Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

"Oh, is that so."

Liu Xin'an nodded. In fact, he didn't really know much about the entertainment circle here. Even if Kim Mihan rattled off a bunch of names, he probably wouldn't recognize most of them.

"Is today's style 'bad boy'?"

After patiently waiting for a while, when Liu Xin'an looked at his girlfriend again, he immediately recognized the very conspicuous makeup and styling.

"Wow, you figured it out! You're improving!"

Bae Juhyun raised an eyebrow, praising her boyfriend.

"Hey, the first time I found out about who you really were, you were singing this song, so of course I remember it well." Liu Xin'an joked. On January 1st, at the S-M family concert, the first time he discovered Bae Juhyun's true identity, she performed the song "Bad Boy" on stage.

Since then, Liu Xin'an has officially fallen into the big pit known as "Red Velvet."

And meanwhile, he also managed to steal away their leader.

Exaggerating a bit, the song "Bad Boy" actually holds a special meaning for Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun.

"Oh, right, Liu Xin'an was there too that time."

Already finished with her makeup, Kang Seulgi nibbled on her rice wrap and looked a bit dazed hearing Liu Xin'an's words.

Unconsciously, these two have been dating for almost a year now.

Hmm... a year, that's definitely a time she should be on her guard.

With the previous experience as a double agent, this time Kang Seulgi decided to put the harsh words upfront.

"Whether either of you is planning a surprise for the other, don't ask me or Seungwan for help. If possible, I hope you find someone else to bother."

True to being good sisters both born in 1994, Kang Seulgi warned both Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin'an while not forgetting to include Son Seungwan.

Upon hearing this, both Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun sighed simultaneously.

This sigh actually revealed quite a bit.

Kang Seulgi widened her eyes, looking incredulous.

"Are you guys seriously considering asking us for help again?"

"...The only mutual friends we have are you guys."

"Yeah, I don't have many friends here to begin with."

The response from this unfair couple left Kang Seulgi rubbing her forehead in resignation, though she was sincerely grateful.

Luckily, she said it early, or else she'd definitely get roped in by these two again!

It's fine when dealing with Liu Xin'an; based on friendship, if she refused him, he wouldn't say anything further.

The problem lies in Bae Juhyun—if she asked, it would be hard to refuse!

"Anyway, this time Seungwan and I have learned our lesson."

"Well, forget it then." Bae Juhyun replied indifferently, raising her eyes to look at Kang Seulgi in the mirror.

Having obtained Bae Juhyun's answer, Kang Seulgi then turned her gaze to Liu Xin'an.

Once Liu Xin'an nodded as well, she continued eating her breakfast in peace.

And just like Kang Seulgi said, unnoticed... he and Bae Juhyun have already been dating for almost a year now.

Time sure flies by unexpectedly, almost as if confirming their relationship was only yesterday; this year seemed to pass by rather mysteriously.

"Alright, you can eat now, but don't eat anything too greasy. Also, don't touch Irene's hair, got it?"

The stylist, who had finished the makeup for Bae Juhyun and Kang Seulgi, stood up, nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Liu Xin'an with a stern reminder.

"Rest assured, I won't do that."

"Alright, call me when you're leaving; I'll go get something to eat first, starving here~"

This morning, the stylist hadn't had a break, helping the female artists get ready is tough, especially since she was the only one today.

"Thank you for your hard work~"

"Ah, I'll go eat something too. Xin'an, you take care of things here."

Kim Mihan knew sticking around now would be a bit awkward, so she suggested going to grab a bite as well.

Soon, the assistant and stylist who came with Kang Seulgi left, leaving only Bae Juhyun, Kang Seulgi, and the slightly awkward Liu Xin'an in the room.

"Should I tag along and grab something to eat so I blend in better?"

"What's all this nonsense? My parents and uncle and aunt are back, right?"

Bae Juhyun's eyes twinkled as she hurriedly asked.

"Yeah, they're back already. I bumped into them when I went back to my room to change clothes."

"How do Uncle and Auntie feel?"

"I think they're quite satisfied... The expressions seemed normal anyway."

"Then that's good."

Bae Juhyun was worried she hadn't done a good job hosting, but knowing Liu Xin'an's parents thought it was okay, she felt relieved.

———

The event location is about an hour's drive from the hotel.

Originally, Kang Seulgi planned to book a hotel near the mall, but later considered grabbing some food at Bae Juhyun's place, so ultimately stayed at a hotel farther from the event venue.

The feast was thoroughly enjoyed, but the price is having to drive early to the event location.

Since Liu Xin'an had taken on the work of an assistant for the day, he quickly changed into an all-black outfit, wearing a black mask and black baseball cap, practically having the word 'low-key' written on his face.

When entering work mode, Bae Juhyun didn't sit at the shotgun to chat idly with Liu Xin'an like before, but sat in the back with Kang Seulgi in the van, watching the practice version of "Bad Boy" while reviewing the dance.
