NOVEL NEXT Chapter 454: The Curtain Rises
"This afternoon you have an interview, it's with Liu Xin'an. After lunch, get yourself ready and go straight to the MBC building in Yeouido."
Seong Taekyon pushed open the practice room door and called out to Bae Juhyun.
Bae Juhyun nodded, two days had passed since Valentine's Day, which was also the day Liu Xin'an had mentioned for the interview.
"Taekyon oppa, did the manager agree to that thing?"
Although Bae Juhyun spoke quite subtly, Kang Seulgi, who was sipping from a cup beside her, knew exactly what Bae Juhyun was asking about.
After all, Bae Juhyun had shown off that plush toy to them a long time ago.
"You mean the plush toy?"
"Yes!"
The night she got the plush toy, Bae Juhyun had Liu Xin'an ask Manager Kim for authorization.
Manager Kim couldn't make a decision on this alone; ultimately, it's not easy to define whether such a thing counts as a part of Bae Juhyun's merchandise.
But considering the relationship with Liu Xin'an, the result came down pretty quickly.
They just didn't inform Bae Juhyun immediately.
"Agreed, as long as Liu Xin'an doesn't use it for commercial purposes, it's totally fine."
Just as Bae Juhyun confidently believed, such a trivial matter, how could the company that doesn't want to offend Liu Xin'an refuse?
The approval from above came swiftly.
"That's great."
"Don't forget, eat early, and leave soon after eating."
"Is it an on-camera interview?"
"If it's on-camera, you'll go to the beauty salon. It's just a simple interview."
After cautioning, Seong Taekyon left.
Kang Seulgi, having filled up with water, cutely burped and wandered over to Bae Juhyun's side, curiously asking, "Wasn't it supposed to be an SBS interview? How did it turn into MBC?"
Bae Juhyun shrugged; actually, when Liu Xin'an mentioned it to her, she didn't quite catch it clearly. However, listening to Seong Taekyon, it's certainly correct.
"I have to come back this afternoon, so you don't need to wait for me. Just continue with what you're doing."
"Hmm, continue now?"
"Let's go."
The morning quickly passed, after working hard all morning, naturally it was time for a sumptuous... nutritious meal at noon!
Looking at the oil-free lunch on her plate, Bae Juhyun instantly lost her appetite.
Kang Seulgi, however, didn't eat a nutritious meal, her figure remained as good as ever, eating more wasn't a problem, just exercising more would suffice.
She's not resistant to exercise.
"If you don't want to eat, then don't. After the interview, let Liu Xin'an take you for a big meal."
"Who knows when that SBS interview will be, I have to maintain seriously these days."
Bae Juhyun forked a piece of broccoli, putting it into her mouth and chewing hard, her expression growing increasingly lifeless.
She held the spoon, sighing continuously.
Even though she hadn't eaten anything particularly oily lately, why does she always feel like she's gained weight?
"Seulgi, do you think I've gained weight?"
"No, you're actually too thin."
"Really? But why do I always feel like I've gotten a bit fatter?"
"Psychological effect, maybe. Who said you were fat lately, it couldn't be Liu Xin'an, right?"
Bae Juhyun shook her head, it was just purely her own feeling.
Unable to figure it out, Bae Juhyun simply stopped thinking about it, she continued eating her nutritious meal, not caring about the taste anymore, better finish quickly and set off.
Seong Taekyon wasn't the one escorting her to MBC, this minor task didn't require his presence, so shortly after half-past twelve, the van Bae Juhyun was riding stopped at the gate of MBC.
Wrapped in a coat, wearing a mask, she jumped lively off the car but mid-February Seoul was still quite cold.
The cold wind made Bae Juhyun shudder convincingly, quickly wrapping herself tighter in her coat, she lowered her head and followed the staff quickly towards the MBC building.
Her loose black hair beautifully fluttered, though her messy look couldn't quite be associated with beauty.
Once she entered the MBC building, warmth washed over her, and Bae Juhyun finally relaxed a bit.
After entering the door and scanning around, very soon, a glasses-wearing guy with a badge appeared before her.
"Are you Irene from Red Velvet?"
"Yes... Hello, are you here to accompany me?"
"That's right, come with me, I'll take you to the interview lounge."
Bae Juhyun nodded and removed her mask, revealing her signature lovely smile.
Her extremely charming little face quite easily captured people's heart, at least the guy who came to meet her appeared a little nervous due to her beautiful smile.
With the guidance of an insider, Bae Juhyun smoothly reached the sixth floor of the MBC.
Twisting and turning, she walked a good amount, finally standing with her group at a door marked [Lounge].
"The scheduled interview time is at one-thirty, but you and Liu Xin'an are already here, I'll go call the interviewer now, you can go in and have a seat."
"Yes, thank you~"
"No problem."
After warmly seeing off the responsible staff, Bae Juhyun quickly opened the door, indeed, Liu Xin'an was sitting in the lounge, skimming through a magazine in his hand.
The sound of the door opening made Liu Xin'an, who was engrossed in the magazine, snap back and upon seeing the familiar Bae Juhyun, he displayed a gentle smile.
"Here already?"
"Yes, you're quite early."
"Just arrived a few minutes ago, long time no see, everyone."
