This was a tricky topic to explain, even Juhyun couldn’t prove it.
What made it most difficult for Juhyun to explain was actually her own curiosity.
Before debut, their manager had indeed mentioned such matters to them.
But it was just orally conveyed, after all for celebrities, dating was manageable, there was still room to maneuver.
But if it turned into a pregnancy...
Playing it safe was good for the celebrities themselves, the company, and the fans.
When Juhyun initially received the small box from Park Jinsuk, she didn’t pay it any mind.
But later, perhaps driven by curiosity, and possibly because she would inevitably use it in the future, she opened the box herself with a "learning" mindset.
In other words, as long as the box had remained sealed and unopened, Juhyun could have explained it to Kang Seulgi.
"What are you guys talking about?"
Juhyun hastily stuffed the box into her clothes; after all, her hoodie was a looser fit.
Being seen by Seulgi was already beyond redemption, she should be thankful it was only Seulgi who saw it, the other three absolutely could not see it.
Otherwise, she really couldn’t clarify things.
...Upon reflection, she probably didn’t need to clarify at all, right?
"Nothing, found the scissors, hurry up, go on."
Juhyun flashed a perfect smile, took the scissors from Seulgi’s hand, held the blade with her hand, handed the handle to Son Seungwan, and pulled Seulgi into the room, "Seulgi and I have something to talk about, you guys go ahead!"
Seulgi didn’t resist, letting Juhyun pull her into the room. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by N0veI.Fiɾe.net
She was still confused, as she always believed her close sister wouldn’t do something so impulsive.
Now it seemed, it wasn’t just that Juhyun had lost her head; she might have gotten heated all over!
With a "bang," the bedroom door closed, Juhyun and Seulgi were completely separated from the other three members outside.
In this environment that now contained only each other, Juhyun first took the box, which was warmed with her body temperature and could lead to various thoughts, out of her clothes and placed it into her bedside drawer. Then she stared at Seulgi with wide eyes non-stop.
"Ah, rest assured, Juhyun unnie, I won’t tell anyone about this."
"No, no, you misunderstood, nothing has happened between Liu Xin’an and me!"
She felt it was necessary to explain to her close sister, this type of thing... embarrassment aside, the first thing to do was to regain her image in Seulgi’s mind.
She ought to be a sister perfect and pure as snow!
"...What nonsense are you talking about, it’s natural for couples to do this kind of thing, don’t feel shy, Juhyun unnie."
"It’s true, will you listen to my explanation?"
"How would you explain it?"
"This was given by Liu Xin’an’s mom that day, if I was really going to use it with Liu Xin’an, why not buy one from here? Why go for one from his country?"
This made Seulgi pause, thinking it over, it really did make sense.
If it was meant to be used, there was no reason to buy a foreign one, especially since Juhyun had been back from China for quite some time, nearly a month now.
One month’s time... could it be she stockpiled it?
How much did she use?!
After some thought, Seulgi shook her head.
No matter what the true circumstances were, it wasn’t her place to inquire.
She turned to Juhyun with a smile, then raised both her thumbs.
"Take precautions, okay!"
Juhyun was almost crying.
"Juhyun unnie, you don’t need to explain it to me, we’re all adults, and we can understand these things, but next time remember to keep it safe, it would be troublesome if Seungwan and others find it."
Well, Miss Bae gave up resisting, stop explaining, let the misunderstanding stand, after all, she and Liu Xin’an were lovers.
Doing what lovers do shouldn’t be a problem, right!
Convinced that she couldn’t clarify herself, Miss Bae started to brainwash herself.
Seulgi nodded, smiled, and then held Juhyun’s arm, "Let’s continue preparing, there’s still a lot waiting for you to decide on."
After bustling till almost midnight, the photo wall made by the five members of Red Velvet was finally finished.
It looked very pretty, 20 photos arranged in a heart shape in the center, flanked by various light strips and balloons floating in the air.
The dreamy scene had everyone snapping photos vigorously, of course, being Juhyun and Liu Xin’an’s anniversary, they made sure to take photos from the side, not capturing the ones on the photo wall.
In recent years, incidents of phones being hacked weren’t rare, if one day these photos got leaked, that would really be a big issue.
After a restful night, everyone got up early the next day, ready to go to work.
Today was already the 18th, Juhyun’s room was left as is, just keep it until tomorrow.
Before heading downstairs, Juhyun smartly changed her home’s entry code. Although she couldn’t imagine why Liu Xin’an would visit her home, well... since he was always meticulous, he somewhat influenced her to be more cautious as well.
Changing the entry code meant no matter what, he couldn’t enter.
Not being able to enter meant no chance of exposure.
