Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 701 I'm entrusting Nayeon to you.

"Who pursued whom between you two?"

To their surprise, Park Jin-young not only didn't make things difficult for them, but instead started gossiping.

“PDnim~” Lim Nayeon was a little embarrassed because she didn’t expect her boss to be interested in this.

Mingyan answered quite frankly: "If we start counting from when we first met, then it was Nayeon who I liked first."

Rabbit Teeth glanced at her boyfriend in surprise.

From liking someone to confessing her feelings, it seems like she's always been the one taking the initiative.

"Nayeon has always been an outstanding child."

Park Jin-young nodded in agreement.

“PDnim, I thought you would…” Lim Nayeon didn’t know what to say for a moment. Although she hadn’t violated the dating ban, she had still been in a relationship during her promotional period.

If it were a relatively unknown celebrity, it wouldn't be a big deal, but for the ACE of a popular group, dating is risky.

She did make some mistakes.

“You thought I would criticize you.” Park Jin-young shook his head: “Actually, I’ve seen similar situations many times. It’s really hard for young people to control themselves.”

He has mentored so many young people that he is used to many things, or rather, he can understand them.

Mingyan could probably guess what JYP was worried about: "President-nim, my relationship with Nayeon will be kept strictly confidential."

Many things, if you don't weigh them, they're nothing; but if you do weigh them, they're nothing.

Take dating as an example. It's not that idols can't date, but they have to hide it well, so that no one knows. If no one knows, then they don't have a relationship.

Many second- or third-generation idols have no scandals during their active years, but when they go on variety shows after they've faded from popularity, it turns out they all had relationships back then.

Some people have even had more than one relationship.

Of course, fans will hate such revelations, since it's not something to be proud of and it will make people have negative associations with their idols who are currently active.

"That's what I wanted to say. In principle, I don't object to you dating, but Nayeon has to remember that as an idol, she also has to be responsible to her fans."

Park Jin-young has learned his lesson.

He held a press conference to apologize for his relationship back then, and although it's not as serious now, the nature of the public opinion he faces is still the same.

"Yes, PDnim, I understand." Lim Nayeon obediently accepted the instruction; she could easily distinguish between good and bad words.

Park Jin-young then looked to the other side: "Myung-ssi, I also have to thank you for your understanding. Dating an idol is very hard."

"President Park, I accompanied Nayeon to her trainee audition back then, so I understand her perfectly."

Mingyan's two good friends are both idols, and he himself is also a public figure, so he is naturally not someone that a newbie in the entertainment industry can compare to.

"That's good. I sincerely hope you can make it to the end."

"Thank you."

Park Jin-young was actually worried that Lim Na-yeon would forget about other things after falling in love, and he wanted to emphasize that love is not everything in life, and that career is equally important at this stage.

If Rabbit Tooth disregards her responsibilities as the eldest sister and ace, and only thinks about romance, it will cause a lot of trouble for the group.

This also requires Mingyan's cooperation, as there are many bad people in the entertainment industry, and cases of PUA and brainwashing girlfriends are not uncommon.

Fortunately, after talking with Mingyan, he confirmed that the young man was not that kind of person.

With such a sensible boyfriend, Lim Na-yeon's chances of finding love are much lower.

After listening to Park Jin-young's words, Lim Na-yeon noticed that her boss and boyfriend were having a very pleasant conversation, talking about everything from organic vegetables to religious beliefs, and they seemed to be just short of having a drink together.

Park Jin-young patted the young man's shoulder hard: "Myung-yeon, if I ever start my own organic vegetable brand, I'll definitely ask you to be my spokesperson."

"Then I'll wait and see. The concept of green and healthy living has great potential."

"Oh, by the way, the church I work at has sermons on weekends. I'll introduce you to a priest."

"Unfortunately, I'm preparing for a new film and probably won't have time."

The meal proceeded smoothly and happily without any tense atmosphere.

After thanking Mingyan for the gift, Park Jin-young asked his two daughters for autographs before leaving.

"How come I didn't know you went to church?" Lim Nayeon pinched her chin, looking her boyfriend up and down. "I don't have that habit, of course you wouldn't know." Mingyan waved his hand: "Your boss likes to hear this, so I'm just saying a few words to flatter him."

He developed this ability to speak to people in a human language and to ghosts in a ghost language little by little.

Rabbit Teeth pouted: "I think PDnim would love for you to switch careers and become an idol right now."

That's because he didn't hear me sing.

“That’s right, even though Jisoo and I taught you so much, you still couldn’t change.”

Jisoo and Nayeon had already noticed that Myung-yeon was tone-deaf.

When they were kids, every time they went to karaoke, someone's voice would infuriate the two girls because it was really awful.

As good friends, the two girls tried to teach Mingyan to sing, at least to a normal level, but they couldn't manage it no matter how many times they tried. It seemed that God had completely closed the door to singing for men.

There's nothing we can do about it.

"The ramen here is really good, I can come again next time." I was so busy chatting with Park Jin-young that I didn't eat much.

Lim Nayeon was similar: "No wonder PD-nim chose this place, would you like another bowl?"

"Okay, we can share it."

"Ah."

The two of them finished three bowls of ramen before they were finally full.

"Nayeon, did I pass the test just now?" Mingyan looked at his girlfriend with a smile.

After meeting Park Jin-young, Rabbit Tooth felt even less psychological pressure.

No matter how much you're obsessed with love, you can't live only for yourself; you also have other responsibilities.

Lin Na-yeon pretended to think for a moment and said, "It's so-so."

"This is just passable?"

"You've passed, alright?" The girl finally broke into a big smile: "Next time I see you, I can openly tell my manager unnie."

"Didn't your agent already know?"

"That was because we had the PD's side in mind, but things are different now."

It's one thing for the company to know, but it's quite another for the company to approve.

She has a little more freedom now, but Park Jihyo is definitely not as relaxed as she is.

Moreover, the team leader's boyfriend did not explicitly state that she had such a large degree of autonomy, nor did he say that she had to consider the company's perspective in everything she did.

"By the way, Nayeon, let's go to Thailand this holiday." Mingyan suddenly remembered that he should discuss the trip with his girlfriend.

The United States and Europe are too far away, while Thailand is just right, and relatively familiar to me.

Without any hesitation, Lim Nayeon nodded directly: "Okay."

"So refreshing?"

"Where we go to play doesn't matter, as long as I can be with you, that's enough."

Rabbit Teeth's gaze towards Mingyan was almost dripping with longing; every time she thought about such a wonderful man belonging to her, it felt a little unreal.

"Tsk, I'm finding myself getting stuck with this situation." Mingyan shook his arm. "Looks like I won't be able to run away from here anymore."

"Hey, do you want to die?" Lim Nayeon's eyes immediately turned hostile.

You bastard, you dare to say anything.

"Nayeon, I was wrong."

The man was very perceptive; seeing that Lin Nayeon was angry, he quickly raised his hands in surrender.

"Too late. Who told you to find such a clingy girlfriend? There's no way you can escape her in this lifetime."

"You said it, you'd stick with me for life, not even a second less."
