Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 672 Why Don't You Like Me?
"Tell me more about it."

Mingyan thought Hirai Momo was joking.

Who would claim to like scumbags? That's basically a product of compromise due to reality.

For example, Kim Ji-won, even though the two are still entangled and inseparable, that older sister must miss the world of just her and Ming-yeon in the 1.0 era.

Or there might be some overly compassionate, obedient girls or experienced sluts who will actively approach scumbags for various reasons, but their ultimate goal is basically to make the other person reform.

"Oppa, actually there are a lot of advantages to being with a scumbag." Hirai Momo said seriously, not at all like she was joking.

Mingyan became genuinely interested: "Tell me, what are the benefits?"

"If I were with a good man, it would definitely be very difficult, but it wouldn't be with a jerk."

"Wait, Momo, you've got it backwards."

Even though Mingyan himself was a bit of a jerk and naturally leaned towards his own side, he still couldn't immediately understand what the girl meant.

What Hirai Momo just said was... that being with a good man is what makes life difficult?
That doesn't make sense.

“Yeah.” Hirai Momo nodded. “Oppa, think about it. If you were dating a famously good woman, what would happen if you argued or broke up?”

"Of course it's all my fault." Mingyan seemed to understand the girl's thoughts a little.

When he broke up with Kim Ji-won, almost everyone around him supported the older woman, and even Kim Ji-soo expressed her disdain for him.

Of course, the breakup was his own fault for making a fuss, and it wasn't Kim Ji-won's fault. It just shows that the older sister has a good reputation.

Hirai Momo slapped her thigh, realizing that her oppa really understood her: "Yeah, when I date so-called good men, if we argue, everyone will probably think it's my fault. It's different with scumbags."

"Perhaps, the 'scumbag' was just a jerk to begin with?"

Mingyan is still trying to refute Hirai Momo.

He felt that the girl's perspective was flawed.

"It doesn't matter. Scumbags are usually really good at dating, so being with him will definitely be comfortable." Hirai Momo's big eyes were full of wisdom: "If there are problems, just break up. Anyway, if I break up with a scumbag, people will praise me."

"Hiss..." Mingyan gasped.

You know what, what Hirai Momo said actually makes a lot of sense, and even hits the nail on the head regarding the essence of love.

The primary purpose of dating is to make yourself happy. If being with someone only brings endless pain and torment, only a fool would yearn for it.

If you prioritize your own feelings, then whether the other person is a jerk or a good man doesn't seem to matter that much.

If they agree, they will unite; if they disagree, they will scatter.

"Oppa, am I right?"

"I need to think about it."

Indeed, people with simple thought processes are more likely to hold firm to their beliefs and won't think about irrelevant things.

Hirai Momo appeared to have a large meal, but in reality, she only ate the amount of food an average person would eat, or even less. She spent the rest of the time eating.

After the man finished eating and paid the bill, he said, "Momo, this place is really good, isn't it?"

"Delicious~" Hirai Momo squinted her eyes happily. The feeling of being full was wonderful, and she felt warm and full of energy.

“I’ve never been here with Nayeon before, you’re the first.”

"Really?"

The girl's eyes brightened slightly; she felt quite pleased to receive special treatment.

“Nayeon can’t get up to eat breakfast,” Mingyan immediately pointed out the crux of the matter.

"Oppa, Nayeon unnie can't get out of bed because of you, right?" Hirai Momo blinked. She wasn't some clueless little girl: "She praised you for being amazing."

"You guys even talk about these things?"

"I'm Nayeon unnie's best friend."

Mingyan decided to go back and have a good talk with Lim Nayeon. Although she should be happy as the one being praised, it still felt a little strange to hear such words coming from Hirai Momo's mouth.

The man restarted the car: "What else did Nayeon say to you?"

"Anyway, they're all compliments about you, and some complain about how popular you are with women." Rabbit Teeth had no shortage of complaints about her boyfriend, especially about Kim Ji-won.

It's full of resentment. Likes are likes, dissatisfactions are dissatisfactions, but in many things, it's best to just ignore it.

"It's not that exaggerated."

Of course, one cannot simply and casually put on the hat.

His popularity with women is due not only to his talent but also to his hard work.

"I think Nayeon unnie is right, oppa, you really are popular with girls." Hirai Momo got more and more excited as she talked, almost unable to stop: "Otherwise, you wouldn't have had the chance to be my boyfriend."

The man laughed and said, "That would truly be my honor."

"Of course, just because you're Nayeon unnie's boyfriend doesn't mean you'll definitely get my approval."

"I thought I had already gained your approval. Aren't we friends?"

"Hmm...that seems to make sense."

The two are great partners at the gym. Hirai Momo would occasionally touch Mingyan's abs and muscle lines to admire them, her eyes always shining and full of praise.

Yoo Jeong-yeon: I want to go to the gym too, I want to have abs too!

"Momo, then why don't you like Heechul hyung? He's alright, isn't he?" Since they were both talking about driving, Mingyan casually chatted with the girl.

Hirai Momo tilted her head and thought for a moment: "I'm not as handsome as you, I don't have as good a physique as you, and I'm older. Apart from being too enthusiastic, everything else is fine."

You don't really need any special reason to like or dislike something.

If a girl really dislikes Kim Heechul, she wouldn't have bothered with him in the first place.

It's good for us to be good seniors and juniors, but we're not at that point yet when it comes to taking things to the next level and becoming boyfriend and girlfriend.

"Compare with me..."

"Can't you?"

"No, it's just that with such high standards, it's easy to end up alone."

Mingyan was just joking.

"No way, aren't you my boyfriend now?" Hirai Momo's reaction was pretty quick; she could even pick up on the joke now.

The man chuckled, "I'm exactly the type of scumbag you like, aren't I?"

"Oppa, how many girlfriends do you have right now? I'm thinking about whether I should pursue you." The girl's eyes even seemed a little serious: "Nayeon unnie has only ever complained about Kim Ji-won sunbaenim."

"Isn't Nayeon enough for me? Be careful she hears this and breaks off all ties with you."

"Just don't let Nayeon unnie know."

Hirai Momo really does embody the principle of putting knowledge into practice.

"Momo, you've overlooked a very important issue." Mingyan glanced at the roadside signs. In the time it took to talk, they had already arrived in Gaoyang. All they needed to do now was find the location of the rescue station.

Hirai Momo, who didn't know the way and wasn't looking where she was going, asked, "What's the problem?"

"If you're pursuing me, then I have to say yes."

Who says men can't have the right to refuse?

"Oppa, why did you reject me?" Hirai Momo's mouth dropped open, and the girl deliberately puffed out her chest: "Am I not pretty enough?"

She didn't expect Mingyan to say that; at least she could have used Lim Nayeon as a reason.

"pretty."

"Then why don't you like me?"

"Because we were just chatting, and the boyfriend/girlfriend relationship was just an act."

The man decided to end the conversation and focused intently on the map on his phone's navigation.

The address given by Hirai Momo is not in Koyo City, and the road there is quite difficult to travel.

“Momo…” Mingyan turned around to ask the girl, but found that Hirai Momo seemed a little unhappy.

Forget it, I'll just find it myself.
