GK's people swiftly sent Ahn Hani to the hospital. Afterward, Minjung grabbed onto Jooeun's arm.
"Why did you come? You obviously knew this was Yeji's trap. She didn't want you to go on Radio Star. Why did you do something so silly?"
Jooeun looked at Minjung and hugged her tightly as she gently patted her back. "You are the one that's silly. Do I need you to endure so much for me? Do I need you to protect me? You were threatened, yet you didn't tell me. If something happened to you and your grandfather, how do you think I would feel?"
"But look what happened now..."
Jooeun freed her from her embrace and patted her arm comfortingly. "You don't need to worry about anything. Let Taejoo oppa accompany you to the hospital. While you're there, enjoy seeing Hani at her worst!"
"But..."
"Did you think I would let Yeji get what she wants?" Jooeun's words contained a double meaning. "I am protected by Jeonghwan and you are protected by me. So I will help you locate your grandfather. I guarantee he won't be damaged at all!"
"Let's go." Taejoo led Minjung out.
"But today's incident has been blown up too much. The fact that Jooeun has hit someone, shouldn't we do a bit of PR? Will her image be affected?" Minjung was still worried.
"Take care of yourself first." Taejoo helped her into the car and took her to the pharmacy to buy some anti-swelling medicine and an ice pack. "The madam is smarter than you think. She definitely won't be at a loss. Right now, you should take care of yourself, that's the best way you can help her. Don't make her worried, she needs to focus on going up against Yeji."
Minjung held onto the ice pack. She looked completely exhausted but she was still worried about Jooeun and her grandfather. Seeing her in a daze, Taejoo grabbed the ice pack from her hands, grabbed her head, and pressed the ice pack against her cheek. She jolted in pain, but Taejoo continued to press the ice pack on her as he said, "Don't move, this will help your swelling."
Minjung thought about the scene that played out earlier and how Taejoo called her his fiancée. Although she felt warm inside, she knew he was merely following Jooeun and Jeonghwan's orders. So she reminded herself to remain clear-headed. She was older than Taejoo and neglected her looks, especially her figure. Someone like Taejoo couldn't possibly be attracted to her.
"The thing about me being your fiancée, thank you for that. I know it's fake, so don't feel bothered by it. If you have a girlfriend, I can go explain for you."
Taejoo looked at the injury on Minjung's face and pressed harder. "I don't have a girlfriend."
But there's no way you would be interested in the chubby type like me. Long Jie thought to herself. However, she had just freed herself from danger, how could she be thinking about this at a time like this?
Jooeun and her grandfather were still in danger.
Meanwhile, at Sublime Office, Bohyun entered Yeji's office with a complex expression. After placing some documents on her desk, he shoved his hands in his pockets. "Cha Jooeun did not disappoint, she indeed turned up at Dongdaemun Design Plaza. Radio Star's interview is at 8 PM, it doesn't look like she will make it."
"That's perfect." Yeji said in a cold tone. As expected, her plan worked.
"But Ahn Hani has been destroyed by her." Bohyun responded in a disappointed tone.
"What do you mean by that?" Yeji lifted her head with a complicated look.
"Can you guess what identity Minjung has?" Bohyun asked as he leaned on Yeji's desk.
"Just tell me."
"She is the fiancée of the assistant to GK's CEO. Cha Jooeun contacted GK in front of everyone and Park Taejoo arrived within half an hour. In order to stick up for his fiancée, he forced Hani out of the entertainment industry and everyone in the industry has already found out about it. With this battle, she has effectively cut off your 'right arm'!"
Now all she had left was him, her 'left hand'.
After hearing Bohyun's words, Yeji immediately went online to search for related articles. But because of GK's coordination, she was better off asking around. By tomorrow, GK would definitely release an article explaining the entire situation and they had always been good at protecting their own people.
"This can't be right. If Minjung is really Park Taejoo's fiancée, why didn't she mention him when she first got threatened?"
"But if she isn't, then why would GK bother to stick up for a simple assistant? It's a bit unbelievable."
"This incident will take some time to handle. It's not easy to train another international model, are we going to just let Hani get destroyed?"
Yeji stood up from her seat. She was starting to feel a little scared. "Ahn Hani isn't our main priority right now. Our main priority is Minjung's grandfather!"
This was the thing Yeji was most worried about. GK was a sleeping lion that she didn't dare to provoke.
After careful thought, Yeji assured. "Regarding this incident, we should maintain our innocence. I still feel that Minjung and Park Taejoo's relationship is a bit strange, or else why didn't they do anything earlier? Although I don't know how Jooeun is related to GK, we shouldn't get flustered."
"I feel that our main priority should be to deal with Cha Jooeun. If we allow her relationship to become closer with GK, everything will be too late!" Bohyun tried to convince Yeji.
Yeji glanced at him and felt a little on edge. It was all because of a momentary bad decision that she signed Cha Jooeun to Sublime, causing this mess and resulting in Hani's demise.
"How about we let Minjung's grandfather go first? After all, he had no idea we were holding him, hostage, this entire time."
"NO!" Bohyun stopped Yeji. "We still have use for him."
"But this old man has heart disease." Yeji had noticed that Minjung's grandfather took medicine regularly.
"If you let him go you might not be able to find something else to control Cha Jooeun. If that's the case will you still let him go?"
Yeji was silent for a moment before replying. "Of course not. Serious business always requires a bit of sacrifice. Lucky we managed to prevent Jooeun from going on Radio Star. Or else, according to her temper, with what happened today, there's no way she would let it go." Yeji was suddenly angry. "That's because we haven't been harsh enough towards her. Bohyun, we need to plan our next step!"
However, while the two were discussing their next move, Bohyun's assistant suddenly started knocking on the office door.
"Director, President, something big has happened."
"Come in."
The young assistant didn't say anything, he simply turned on the TV in Yeji's office and changed the channel to Radio Star live broadcast. At this moment, they watched as Jooeun took careful steps towards the host and sat down in the studio. Yeji looked at the time and looked back at Jooeun, she was in disbelief.
"What is this? How did she manage to go on the interview? Hurry, get someone to take this show off the air and replace it. Drag Jooeun out of there!"
How was this possible? Didn't Jooeun go to Dongdaemun Design Plaza? Did she know how to teleport?
"This is an official program, we can't do anything about it." Bohyun replied calmly. "After what we did to her assistant today, I wonder how she will reap revenge on Sublime and you."
"She wouldn't dare!" Yeji stubbornly stuck her chest forward.
What else wouldn't Jooeun dare to do?
