Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

CHAPTER 3: Suspected of Creating Hype

Jooeun smiled as she gave a nod before lifting up her dress slightly and running towards the back of the stage. With her mask on, if you are to point out one distinguishing feature between Jooeun and Shinhye, it would have to be Jooeun's legs. Jooeun's legs were once known as one of the most beautiful legs in the world. Just as everyone thought the show had reached its climax, Jooeun descended gracefully to the stage on a chair. All the spotlights immediately focused on her.

But the Stonehenge's LOVE bracelet is nowhere to be seen. What happened? Everyone present run around frantically looking for the bracelet, they even searched Jooeun all over. Because of this, many people couldn't help but notice her lovely pale long legs.

Legs so beautiful, they were unforgettable.

Just as everyone is about to give up, a smile appeared from behind the mysterious golden mask. Jooeun elegantly raised her arm, tilted her head backwards and lifted her left leg which is facing the audience – striking a beautiful dance pose. At that moment, out from under the white dress and down her smooth legs, the LOVE bracelet appeared around Jooeun's ankle sparkling magnificently.

Wow!

Everyone froze in amazement at the scene in front of them. The sight of Jooeun lying on the chair seamlessly moving from one pose to the next is unforgettable. Most impressive of all, every single pose Jooeun pulled, the LOVE bracelet would be presented in a different light, showing off its beauty over and over again. The audience rose to their feet and gave Jooeun a standing ovation. Amongst the crowd, in a high but hidden position, Jeonghwan's gaze is focused on Jooeun. His new wife, once the South Korea's top model, is here standing in on behalf of a B-Grade model. There is no denying it, no matter if it was 3 years ago or 3 years later, she is still the same model – born for the runway.

After Jooeun's final pose, the show came to a satisfying end. Stonehenge's founder is extremely impressed with her performance. Of course, he isn't aware the model on stage is Cha Jooeun. He still believed it is Park Shinhye. He appeared from behind the stage and approached Jooeun. Like a gentleman, he offered his hand, helping Jooeun off her chair and led her to the front of the runway as they bowed thankfully to the audience.

"Thank you everyone! And of course, thank you Miss Park for a spectacular performance. It is certainly impressive."

Jooeun stayed silent. She just simply responded with a bow. When suddenly, from the front of the runway came a high-pitched voice. "She isn't Park Shinhye! I've seen Park Shinhye in real life and she does not have such long legs!"

At that moment, everyone is stunned as they looked up and down Jooeun's legs with doubt.

"If you are indeed Park Shinhye, then remove your mask. If you are not, then CN Entertainment are a bunch of liars!"

Sounds of doubt multiplied and grew louder. Even the designers of Stonehenge are starting to question whether the woman in front of them is Park Shinhye.

"Miss Park, please remove your mask." The designers are curious. Is she really Park Shinhye? If she really isn't then their collaboration with CN Entertainment would have to come to an end.

Jooeun hesitated, but she is already surrounded. With no other choice, she slowly removed her mask. At that moment, everyone held their breath. At the sight of her face, some recognized her immediately as the once famed model.

"It's Cha Jooeun!"

It was rumored that after Jooeun was blacklisted, her status had completely deteriorated. She was even worse off than unsigned models. Who would have thought she would stoop so low as to step in for someone else? Is she deliberately creating hype or was she forced due to her current situation?

"Cha Jooeun, it's actually Cha Jooeun." The reporters quickly surrounded Jooeun, giving her no room to escape.

"Miss Cha, could you please explain the current situation? Park Shinhye was the one that was invited to appear in today's show, but how come it turned out to be you?"

"From what we know, you were blacklisted 3 years ago. Are you trying to take this opportunity to announce a comeback?"

"As a once-famous model, are you trying to take Park Shinhye's jobs? Are you taking advantage of her being injured and stealing her opportunity to be a spokesperson?"

"It's obvious you are just trying to create hype. I knew it. Park Shinhye is injured. How could she possibly attend the show? Famous supermodel my ass! More like famous super CHEAP model!" The reporter's questions got more and more intense, in fact, some were already spouting insults.

"Outdated cheap model."

"Park Shinhye should be the spokesperson, give it back to her!"

Jooeun is slowly forced to retreat as the reporters surrounded her. Some even pushed her. At this moment, Stonehenge added to the insults.

"I am going to sue CN Entertainment. What you are doing here is blatantly lying! I asked for Park Shinhye. Instead, they gave me a 3rd-rate model." The designer had no idea how famous Cha Jooeun was 3 years ago. All he knew was that he had not seen this model appear anywhere in recent years.

"As for you, I'll see you in court! But for now, get lost! You do not deserve to be standing on my runway!" he yelled. The sharp voice echoed through the building, even the reporters was surprised. No model would just stand there and let someone yell at them like that.

"Why are you still here? Get lost!"

Jooeun already prepared herself for this moment, but still struggled to hold back the humiliation. It is at that moment, a deep attractive voice resounded from the end of the stage.

"Yes, someone should get lost indeed." In surprise, the reporters turned to where the voice is coming from. There, standing at the end of the stage is Lee Jeonghwan. Everyone's eyes opened wide in shock.

Isn't this the CEO of GK Entertainment? Why is he here? Most importantly, why is he standing on the stage? It was a well-known fact that Jeonghwan despised artists that played mind games. Jooeun is digging her own grave. This time even GK can't help but step out from behind the sidelines.

Everyone held their breath, certain that Jooeun is out of luck. But to their surprise, Jeonghwan walked over to Jooeun and stood by her side. With the intimidating tone of a king, he turned to the designer and continued talking.

"But she is not the one that should get lost, it is you!"

"I could make Stonehenge disappear from Korea if I want to. Your manners appear to be on a different level to your jewelry." Jooeun's heartbeat stopped for a moment. Who would have thought her new husband, who she had only met for the third time would stand up for her?

All the reporters were stunned as they began to worry. Had they known earlier that Jooeun had ties with GK, they wouldn't have been so rude?

Stonehenge's designer was not impressed, but he knew he could not offend GK Entertainment. After a few moments of silence, he reluctantly apologized. "Sorry, President Lee. I didn't know of your relationship with."

"You are wrong. I have no relations with her. I'm just simply questioning your character!" Jeonghwan denied his relation to Jooeun and began to walk away. But before he left, he turned around and announced to the reporters.

"There is however, one thing I cannot deny. She will definitely become a rising star in the modeling industry!"
