Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

It was as if Kang Seulgi was supposed to make an appearance at this moment.

"Why do I feel like Seulgi should appear here?"

"Turns out Seulgi is the one who has it toughest in your relationship."

Bae Juhyun awkwardly nodded, coughed, and reached out to grab Liu Xin'an's arm.

"Maybe unlike the romantic confession scene everyone imagines, I confessed to Xin'an on my balcony."

"Confessed on the balcony?"

"I'm a bit curious." Seo Janghoon raised his hand, interrupting what Bae Juhyun was about to say. After Bae Juhyun looked at him in confusion, he slowly spoke up, "You two have so many things happening on the balcony, aren't you afraid others might overhear you?"

Everyone was caught off guard by this question, but Seo Janghoon's point made them realize the irrationality of it all.

"Yeah, the balcony isn't exactly a safe place."

"Ah! You don't have to worry about that." Bae Juhyun wouldn't do something so foolish. The reason she chose to have heart-to-hearts with Liu Xin'an on the balcony was that she felt very safe there, "At the time, it was December, even colder than now, and it was deep into the night. At that time, probably only Xin'an and I would choose to bask in the moonlight on the balcony."

"... In a way, you two are really something."

"At least in terms of physical endurance, you two are quite something."

"Hahaha, not at all. I would always wear a very thick down jacket on the balcony, staying warm."

"Why not just use your phones since you were just chatting?"

"Hmm... it's hard to grasp each other's feelings through a cold phone. I'm the type to overthink when reading texts, so even though it's colder, talking with Xin'an on the balcony makes me feel more at ease than chatting on the phone." Bae Juhyun softly explained.

"How did you confess on the balcony? Did you just straight up say 'I like you' to Xin'an?"

"No, I just naturally asked if he wanted to try being together with me..."

Bae Juhyun's voice grew softer, probably because she felt bashful bringing this up on the show, and she hid behind Liu Xin'an.

"Oh!! It unfolds just like a TV drama."

"Kyunghoon, do you... want to try being with me?" Kim Heechul playfully imitated with a mock hint of deep emotion, turning back to look at Min Kyunghoon, who was sitting behind him.

Min Kyunghoon reacted quickly, pulling a face and waving his hand in disgust.

"Get lost, don't disgust me here."

"Hey, wasn't the scene supposed to go differently? Xin'an, how did you respond back then?"

Liu Xin'an recalled the situation at the time. For him, it was probably a scene he'd never forget in his life.

Even though he couldn't see Bae Juhyun's face at the time on the balcony, he vividly remembered Juhyun's soft voice with a hint of tremble.

Even now, it felt as if Bae Juhyun's cool voice would echo by his ear.

"I was quite startled then because we were just chatting, and suddenly she said that."

"Startled?"

"It was more than startled. He even seriously told me not to joke about such things." Bae Juhyun added with a pout.

"I wasn't that serious. I just thought you were joking with me then." Liu Xin'an defended himself. From the time they were together until now, he could count on one hand the times he's been serious with Bae Juhyun.

And for that unforgettable scene, how could he have been serious?

It was more disbelief than anything else.

After all, for him, who didn't know Bae Juhyun's identity at the time, being confessed to by such a beautiful woman was truly, truly unbelievable.

Bae Juhyun ignored Liu Xin'an, regaining her composure, and returned to his side, continuing to detail the events that night: "I said, 'I'm not joking, I'm very serious,' and then he said nothing."

Even now, thinking back to Liu Xin'an's silence after that, Bae Juhyun felt a bit uneasy.

"Was he considering it?"

"Yes... because it was so unexpected, I was caught off guard, not knowing how to answer."

"But he must've been happy, right? Being confessed to so openly by the one he liked, he probably could barely hold back from smiling, right?"

As they say, a man understands another man best. Kim Heechul dissected Liu Xin'an's feelings back then perfectly.

"Yes... I was indeed very happy."

Liu Xin'an was undoubtedly happy, but for Bae Juhyun, it was different...

"But I wasn't happy. I was scared to death!" She complained in frustration, as if to vent the anxiety and tension from back then.

"Why were you nervous? Weren't you already sure Xin'an had feelings for you too?"

"Sure, I was sure, but there were still many unresolved issues between us, so I was only sure that he had feelings for me. I wasn't sure he would accept my confession."

"Ah... that's true too."

"I was really nervous then."

"What would you have done if Xin'an had turned you down?"

This question sent Bae Juhyun into deep thought. After a while, she looked up at Liu Xin'an, who was gazing curiously at her, and she beamed.

"I probably wouldn't have appeared in front of him ever again."

"So did Xin'an agree in the end?" Min Kyunghoon asked bluntly.

Then, sitting in the back row, Lee Soogeun light-heartedly commented, "Of course he did. Otherwise, would the two standing on stage now be enemies?"

"Hahahahahahahaha."
