Shinhye wanted to force Yonghwa into suggesting an abortion so he would be the one to give up on their relationship. She's well aware that after being with Yonghwa for so many years, it would be impossible to end things completely. Everything that was once a secret had now turned into something he could hold against her; if he is to mention any of them, she would be pushed into a point of no return.

Yonghwa looked quietly at her with a sharp gaze, like he could see through to her soul.

"Of course you should give birth to it. I've already given up so much for this child, did you think I would give up on it so easily? Shinhye, let me tell you, if you dare to abort my child, I will do everything I can to destroy your career."

Yonghwa's words are deep and sinister, carrying a warning. If Shinhye wanted to shake herself off from him and CN, it wouldn't be that easy!

Shinhye looked at Yonghwa dumbfounded. She thought, according to Yonghwa's temper, there's no way he would accept this child's existence, but who would have thought, he'd ask her to keep the child.

If she is to keep the child, how would she be able to sign with JYP?

The news about her changing agencies had already spread like wildfire, if she couldn't get rid of the child, how is she to explain to Mr. Jang and JYP?

Yonghwa looked at the speechless Shinhye as the corners of his lips slightly curved up. There's no way he'd let her retreat in one piece after betraying him. He's going to wait and see what other disgusting things she could do, now that she had the tiger by the tail.

Thinking of this, Jooeun once again crossed Yonghwa's mind; how she once felt and her state of mind, at this moment, he felt like he finally understood it all. So, being betrayed by someone could make one so ruthless and so hopeful for the other person to be destroyed.

Not long after, Yonghwa pulled out his phone. In front of Shinhye, he made a phone call to Minjung. "Give me Jooeun's schedule, I will book a flight to France tonight."

On the other side of the phone, Minjung froze. Yonghwa actually wants to come to France? It seemed he's dreaming of reconciling with Jooeun.

Seeing Minjung didn't respond, Yonghwa's voice turned cold as he spoke more aggressively. "Minjung, I am still the CEO of CN and Jooeun is still my artist. I have the right to know what she is up to!"

In reality, Jooeun had already heard his words resounding from Minjung's phone, so she instructed Minjung. "Send it to him."

"But. . ."

Jooeun shook her head, reminding Minjung there is no need to clash with Yonghwa. Minjung nodded as she unwillingly replied to Yonghwa. "I will send it to your phone." Afterward, she hung up the phone and looked at Jooeun confusedly.

"You are supposed to keep Big Boss company, why did you agree to Yonghwa?"

"Unnie, couldn't you tell? Shinhye is beside him. He just wanted to spite her. With all that's going on with JYP, did you think he would really come? Don't worry. Plus, we aren't even staying in the hotel we originally scheduled." Jooeun explained while she unpacked Jeonghwan's clothes.

After hearing her, Minjung relaxed as she sent Jooeun's schedule to Yonghwa.

"OK, tomorrow morning I will come to pick you up. I'll leave you and Big Boss to exchange some warmth in the meantime." Minjung winked as she left the room and returned to the hotel organized by 1stLook

Not long after, Jeonghwan walked out of the shower after washing up; from head to toe, all he's wearing is a pure white towel. Jooeun quickly stood up to help him dry his hair. She hung to him gently and considerately as she asked, "Did you want to sleep first, or would you like to go for a walk with me to the beach and wait for the sunrise?"

"Of course I want to go see the sunrise." Jeonghwan responded gently. In reality, ever since he had been in charge of GK, he had never been this relaxed. This is all thanks to Jooeun who didn't allow him to bring any work along.

Jooeun smiled as she pulled out a set of fresh clothes and helped Jeonghwan get changed before holding onto his hand and intertwining her fingers with his.

The couple stayed in a beachside villa; their surroundings were extremely peaceful. Unlike her usual model image, Jooeun wore a yellow A-line dress with a straw hat; around her neck hung a camera. Jeonghwan had his arm around her shoulder the entire time as they walked barefoot on the beach. The sound of the crashing waves passed through their ears as a glow appeared in the distant horizon. The couple sat side-by-side on the beach as they admired each other. Jooeun couldn't help but hold up her camera and take a photo of Jeonghwan's face side on.

Jeonghwan turned his head and smiled as he reached out his arm and pulled her towards him before grabbing the camera and taking a selfie.

"I can't keep this photo, can I? If the paparazzi discover this. . ." Jooeun looked at the photo regretfully as she spoke.

"Of course you can keep it." Jeonghwan grabbed onto her chin as he kissed her passionately. "This is a memory of ours."

"Be careful, there are people around."

"At this time of day, where would you find people?" Jeonghwan looked at her amusedly as he once again gave her a kiss; their tongues danced together as their hearts filled with an unexplainable sweetness. Watching the sunrise with the person they loved and walking along the beach together made everything around them seem to stand still; if only the sun would rise later.

Unfortunately, Luxury's show is that morning. As the opening model, Jooeun played an important role, so after the couple finished being affectionate on the beach, she freshened up and headed to the venue. Looking at all the unfamiliar foreign faces, she is suddenly reminded of when she was 18 years old and worked hard in France. She's nervous as usual, but, she's no longer the inexperienced little girl. Her calmness made the makeup artist extremely impressed.

"Luxury's show is filled with newcomers, but you are the only one that doesn't look frightened." Jooeun smiled as she turned to glance at the other models.

"Oh yeah, the opening is originally meant to be done by a different Asian model, but because she is too nervous, they ended up replacing her with you. She is over there." The makeup artist pointed her chin towards the right, gesturing to Jooeun to look over. Sitting on the sofa with a defeated expression is a girl in her early twenties. "She's now become a substitute."

Jooeun glanced at the model; she did not recognize her. Afterward, she changed into her clothes and sat quietly in her chair. She inspected herself in the mirror. This show would be her opportunity to secure an impressive report card before auditioning for Sublime, so to her, it's extremely important. The show would also determine whether she could jump over JYP and YG; placing herself above all of them.

Luckily, Jeonghwan is also present. This is something that made her feel warm just by thinking about it. Not too far from Jooeun, a figure glared at her with hatred. The opening isn't something she's willing to give up. Jooeun had stolen it.

Of course, she recognized Jooeun; she had been slightly famous in Korea recently. But what right did she have to steal someone else's job? She's just an outdated old model from a small company!
