Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 155: He Doesn't Answer to Just Anyone

"But director, how are we to suddenly find an artist that matches Cha Jooeun? Even if there is such an artist, their schedule may not be free. How about we just wait for a little? I'll give Nam Joohyuk a call." the Damiani representative tried his best to negotiate with Director Shin. "You know as well as we do that Nam Joohyuk's father is not one we should offend." The representative felt a little uneasy.

Director Shin contemplated for a moment before shoving his hands in his pockets and nodding his head. "In that case, quickly call him."

The man gave a relieved smile as he immediately turned around and pulled out his phone to call Nam Joohyuk. However, the response he got was Nam Joohyuk was not feeling well and couldn't come to the shoot.

"As you know, Joohyuk has a movie that just wrapped up. So he is a little tired. His stomach hasn't been feeling well, so he's been staying in the hospital for the past few days. You will need to wait a couple more days."

"How about you just tell me the truth. What is Nam Joohyuk unhappy about?" the representative covered his phone secretly and asked. "We can fix it."

"Well, it's nothing major. But you see, Joohyuk wasn't feeling well, to begin with, yet two days ago he was stood up by Cha Jooeun. This ruined his mood and worsened his condition."

The representative immediately caught on. Nam Joohyuk was targeting Cha Jooeun, merely because she didn't have dinner with him.

"That..."

"Joohyuk doesn't intend on making things difficult for you. So how about this. I'll go talk to him and you go convince Cha Jooeun to bow down to him."

Bow down... Does he want to make her bow down? Make her drink with him? Make her smile at him? And make her give a public apology?

The man gave a slight smile and didn't say anything else. He had never expected Nam Joohyuk to suddenly act so arrogantly. How could he hold a grudge against Cha Jooeun over something like this? She simply didn't have dinner with him!

After their brief conversation, the manager hung up. At this time, Damiani's representative turned to Director Shin and sighed. "Director, please wait a bit."

"No need. Replace Nam Joohyuk." Director Shin said straightforwardly. "I already overheard your conversation. That Nam Joohyuk has always been a player. The fact that Cha Jooeun refused to have dinner with him, shows what type of person she is. She doesn't want to create hype with him. So replace him. In my dictionary, there is no such thing as a second-generation heir. If he thinks he's so great, he should get his father to come to see me. He even wants a woman to apologize to him, does he not feel any shame?"

The representative tossed up between Director Shin and Nam Joohyuk. In the end, he decided to follow Director Shin's suggestion to replace Joohyuk. However, finding a suitable person would be a bit of a headache. Just as the representative was feeling restless and uneasy, Kangjun approached the two of them and asked. "Nam Joohyuk hasn't arrived?"

"I...I'm afraid he won't be coming. By the way, does Mr. Seo know of a male model who is well-suited to Cha Jooeun's appearance and height? The biggest issue is that she is too tall. For the photo to be aesthetically pleasing, we need a man that is roughly 190cm tall."

Kangjun looked down and thought for a bit before smiling. "I do indeed know of one."

The representative was ecstatic as he swiftly asked. "Will you be able to contact him? How much does he charge?"

"He and Jooeun are personally acquainted, you don't need to worry about money. He does not need it. However, there is one request."

"Do tell."

"You can't reveal his identity. In other words, you can't show his face. Also during filming, the set has to be cleared of unnecessary people." Kangjun replied.

The representative was slightly dumbfounded as he glanced at the director.

The director immediately assumed it was someone from outside the industry, that's why he didn't want to be exposed, so he nodded his head. "No worries, I will only show his back."

"How's his appearance?"

"No need to worry. This person, whether it's his appearance, height, or presence, it all suits Cha Jooeun perfectly."

"Someone outside of the industry? With such good qualities, why doesn't he make a break in entertainment?" Director Shin's interest was sparked as he asked.

"He doesn't answer to just anyone." Kangjun winked at the two before clapping his hands together. "Then it's settled, I'll ask Jooeun to do a test run first."

"Who could this big-shot be?" Director Shin couldn't help but whisper under his breath. "According to Cha Jooeun's current status, she couldn't possibly find a bigger star than Nam Joohyuk."

"I am also curious." the representative laughed.

Not long after, the first set was ready. The shoot was to be a proposal on the beach and the idea was for Jooeun to be standing under the sun as a man approaches her from behind, grabs her right hand, and forces a ring upon her finger. There was only one line. "If you don't marry me now, you will be too old."

5 minutes later, Jooeun walked out of the change room dressed in a long light blue patterned chiffon dress. Her long black hair blew softly in the wind and her makeup was delicately applied. Her whole body carried a peaceful disposition.

Damiani was extremely satisfied with Jooeun's look. After all, whenever she got changed her disposition would automatically transform. Even though she normally appeared cold, the Jooeun after getting changed, was quiet with a slight smile, he suddenly transformed into a woman in love glowing with happiness.

"Jooeun-ssi, let's do a quick run-through of the script." the director said to Jooeun.

Jooeun originally wanted to say no, but thinking about the man that was about to appear, she felt a little nervous. She had never felt this way before.

Even she could get nervous!

So she did not turn down the director's suggestion. She entered the set, practiced her walk, lowered her head, and expressed emotions. Although the director was watching through the monitor, he was pleasantly surprised.

This model's acting wasn't perfect from a professional standpoint but was still extremely natural and flawless.

The anticipation when waiting for a lover, the anxiety as time passed, and the disappointment as one realized they had been stood up, Jooeun expressed it all clearly with her eyes. Most importantly, she was only a model! Compared to some of the popular up-and-coming actors and actresses, she was heaps better.

"Cut!" the director called out before turning to the representative from Damiani. "When will the male lead arrive?"

"I heard he's currently getting changed."

"Let's see who Cha Jooeun managed to invite. If it's not someone of influence, we'll just let her do the shoot alone."

"Sure, we'll do everything as per your instructions." Damiani's representative responded. "I will also keep an eye out for other suitable male models."

While the two were chatting, Kangjun suddenly approached and asked for all unnecessary staff to leave the set.

Damiani's representative immediately did as asked. After they cleared out the majority of the set, all that was left was a few important people and Jooeun. They were all waiting to see what god-like person Jooeun had invited.

Not long after, stable footsteps resounded from the distance. The few people on set quickly turned their heads toward the sound to find a man with an imposing manner striding towards them.
