Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 86: Park Shinhye is Pregnant

Hearing the host announce her name, Jooeun stood up out of her seat. Holding the recipient list in her hand, she approached the stage elegantly as everyone watched. She deliberately avoided Jang Geunseuk as they made their way behind the microphone and stood in front of the screen.

Below the stage, there's an ocean of stars; South Korea's hottest models had all gathered. As she had the opportunity to stand in such a high position, Jooeun realized, as a model, she still had a long way to go.

Close by, Shinhye's gaze is sharp and proud, containing a sense of disdain and ridicule. She had been looking forward to this day for too long. She's going to take the trophy from Jooeun's hands; the hands of a woman who always seemed to fight over everything with her. Once she had this trophy in her hands, it would signify the start of her road to glory.

"Cha Jooeun-ssi has been very famous in both Europe and the US lately because of the Oriental Trend. She is also a model with an extremely promising future, I am truly impressed with your professionalism." Jang Geunseuk said before he started presenting the award. "I hope you can continue to work hard."

"Thank you, Mr. Jang." Jooeun replied in a calm and polite tone; she had her guard up around Jang Geunseuk.

"You are a miracle. Believe me, luck is on your side." Jang Geunseuk said, hiding a deeper meaning as he gestured for her to announce the recipient list. By allowing her to make the announcement, he is satisfying Shinhye's request as well as displaying his respect towards Jooeun.

Jooeun smiled as she opened the envelope in her hands. She pulled out the recipient list and announced. "The 7th Annual Model Awards Top Ten Model recipients are. . ."

One after another, model's photos and their names appeared on the big screen showing off some of their best works. Park Shinhye's the last one. From the looks of it, it's obvious she had been forcefully squeezed in. She had crawled her way up and amongst her works on display was the Oriental Trend's magazine cover.

Below the stage, everyone giggled. At the sight of the cover, she is once again a joke as everyone is reminded of how she had received no mentions. Jooeun looked so alive, while she became a human backdrop.

Under the spotlight, the Top Ten Models made their way on stage in the order their names were announced. Meanwhile, ten beautiful female assistants walked out with the ten trophies and flowers. Jooeun followed the order and presented the trophies one at a time, from left to right. Park Shinhye is last in line and her heart felt like it's about to stop.

She's about to succeed! She's about to succeed really soon!

Seeing Jooeun stepping closer and closer and hearing the applause of the audience, Shinhye felt a little nauseous as her mind became blank. An extreme sense of joy swept over her like a hurricane knocking over everything in its path.

Finally, Jooeun stood before Shinhye. After smiling at her gently, she stretched out her hand, "Congratulations!"

Afterward, Jooeun handed her a bunch of flowers before presenting the trophy to her. However, just as Shinhye stretched out her hand and got a touch of the trophy, a young man urgently ran onto the stage and whispered something into Jooeun's ear. Jooeun immediately pulled the trophy away from Shinhye. Seeing this scene unfold, the audiences are stunned.

"What happened? Why isn't she presenting the award? Why did Cha Jooeun take back the award? Isn't Park Shinhye supposed to receive the award?"

"Could it be that Cha Jooeun is jealous of Park Shinhye for both receiving an award and signing on with a new company?"

"She can't be that stupid right?"

Shinhye looked at the uproar happening below the stage before looking at Jooeun with a cold and frustrated expression. "Jooeun, what is the meaning of this?"

"Do you really not understand what this means? This award will not be presented to you." Jooeun smirked as she replied softly in a definitive manner.

Will not be presented. Will not be presented to you.

Everyone watched on, confused as to what is happening. Most people were just watching the two put on a show.

What exactly is happening?

While everyone questioned the situation and Shinhye looked on in frustration, the man that had whispered something to Jooeun, once again approached the stage holding some documents. Rather than presenting the information first, he turned to the audience and announced, "Park Shinhye is disqualified from receiving the award!"

Shinhye was stunned, what's all this? The trophy was already in her hands, why is she disqualified? Subconsciously, Shinhye focused her hatred onto Jooeun as she accused in a loud voice. "Jooeun, is it you? Did you do something behind the scenes? What kind of a rubbish award is this? How can you just disqualify me like that? Where are the judges?"

Shinhye released her temper on stage in front of everyone because she couldn't believe the award she had wanted for so long; the award that she had given up so much for; the award she almost had in her hands, is gone, just like that. She isn't willing to accept it, she couldn't believe it! She reached out her hand and shook Jooeun's arm. "Jooeun, did you do this to me? Was it you?"

Jooeun let her shake her without retaliation; her arm is starting to get bruised, yet she didn't fight back. Shinhye eventually tripped on her own dress and fell to the ground, but no one came to her aid as she's too emotional. "What is this Annual Model Awards, it has no authority at all. How can they just disqualify someone like this? I want to sue you, I want you to apologize to me!"

Apologize? Most of the people below the stage looked at her in amusement; she's way too arrogant.

"I will sue you!" Shinhye's sharp voice echoed through the hall.

"Before Miss Park sues us, I would like to make an announcement on behalf of the Annual Model Awards. On the screen behind me are the rules for the awards selection: pregnant models are not allowed to compete. However, I would like everyone to look at the pregnancy report in my hand. It is clearly stated here that Miss Park has been pregnant since July. Which means, she applied for consideration even though she knew she was pregnant; this is what you call lying! So after discussions with the organizing committee, we have decided to disqualify Miss Park Shinhye and will be strictly dealing with this shocking behavior." The man announced loudly. "She will become the Annual Model Awards' first blacklisted model. After all this, we will release an official statement. In other words, Miss Park Shinhye should no longer dream of being a model. This lousy artist has not upheld her responsibility to the public."

Just a few short words are like a rain of grenades; there's no way of avoiding its power. Everyone quickly realized what had happened. Park Shinhye is pregnant!

Stealing another person's man and being pregnant before marriage is bad enough, yet she even tried to lie her way into receiving an award!
