Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 64: The Couple Share the Stage

"Jooeun, you should learn to be satisfied; stop trying to climb up any further, or else, I don't know what else Shinhye and my sister will do to harm you. Don't tell me you want to be covered in wounds?" Yonghwa said anxiously to Jooeun's back. "Turn back, stop seeking revenge."

Jooeun kept walking. The words that were coming out of Yonghwa's mouth sounded funny and ridiculous after all the hurtful things he had already done to her.

As she is walking out, Jooeun turned her head and subconsciously looked at the bin in Yonghwa's room. The invite that belonged to her, still sat in the bin, torn to pieces.

Revenge?

"Yonghwa, all I want is fairness; I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Have you ever been fair to me?"

Yonghwa's reaction is slow as he tried to follow Jooeun's gaze. However, Jooeun had already turned around and all he could see now is the back of her head. Yonghwa wondered whether Jooeun already knew about the Bright Night Gala.

After leaving Yonghwa's room, Jooeun headed for CN's main entrance. However, Shinhye couldn't help but parade herself proudly around the building as she stopped Jooeun at the entrance. She gave a proud and provoking look. "Isn't this Seoul's New Upcoming Model, Cha Jooeun? She is so popular these days."

"Move." Jooeun said calmly.

"I've received an invitation from the Bright Night Gala, what about you? Miss New Upcoming Model?" Shinhye placed her head on Jooeun's shoulder as she spoke mockingly. "So what if you shot the Oriental Trend? In the end, aren't you still unwelcome in the modeling world? I'm sure you understand how important the Bright Night Gala is to a model."

Shinhye pulled out her invitation and flaunted it in front of Jooeun. "I have it, but you don't. Oh, that's right, not only do you not have an invitation, you don't even have a manager. Who's going to discuss your contracts?"

Jooeun's face remained calm as she stood in place allowing Shinhye to be as arrogant as she wanted. After Shinhye finally stopped talking, Jooeun revealed a slight smile as she used a voice that could only be heard between the two of them. "The judge's bed, is it softer than Yonghwa's?"

Shinhye froze.

"The Bright Night Gala and whether anyone is discussing my contracts for me isn't something you should worry about. You better focus on applying more perfume, to cover up the smell on your body, the smell of cheating is so strong. How long do you think Yonghwa will remain blind to it?"

After speaking, Jooeun watched as a look of guilt crossed Shinhye's eyes. Afterward, she let out a laugh as she pushed Shinhye out of the way and walked out of the building, leaving Shinhye standing all alone cursing.

Shinhye's professionalism had remained stagnant for a long time because she spent too much time scheming against others and caring about her own pride. She also spent too much time flirting with Yonghwa. Otherwise, after 4-5 years in the industry, how could she still be a B-Grade model and not someone already at the top of their game?

After exiting CN, Minjung is waiting for her in the car with a mysterious smile. Jooeun looked at her curiously as she let out a laugh. "What is it?"

"I'll take you somewhere." After speaking, Minjung started the car and drove Jooeun to Seoul's most expensive downtown area, Gangnam, and led her into one of the most expensive branded stores.

"Why did you bring me here?" Jooeun looked at the open display afraid she would be seen by fans.

"Buying your battle gear."

A deep voice, not Minjung's, resounded from the VIP area. It's Jeonghwan, who had been waiting for a while. He's wearing a dark blue suit which wrapped around his alluring body. He took confident and poised steps towards her with a bold and seductive smile; he looked like an emperor from a painting.

"Jeonghwan."

"The Bright Night Gala, CN does not want you to attend, but I intend on making you the center of attention." Jeonghwan walked around and hugged her from behind to draw attention to her perfect curves. She owned a pair of beautiful slender legs that even the gods would be envious of.

Minjung knowingly retreated from the store, allowing the couple to be affectionate. Jooeun could feel the warmth from his body as she asked. "Aren't you busy at work?"

"No matter how busy I am, I can't forget to care about you." Jeonghwan whispered into Jooeun's ear as he gently rubbed her earlobe between his lips. "Did I tell you, I am the Bright Night Gala's special guest?"

Jooeun is stunned for a moment before calming down again. GK won so many awards, of course, Jeonghwan would attend.

"This will be the first time since we got married, that we will share a stage. The show with Stonehenge doesn't count, so this opportunity is very important to me."

"The reason I brought you to this particular store, is because they have a high degree of confidentiality. Also, they have just released a series of couple of designs. In the entire world, there is only one of each."

After hearing this, Jooeun finally understood Jeonghwan's intention. He wanted them to wear clothes from the same series and wear matching jewelry that only they knew about. Even though they couldn't announce their relationship; he wanted her to know, no matter what position he was in and where he was, in the end, they were husband and wife and she was the only person that could be by his side. Even if people couldn't tell their clothes were from the same series, knowing the logo inside is the same. Jooeun felt safe and warm. Most importantly, it symbolized they were in this together.

"From the sounds of it, you've already selected something?" Jooeun's heartfelt warm; she's surprised that Jeonghwan's thoughtfulness would go to this extent. She had no doubt Jeonghwan already prepared everything.

"Follow me." Jeonghwan grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the change room. Behind the partition, she could see the dress on the mannequin's body; her eyes looked stunning.

"Go try it on."

Jooeun held back the burn in her throat as she entered the change room. Her hands trembled as she removed the dress from the mannequin. She had been a model for so many years and worn so many clothes, yet this is the first time a piece of clothing had ever made her feel like crying.

It's a rosy red mermaid dress with transparent shoulders. The cutting was just right, making her body look even more slender and perfect. On her body, it appeared soft and graceful; she looked like she had come straight out of a painting. Jooeun stood speechless in front of the huge mirror; her heart pounded harder and harder until Jeonghwan changed into his suit and stepped out behind her.

At this moment, Jeonghwan is wearing a black handmade suit with a black tie as well. Out of his front pocket sat a matching handkerchief; he looked poised like an English gentleman. In fact, he looked even more calm and confident than an aristocrat.

Jooeun looked at the couple in the mirror as she grabbed onto Jeonghwan's hand. "We look like the perfect couple, what should we do if someone figures it out?"
