Comforting Bae Juhyun was no longer a very difficult task for Liu Xin'an.
He let her hold him while gently stroking her back, attempting to soothe her in this way.
After staying quiet for a while, he could feel her arms gradually relaxing.
"Not scared anymore?"
"Still scared."
"What's there to be afraid of? I'm not going to get mad at you over something like this." Liu Xin'an couldn't help but smile wryly; anyone would be upset about being hit out of the blue, but he also understood why Bae Juhyun was upset.
Having one's sore spot directly poked would not be so easily accepted by anyone.
Though it was a misunderstanding, indeed, his conversation with Li Chenglu was somewhat... uh, easy to misinterpret.
"Do you think I'm an especially violent person?"
"...I've seen you in your group's variety shows, you didn't exactly go easy on Seulgi and the others, did you?"
"That was a subconscious reaction to the emotion at the time!"
