Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version) Part II

Chapter 230: I'll fight for you and Help you Drown out the Crowd

Jooeun was stunned for a moment before suddenly answering in a gentle tone. "Because we have just finished some work together."

The girl smiled, jumped in front of Jeonghwan, and handed her notebook to him. "In that case, can President Lee please give me an autograph? This is a rare opportunity."

Jeonghwan looked at the young girl and glanced at Jooeun. She shrugged and looked at him like saying, 'You were the one that didn't want to hide. So you deserve to be asked for an autograph.'

Jeonghwan's eyes swept over Jooeun as he grabbed the black pen from the girl. After he signed his name he said to Jooeun, "Can we go now?"

Jooeun smiled. Being more cautious than before, she put on her sunglasses and face mask before boarding the plane.

"Since we've returned to South Korea, let's attend the Asia Model Awards ceremony as a guest."

Asia Model Awards is an annual ceremony that recognizes Asia's top models and celebrities. Im Yoona's name was at the top of the list. However, with her current state, it would be much too worrying if she was to go alone. So Jeonghwan arranged for Jooeun to attend as well. Not only because he wanted her to see the difference between herself and the top 3 ranked models, but also so she could cheer on Im Yoona.

On that day, he was going to make a move. He was going to utilize the Asia Model Awards ceremony to officially announce his role as Jooeun's manager. By doing this, he would elevate her status to an all-time high.

"I'll let you decide." Jooeun completely trusted Jeonghwan as she responded in a tired voice. He wrapped his arm around Jooeun and placed a kiss on her forehead. At this moment in his mind, he didn't want to think of anything else. He simply wanted to give the best things to her.

Because of Yoona's popularity, the media placed all their focus on GK's upcoming press conference. Not many people noticed Jooeun and Jeonghwan were already on their way back to Seoul.

During her entire journey home, Jooeun continuously heard similar conversations. "Stop saying Im Yoona is pitiful. Who knows, maybe she is an even bigger gambler, it's just she is good at concealing it."

"I never expected a supermodel's life would be such a mess."

"She's even had 3 abortions! She probably can't have kids anymore."

"Definitely, how disgusting..."

After hearing these words, Jooeun suddenly scoffed. She thought about all the times she had become other people's topics of discussion around the dinner table. All of a sudden she discovered, the most depressing thing was, all these people thought they knew everything, but they had no idea the suffering and helplessness that was happening behind closed doors.

Who said celebrities were the most liked..? In reality, celebrities had the most enemies.

While sitting in the company van, Jooeun suddenly held onto Jeonghwan's arm, only when he was around, did she feel rest assured. Jeonghwan placed Jooeun's head on his lap and gently stroked her ink-black hair with his warm hands. "I'll wake you up when we arrive home."

"No, Hwan. You should deal with the problem at GK."

"A matter like this doesn't require me to step in." Jeonghwan replied in a cold tone. The small tricks played by SM didn't hold any weight in his eyes. "Changwook Hyung can handle it."

"In that case, I want to see Yoona unnie. Between us women, we need to have a bit of heart to heart."

Jeonghwan did not refuse. He simply asked Taejoo to retrieve a not so flashy car from their garage and escorted Jooeun to Yoona's home.

However, Yoona's home was surrounded by reporters. Yoona had no way of leaving her home and Jooeun had no way of getting in. So Jooeun gave Yoona a phone call. Not long after, the carefully disguised Yoona snuck out through a secret exit and boarded Jooeun's car. Taejoo drove the two women to a peaceful spot by the sea.

Yoona had a scarf wrapped around her face the entire time. Even when there were no people around, she still did not remove it. Jooeun seemed to have guessed something was wrong. She directly pulled the scarf off Yoona's face and discovered her face was covered in wounds and bruises.

"Did you get hit again?"

Yoona threw her scarf on the beach as she coughed up blood. "I had a showdown with the a*shole. As a result, he was so furious he wanted to kill me. So I found an opportunity to run out."

Jooeun looked at her quietly, without a word.

Yoona leaned against the front of the car as tears uncontrollably rolled down her cheeks. "He wants all my assets. Otherwise, he will expose a sexual photo of us. I really want to kill myself and take him down with me. I'm too tired, much too tired!"

Jooeun looked at Yoona and asked in a serious tone. "Unnie, tell me honestly. How did that jerk's mistress die?"

"She was beaten to death on the streets. He assumed I had hired people to do it."

"Didn't you go investigate the truth afterward?" Jooeun asked.

"Of course I did. But even so, I needed someone to believe me..."

Jooeun uncovered the crux of the issue. Perhaps this was the key to fighting the man.

"Tell me all the evidence you have in your hands and instruct some people to investigate further. Unnie, the best way to reap revenge on that jerk is to make him feel regret. You need to make him turn around and beg you while you won't even take a second glance at him. You are still the same you: the famous supermodel. There is still a chance to turn the tables."

Yoona looked at Jooeun and was suddenly impressed by her clear-mindedness, especially when she suggested making the jerk feel regret. There had been many times in the past when she would wake up in the middle of the night and be tempted to strangle the man beside her. However, in the end, she wasn't ruthless enough. This time, she wasn't going to be so weak. She closed her eyes and agreed with Jooeun's idea.

"OK."

After speaking, Yoona looked at Jooeun and suddenly started laughing and crying. "Were you always this calm, or was it because of training from President Lee?"

"He pulled me up from hell. He gave me a new lease on life."

"Jooeun, you and President Lee must continue to love each other. At times, seeing people in love gives others strength. It makes one believe they can also find love."

Jooeun turned around and stood side-by-side with Yoona. "I'll fight for you and help you drown out the crowd."

"Let's go back. Changwook Oppa has organized a press conference."

Jooeun thought for a moment and suddenly suggested, "Let's not go to the press conference, let's go to the hospital instead. If you want to play the sympathy card, simply crying isn't enough. You need to show your wounds to our fellow females."

Yoona understood Jooeun's intent and nodded her head in agreement. The two similar women didn't need to say a word at this moment, they were pretty much good friends. In fact, they were practically like sisters.

Afterwards, Jooeun returned to Nine One Hannam. Not long after, a new entertainment news update was released:

[Just before the press conference, Im Yoona had received new wounds and appeared to have been threatened to keep her mouth shut!]

Following closely behind the news update, Changwook revealed evidence of the truth. It was Yoona's personal diary.

The diary was written from the point of view of a woman that had been wounded for many years. It chronicled all the sufferings and oppression she had experienced. Following the revelation of the diary, many people felt they could relate. Especially women, as soon as they read it, some even started crying. The fuse that started this reaction was Yoona's wounds. Fellow females immediately ignited with a terrifying combat power. Not long after, public opinion started to sway.
