"Then just owe it for now!"
"Okay." Liu Xin’an smiled indulgently, agreeing to it.
After all, making his girlfriend happy meant he never planned to win.
However, Bae Juhyun noticed his thoughts, and with a serious expression, said, "Don’t think about going easy, or I’ll make some very excessive demands. And you better try answering, or else!"
At this point, Liu Xin’an was at a loss for words.
He showed a totally speechless expression; it seemed he couldn’t win whether he answered correctly or not.
After making a pact with Bae Juhyun, who was blinded by her desire to win, Liu Xin’an regretted it by that evening.
It was mainly because he underestimated how much his girlfriend wanted to win. That night, Bae Juhyun didn’t even come to his place; instead, she holed up at home with Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan from her team, spending the whole night researching what questions to ask.
She wasn’t worried about the show’s effects; as long as they appeared on the show, it was guaranteed they’d steal the show.
So more than the show being interesting, Bae Juhyun wanted to win.
At this point, she suddenly felt thankful about all the lies she told Liu Xin’an when they started dating, before she revealed her identity.
Any one of those lies could likely be something Liu Xin’an would never guess.
Even though the method was a bit underhanded, for the sake of victory, and to secure a better position in the bathroom queue next time, Bae Juhyun gritted her teeth and decided, with encouragement from Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan.
A night without Bae Juhyun to cuddle was a bit hard to bear, especially knowing she was nearby.
At six in the morning, Liu Xin’an got up as usual.
The filming started at noon, and they needed to head to the beauty salon around nine in the morning.
Yes, Liu Xin’an also had to prepare his appearance this time, but his style wasn’t quite suited for the "idol" look, so it shouldn’t be too complex.
But Bae Juhyun needed a proper makeup session, as she was a true idol, and the makeup fitting her persona was important.
Getting up early, Liu Xin’an ran on the treadmill for about an hour, then washed up while preparing breakfast for himself and Bae Juhyun.
By eight in the morning, Liu Xin’an knocked on Bae Juhyun’s door.
Kang Seulgi, who had gotten up early in her pajamas, answered the door but didn’t let Liu Xin’an in; instead, she opened the door slightly.
Jokingly, the girls inside were still resting. How could she possibly let Liu Xin’an in?
Liu Xin’an understood this and had no intention of going inside.
"Hmm, not yet. Should I call her?"
"Go ahead, have you had breakfast?"
"Gulp." Kang Seulgi swallowed instinctively, a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes, "No, I haven’t."
Why did she get up early?
The purpose was to get a free breakfast!
Even though Park Sooyoung and Kim Yerin had gotten quite familiar with Liu Xin’an lately, in terms of understanding him, those two were still far behind!
Originally, it was her probing Liu Xin’an. She knew well about Liu Xin’an’s good upbringing.
So she concluded that Liu Xin’an wouldn’t prepare breakfast just for himself and Bae Juhyun!
"Then come over and have some breakfast too, and bring some for Yerin and the others."
Kang Seulgi nodded excitedly and happily went off to complete the task Liu Xin’an assigned her.
Half an hour later, Liu Xin’an, who had returned home, heard the door open.
With her face washed and teeth brushed, Bae Juhyun appeared in front of him with a beautiful bare face, alongside Kang Seulgi, who was also fresh-faced.
Liu Xin’an had seen Bae Juhyun’s bare face many times, but Kang Seulgi’s was a rare sight.
This girl, often jokingly called "Bear Seulgi" by fans due to her single eyelids, squinted her already small eyes into slits without makeup, smiling even more innocently than usual.
Hmm... so that’s why she’s called Bear Seulgi?
"Finish breakfast and get dressed; we need to get ready to leave."
Today, Bae Jinhee would drive over from Daegu, so today he could only hop on Bae Juhyun’s van.
The breakfast was sandwiches; something easy to make and store.
Of course, if this were in China, Liu Xin’an would have fried some bread slices and scrambled a couple of eggs... much easier and fills you up more than sandwiches.
"How long does this kind of show usually take to film?"
"Knowing Brothers"... it goes until the evening, if we start at one o’clock, right?"
"They said start at one in the afternoon."
"Ah~ Then it might end around seven or eight in the evening, smoothly."
"Uh... What if it doesn’t go smoothly?"
"Why wouldn’t it? No problems will occur." Bae Juhyun spoke leisurely.
Liu Xin’an shrugged; he knew, but he habitually planned for the worst.
After all... he planned to stream when he got back in the evening.
He hadn’t reached his quota this month yet! But honestly... even if he worked overtime, it’d be hard to catch up on time, considering he went on vacation with Bae Juhyun’s family this month...
"Nervous? Come to think of it, I haven’t seen you nervous, Liu Xin’an. I asked Seungwan, and she said you never seem nervous." For original chapters go to novel·fıre·net
Speaking of this, Kang Seulgi found it unbelievable; they’d trained for years, but the first time on stage always made their legs shake with nerves.
Why wasn’t Liu Xin’an nervous at all?
Such a strong heart must have its limits?
Liu Xin’an didn’t know how to answer; instinctively, he looked at Bae Juhyun, who was stuffing a sandwich into her mouth.
Bae Juhyun was taken aback by his sudden gaze, maintaining her awkward sandwich-biting pose before she embarrassedly laughed.
Perhaps she thought she looked a bit... weird?
The fundamental reason he wasn’t nervous anymore was this woman, whose eating posture wasn’t particularly elegant.
"Hey, don’t look at me."
Bae Juhyun didn’t know any of this, quickly swallowing her sandwich, half threatening.
Liu Xin’an nodded in cooperation and looked at Kang Seulgi, showing an intriguing smile.
"... Juhyun, your boyfriend’s so arrogant."
"He can be like that sometimes, sorry."
