Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 50: The Eve of the Magazine Release

Jooeun kissed Jeonghwan's ear as her body heated up like fire; her eyes were in a trance. She leaned in and whispered, "I want you."

Jeonghwan's eyes turned red as he got up for a moment to grab a condom from the drawers. He thoughtfully shielded himself to protect Jooeun. He knew her career is currently on the rise and couldn't afford to have a child. Why is there such an item in their bedroom, though? Jooeun wondered.

Jeonghwan returned to Jooeun's body and stared into her eyes. Noticing a coldness in her gaze, he realized she may have had a misunderstanding as he explained. "We are husband and wife, I am always prepared. It's not something leftover from someone else. I've been waiting for you all along."

"I haven't done it with anyone else. I've only gone as far as the halfway experience we had on our wedding night."

Upon hearing this, Jooeun's eyes twinkled as she kissed Jeonghwan between the hollows of his throat. "Sorry."

"It will still hurt a bit." Jeonghwan tried his best to hold back as he gently reminded her.

Too afraid to look down at the place that made her shy, Jooeun simply nodded her head in certainty. "It's alright. I've experienced the pain once before."

Jeonghwan wrapped his arms around her shoulder, making sure to pay attention to her feelings. While kissing her cheek, he slowly made her his. He patiently moved inch by inch, until he felt himself inside her.

In this world, nothing was more beautiful than sharing an intimate moment like this, where two souls became one. Jeonghwan looked at Jooeun and watched as the pain dissipated before he slowly started moving. He wanted to give her the best first time â he wanted her to remember this for the rest of her life. After this, they would truly belong to each other.

Outside the window, the moon is quietly hanging above the treetops. While inside, an activity that made one's face blush and heart race had just finished. After experiencing the full force of Jeonghwan's energy, Jooeun was so tired she couldn't open her eyes. Her body felt weak and her mind was half awake. At this moment, she felt someone wiping down her sticky body before helping her change into a tidy set of pajamas. She then felt a gentle kiss on her forehead ushering her to sleep. All this, she did not regret at all, because she knew, it was all worth it. Deep in their sleep, the married couple clasped onto each other's hand tightly. Jeonghwan embraced Jooeun as he gently kissed her on the forehead. "Hello, Mrs. Cha."

The next morning, Jooeun awoke in Jeonghwan's arms. Looking at the man that now belonged to her, a satisfied smile appeared across her face. From now on, no matter how dirty and filthy the entertainment industry was, she had someone to rely on. Her heart was filled with faith.</p>

Unfortunately, this happy moment didn't last for 3 days as Jeonghwan had hoped. Because early in the morning Hyewon started knocking on the door. Mina from Vanity Fair had invited everyone from CN to lunch and of course, Jooeun had to attend.

Vanity Fair's magazine is currently in full swing and Joouen's dedication to her job wouldn't allow her to be called arrogant the day before the magazine's release. She just never thought, Yonghwa and Shinhye had planned another attack on her at this event. In front of everyone at lunch, Yonghwa and Shinhye announced, they were getting engaged!

Yonghwa is tall and handsome, while Shinhye is delicate and lovely. Their hands were held tightly together as they stood side-by-side, looking like the perfect match. Apart from people from CN, there were also a few higher-ups from Vanity Fair in the room. They weren't aware of the relationship between Jooeun and the two, so they stood up and clapped their hands to congratulate the couple. Only Jooeun, Hyewon and Minjung stayed still.

"Jooeun, aren't you going to congratulate them?" Ryeowon held up her glass as she forced Jooeun. She wanted to revel in the sight of Jooeun being heartbroken. No matter how unaffected she looked on the outside, inside she must be in torment, in pain, dripping in blood.

"Oh yeh, that's right! With your temper, there's no way you can congratulate others. Even if you were once Yonghwa's fiancee, that is now in the past. Since you are in this industry, you should be prepared to have things snatched from you at all times. You should be more open-minded."

"When will they be officially engaged?" Jooeun asked calmly.

"After the huge sales of Vanity Fair's Magazine." Ryeowon said confidently. With the aid of Ryeowon's PR, Shinhye still had articles written about her back in South Korea. On top of that, the discussions amongst fans had made Vanity Fair famous even before its release.

Although the news about Shinhye being a mistress couldn't be cleared, because of her popularity, a few companies had already contacted CN for collaboration. She had high hopes for the Top Ten Model Awards.

So, Ryeowon is confident, Vanity Fair would have a huge number of sales.

"Then I have to say congratulations in advance." Jooeun maintained her smile as she also raised her glass at the couple across from her. However, as these words landed on Shinhye's ears, they somehow didn't sound sincere.

"Jooeun, stop acting. I know you don't actually want to see Yonghwa and I get engaged. You hate me so much."

"Don't tell me I'm supposed to like you?" Jooeun laughed questioningly.

Mina watched blankly as they argued. From the translator, she found out about their relationship as she looked at them in surprise. No wonder they were against Jooeun from the start. She was accustomed to the bias nature of the industry; it was normal to see people take advantage of situations to promote themselves as well as people humiliating others right in front of their face. But wasn't CN aware of Shinhye's level? Mina looked deep and meaningfully at Jooeun before retreating from CN's internal argument.

After lunch, Vanity Fair's staff all left, leaving the few of them behind. Shinhye took advantage of the situation to point at Jooeun and laugh. "Did you think, by obtaining a semi-independent contract from CN, you would really be able to find a way out? Let me tell you, without CN, you are nothing. CN can support you, at the same time, they can also step all over you."

"You've wasted so much energy to create all these schemes. In the end, you've only been helping me prepare for my wedding. Both Yonghwa and the title of international supermodel are mine. Whereas, you can only return to your position as an outdated model with no way to make a comeback!"

"Yes, you're right, you're much more amazing than me. After Vanity Fair's magazine is released, your popularity will rise dramatically, whereas I'll be left with nothing." Jooeun agreed with Shinhye.

Shinhye never expected Jooeun to admit defeat. Seeing Jooeun give up, she felt a sense of satisfaction she had never experienced before.

"Since you are aware of your status, after we return home, as long as you stay within your boundaries, Yonghwa will still accept jobs for you. But if you still have the intention to rise above me, then don't blame us for being ruthless!"

"That's enough babe, let's sit down and talk." Yonghwa was affectionate towards Shinhye as he slightly lifted his gaze to Jooeun. "Jooeun, you heard what she said?"
