Hello hello everyone!
Soooo, if you have read the original version by Passion Honey, you probably know the plot, the whole story of TMH. It's just that I change the characters' names and such. One more thing, this is just to satisfy my liking towar...
"Miss Cha Jooeun, I'm warning you, if you still want to survive in this industry, you better get out there and apologize. Or else, I will make you regret ever existing," the angry company representative yelled at Jooeun arrogantly.
Jooeun laughed gently as her expression remained calm – like she had just witnessed a joke. "The words have already left my mouth, how am I to apologize? On top of everything, if I was to apologize, who would apologize to the consumers?"
"If you don't apologize and help us eliminate all the negative responses you have created, then we will have to use extreme measures." The representative warned threateningly. After speaking, he glanced over at the event security guard and gave him a look. Understanding the hint, the security guard immediately started walking towards Jooeun.
Seeing the scene unfolding, Minjung and Hyewon quickly formed a human barrier in front of her. Minjung pointed at the client as she asked angrily. "What are you trying to do?"
Han Yufan whose face was pale, normally wouldn't deal with companies like this, but because he was in a rush to clear Shinhye's name, he did not prepare himself against Jooeun. An outdated model actually had the nerve to announce a comeback?
Did Jooeun really think, after leaving him, she could start all over again?
Yonghwa sneered before pulling Jooeun over and throwing her to one side. "Jooeun, I know you hate me. But by doing this, you aren't hurting Shinhye, you are hurting yourself. A model that has broken the industry rules, no matter how proud you are, will not be hired by anyone."
"Really?" Jooeun raised her eyebrows slightly. "I don't think so!"
"I don't care why you did this. I also don't care how envious you are of Shinhye. Now that the event has been completely messed up, you will need to explain things to the client and you will have to pay the compensation for breaching the contract. Don't even try to throw the blame on CN Entertainment." Yonghwa yelled at Jooeun heartlessly. "Also, in relation to clearing Shinhye's name, since you won't cooperate, I have no choice but to release a statement on your behalf. When that time comes, you will just have to suck up any negative comments."
"President Jung, it seems you have not fully understood my words. My announcement for my comeback was to show that from now on, I will comply with whatever parts of the contract I should comply, but at the same time, I will enjoy what I deserve to enjoy." The look in Jooeun's eyes at this moment were cold, without even a trace of warmth, because towards the man in front of her, all she felt was disgust. "No need to be impatient, my lawyers will arrive this afternoon and run through each section of the contract with you. They will clarify every part of the contract that I should have enjoyed over the years which I have not received."
Seeing Jooeun like this, Yonghwa was stunned, he never thought Jooeun had this side to her. He couldn't believe she could force someone into the corner so aggressively that they couldn't even fight back.
"No, it must be because she received a shock." Han Yufan comforted himself. "A woman that had usually been weak, how could she suddenly become so powerful? She must be trying to gain my attention." Han Yufan told himself.
"Oh, Jooeun, must you really cheapen yourself to this extent? Why can't you just let go?"
As a result of Jooeun's sudden announcement, the scene of the event was in total chaos. The company representative saw that the two had not come to a resolution yet, so rushed to their side impatiently. Looking at Jooeun threateningly he spoke. "If you don't give us a satisfactory explanation, then don't expect to walk out this door."
"Jooeun, don't force us." It felt like a showdown was about to take place, but Yonghwa simply stood back and observed the scene playing out in front of him. He had no intention of helping Jooeun, because he wanted Jooeun to know the consequences of betraying him shouldn't be taken lightly. However, never did it cross his mind that he himself was the one to betray first. Minjung protected Jooeun anxiously as she watched the 3 security guards closing in on them. Within the industry, there were plenty of artists without a high status that had experienced all sorts of abuse. Minjung, at this moment, hated the fact that she was not a man. Seeing they had nowhere to run, the security guards' eyes smiled slightly – it was impossible for them to escape. However, at this time a loud 'PANG' echoed through the room as the waiting room's door flew open. A tall man holding a briefcase entered with 3-4 bodyguards.
Scanning the room with his eyes, he asked, "Who is in charge here?"
"May I ask who..." the company representative stepped forward.
"I am the lawyer of GK Entertainment, Jang Dol Mok." the lawyer responded sternly as he pulled a letter out of his briefcase and handed it to the representative. "The advertisement you shot last month has illegally used a photo of one of our artists. This is a serious violation resulting in damages to GK Entertainment. This is a letter of notification, we are confident we can sue you until you are bankrupt." After speaking, the lawyer took big poised steps out of the room while leaving the bodyguards behind – the reasoning was simple, they were to protect Jooeun.

The representative looked like he had just been handed a bomb as his hands began to tremble. He never thought he would attract the attention of the famous entertainment empire, GK Entertainment. Small companies exploiting loopholes to increase their companies popularity was not uncommon. But, no one had ever had action taken against them by GK Entertainment. Was it because they were having a run of bad luck? No one knew the real reason, but Jooeun was well aware, this was Jeonghwan's way of finding a chance to help her take revenge. Out of everyone they could offend, who told them to offend Jeonghwan's precious wife?
Minjung snickered on the side realizing the situation. This small company was so arrogant without knowing Jeonghwan had already instructed his men to lie low until the time was right. It was clear how thoughtful he was towards Jooeun. At this moment in time, the client was no longer in the mood to care about what Jooeun said at the event. Inside, they knew very well, getting on GK's bad side meant they were watching their own imminent death.
Yonghwa was also frightened by this sudden turn of events. In order not to be implicated, he immediately left the waiting room. His cowardly face was so shameful it did not deserve a second glance, not even from someone like Hyewon.
"Jooeun, let's go!"
Because their motive had been achieved, Hyewon treated everything like a stroke of good luck. She knew, luck was very important in this industry, and Jooeun, obviously had luck on her side.
Announcing a comeback meant everything would have to start afresh. But, Jooeun believed, as long as she didn't give up, she could still get back to where she was 3 years ago and even surpass it. The internet was cheering while the name Jooeun, was once again revived. Everyone started to see Jooeun in a new mysterious light.
Long Jie was so excited she started reading some of the comments to Jooeun with a huge smile across her face. "I can already imagine that Park Shinhye must be so angry right now. She must have thought, the mistake Jooeun made just now, would be enough to end her career."
"She probably also thought she could have had the opportunity to bad-mouth you even more in front of Yonghwa as well as request him to punish you."
Jooeun didn't take note of Minjung making fun of Shinhye, she just turned her head to ask Hyewon. "The contents of the scandal, have you already organized everything?"
"Of course, it is going to be amazing," Hyewon replied.
