Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 754 Who is Ji-won unnie visiting on set? It's so hard to guess.

"Na-jung unnie, Sang-chun unnie."

Kim Ji-won followed Jung Won-ryong and met the two older sisters discreetly.

"Really... you came and saw Xiaoyan first, but not us, right?" Lin Shangchun pulled Jin Zhiyuan to his side, his tone nine parts joy and one part reproach.

Myung-eon, Kim Ji-won, Lim Sang-chun, and Kim Na-jung all started their meteoric rise with "Fight for My Way," making their relationship unique.

They've often met up privately over the years to exchange information and feelings, and they've long been good friends.

Jin Najing also complained, "Now that you have Xiaoyan, you've forgotten about us."

This is just playful banter between best friends.

"No, I arrived a little late yesterday."

Kim Ji-won was a little embarrassed by such a direct teasing.

"Hey, how far have things progressed between you and Xiaoyan?" Jin Najing asked, winking.

Although she is a director, she is actually not yet forty years old, making her a very young newcomer in the industry, so naturally she pays more attention to gossip.

Lin Shangchun laughed and said, "Is there even a question? They're already living together."

"Oh my, unnie~"

Kim Ji-won's face was flushed, but her attitude was basically tantamount to acquiescence.

While the three were talking, the support truck that Kim Ji-won had ordered arrived, with photos of Kim Na-jung, Lim Sang-chun, and Myung-eon printed on it.

If everyone's relationships are mixed up, it will be less likely to be exposed.

"Xiao Yan, it seems your girlfriend has brought something over." Kong Hyo-jin smiled and nudged Ming Yan beside her. The two of them had quite a few scenes together today.

“Nunna, I must correct one of your mistakes.”

"what?"

“Ji-won is older than me, so she’s not my little girlfriend.”

It's one thing for others, but Mingyan and Gong Hyojin still need to reveal some of the truth; there's no point in always hiding it.

Gong Hyo-jin laughed: "So that's what you wanted to correct."

Kim Ji-won had been looking over there for a while, her eyes fixed on the sight of Myung-eon and Gong Hyo-jin chatting and laughing.

She knew all too well how incredibly popular he was with women, appealing to both older and younger women, and even more so to mature older women.

"Alright, hurry up and go over there, or your eyeballs might fly out." Lin Shangchun gave her younger sister a push, and she and Jin Najing went to organize the other members of the crew to get coffee and lunch boxes.

Kim Ji-won spent a lot of money on this support truck; there are over a hundred people in the entire production crew.

Their dating expenses are quite high.

"Hello, Gong Hyo-jin, I am actress Kim Ji-won."

The girl came over and greeted them politely.

Gong Hyo-jin is a senior figure in the industry, and according to seniority, she should be mentioned first.

Kong Hyo-jin carefully examined the girl in front of her: "Ji-won, I hear this guy talking about you every day."

She wasn't surprised by the relationship between Mingyan and Kim Ji-won. After all, it's not uncommon for people in the industry to fall in love while working on a project, but it's rare for couples to actually end up together.

No one knows what the outcome will be until the very end.

"Noona, it's not that exaggerated, is it?" Mingyan chimed in from the side, helping Kim Ji-won to start a conversation.

“When I asked you last time, you were giving me the runaround, but now she’s even followed me to the set.” Gong Hyo-jin came to Kim Ji-won’s side: “You don’t need to call me sunbaenim anymore, just call me unnie.”

"Thank you, unnie~"

"That's great, how did Xiao Yan manage to win over such a well-behaved little sister?"

Gong Hyo-jin has a big sister vibe in real life, and even if she says something that sounds a bit presumptuous, it's not too surprising.

Kim Ji-won glanced at Ming-yeon. It seemed that this guy had indeed mentioned her to Gong Hyo-jin, and their relationship wasn't the kind she had previously thought.

Gong Hyo-jin: Sigh, I'm getting old. The man began to complain: "Noona, how did I become a liar?"

Gong Hyo-jin pulled Kim Ji-won toward the support vehicle, talking about something along the way.

Mingyan said there was no rush. Kim Ji-won could talk to anyone as long as it wasn't her. She would keep a low profile in public.

When the man arrived, several women were already taking pictures. Gong Hyo-jin seamlessly joined in, making it seem to outsiders that she and Kim Ji-won were already close friends.

"Ji-won, you don't mind me posting this on Instagram, do you?"

After taking the photo, Gong Hyo-jin turned around and asked a question.

"It's okay." Kim Ji-won is naturally introverted and not good at refusing others, and besides, the older sister's request wasn't unreasonable.

Kong Hyo-jin smiled and said, "Thank you for the coffee. I guess I benefited from that kid's kindness today."

"Onie~"

"Haha, what's there to be shy about? The coffee really does taste good."

After Mingyan arrived, he was also pulled aside to take a few photos, but there were no solo photos of him and Kim Ji-won; most of the photos were group photos of four or five people.

During filming, the girl stayed close to Lin Shangchun, but her attention was always quietly focused on Mingyan.

"Xiaoyan, if I hadn't reacted quickly, Jiwon would probably be jealous of me," Gong Hyojin said with a smile.

The man nodded: "That means you're quite charming."

"Yes, I'm forty years old, and it's really something to be happy about that I can still make a beautiful girl like Ji-won feel threatened."

Women's perspectives are really strange; Mingyan certainly never expected this.

I don't know if it was Kim Ji-won's arrival that cheered Ming-yan up, or if today's scenes were relatively simple, but in any case, the filming went very smoothly.

Kim Ji-won followed Lin Shangchun back to the hotel and waited for quite a while before sneaking back to Mingyan's room.

"Noona, isn't this too strenuous?"

Mingyan felt that this sneaky behavior was putting Kim Ji-won through too much trouble, and that he should cherish his own woman.

"It's alright. I chatted with Shang Chun for a while, and the time went by pretty fast." The girl didn't seem to think anything of it. To say it was sneaky was really just about moving from one room to another at the appointed time.

"What have you been talking about?"

Anyway, we didn't talk about you.

Kim Ji-won was being sarcastic; most of the conversation actually revolved around Ming-yan, since ordinary topics are never as interesting as gossip.

Mingyan put his arm around the older sister and said, "Nuna, you should go back tomorrow."

"What? Did I interrupt your good time?"

"I don't have any good things going on. It's just that this isn't convenient. Why don't I wait until I'm rested and go back to Seoul to see you?" His idea yesterday was a bit ill-considered. It really wasn't good for Kim Ji-won to stay.

"I think what Gong Hyo-jin unnie said today—that she would have pursued you if she were younger—was not a lie."

"How did this get involved with her?"

"I was just complimenting how popular you are with women~"

"If you weren't good, I wouldn't have been able to win you over in the first place."

After the two spent some time being affectionate, Kim Ji-won took out her phone and started scrolling through Instagram. Her visit to the set had already been posted by Kim Na-jung, Lim Sang-chun, and Gong Hyo-jin.

The girl just wanted to see the comments below; she knew what they would be like without even guessing.

"Ji-won unnie went to support 'When the Camellia Blooms,' but who she went to see is really hard to guess."

"Don't talk nonsense. Ji-won unnie was definitely going to see the director and screenwriter. It has nothing to do with anyone."

“Mingyan oppa always stands on the side when taking pictures. The more he tries to avoid suspicion, the more suspicious it seems.”

"This one is more interesting. Gong Hyo-jin has Myung-eon oppa on her left and Ji-won unnie on her right."

"Is Gong Hyo-jin also a CP fan?"
