Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 183: What an Idiot

He embraced her tightly. He didn't need to express anything, nor did he need to provide any comforting words. Just a simple tight embrace was better than any words he could say.

A moment later, with Jooeun still in his embrace, he suddenly sat up. Just as he was about to step off the bed, he felt her pull him back. So he looked at her curiously. Jooeun was like a naughty little girl as she clung to his chest.

Jeonghwan turned on the bedside lamp and gently stroked her back. The corners of his lips carried a slight smile. "Aren't you going to have a shower?"

"I just want you to hug me like this." Jooeun buried her head into Jeonghwan's chest with a cute expression. "I don't want to separate from you."

"Didn't you tell me not to go London with you?"

I just don't want you to be too tired. Nor do I want myself to be too tired.

In actual fact, the couple already understood the situation. But how could this man that had slowly turned spoiling his wife into a career allow Jooeun to go to London all on her own? Jeonghwan did not tell her his plans. He simply waited to give his cute little wife another surprise.

That night, the couple did not sleep. They remained in each other's embrace as they chatted the night away. In a blink of an eye, it was already time for Kangjun and Minjung to pick up Jooeun and take her to the airport. However, up until the point she was to leave, Jooeun still clung to Jeonghwan, not willing to let go. "Wait for me..."

Jeonghwan reached out his hand and gently stroked Jooeun's hair. The wedding ring on his finger sparkled under the morning sun.

Upon arriving at the airport, Minjung suddenly realized she had forgotten her passport. But at this moment in time, she expected her grandfather to be out on his morning stroll, and there was no way she could go back and forth between home and the airport. There wasn't enough time.

Jooeun thought about her old home and remembered it wasn't far from GK. So she told Minjung to give Taejoo a phone call. She knew Minjung had the habit of hiding a spare set of keys.

Minjung hesitated for a moment, but she quickly concluded that work was more important, so she reluctantly gave Taejoo a phone call. "Taejoo."

"What is it?"

"Uh...well, I forgot my passport. Do you think you could drop by my home for a bit? There is a spare key hidden inside the mailbox and my passport should be sitting on top of my bed."

Taejoo was actually quite busy. Jeonghwan still had a lot of documents waiting for him to deliver. If it was someone else, he would have shrugged them off, but since it was Minjung. No matter how inconvenient it was, he felt he couldn't refuse.

"You wait there." Taejoo was well aware of their boarding time, so he immediately drove over to Minjung's home and quickly found the spare key. The furnishings inside Minjung's home was pretty much the same as when Jooeun left. This was not the first time Taejoo had stepped foot inside, but without Minjung around, he felt an unusual nervousness.

As he pushed open the door to Minjung's bedroom, he found the passport was indeed sitting on the bed. But beside it, lay a pile of bras and underwear. Minjung was in such a rush, she did not have time to tidy up.

Taejoo blushed as he picked up the passport and hurried out. In his heart, he felt it would only be right for him to look at a woman's undergarments if she was his future wife. However, because he was so flustered, he ran into a chair. It was so painful, he let out a cry.

Even when he arrived at the airport, he was still limping. But he pretended nothing had happened.

"I'm so sorry I made you run around like this."

"It's OK." Taejoo held onto the passport and leaned against his car coolly. "Have a safe trip."

Minjung was in such a rush she did not take notice of Taejoo's expression as she hurried into the airport. Only after Minjung was out of sight did he finally lift up his trousers to have a look. A chunk of skin from his left knee had been scraped off.

What an idiot!

Even worse, because the airport departure lounge was on the second level, Jooeun and Kangjun witnessed the entire scene.

"It seems he hit himself pretty badly." Kangjun teased as he sipped his coffee.

"When two blockheads come together, there's bound to be a good show." Jooeun laughed. Wasn't this exactly how love was like? It turned a person into an idiot and made them do stupid things for the other person, the thought of it was so sweet.

As Jooeun was afraid to run into fans, she didn't walk around casually. But what surprised her the most was, she actually ran into a familiar tall and skinny man. This man was the one that spotted Jeonghwan and her at the airport a while ago. The reporter from Gossip Studio!

Jooeun had a good memory, especially when it came to people with bad intentions. She quickly remembered the look in the man's eyes and analyzed his motive.

As last time, the man was polite as he handed her a business card. "Miss Cha, do you still remember me?"

"You're the reporter from Gossip Studio." Jooeun replied.

She accurately named his company without even looking at the business card. The man was slightly surprised. But it was only for a moment before a smile once again appeared on his face. "I never expected to see you here. You must be headed for the fashion show in London, I presume?"

Jooeun nodded politely.

"The boyfriend from last time didn't accompany you?" After the man looked around and didn't see anyone suspicious, he let Jooeun off the hook. "I guess I'll see you in London."

"What was all that about?" Kangjun quickly asked. "What does he mean by 'the boyfriend from last time?"

"Last time when GK got into trouble, I went overseas with Jeonghwan and was discovered stepping out of his car. But he had no idea, the man was actually Jeonghwan." Jooeun explained. "I'm afraid the coming week in London won't be very fun. There are going to be eyes following me everywhere."

"What are you afraid of? President Lee didn't come along this time." Kangjun comforted. Compared to the reporter, he was more afraid that Yeji would have something up her sleeves.

Of course, Jooeun never imagined, this small studio would end up clinging onto her for days to come.

"Is Jooeun already on her way to London?" Inside Sublime's CEO office, Yeji was questioning Bohyun as he paced back and forth.

"She should be on the plane right now." Bohyun replied.

"You've already made arrangements in London?"

"This time, I've hired some famous paparazzi from here. If Cha Jooeun does anything suspicious at all, she won't be able to avoid their cameras." Bohyun twirled his fingers as his expression remained calm with a trace of arrogance. Everyone knew he was the very meaning of 'pretentious'.

"Give them everything they need until they discover what we want!" Yeji yelled impulsively before instructing Bohyun. "We need to find a few more newcomers to train. I don't feel confident with just Shin Suhyun."

After a 10-hour flight, Jooeun and her crew finally arrived around midday in London. Before boarding her car, she took a quick glance at the reporter from Gossip Studio. This man was awfully strange. He wasn't exactly clingy, but he emanated a sense of danger. Jooeun reminded herself to be wary of him as she threw his business card into the bin.

10 minutes after Jooeun disembarked her flight, she received a phone call from Jeonghwan. After reporting her safety to her husband she settled into the hotel organized by her agency.

"YSL's show will be held in two days' time. We will need to go for a quick interview. Even though Sublime recommended you, it has not been confirmed."

"You organize it then."

"Jooeun, what are your thoughts regarding Yeji's 'forgiving act' of arranging this job for you?" This was something Kangjun had wanted to know for a long time.
