Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 134: With Someone Warming Your Bed, Would You Still be cold?

Hyomin assumed Kangjun acted this way because he couldn't accept that he had lost. So she lifted her head proudly.

Meanwhile, Kangjun just wanted to laugh at her, because to him, she was no different from a clown. Neither of them was willing to admit defeat. In the end, Kangjun no longer wanted to waste time on Hyomin, so he looked at her and whistled. "Sorry, I need to go deliver a contract to Harper's."

Hyomin felt Kangjun was living in a fantasy. According to her friendship with Editor Choi, Harper's November front cover definitely belonged to her. The little tricks that Kangjun was trying to play, she had already gotten sick of playing them over the years! However, just as she was getting carried away with her confidence, she received a phone call from her assistant. "Hyomin unnie, Harper's wants to cancel their contract with us."

After hearing this, Hyomin's mind went blank. After a few seconds, she finally asked angrily, "What happened?"

"Editor Choi said she found a better model."

"But she shouldn't forget, we already signed a contract!" Hyomin exclaimed as she hurried over to her own office. "How can she go back on her words? Give them a call, I want to see Editor Choi."

"Editor Choi said she is willing to pay double the compensation for canceling the contract. She doesn't want Im Nayoung. The money has already been deposited into the company's account."

After hearing her assistant speak, Hyomin angrily kicked the glass beside her. After all their years of friendship, how dare she just cancel their contract like that? Did Editor Choi think she was easy to bully?

Meanwhile, she seemed to have forgotten how she had been flaunting in front of Kangjun about her unbreakable relationship with Editor Choi. It had only been 5 minutes and their relationship had already fallen apart. Worst of all, Editor Choi didn't even bother to give her a single phone call before going ahead and canceling the contract. She even paid double the compensation!

What did Kangjun do exactly?

Hyomin directly made a phone call to Editor Choi to demand an explanation. However, she was treated the way Cha Jooeun had been treated earlier. Editor Choi did not pick up any of her calls.

"Seo Kangjun!" Hyomin growled between gritted teeth. The contract had flown right out of her hands and she wanted so badly at this moment to tear Kangjun into shreds. Of course, the worst was yet to come...

Late at night.

October's weather had begun to cool down. Jooeun stood by the window in thin clothing as she finished talking to Kangjun on the phone. At this time, a pair of arms wrapped her in a warm embrace as it covered her with a night robe, protecting her from the cold.

"Hwan, I've secured Harper's front cover." In the safety of Jeonghwan's arms, she leaned back without hesitation. Her voice was casual and at ease. "But why do I feel like this is all too good to be true?"

"Your results are obvious. There is nothing to doubt." After speaking gently, Jeonghwan stretched out his long arms, wrapped them around Jooeun's neck, and pulled her in tighter.

"But I need to go do the shoot in Moscow. I'm afraid of the cold." Jooeun buried herself in Jeonghwan's embrace and clung to his arms.

"Do you want me to come with you? With someone warming your bed, would you still be cold?" Jeonghwan whispered into Jooeun's ear.

Jooeun giggled as she nodded her head. "You are like a heater. With you around, there is no way I would be cold. In fact, I will be extra warm."

Jeonghwan gently kissed Jooeun's ear, completely satisfied with her response, before leading her to their bed. "Go to bed early. Tomorrow will be the day you officially become a model of Sublime, you need plenty of energy."

"After signing with Sublime, I will gain higher grade resources. Does that mean, I will be another step closer to you?"

"Of course, you have worked hard honey."

With Jeonghwan's assurance, Jooeun was satisfied as she lay on the bed beside him.

However, even Kangjun had noticed the uncertainty in Editor Choi's eyes earlier. So there was no way, someone as observant as Jooeun, didn't know what was actually going on. Deep in her heart, she had already given up hope on securing the front cover. But Editor Choi unexpectedly changed her mind, even with the dangers of canceling a contract.

What could the reason be for this?

It must be because of pressure from Jeonghwan and assistance from GK. Or else, there would be no way Editor Choi would change her mind so easily. Jooeun already guessed it all, that's why she said she felt everything was too good to be true. But since Jeonghwan didn't want to reveal what he had done, she told herself to act dumb for once.

How can you possibly crush a heart that simply wants to love and adore you?

So even though Jeonghwan had made use of her background, she no longer cared what others thought. At least, in front of a despicable person like Hyomin, she didn't want to care so much.

Tomorrow, Yeji was to announce that she'd be officially joining Sublime. She was excited to see the amusing look on Hyomin and Bohyun's faces. After all, this was the one thing they had done so much to try and prevent from happening.

The second half of the night. The night sky was washed by heavy rain. Bohyun was already asleep. However, he was suddenly awoken by an urgent knocking on the door.

Bohyun put on his robe and opened the door. There leaning against his doorway was a drunk Hyomin. Her body wreaked of alcohol.

"Why are you here?" Bohyun scrunched up his brows.

"With the grand homecoming ceremony Yeji has organized for Kangjun tomorrow, I refuse to believe that you don't feel even a tiny bit upset." Hyomin stumbled into Bohyun's home holding a bottle of alcohol. "Did you hear? Kangjun stole my contract today, do you know what this means? It means he will exact his revenge!"

"What does this have to do with me?" Bohyun crossed his arms as he domineeringly questioned Hyomin.

"Does this not have anything to do with you? Bohyun, enough with the act. Without me, do you think you would have your position as a director? With the return of Kangjun, don't you think President Seo will trust him more? How long do you think you can hold onto your position?" Although Hyomin couldn't stand straight, her words were logical.

"Let's make things clear. We exposed his relationship with Jiwon, together! You took his position and I took his resources. Neither of us can avoid taking responsibility. We are the same!"

"What are you trying to say?"

"Let's cooperate." Hyomin said in a serious tone as she pointed to Bohyun. "As long as we work together, Kangjun will not stand a chance. President Seo hasn't even given him an artist yet and he is already planning ahead. Don't you feel the danger upon us?"

"Cooperate? Didn't you go look for Jennie Kim in private? Did you think President Seo wouldn't know?" Bohyun ridiculed. "What? Do you want to start your own agency?"

"I have faith. I can take all my resources with me. What about you?"

It seemed, she really did have this intention. And even if not, she could still threaten Yeji. After all, Kangjun currently had no chips to bet with.

"What do you want from President Seo?"

"I want her to dismiss Kangjun, or else I will leave with all the artists in my hand!"

"President Seo may not feel threatened by you."

"Who knows?" Hyomin had already decided to give it a go.

But who said Kangjun had nothing to bet with? Jooeun and Jeonghwan behind her, were his most valuable chips.

Hyomin seemed to have found herself a shortcut to death!
