"Mom..." She tried to hold back her shyness and whispered softly into the phone.
However, the woman’s joyous laughter made her blush even more.
Miss Bae, who usually had a cool white complexion, was now turning pink. If someone else was in the room, they would have been startled by Bae Juhyun’s change.
"Wouldn’t it be better to ask Xin’an directly?"
Park Jinsuk called mainly to ask about Liu Xin’an’s recent situation.
She had watched the premiere of yesterday’s show live, and although she enjoyed it, she felt disappointed that her son’s screen time was too little.
Moreover, there wasn’t a single shot of Bae Juhyun.
Feeling dissatisfied as neither of the people she wanted to see appeared much, the woman was unhappy.
She initially thought of calling Liu Xin’an to ask about the situation, but upon seeing that he was live streaming, she decided after a few seconds to call Bae Juhyun instead.
Thus, this current scene came to be.
"I see Xin’an is streaming. He must be quite tired lately."
"Yeah... the pressure is pretty high..."
Bae Juhyun didn’t deny it. Last night, she slept with Liu Xin’an. Even though she quickly fell into a deep sleep out of exhaustion, she woke up once in the middle of the night and saw Liu Xin’an frowning in his sleep.
Recalling the displeasure she saw on Liu Xin’an and Momo’s faces during the first performance, Bae Juhyun was certain that her boyfriend was under significant pressure at that moment.
"Oh dear, this child has always been strong. But Juhyun, you don’t need to worry too much. For Xin’an, stress actually motivates him to work harder. It’s a good thing."
"I know, Xin’an is truly amazing. He’s the best among the four team leaders in this competition!"
Bae Juhyun’s voice was full of pride for her boyfriend. She had interviewed all the team leaders, and Liu Xin’an was the one who left the best impression.
She wasn’t biased just because she was Liu Xin’an’s girlfriend; it was a genuine feeling.
Hmm... of course, his looks were definitely a bonus, considering Liu Xin’an was the most handsome among the four team leaders. That was indisputable.
After all, appearance is justice!
"So I’ll leave taking care of Xin’an to you. His dad and I can’t be there."
"No problem! Don’t worry, leave it to me."
"Oh! By the way, will you and Xin’an have more opportunities to appear together? I watched your interview, and you two really match well, just like the comments say!"
Park Jinsuk’s excited tone made Bae Juhyun feel a bit embarrassed. How should she put this feeling...?
It was really strange.
"Yes, there will be more. My manager asked Xin’an to shoot a promotional video together, but it might take a few days to be released."
"As long as there are more, that’s great. I was worried there wouldn’t be any."
"There will be, don’t worry."
Bae Juhyun held her phone and softly responded to her boyfriend’s mom.
After chatting briefly, they ended the call, and Bae Juhyun relaxed completely.
Although Park Jinsuk was very kind, talking to her boyfriend’s mom definitely still made her feel flustered.
The knocking sound made Bae Juhyun collect herself. She instinctively looked towards the door and got up.
"It’s me, Juhyun unni, the beautiful Wendy~"
Son Seungwan’s familiar voice made Bae Juhyun smile from ear to ear. She jumped off the sofa, quickly walked to the door, and swung it open.
Holding a bag of barbecue, Son Seungwan appeared in front of her. Latest content published on novel~fire~net
Actually, Son Seungwan’s dorm was right next to the hotel. But recently, Son Seungwan had been so immersed in filming that she didn’t have much time to come back.
Today... was a small exception.
"Why did you suddenly come over? Don’t you have filming to do?"
"It’s normal to slack off occasionally. I can’t be working all the time, right? Come on, I need a break too!"
Son Seungwan huffed lightly, entered, and comfortably sat where Bae Juhyun had been sitting, relaxing completely.
"Ah~ so tired, so tired, every day is so exhausting. I feel like Taekyon oppa purposely set me up, having me join such a strenuous show."
Having not had a proper chance to speak Korean for many days, Son Seungwan opened her chatterbox, venting her frustrations to Bae Juhyun. Her continuous complaints made Bae Juhyun frown.
"Make sure you don’t let anything slip during filming."
"Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid. Are all mainland variety shows so competitive? Everyone works so hard."
She had always heard that Chinese entertainment wasn’t doing well, but Son Seungwan felt like... this show was even more intense than their preparations for comebacks.
Especially Song Ying from her own team...
After spending a lot of time with Song Ying, she even found Bae Juhyun gentler by comparison.
"Maybe because this competition is more intense... I watched the first performance, and everyone seemed quite unwilling to lose."
"That’s true... so many people cried that night. I don’t understand why they cry just because they lost once..."
Just win it back, what’s there to cry about.
"So why did you come back?"
"To keep you company. Taekyon oppa is gone, and Liu Xin’an can’t accompany you, so it’s up to me!" Son Seungwan patted her chest, indicating she’s got this covered.
"By the way, Juhyun unni, have you seen everyone’s comments?"
"Yeah, everyone praises you for being cute and beautiful, no wonder you’re the main vocalist among us."
