"I’m off then."

Liu Xin’an bent over, making an awkward expression, and grinned at Bae Juhyun, who was in the driver’s seat.

Bae Juhyun, on the other hand, was amused by Liu Xin’an’s strange expression. She leaned over her car’s steering wheel, her thick black hair messy on her face, covering her beautiful features.

"Drive safely, and let me know when you get on the plane, okay?"

"Hmm... Next time I come over, I should really get a driver’s license. Your car is really cramped."

"Hey! Don’t you diss my car!"

Although they had been sweetly entwined together the previous night for quite a while, when it actually came to the moment of parting, neither Bae Juhyun nor Liu Xin’an showed any strong reluctance to part.

They both understood that if either of them showed a reluctant face, they were sure the other would do something impulsive.

Whether that be staying here and delaying the return, or impulsively buying a ticket to follow along, neither scenario was good for them.

In the face of major decisions, adults possess a maturity that corresponds with their age.

Watching Liu Xin’an’s tall silhouette, Bae Juhyun, who was looking out the window, was spaced out for quite a while until she was sure she could no longer see him. She sighed softly, raised her hand to gently wipe the corner of her eye, and stepped on the gas pedal to start the car.

Next...

Go back to the dorm and harass the members!

———

The plane taking off from Incheon International Airport went through over two tumultuous hours before finally landing successfully at Seaside International Airport.

The first thing he did upon landing was to call Bae Juhyun.

Bae Juhyun, who had been waiting for news, answered instantly. Though she had been on countless flights, as soon as Liu Xin’an boarded the plane, she couldn’t help but worry about the man in the sky.

"Have you landed?"

The careful voice of Bae Juhyun on the other end made Liu Xin’an want to laugh.

"Yeah, have you gotten back to the dorm?"

"I’m already here. It’s been a while since I’ve been back, and suddenly staying here feels kind of novel."

At that moment, Bae Juhyun was lounging on the sofa in a very odd position, lazily lying down.

She was talking to Liu Xin’an on the phone with a smile, but the silence in the room seemed to be silently declaring that she was lying.

If going to the company for practice and classes every day was motivated by the time she spent with Liu Xin’an at night.

Then now that "power bank" had disappeared.

There was no longer an existence she could look forward to that would help her get through each mundane day.

For a moment, Bae Juhyun felt as if she had returned to the time before she met Liu Xin’an,

"So you’re just sitting on the couch waiting for my call without even turning on the TV?"

The frivolous tone of the man on the other end made Bae Juhyun’s eyes widen, and she quickly stood up from the sofa, surprise spreading in her beautiful eyes.

Could it be that Liu Xin’an didn’t leave but was secretly watching her from inside the dorm? — That’s impossible.

"Did you install cameras in our dorm?"

Bae Juhyun, whose lie had been exposed, was not annoyed. She just lifted the corners of her mouth and twirled a strand of hair with one hand, replying to the man on the phone with the same frivolous tone.

"Yeah, go ahead and look for them."

"Hmph, stop messing around and go home. We can talk after you get home."

Bae Juhyun tried to keep her voice from revealing any reluctance, deliberately adopting a dismissive tone.

"No worries, I’m on my way... Ah, hold on, my dad’s calling. Let me take this."

"Hmm..."

The call disconnected.

Bae Juhyun heaved a sigh, annoyed, and tossed her phone to the side, forcefully smacking it.

It was as if she could smack Liu Xin’an through the phone on the other side.

Of course, reality wouldn’t be so magical that Bae Juhyun would suddenly master "Mountain-beating."

Liu Xin’an, pushing his luggage, walked to the airport exit and answered his dad’s call.

"Dad, what’s up?"

"Are you out yet?" Liu Zhengjiang’s steady voice came through the Bluetooth earpiece to Liu Xin’an’s ears.

He could pretty much guess the real reason his father was calling.

"Dad, you’re picking me up?"

"Yeah, come out and turn right, I’m waiting for you there."

Liu Xin’an chuckled to himself, as his father obviously sensed a crisis.

Him having a girlfriend was something his mom already knew about, there was no reason for his dad to be unaware.

Yet, his dad had not called him recently, and he thought his dad might have some other way of coping.

Turns out, even his dad was uneasy about it.

Liu Xin’an didn’t continue to call Bae Juhyun, but, after briefly explaining the situation and receiving a beautiful selfie from her along with an "ok" hand gesture emoji, he then felt reassured to walk out of the airport exit.

Following his dad’s instructions, Liu Xin’an turned right and within a few steps, he saw his dad’s familiar Mercedes.

He quickened his steps, and as he drew near the car, the trunk slowly opened.

After putting his luggage in the trunk and closing it, he then opened the door of the passenger seat.

As he’d expected, his father himself had come to pick him up.

And with his mother not in the passenger seat, that meant...

"Don’t even think about touching my secret stash of money, I’ve already moved it all."

Liu Xin’an had just buckled his seat belt when his father’s calm voice rose beside him.
