Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

A crisp female voice chimed in as well.

"Sis, when are you and brother-in-law coming back..."

The curious voice abruptly stopped as she saw the two people in front of her instantly separate.

The atmosphere in the bedroom became stagnant.

After a few seconds, Bae Jinhee wore a bewildered expression: "Why did I suddenly go blind? How strange..."

"Bang!"

The bedroom door closed again, leaving only Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun inside, both looking incredibly awkward.

Bae Juhyun was the one who truly couldn't lift her head.

Today was really unlucky for the two of them; they had been caught by her family three times in a row while getting cozy or teasing each other.

"So, um... sorry about that, my family doesn't seem to have the habit of knocking on doors."

"Hm..." Liu Xin'an stayed silent for a bit before slowly replying, "It's okay, I'm used to it."

"Sob sob~"

...

"So why did you come back so early?"

Trying to regain some dignity, Bae Juhyun struck a big sister pose and walked into her younger sister's room.

Bae Jinhee was tidying her clothes. When she saw Juhyun enter, she sat cross-legged on her bed, supporting herself with her hands behind her, smirking: "All done?"

"Hey! We didn't do anything, we were just lying together for a bit!"

"Yeah, yeah, I get it."

"Aish..."

Bae Juhyun started cracking her knuckles. She hadn't seen her sister for a while, and this girl seemed to have gotten quite bold.

"Ahem, so, Sis, when are we leaving!"

Jinhee was all for teasing, but seeing Juhyun genuinely flustered, she backed off a bit.

"Hmph, we'll talk about it tonight. Dad wants Xin'an to invite his parents over too, I'm worried."

"Worried? Why worry?" Jinhee looked confused.

"Because uncle is very busy... it feels bad to bother him with such trifles."

Bae Juhyun plopped down next to her sister and began helping her sort her clothes.

"Isn't Xin'an's dad someone really impressive?"

"Yeah... very impressive."

"How impressive? More impressive than Lee Sooman?" Jinhee's face was full of gossip.

Bae Juhyun thought for a moment, then smiled innocently: "Way, way more impressive than Teacher Lee Sooman."

"Oh my god..."

"So now you understand why I don't want Xin'an to trouble uncle, right?"

"Hmm..."

Bae Jinhee stayed silent. If that was really the case... she would also side with her dad.

She needed to see for herself before she felt comfortable allowing her sister to be with Liu Xin'an.

"Isn't uncle incredibly intimidating?"

"Who, Liu Xin'an's dad?"

"Yeah, every time I see our company's director, I get scared to death." Jinhee deduced based on her experience.

But Bae Juhyun just shook her head with a smile: "No, uncle is very, very kind. Oh! Xin'an also has a very, very important uncle, and you know him too."

"Me? Why would I know him?"

Jinhee looked baffled. How could she know Liu Xin'an's family?

Bae Juhyun gave a mysterious smile and gestured for her sister to come closer.

"What? So mysterious." Though grumbling, Jinhee leaned in.

Her pupils suddenly dilated, and she was stunned.

"Huh?"

———

"JYP? The JYP I know?"

Jinhee asked Liu Xin'an with an astonished tone, causing him to blink in surprise before nodding instinctively.

"Yeah, why?"

"...Then why do you look so..."

"Ahem, Bae Jinhee!"

Bae Juhyun quickly coughed to interrupt her sister. Although teasing Park Jinyoung's looks had almost become a running joke, it certainly wasn't appropriate to say that in front of his nephew.

Jinhee realized her slip and hurriedly apologized: "Sorry, sorry."

"Uh, it's fine, my mom finds it strange too."

Liu Xin'an waved it off with a smile. He was also puzzled, given that his uncle indeed wasn't very handsome.

"So, Sis, you've got connections with JYP's president now."

"What are you talking about? We don't have any connection."

"Well, he's Xin'an's uncle, so he's like your uncle too. When you leave S-M, you'll have a place to go. Congratulations, congratulations."

"..."

"..."

Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun were both speechless, especially Juhyun. Why would she leave S-M?

"What are you guys talking about?"

"Hmm, just some trivial stuff. By the way, Dad, when should we leave?" Bae Juhyun diverted the topic. One "chaebol" background was already making her dad nervous, adding another relative who was an agency president...

Bae Juhyun was really afraid her dad would refuse to let her and Liu Xin'an stay together.

It wasn't that she wanted to hide things from her family; it was just that without first-hand interaction, it was hard to change her family's stereotypes just by her words.

More effort was needed.

"Tomorrow... but it still depends on what Xin'an's family says."

"Oh! My parents can fly directly to Jeju Island, no problem with that."

"Hmm... but isn't there still the matter of visas?"

"Jeju Island allows visa-on-arrival, that's easy too, don't worry."

Liu Xin'an replied with a smile, finally easing Juhyun's father's concerns.

"Alright, then tomorrow it is. Jinhee and I have already taken our leave from work."

"Okay, once Mom gets back, we'll buy the tickets and book the hotel."

"Yay!"

With a confirmed time, Jinhee, who had been eagerly anticipating this trip, cheered excitedly.

Even their father revealed a rare smile. It had been a long time since the family had such a joyful trip together.

Thankfully, Bae Juhyun had regained her cheerful demeanor. He much preferred his eldest daughter being so full of energy.

Sitting beside her, Liu Xin'an had already started searching for a suitable hotel on his phone before Juhyun even mentioned booking one.

Soon, he found a hotel with a very nice view and showed it to Juhyun.

"How about this one?"
