Possibly because the couple understood each other, Jeonghwan who is staring at the screen immediately stood up, put on his suit jacket, and instructed Taejoo whilst walking. "Help me push back all the meetings I have tonight."

"Yes, President." Taejoo smiled. It seemed Jeonghwan had become a lot more impulsive lately. Seeing this person who once had so much self-control, becomes impulsive, it's hard not to feel a sense of admiration.

Whilst driving his black Rolls Royce, Jeonghwan listened to Jooeun's acceptance speech as he approached the location of the awards ceremony. The longing he saw in Jooeun's eyes, he understood completely. This isn't an extremely important award, but it's the first award Jooeun received since her comeback. He wanted to be by her side at this moment to acknowledge her hard work.

Atop the stage, Jooeun is dazzling. However, the words she most wanted to say couldn't be said. She had no way of thanking the most important person in her life; this is her biggest regret!

"Actually, I have a lot I want to say. But all these words can be concluded with one simple sentence: Thank you everyone, I will become even better!"

Below the stage, an eruption of applause echoed through the hall. Everyone felt, out of all the awards presented tonight, this is the award they felt the most deserving; Jooeun had truly showcased her responsibilities of being a model and set a good example. It turned out, this was the true climax of the awards ceremony.

It's because of Jooeun!

Finally, the ceremony approached its end. Jooeun, who had received the Special Contribution Award, did not leave early, she remained seated until the very end. During this time, Geunseuk didn't give up on trying to have his way with Jooeun. Especially when he saw Jooeun receiving her award on stage, her beauty is beyond that of an average model. But Geunseuk knew, the most important thing at hand, is to first go to the hospital. He had to find Shinhye and make sure their relationship wouldn't be exposed.

The Seoul night sky had never been as bright as it is today; sparkling with superstars. Jooeun exited the TV station and spotted Minjung waiting quietly for her in front of the car. She smiled and quickly ran up to give her a hug.

"Jooeun, congratulations. I'm really happy for you."

"You have worked hard too, Unnie." Jooeun thanked her sincerely. After all, Minjung had helped a lot in the process of taking down Shinhye.

"Let's stop talking. Big Boss has been waiting for you for a long time. I'll take the trophy home. Big Boss should take you for a bit of a drive." Minjung released Jooeun from her embrace and gave a cheeky wink.

Jooeun lowered her head slightly and spotted the man sitting inside the car; her heart began to race. With the help of Minjung, Jooeun boarded the car.

First, the couple drove Minjung home, before Jeonghwan sped out onto the streets of Seoul with Jooeun. Her heart is welling up with emotions as she leaned her head on Jeonghwan's shoulder and held tightly onto his right hand.

"Aren't you going to ask where I'm taking you?"

"Anywhere is just as good." Jooeun stared at the road in front of her. "I'm just curious. Jeonghwan, how can you understand me more than I understand myself? How did you know the person I want to see the most is you?"

"Because our hearts are connected."

Jooeun smiled as she tightened her grasp on Jeonghwan's hand. "Find a place with no people and stop the car."

"Huh?"

"I really want to kiss you." Jooeun said as she admired Jeonghwan's face side-on; her eyes sparkled like diamonds.

Jeonghwan's lips curved up to an attractive angle as he smiled at her. "We've already arrived."

Jooeun glanced in front of her. That's when she realized the car had stopped on a hilltop with the view of half of Seoul below them sparkling like gems.

"Don't worry, no one can come here except for us."

Jooeun relaxed as she turned her body sideways, hooked her arm around Jeonghwan's neck, and pulled him in for a kiss. She slowly savored the softness of his lips. Jeonghwan supported the back of her head as he applied added force to the kiss; the couple became more passionate until they both felt like they had lost their breath.

"Honey, now that you have received an award, how would you like me to reward you?"

Jooeun kissed Jeonghwan's ear and gently nibbled the mole on his earlobe. After a little while, she finally responded in a soft voice. "I don't want anything else but you."

Jeonghwan laughed gently. "Are you sure you want to do it here and not on our soft bed at home?"

"I don't need anything else, all I need is you."

Hearing these words, Jeonghwan immediately lowered his seat, carried Jooeun over to his lap, and wound up the windows. His big gentle palms carefully undid the zipper on Jooeun's back. His every touch sent tingles down her spine as she let out soft moans of pleasure.

Jooeun is still the same Jooeun, but tonight there's something different. Tonight she's a lot more direct and provocative; this drove Jeonghwan crazy as he lost control, trying to obtain as much as he could from her body.

"Honey, you have really turned bad."

"I told you from the start, I'm not a good person." Jooeun responded in a husky voice. "There's so much I want to do with you and say to you, however, when I see you, I find I am speechless because I know, you already understand everything."

Jeonghwan brushed his hand across Jooeun's bare back as he remained stuck to her body before gently smiling. "You don't need to say anymore, let me take you home. This posture isn't exactly the most comfortable for you."

"OK!" Jooeun said as she gave Jeonghwan one more kiss on the neck.

Seoul Hospital.

It had been 3 hours since Shinhye had been sent into the operating theatre. JYP had sent people to hold back the media while Shinhye's assistant stood by her bedside; Shinhye had just passed the critical stage and her face is weak.

"Water! Water!"

Hearing her cries, her assistant immediately handed her a cup of water. "Be careful."

Shinhye's mind is finally a little clearer as she stared blankly at the hospital ceiling. "Seokho, has the awards ceremony ended?"

"Yes, it ended a while ago. Don't think too much, have a good rest." Her assistant tried to persuade her caringly.

"Jooeun." Shinhye smiled as tears rolled down her face. "Did Jooeun win?"

"Shinhye, don't be like this. I'll go look for President Jung."

"No need. Do you think he would still come to see me?" Shinhye held onto her assistant's arm. "He and that disgusting Mr. Jang are both the same. They are both just a game."

"That Jooeun is a shameless sl*t. I don't know what methods she used to receive a Special Contribution Award."

As soon as Shinhye heard this, she couldn't believe Jooeun had received an award. Her mind immediately awoke. "Award? Ha Ha Ha, award?"

"Since the world is so heartless, then I can't be blamed. I won't allow myself to be the only person that is miserable." After speaking, Shinhye pointed to her phone and spoke. "Seokho, inside my phone is a photo. It is a photo of an agreement between Jung Yonghwa and Jang Geunseuk. Help me expose it and point out that Cha Jooeun only received her award because Jang Geunseuk bribed the judges for her."

"Since I'm destroyed, then let's go down together."
