"You mean... this is the opportunity?"

"The idol market here is saturated, but back in our country, it's still a blue ocean."

Bae's mother was stunned for a moment, then she waved her hand.

She's been confused by Liu Xin'an, not caring about those things. The money her daughter earns is already enough for her to live leisurely for a lifetime; there's no need to be so ambitious.

Take what's yours.

Let go of what's not yours; that's the most basic principle.

"I don't care about those; I only care about you all..."

"Mom, this is Juhyun's dream, and it's also Juhyun's promise to Seulgi and the others."

Liu Xin'an interrupted Bae's mother, his voice gentle yet filled with trust and love for Bae Juhyun.

"... You've suffered, Xin'an."

This time, Bae's mother understood.

From beginning to end, it has always been Liu Xin'an accommodating her daughter.

She took a deep breath, opened her arms, and hugged her future son-in-law.

Liu Xin'an smiled and hugged his future mother-in-law back, gently patting the woman's back.

"It's okay, Mom. I also really like Juhyun's dazzling presence on stage; she's truly born for it."

"Oh~"

"So you don't need to worry. Besides, I promise, within a year, I promise I can genuinely call you Mom!"

"Really?"

"Absolutely!"

...

"Achoo!"

An immediate chill swept over Bae Juhyun's entire body.

She instinctively sneezed, then crossed her arms and unconsciously touched her shoulder.

Hmm... got goosebumps, very strange!

"Air conditioner too cold?"

Bae Juhyun sniffed and shook her head, pouting as she muttered, "Suddenly feels strange, like being calculated against."

"Calculated? Xin'an oppa?"

The mention of Liu Xin'an's name made Bae Juhyun raise her eyebrows, showing a surprised expression, and she frowned at Kim Yerin.

"Yerin, is your impression of Xin'an that bad?"

"No, what I meant by calculated was... do you think Xin'an oppa might suddenly come to see you and give you a super big surprise?"

Bae Juhyun let out a light hum, took out her phone, and angrily poked the handsome face of the man on the wallpaper with her finger: "If he can do something that romantic, then he wouldn't be Liu Xin'an."

"Isn't Xin'an oppa romantic? Haven't you really liked those things he sent you?"

"People are never satisfied, Yerin; you'll understand when you fall in love."

If Bae Juhyun said that, Kim Yerin might believe it a bit.

But since the words came from Kang Seulgi, then... the credibility of those words dropped sharply.

"Why do you sound like you're experienced, Seulgi unnie?"

"I've read a lot of novels and watched dramas~"

"...Theoretical master, huh."

"Then ask Juhyun unnie."

After speaking, Kim Yerin and Kang Seulgi simultaneously looked at Bae Juhyun with tacit understanding.

Bae Juhyun's lips twitched, and after thinking for a few seconds, she calmly nodded.

What Kang Seulgi said wasn't wrong; people are never satisfied, and she's no exception.

"So... do you think Xin'an oppa might suddenly come to surprise Juhyun unnie?"

"Possibly..."

"Impossible, that guy has more career drive than I do. If he comes to find me, what about the live stream?"

Bae Juhyun gave a completely different answer than Kang Seulgi.

After all, she's the official girlfriend, and her answer is much more reliable than Kang Seulgi's.

"But that's Liu Xin'an... you never know, it's not like he hasn't done something like this before."

"So... want to bet?"

The betting team—Red Velvet is officially online.

"What are you betting on?"

Son Seungwan, who had been offline, finally showed up.

She wiped the sweat off her forehead and curiously sat down beside the others.

The wave of heat made Kang Seulgi show a look of disdain, but Son Seungwan didn't care, even deliberately leaning closer to Kang Seulgi with a mischievous smile.

"Ah!! All sweaty!"

"What? Didn't you do the same thing to me when you were sweaty?"

The reasonable retort made Kang Seulgi deflate, having no choice since it was indeed her doing before.

"We're betting on whether Xin'an oppa will come to see Juhyun unnie." Kim Yerin kindly shared the contents with Son Seungwan.

Unexpectedly, Son Seungwan didn't hesitate.

"Will definitely come."

Her resolute answer also sparked Bae Juhyun's competitive spirit.

Yes, she always had an overflowing competitive spirit in such trivial matters.

"Huh? Hey, I'm his girlfriend, right? Do you guys know him better than I do?"

"Juhyun unnie, what do you think?"

"Definitely won't come!"

"Bet?"

"Bet!"

Son Seungwan's lips curled into a handsome smile.

The fish...

Is hooked~

Yes, cautious Liu Xin'an would never make such a decision while being unclear about Bae Juhyun's schedule.

A surprise must be undiscovered to truly be a surprise.

For this trip to be foolproof, Liu Xin'an is destined to need someone over there to cover for him... a "tool person."

The tool person must, first of all, be smart.

Secondly, be able to read cues.

Lastly... ensure that this person doesn't have ulterior motives.

In summary, if Liu Xin'an were to find someone, it could only be Son Seungwan.

Yes, actually, the previous sentence by Bae Jinhee would be more suitable when applied to Son Seungwan.

If his and Son Seungwan's secret plans to surprise Bae Juhyun were exposed, they both would really be in trouble.
