Schedules simply weren’t something Bae Juhyun could control; of course, Liu Xin’an also knew that it definitely wasn’t Bae Juhyun intentionally delaying, so he wasn’t the least bit angry.
"Just be busy with your schedule, it’s okay if you don’t eat."
"No way, you have to eat! We also want to take this chance to have a big meal!"
Well... this was a response quite fitting of the Red Velvet members.
Having watched plenty of their group variety shows, Liu Xin’an knew these women were genuine foodies.
Even his girlfriend, Bae Juhyun, with her slender figure, was a food lover.
"All right, there’s no rush. Just contact me after you’re done, I’m always free."
"Love you! Then I’ll get back to work!"
A few minutes after this message, Bae Juhyun sent another selfie.
In the selfie, Bae Juhyun wore beautiful makeup and flashed a stunning smile at the camera.
Liu Xin’an skillfully saved the photo, as someone who usually didn’t like to take pictures now had a phone filled with Bae Juhyun’s selfies.
Some were shared by Bae Juhyun when she was busy, and others were taken with Liu Xin’an, forcibly drawing him in, or by herself.
In Bae Juhyun’s words...
"As a boyfriend, how could you not have pictures of your girlfriend in your phone?"
Using this logic, his phone had successfully become Bae Juhyun’s backup photo gallery.
Since there was no hurry, Liu Xin’an decided to head back to his room and lazily lie in bed browsing on his tablet.
Perhaps because he had been genuinely busy today, getting up early in the morning to rush to the airport, and then immediately starting a live broadcast upon returning in the afternoon, Liu Xin’an soon began to feel sleepy after a while of browsing.
Unbeknownst to him, time silently slipped away.
"What’s the matter? Isn’t Liu Xin’an answering his phone?"
Kang Seulgi brushed off Son Seungwan’s hand reaching from the back seat, looking puzzled at Bae Juhyun beside her with furrowed brows.
"Maybe he’s busy with something?"
Bae Juhyun put away her phone, shaking her head, "Impossible, if he were doing something, he would have told me in advance. Probably he’s asleep. I’ll go up and call him."
By that time, they had finished their schedules and arrived at the underground garage of Liu Xin’an’s... or rather, Bae Juhyun’s house.
"Oh~ So Liu Xin’an is such a good boy, reporting everything he does to Sister Juhyun?"
"Isn’t that just basic, making a big fuss about nothing." Bae Juhyun glanced at Kang Seulgi, feigning nonchalance but was actually extremely proud as she retorted.
This made the younger sisters in the car terribly jealous.
Ignoring the clamor of the younger sisters’ teasing, Bae Juhyun quickly jumped out of the car and strode into the elevator.
Soon, she pushed open the door to Liu Xin’an’s house; the dark living room and the quiet atmosphere made her even more convinced of her guess.
She headed straight for the bedroom and, upon twisting the door handle, indeed found Liu Xin’an lying on the bed, sound asleep.
The truth was, Bae Juhyun rarely had the chance to see Liu Xin’an’s sleeping face; the reason was simple, she was always an early sleeper and a late riser. Especially after being intimate, her scant stamina could never match Liu Xin’an’s, so she would usually let Liu Xin’an help her with her nighttime routine in a drowsy state before she would cling to him and fall into a deep sleep.
When she woke up, Liu Xin’an would already be up before her. Several times she had set alarms just to catch a glimpse of Liu Xin’an’s sleeping face, but they always ended in failure.
This rare occasion of seeing her boyfriend’s sleeping face, although her hunger reminded Bae Juhyun that she couldn’t delay any longer, she subconsciously slowed down her pace, cautiously walking up to Liu Xin’an’s side and gently stroking his cheek.
Because of his constant exercise, Liu Xin’an always had a good metabolism.
His good metabolism and regulated life rhythm granted him perfect skin condition. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novèlfire.net
The blemish-free and smooth skin was something Bae Juhyun couldn’t get enough of; she kneaded it for a while until Liu Xin’an’s deep voice interrupted her reverie.
"Ah! You scared me to death!"
While startled, Bae Juhyun did not forget to "intimately" slap the other party.
This left Liu Xin’an utterly speechless; there he was, sleeping peacefully, only to be roused and then slapped upon speaking.
"Talk sense, you’re the one who woke me up."
"Okay, okay, get up; we’re already downstairs."
Liu Xin’an nodded, scratched his face, yawned, and then subconsciously reached to tousle his hair.
"Wait for me to shower; I just woke up and feel twisted all over."
Even though the sleep was short, it still left Liu Xin’an feeling uncomfortable.
To that, Bae Juhyun didn’t object. She nodded and then pointed outside.
"I’ll go downstairs first and wait for you, hurry down, okay?"
"Hm? Why don’t you wait for me here, and then we’ll go down together?"
"Are you crazy? If I’m late going down, who knows what these girls might think!"
Bae Juhyun rolled her eyes at her boyfriend, not too pleased. Her younger sisters were no easy crowd, and if she really waited for Liu Xin’an to finish his shower before heading downstairs with him, there would be no end to their wild speculations.
She did not want to become the object of teasing in their chats during the last days of their comeback.
"Alright, you all are such gossips."
"Go, go, hurry up and shower. I’ll wait for you in the car."
Liu Xin’an nodded, got up quickly, and caught up to Bae Juhyun who had just left the bedroom.
He then wrapped his arms around her slim waist from behind, pulling her gently into his embrace.
Bae Juhyun, puzzled, looked at Liu Xin’an and as he shamelessly nodded towards his own cheek, she let out a snort and reached out to rub his face.
"No kissing, go take your shower."
"Fine, then I’ll kiss you."
