Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 966 - 447: Even the Best of Friends Quarrel
"We didn’t really eat, but Seungwan seemed to have eaten, right?"
Son Seungwan pouted and touched her flat stomach. She really wanted to say she’d eat a bit more, but...
"You’ll save some for me, right?"
"Hard to say." Kang Seulgi mumbled, quickly stepped forward, took the lunchbox from Liu Xin’an, ran aside excitedly, opened it, and began to exclaim repeatedly.
Bae Juhyun, however, didn’t focus too much on dinner. She still looked at her boyfriend with surprise, hands behind her back, and walked up to him.
"Why did you come over suddenly? It’s only been half a day without seeing me, and you missed me already?"
Liu Xin’an smiled gently, reaching out to pull Bae Juhyun into his embrace. As she still looked slightly startled, he gently stroked her smooth black hair.
"Yes, so I came to see you."
"What? So strange."
She liked hearing sweet words, but in front of her two younger sisters...
Thinking this, she sneakily turned her head to look at Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan’s reactions, only to find that they didn’t care about her at all, just staring at the dinner Liu Xin’an brought.
"Hey! That’s for me!"
She broke free from Liu Xin’an’s embrace and angrily ran to Kang Seulgi’s side.
But when she saw the three sets of cutlery, she froze, then pursed her lips, looked back at Liu Xin’an, and a bright smile spread across her face.
"Xin’an, have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet, I thought I’d eat with you two."
"Then... how did you know that at this time there’d only be me and Seulgi in the practice room?"
Although she was asking Liu Xin’an, her eyes were fixed on Kang Seulgi, who was holding chopsticks and seemed stunned.
"Ah? I’m also here..." Son Seungwan pointed to herself in confusion, clearly, she was also at the company.
But soon, the rapidly chilling atmosphere in the practice room made her aware of something unusual, and she hurriedly looked at Kang Seulgi, who was so nervous she kept swallowing.
This strange feeling also struck Liu Xin’an, leaving him slightly bewildered before quickly speaking up for Kang Seulgi.
After all, Kang Seulgi called him because she was worried about Bae Juhyun’s condition.
"Juhyun, Seulgi was also worried about you..."
"Can you step outside for a moment?"
Bae Juhyun looked back, cutting off Liu Xin’an’s attempt to explain for Kang Seulgi.
She looked calmly at Liu Xin’an. Although it was a question, the undeniable tone left Liu Xin’an at a loss for words.
Son Seungwan, who knew Bae Juhyun well, also quickly waved to Liu Xin’an.
Something was off. Bae Juhyun... seemed genuinely angry.
Unable to do anything else, Liu Xin’an could only sigh deeply and obediently walked out of the practice room, waiting at the door.
Since it’s called a practice room, the soundproofing effect here was naturally surprisingly good.
At least for now, Liu Xin’an couldn’t hear a single sound from inside the practice room.
...
For Red Velvet, Liu Xin’an, this "outsider", leaving was also like a signal.
"Seulgi, why did you contact him?"
Bae Juhyun’s cold voice revealed no emotions, but those who knew her well understood that she was on the verge of anger.
However, Kang Seulgi didn’t understand why Bae Juhyun was angry, so she quickly explained herself.
"I saw how you were this afternoon, thinking that calling him might make you a bit happier..."
"Happy? I am happy, that’s true, but why did you tell him I was unhappy?"
"..."
"Did you want him to step up and negotiate with the director to cancel that program plan, or change it to something that wouldn’t burden me so much?"
"Yes, I thought about it. He has the ability, so why not let him step up?"
Kang Seulgi’s thoughts weren’t complicated, but the problem was...
"Yes, he can help me, he can solve it, but what about me? Do you know how much I owe him? Do you want me to never be able to lift my head in front of him, always being that protected person?"
She owed Liu Xin’an so, so much...
Left her hometown, came to live abroad alone for her sake.
Helping them, Red Velvet, to climb back to such a high position after so many ups and downs, with even more room to grow.
And... allowing them to gain such a good reputation and popularity in China.
Just these achievements alone, not to mention life’s trivial matters, made it hard for her to breathe under all this pressure.
Kang Seulgi isn’t wrong; Liu Xin’an’s presence can still solve the vexing issues she currently faces, but...
Does she want to trouble Liu Xin’an again, and owe him another favor?
Bae Juhyun knows she is pathetic and hateful; always saying she’s independent, that she’s a complete person... yet she still drowns in the comfort Liu Xin’an gives her, unable to extricate herself.
But this is something she just needs to know herself.
However, Kang Seulgi’s actions have completely pulled her out of the excuses she made for herself, displaying her most repugnant side starkly before her eyes.
It’s hard to say who she’s really angry with.
Kang Seulgi’s presumptuous decision? Or her own... despicable shamelessness?
"I just don’t want you to keep feeling down like this, Juhyun unnie, and... you don’t like that plan, right?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"That’s my own issue! I can endure it, I can accept it, I don’t need you making decisions for me!"
Bae Juhyun yelled out in frustration, suddenly unable to control her emotions as hot tears uncontrollably slid down her cheeks.
Her words also made Kang Seulgi abruptly stand up.
"What?" Kang Seulgi’s eyes reddened as well, staring steadfastly at her closest sister in disbelief.
"I said don’t interfere! Just take care of yourself!"
"I’ve always been helping you all, and now you say this to me?" Kang Seulgi became very angry.
"Yes, I’m really grateful for your help, Seulgi, but why did you take action this time..."
"Bae Juhyun!"
Kang Seulgi loudly yelled Bae Juhyun’s name, interrupting her questioning.
Then, under Son Seungwan’s dazed gaze, she shot Bae Juhyun a cold glance, her indifferent gaze made Bae Juhyun feel as if she were plunged into an icy cave.
"Don’t talk to me again."
She softly dropped this line, then quickly picked up her phone and jacket, bypassing Bae Juhyun, heading straight for the practice room door.
"Seulgi..." Son Seungwan instinctively got up to try to stop the departing Kang Seulgi.
However, Kang Seulgi didn’t give her any time to move.
With a "bang," the practice room door swung open, and the anxiously waiting Liu Xin’an came face to face with the tearful Kang Seulgi.
Before he could react, Kang Seulgi, with lowered eyes, quickly bypassed him and soon disappeared from his sight.
He promptly turned around and walked into the practice room, spotting Bae Juhyun with her back to him, fists clenched and body trembling.
"Juh..."
"Leave!"
"I..."
"I said leave!"
The sobbing tone in her voice was unmistakable; Liu Xin’an took a deep breath, glancing at Son Seungwan, who was also tense.
Son Seungwan quickly waved at Liu Xin’an, signaling him to go out.
Bae Juhyun was currently angry; if Liu Xin’an added fuel to the fire, it might escalate from a sisterly quarrel to a couple’s quarrel plus sisterly quarrel.
Liu Xin’an, receiving Seungwan’s signal, understood this reasoning, nodded, turned around and walked out of the practice room, though he didn’t leave, just leaning against the wall, taking a deep breath.
He understood that some things weren’t his place to meddle.
But...
As Bae Juhyun’s boyfriend, he must always be by her side during her most vulnerable moments.
Even though... there’s a wall between them now.
———
I’ve made it clear, so there won’t be any situation where Juhyun would take out her anger on Xin’an. Here, Xin’an chose to listen to Wenwen and not get involved, because this is a sisterly quarrel, not a lovers’ quarrel.
I don’t know if my approach has any issues, I hope everyone doesn’t mistakenly think Xin’an is not manly enough...
Also, both Juhyun and Seulgi are at fault in this matter.
