Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version) Part II

Chapter 229: The Couple Was to Appear at the Airport Together!

Im Yoona's scandals spread rapidly. Even with GK's powerful attempt at suppressing the issue, they couldn't beat the exposure rate of 3+ scandals a day. The one-time international supermodel was once in an unreachable position, but because of the scandals, her status plummeted and she suffered the ridicule and insults of netizens. She even directly affected GK.

Changwook's PR method was to attract sympathy for Im Yoona. After all, she was originally the victim. However, she wasn't in a positive mental state. If he wanted her to step out courageously, it wasn't going to be an easy task. A body was easy to teach, but teaching a heart was harder than ascending to heaven.

Changwook had never been betrayed before, so he couldn't possibly relate to the bone-penetrating pain of being humiliated. However, Jooeun understood that pain well. So she spoke to Changwook on the phone before he went to Yoona's apartment that night.

Yoona's assistant tidied her messy home as Changwook walked around and inspected the place. Traces of her man remained present in the home. However, he had pierced a million holes into the woman he was living with.

"If you want to drink something, just take it from the fridge. I have no energy to move." Yoona said in a dispirited tone as she sat on the carpet.

Changwook scanned his eyes over Yoona and discovered her clothes were untidy, her hair was a mess, her face was pale and her eyes were lifeless.

"Jooeun asked me to come over. She said you needed someone to keep you company." After saying these words, Changwook felt a bit awkward, so he continued. "She's quite nosy, isn't she? She can't even handle her own matters."

"I think she misunderstood. She probably thought I treated her as a friend." Yoona laughed bitterly.

"Didn't you treat her as a friend?" Changwook turned around and sat down on the sofa. He rested his elbows on the arms of the sofa and turned to look at Yoona. "I spent a day with Jooeun. It was during the fight for resources with SM. Did you know? On the runway, she's so much better than Irene Kim. She was born to be a model."

"However, during the selection process, she was faced with various obstacles. While waiting for the results, if it had been you, you would have turned and left Germany because of your pride. Even I was prepared to suggest she give up. Instead, she asked me for the client's phone number. She personally told them, if she couldn't be their spokesperson she would feel great regret. I'm not sure how moved they were by these words, but at least if it was me, I would definitely give her a chance."

Yoona listened quietly as Changwook recalled everything that happened on the runway and everything that happened to Jooeun. Admittedly, in this short 1-2 minute period, she had completely forgotten about her pain. Her mind was occupied with imagining how things would have been like if she was the one that went to Germany.

Changwook analyzed her expression and smiled. "In all honesty, you are still deeply in love with your career, aren't you? It's not like you can't live without being in a relationship."

Yoona lifted a bottle of wine and continuously emptied the contents into her mouth. She did not admit to what Changwook said, nor did she deny it.

"Jooeun said, your silence condones that man to continue hurting people around you: you, your parents, your friends, GK, and herself. If you want to suffer on your own, then go ahead. But have you thought about the people that care about you? How many years has GK supported you? Now they are being humiliated by SM, where is your conscience?"

After hearing this, Yoona's gaze finally revealed a trace of emotion.

"Right now, everyone is rumoring that you are in this predicament because you were jinxed by Jooeun. Some of your fans have even started attacking her. What has she done wrong? Why should she deal with your aftermath? Yoona-yah, you shouldn't just blatantly accept how you are being treated, men can also show affection. How badly does your man hate you, for him to be violent towards you for so many years? The worst thing is, you did nothing wrong at all."

Hearing these words, Yoona suddenly burst into tears. The person that was being betrayed, was her. The person being hurt was her. And right now, the person being destroyed was also her.

Changwook approached her and wrapped her in a hug, allowing her to release her tears. It was not until she was quiet that he finally released her.

Yoona sat quietly for a short moment before lifting her head and saying firmly. "What do you want me to do? I will cooperate."

Changwook let out a sigh of relief and revealed a smile. "This is more like you, our heroine! Tomorrow morning, we will hold a press conference to clarify the entire incident. Trust me, as long as you work with me, I can guarantee that SM will be in for a good show."

Yoona nodded her head. "I will lift myself back up!"

Changwook patted her on the shoulder to show support. He could sense the power in her voice. Once a person's heart is already pierced with thousands of arrows, they are invincible – because they are no longer afraid of anything.

At the time Jooeun was notified of Yoona's decision, she was in the middle of finalizing her commercial. Perhaps it was because she was influenced by the power of rebirth, she was extra serious about her work. She was in the perfect state of mind as she stole the limelight from the Western models around her. Normally, in a commercial that involved both male and female models, because of the powerful presence of males in general, consumers' attention would usually be drawn to them first. But Jooeun's gaze was shockingly amazing, it was more wild and aggressive than a man's.

This was the last day of the shoot. After everything was completed, Jooeun immediately held onto Jeonghwan's hand and said, "Let's return to Seoul."

"You don't want to have a day of rest?"

"I want to go cheer for Yoona unnie." Jooeun pleaded for permission from her man.

Jeonghwan had no choice as he flipped her hand and held onto it tightly. He then met with Tomasetta one last time before booking the next flight back to Seoul.

However this time, the couple were to appear at the airport together!

They no longer had to act as strangers and no longer had to enter the airport at separate intervals to avoid the reporters. As Jooeun entered the airport, she habitually checked around for reporters, but Jeonghwan reminded her. "Walk properly. Did you want to look shady in the reporter's photos?"

"But you are with me."

"Correct, I am here with you. I am your manager, shouldn't I be here with you?" Jeonghwan placed his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him, preventing her from being swept away in the crowd.

Jooeun looked at the busy airport filled with tourists and realized there weren't many reporters. She let loose and looked dependently at Jeonghwan before walking ahead. Jeonghwan and Minjung followed behind.

This was something the media did not expect. When they were trying to stalk her for photos, she wouldn't allow them to even get a single shot. Yet now, when they were no longer following her, she was revealing everything out in the open.

However, someone did end up spotting Jeonghwan and Jooeun. They approached Jooeun for an autograph and asked. "Jooeun unnie, why are you with President Lee?"
