As long as you’re a fan paying attention to Bae Juhyun, you can’t possibly not recognize this hairpin; it’s just too distinctive.
Bae Juhyun’s lips, hidden under the mask, pressed together, her eyes revealing reluctance, but she obediently took off her baseball cap and removed the hairpin from her hair.
"There’s a hat, they won’t notice."
"Can you guarantee you’ll always keep your hat on?"
This time Bae Juhyun didn’t respond, because she really couldn’t guarantee it.
"You should wear a mask too. You’re also kind of a public figure now. If I’m not recognized, but you are, it’ll be troublesome."
"Hmm, you’re right. I’ll get one."
Soon, the "faceless couple" finished a selfie together with their disguises on.
Immediately after, Bae Juhyun quickly sent the selfie to their group chat.
"Seulgi: Where are you two going?"
"Wendy: Juhyun, thank our brother-in-law for us! We’ll enjoy the vacation he helped us get!"
"Yerin: Juhyun unnie and Liu Xin’an really suit each other. Honestly, I’m a fan of their couple too!"
"Hahaha, the kids are all thanking you for the vacation you got them."
Sitting in the passenger seat, Bae Juhyun chuckled charmingly while typing on her phone.
The infectious laughter made Liu Xin’an grin involuntarily.
"Tell them not to just thank me verbally. They should at least treat me to a big meal, right?"
"Okay, I’ll tell them... Hmm, Seulgi says, can we use front row tickets to our comeback stage as thanks?"
"What kind of thanks is that? You don’t even need to give those out, I could just ask for them." Liu Xin’an laughed, feeling both amused and a bit too easily placated.
"Hmm, let me check..."
During a red light, Liu Xin’an glanced over at Bae Juhyun, who was busy on her phone with her mask pulled down to her chin, revealing her stunning face. Even as her boyfriend, Liu Xin’an still felt awed by her beauty.
"By the way, don’t you have a concert for this comeback?"
Concerts held a special significance for Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun.
After all, it was at an S-M family concert that Liu Xin’an discovered Bae Juhyun’s identity. If possible, he wanted to properly attend one of his girlfriend’s concerts as Irene’s boyfriend.
But Liu Xin’an had checked online and found very few concert records for Bae Juhyun and her group.
There were just one or two, it seemed.
"Concert? I haven’t heard of any plans for one. I guess there are no arrangements for our downtime after this comeback. It depends on how well we do."
Bae Juhyun put her phone away, stopped chatting with the girls, glanced at Liu Xin’an, then turned to gaze out the window, answering softly.
"But we’ll still be invited to joint concerts, school events, and music festivals. You can watch us there."
Liu Xin’an didn’t insist further. He followed the navigation to park the car, got out first.
Then he walked over to the passenger side, opened the door for his girlfriend, smiling and making an inviting gesture.
Bae Juhyun lifted her head slightly in satisfaction and stepped out.
Then, Liu Xin’an glanced at Bae Juhyun’s sneakers with a puzzled expression.
These sneakers seemed to have magical properties, making the petite woman visibly taller.
Bae Juhyun glared at Liu Xin’an fiercely, then slipped her small hand into his, tilting her head to look at the bustling streets of Seoul.
Liu Xin’an obediently refrained from commenting further on Bae Juhyun’s magical sneakers. He’d never worn platform shoes, but he had seen them before.
Given their significant height difference, it wasn’t too noticeable at home, but out in public... to appear more harmonious, Bae Juhyun put in a bit of effort.
Strolling through the nightscape of Seoul with his partner was very romantic. Liu Xin’an didn’t drink coffee, so only Bae Juhyun, who was walking on the side away from the traffic, held a cup of coffee.
For safety, Liu Xin’an chose a place with relatively few pedestrians. The night scene here wasn’t as spectacular as some more bustling areas, but still pleased Bae Juhyun, who hadn’t gone out for a while.
Bae Juhyun looked around while sipping her coffee, confirming there was no one nearby before lifting her mask to take a sip, her beautiful eyes narrowing in satisfaction. Updates are released by novel-fire.ɴet
Even at night, it was still quite hot during this season.
"Many people say coffee runs in your veins. How come I can’t get used to it?"
Liu Xin’an took the iced Americano from Bae Juhyun, eyed it, then took a sip, displaying a twisted expression.
"Hmm, it just tastes like regular coffee. I don’t see why you can’t drink it. Picky eater?"
"Hehe, don’t force yourself."
Bae Juhyun laughed, wrapping her hand around Liu Xin’an’s arm, leaning against him affectionately.
