Chapter 47: 47. Free... freebie?

Bae Juhyun, waiting quietly at home, felt as if she was going mad.

She was indeed extremely curious about the chat between Liu Xin’an and Kang Seulgi from next door, but without Kang Seulgi’s instructions, she dared not recklessly go and knock on Liu Xin’an’s door.

As time ticked away second by second, Bae Juhyun grew increasingly anxious.

Finally, ten minutes after she had left Liu Xin’an’s house, the mobile phone she had been clutching in her hand suddenly started to vibrate violently.

Out of reflex, Bae Juhyun quickly lit up the screen and saw the "OK" emoticon sent by Kang Seulgi, relaxing her entire being.

She hurriedly got up, walked out of the house, made sure the door was locked, and then went up to Liu Xin’an’s front door.

Less than five seconds after pressing the doorbell, the tightly closed door opened, and Kang Seulgi appeared in front of Bae Juhyun, all smiles.

It was Kang Seulgi who had insisted on opening the door because she knew full well that Bae Juhyun had a bellyful of questions to ask her.

However, answering all of her curiosities wasn’t quite realistic. Kang Seulgi only said a simple sentence, which earned her a thoroughly confused expression from Bae Juhyun.

"Juhyun unnie, you’ve struck gold."

Bae Juhyun was truly perplexed, unable to fully understand her sister’s meaning. Still, it might, perhaps, probably... be considered a somewhat decent answer?

With that thought, Bae Juhyun quickly followed Kang Seulgi back into Liu Xin’an’s dining room.

There was less food on the table, showing that Kang Seulgi and Liu Xin’an hadn’t held back in her absence.

The soju bottles in front of them were all empty, which annoyed Bae Juhyun, the "drinking buddy" who had been left out.

"You didn’t let me drink, but you’ve drunk it all."

"Can it be the same, you collapse after just one bottle."

Liu Xin’an teased, laughing, which made Bae Juhyun so frustrated she almost wanted to throw the cola bottle in her hand at him.

Meanwhile, Kang Seulgi couldn’t stop laughing at Liu Xin’an’s sharp banter. She actually did know that Bae Juhyun could down three bottles of soju, having seen her eating and drinking on her own before.

But she didn’t know what had happened between Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin’an to give him such a conclusion.

She wouldn’t ask foolishly; if she did, she guessed Bae Juhyun would resort to some special method to cause her amnesia, as her older sister was quite concerned about face.

After eating and receiving the answers she wanted, Kang Seulgi signaled Bae Juhyun with her eyes that it was time to leave.

Bae Juhyun caught the hint. Although she wasn’t particularly eager to go just yet, she was very curious about what Kang Seulgi and Liu Xin’an had talked about when they were alone, so she cooperatively said, "We should go back now~ You’re probably going to live stream in a bit, right?"

"Mhm." Liu Xin’an looked up at the clock, and considering they had eaten all takeout, there was no need for dishwashing.

The uneaten dishes were wrapped with cling film and put into the fridge. Everything else was cleaned up, so Liu Xin’an indeed planned to rest a bit before preparing for his live stream.

The scheduled time was approaching, and being late would be troublesome.

"If there’s anything, just call me."

"Bye-bye~"

"Bye."

Kang Seulgi, pulling a somewhat reluctant Bae Juhyun, left. In fact, Kang Seulgi was puzzled about one thing—how come Liu Xin’an hadn’t noticed Bae Juhyun’s obvious affection for him?

But this question definitely wouldn’t have an answer now.

After getting back to Bae Juhyun’s house, before she could even go to the toilet to handle her physiological needs, she found herself pressed down on the shoulder by Bae Juhyun and seated on the sofa.

"...Could you let me use the toilet first?"

Bae Juhyun’s small face turned red, and she quickly let go of her sister’s hand.

Relieved, Kang Seulgi hurriedly sprinted into the bathroom. After a while, she emerged feeling refreshed, casually crossing her legs and sitting down nonchalantly on the sofa.

"What did you mean by saying I found a treasure?"

"Simply put, Liu Xin’an is too good a person. I’m a bit jealous of your luck, Juhyun unnie," mumbled Kang Seulgi.

Bae Juhyun first blinked in surprise, then pursed her lips, trying not to let a smile break through.

"Alright, alright, no need to pretend, it’s just us two."

Good, Kang Seulgi’s words brought a smile to Bae Juhyun’s face.

This time she made no attempt to hide it, revealing a grin a bit goofier than any she had shown before, a look that made Kang Seulgi almost want to grab her phone and record the moment.

But reason told her not to do so.

"So, Seulgi, can you confirm that he also has feelings for me?" Bae Juhyun asked eagerly.

Unfortunately, this was the only question today that Kang Seulgi didn’t have an answer for.

"I’m sorry about this, but I couldn’t figure that out. However, there are two things I’m sure of," said Kang Seulgi, raising two fingers and then bending one, "First, Liu Xin’an definitely isn’t the central-air-conditioning type of jerk. I’m certain of this. His kindness and attentiveness to girls come from having good upbringing."

This made Bae Juhyun’s smile broaden: "I knew he wasn’t that kind of weirdo!"

Kang Seulgi rolled her eyes, too lazy to comment on Bae Juhyun, now lost in love.

Then, she bent her second finger.

"Second, he not only doesn’t dislike celebrities, when I asked him if he would refuse the chance to be with one, guess how he answered?"

"How did he answer?"

"He said only a fool would refuse."

Bae Juhyun was startled, then excitedly waved her little fists.

Her gleeful appearance also made Kang Seulgi, who had been busy because of her all afternoon, laugh.

No matter what, her sister, who had been downcast recently, was finally in a good mood... It was something Seulgi felt incredibly grateful for.

However...

"Juhyun, don’t get too excited too early, you still can’t be certain whether Liu Xin’an really has feelings for you. And honestly... with a man as outstanding as him, you should really take the initiative, otherwise, you’ll cry when someone else snatches him away."

Seulgi’s languid words stopped the jubilant Bae Juhyun in her tracks.

Her fists, formerly raised in celebration, slowly fell, and a touch of bitterness appeared on her pretty face that had just been filled with smiles.

"Then... what should I do?"

Asking someone with zero experience in love to pursue a man was indeed a challenge for her.

"Umm... I don’t know either."

Seulgi, equally clueless, shook her head to express her helplessness, feeling the same way.

In theory, she was the supreme expert.

But now, if she were to personally guide Juhyun...

She didn’t want to interfere, analyzing was enough; inadvertently meddling and messing things up would be troublesome.

But with Juhyun’s beauty, did she really need to make an effort to make the other party feel attracted to her?

Shouldn’t a smile be enough to solve the issue?

"Why not, Juhyun, you might as well go confess now? Maybe he does have feelings for you, and I just didn’t notice."

If it were something else, Juhyun might have been willing to try.

But without solid assurance to seal the deal on this relationship, she still didn’t want to make such a move.

"Don’t!"

"Don’t be such a coward, even if the confession fails, you can continue to pursue him. Maybe he’ll admire your courage, and gradually realize he’s fallen for you."

Seulgi’s murmur seemed like the whisper of a devil from the abyss.

She shook her head vigorously.

If she were rejected, forget continuing the pursuit, she wasn’t even sure she could face Liu Xin’an again.

"Don’t!"

"Then I can’t help you... Let me check."

Seulgi said she was incapable of assisting, but fortunately, the omnipotent internet was available.

With the help of the internet, Seulgi and Juhyun soon found an answer that neither of them expected.

"...What does ’free of charge’ mean?"

"I remember, it seems like a novel I read before mentioned this term."

The omnipotent internet continued to work tirelessly.

Before long, both Bae Juhyun and Kang Seulgi understood the meaning of "free of charge."

However, unlike Seulgi’s excited gaze reveling in the spectacle, Juhyun, who was the practical experimenter of all these plans, felt completely overtaken by shyness.

This girl, who was not very brave to begin with, huddled uncomfortably on the couch.

"Do I really have to do this?"

"Hmm... just give it a try, it won’t hurt. Just act ’free of charge’ in front of Liu Xin’an a few times like the internet says?"

"But won’t he think I’m a very strange person?"

"I don’t think so, doesn’t the internet say it’s quite easy to make someone feel attracted to you this way?"

"But you can’t believe everything you read online..."

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

Both love novices were entangled in their dilemmas.

Eventually, Bae Juhyun bit her lower lip, a hint of determination flashed across her blushing face.

Having come this far, and knowing well that Liu Xin’an was an outstanding man, she truly didn’t want to give up here.

"Okay! I’ll try it!"

"I support you, Juhyun!"

Kang Seulgi was purely there for the excitement, not worrying about making things worse.
