I had no idea that later Lee Yeonju still planned to show the video of him plotting against Bae Juhyun and the others to them...

And looking at Lee Yeonju's expression, it seems she isn't just content with this one video.

Truth be told, if you don't have a heart for trickery, you really can't make it as a variety show director.

Meanwhile, Liu Xin'an, still in the dark, returned home.

It was in the afternoon, and after returning, he didn't think much. Considering the tourist spots at this point seemed really dumb. It was better to wait until Bae Juhyun and the others decide where they want to go, and then think about it.

Liu Xin'an, with nothing to worry about, habitually turned on his live stream and began today's stream.

The stream continued deep into the night when the sound of knocking on the door made him suddenly turn around.

Immediately, he whispered to his friends in the chat.

Only Bae Juhyun has the right to knock on the door of his streaming room and no one else.

So he was very certain that the one knocking at this hour could only be Bae Juhyun herself.

As for why Bae Juhyun would come knocking...

He recalled the celebration party Juhyun mentioned during their call at noon...

Maybe she drank too much?

Thinking this, he turned off both the camera and the audio, rushed to the door.

As he opened the room door, a small, tender hand slapped right on his chest.

Then, a woman with a flushed face and reeking of alcohol showed an excited expression.

"Honey!"

Yep, just as he guessed.

She wasn't just drinking; she drank a lot.

Excited Juhyun directly clung to him, wrapping her arms around his neck, and rubbed her small face against his.

This was Bae Juhyun's favorite cuddling move.

"How much did you drink? Who brought you here?"

"...I don't know either."

Bae Juhyun's clueless answer exasperated Liu Xin'an. He quickly took out his phone and dialed Kang Seulgi's number, and it was picked up promptly.

"Hello?"

"Seulgi, what's up with Juhyun? Did you bring her over?"

"Ah! I brought her over, why?"

"She's this drunk, why didn't you give me a heads-up."

Apparently recognizing the reproach in Liu Xin'an's tone, Kang Seulgi protested.

"When I brought her over, she was perfectly fine, how come she's drunk now?"

"Huh?"

"Put her on the phone!"

Liu Xin'an didn't completely follow Kang Seulgi's instruction but switched to speakerphone instead.

Upon hearing Kang Seulgi's voice, Bae Juhyun gave a silly grin.

"Seulgi~"

"...Weren't you fine just now? What happened that you're now out of it?"

"I don't know either."

"Alright, Liu Xin'an, did Juhyun get hurt at all?"

"Let me check...no, sorry Seulgi, I was a bit harsh earlier."

Realizing the misunderstanding, Liu Xin'an sincerely apologized to Kang Seulgi, who didn't mind this small incident. After all, who could've known Juhyun would be fine one moment and turn into a drunk the next?

"No worries, take good care of Juhyun. I guess she pretended to be okay to come over, and when she saw you, she just let go."

As someone who knows Bae Juhyun very well, Kang Seulgi aptly analyzed Juhyun's character.

She gave her conclusion, then teased the woozy Bae Juhyun.

Right now, Bae Juhyun hadn't fully recovered, otherwise, her face would definitely be red.

"Got it, don't worry."

"Hanging up!"

As the brief call ended, Liu Xin'an supported Juhyun's bottom with one hand, securing her body to his, and headed straight for the bedroom, laying her on the bed.

Touching the soft bed quieted Bae Juhyun considerably. She kicked off her shoes, curled up to climb onto the bed, and wrapped herself with the blanket, leaving only a pair of misty eyes gazing gently at the man who had carried her inside.

"Wait for me a bit, I'll turn off the stream, then take you for a wash, okay?"

He spoke softly, but Bae Juhyun shook her head, refusing Liu Xin'an's request.

"Can't be apart."

Perhaps it had been too long since they last met, Bae Juhyun was particularly clingy.

Liu Xin'an was at a loss, he smiled wryly as he reached out again to hold onto Bae Juhyun, who couldn't let go of him, and carried her back to the streaming room.

Thankfully, he had turned off the camera and microphone in advance, otherwise, it would have been difficult to come up with an explanation.

He first picked up his phone, sent a notification about his temporary situation in his stream notification group, then typed a notice for his viewers in the chat, and once everything was handled, he promptly ended the stream and carried Bae Juhyun to the bathroom.

After an extended struggle, Bae Juhyun, now in her pajamas, finally fell soundly asleep under his soothing, and once he confirmed she was peacefully asleep, he let out a sigh of relief.

The stream had lasted long enough for the day, so even with a sudden shut down, the viewers didn't mind much.

Having nothing else to do, Liu Xin'an had no intention of going back to continue streaming, he tucked Bae Juhyun in, then lay down beside her, holding his soft, warm girlfriend, and drifted into sleep as well.

...

Bae Juhyun was awakened in the morning by her own headache.

"Ah..."

A painful groan slipped through her tightly pressed lips, also waking Liu Xin'an who was lying next to her discussing variety show details with Lee Yeonju and others.
