Bae Juhyun’s "crappy" team leader behavior was definitely unknown to Liu Xin’an.

After lunch, having filled his stomach, he took a car back to his home.

It’s undeniable, once you try driving, it becomes addictive.

That sense of freedom to go wherever you want, you just can’t get that in a taxi.

Soon, the taxi dropped him off at the entrance of his residential complex.

Paying the fare, a blast of cold air made Liu Xin’an shiver.

March in Seoul is still very cold, especially stepping out from the warm taxi.

He put on his earphones, found his mom’s number on his phone, dialed, and patiently waited.

Before long, his mother’s voice rang in his ears.

"What’s up?"

"Just checking if you’re having fun."

Park Jinsuk was, of course, very happy; to say she felt no homesickness after so many years away would be a lie.

She missed Park Jinyoung, the small town of her childhood, all of the past... Eh, except for her parents who had always treated her and her brother differently from the moment she was born.

Fortunately, she didn’t go astray. The fact that her values hadn’t drastically changed in that environment was something Park Jinsuk was still thankful for.

She never resented her doted-on younger brother, because she knew it wasn’t his fault.

She and Park Jinyoung had visited the cemetery just the evening before, offering a bouquet of flowers and lighting incense sticks. After that, Park Jinsuk had completely let go of the conflict with her parents from over three decades ago.

So, now she was left with only feelings of happiness and excitement.

Happiness at being back in her hometown.

Excitement that her little brother actually knew so many celebrities.

Vanity, oh vanity!

If Liu Xin’an knew his mother’s mood at the moment, he would definitely have marveled and chided his mother with this phrase.

"Of course I’m happy. Jinyoung is taking me to the set for a visit later."

"As long as you’re having fun, just remember to call me if you need anything."

"Call you? What can you do?"

Liu Xin’an fell silent at his mother’s blunt response. He was just being polite, like how you casually offer guests something to eat when they visit.

Could it be that his mom was so excited she couldn’t distinguish this kind of courtesy at the moment?

Uncle is really scary.

"I’ll help as much as I can."

After thinking for a while, that was all he could come up with to say to his mom, and then he heard her burst into laughter on the other end.

Following that, his uncle’s voice also joined in.

"Xin’an, can you come over to our place the day after tomorrow evening?"

"Um, the day after tomorrow?"

The date made Liu Xin’an pause.

Because he had an agreement with Bae Juhyun to meet every third day, and the day after tomorrow happened to be the day of their meeting.

The invitation from his uncle versus the meeting with Bae Juhyun... Liu Xin’an thought for a moment and didn’t give a definite answer right away.

"Let me check with my manager to see if I have any business appointments in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. If there’s no problem, I’ll definitely come over."

Asking the manager was clearly a lie; his plan was to talk to Bae Juhyun first.

Since Bae Juhyun was the first one he made a promise with, he tended to be quite principled and respected the order of commitments.

Even if it was the uncle and girlfriend swapping places, he would still prioritize the one he made plans with first, rather than blindly siding with family or girlfriend.

"Okay, if you’re not busy, remember to come over, I’ll introduce you to your aunt and your cousin sister."

"Alright, I need to hang up now. I’m going into the elevator."

"Mhm."

After ending the call... no, to be correct, after finishing talking with his mom, Liu Xin’an got into the elevator and pressed the button for the seventeenth floor.

Once he was finally back home, the first thing Liu Xin’an did was sit on the sofa and open up the chat with his girlfriend.

"Are you free to talk on the phone?"

He sent this message, but didn’t get a reply immediately.

Glancing at the clock, lunchtime was upon them, and there was about half an hour until the scheduled 1 PM live broadcast.

Liu Xin’an wasn’t in a rush, having already been caught by Bae Juhyun once...

No, that’s wrong!

It was a betrayal by his viewers last time.

He no longer felt the urgency to start playing games straight away.

Crime doesn’t pay against the wind, even if he was confident Bae Juhyun wouldn’t catch him.

He aimlessly scrolled through the site, as a loyal user, often watching others’ videos.

Of course, he always left a like, comment, and share. As a content creator, he knew very well how important these interactions were to the creators, so he gave them whenever possible.

After all, he had more coins than he knew what to do with.

Just as he had casually found a dance cover video by his girlfriend’s group and was merrily critiquing how the female UP’s dance skills didn’t compare to his girlfriend’s, his violently vibrating phone nearly scared him out of his wits.

He looked around apprehensively, half expecting Bae Juhyun to somehow appear behind him, arms crossed and face cold.

Only after confirming the house was indeed empty did he pick up the phone.

Perhaps feeling a bit guilty, his voice was slightly shaky.

"Hello~"

"...Why does your voice sound so odd? Were you doing something naughty behind my back?"

"Not at all!" Liu Xin’an’s voice rose in pitch, though it might have had the air of protesting too much, at least he sounded assertive.

On the other end of the phone, Bae Juhyun hadn’t expected this sudden outburst, which she found unexpectedly cute and amusing. Unconsciously, a hint of laughter crept into her voice.

"Alright, why did you want to call me? Did you want to hear your Noona’s voice?"
