Chapter 399: Liu Xin'an's Frustration, and...A Familiar Face (Thanks to Second Sister, the Alliance Hierarch! 2/8)
Because she had to work, Bae Juhyun changed her usual habit of lying in bed and got up early with Liu Xin'an at seven in the morning.
Of course, getting up early didn't mean she was going to the gym with Liu Xin'an.
After Liu Xin'an went to the gym, Bae Juhyun went straight to Kang Seulgi's room. After a gentle knock on the door, the door opened, and a sleepy Kang Seulgi yawned and let Bae Juhyun in.
"So early?"
"Since you're already up, don't go back to sleep. We still have to do makeup."
Because only one stylist came, they had to get up early to prepare for both of their styles.
Kang Seulgi yawned again but didn't lie back down, instead sitting on the bed to try to wake up as much as possible.
"Until what time were you chatting with everyone yesterday?"
"Um... around one in the morning?"
Actually, after the promotional period, the members didn't gather together as frequently as before.
Occasionally, when they had a schedule together, everyone would come to live at the dorm.
Including Kang Seulgi in front of her, actually, most of the time everyone still went back to their own homes.
Bae Juhyun wasn't in a position to criticize the younger ones because she was the one who stayed at the dorm the least during this period.
Other than the time around their comeback, she was mostly busy meeting Liu Xin'an.
So she understood why it was rare for the members to chat late into the night last night.
Of course, she went to bed early, so in this regard, she could still comment on Kang Seulgi.
"You're really full of energy."
"Ugh~ My body feels so heavy~"
"Sleeping early and waking up early is a very good habit, like me, I'm full of energy right now!"
Kang Seulgi showed a speechless expression, thinking it was funny that someone who just got up early once was giving her a lesson... This sister enjoyed her lazy mornings the most during breaks!
"Is Liu Xin'an coming with us today too?"
"Yes, he's my assistant for the day, so feel free to have him help out with any work."
Mentioning Liu Xin'an, Bae Juhyun seemed a bit excited.
Probably because it was the first time she was working with Liu Xin'an since they confirmed their relationship? Although Liu Xin'an was just tagging along...
"Just a small event and you need an assistant, Juhyun unnie really is a big deal~"
"Well, we're big stars after all, isn't it normal to have an assistant?"
"So what are you planning to pay Liu Xin'an?"
"Pay?" Bae Juhyun blinked her beautiful eyes, was there really any need to pay?
"You said he's an assistant, you can't not pay him, right? Even our company doesn't treat people this unfairly."
No wonder she's an employee under S-M, she had no qualms about ribbing her own company.
Kang Seulgi's sharp quip made Bae Juhyun roll her eyes, if others heard that, who knows, it might even affect the company's stock price!
"Just treating him to a meal is enough, come on, we have to do makeup."
"Got it, got it, I'll freshen up first~"
...
When Liu Xin'an finished his workout, the early-risen Bae Juhyun and Kang Seulgi had already started preparing before their work.
Glancing at the message Bae Juhyun sent, Liu Xin'an, who had already changed clothes, arrived at the door of Kang Seulgi's room and gently knocked on the door behind him.
Quickly, the door opened, revealing a woman with a mask and long hair in front of him.
Liu Xin'an recognized her identity, she was none other than one of Red Velvet's assistants who came with Kang Seulgi to Jeju Island.
Of course, Liu Xin'an knew her, after all, he and Bae Juhyun had that kind of relationship...
"Are you really going to be Irene's assistant for a day?"
"Yeah... is it inconvenient?"
"Not really inconvenient, it's just that I can handle this small event by myself."
Having someone to share the workload, Kim Mihan was of course glad, but the problem was... if any issues arose, she couldn't really take the responsibility.
Liu Xin'an's importance to S-M at the moment was self-evident, so even if something went wrong with the event, Liu Xin'an certainly wouldn't face any punishment.
The situation would be different for her...
She was just a worker, to be honest, she was rather afraid of being dragged down by Liu Xin'an's inexperience.
"Don't worry Mihan unnie, I don't intend to make myself stand out this time, I'll be diligent and perform the assistant duties meticulously."
Liu Xin'an was quite confident, after all, he had a legitimate assistant background.
As he always said, having been an assistant for Im Nayeon and Momo was no joke; he knew very well what an assistant needed to do.
Sitting at the vanity while the stylist played with the makeup, Bae Juhyun overheard Liu Xin'an and Kim Mihan chatting at the door and chuckled, "Don't worry, Mihan unnie, Liu Xin'an has worked as an assistant, he knows what to do."
"He's worked as an assistant?"
Nobody knew about him being an assistant for Twice except for a few of them, so Kim Mihan was naturally clueless.
"Yes, so you can relax, Mihan unnie."
"Alright then." Kim Mihan nodded, feeling more at ease; she trusted Liu Xin'an's character, especially since Bae Juhyun vouched for him.
"What exactly is the event?"
"It's a mall's opening ceremony, and because it's a large company that has cooperated with us many times, they invited quite a few artists this time."
"Quite a few artists?"
"Mostly not very famous ones, they two are already considered the most famous."
