So the remaining real couple...is it Jeon Somin, Song Jihyo, or Bae Juhyun?
"Next, we'll announce the last winner."
Today's conditions for winning were numerous, and in this situation, the final winner naturally happens to be the one lucky enough to team up with the real couple.
Yoo Jaesuk, Ji Seokjin, along with Liu Xin'an all started to feel nervous.
"Yoo Jaesuk!"
"Yay!!"
Yoo Jaesuk excitedly waved his fist, while Liu Xin'an couldn't believe it, his gaze falling incredulously on Bae Juhyun in front of him.
He actually guessed it right, the real couple is Bae Juhyun and Yang Sechan...
The show crew really knows how to stir things up.
The three winners today all received today's reward, a pretty impressive Korean Beef Set.
However, Liu Xin'an hadn't even warmed his prize before Bae Juhyun snagged it away.
This domineering act made the MCs laugh.
"It's probably the first time on RM that a guest snatched a prize."
"I'm more curious whether there will be a dark knight willing to take Irene's punishment for her later."
HAHA said while looking at Liu Xin'an standing on the side.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Liu Xin'an couldn't possibly retreat without a word, and he stood out willingly, raising his hand high.
"I'll be the dark knight."
"Oh! Not cool at all."
"Hahaha."

After exchanging contact details with the RM members and hugging Kim Jongkook affectionately, Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun finally sat in the familiar van at five in the afternoon.
Just as she settled onto the seat, Bae Juhyun began to hum uncontrollably, lazily sinking into the sofa, not wanting to move at all.
Her biggest dislike for outdoor variety shows was the exhaustion.
Unlike those mainly talk-focused indoor variety shows, today's RM had her walking all the time, with barely any time to rest.
After a whole day, she was definitely worn out.
After quietly sitting in the van for a while, before Seong Taekyon returned, Bae Juhyun finally tilted her head to look at the man sitting next to her, crossing his legs while tapping on his phone.
"Hungry?"
At noon, Liu Xin'an only ate some seaweed and rice...though it could fill the stomach, given Liu Xin'an's daily energy consumption, she was worried her man might be hungry.
Actually, no one is a kid anymore, if hungry, they'd definitely find something to eat by themselves, but that's what love is like; regardless of time and place, she always keeps her heart attached to the man, worrying about his every move.
Liu Xin'an understood this well, so he looked up and earnestly answered his girlfriend's concern.
"Yeah, I'm hungry."
"Hmm, let me check, there should be some snacks kept by Yerin in the car."
Bae Juhyun got up to go to the back row, starting to rummage through a small box.
"If you keep taking Yerin's snacks like this, be careful she might get angry later."
"No worries, I'll just say you ate them, and let her be mad at you."
"Though you indeed got them for me, I didn't ask you to do it."
"Want some?" Bae Juhyun pulled out a bag of cookies and waved it in front of Liu Xin'an.
Liu Xin'an swallowed a gulp and then smiled shamelessly, taking it over.
"I definitely want some."
"Then stop babbling."
"Yes!"
"You did pretty well today, junior."
Exhausted though she may be, Bae Juhyun mostly felt physical fatigue.
Interestingly, recording the whole day didn't make her mentally tired at all, perhaps because this episode was filmed with Liu Xin'an?
"Did you really confirm my identity right from the start? The production team didn't secretly tell you?"
"You acted really, truly suspicious."
"Really?"
Bae Juhyun smiled proudly, her crescent eyes and lips spreading joy to those looking at her.
In the whole entertainment industry, there's no one with a brighter smile than Bae Juhyun, and Liu Xin'an is exceedingly proud of this fact.
"I know you the best."
"Being so well understood by Lady Irene, it's truly the luck of us juniors."
"Hehe, go ahead and laugh secretly."
"Lady Irene the great, could you wear those black stockings that are the stuff of my dreams tonight, and fulfill a shameless request of mine?"
Anyway, it was just the two of them in the car, and Liu Xin'an loved to see Bae Juhyun's blushing, stammering, unable-to-speak expression.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the woman slumped beside him turned red, her slender leg, covered by her coat, suddenly kicked up, landing squarely on Liu Xin'an's chest.
To be a bit more comfortable, Bae Juhyun had taken off her shoes and sat cross-legged, which was one of her favorite positions.
It also made it easier to kick this guy.
"Hey!"
"I saw you have them in the closet~"
"Hey!!"
Bae Juhyun blushed even harder, but... those were indeed something she occasionally prepared as a reward for Liu Xin'an.
After all, a little fun between lovers is necessary, and it's not just Liu Xin'an who enjoys it; Bae Juhyun actually likes it too.
But at this level of leg kicking, it's impossible for Liu Xin'an not to defend against it.
Before long, he grasped a petite foot.
Then, his nose twitched slightly, revealing a somewhat complex expression.
Noticing this, Bae Juhyun struggled even harder, her shy expression turning straight into shameful anger.
"Hey! You!!"
Her feet were absolutely, absolutely odorless; even though she had been running around all day, she had thoroughly cleaned herself before getting into the car. Post-shoot cleaning was a basic for artists, as they must always ensure perfection in front of others...
So Liu Xin'an! He was absolutely, absolutely doing it on purpose.
Fortunately, before she could curse, the front passenger door opened and Seong Taekyon got in.
And the moment he turned his head, his expression froze, turning into a helpless tone: "Don't mess around in the car."
"Hyung, what are you thinking, she's attacking me."
"Alright, stop messing around, buckle up. I'm taking you home."
Seong Taekyon's words left Bae Juhyun, who had managed to withdraw her foot, a bit puzzled.
She wasn't in a rush to discipline Liu Xin'an; she was more puzzled about why they were heading home now.
"We're close to the dormitory, Oppa, send me back to the dormitory first."
The van started smoothly, and upon hearing her words, Seong Taekyon looked up at the rearview mirror.
His gaze lingered on Liu Xin'an for a moment before turning to the perplexed Bae Juhyun.
"Take a day off tomorrow; the schedule has been full lately, and it's quite cold. I wouldn't want you guys getting sick, the year-end stage is coming. Rest up."
"Really?!"
Bae Juhyun's eyes lit up immediately. From the comeback until now, she'd been busy for ten days straight.
Her average sleep was probably just about five hours a day, though she was used to it; if there was time to rest, it'd naturally be the best.
Exhausted as she was, she didn't recall if tomorrow was a special day; she was simply happy to have some time to rest.
"So do you still want to go back to the dormitory?"
"No, take us home."
What a joke, if she went back to the dormitory, she'd have to take care of that group of younger sisters; but if she went home... she could comfortably enjoy Liu Xin'an's service!
The answer was easy even with her eyes closed.
An excited Bae crossed her legs again, then happily took out her phone to share the news with the members, but after Kang Seulgi teased her, she realized she was the last to know about it.
Fortunately, it wouldn't affect her good mood.
After chatting excitedly with the members for a while, she tilted her head and looked at Liu Xin'an, who was pressing his phone non-stop: "What are we having for dinner tonight~"
"..."
"Xin'an? What are you doing?"
Seeing that Liu Xin'an didn't seem aware of her question, she asked again.
Only then did Liu Xin'an put down his phone, smiling warmly.
"Nothing, just some streaming stuff."
"Doesn't matter?"
"Yeah, doesn't matter."
