The media couldn't offend GK, even though they didn't understand why GK is helping Jooeun. Even Minjung don't understand why their plan had ran so smoothly. She had originally expected it to take a few days.

"Jooeun! Tell me, are you being supported by another company?"

"No." Jooeun replied as she glanced at the man beside her. "However, there is indeed a person that has been assisting me behind the scenes. But I can't reveal who it is yet."

"Hahaha...well that's OK. We will talk about it later. Just the thought of Jung Yonghwa's distraught face is enough to satisfy me!" Minjung assumed Jooeun had help from her family. She had no idea that Jooeun had, in fact, suddenly become the wife of the King of Entertainment: Lee Jeonghwan.

"Are you trying to use this opportunity to leave CN?" Jeonghwan asked as he elegantly sliced the steak in front of him.

"No, I would be letting them off too easy if I was to leave so simply. I am going to tear them down from their perch." Jooeun explained. "Plus, I have already decided to return to the modeling industry. Unfortunately, my popularity isn't as great as before, which is why CN may come of use."

"You are like this right now because you are angry. What if one day you no longer hate..."

"What I have decided on, I will not regret let alone turn back." Jooeun told Jeonghwan in certainty. When in love, she could love with all her heart. When in hate, she could tear the other person apart with her bare hands. On top of everything, quite a decent amount of time had passed since news of Jooeun's exposure on stage had gotten out, yet Yonghwa hadn't even made a single phone call to check on her. Instead, he had released news that could easily ruin Jooeun. There is no way she's going to let Yonghwa hurt her again.

Jeonghwan remained silent, but he's already intrigued by Jooeun. Jooeun isn't stupid, in fact, she's very smart. She knew she couldn't hide anything from Jeonghwan so she quickly revealed everything in front of him. Whether good or bad, there's no holding back – all that existed is trust.

"I've asked my assistant to prepare a room in this hotel. Tonight, we will be staying here. My home is no fun." Jooeun's ears flushed red as she nodded. "Up to you..."

Meanwhile, Yonghwa is all over the place, trying to come to a truce with the media and his business partners. Coupled with the news of Shinhye's pregnancy, the thought of Jooeun didn't even cross his mind nor did he care where she is right now.

After a romantic dinner, Jooeun followed closely behind Jeonghwan as he led her to the presidential suite. Surprisingly, it isn't just any normal presidential suite. It's actually a wedding suite. Under such rushed conditions, Jeonghwan somehow managed to prepare so much for her – she couldn't help but feel touched by his consideration. If it was someone else, there's no way they would have done the same.

Jeonghwan could sense the nervousness coming from Jooeun. He removed his suit jacket as he turned to her and said, "I'll have a shower first so you can have some time to make a decision. If you are still unsure, we can delay our wedding night indefinitely."

Jooeun is thankful for his thoughtfulness as she watched him head into the bathroom. But they were already married, what right did she have to make Jeonghwan accommodate for her childish indecisiveness? Thinking this, Jooeun threw open the door and headed into the bathroom. Jeonghwan looked at her in surprise as she reached out and embraced him in a tight hug. "I do not regret."

"Are you sure? Once I've made you mine, you will no longer have the chance to change your mind." Jeonghwan restrained himself. His deep sexy voice is enough to strike a chord in anyone's heart putting them into a daze.

"I am certain."

Hearing her response, Jeonghwan let himself go. With one hand, he grabbed Jooeun by the waist and pressed his lips against hers. With his other hand, he undid her dress which is now soaking wet. Jooeun's mind is buzzing. She had never experienced a kiss like this before, one so magical she is losing control. Standing under the shower, Jooeun looked up at Jeonghwan. Completely mesmerized, she examined his handsome looks. She noticed the diamond-like mole on his earlobe and his eyes that are looking at her passionately – wanting to swallow her whole.

However, even when the time came to take things further, he did not rush. Instead, he wrapped her in a towel and carried her in his arms out to the rose petal covered bed. Afterwards, his tall body came down on her, he's already wearing protection. However, just as he is about to enter her, he felt an obstruction. Jooeun cried out in pain. Jeonghwan pulled back quickly as he wrapped her in the blanket. He originally thought, since Jooeun is in the entertainment industry and she had already been in a relationship with Jung Yonghwa, this couldn't have possibly been her first time, but the feeling just now, he's sure, she had never engaged in this type of activity before.

"What's wrong?" Jooeun noticed Jeonghwan had stopped and couldn't help but lift her head up to question him. Her face is blushing attractively.

"Let's do it next time." Jeonghwan is surprised, at the same time he felt bad for having misunderstood Jooeun.

"Are you not satisfied with me?"

"If I had continued going, you would have been hurt." Jeonghwan put on his robe and returned to the bed, trying to control his desires. He didn't want Jooeun's first time to be a bad experience.

"Why didn't you tell me you had no experience?"

"How am I to bring up something like this?" Jooeun responded as she huddled up against Jeonghwan's shoulder.

"I knew you would have found out yourself. Anyway, what was that just now? Did we...do it?"

"Regardless of whether we did it or not, you are now my wife. You can't escape." After he spoke, Jeonghwan stood up, lifted Jooeun up and headed for the bathroom. "Let me see if you are hurt."

Looking at the worried expression on his face, Jooeun couldn't help but let out a laugh. "You are nothing like how the outside world portrays you."

"How did you think I would be like?" Jeonghwan placed Jooeun gently into the bathtub and turned on the water.

"A ruler with complete control over the life and death of his entertainers. A person with no human sense."

"To other people, I am indeed like that." Jeonghwan expressed sincerely. "But you are different, since you are my wife and are so trusting of me, I will show you my true self. However, Jooeun, I must warn you. To me, a lie is a lie. If you betray my trust, I will never forgive you." Jooeun sat up comfortably, her nose almost touching Jeonghwan's.

"What a coincidence, I am the same." That night, their physical relationship had technically only reached halfway. But their hearts had been drawn closer together.

The next morning, Jooeun awoke to the blinding light of the sun shining through the window. To her surprise, the spot beside her was already empty. She thought Jeonghwan had already left, but he is actually waiting for her patiently in the living room while flipping through some documents.

"I've prepared some new clothes in the bathroom for you. We will leave after you freshen up." Jooeun nodded obediently as she turned towards the bathroom. At that moment, her phone suddenly rang, it's Yonghwa.

Jooeun looked at Jeonghwan awkwardly as he charmingly lifted one eyebrow and asked, "Do you want me to pick it up?"
