Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?
Chapter 54. Bae Juhyun made up her mind

Chapter 54: 54. Bae Juhyun made up her mind

When people have free time, they start to overthink things, and Liu Xin’an was no exception.

He didn’t have many worries, but at the moment, there was indeed something that was bothering him.

His gaze landed on the wall, and on the other side of that wall was his neighbor Bae Juhyun’s home.

The soundproofing in the room was excellent. Even if it was a lively party next door, he wouldn’t have noticed.

So he had no idea that Bae Juhyun was already home. He thought she was still busy outside.

After all, she was in the management level of the company, so she must be very busy.

He now knew what kind of work Bae Juhyun did!

Ever since his freshman year, Liu Xin’an hadn’t felt anything for the opposite sex.

Although there were always senior or junior girls confessing to him during his university years...

Liu Xin’an was rather straightforward. He preferred someone he liked over someone who liked him.

Why should one force themselves to be with someone they don’t like?

With that mindset, even after graduating from university, he remained a straightforward single man.

Living alone was actually quite comfortable, especially since he was a video content creator with such a free work schedule.

If he didn’t work as a streamer, he’d probably have even more free time, but even now, he had plenty of free time.

Maybe getting into a relationship wouldn’t be a bad idea, right?

This thought flitted across his mind.

Then, he felt his cheeks getting warm.

Liu Xin’an coughed, trying to calm himself down as he stood up awkwardly and stretched.

He knew himself very well and understood why he liked Bae Juhyun.

Besides her personality and traits being very appealing to him, there was also the undeniable fact that... she was incredibly beautiful.

No exaggeration, in his 28 years of life, Bae Juhyun was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

She had a face that was impossible to look away from.

He was a perfectly normal man, so being captivated by a beautiful woman was entirely natural.

A mature, beautiful, self-reliant woman who trusted him immensely.

It was quite unbelievable he’d only just now realized he had feelings for her.

Liu Xin’an sighed, got up from his workspace, grabbed a can of beer from the fridge, and walked back to his bedroom, heading to the balcony.

"Bae Juhyun?"

A deathly silence told him that Bae Juhyun was not on the balcony.

He sighed in relief. To be honest, after realizing his feelings, he didn’t really know how to face her.

When he dated his senior, he had pursued her first. At first, she didn’t want to be with him, but maybe she was moved by his persistence? So she accepted him.

Everyone knows how that turned out; the relationship ended quickly after that.

After that, Liu Xin’an understood very well that the premise of a confession was knowing that the other party had feelings for you too.

If a relationship started because the other person was moved by persistence rather than mutual feelings... it wouldn’t last long.

So the question was, did Bae Juhyun like him?

He was very confident that she trusted him.

But as for feelings...

Liu Xin’an took a bitter sip of beer and chuckled. If he really knew whether someone liked him, his last relationship wouldn’t have ended in failure.

"Sigh... let it be~"

Liu Xin’an crushed the beer can, mumbling to himself in resignation.

He didn’t plan on doing anything proactive.

After all, he and Bae Juhyun were from different countries.

If he were lucky enough to be with this beautiful woman, there would be countless challenges awaiting them.

So...

He chose to let things take their course.

———

Meanwhile, next door where he knew nothing, Bae Juhyun and her friends sat around the dining table, which was filled with a variety of delicious foods, from Western cuisine to Japanese dishes.

Eating good food was a very joyous affair.

At the moment, everyone was extremely satisfied with the meal Bae Juhyun had treated them to.

If you had to say, only Bae Juhyun, who spent a lot on the meal, was a bit speechless.

Kang Seulgi slurped her pasta, eating with such enjoyment that it increased everyone’s appetite.

After finally filling herself up to a comfortable level, Kang Seulgi put down her chopsticks and looked at Bae Juhyun with a mischievous smile.

Then, before Bae Juhyun could react, she suddenly spoke.

"Yesterday, I saw a fan letter that mentioned something really interesting. Do you want to hear it?"

"What is it?"

Son Seungwan’s eyes lit up. Her curiosity was piqued, and she didn’t want to miss out.

Bae Juhyun’s normally calm face flashed with a hint of surprise. She seemed to have guessed what this girl was about to say!

"A fan mentioned that they have feelings for someone, but that person is quite outstanding, so they are hesitant about confessing."

Listening to Kang Seulgi recount this oh-so-familiar story, Bae Juhyun almost choked on her breath.

That damn girl! Wasn’t she talking about her?

Guilty as charged, Kang Seulgi didn’t dare look at Bae Juhyun. She just eagerly awaited everyone’s reaction.

Gossiping is human nature, and even as celebrities, they couldn’t escape it.

"Of course, they should confess. What’s there to hesitate about?" Park Sooyoung said, holding a piece of sushi as she answered first.

But her suggestion was met with opposition from Son Seungwan: "They should observe more first. What if the person doesn’t like them back?"

"But confessing is the right thing to do. Being bold about your feelings is a very cool move. Even if the person doesn’t like our fan, they might be attracted by the courage,"

Kim Yerin frowned as she listened. She couldn’t resist and tapped the table, drawing everyone’s attention to herself.

"Why can’t that guy confess to our fan? It’s too weird for a girl to confess first!"

Kim Yerin nodded confidently after speaking, only to receive disdainful looks from her older sisters.

"It’s 2020 already. Taking the initiative when you like someone is the right thing to do. Waiting for confessions is too lame!"

"Right, you should make the first move if you like someone... but only if you know they feel the same way."

"Wouldn’t the one confessing be at a disadvantage? Wouldn’t it feel inferior if every argument ended with ’You confessed to me first’?"

Don’t think that just because the girls were in the same group and had been close for so long, their personalities were the same.

They each had their unique perspectives.

By now, Bae Juhyun had already heard three different answers...

She covered her head with her hands, feigning a headache.

But as the one who brought up the topic, Kang Seulgi wasn’t about to let Bae Juhyun off the hook.

She fixed her gaze on Bae Juhyun, then smiled smugly.

"What does Juhyun think?"

As soon as she said that, four pairs of eyes were unanimously on Bae Juhyun, who was sitting in the corner, hand against her forehead.

The unified gaze nearly made Bae Juhyun fall off her chair. She coughed, covered her mouth, and after a few seconds of silence, answered softly: "I won’t comment."

"Eh? Why not? Do you think it’s better to be proactive or not?"

True to the principle of stirring things up, Kang Seulgi continued to fan the flames... no, provide assistance.

She wasn’t trying to satisfy her own curiosity, just genuinely wanting to help her hesitant friend.

Yes, she was providing support!

Bae Juhyun, who was mentally beating up Kang Seulgi, sighed helplessly.

She knew her feelings very well.

If she had to choose between being proactive and not...

"I think it’s better to be proactive. If she missed the right person because of hesitation, she might regret it for a lifetime."

Her earnest response stunned the girls because they didn’t expect such a serious answer from Bae Juhyun.

Kang Seulgi was so excited she couldn’t hide it. She secretly grabbed Bae Juhyun’s hand, squeezing it, trying to convey that she’d always be there for her.

Bae Juhyun, annoyed, pinched the soft flesh on Kang Seulgi’s palm. Satisfied now? Didn’t you just push her onto the grill?

The pain made Kang Seulgi grimace, and she quickly withdrew her hand, looking at Bae Juhyun with a wronged expression.

Of course, her prodding did have some effect.

Being grilled like this solidified Bae Juhyun’s resolve.

Yesterday’s warning from Kang Seulgi had left her pondering all day, even while eating just now.

But she had come to terms with a lot now.

As she said, if she missed the right person because of her hesitation...

She would indeed regret it for the rest of her life.

With that thought, Bae Juhyun got up and stretched lazily.

"I’m tired. I’ll go lie down for a bit."

"Okay~"

"Bye, Juhyun."

"If you’re sleepy, just go to bed. Don’t worry about us, make yourself at home."

Son Seungwan said something so outrageous that the yawning Bae Juhyun couldn’t help but laugh.

What was she saying? This was clearly Bae Juhyun’s home!
