Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

"It's all cold. Go heat it up."

Sitting on the ground, she kicked Liu Xin'an beside her. Liu Xin'an nodded and didn't refuse.

The dishes were indeed cold.

———

After a night of fermenting, the trending list on the small site was still firmly occupied by Bae Juhyun, Liu Xin'an, Brother An, and Sister Zhuzi.

Likewise, the live broadcast from last night rapidly broke the million view mark, and both Liu Xin'an's personal account and Red Velvet's official account saw a significant increase in followers.

Because the matter was indeed quite big, even though there was no work, Bae Juhyun still tidied herself up and drove to the company early the next morning.

As expected, Bae Juhyun, upon appearing at the company, naturally received many glances from the staff.

Luckily, Bae Juhyun was completely capable of ignoring those looks.

Until she encountered someone familiar...

"Is it really okay to disclose this so directly to the fans?"

The man in front of her, who had a delicate appearance, was often referred to by many fans as "the sixth member of Red Velvet." He had earned this title long before Liu Xin'an.

Yes, the person was none other than Kim Junmyeon, who had maintained a good relationship with Bae Juhyun since their trainee days.

He had long heard about Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin'an, but he never expected them to be so bold, openly admitting it in front of the fans.

Although the company's stance on the matter was still unknown, knowing his own company, Kim Junmyeon couldn't help but worry.

Of course, his worry was unnecessary; he just didn't know yet how influential Liu Xin'an was.

"Fans over in China are very excited. Our domestic fans are within an acceptable range... There shouldn't be any major issues."

Bae Juhyun smiled as she answered Kim Junmyeon's question. She waved her hand lightly and pointed into the distance.

"I have to go now. Bye-bye."

"As long as it's fine."

After saying goodbye to her concerned friend, Bae Juhyun arrived at Manager Kim's office door.

She had contacted Seong Taekyon before coming up, but just because she didn't have work didn't mean the other members didn't. At that moment, Seong Taekyon was accompanying Son Seungwan on their schedule.

Ah, by the way, today was definitely not an easy workday for the other four members of Red Velvet... After her public revelation, with no official activities lined up for herself, those media would certainly trouble Seungwan and the others to dig into her relationship with Liu Xin'an.

For such matters... Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin'an finally decided to reward their younger members with good food.

There was no other way; this was the only way they could compensate their younger sisters.

After knocking on Manager Kim's office door, Bae Juhyun walked in, greeted him politely as usual, and then sat down in front of the desk.

"How does it feel on the first day of going public?"

"Nothing special."

Bae Juhyun wasn't lying. She really didn't feel any changes, but this was also because she had not been in much contact with the fans all along.

The company had already informed her of her tasks early on. Apart from Bubble, Bae Juhyun was still prohibited from using any social media.

It was true that their relationship was now public, but to not overly stimulate the fans' feelings, both she and Liu Xin'an certainly needed to keep a low profile for now.

If they went public yesterday and then appeared high-profile in front of the fans today, even if the fans understood and respected it, Bae Juhyun's excessive behavior could anger them.

It would be difficult to control the situation then.

"Just keep a low profile for a while. After your endorsements are released next month, we'll arrange new work for you."

"I understand."

"Ah, additionally, it seems many fans were looking forward to you and Liu Xin'an appearing together on a variety show during yesterday's live broadcast."

"Uh... Some fans did ask about that, but shouldn't I be keeping a low profile for now?"

Manager Kim nodded and smiled: "That's true, but if a lot of fans continue to show anticipation, it wouldn't be inappropriate to accept some of these variety shows. What do you think?"

Bae Juhyun pursed her lips, thought for a moment, then shook her head. She didn't directly accept nor reject: "I'll need to ask Xin'an first. I can't make decisions for him."

"Understood. If you're interested, let the company know. We'll assist you."

"Got it. Thank you, Manager Kim."

"No problem."

"Manager, what's my fans' current attitude?"

Bae Juhyun had indeed read a lot of comments on Korean platforms, but to understand the fans' attitude accurately, she needed to start with the company.

Manager Kim knew Bae Juhyun was very concerned about this matter. He smiled and waved: "Things are still manageable. Your fans are very loyal; most of them support you. Don't pay too much attention to the negative comments. Even if you didn't go public with Liu Xin'an, those people wouldn't support you anyway. Just ignore them."

"Got it."

After getting a basic understanding of her situation from the company's side, Bae Juhyun finally felt at ease and walked out of Manager Kim's office.

Predicting outcomes now is pointless. The real test will be their comeback in March next year.

Yes, because this comeback exceeded their expectations, the schedule for the next comeback had already been set.

With the upcoming return fast approaching... this rare break was even more precious!

Having figured this out, Bae Juhyun decided to go home early. But...

As soon as she sat in her car, her phone, placed beside her, inconveniently rang.

Seeing the name "Taekyon" displayed on the screen, an ominous feeling rose in Bae Juhyun's heart.

She timidly answered the call, cautiously speaking: "Taekyon?"

"Ah, Irene. Are you free now?"

"Uh, yes. What's up?"
