we're just pretending to be a couple."

Mingyan hurriedly stopped Hirai Momo from continuing.

Neither he nor Lim Na-yeon were this crazy back then.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot." The girl stuck out her tongue; she was so busy describing the scenes that might appear in the TV series.

Mingyan pretended to knock Hirai Momo on the head: "Don't talk nonsense next time, like some kind of divine intervention. You watch too many TV dramas."

“Oppa, it’s about the same. What’s the difference between what we’re doing now and filming a TV drama?”

"The difference is that life doesn't unfold in a fixed direction like a script."

Japanese girls may all have a kind of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) vibe about them.

Especially Hirai Momo's wise expression, which is very much like a silly anime girl that would appear in a manga.

"Oppa, there's another question. You said before that we need to make him believe we're a couple." Hirai Momo's mind was clearly working hard too: "So, do we have to do some things that couples do?"

“That’s the truth.”

Ming Yan previously pretended to be a couple with Lim Na-yeon, and their actions, such as holding hands and touching cheeks, were incredibly natural, a testament to the tacit understanding cultivated through years of friendship.

Rabbit Teeth: That's because I really like you.

"So we need to practice now, otherwise our flaws will be immediately obvious." Hirai Momo quickly summarized this point. Akira, who had previously overlooked this, stammered, "Uh..."

"I remember that real couples always hold hands, oppa, come on."

Hirai Momo continued speaking to herself.

The girl was very proactive; she grabbed Mingyan's hand before he had even finished speaking, catching the man off guard.

"Momo, isn't this inappropriate?" Mingyan dodged slightly. Why did they suddenly start trying to hold hands?

“You just said it, we can’t let anyone see through us.” Hirai Momo argued vehemently, “If we don’t even dare to hold hands now, how can we expect people to believe us?”

It must be said that there is some truth to this.

The script not only includes dialogue scenes, but also uses actions to express the characters' inner emotions.

As a professional actor, Ming Yan understands the necessity of physical actions, as the effect of relying solely on words is very limited.

"You do not mind right?"

"Why would I mind? I've filmed romantic scenes in music videos too."

Hirai Momo loves to dance.

On stage, she has collaborated with male backup dancers quite often, and she is quite accepting of certain things.

After all, idols need to have some acting skills to a certain extent.

“Okay then.” Mingyan nodded.

If he continues to be pretentious, he'll seem to have ulterior motives; it's better for him to be open and honest.

The man grabbed Hirai Momo's hand and held it tightly.

The girl's hands were slightly stiff, clearly indicating some nervousness; there's a big difference between what she says and what she actually does.

Oppa's palms are so hot. Are all men's hands this hot?
"Momo, you need to relax. You can't have such a stiff expression on your face." Mingyan was slightly surprised at first, but quickly returned to normal: "Breathe naturally."

He is also experienced in directing acting, so he should have no problem mentoring Hirai Momo.

"Oppa, what did you say?"

Hirai Momo's heart was beating so fast that she didn't hear clearly what Mingyan was saying.

Mingyan laughed, and Hirai Momo's blank expression was perfectly natural: "Didn't you just say you had experience?"

"I meant I don't mind, when did I say I have experience?" Hirai Momo mumbled, her voice sticky and indistinct.

“Then you need to get used to it now.” Mingyan was already in character: “We’re playing a couple, so at least some of our little gestures should be as natural as possible.”

"Absolutely, absolutely do not blush."

"Has Nayeon unnie never blushed?"

“If Nayeon and I go out now, she can make me blush if we don’t hold hands.”

I took a taxi.

For an old married couple, holding hands is as simple as eating and drinking; they can understand each other's intentions with just a glance.

"Oppa, let's do it again." Hirai Momo took a deep breath.

She proposed this plan, and it also solved her problem; I can't let others work for nothing.

"Momo, you can't be so tense, you need to relax." Mingyan grimaced, "Also, don't hold my hand so hard, it hurts."

"sorry Sorry."

"It's okay, come here and stand next to me."

Mingyan was incredibly patient and began to use his skills in coaching acting, teaching Hirai Momo little by little how to portray the feeling of a couple.

The girl was quite perceptive, or perhaps love is something you don't need to learn; she was just too nervous before.

“Oppa, is it better if I do it this way?” Hirai Momo, drawing on similar ideas, even put her arm around Mingyan’s arm.

"hiss……"

"Why, can't it?"

"Okay, you've made progress."
