Chapter 451: On the Evidence That Liu Xin'an Is Not a Robot (Thanks to swalle the Alliance Hierarch! 1/4)
"Morning~"
"Morning, Juhyun~"
Son Seungwan, sitting next to Kang Seulgi, made a disgusted face. These two were at each other's throats yesterday, and now suddenly they're back to being all lovey-dovey overnight.
"What's with that face?"
Pursued by Bae Juhyun, Son Seungwan put on an innocent expression: "It's totally normal, what's up?"
"Are you dying to roast me and Seulgi?"
"No, absolutely not!"
Their conversation made Kim Yerin next to them show a puzzled expression.
"What's up? Did something interesting happen without me knowing?"
They couldn't tell the company about the fight, but it was fine to share it with Yerin.
At this moment, Son Seungwan was desperately in need of allies, so she targeted Kim Yerin.
She wrapped her arm around the youngest member of the group and gossiped about yesterday's happenings with Kim Yerin.
"Those two had a huge row yesterday, super fierce!"
Kim Yerin was taken aback but didn't show an expression of particular shock. After all, this wasn't the first time—it seemed like everyone had argued with Bae Juhyun at some point.
Even she, the youngest, sometimes lost her temper with Bae Juhyun.
But mostly her temper was more of a sisterly dissatisfaction and playful fuss, making her the one with the least arguments and fastest reconciliations with Bae Juhyun in the group.
"Oh~what was the fight about this time?"
As for the specific reason, Son Seungwan didn't plan on telling Kim Yerin. After all, Kim Yerin was still too young to grasp some things as they did, and if Bae Juhyun's troubles were revealed, this kid might start overthinking.
They were destined not to be able to repay Liu Xin'an's kindness, so this matter had to be left to Bae Juhyun to resolve.
What they could do was care for this increasingly pressured sister, particularly where Liu Xin'an couldn't.
This could be considered a kind of return gift.
"Just some weird stuff, and since they've made up now, let's not bring it up. Keep your lips zipped; if the company finds out, you're toast!"
It was only when discussing serious matters that Son Seungwan could act like an older sister to Kim Yerin.
Yes, don't be fooled by Kim Yerin being the youngest, but… truth be told, the ones most easily bullied in the team were actually her and Kang Seulgi, the two older members.
Under "threat," Kim Yerin cooperatively put on a frightened face and then mimicked the action of zipping her mouth, earning a satisfied smile from Son Seungwan.
Then, she eagerly ran over to Bae Juhyun's side and cheekily asked: "Juhyun, how was the trip?"
This time it wasn't just Bae Juhyun going to China; the president of JYP also went.
Even carefree Kim Yerin, thinking about living under the same roof for a week with a big company president, particularly the JYP president, felt overwhelmed.
"Um, not much different from last time."
"Really? Weren't you living with the JYP president? Wouldn't that be incredibly stressful?"
With Kim Yerin's remark, Son Seungwan and Kang Seulgi suddenly remembered this matter.
In fact, on New Year's Eve, Bae Juhyun had shared a photo of her with Liu Xin'an's family in the group, and they were quite astonished by Park Jinyoung's appearance in the photo.
"Ha… the JYP president is actually easygoing in private, you guys are imagining him too seriously."
Bae Juhyun spoke grandly with a straight face, forgetting how panicked and nervous she'd initially been.
"Did you ask the JYP president about our future?"
Aside from his status as president, Park Jinyoung was also an outstanding album producer.
Countless hits have been born from his hands, and his talent was even acknowledged by Lee Sooman.
"Hmm, his evaluation of us was quite good."
"If only we could get a song produced by JYP senior~"
"Half air, half sound huh?"
"Hahaha."
Chattering away, Bae Juhyun and the others quickly turned their attention back to work. It was nearing mid-February, leaving only a month and a half before their next comeback.
Within this month and a half, they had a lot of work to prepare.
Compared to the hard-working Bae Juhyun, Liu Xin'an's day-to-day work seemed quite leisurely.
Yesterday, Bae Juhyun specially came to his streaming room to send him gifts, which had become a popular joke, and his recording team responsibly made clips of it to send to various video creators, like the ones who make content about fun streaming moments.
So far, there hadn't been any parody videos, but considering the popularity between him and Bae Juhyun, it's probably only a matter of time before they appeared.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Liu Xin'an ended his stream, which had started at noon, and amidst viewers' replies of [88888], he wrapped up the session and walked out of his room with a water cup.
He casually turned on the lights in the living room, instantly brightening up the previously dark space, and sat down on the sofa before turning on the TV, making the once quiet house slightly more lively.
Having been with Bae Juhyun for so long, he now had quite a good grasp on the entertainment circle here.
