Bae Juhyun had finally gotten some rare time off, and Liu Xin'an decided to take advantage and took a day off from streaming, giving himself a break.

Nobody really minded, since Liu Xin'an had been working non-stop for over a month.

Given such a hectic schedule, taking a day off was quite normal.

Of course, when Bae Juhyun learned that Liu Xin'an took a day off for her, she couldn't help but show a joyful smile.

"Are you sure it's okay?"

"It's okay, you've finally got a day off, and I want to spend more time with you. Plus, don't you have to record a TV show tomorrow?"

"Hmm... did the manager tell you?"

"Yeah, I asked about the details."

"Ah~ Just getting a one-day break and I have to get back to work, our company really works us hard."

Eventually, Bae Juhyun slipped on a pair of shorts, mainly because Liu Xin'an's hands were being a bit too mischievous. She wore them for comfort, not to let this jerk take advantage.

Though Liu Xin'an's sports shorts looked like knee-length shorts on her.

This guy really has long arms and legs; who knows how he grew like that.

"It's a lot better now, your schedule is a lot less hectic than before, right?"

"Ugh, this time's comeback feels a bit like the old days, but it seems like we've all aged and can't handle the workload anymore." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Oh no, Yerin is still very young... ah!"

Liu Xin'an made a casual remark, and then his arm got bitten by her.

How dare he mention another woman right in front of her!

And such a sensitive topic as age!

Even if the woman in question is her beloved sister, it's not okay!

"Ow, quite ruthless, Miss Bae Juhyun."

"Miss? So now you're calling me Miss?"

"Looking for trouble, huh?"

"Hehe~"

This playful teasing made Bae Juhyun feel quite content. Whenever she was overwhelmed with work, this comforting feeling always supported her to keep going.

Now she felt that comforting feeling again.

She thoroughly enjoyed it.

Lazily leaning her head on Liu Xin'an's shoulder watching TV, a funny scene made her smile, and she instinctively reached out to tap the phone-distracted Liu Xin'an.

"Xin'an, Xin'an, look, look!"

Liu Xin'an turned off his phone and faced her with a helpless expression.

Even though he was just contacting the show producers behind Bae Juhyun's back, this startled feeling always made him feel like he was doing something wrong.

... Though on second thought, conspiring with the producers against Bae Juhyun was indeed not right.

"Are you really into these dating shows lately?"

The TV was playing the latest popular dating show.

Liu Xin'an didn't get it, putting a bunch of handsome guys and pretty girls together to romantically engage on a show... How mentally repressed do people have to be to enjoy such borderline shows?

"I wouldn't say I like it, I'm just curious about what others usually do when they date... it feels different from us somehow."

Liu Xin'an wrapped his arms around his girlfriend's shoulders, gently inhaling the fresh fragrance she exuded, with a disdainful expression on his face.

"They're fake, we're real, that's why you feel it's different."

"Could they ever develop into something genuine after the show?"

"I don't think so."

"Oh... okay."

Bae Juhyun didn't press further, just relaxedly snuggled against him, not even needing to support herself, fully relaxed.

Because she was sure Liu Xin'an would never let her fall.

Leaning against each other watching the show for a bit, a lazily adorable Bae Juhyun yawned, then wrapped her arms around Liu Xin'an's neck, her eyes glancing toward the bedroom.

However, she quickly realized that her intentions seemed to have been misunderstood by Liu Xin'an.

As the sensation of being lifted occurred, Bae Juhyun instinctively let out an exclamation, followed by seeing a pair of slightly aggressive eyes.

Realizing what might come next, Miss Bae wore a guilty look.

"If I said I just wanted a nap, would you believe me?"

"Of course I would."

At these moments, Liu Xin'an would surely say he believes anything, but whether he would cooperate with it... that's not guaranteed.

Last night, helping Bae Juhyun freshen up, he endured quite a torture, knowing well that taking advantage of a drunk person isn't healthy, so he kept it restrained.

Including when Bae Juhyun pitifully complained about her headache this morning.

Now, Bae Juhyun should... be fine, right?

So he definitely needs to claim the reward for taking care of Bae Juhyun all night long.

Along with... the entire month and a half's worth!

Miss Bae, about to be devoured by a ravenous wolf, knew this fact just as well.

Realizing this time she faced a wolf that has been hungry for so long.

"But I have recordings tomorrow, you... hey!"

...

The saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder" perfectly fit Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun, who hadn't been intimate for over a month.

"I just wanted to take a nap..."
