Chapter 624: 333. It’s Really Dark Under the Lamp! _3

Liu Xin’an actually knew this person, well... but the way he knew him was rather peculiar.

He didn’t know him because of his group or fame, but because... he was Momo’s boyfriend.

Yes, that Momo from Twice, the Japanese artist who was on the same variety show team as him.

With this relationship in mind, the reason for Kim Heechul’s presence here was clear.

"Excuse me for a moment, do you mind? I’m looking for someone."

Kim Heechul first talked to Bae Juhyun with a playful grin, stating his purpose. Naturally, Bae Juhyun couldn’t refuse him over such a small matter. She nodded and pointed in Liu Xin’an’s direction.

"Heechul oppa, are you here to see Liu Xin’an?"

"Yes."

Kim Heechul nodded, not denying it. He was indeed here to see Liu Xin’an. The reason? It was simple—Liu Xin’an had been taking good care of Momo on this show, and as Momo’s boyfriend, he had come mainly to express his gratitude.

"Give me a few minutes."

After getting Bae Juhyun’s approval, Kim Heechul quickly approached Liu Xin’an, then politely greeted the man whose looks even he had to praise.

"You must be Mr. Liu Xin’an. You look even more handsome in person than in videos."

"Not at all, you’re too kind, Mr. Kim Heechul."

"You know me?" Kim Heechul was visibly flattered. He knew from watching the whole show that Liu Xin’an was quite naive about the entertainment industry, so he was surprised Liu Xin’an could call out his name.

"Yes, Momo mentioned you. You’re here because of her, right?"

"Yes, I really appreciate you taking care of Momo on the show. If possible, I would like to treat you to a meal to show my gratitude."

"No, Liu Xin’an already has plans for today."

Just then, Son Seungwan suddenly jumped in, interrupting the conversation between Liu Xin’an and Kim Heechul.

"Uh... what about another time?"

"You don’t have to. To be honest, Der 正 said 一哥 also asked me to take special care of Momo. Besides, Momo is a part of our team and a foreigner, so I definitely had to look out for her."

Liu Xin’an smiled as he politely declined Kim Heechul’s invitation to dinner.

Seeing that Kim Heechul seemed to have more to say, Bae Juhyun tactfully intervened.

"Heechul oppa, how did you know Liu Xin’an was here? Did you run into Taekyon oppa?"

Bae Juhyun’s voice made Kim Heechul raise his eyebrows in surprise. He understood Son Seungwan’s interruption, but this usually quiet and reserved girl was actually stepping in to help someone?

It seemed their relationship was not as distant as it appeared in promotional videos.

For Bae Juhyun to do this, they must at least be friends.

"I ran into Yoon’ah downstairs. She told me Mr. Liu Xin’an was visiting the company today."

"Yoon’ah unnie?"

Im Yoon’ah was a year older than Bae Juhyun, so it wasn’t unusual for Bae Juhyun to call her "unnie."

Liu Xin’an also recalled meeting Im Yoon’ah earlier when he came to this floor.

"Oh, Miss Im Yoon’ah. Taekyon oppa and I bumped into her near the elevator when we came up."

"I saw her downstairs. She mentioned you were here, so I came to thank you."

Kim Heechul briefly explained the situation, then smiled at Liu Xin’an and said, "Would you like me to show you around S-M? If Taekyon oppa is busy, I can take you."

Liu Xin’an hesitated, not knowing how to politely refuse.

Luckily, more than one person noticed his dilemma.

Bae Juhyun stepped in again to help her boyfriend out: "That’s okay, Taekyon oppa will be taking Liu Xin’an to meet Chief Kim later. Heechul oppa, you should go about your own business."

This time, Kim Heechul was even more surprised. He looked at Bae Juhyun with a puzzled gaze that made her instinctively anxious.

This oppa was very perceptive; he could sense even the slightest oddity.

Had she been too obvious?

Fortunately, Kim Heechul didn’t say much more. He nodded with a smile and didn’t insist further.

"Anyway, thanks again for taking care of Momo. If you ever need my help with anything, please don’t hesitate to reach out." After saying this, he turned to Bae Juhyun, raising an eyebrow, "Irene, if it’s convenient, could you give Mr. Liu Xin’an my contact information later?"

"You give it to him yourself. I don’t have your contact details."

"Huh? Really? You’re joking, right?"

Kim Heechul looked shocked. He had known Bae Juhyun for over a decade, practically watching her debut and rise in her career.

To hear this close sister say she didn’t even have his contact information, he felt hurt.

"Yes, really."

Bae Juhyun said this with a calm tone and expressionless face but it was a lie.

She did have it, but giving another man’s contact to her own boyfriend just felt weird to Bae Juhyun.

"Wow, as your oppa, I feel hurt."

Kim Heechul looked shocked, but truthfully, he didn’t quite believe all of it.

He considered himself very close to the members of Red Velvet.

It was clear that Bae Juhyun didn’t want to give it, rather than her genuinely not having it.

So the interesting part was, why didn’t Bae Juhyun want to give his number to Liu Xin’an?

Kim Heechul felt there was something odd between these two, he just couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

He never thought there might be something between them, mainly because Liu Xin’an had a girlfriend, and he knew Bae Juhyun wasn’t that kind of... strange person.

Considering how distant they appeared in the promotional videos... it might be to avoid suspicion?

No wonder she was called Irene!
