Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

She's really gone crazy.

And the one benefitting from all this, Liu Xin'an, had a grin reaching his ears.

He obediently nodded, waved goodbye, and got into his car; likewise, Bae Juhyun, as the driver, also got into her own car.

"You're indeed bold, Juhyun unnie."

Just after fastening her seatbelt, Son Seungwan, who had witnessed the whole thing from the back seat, teased with a giggle.

"We didn't get caught on camera, right..."

"If you did, you did. You've both gone public anyway."

"Oh, stop talking nonsense." Bae Juhyun lowered her voice and carefully started the car because, at this moment, in the passenger seat, Kang Seulgi was drowsily asleep.

"Feeling a lot of pressure?"

Son Seungwan's question made Bae Juhyun fall silent.

Liu Xin'an wasn't around at the moment, so she didn't have to worry about him noticing her condition.

But honestly, that smart guy... probably already noticed something.

"It's not really pressure; I just feel like... I love him less than he loves me."

"Oh, come on, you can't think like that. You're Irene! It's Liu Xin'an's fortune to win your favor!"

Son Seungwan was Bae Juhyun's close friend, a good sister, so she would naturally side with Bae Juhyun.

"Stop it, Xin'an isn't lacking either."

"I don't care, to me, you haven't done anything wrong, be confident."

"Ah~ I'm so troubled, Seungwan, what do I do if he loves me too much~"

"... That's enough, don't act all coy."

"Hehe, we're off. Seulgi, fasten your seatbelt, we're leaving."

"Huh? Oh..." Kang Seulgi drowsily opened her eyes, and seeing her sleepy face, Bae Juhyun chuckled warmly and leaned over to help her with the seatbelt.

"Raise your arm."

"Mmm..."

"Sit back in your seat."

"Mmm..."

"Alright, you can keep sleeping now."

"Thank you, Juhyun unnie..."

Even in her drowsy state, Kang Seulgi didn't forget to express gratitude to her caring sister.

"Looking at this, Juhyun unnie, your love for Liu Xin'an is indeed much less. Do you usually take care of him like this?"

"... Honestly, I'm the one who's always being taken care of."

"Tsk tsk."

"Hey! Don't be sarcastic!"

Bae Juhyun's face flushed with embarrassment; is it that she doesn't take care of Liu Xin'an? Liu Xin'an is just too thorough himself.

No, she has to find a way to turn this situation around!

If this keeps going, one day she'll be overwhelmed by Liu Xin'an's overflowing love.

At this time, Liu Xin'an, who was driving home, was thinking about the same thing.

Pressure is a very subtle thing.

He had felt a similar way when he first learned about Bae Juhyun's identity.

At that time, he couldn't offer the slightest help to Bae Juhyun's work, and his feelings at that moment were probably the same as Bae Juhyun's now.

The feeling of being engulfed by helplessness wasn't pleasant, and because Liu Xin'an understood that feeling, he worked so hard to improve himself back then.

...

The first thing he did after arriving home was call Bae Juhyun to let her know he was safe.

"Are you home?"

The woman's soft voice on the other end relaxed him, and he replied softly, "Yes," and asked gently, "Are you busy now?"

"It's not my turn yet. Once I go in, I won't be able to use my phone."

"Ah~ It's not allowed to use your phone in the recording studio?"

"Right, if we're caught, we'll get scolded."

"Then you should go get ready, I have to start streaming too. Let's talk more when we're done."

"Okay... By the way, about what Seungwan said, don't take it too seriously, alright?"

Not wanting her boyfriend to overthink, Bae Juhyun hurriedly reminded him, the anxiety in her words clearly audible.

"I think what Seungwan said makes sense."

"Xin'an..."

"Don't worry, I'm not thinking about those messy things, just focus on your work. We'll talk after you're done."

"Alright then." Bae Juhyun realized it wasn't the best time to dwell on this topic, as both she and Liu Xin'an had unfinished work. "I'll contact you when I'm done. Don't work too late, okay?"

"Got it, let's both keep it up."

"Okay~"

The call ended, and Liu Xin'an set down his phone and walked into his streaming room, ready to start his work for the night.

Similarly, Bae Juhyun took a deep breath, turned off her phone, and walked into the recording studio.

Son Seungwan's heavenly voice soothed her furrowed brows, but soon she grew worried.

It wasn't because she was troubled over Liu Xin'an, but...

"Are we sure about using the original key?"

Son Seungwan poked her head out of the recording studio, looking at Kang Seulgi and Bae Juhyun. The pitch for this main track was really high, and while their singing skills were good, without lowering the key... not to boast, but besides herself, the rest would find it somewhat challenging.

She was okay with lowering the key, considering the overall recording progress.

"We're set on the original key; Sooyoung even specifically told me not to agree to lower it."

Kang Seulgi shook her head and smiled in denial; the song wasn't particularly difficult for her. As the lead singer of the group, her singing wasn't quite on Son Seungwan's level, but she was quite strong nonetheless.

Then, the two younger girls looked in unison at Bae Juhyun.

Bae Juhyun raised her eyebrows in agitation, "I can do it!"

With the eldest sister saying so, Son Seungwan didn't say anything more. She put her headphones back on, walked into the recording booth, and kept clearing her throat while habitually finding the pitch.

Soon, the three who came to record that night smoothly transitioned into their work state.

At the same time, Liu Xin'an officially started his live stream.
