After Sublime's press conference was over, Kangjun organized for Jooeun to go to a meeting at Harper's. In the evening, he drove her home.

"Although you have 3 days off, you should report to me before you go anywhere or do anything. So I can be prepared." Kangjun said as he turned to look at Jooeun. "As for gossip, you've always shielded yourself well from it, so I won't say any more."

"I know what to do." Jooeun nodded with her eyes closed. "Also, send Minjung the flight number, I'll board the flight myself."

"Why?" He looked at Jooeun questioningly before he appeared to have figured something out. "Do you want to bring someone else? No way, you are working. The probability of having photos taken is too high."

Jooeun opened her eyes to look at Kangjun without a word.

"Are you guys really that inseparable?"

"Yep, inseparable." Jooeun replied with a slight smile.

"What exactly do you see in that man? If he really cares about you, how could he watch you get in trouble so many times and not help out?" Kangjun couldn't quite understand Jooeun's persistence. To him, a man that relied on a woman was ridiculous. Especially in a glamorous industry that was so complex. If he truly understood Jooeun, he wouldn't ride her coattail.

Jooeun smiled as usual while Minjung rolled her eyes in the backseat. She couldn't help but sneer inside. This is only because you don't know her husband is Lee Jeonghwan. Did you think a simple manager like yourself could see Big Boss as he pleases? If you found out, you'd be terrified!

"We agreed not to interfere with my personal life."

Kangjun wanted to continue speaking, but Jooeun's words were enough to shut him up as he nodded. "What else can I say?"

"What I'm doing, I'm clear. And the type of person I'm in love with, I am well aware." After speaking, Jooeun was helped out of the van by Minjung before she disappeared through the luxurious gates of Nine One Hannam.

Although Jooeun explained things clearly, Kangjun still felt a man that depended on a woman was bad news. However, Sublime was now in a mess. So his main priority was to return to the office first to help Yeji clean things up.

"Jooeun, are you really not planning to tell Manager Seo about Big Boss?" Minjung asked with an expectant smile as she followed closely behind. "I really want to tell him."

Jooeun opened the door to the villa and walked in. She smiled warmly as she breathed in the aromatic fragrance of dinner. "I don't completely trust him yet."

Minjung also smelt the fragrance. Thinking of Big Boss' cooking, she began to salivate. "I want to eat too."

"Then let's eat together." Jooeun didn't mind at all.

Although Minjung didn't want to disturb the couple from having a moment to themselves, she couldn't resist the temptation of the alluring fragrance.

The trio sat at the dinner table. But at this moment, Minjung noticed Jooeun ate something completely different. Minjung was surprised before she understood. "When the two of you have dinner, do you prepare two separate meals?"

"What did you think?" Jooeun smiled. "Did you think I could eat the same thing as you guys? Don't I want to maintain my figure?"

"Wow! Big Boss sure is great." Minjung sucked up to Jeonghwan by flattering him. Meanwhile, Jeonghwan continued to look at his documents with a serious expression.

Jooeun looked at Jeonghwan as she instinctively removed the documents from his hands. It goes without saying, she was worried reading and eating would be bad for digestion. Jeonghwan turned his head to look at her. He gently patted her head without insisting.

Minjung observed their actions and gently put down her bowl and chopsticks. She then quietly got up to leave. "I think it's time for me to go."

"Eh? You're not going to finish eating?"

"No, I'll never eat here again." Minjung waved as she grabbed her handbag from the sofa and left Nine One Hannam. She felt like a commoner that had intruded into the palace of a noble king and queen. She was completely out of place.

After dinner, Jooeun and Jeonghwan leaned against each other as they enjoyed a film together. Disregarding their celebrity aura, the couple was just like any ordinary husband and wife. They were watching a documentary about caring for stray dogs. Jooeun was so touched she began to cry on Jeonghwan's shoulder, while he helplessly handed her tissues.

"Is it really that touching?"

Jooeun nodded. However, under the flashes of blue light coming from the screen, she stole a look at the side of Jeonghwan's perfectly sculpted face. It wasn't because the film was so touching, it was because of the man watching with her. The world's most attractive man was almighty at work. At the same time, he was a woman's most solid backing at home. No matter how many riches one had, nothing compared to waking up to find a glass of warm water beside the bed.

"Hwan, these 3 days, will you be working hard to clear up your schedule for Moscow?" Jooeun asked gently. "Actually, by myself, I can..."

"No, you can't." Jeonghwan rebutted. "Moscow is a relatively unfriendly place, I don't want you to suffer."

Jooeun did not say anything else. She simply pecked him on the chin. Thinking about Kangjun's disdain towards Jeonghwan, the smile on Jooeun's face grew bigger.

Wait till you see him, you'll know whether he's a man that depends on his woman.

After a whole day of defeat, Hyomin had nowhere to turn to. Now, all she wanted to do was grasp onto her opportunity to put Jennie to good use. However, she seemed to have forgotten, Jennie had never been one of her artists. Even though Jennie was currently frozen by YG, she was in no way related to her.

Hyomin frantically went to look for her. She searched in places Jennie normally frequented. However, she didn't pick up her phone. It was not until late in the night that her number finally connected.

"Hello? Jennie?"

"I'm at Octagon in Gangnam, come and join us!" Jennie responded before hanging up.

Hyomin had a bad feeling, but she simply thought Jennie was letting off some steam by going out and singing a few songs at the bar. However, after rushing over to the bar, she found the girl wearing a hat and doing a dirty dance. Her exaggerated movements were completely inappropriate.

Hyomin ran straight over and grabbed Jennie's wrist. But the latter was not in a state of awareness. She pulled her hand from Hyomin and yelled, "Who are you?"

Looking at Jennie's confused expression, the word 'drugs' popped up in Hyomin's mind. But she's only 16-years-old!

"Come with me!"

"I don't want to go!" Jennie shoved her away before grabbing a bottle and whacking it on her head. "What's wrong with you? I don't even know you. Why are you holding onto me?"

After hearing a loud bang, everyone around them stopped dancing and looked over. Noticing Hyomin unconscious on the floor, Jennie pulled down her hat and bolted out of the bar in fright. Because of the dim lighting, no one got a good look at Hyomin's face. They just surrounded her and asked in a concerned tone. "Are you ok?"

Hyomin came to her senses and rubbed her head. At this time, someone asked. "The person that just hit you, was that Cha Jooeun? It looked like her."
