Peninsula: My e-sports dream shattered, I chose to become an actor.

After the passion subsided, Kim Ji-won, panting heavily, collapsed onto Lee Myung-yeop's arm, utterly exhausted.

After calming herself down a bit, she raised her head, her misty eyes meeting Li Mingye's gaze, her voice still slightly hoarse:

"How come you sing so well?"

Her expression revealed a hint of adoration, and her long legs unconsciously rubbed against Li Mingye's calves under the blanket, with a touch of affection.

"I studied it for a while before, but then I had to put it off because of something."

Li Mingye explained, half-jokingly.

Actually, he wasn't that interested, so he didn't continue. His singing talent was just so-so; he could be a top KTV singer, but he wasn't good enough for anything more.

However, after his physical functions were enhanced, his lung capacity and vocal cord control improved significantly, making his singing incredibly stable and his breath control frighteningly long.

"Have you ever thought about pursuing a career as a singer?" Kim Ji-won asked curiously, her eyes sparkling.

Li Mingye stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

That seems quite reasonable. Putting aside his singing ability, the main thing is that he has a lot of songs in his head, and it would be a waste not to use them.

He silently planted a seed in his heart, gently stroking Kim Ji-won's delicate cheek:

"I will think about it carefully."

Feeling that her words were valued, Kim Ji-won took the initiative to press her hand against Lee Myung-yeop's large hand, her eyes full of affection and a satisfied smile on her lips.

After a while, as the initial passion subsided and the period of reflection began, Kim Ji-won's expression turned somewhat self-pitying. Her eyes dimmed, and she spoke softly:

"Mingye..."

Her expression showed a hint of struggle, her pupils trembled slightly, and her voice was barely audible.

"Am I a bad woman? I know you have a girlfriend..."

Li Mingye gently stroked her hair, his eyes softening, and shook his head slightly.

"Nunna is a good woman, a woman who couldn't be better."

He held the woman in his arms tightly, resting his chin on the top of her head, his voice low and deep.

"If there has to be a bad guy, it's me."

……

The next day, Li Mingye's video of singing "Good Days" successfully topped the real-time search rankings.

He's been trending on social media just as frequently as Lee Min-ho these past few months. But just trending once isn't a big deal, since he's naturally a magnet for attention.

But this time the buzz is clearly extraordinary. Coupled with IU's national popularity and the recent conclusion of "The Heirs," the topic has been blown up.

What's going on? Why does she sing so well?!

Wow! That's totally professional singer level! Was that three high notes real?

[His performance was so stable it sounded like he was lip-syncing, but the live video clearly showed him singing live. Is this man really an actor?]

Is this what it means to be a singer whose talent for acting goes to waste?

Passersby were shocked and forwarded the video, while fans were overjoyed, feeling that their idol had gained another powerful tool to attract fans.

[He's truly a gem! May actor Lee always have a bright future!]

[Is JYP still not going to release an album for oppa after hearing these kinds of comments?]

[Is it okay to say that I sing better than other JYP artists? lol]

[Please release the audio already! I want to play it on repeat!]

Li Mingye scrolled through the comments from netizens with a smile on his face, in a good mood.

I'm tired of hearing compliments about his good looks and acting skills; this kind of praise sounds refreshing.

While I was browsing a post with over a thousand replies, Lim Nayeon called.

"Feed?"

"...Why didn't you tell me?"

Li Mingye frowned: "What didn't I tell you?"

"You can sing," Lim Na-yeon said with a hint of resentment.

She had no idea her boyfriend could sing so well! How infuriating! She had even shown off her singing in front of him and taught him singing techniques. It was like showing off her limited skills to an expert.

"You didn't ask," Li Mingye said matter-of-factly, even with a hint of taking the initiative. "Besides, I didn't even have a chance to show it."

"Hmph~"

Lim Nayeon gave a soft snort and didn't dwell on that. Instead, she started sharing her life and gossip with him, occasionally making a startling remark.

Li Mingye joked with a smile, "Keep your voice down, or your manager will notice."

"Don't worry, I hid and took a taxi." Lim Nayeon's voice was full of confidence, and Lee Myung-yeop could imagine the smug look on her face, "As expected of me," even through the phone.

After exchanging a few more words, the two reluctantly hung up the phone, and Lim Nayeon had to go back to practice.

Li Mingye put down his phone and then saw a message from Zhou Ziyu.

It's a little emoticon with hands poking each other, looking all wronged.

Li Mingye chuckled after reading it, but didn't immediately understand what it meant.

He typed a reply:

"What does this mean? Have you been wronged?"

"...Oppa sings so well."

It took a while before Chou Tzu-yu sent this message.

(Laughing and crying) Why did you use such an emoji when you praised me? I thought you were being bullied.

On the other side of the screen, Chou Tzu-yu pouted and tapped her fingers on the screen.

"Last time, oppa said in the car that I sang well."

"It sounds really good."

"You're lying, oppa sang much better."

"Just because I sing well doesn't mean Tzuyu sings badly," Li Mingye patiently comforted her. "Besides, you're improving so fast, you'll catch up with me sooner or later."

The words of comfort were well-placed, and Chou Tzu-yu felt a little more relaxed, her slightly furrowed brows smoothing out.

She was very happy when Li Mingye praised her before, feeling that she had made great progress. Then, after seeing the video of Li Mingye singing today, the difference was immediately apparent.

It suddenly made her feel ashamed of showing off in front of someone who was much more capable than herself.

What's that proverb about showing off your skills in front of someone?

Li Mingye then sent a message:

"If Tzuyu has any questions, she can ask me. Although I'm not a professional vocal teacher, I do have some experience and skills."

JYP's music teacher is not very good, which is something that Lim Nayeon complained about to him, so he is willing to help Tzuyu if he can.

When Chou Tzu-yu saw the cool emoji sent by Lee Ming-yeop, her eyes crinkled with joy, and she instantly forgot her earlier embarrassment.

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble? Isn't oppa very busy?"

"What's the big deal? I'm much freer than you think."

"Okay, thank you, oppa!"

……

Inside the JYP building, in the 6MIX practice room, several members are practicing their dance moves, sweating profusely.

When the song ended and the music stopped, the group was about to sit down to rest and rehydrate.

"Haha, Jinjia? (Really?)"

Lim Nayeon covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes crinkling into crescents, her gaze lively.

"Why would I lie to you?" Lena smiled and playfully raised an eyebrow at her.

They were talking about rumors circulating about GOT7, the boy group the company plans to launch.

—It seems that Li Mingye has feelings for Lin Nayan.

It's said that Wang Jiaer told the others in the group, and then somehow it got out.

"Are you close to him?" Lena asked naturally.

Yoo Jeong-yeon behaved normally, showing a slight expression of surprise as if she had just learned about it.

Park Jihyo, standing to the side, looked hesitant, biting her lower lip repeatedly, her eyes darting back and forth between Lim Nayeon and Lena.

This feeling of having gossip that you can't talk about is really awful.

"It's alright, I've seen him a few times at the company before."

Lim Na-yeon couldn't suppress her smile and waved her hand, her two rabbit teeth standing out prominently.

"Wow, could it be that a big star has fallen for you at first sight?" Lena nudged her with her elbow, her face full of gossip.

Suddenly, the practice room door was flung open with a bang, and the manager walked in with a grim expression.

The manager's gaze swept past everyone else and landed squarely on Lim Nayeon.

Her expression was somewhat gloomy, her eyes complex, and she spoke in a serious tone:

"Lim Nayeon, come with me for a moment."

Lim Na-yeon's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition welled up inside her.
