"I sent you a message, you just didn’t see it."

"Nonsense! Anyway, it scared me. I thought you couldn’t handle my identity and just left."

Bae Juhyun didn’t care if they were filming the show anymore. She angrily grabbed her boyfriend’s collar and shook him vigorously.

That was the second time, after the confession, that she’d been so anxious she trembled all over.

"Was Irene scared back then?"

"Yes... my hands went numb, and I didn’t know what I was thinking."

"Luckily, the misunderstanding was cleared up, right?"

"Yeah."

Bae Juhyun didn’t plan to share every detail. Those weren’t things to casually disclose to fans, so she just nodded without saying much.

"Wow~ was it such a twisty story?"

"Twisty? It feels like a normal love story." Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun exchanged glances.

"Apologize to all the ordinary couples out there!"

"Your story has nothing to do with ’ordinary’, right?"

Bae Juhyun pursed her lips and chuckled. Having shared enough of their love story, she felt it was time to move the filming along.

Otherwise, these gossiping MCs could keep them there all afternoon.

So, she patted Liu Xin’an’s arm and then opened her fair little hand.

Liu Xin’an was momentarily stunned but quickly realized what Bae Juhyun wanted. He hurriedly pulled out the "enrollment application form" they had filled out from his bag.

"We’re supposed to hand this in, right."

Lee Soogeun, who was in charge of collecting the forms, stood up: "Just give it to me."

Liu Xin’an walked around Bae Juhyun, came out from behind the podium, and handed the two application forms to Lee Soogeun.

Lee Soogeun took them, glanced over the first one briefly, and said, "The first one is Irene’s... well, not much different from before, let’s skip it."

"Hey~ why!" Bae Juhyun looked quite aggrieved. She had attended the show several times before, so why skip hers now?

"Just kidding, let me see... Name, Irene, Group, Red Velvet..."

"Purpose of enrollment, to add some beauty to Recognizing Brother High School... what’s this, you’re just here to flaunt your romance." Lee Soogeun read it briefly, then disdainfully tossed the form aside.

"Exactly, skip it quickly, we’re more interested in Xin’an’s situation."

Feeling ignored, Bae Juhyun looked at Liu Xin’an with a sense of grievance, and Liu Xin’an smiled as he gently tidied her slightly messy bangs.

However, his doting action was met with universal protests from everyone.

"Hey! You’re here to study; have some decency!"

Liu Xin’an raised an eyebrow and, in a very sincere tone, responded, "Ah, sorry, we really shouldn’t be like this in front of Janghoon and Sangmin."

After years of hosting, Liu Xin’an had mastered the art of responding to comments with a hint of sarcasm.

And his reply made Kim Heechul and others laugh uncontrollably.

Of course, Janghoon and Sangmin, the two involved in the divorce joke, just smiled wryly.

"Xin’an is quite entertaining; it seems he’s familiar with us."

"Yeah, it’s such a fun show, I’ve watched many episodes without realizing it."

"Wow~ such an honor, such an honor, it seems we’ve really gone international."

"Ahem, alright, the main event is coming, next is Xin’an’s enrollment application."

"Oh!!!"

Compared to reading Bae Juhyun’s application earlier, the MCs were much more excited now.

It’s worth noting that it’s rare for "Recognizing Brother" to show more interest in a male guest over a female idol.

Their cheers made Bae Juhyun keep a straight face, but after a moment, she couldn’t help but laugh.

"Name, Liu Xin’an."

"Age, 28... Xin’an, are you younger than Irene?"

Lee Soogeun suddenly discovered something surprising and hurriedly asked.

"Um... yes, I’m two years younger than her."

"So, it’s an older sister younger brother romance?"

"Yes."

"Then..."

"Don’t say it!" Bae Juhyun quickly interrupted Kim Yeongchul, who was about to speak.

Kim Yeongchul was dumbfounded.

"What? What’s going on?"

"What did Yeongchul hyung want to say?"

Kim Yeongchul was curious. Did Bae Juhyun guess what he wanted to ask?

"I just wanted to ask if Xin’an ever called Irene ’noona’."

"Ah!! I knew that’s what it was."

"What’s wrong? Irene doesn’t want Xin’an to call her noona?"

Bae Juhyun’s delicate face scrunched up slightly. She glanced at the amused Liu Xin’an and said sulkily, "Sometimes, Xin’an acts more mature than me, so he likes to jokingly call me noona to tease me, which I really dislike."

However, what a pity, this is a variety show.

Bae Juhyun dislikes it?

That’s great, this group of variety show folks just loves to see current popular female idols looking awkward.

These moments are guaranteed to boost ratings.

So, everyone’s reaction was very coordinated.

They all looked at Liu Xin’an, and finally, Kang Hodong asked, "So how do you do it?"

"Ah!! Please don’t do this!"

Bae Juhyun’s wails were ignored by everyone, including Liu Xin’an, who had slipped into performance mode.

Men tend to form an unspoken agreement in odd ways, like... teasing pretty girls.

Liu Xin’an flashed a mischievous smile that slightly undermined his gentle demeanor and looked playfully at his girlfriend: "Should I say it?"

"Hey, say it if you dare!" Bae Juhyun shook her fist, trying to use force to make Liu Xin’an behave.

Usually, he doesn’t want to call Bae Juhyun that, but now... he did want to tease his girlfriend a bit.

So...

"Irene noona~"

"Ah!!!" Bae Juhyun clutched her head and wailed.
