Seong Taekyon’s voice made the few members who were lazily resting instinctively speed up their bread-eating pace.
When Seong Taekyon walked in, the first thing he saw was a group of people with chipmunk cheeks.
"...I’m not here to rush you back to work, don’t be so eager."
"Cough cough cough..."
The group angrily glared at Seong Taekyon. If he wasn’t rushing them, he should have said so earlier! Made them rush to eat. Read full story at N()velFire.net
Bae Juhyun wasn’t as frantic; she could probably guess Seong Taekyon’s purpose.
Sure enough, after joking with the members, Seong Taekyon looked at Bae Juhyun and beckoned.
Bae Juhyun calmly tore off another small piece of bread, then closed her long skirt and got up to follow Seong Taekyon outside.
Ignoring the curious stares of the younger members behind her, she followed Seong Taekyon out.
"What’s up, Taekyon?"
"Just got a call from Manager Kim saying Liu Xin’an accepted the invitation to ’Knowing Bros.’ In a couple of days, you should prepare to attend the show."
This wave started by Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun is expected not to subside for a while.
Unlike Manager Kim, Seong Taekyon really understands Liu Xin’an’s laid-back personality.
Knowing Liu Xin’an well, he wouldn’t think this was Liu Xin’an’s initiative, in other words...
"I know you want to showcase your affection with Xin’an on variety shows, but whatever you do, keep it moderate, alright?"
Bae Juhyun showed a puzzled expression, as if she wasn’t very aware of the situation.
But Seong Taekyon wasn’t buying it.
"Enough, if you hadn’t brought it up, with Liu Xin’an’s personality, would he agree to be in the limelight?"
This time, Bae Juhyun didn’t pretend; she innocently nodded, but the slightly raised corners of her mouth betrayed her smugness.
Her boyfriend dotes on her! Is there a problem?
"Still pretending... I’ll give Heechul a call in a bit. You—Forget it, I’ll call him. Let Xin’an get a bit familiar with Heechul before then, so he can look after you two."
"Eh? I can call, no need to trouble you, Taekyon."
"Just focus on filming, alright, go back, and in the coming days, spare some time to organize some materials for the show, you’ve been on ’Knowing Bros.’ quite a few times, I don’t need to worry much."
"Oh, is that all you wanted to tell me?"
"Okay, I’m heading back." Feeling bored, Bae Juhyun uninterestedly turned and left, and Seong Taekyon scoffed at her expression.
Doesn’t Bae Juhyun know that she’s particularly bad at holding in laughter?
When pretending to be nonchalant, can’t she rein in her smile?
Sure enough, when she returned to the break room, her familiar members immediately noticed the barely hidden smile on Bae Juhyun’s face.
"I knew it had to do with Liu Xin’an."
"Not about filming, damn it.."
"Why did Taekyon want to talk to you, Juhyun?"
Judging by Bae Juhyun’s smile, it’s clear that Seong Taekyon talked mainly about Liu Xin’an, because besides a few of them, the only one who could bring out such an unabashed smile from Bae Juhyun is Liu Xin’an.
"Need to attend a show."
"Wow, Liu Xin’an agreed to it?"
Son Seungwan, who had more interactions with Liu Xin’an, was surprised and clicked her tongue. Like Seong Taekyon, she didn’t think this was something Liu Xin’an would initiate.
The next day, Liu Xin’an made time to visit S-M on Seong Taekyon’s recommendation.
Actually, there was something rather awkward.
Liu Xin’an knew Kim Heechul initially because... of Momo.
But the awkward part was here.
Because in July of this year, right in the middle of show shooting, these two... broke up.
Yes, in the traditional sense they broke up.
As an outsider, it’s hard to comment, but ultimately, when Liu Xin’an sees this handsome man again, it’s inevitable to feel awkward and a bit uneasy.
Fortunately, Kim Heechul is great at bridging gaps with people.
"Ah! Thanks so much for agreeing to join our show."
Upon meeting, Kim Heechul immediately appeared very approachable.
"No, no, I’m actually a loyal viewer of the show, so it’s quite an honor for me to participate."
"Yeah, especially since I need to catch up on her variety shows."
Liu Xin’an’s "her" was clear to Kim Heechul.
"Right, Irene’s been on our show quite a bit, so since you’ve watched it, you should be familiar with the process, right?"
"Roughly know a few things, like enrollment applications..."
"Knowing Bros" is mainly a talk-based variety show, where the guests have a special identity as transfer students.
And the main MCs play the role of classmates, asking the new "students" questions.
These questions are one of the show’s highlights.
After all, it’s a talk show, and "conversation" is naturally the key.
"Glad you know, Taekyon called me, and his advice was to take good care of you two... However, I must first know, to what degree are you sensitive about your relationship issues?"
