Peninsula: It all started with the breakup

Chapter 7 Two Cunning Women

Seeing Xie Mingmu scratching his head, Sana Minato found it somewhat amusing; he was clearly trying to sneak a peek at Mina. So, she devised a plan, approached Mina, and began whispering in her ear.

Mina didn't think too much about it. This situation was normal. She didn't dislike it at all; on the contrary, she liked it because she was being given good things to share. It was a two-way street.

Actually, whispering in someone's ear is a necessary form of communication for idol groups. The places they frequent are usually very noisy, and if they can't get close enough to talk, they'll have to shout. This habit has developed over time.

"Mina-chan, what's your relationship with that person?" Minatozaki Sana finally asked the question. Although she had imagined many scenarios in her mind, she wanted to hear Mina's confirmation in person. Otherwise, her curiosity would keep her tossing and turning at night with this question.

For the optimistic Sana Minatozaki, she would never waste her time internally and would resolve everything quickly. Rather than letting this question bother her, she would rather throw the question to Mina. Even if Mina didn't answer, it didn't matter, since Mina was the one who was suffering at this moment anyway.

Mina was still admiring the swaying waves when Sana Minato suddenly said something like that. Actually, she hadn't sorted out her feelings yet. She broke up with him directly and cut off all contact to prevent herself from regretting it.

If it were any other member, Mina would make up a reason, but she didn't want to lie to her best friend in the group, who was also from the same country.

Although Mina didn't want to lie to her, the truth was indeed hard for her to say. It wasn't that she felt ashamed to have Xie Mingmu as her ex-boyfriend; in fact, she was only with him because she was attracted to his good looks.

Mina was also worried that if she told her teammates, they might use it as gossip and tease her every day. They might even let it slip, which was inevitable.

If the fans find out, it will be a major blow to the couple. Even though he's just an ex-boyfriend, it's still something the fans find hard to tolerate. Lost in thought, back to the question, Mina decided to lie to Sana Minatozaki.

"It's alright."

"It's okay?" Sana Minato said with a smile. Once you've made up your mind about something, no matter how much others deny it, even if it's the truth, people will only believe what they believe.

If someone tells the truth, you'll think: I guessed right! If someone lies, you'll think: You're lying, this must be what I think it is, I'm so smart, I saw through her lie!

"What I mean is, we're just friends. We only met in a dance class." Mina, seeing Sana's inquisitive look, continued to explain, "You know me, I've always gone to all-girls schools. It's just that I became interested in K-pop in my first year of high school, so I started learning other dance styles, and that's how I met him."

"Oh~~" Minatozaki Sana drawled out, as if she understood.

"I didn't expect to run into him on the peninsula, so I was quite happy! After all, he's an acquaintance." Minami became more and more guilty as she explained. In fact, the more words a person uses to explain something, the more likely they are to be lying. One lie requires more lies to complete it.

The girl with dark skin, who was standing to the side in a daze, noticed the panic in Mina's tone. Recalling the interaction between Mina and the masked man earlier, and now that Mina was explaining the relationship between the two, her gossipy soul was burning.

For a young girl who came to a foreign country at such a young age, love was a very vague emotion. Although many men approached her, she still refused them, not because she was particularly chaste, but because she had no feelings for them.

It's not that she didn't have someone she felt a connection with, but the other members of the group explicitly helped her reject those with bad intentions, and she was well protected.

Mina explained, and then felt a warm breath on her other ear again: "Mina unnie, what are you guys talking about?"

It has to be said that the little black girl is quite cunning. The reason she came closer was to gossip about the relationship between the two. Even though she had already heard it, she still insisted that Mina explain it again. She just loves to see the unnies get embarrassed. This is one of her most enjoyable interests.

Mina was already struggling to deal with Sana Minatozaki, but then an even more troublesome one joined the fray. Faced with the little black girl's question, she paused for a moment, which literally burned out her CPU.

"Enough! Don't come near my ear anymore!"

Xie Mingmu's words attracted the attention of the other team members, who all turned to look at him. Lin Nayeon, who had been grinning and talking to Hirai Momo, asked, "What?"

"Didn't you see? Those two are getting so close to Mina, they're practically kissing her ear!"

"What's wrong with this? We've always done it this way." The little black girl blinked her eyes and asked Xie Mingmu earnestly.

Sincerity is the ultimate weapon. Faced with the little black girl's question, Xie Mingmu suddenly realized that he had overreacted and was completely shut down by her.

"Yeah, what's wrong with this? You guys...?" Minatozaki Sana didn't finish her sentence, but looked at Xie Mingmu expectantly, hoping he could continue the conversation. If he did, things would get really interesting.

Before Xie Mingmu could think of an answer, he was attacked by Minatozaki Sana again, and Xie Mingmu found himself in the same situation as Mina earlier, staring at each other for a moment.

"What are you trying to do now?" Mina, noticing Xie Mingmu's predicament, suddenly spoke up: "Quiet down!"

Xie Mingmu felt like he had been granted a pardon. "Okay." He obediently sat down. If it weren't for Mina offering him a way out, he wouldn't know what to say. Otherwise, it would have been too awkward and embarrassing.

However, everyone else guessed from Xie Mingmu's behavior that there must be something fishy about the relationship between Mingjing and him. They might not be shrewd, but after more than a year in the industry, they could at least read people's expressions.

Kim Da-hyun, who was resting with her eyes closed, was also shocked by this scene. She was already worried about Momo, and now she was even more worried.

She was now a little afraid that Mingnan would be lured away by Xie Mingmu. Just by listening to their interaction, she knew that the two must have had a relationship before. Moreover, judging from their conversation, their old feelings had not died down and could easily ignite into a wildfire!

She, who had been calmly and confidently resting with her eyes closed, opened them wide, her gaze constantly shifting between Xie Mingmu and Mina. "How can I save you? My Mina unnie."

She looked at Xie Mingmu. Although he was wearing a mask, his messy bangs gave her the impression that he was the kind of man who loved to flirt and must have been with countless women! This kind of person was not suitable for Mina unnie.

"I must find a way to expose his true colors; I can't let Mina unnie jump into this fire again!"
