If you don’t have some stress resistance, it’s impossible to hold this position for seven years.
"But actually, there are still shows inviting you."
"JTBC’s Knowing Bros; it seems Heechul suggested it."
Seong Taekyon recalled the previous materials he had seen and casually mentioned it.
Everyone was stunned at first, then their expressions became conflicted. Content originally comes from noᴠelfire.net
The variety show Knowing Bros indeed had quite a deep connection with their group Red Velvet, but the show... was a bit too crazy.
Of course, whether or not to participate wasn’t really up to them, so Bae Juhyun looked at Seong Taekyon and asked, "So do you want us to attend?"
"Hard to say, we’re still negotiating. Currently, the buzz generated by your and Xin’an’s pairing is quite enough. Ultimately, it depends on what the higher-ups decide." Seong Taekyon shook his head.
After finishing this news, Seong Taekyon pointed to the door: "I’ll go check when the official rehearsals and pre-recordings start. Xin’an, you guys chat first."
After Liu Xin’an and the members all nodded honestly, Seong Taekyon left the resting room.
The manager’s authority was still significant; after Seong Taekyon left, Bae Juhyun and the others visibly relaxed.
This noticeable change did not escape Liu Xin’an’s observation.
"Is Taekyon hyung that scary?"
"You haven’t seen Taekyon oppa scolding people with a stiff neck, it’s really scary!"
Naturally, Liu Xin’an didn’t believe Son Seungwan’s statement.
However, when he looked at Bae Juhyun and saw her nodding, he was surprised and clicked his tongue, then walked over to his girlfriend.
Before he could speak, Son Seungwan and Kim Yerin, who were watching the fun, started teasingly chanting, "Oh~".
But the next second, Bae Juhyun’s cold stare successfully shut them up.
Son Seungwan and Kim Yerin exchanged glances and tacitly started babbling, pretending they hadn’t said anything, and that it wasn’t them who had teased.
With this commotion, everyone stopped paying attention to Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin’an.
These two had it rough; their busy schedules recently left them with very few opportunities to meet. Now, they could finally spend some time together under the guise of filming, and the sensible members stopped gossiping.
"Captain Bae is quite authoritative in the group."
"Sometimes when you’re too nice to them, they’ll take advantage. That’s not good; after all, you’re older."
Maybe because Liu Xin’an always seemed too easygoing, and since he wasn’t sensitive about age, Son Seungwan and Kang Seulgi treated him as a peer.
Was that a good thing? For Bae Juhyun, she was very satisfied with how her boyfriend got along with her members.
But now was their comeback period, and the netizens wouldn’t think that way.
Even if Liu Xin’an himself didn’t mind, and Seulgi and the others didn’t mind, the netizens did!
"Being natural is good, isn’t it?"
Bae Juhyun helplessly raised her lips, lazily stretched, and then pulled Liu Xin’an to her side, leaning on him and humming nonstop.
Liu Xin’an didn’t dare to pinch Bae Juhyun’s cheeks, afraid that his clumsiness would ruin her makeup, so he just asked softly.
"Not too bad, mainly it’s just been a long time since I’ve had such a busy schedule. My body isn’t used to it. Actually, the workload is much less now than before."
"So, do you prefer having more work or less, Juhyun?" Liu Xin’an couldn’t help but recall what Chief Kim had told him earlier and asked softly.
"Just is fine, balancing work and still having time to meet with you."
"Once your comeback is over, I won’t continue collaborating with your company. Then you won’t have a chance to see me at work."
Liu Xin’an joked, while Bae Juhyun, leaning in his arms, looked up slightly, frowning a little.
"You should stop collaborating with our company already. Even if Chief Kim invites you next time, you shouldn’t agree. You didn’t even discuss it with me this time before agreeing!"
Thinking about it made Bae Juhyun mad. She hadn’t revealed her relationship with Liu Xin’an early on out of fear that the company would use his presence to coerce her or force her to renew her contract at a low rate. She also didn’t want their relationship to be tainted by business interests.
But now... Although she wasn’t really in a position to say this, as she was the one benefitting.
But... precisely because she knew she didn’t have much to give back to Liu Xin’an, she really didn’t want to profit from him any further.
If things went as expected, their relationship would surely be public by the next comeback.
If their relationship could garner the fans’ love, then given her understanding of SM, the company wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity for publicity.
Previously, they could only subtly hint at it; now, they could be blatant about it.
It’s not entirely impossible for Liu Xin’an and the group to be officially linked.
That’s not what Bae Juhyun wanted.
"Alright, I’ll discuss everything with you first from now on."
Hearing Liu Xin’an’s soft reply, Bae Juhyun was satisfied.
She grabbed the hem of Liu Xin’an’s shirt, smoothing out the wrinkles, and a thought flashed through her mind.
This beautiful woman showed a slightly embarrassed look, lowered her head slightly, and mumbled in a voice only Liu Xin’an could hear.
"But not everything. Surprises... are better if I don’t know beforehand."
Liu Xin’an chuckled; his girlfriend wanted a surprise?
