Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 682: A bouquet of flowers represents marriage.

The wedding that Mingyan mentioned was for one of Kim Jisoo's cousins.

He'd been hanging out with that guy since he was little, and was treated like a son by Kim's parents, so naturally he knew all of the girl's relatives.

Both of them received invitations from their cousin, but she reminded Mingyan several times afterward, since Kim Jisoo tends to forget things.

"Is your congratulatory song ready?"

He made it clear that he needed to be reminded.

At Korean weddings, the core of singing congratulatory songs is to convey blessings through music. Coincidentally, Kim Ji-soo is a singer, so having a celebrity sing a congratulatory song is a very prestigious thing.

Mingyan had originally volunteered himself, but was rejected without hesitation.

If someone who is tone-deaf sings a congratulatory song, who knows what the guests will say when they get home.

"Oh dear, I'm not stupid, how could I forget?" Kim Jisoo was very dissatisfied with someone's attitude; it was obvious that they didn't trust her.

She even consulted Park Chae-young.

Mingyan remained noncommittal to the guy's protest: "That's good. I'll pick you up from your dorm the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I'm going to sleep now."

"I'll make you sleep to death."

"You yourself sleep like a pig, and you're criticizing me."

……

The wedding day arrived quickly.

Mingyan changed into a handsome suit and drove to BLACKPINK's dormitory to wait for Kim Jisoo.

A large part of the reason he bought the car was to make it convenient to take Jisoo and Nayeon with him when he went out, but neither of them has shown any intention of getting a driver's license yet.

Don't ask, the answer is someone will pick you up and drop you off.

He has an agent at work and famous quotes in his life.

"You look great today."

Jisoo's outfit was relatively simple, consisting of ordinary jeans and a suit jacket, but the stiletto heels she wore added a touch of gentleness to her look.

"It's alright, I'm this handsome every day." Mingyan didn't mind acting a little greasy in front of Kim Jisoo, since the two of them knew almost everything about each other.

Kim Jisoo tossed her a white gift envelope: "Keep my gift money with you."

"Okay, I'll deliver them together later."

Korean wedding customs are different from those in China.

Red envelopes are not given at weddings here because red symbolizes separation; instead, white envelopes are used for monetary gifts.

The amount of the wedding gift cannot be an even number; it must be an odd number to symbolize that the newlyweds' marriage will not end in separation. It is also necessary to avoid unlucky numbers such as four and seven.

"My cousin got married, and my older sister got married too." Kim Jisoo stretched her legs boredly. "Luckily I'm an idol, otherwise my mom might be pressuring me to get married too."

"Do you want to get married?"

"I haven't thought about it. Marriage isn't all that great. I'm perfectly content with my life now." Kim Jisoo rested her chin on her hand, gazing at the street scene flashing past the window.

Mingyan nodded: "Indeed."

He has little confidence in marriage. Calling him a non-marriage advocate might be an exaggeration, but starting a family gives Mingyan an unspeakable sense of fear.

Fortunately, the special nature of Lim Na-yeon and Kim Ji-won's professions, coupled with their relatively young age, gave the men room to escape.

Escape is shameful, but useful.

Kim Jisoo glanced at her friend; the guy was still the same old deadpan.

"Anyway, we're just living together, so whether we get married or not doesn't seem that important." Mingyan continued, seemingly trying to explain something, but he couldn't quite articulate it clearly.

However, Kim Jisoo understands: "When we get old, I'll just ask you to take care of me and Nayeon. We can just turn our house into a nursing home."

"I'm physically fit enough to carry you all to the hospital without any problem."

"I don't want to go to the hospital."

Kim Jisoo hates the smell of hospitals.

The two bickered and argued all the way to the hotel where the wedding was to be held.

Mingyan delivered the wedding gift money for him and Kim Jisoo to the wedding reception area. The white envelopes all had names written on them, so there was no need to worry about not knowing who sent it. "Unnie~" Kim Jisoo's aegyo (cuteness) was very appropriate for the occasion. As soon as she saw her cousin, she went over and gave her a hug.

Actually, most guests just find a place to sit down first, and the bride and groom don't have time to entertain them. They can take photos and toast after the wedding, which everyone understands.

However, since Kim Jisoo will be singing a congratulatory song today, she will naturally have some special privileges.

"Our big star is here!" Kim Jisoo's cousin smiled and put her arm around the girl. "Where's Xiaoyan?"

She knew that her younger sister had been bound to Mingyan since childhood.

"Nunna, I'm here."

Mingyan was a few steps behind when he caught up; he had just met someone who wanted to take a photo with him.

Given his current popularity, it's perfectly normal for him to run into fans at a wedding. Besides, passersby will also want to take photos with celebrities. It's always better to be peaceful and harmonious on such a joyous occasion.

"If I weren't worried about you being too busy, I would have wanted you to be my best man." My cousin affectionately pulled Mingyan over.

As a relative of Kim Ji-soo, she had a good impression of Ming-yeon since childhood.

It's normal for a clean-cut, good-looking boy with a pleasant voice to be liked.

However, Mingyan basically only played with Kim Jisoo and even stood up for her cousin in a fight. Later, the whole family knew that the two little ones had become close and practically grew up together.

A childhood sweetheart relationship that's 100% real, the kind that's certified by family.

Mingyan smiled and said, "Nuna, as long as you ask, I will make time for you even if I don't have it."

He shook hands with his cousin's husband, who is a plastic surgeon, a very respectable profession in South Korea, mainly because it pays well.

"Xiao Yan, you're now our hospital's male plastic surgery template."

"Really? That's such an honor."

South Korea is a major country in cosmetic surgery.

When ordinary people choose a plastic surgery template, they often choose celebrities who frequently appear in the public eye. Mingyan is a typical male template, after all, he is indeed handsome.

Strangely enough, when women choose plastic surgery templates, Jennie from BLACKPINK is the most popular.

From Mingyan's perspective, Kim Jisoo has the most quintessential Korean looks, while Jennie represents what many Korean girls aspire to be.

However, many things are not simply determined by appearance.

Mingyan and Kim Jisoo chatted with the bride and groom for a while before returning to the front. Their seats were in the family section.

"Are you nervous?" Mingyan joked with his friend.

Kim Jisoo rolled her eyes: "Oh, I'm a big star who's even held concerts."

"Go, big star!"

"Humph~"

Although Kim Jisoo's abilities have been questioned since her debut, she's still good enough to sing a congratulatory song.

To put it bluntly, at this point, it's not so much about how well they sing, but rather who's singing. BLACKPINK's current popularity is enough to make their parents proud.

Mingyan was in the audience and recorded Kim Jisoo singing on his phone.

I'll post it in the group chat later so that Kim Minjung, Lim Nayeon, and Kim Jiwon can all enjoy it.

"How was my performance?" The girl immediately started showing off to Mingyan after singing the congratulatory song.

"Not bad, as expected of BLACKPINK's Kim Jisoo."

"It's good to know."

Kim Jisoo doesn't care about other people's opinions. As long as Mingyan thinks it's good, her task for the day is complete.

At the end of the wedding, there is a bouquet toss by the bride.

Mingyan originally didn't plan to join in the fun, but Kim Jisoo pulled him over and made him stand in the middle of the crowd.

"One, two, three." The bride's hand swayed in time with the countdown, and as the last number fell, the bouquet in her hand flew into the crowd.

Mingyan subconsciously raised his hand and caught the bouquet in one go.

Then, on a whim, he handed it directly to Kim Jisoo.
