"Irene is treating us to a meal?"

Lee Soongyu, who was fiddling with her phone, looked up in surprise at Kim Taeyeon’s words.

"Yeah, I don’t know why either. Maybe she has something to tell us?"

Actually, Kim Taeyeon was just as confused because, being in the same company and often seeing each other during events, their relationship with Red Velvet was quite good.

Bae Juhyun had even hosted their group’s variety show before.

But now, thinking about why Bae Juhyun would want to treat her and Lee Soongyu to a meal... honestly, she couldn’t figure it out.

"Could it be she wants to borrow money from us?" Lee Soongyu joked, putting her phone away.

Kim Taeyeon nudged her friend with her shoulder, annoyed: "What are you talking about? Just because Irene hasn’t had many opportunities these two years doesn’t mean she hasn’t earned a lot from her endorsements. Why would she need to borrow money from us?"

"I was just saying... Ah! Maybe it’s something related to opportunities?"

By the way, Lee Soongyu’s identity wasn’t just a member of Girls’ Generation. Considering their company’s status, saying it was her family’s business wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

If it was about helping Bae Juhyun with opportunities... Although she couldn’t directly handle it, if she really asked, it might be somewhat helpful...

"...do you think that’s likely?" Kim Taeyeon rolled her eyes at Lee Soongyu.

Lee Soongyu shrugged her shoulders, neither affirming nor denying it.

Although her long-standing understanding of Bae Juhyun made her aware that Juhyun wouldn’t ask for such a ridiculous thing, who knows?

"Let’s go quickly, or she’ll get anxious waiting."

The practice rooms weren’t far from each other. Soon, Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soongyu arrived at Red Velvet’s practice room.

However, after rehearsal and practice hours, the room was empty except for Bae Juhyun quietly waiting for her seniors.

Seeing the two peeking from the door, Bae Juhyun smiled.

"Taeyeon, Sunny."

"Oh, Irene, let’s get going."

"Sure!"

There were plenty of shops around the company, places they often visited.

Naturally, if a place had their approval, the food wouldn’t be bad.

After skillfully ordering their favorite Korean food, Lee Soongyu rested her chin on her hand and curiously looked at the well-behaved Bae Juhyun.

"Irene, you called us out for something, right?"

They were good friends, so there was no need for any pretense. Besides, Bae Juhyun probably needed their help. This shy girl was probably embarrassed to ask, so Lee Soongyu got straight to the point.

Indeed, asking for help was something Bae Juhyun really didn’t want to do, but now she had no choice. Otherwise...

"Yes, actually, there’s something I wanted to ask Taeyeon and Sunny for help with."

Lee Soongyu and Kim Taeyeon instinctively exchanged glances, raising their eyebrows in understanding.

They guessed right.

So, the favor she needed... It wasn’t really about opportunities, was it?

Lost in thought, what Juhyun said next brought their minds to a halt.

"Actually, the day after tomorrow, the co-host for the mobile game promotion event with you two is my boyfriend!"

———

Bae Juhyun bit her lip and softly revealed the inside scoop.

She was met with two stunned expressions in return.

"Huh?"

"What... What?"

Knowing this revelation was indeed shocking, Bae Juhyun endured her shyness and repeated herself.

"You know how in a couple of days, there’s a live event with a small streaming site from China... For that, they invited a somewhat popular game streamer and translator from China. That male host is actually my current boyfriend."

This time, Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soongyu understood. They exchanged wide-eyed glances, seeing shock and absurdity reflected in each other’s eyes.

"Are you saying that translator is your boyfriend?"

They definitely knew about the event Bae Juhyun mentioned. They had even discussed it yesterday.

But as for the male host and translator, they were clueless.

Mainly because they hadn’t received any related information yet, and... why would they be curious about the translator?

It didn’t make sense.

"Yes... that’s right."

"Wow, you’re dating?"

Unlike Lee Soongyu, who was deep in thought with a slight frown, Kim Taeyeon excitedly moved closer to Bae Juhyun.

"It’s only been a short while since we confirmed our relationship."

"Oh~ Having a relationship during this time is a great choice. How is he? Is he handsome?"

As her senior and a close sister, Bae Juhyun couldn’t refuse or hide her curiosity. Besides, she needed their help, so she took out her phone and found a picture of her and Liu Xin’an.

Beautiful women like selfies, especially entertainers like her.

Her phone now had many pictures of her and Liu Xin’an.

Although she couldn’t openly post them... just looking at these photos often made her very happy.

In the photo, Liu Xin’an posed affectionately with Bae Juhyun, both smiling brightly, making Kim Taeyeon even more excited.

"He’s really handsome! Juhyun, leave it to me and Sunny. We’ll take good care of your boyfriend in a couple of days!"

Kim Taeyeon patted her modest chest, confidently promising.

But this wasn’t the real reason Bae Juhyun invited them to dinner today.

She waved her hands nervously and quickly added: "No, no, no, I hope you and Sunny don’t take care of him at all!"

"Huh? Why?"

Bae Juhyun awkwardly smiled and quietly said, "He doesn’t know I’m an entertainer..."

"...Huh?" Kim Taeyeon looked incredulous.

Could such a thing be hidden?

Don’t joke around!

"It’s true. He’s originally from China and a streamer, so his work mainly involves games and computers. He doesn’t know much about the entertainment industry."

"...Really?"

"Really, that’s why I invited you two to dinner, because I’m afraid you’ll reveal my identity."

Kim Taeyeon uttered an "Oh," nodding instinctively, though her still somewhat confused eyes betrayed her complete lack of understanding...

Fortunately, the other person who had been quiet understood.

"So, you don’t want to reveal your identity to your boyfriend, and you’re worried that Taeyeon and I might expose you during the live event. Did I get that right?"

"Yes!"

"...That’s not too difficult, but Irene, is it really okay to keep this from him?"

Though she didn’t know the specifics of Bae Juhyun and that mysterious guy’s relationship, if it were her... If her boyfriend hid his identity from her, she’d be extremely furious once she found out.

Breaking up on the spot wouldn’t be out of the question.

Such a thing couldn’t be kept secret forever. Even if Bae Juhyun had no work now, that didn’t mean she’d always be on break in the future.

Living here... With entertainment being so common, it was bound to be exposed sooner or later.

"I understand that too. That’s why I plan to reveal my identity to him at the upcoming family concert... Whether he accepts it or not... To be honest, I’m not sure."

Bae Juhyun sighed and looked down, mumbling softly.

She didn’t have to maintain her elder sister image in front of them. Here, she was the youngest.

"Are you inviting him to be a spectator?"

"Yes, that’s my plan."

"...You play it bold."

Lee Soongyu’s teasing made Bae Juhyun blush.

She had no choice. She didn’t dare to confess directly, so she had to reveal her identity to Xin’an this way.

"We get the gist. Don’t worry, since you don’t want it revealed, Taeyeon and I won’t spill the beans."

"Phew... Thank you, Sunny."

"But!"

The following sentence made Bae Juhyun’s heart, which had just calmed down, jump back to her throat.

"Do Seulgi and the others know about your relationship?"

While Red Velvet matters weren’t her business, being part of a group meant Bae Juhyun had to consider her members’ feelings.

If the members knew, it was fine. But if she was hiding it from them...

"Actually, it was Seulgi who encouraged me to be with him. Given my situation, how could I dare to date otherwise?"

"That’s good then, as long as the members know. What about the company?"

"The company doesn’t know."

"Then make sure you stay cautious during dates, and try not to let the company find out for now. Revealing it to the fans would be even worse."

"I know."

Juhyun considered whether to tell them that she currently lived next door to Liu Xin’an.

But considering their reputations in the company and the many rumors about Girls’ Generation over the years...

The mischief of the younger members couldn’t compare to these two elder sisters.

For the sake of her own peace of mind, Juhyun decided to keep it a secret.

"Oh~ so that’s it. Leave it to Sunny and me!"

Finally, Kim Taeyeon chimed in after being quiet for a while.

Having grasped the situation from Lee Soongyu’s concise explanation, this was no big deal!
