Peninsula: I run a bed and breakfast on Jeju Island

Chapter 78 Driver's License

"By the way, how was the feedback on your April Fool's Day vlog?" Li Ran asked casually.

"It's pretty good, isn't it?" Lee Ji-eun paused slightly, then nodded.

"I've seen a lot of comments from fans asking me to film another one next year!"

"The one pretending to drive?" Li Ran raised an eyebrow.

Lee Ji-eun had mentioned this to him before, saying that next year he would hold up a fake steering wheel in the passenger seat and then mirror the video to create the illusion that "Lee Ji-eun is driving".

This was quite a shock for her, who had always given the impression of not having a driver's license.

"Yes!" she nodded.

Li Ran smiled and said, "Then why don't you add a twist and actually get a driver's license?"

"At first, people think you've passed your driving test, then they find out it's a joke, and finally it turns out you actually passed your driving test."

Lee Ji-eun rolled her eyes. "Are you playing with nesting dolls?"

"Also, if getting a driver's license were that easy, do you think I would never take it?"

Li Ran gently stroked her chin. "Hard to say."

She wrinkled her nose. "I don't believe you had a smooth driving test all the way."

"Cough cough cough————" Li Ran coughed twice, picked up a piece of pork and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Hmm?" Lee Ji-eun's eyes lit up, her curiosity piqued.

"Is something really wrong? Tell me!"

Li Ran shook her head. "Nothing special. It's just that when I was practicing reversing into a parking space for my driving test, I scraped against the wall and broke the front of the car."

"Tsk!" Lee Ji-eun raised an eyebrow, suppressing a laugh.

"Really?"

"It's not like it's some glorious deed, why would I lie to you?" Li Ran said irritably.

He flipped through the photo album, looked for some pictures, and then showed them to her.

She glanced at it, raised her chin slightly, and said, "Looks like your driving skills aren't that great either! You're about the same as me."

Li Ran blurted out, "But I already have a driver's license."

Lee Ji-eun's face stiffened, and she pouted, "You even crashed the car!"

"I have my driver's license now." He crossed his arms and leaned back, repeating it over and over.

"That's all the Korean you know!" She rolled her eyes, somewhat deflated.

Seeing her expression, Li Ran suppressed a laugh.

He was just about to say something when he saw her take out her phone and tap on the screen.

What are you doing?

"Why don't you contact an agent to arrange driving lessons?"

Lee Ji-eun's fingers swiped rapidly across the screen.

"I'll film my vlog next year just like you said at the beginning. I'll start by acting with a fake steering wheel, and then pull out my driver's license at the end to amaze everyone!"

"You're really planning to take the driving test?" Li Ran glanced at her.

"certainly!"

Lee Ji-eun lowered her head and continued sending messages, "The worst thing about this kind of thing is dragging it out. Today you say you want to learn, tomorrow you'll think, 'Forget it,' and the day after tomorrow you'll start making excuses."

He raised an eyebrow. "Based on experience?"

"Words of wisdom about life." She nodded seriously.

Li Ran smiled.

"Ding-dong~"

A moment later, Lee Ji-eun's phone vibrated.

She glanced at the message and immediately frowned.

"What's wrong?" Li Ran asked curiously.

"Ugh! My agent asked me if I'd been drinking!" she said through gritted teeth.

"Cough cough cough." Li Ran almost choked.

He glanced at her, suppressing a laugh, and asked, "So, what did you reply?"

Lee Ji-eun said expressionlessly, "I said that I am very clear-headed now and have a very mature sense of road safety."

Did he believe it?

"Ding-dong~"

She glanced down and said, "Damn it, he told me to figure out how to ride a bicycle first!"

"Hahaha!"

Li Ran couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lee Ji-eun looked up and glared at him. "Is it that funny?"

"Just a little bit." He gestured.

She leaned back in her chair and let out a long sigh.

She suddenly looked at him and asked, "By the way, were you nervous the first time you drove on the road by yourself?"

"Of course I'm nervous!"

Li Ran thought for a moment, "Especially when there's no one in the passenger seat, you feel inexplicably uneasy, and you suddenly realize that there's no one to help you step on the brakes on the road."

"That sounds even scarier." She frowned.

Seeing her expression, Li Ran said, "So later I realized something."

"What?" Lee Ji-eun blinked.

"Don't think of yourself as a racing god." Li Ran picked up a piece of stir-fried pork. "If you feel you're a bit of a novice, you'll actually pay more attention to the road. That's safer."

Lee Ji-eun nodded thoughtfully. "That makes sense."

"But your mindset is actually quite suitable for learning to drive," Li Ran said casually.

"What kind of mindset?"

"It's because they're afraid something will happen."

Lee Ji-eun narrowed her eyes. "Are you praising me or insulting me?"

"I'm serious."

Li Ran smiled and said, "Many people are most dangerous when they first learn to drive, always thinking they can drift around corners."

"The next step was to successfully receive the accident package."

'

Lee Ji-eun was silent for two seconds.

"Suddenly I don't feel like studying anymore."

"Isn't it a bit too fast to give up now?" Li Ran picked up a piece of tofu.

She said in a serious tone, "I'm particularly good at making decisions when I'm excited, and then quickly calming down before I actually start."

"So how exactly do you manage to persevere in so many things?"

"Maybe it's because I still prefer winning." She shrugged.

"For me, almost every day is a battle."

"Let's see if I can pull off the plan I made before."

She raised her chin. "I win every day."

"Tsk. That sounds pretty cool. I win every day." Li Ran smacked his lips.

Lee Ji-eun smiled, somewhat smugly.

She glanced down at her phone. "How about I post on Instagram now, saying I'm preparing for my driver's license test?"

"Won't your manager come after you?"

"Never mind then." She realistically put away her phone. "Let me register first."

The dining table was quiet for a few seconds.

Lee Ji-eun suddenly spoke up, "Actually, I'm a little curious."

"Um?"

What was the first thing you wanted to do when you got your driver's license?

Li Ran thought for a moment, "and then drove around for a bit."

"If I actually pass the test, the first thing I'll do is definitely not drive very far."

"What's that?" He blinked.

"Let's sit in the parking lot for half an hour first," Lee Ji-eun said.

"Let's get used to it?"

"Take a picture!" she said matter-of-factly. "Something so memorable has to be posted on Instagram first."

"

Li Ran raised an eyebrow. "You celebrities really have to take photos of everything you do, it's like you're completing a side quest."

"What do you know?"

Lee Ji-eun snorted softly, "Life is often sustained by these little rituals."

After she finished speaking, she paused and then added a sentence.

"And what if I still don't dare to drive on the road in the future? At least I look like I'm a good driver in the photos."
