Chapter 90: 90. Bae Juhyun! You tricked me!
"Oh? You’re back so early?"
Just as he entered the door, Liu Xin’an immediately spotted a pair of beautiful women’s athletic shoes.
Sure enough, Bae Juhyun appeared in front of him the next second.
Having watched the entire live broadcast, the livestream with Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soongyu relieved Juhyun quite a bit.
Nobody had mentioned her or her group during the broadcast, after all it was Girls’ Generation’s live room.
But she feared those who spoke out of turn regardless of the occasion.
Fortunately, that did not happen.
Throughout the broadcast, there wasn’t much she could understand, so Juhyun was not in a hurry to get to the company before her questions had been answered internally.
Since all the group members had their own schedules today, they could only squeeze in an hour or two to practice together if they really tried.
Might as well take a rest!
"How did it go?"
Juhyun stepped forward nervously, the height of the entryway steps allow her to meet Liu Xin’an’s eyes, and this novel sensation gradually turned her nervous mood into excitement.
Liu Xin’an bent down to take off his shoes, tidying up Juhyun’s shoes which were placed aside with his, and put them together in the corner before stepping up the entryway.
Well, now she couldn’t meet his eyes anymore.
The difference in height was there.
"What exactly do you mean? The livestream?"
"Yes, I watched it using the app you downloaded for me but there were many things I couldn’t understand."
"All went well, no surprises," Liu Xin’an said with a smile, nodding. He reached out to grab Juhyun’s small hand and led her towards the living room, "I also managed to get the autographed photos Seulgi wanted. Those two celebrities didn’t put on any airs, aside from being a bit slick, they aren’t much different from an internet celebrity like me."
This was Liu Xin’an speaking from the heart.
He really didn’t feel that celebrities were superior in any way.
This was probably because artists here weren’t idolized by fans like they were back home; celebrities are indeed public figures here, but neither fans nor staff panders to them...
In an already small entertainment industry that’s steeply competitive, falling short in basic etiquette could lead to disaster.
Last year during the Top 100, he even encountered artists from back home... Well, veteran artists or those who became famous earlier seemed very approachable, but those around his age who had only been famous for a few years...
A single example doesn’t represent the whole, but one rotten apple can indeed mar the perception he held of the entire group.
It’s unavoidable.
After settling down on the couch with Juhyun, Liu Xin’an, who had been busy all day, comfortably sighed and relaxed, sinking into the sofa.
Meanwhile, Juhyun was still curious about the livestream, "Really? Nothing weird or unexpected happened?"
"Weird or unexpected? What do you mean?"
"Like what I worried about yesterday, no rude, annoying people turned up, right?"
Because she had asked Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soongyu for help in advance, Juhyun wasn’t that worried about exposing her identity.
But what she was more worried about was Liu Xin’an saying the wrong thing.
The ferocity of fan cyberbullying could be frightening; for a time, she was so scared she couldn’t even open her own social accounts. Even now, so much time later, she only dared to check her friends’ updates; she didn’t dare touch her own account...
If Liu Xin’an received merciless ridicule from fans for saying the wrong thing, she would be heartbroken.
"Ah, nothing like that, but some annoying people did show up,"
"...Ah? What do you mean?"
"It was when I was reading off the top ten fan IDs, several viewers were making fun of me."
"Eh?"
Juhyun’s puzzled expression caused Liu Xin’an’s confidence to falter; with a pout, he reached out and pinched his girlfriend’s not-so-chubby cheeks.
She was too thin, barely any flesh on her cheeks, not a pleasant feeling to touch.
"Are you doubting your boyfriend’s influence? After all, I’m also a public figure."
Juhyun irritably knocked away the hand that was misbehaving on her face.
"So, everything went smoothly, right?"
"Cough, yes, didn’t I say from the start that everything went smoothly? Here, these are the autographed photos Seulgi wanted. Can you give them to Seulgi for me?"
He coughed awkwardly, then took out three sets of autographed photos from the bag.
Each set contained two photos, one from Kim Taeyeon and one from Lee Soongyu themselves.
After picking out the two sets for "Yang Yi’er" and "A-ze" bosses, Liu Xin’an handed over the remaining two to Bae Juhyun.
Honestly, Bae Juhyun found it hard to describe what kind of emotions she was feeling at the moment.
Especially since... she didn’t even know whether she should pass these two photos to Kang Seulgi or not.
She would be beaten, right?
Even if she were the older sister, she would still be beaten, right?
"No need for her to thank me, just have her treat us to a meal later."
"...Oh."
Treating to a meal...
More like treating to a punch!
———
A good night’s sleep didn’t make one forget all the unhappy things.
Bae Juhyun reluctantly got out of bed early in the morning, sighed as she washed up, changed clothes, left the house, got in the car, and headed to the company.
Then, at ten o’clock in the morning, she cautiously pushed open the door of the practice room.
"Huff... she’s not here yet."
"Who hasn’t arrived yet?"
The sudden female voice from behind made Bae "Scared" abruptly turn around, and upon seeing the girl’s face behind her, Bae Juhyun flashed a bright smile.
"Seulgi, how about sister treats you to a meal?"
"Let’s hold off on the meal, Ms. Bae Juhyun, could you first explain what ’Girls’ Generation superfan’ means?"
Factually speaking, almost all women in their twenties wouldn’t be unfamiliar with Girls’ Generation, let alone juniors from the same company like them.
But because they were too close, this so-called "superfan" stuff could easily be met with merciless teasing from the other party.
Heaven knows how bewildered Kang Seulgi was the very moment she heard the voice messages from Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soongyu yesterday.
After some investigation, she finally found the mastermind behind the message, and Kang Seulgi ran to the company first thing in the morning to lay an ambush.
"Uh..." Bae Juhyun hesitated for a moment, but seeing two familiar figures not far away, she suddenly emboldened, "Did I say something wrong, Seulgi? Aren’t you a superfan of Taeyeon and Sunny?"
"How could I be a superfan! Haven’t you seen how those two sisters tease us in private? Besides, they almost laughed me to death yesterday!"
Kang Seulgi retorted with displeasure, but the next second, the small hand on her shoulder made her tremble.
"Seulgi, what’s wrong with Taeyeon and me privately?"
Because they really had a very close friendship, the two didn’t get angry at Kang Seulgi’s comments about them.
However, they weren’t angry, teasing each other was still necessary.
Lee Soongyu’s gentle voice made Kang Seulgi’s legs go weak. She cast a desperate look at Bae Juhyun and was helplessly dragged away by the two senior idols.
As she was about to disappear around the corner of the hallway, she finally screamed in a desperate tone, "Bae Juhyun!! You tricked me!!"
"Sorry, Seulgi, sister will treat you to a feast later," Bae Juhyun said with a sad face as she watched the pitiful Kang Seulgi fall into the hands of the two senior idols, then she switched back to a cheerful demeanor and thoughtfully closed the door to the practice room.
Of course, fooling around aside, after waiting a while and seeing that Kang Seulgi still hadn’t come back, Bae Juhyun couldn’t help but go to Girls’ Generation’s practice room worriedly.
Seeing Kang Seulgi sitting cross-legged between Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soongyu, listening curiously to something, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are you talking about?"
"Ah, perfect timing, we were just talking about your boyfriend."
This response made Bae Juhyun blush, she awkwardly sat down next to Kang Seulgi and ingratiatingly smoothed her sister’s long hair.
Kang Seulgi of course wasn’t really angry, she smiled at Bae Juhyun and then casually hugged her sister’s arm.
Partly to soothe her nervous emotions.
And partly... afraid this person might run away soon.
