Chapter 457: Role Reversal (Thanks to Swalle the Alliance Hierarch! 4/4)
Bae Juhyun has always envied Liu Xin'an's speed in showering.
Just as she was going through the plan from start to finish, Liu Xin'an, who had gone to shower, emerged from the bathroom, drying his hair.
To be honest, Liu Xin'an, who looks lean in clothes but is muscular without them, appeared so captivating in his fitted sweatshirt that it was hard to look away.
Being tempted by someone's body isn't just a privilege of men.
Well-built men can also be eye candy for women.
At this moment, Bae Juhyun was that peculiar woman who couldn't help but swallow, her cheeks flushed.
She quickly pulled her gaze back, forcing herself to focus on work again.
But just a few seconds later, her eyes involuntarily wandered back to the man.
This time, her gaze happened to meet Liu Xin'an's eyes that were half-smiling.
In an instant, she was flustered.
"Hey! Just got a bit better, why wear so little again? What if it gets worse?"
Seamlessly switching from guilty to angry, even Liu Xin'an had to admire her, his unreasonable girlfriend.
"I feel completely fine, it was never a serious cold to begin with."
Bae Juhyun, with a stern little face, beckoned Liu Xin'an over.
When Liu Xin'an obediently walked over, feeling her warm little hands on his chest, he was at a loss for words.
"Miss Bae Juhyun, to check if I still have a fever, shouldn't you feel my forehead?"
"Oh? Is that so?"
Bae Juhyun smiled slyly, continuing to openly take advantage of her boyfriend.
"It would be better if you wore a shirt, why a sweatshirt?"
"Wearing a shirt makes it easy for you to unbutton and put your hands in and act naughty, right?"
"Someone shouldn't have the right to complain about me, should they?" Bae Juhyun looked up at him, giving a mischievous smile.
In response, Liu Xin'an shrugged and sat next to Bae Juhyun.
Once he sat down, Bae Juhyun stopped playing around, touching Liu Xin'an's forehead earnestly before pouting.
"You still need to take medicine tonight, the fever hasn't completely gone down... Is your throat feeling any better?"
"It's not as easy to trigger a cough now, though it still feels a bit awkward. Overall, much better than this morning."
Now Bae Juhyun felt a lot more at ease. Playing with Liu Xin'an's big hand, she then snuggled into his arms, wrapping her soft arms tightly around his waist.
Before, when he was uncomfortable, she didn't dare do this, fearing that her boldness might make him feel worse.
Now, she could finally let go of those worries.
"What's wrong?"
"I missed you." Only after shedding all her burdens did Bae Juhyun say what she should have said when she first came over.
Liu Xin'an also lowered his head, holding Bae Juhyun's face up in his hands, then bestowed a gentle kiss on her forehead, smiling affectionately.
"Thanks for worrying about me."
"Next time, no matter what, you must tell me your condition right away. Don't always hide things to avoid worrying me, okay?"
Maybe because she had hidden many things from Liu Xin'an in the past, she knew how uncomfortable such secrecy felt.
But her awkward character wouldn't allow her to say it directly, so she opted for this awkward way to seriously talk to Liu Xin'an.
"Okay, got it."
He nodded, agreeing to Bae Juhyun's request, then grabbed the tablet nearby.
"Let me see how your work is going."
"Hmm... Go ahead."
Liu Xin'an earnestly scrolled through the tablet; there wasn't much content. The plan wasn't the full scheme; a detailed plan would have to be devised by those entertainment professionals at S-M. Bae Juhyun only needed to prepare a general framework.
With Liu Xin'an's previous insights, Bae Juhyun had already established a perfect framework.
Even though variety shows aren't her forte, she does have some related work experience.
As Liu Xin'an was engrossed in the review, a steaming cup of water was placed beside him.
He instinctively glanced at Bae Juhyun by his side, raising an eyebrow: "Are you my secretary now?"
"Hmm, I could be."
"A secretary needs to wear a professional outfit, you know. You're not up to par with this."
Bae Juhyun instinctively glanced at her outfit, then lifted her pale foot, pressing it on Liu Xin'an's thigh, gently rubbing.
"What do you want to see?"
"Black stockings!"
"You actually said it out loud."
"So, can I see them?"
"Rejected, don't even think about it."
It wasn't that Bae Juhyun was unwilling to satisfy her boyfriend, but this guy was full of mischief. If she acceded to this request, who knows what might happen afterward.
The fever had just barely subsided; they couldn't mess around.
Health comes first!
"So stingy. It looks fine to me, why not send it to Manager Kim to have a look?"
"I'll send it to... Taekyon first to check."
Taking advantage of Liu Xin'an's moment of drinking water, Bae Juhyun took out her phone and sent a message to Seong Taekyon.
She also sent the plan over, though there was no read receipt. After all, Seong Taekyon wasn't as leisurely as she was; he had real work to do.
"No response?"
"Hmm, probably busy."
Bae Juhyun nodded, settled her phone, and sat by Liu Xin'an's side, holding her cheeks in her hands and smilingly looking at him.
"I haven't asked why you had time to come over today."
"I've mostly finished what I had to do. Initially, I planned to go to SBS tomorrow, so I thought I'd come by tonight and then drag you to the salon for makeup early tomorrow."
