Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 100: Park Shinhye's Precautions

The Seoul night sky is filled with twinkling stars. As she hadn't left her room in days, Shinhye stared eagerly at the sky. Ever since her miscarriage, her body had been weak; to hide from the media, she hadn't had the chance to go to the hospital for an examination. Of course, she also didn't have the money!

"Seokho! Wait until I recover my jobs, I will buy the property beside Han River. When that time comes, we can go back to how we once were and live a wealthy life. I have faith, all this suffering has not knocked me down. Since we've escaped death, I'm sure good things are awaiting us."

Seokho didn't speak, he just revealed a forceful smile.

"Are you still angry? I only took your money to buy clothes, do you need to give me an attitude?"

Seokho remained quiet. The money was given by Jooeun so he could take his daughter to the doctor. However, Shinhye took his money without a word and went to buy clothes and accessories.

"Shinhye, what do you think of how I've treated you over the years?" After enduring for a while, Seokho could no longer hold back. His voice trembled a little, but he hid it well.

"Good..." Shinhye responded casually. "Do you need to ask me this? I am about to go shoot a magazine. When I make the money, I'll give it back to you, why are you so petty?"

Seokho looked straight ahead; his throat is dry and burning. He finally understood the difference between Shinhye and Jooeun. While Shinhye is doing whatever she wanted, Jooeun is planning out her future. Although he knew he's also a part of Jooeun's plan, he's still willing to do things for her, because she treated him like a person – that's one of the most impressive things about Jooeun.

"That money I needed to save my daughter." After a while, Seokho finally spoke up. His voice was filled with sadness.

Seokho was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Seokho. "Well, I used it already, what can you do about it? Isn't your wife at home? If I dress all sloppy, people will look down at me..."

Seokho's face turned pale. Shinhye's narcissism is overwhelming. She had already reached this point, she's already known as a bed-climber, why couldn't she reflect on her own actions and change? Is pride really that important?

Not long after, the two finally arrived at Seoul Hotel's entrance. For the sake of her pride, she even hired a car. As usual, Shinhye acted like a big-shot; wherever she went, it's like she's a superstar making an appearance. Maybe this is Shinhye's only way of clinging onto her pride. It seemed, even at this point she still did not want to admit defeat.

The two people entered the main hall of the hotel. However, the staff behind them are pointing and whispering.

"Isn't that the bed-climbing model, Park Shinhye?"

"It's her, yes it's her. Amazing, she just had a miscarriage and she's already out looking for her next target."

"Seems like there's something new to gossip about..."

It's not that Shinhye didn't hear them, she just simply sneered and pretended like she didn't care. Afterward, the two entered the room they had agreed to meet in. However, from the moment Shinhye entered the room, she ended up waiting for 2 hours. Her face went from full of confidence to a lifeless expression.

"Seokho, do you think they're not coming?"

Seokho is silent. Deep down he knew they would definitely be making an appearance.

"Don't worry, they will definitely come."

Shinhye tried her best to endure until finally, a hotel staff pushed open the door. She focused her gaze and is surprised to see Jooeun and Minjung. Shinhye'S heart nearly jumped out of her chest as she stood up and pointed at Jooeun.

"Jooeun, you are amazing! How could you fight with me over even a men's magazine front cover?"

Jooeun is silent. Her expression is calm as usual. However, Minjung couldn't help but giggle behind her. "Does our Jooeun need to fight with you over a magazine that doesn't even exist?"

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, the boss of the magazine is Jooeun." Minjung told Shinhye in a pitying tone.

Shinhye suddenly turned her head to look at Seokho as the latter looked back at her sadly. Their eyes met. Shinhye's expression is one of disbelief. "You...betrayed me?"

Seokho scoffed as he shook his head. His voice is calm. "The word betray doesn't sound too good. Shinhye, I've already done all I can for you, yet you even took my daughter's life-saving money. I really don't owe you anything."

Shinhye looked at Seokho angrily, at the man that once promised he would never leave her; she is so angry her heart felt like it's about to burst open.

"Is it really because your daughter's sick? Isn't it because I no longer have money and power? Don't you dare use your daughter as an excuse?"

Jooeun glanced at Minjung. Minjung immediately pulled a card out from her wallet and handed it to Seokho. "There's not much money in here, but there is enough to save your daughter."

Seokho's hand trembled as he received the card. He swallowed and responded. "Thank you."

"Are you crazy? Seokho? How dare you betray me because of money? I hope your daughter dies a painful death!"

Seokho never expected Shinhye would say such horrible words. So he sneered and replied honestly. "Shinhye, truthfully, you can never win against Jooeun. You just wait and see."

After speaking, Seokho stumbled out of the hotel, leaving the trio behind. Jooeun remained calm. Even at this time, she didn't reveal any trace of emotion. Shinhye, on the other hand, is extremely cautious. The fact that Jooeun had made her stay must be because she had something bad planned. So she quickly looked around, afraid that there's a hidden camera or voice recorder.

"Jooeun, what do you want to do with me?" Shinhye is on her own, so she's cautious. After all, Jooeun also had Minjung and everything in front of her is possibly a trap.

"Don't be so anxious, Shinhye. Just act like you normally do. I just want to share my thoughts with you; I feel like we have a lot to talk about."

"What do you want to talk about? About how I stole Yonghwa from you? Jooeun, even if you are more powerful than me at the moment, you can't change the fact that I stole Yonghwa from you." Shinhye said to Jooeun; forcing herself to be brave. It's not that she's afraid of defeat. She's just afraid of being defeated by Jooeun! The thing she wanted the least, is for Jooeun to see her live such a hopeless life.

"Do you know how intimately affectionate we were the night before you and Yonghwa were to get married? He said you were shamelessly following him around, he was sick of you!" Shinhye thought she could anger Jooeun, but...

"Actually, I really should thank you..." Jooeun sat on a chair and looked at Shinhye with a smile. "Because you must not know, on the day you pretended to be injured and prevented Yonghwa from marrying me, I ended up marrying someone else."
