Peninsula: From a supporting actor to the best actor in Chungmuro

Chapter 49: Extras Promoted to Female Second
It was already late at night when the news that Jessica Jung was scolded by Lee Sung Kyung for looking for Kang Jae Hoon reached Yoona's ears.

The voice message from Kwon Yuri about eating melons echoed in my ears.

As she listened, the corners of her lips, which were originally smiling, suddenly tightened.

One is a female model who has been sharing the apartment with me for many years, and the other is a stinky sister with a girlish heart.

——I was inexplicably matched with two opponents.

"It's a bit difficult..."

The whispers spread on the glass window, reflecting the silhouette of Yoona biting her lower lip.

The moment the night wind lifted the gauze curtain.

She caught a glimpse of a stray cat downstairs running under the car with something in its mouth.

The phone rings.

Lucian, controlled by e-sports girl Lee Sun-kyu, used his displacement skill and crashed into the wall.

"Lin Yuna, you better have something big going on!"

"Is Ernie playing games?"

"A new LOL hero is online, I want to try it out!"

The moment the screen turned gray, Lee Sun-kyu slapped the mouse.

In the chat box on the lower left, cordial greetings came from teammates:
【Flash grave relocation?】

【Eat with rice】

【15 votes】

[My grandma's hands are shaking with this operation]

【…】

Lee Sunkyu silently blocked out her teammates' comments, and after resurrecting, she controlled Lucian to circle around the defensive tower:
"This hero's voiceover sounds familiar. A bit like the lady who voiced Gru?"

"Kang Jae-hoon?"

"Yes, yes! Listen—"

The moment the R skill was pressed, the game sound effects accompanied Lucian's roar.

"For Senna!"

"...It's really him." Lin Yuner's voice was filled with laughter. "He has quite a wide range of business."

"This voice, tsk tsk..."

Lee Sunkyu ignored the question mark thrown at her by her teammates: "By the way, why are you calling?"

"I'd like to ask what I need to prepare to adopt a stray cat."

"The litter box, the airline box, and your motherly love that has nowhere to go."

Lucian died again in the background, and Lee Sunkyu leaned back on her gaming chair:
"I suggest you get it sterilized first, otherwise it will howl at night and make you question your life."

"I've got it." The sound of papers shuffling could be heard.

"and many more!"

Lee Sunkyu suddenly realized: "You want to get a cat?"

"The city hall promotes caring for stray animals."

"Come on, your schedule is overflowing, how can you have time to take care of it?"

"There will always be a way."

"Okay, I'll take you to the Cheongdam-dong pet store tomorrow to shop."

The moonlight outside the window moved onto the gift box, and Yoona Lin gently closed the velvet lid.

Some battles don't require gunpowder, a cat is enough.

……

In a private room of a western restaurant in Apgujeong.

Park Hyung-sik was squatting in the corner debugging the equipment, while Kim Ji-won was putting Bluetooth headphones on Krystal Jung.

The whole scene doesn't look like an ordinary dinner party, but more like the filming site of a variety show.

A white sweater paired with a black A-line skirt is the result after she tried ten outfits - elegant yet girlish. The lip gloss is the "man-attracting watery peach color" that Kim Ji-won forced herself to apply.

"Test, can you hear me?"

Park Hyung-sik lowered his voice and confirmed into the headset.

"Yeah." Krystal nodded slightly.

"Remember, touching your earlobe is a distress signal. We're right next door."

Before leaving, Kim Ji-won winked at her and made a cheering gesture.

Within a moment.

Jiang Jae-hoon pushed open the door of the box.

Krystal immediately covered the lower half of her face with the menu, and her blinking eyelashes looked like two fluttering swallowtail butterflies were hiding there.

"Awaited."

"No, I just arrived too."

"Bona today..."

"Just call me Xiujing."

Suddenly, Jin Zhiyuan pounded the table in frustration over the Bluetooth headset:
"Ask him if he wants to sit next to you!"

"You..." Krystal opened her mouth, but before she could finish her words, Kang Jae-hoon had already pulled out the chair opposite and sat down.

"Huh? What's wrong?" He looked up.

"No, nothing..." Zheng Xiujing pursed her lips, "What did you want to say when you walked in just now?"

"Oh, I was just about to say Bona..."

"Xiujing!" she corrected again.

"Ah...sorry."

Jiang Zaixun scratched his head: "Xiujing looks beautiful today."

"Yes, it's the credit of the crew's makeup artist."

The waiter appeared at the right time to save Krystal's toe project.

"What would you two like to order?"

In the headset, Jin Zhiyuan's voice immediately sounded:

"Order the red wine braised beef ribs! When you're a little tipsy, your eyes will turn watery! The atmosphere is just perfect!"

As Zheng Xiujing's fingertips brushed against the red wine-braised beef ribs, Jiang Zaixun's voice rang out simultaneously:

"Kimchi fried rice with a fried egg, please."

The waiter's ballpoint pen was suspended in mid-air as he glanced at him with a hint of surprise.

Noticing the waiter's look, Krystal slammed the menu shut.

"Caesar salad for starters, two wine-braised beef short ribs for main course, grilled seasonal vegetable platter for side dishes, and tiramisu for dessert."

Jiang Zaixun stared at the price tag of 49800 won on the beef ribs, and his Adam's apple rolled:

“I eat fried rice…”

"An apology must be sincere."

"Actually, Senior didn't say anything excessive..."

"I'll treat."

She interrupted faster than the waiter could take the order.

After two seconds of silence, Jiang Zaixun finally compromised:
"...Then let's do as she says."

After the waiter put away the menu and left, the box fell into a subtle silence.

Jin Zhiyuan's instructions came again in the headset:
[The air is frozen! Ask him why he agreed to eat!]

Krystal clenched her napkin tightly;
"Um...why did you come to the appointment?"

"Didn't Bona... Didn't Soojung say she was apologizing on her sister's behalf?"

"What if I say it has nothing to do with Ernie?"

"So that's a dinner with friends?"

After a brief pause, Jiang Zaixun added: "Next time, you can invite Hyung Shik and others. It will be more lively with more people."

Zheng Xiujing's eyes lit up:
"Do you think we are friends?"

"Of course it counts!"

Jiang Zaixun counted on his fingers:

"Filming together, rehearsing lines, sharing oranges..."

"Sharing oranges counts?!"

“Sharing food is the foundation of friendship.”

The waiter pushed the food cart and broke open the door of the private room.

"Your Caesar salad."

"Thank you."

In the next box.

Park Hyung-sik stared at Zheng Xiujing's eyes that suddenly lit up on the surveillance screen and poked Kim Ji-won:
"Why is she laughing when Jaehoon said he's just friends? Why is she so happy about being given the nice guy card?"

"Idiot! She's not my sister, she's not my colleague, she's my friend—"

"so?"

"Lovers evolved from friends!"

Park Hyung-sik slapped his palms in sudden realization:
"I get it! Just like in RPGs, you have to first improve the NPC's favorability before you can unlock the romance quest!"

"Brush your head."

Kim Ji-won rolled her eyes:

"The key point is that she's now been promoted from 'colleague on the set' to 'friend you can have dinner with', which is like going from a supporting role to the second female lead!"

"Then when can I become the heroine?"

"Analysis from the perspective of film and television structure——"

Kim Ji-won used a fork to draw a distribution map in the steak sauce:
"It requires the introduction of family resistance, villains disrupting the situation, or romantic rivals, such as an epic BOSS like her sister."

"What about reality?"

"Reality, just let it happen naturally."

Park Hyung-sik stared at the video screen where Zheng Xiujing's mouth was curved more than the moon, and muttered:
"Then we might as well hope that Brother Xun will suddenly be struck by lightning and become enlightened..."
