Chapter 412: Xiao Liu's First Korean Variety Show (Part 3)
After greeting all the staff, the two along with Seong Taekyon and two accompanying staff members arrived at the resting room provided by the program team.
But they barely sat down before the door to the resting room was knocked.
The staff at the door quickly went to open it, and it turned out to be none other than Kim Heechul, who had a good relationship with both Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin'an.
Over the past couple of days, Liu Xin'an has often chatted with Kim Heechul. To form a bond between men, having common topics is all that matters.
Coincidentally, Kim Heechul is also a young man addicted to online games.
They both share a keen interest in games, and the initial friction caused by Momo disappeared with the emergence of gaming.
"Yo! How are you feeling?" Kim Heechul entered with a smile and asked.
He mainly directed this question at Liu Xin'an, as although Bae Juhyun isn't as skilled in variety shows compared to her sisters, she at least had professional training.
Liu Xin'an understood and nodded with a smile.
"I'm not too nervous, don't worry about me, Heechul hyung."
"That's good then, we've prepared loads of gossip, so don't be timid when the time comes."
Kim Heechul's teasing remark made Bae Juhyun roll her eyes, but with no cameras around, it's okay to be a little casual in private.
"Are you here to put pressure on us?"
"Come on, I'm here to check on you guys."
"Clearly you're just adding pressure, no one cares for others like that."
Luckily, her boyfriend isn't the type to get shaky during big scenes, otherwise, Bae Juhyun might have kicked Kim Heechul out.
"Really... By the way, Xin'an, don't be too restrained later. Sometimes Hodong hyung and the others might act a little exaggerated. It's all for show, don't get scared."
"Got it."
After Liu Xin'an calmly replied, Kim Heechul showed a gossipy expression.
"Give me some inside info?"
"What inside info?"
"The questions, oh! You haven't written them yet?"
The entry application form needs to be filled out, usually containing personal information and who you want to become in the future. After all, it's meant to simulate a school environment, so the questions on the application form match those typical for students.
Of course, the answers can be quite diverse.
"Not yet, preparing to write."
"What do you plan to write?"
Bae Juhyun swiftly hid the two application forms behind her back and looked at Kim Heechul with a grin, "We'll write them after you leave, Heechul hyung."
"What! Making it so mysterious, you guys must have big plans this time."
"Yes, it's Xin'an's first time participating in such a variety show."
"True, the novelty is important."
Kim Heechul seemed to understand Bae Juhyun's intention, nodded, "Alright then, won't disturb you anymore, we'll start recording."
"Okay~ Bye-bye."
Liu Xin'an also waved to Kim Heechul, and after he left, he reached out to Bae Juhyun.
Bae Juhyun handed one of the application forms to Liu Xin'an and then began writing and drawing on her own form.
"Who should I write as my desired desk partner?"
As a newbie, Liu Xin'an felt it was appropriate to ask his senior.
And here, the senior was naturally Bae Juhyun, who was sharing the resting room.
"Hmm... Xin'an, you should write Heechul hyung to make it easier for him to look after you."
"But I want to write Lee Soogeun."
Bae Juhyun looked speechless, since he already had someone in mind, why ask her?
Causing trouble, eh!
"You've already chosen, why ask me?"
"Not sure if writing him is good, so I wanted to ask my senior."
Liu Xin'an showed an innocent smile, but calling her "senior" every time made Bae Juhyun feel quite awkward.
"It's okay, and can you stop calling me senior? It sounds weird."
"Then... sister?"
"Hey!"
———
While Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun were filling out their application forms, filming had already begun at the recording site.
As the last to enter, Kim Heechul started shouting loudly as soon as he opened the door.
"Hyung! Hodong hyung! We've got some amazing guests today."
Sitting in his seat, Kang Hodong turned his massive figure to face the excited Kim Heechul.
"Why are you late today?"
"I went to meet today's guests, they're impressive. Our show is sure to trend!"
"Really managed to invite them over?"
"Yes, this is the first variety show they're attending together, it's breaking news!"
...
Before reaching the door, Liu Xin'an already heard the noise coming from inside the classroom.
He glanced back at Bae Juhyun following behind, slightly making way for her.
"You go in first, I'm afraid I might create an awkward silence."
Considering he's not from the entertainment industry and doesn't have any noteworthy works, if he just went in like that it might create awkwardness, so Liu Xin'an let his girlfriend go first.
Bae Juhyun understood this well, she nodded, came to the door, and couldn't help looking at the staff in the distance.
Next, she needed to follow the staff's instructions to enter.
Once the staff nodded, Bae Juhyun took a deep breath, turned back to Liu Xin'an, mouthed "Go for it," and then gently pulled open the sliding door in front of her.
The sound of the door opening made the MCs inside the classroom instinctively look toward the entrance.
Until she peeked her head slightly and presented her shy smile to everyone, cheers erupted in the classroom from Kim Heechul and others.
"Woah!! Irene!"
"Wow, she actually came."
"Welcome, Irene~"
Faced with the cheers from everyone, the rather introverted Bae Juhyun showed an awkward smile and didn't enter directly. She stood at the door, waved smilingly.
