"You mean about my voice training?"

"Yeah, where did you learn that? You didn’t just find some random tutorial online, did you?"

"How could that be? I have a friend who’s a host."

"Really? Then why did your voice sound so weird yesterday?"

"Maybe it was because of the phone, you heard it wrong."

"How is that possible? The voice on the phone was your voice, wasn’t it?"

Liu Xin’an shook his head, then started explaining fluently under Bae Juhyun’s blank stare, "The voice you hear on the phone is recorded by electricity, then this voice current is transmitted, received by your phone’s receiver, and converted back into sound waves that reach your ears. This process naturally alters the sound."

(Not necessarily accurate, checked the info, hope for understanding)

"And the reason you can recognize it’s my voice is that your brain makes a cognitive correction. So..."

"Stop!"

Bae Juhyun covered her forehead. Even though her cold was almost better, why did she get a headache every time this idiot spoke?

Is he trying to show off his education?

She was just a high school graduate, sorry about that!

"Now do it again, and don’t tell me things I can’t understand."

"Uh... this is common... okay, ahem ahem."

Under Bae Juhyun’s watchful eyes, Liu Xin’an cleared his throat nervously, then, as taught in the video, took a deep breath and started speaking slowly.

He had just spoken a few words when Bae Juhyun raised her hand to stop him.

"Doesn’t this sound just like on the phone?"

"I think it’s good. Wait, let me pull up the video."

Liu Xin’an, not believing it, pulled up the video Mu Shang sent him.

Though the language was different, the change in the voice didn’t require understanding the language.

Skipping through the video, Liu Xin’an found the part he had been learning from and turned up the volume slightly.

"Listen."

A minute passed, and Bae Juhyun, squinting her beautiful eyes and holding Liu Xin’an’s phone, looked at him suspiciously.

"Xin’an, do you think there’s a possibility that you learned it wrong?"

"How is that possible?" Liu Xin’an was confident he couldn’t have gotten it wrong. He had plenty of self-confidence in this.

He followed along with the video, then looked at Bae Juhyun confidently.

"Doesn’t it sound the same?"

Bae Juhyun put down the phone, glanced at Liu Xin’an, then slowly stood up under his gaze.

"It sounds awful." After saying that, she bolted.

Not wanting to accommodate her, Liu Xin’an thought, She’s feeling better, right? If she’s better, then I don’t have to worry about catching it myself.

He quickly followed her and soon barged into the bedroom Bae Juhyun was defending.

But neither of them noticed that the phone belonging to Liu Xin’an, which Bae Juhyun had left on the sofa, suddenly started vibrating fiercely just as he entered her bedroom.

A few minutes passed, and the phone went silent.

Meanwhile, in S-M’s building, in Red Velvet’s practice room, a black-haired, beautiful woman put down her phone.

"...No answer."

Son Seungwan gave a stiff smile toward Kang Seulgi beside her.

Kang Seulgi was stunned, took the phone from Son Seungwan, pressed a few buttons, then took out her own phone.

She also tried dialing Liu Xin’an’s number, but...

"What’s going on? Has he already left?"

"Should we call Juhyun’s sister and ask?"

"You call."

"You call!"

Who dared to make that call? Whoever called would be the mole.

But... seeing that Taekyon would be here soon, if they waited for him to arrive, they wouldn’t have the chance to call.

After comparing the consequences of being caught by Bae Juhyun and being caught by Taekyon, Kang Seulgi took a deep breath and showed a determined expression.

"I’ll do it!"

Son Seungwan was so moved by this heroic tone that she would remember this day forever.

R.I.P.

Unfortunately, Bae Juhyun didn’t answer either.

"Juhyun’s sister didn’t pick up either."

"What should we do? What should we do?"

Son Seungwan urged urgently, and Kang Seulgi also had a headache.

If Liu Xin’an had already gone home, it would have been fine. But what if he hadn’t?

Darn it, Taekyon, Juhyun is already 30 years old. Why can’t you let her be? Why insist on coming to check on her yourself? Can’t you send someone else?

"Try calling again and see if we can delay a bit longer."

Kang Seulgi handed the phone to Son Seungwan, decisively heading outside the practice room.

Son Seungwan quickly nodded, dialing Liu Xin’an’s number with one phone and Bae Juhyun’s with the other.

Meanwhile, back in the living room where they were unaware, both phones left on the sofa were vibrating like crazy, creating quite a scene.

———

When they finally saw those six missed calls, half an hour had already passed.

He and Bae Juhyun hadn’t done anything, just moved the conversation from the living room to the bedroom. She was just recovering from a cold, and it was in the dorm, so he had no intent to take advantage of her.

However, halfway through the conversation, Bae Juhyun suddenly mentioned wanting to listen to the voice in the video again, which reminded Liu Xin’an that they had left the phone in the living room.

After hastily going out and unlocking the phone, he saw the string of missed calls.

Hmm... twenty full minutes had passed since the last missed call.

Liu Xin’an suddenly had a bad feeling.

He looked at Bae Juhyun, only to find her staring at her phone too.

"Did you get calls too?"

"A bunch... what’s happened?"

"Before I came, Seulgi told me they’d contact me before coming back to avoid getting blocked in the room by your manager..."

As he spoke, he jumped up.

"How long does it take for your company to get to the dorm?"

"...Without traffic, about ten minutes." Bae Juhyun answered, confused, then excitedly said, "So Seulgi told you? Great, she’s doomed!"

"Doomed, my foot! If I don’t leave now, I’m doomed!"

Liu Xin’an grumbled, annoyed. At this critical moment, Bae Juhyun was still worried about that kind of stuff.

Liu Xin’an put his phone in his pocket and quickly walked to the door. Bae Juhyun was still a bit confused but seemingly guessed something from Liu Xin’an’s urgency.

"Our manager is coming?"

"Probably, otherwise Seulgi and Seungwan wouldn’t have called me so many times. I’m off. Call me if anything happens!"

"Okay okay! Hurry downstairs."

"Will do."

Liu Xin’an put on his shoes and turned to look at Bae Juhyun.

Come to think of it, are we having an affair?

Bae Juhyun showed a helpless expression. At such a moment, he still wanted a kiss?

She didn’t resist, stood on her tiptoes, and pecked his lips.

With a satisfied smile, Liu Xin’an left Bae Juhyun’s dorm.

Luckily, the elevator was nearby, and soon, the doors opened. Liu Xin’an entered, pressed the ground floor button, and the elevator started descending slowly.

As it descended, on the ground floor, Kang Seulgi, Son Seungwan, and... Seong Taekyon were waiting for the elevator.

Luckily, when they arrived, they didn’t see the elevator coming down from the dorm floor.

Watching the descending elevator, Seong Taekyon crossed his arms, smiling.

"So even at the company, you must keep warm. If Irene doesn’t get better, you must persuade her to go to the hospital."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Alright, alright."

"...what’s with you two? Why do you seem perfunctory?"

"No, no."

"Yeah, yeah."

How could they not be perfunctory? Was Irene the priority now?

Well, her health was essential, but beyond that, there were more pressing issues!

"Ding~," the elevator reached the ground floor.

The doors slowly opened, and the man who appeared made Son Seungwan and Kang Seulgi widen their eyes.

Luckily, they stood behind Seong Taekyon, so he was distracted by the sound of the elevator doors opening and didn’t notice the strange expressions on their faces.

When Liu Xin’an saw the trio, he also widened his eyes.

This "seeing a ghost" expression made both girls’ hearts skip a few beats.

Fortunately, Seong Taekyon didn’t recognize Liu Xin’an.

Nor did he know that Liu Xin’an knew the two girls.

To him, Liu Xin’an’s surprise was simply because he assumed the guy was a Red Velvet fan...
