"Oh? Brother, brother, are you leaving too?"

With a brief pause in his hand movements holding the water cup, Han Yu turned his head and looked at Xu Xian, who was obviously caught off guard and stunned on his face. He pursed his lips and nodded with certainty, "...well."

"But, but now the musical is only half performed..."

"Sorry, Xiaoxian... I can't feel at ease with something at home, so I want to go back early."

A little sincere apology surged from his face. Han Yu looked at the girl in costume beside him, which was completely different from those of Taeyeon's two girls. His voice couldn't help but soften gently.

Suddenly, Hongyan's lips pursed slightly, and subconsciously glanced at the empty lounge where the assistants and makeup artists had already paid for them. Xu Xian couldn't help but ask Han Yu in confusion: "Home? Is Uncle Lin's place..."

"Ah~ No, it's..."

Seeing this girl's misunderstanding, Han Yu waved his hand quickly, but when he wanted to explain, he couldn't help but show a little hesitant look on his face.

“…that’s the case.”

Suddenly, he noticed someone's hesitation keenly, and Xu Xian couldn't help but pursed his lips quietly, with a soft smile on his face, and said softly: "Brother, go and do it if you have something to do. I'm very happy that you can come to see me today."

"Sorry, Xiaoxian..."

"It's okay."

Looking at Xu Xian who looked well-behaved in front of him, Han Yu opened his mouth, but didn't know what he should say. He slightly turned his head and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of the lounge. Looking at the hour hand that was almost pointing to ten o'clock, a hint of helplessness and vague worry flashed in his dark eyes. Then, he turned around and looked at Xu Xian in front of him, his lips hesitantly stammered, and still explained: "Actually... it's because my family... well. Something happened to my kitten at home. She had two claws before and was unable to move. I couldn't tie her with a rope, so I was worried that something would happen if I left her alone at home. I thought I'd go back and take a look earlier."

Of course there is a reason to hesitate to explain whether to explain, because it is really inconvenient to tell the real reason.

Can Han Yu tell Xu Xian that he had an extra "girlfriend" for no reason? Don't mention what Xiao Xian will react after hearing it. If Yoon'er knows it, or even his father and others know it, then... and the key is that Han Yu himself has not recovered for the time being.

But if you don’t explain, it would be a bit rude to just leave like this. Although Xiaoxian has something to do with him, it just so happened that Han Yu could not leave like this rudely.

So in desperation, Han Yu could only make up a reason that was actually similar to the facts... It was this reason that made Han Yu hesitate. After all, anyone who heard that he could not even compete with a cat should be a little unhappy.

However, Xu Xian's subsequent reaction was a bit beyond Han Yu's expectations.

"Kitten? Brother, have you kept a cat?"

When hearing Han Yu's words that ordinary people would feel a little weird and uncomfortable, Xu Xian's face did not show any disappointment or dissatisfaction, but instead a curious expression suddenly emerged. His eyes seemed to look at Han Yu in surprise.

"Haha... Well, I have a one... I have a bad temper, but after getting along for a while, I feel that it's quite a good match..."

He took the opportunity to tease a girl, but when he saw Xu Xian's expression, Han Yu couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his nose awkwardly.

Of course he knew the reason why Xu Xian was surprised, because when he was young, Lin Yunyu was the most impatient type of small animals.

"Ah~ So that's what it is..."

Hearing Han Yu's explanation, Xu Xian nodded suddenly. The expression on his face seemed to fade a little because of Han Yu's departure. Then, Han Yu heard her say with concern: "Brother, please go back quickly. Brother, you should be the kitten you just raised, right?"

"Uh...just so."

"Sure enough~ I have a puppy now. When I first took it home, I would be so nervous if it was sick~!"

"Hmm? You have a puppy too?"

"Well! A little Maltese is called tofu."

“tofu, tofu?”

"Um."

"Well...then it must be a white puppy."

"Oh? Is it so easy to guess?"

"Oh……"

After a simple conversation, Han Yu looked at Xu Xian who was smiling quietly and then smiled, not knowing what he should say. For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to have returned to silence again.

At this time, Xu Xian seemed to have noticed a bit of embarrassing atmosphere between the two of them, pursed his lips, looked at Han Yu gently, and said softly again: "Brother, go back quickly. If the little animal is not around, it will be very irritable, and it will be injured."

"……Um."

After hesitating for a moment, he could not resist the vague worry in his heart. Han Yu nodded slightly, and with his steps moved, he stood up from the sofa and walked towards the door of the lounge. However, after just a few steps, his steps paused again and stopped in place.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Behind him, Xiaoxian, the girl, came the confusing words. Han Yu blinked and suddenly let out a sigh from his mouth. He turned to look at Xu Xian who was also standing behind him. At this glance, the expression on his face became even more complicated.

On Xu Xian's face wearing makeup, Han Yu saw a unique faint tenderness. When facing him, this girl always seemed to have an indescribable gentleness on her body. This was not only reflected in her expression, but also in her every move towards herself.

This made Han Yu's apology suddenly expand many times, especially when he was about to leave, he thought about it carefully, and then he remembered that although he came tonight for Xu Xian, he didn't seem to pay much attention to this girl. Even the musical was just like now. He gave up halfway through seeing it. When he met her for the first time tonight, he actually said goodbye. This is really...

So, thinking about it this way, Han Yu couldn't help but stop when he wanted to leave quickly. Standing not far from the door of the lounge, he blinked and looked at Xu Xian in front of him. The vague worry in his heart was suppressed for a moment. Instead, he began to look at Xu Xian's dress in front of him with interest.

Han Yu had actually seen Xu Xian's makeup in the theater before, but because of the distance and light, he didn't see Xu Xian very carefully. Now, when he looked at it carefully at such a close distance, he couldn't help but curl up slightly, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

Han Yu's gaze was not covered up, so Xu Xian also suddenly felt it. Although he didn't understand why his oppa suddenly stopped leaving and turned around to look at him, this time, Xu Xian no longer had the slightest slightest as he had when facing Han Yu. He just blushed and stood there gently, without lowering his head, but lifting his chin slightly. He looked at the black eyes not far ahead of him, as if he was undergoing a review.

However, when her eyes quietly swept to the smile that made Han Yu laugh at the corner of her mouth, her heart still felt a little faint, and she asked in a low voice as if she was worried, "Brother... brother, aren't it good-looking?"

"Hmm? No, no..."

Han Yu shook his head, then smiled, and looked at Xu Xian standing in front of him, and said in a tone: "I just think... well, our Xian has indeed grown up!"

As he said that, Han Yu's eyes couldn't help but sweep over Seo Hyun's face, which was quite beautiful because of heavy makeup, and the inexplicable smile on his face became stronger and stronger.

“…”

"Yunyu oppa~!"

"Hey, what's wrong? Am I praising you, okay?"

He waved his hand to Xu Xian, who suddenly blushed and looked at him with wide eyes slightly. A little bit of happiness surged from Han Yu's face.

Since childhood, Xu Xian usually calls him "brother" instead of oppa like ordinary girls. Han Yu has long been used to this girl's quirks about her name like Yoon'er. At the same time, he also knows that when Xu Xian starts to call him oppa, it is one of the few times when she has expressed dissatisfaction with herself since she was a child.

But to be honest, this situation has only happened a few times in the past, and it was when Xu Xian was young. When this girl grew older, she almost seemed to have lost her temper. She either lowered her head like an ostrich or blushed and didn't dare to say anything.

Compared to now, seeing that the little girl who grew up dared to stare at her for a long time, Han Yu couldn't help but feel a little relieved and happy in his heart.

You know, Xiaoxian was not just shy to him when he was a child...

"Tu tuk."

"That? Actor Han, you!... Have you finished talking to Xiaoxian? Are you leaving? Quick...why, why haven't you left yet?"

Just as the atmosphere between the man and the woman in the lounge became friendly, a discordant knock on the door rang without warning. Immediately afterwards, a person who was obviously impatient waiting outside the door couldn't help but open the door and come in. When he opened the door, he was slightly stunned not only Xu Xian and Han Yu, but also the person who opened the door was stunned.

The specific reason is of course the way Han Yu and the other two were talking at this time.

Han Yu had changed his clothes back, and the mask on his face had not been put on yet, so the faint strangeness he had when he was wearing work clothes had disappeared. In short, it was a majestic again.

Although Xu Xian, although she was different from her usual elegant outfit, she wore a medieval outfit and put on thick makeup, her tall figure and beautiful face also interpreted this outfit with a different kind of beauty.

So, a young couple stood together. Although the styles of the costumes were different, they still had a...unspeakable feeling of being inconsistent.

Especially, Xu Xian's face turned slightly red at this time, and the faint gentle smile on Han Yu's face...

Suddenly, Kim Min-kyung's brows frowned slightly, and his eyes glanced back and forth at the two people in front of him with some suspicion, but immediately, she didn't think much about it, and directly looked at Han Yu with an unconcealed inquiry gaze.

"……Oh."

Kim Min-kyung's gaze was so obvious that it could even make people feel the faint meaning of her gaze that seemed to drive away people. This made Han Yu feel silenced, and then couldn't help but chuckled, but he thought for a blink of an eye. He still looked at Seo Hyun in front of him and said softly, "Then let's go first tonight...oh! By the way!"

Suddenly, he was going to say goodbye, but Han Yu was halfway through his speech. He seemed to remember something, and immediately turned his head left and right and looked around, searching in the lounge.

"Brother, are you looking for something? Do you want me to help?"

Han Yu looked around so obviously, so after a blink of an eye, Seo Hyun couldn't help asking, while Kim Min-kyung, who was at the door, pursed his lips impatiently, but he still looked at Han Yu walking around in the lounge first.

"No need...ah, I found it."

After searching in the lounge for a while, Han Yu's eyes lit up slightly. He walked to a corner of the lounge, bent down and picked up a bag placed on the ground, opened it and checked it, then turned around and smiled at Xu Xian, who was confused, with relief, "I thought it was taken away by some staff member."

"Brother. What is this?"

Looking at the bag in Han Yu's hand, a little curiosity appeared on Xu Xian's face.

"Oh……"

Seeing the girl's curious look, Han Yu couldn't help but smile again, and then a mysterious expression appeared on his face. Under the confusion of Seo Hyun and Kim Min-kyung, he slowly took out a rectangular plastic box from the bag.

"oh?"

Suddenly, after seeing clearly what Han Yu took out of the bag, Seo Hyun and Kim Min-kyung were both stunned.

"Brother, this is..."

"Ha... Sorry, I didn't have much experience in the first time I came to support. So I forgot the congratulations for the premiere. After I arrived here, I remembered it because of Miss Min-kyung. I went to search and could only find such a flower."

As he said that, Han Yu opened the transparent lid of the plastic box, and then slowly took out a flower with a ribbon from the plastic box under the bright lights in the lounge and under the gaze of Xu Xian.

It has not yet fully bloomed, and the light pink petals are slightly in their mouths. There is no such too conspicuous beauty, but its budding posture also has a different kind of softness under the light light.

"This is a rose, although the number is a little smaller... I hope you don't dislike it. After all, this is also prepared by your fans."

He handed over the light pink rose a little carefully. Han Yu smiled at Xu Xian embarrassedly, and cunningly added some confidence to do so in his words.

Xu Xian stretched out his hands in surprise and took the flower in Han Yu's hand. Although it was indeed much thinner than the wreaths of congratulations sent tonight, it did not hinder Xu Xian's love. Looking at the eyes of the flower in her hand, there seemed to be a slight glow in her eyes. Then she noticed Han Yu's seemingly inadvertent words just now. She raised her head and looked at Han Yu in front of her with a smile on her beautiful face, and asked curiously: "My fans?"

"Well, I haven't found a flower shop in the Art Hall before, but fortunately I met your fans and helped them solve some trouble by the way. Then I took a piece of it from the support bouquet they prepared as a reward."

"Oh? Really? Ah! So brother, you were... gone before?"
