MY TRIAL HUSBAND [JEON JUNGKOOK FANFIC]

CHAPTER 39

The star-studded Bright Night Gala finally revealed itself to the public. Outside the venue lay a magnificently long red carpet and a signing wall.
The scene was surrounded by excited reporters and fans; they were either holding phones, cameras or LED signs. The signs had the names of their idols on it and they flashed like stars in a vast night sky.
In front of the signing wall, stood the smartly dressed event hosts, each holding a microphone, recording their opening speeches. It had been a long time since an event of this caliber had been hosted in Korea and this event signified the start of a series of awards ceremonies.

8pm. Superstars started arriving one by one. Amongst the loud screams, Sehun held onto Choi Jiyun's hand accompanied by Lexi as they walked down the red carpet. No matter if it was the 'American Blacklisted Lexi' or the 'mistress Choi Jiyun, who had an affair with Oh Sehun', AT was a popular topic of discussion.

...But

The y/n that was riding the popularity of the Oriental Trend.
The y/n that had defeated Choi Jiyun in an instant and made her have zero mentions.
The y/n that was announced as ISN's first Asian spokesperson.
She did not attend!

The hosts were confused; they were sure y/n's name was on the invite list.
"Walking up the red carpet right now, we have the CEO of AT Entertainment, Oh Sehun; the famed model, Choi Jiyun and the extremely skillful Oh Lexi....Please come on stage so we can give you a short interview," the hosts invited them onto the stage and immediately took the opportunity to ask them a sensitive question, "May we ask why Miss y/n...isn't here today?Or have President Oh and y/n decided to arrive separately?"
Sehun furrowed his eyebrows, ready to respond, however, Lexi stepped in first and replied, "We notified y/n, but maybe because of a lack of communication lately, she hasn't been able to tell you that she has decided not to appear at the Bright Night Gala. AT also wishes, from now on, no matter her decision, she can notify us earlier."

.....After hearing her reply, the hosts could tell y/n and AT were at odds. Especially with the tone Lexi used when she spoke about y/n not attending, she seemed to be accusing y/n of being arrogant and selfish because of her popularity.....

"I think y/n might just be unwell, it's OK, we are looking forward to the next gathering!" One of the hosts tried his best to smooth out the situation.
But it was obvious to anyone with eyes what. AT true motive was behind accusing y/n. Judging by the previous incidents, if they were to choose someone to trust between AT and y/n, the two hosts would not hesitate to choose y/n.
Sehun's betrayal, Jiyun's pressuring and AT's multiple methods of suppression did not crush this woman. So, it wasn't easy for y/n to stay strong and get to where she was today. Most impressive of all, she was extremely easy going and kept a low profile.
Gazing out at the crowd, signs with y/n's name could be seen. Upon hearing Lexi's words, they were tempted to run up on stage and tear her mouth out.
...they were sure they knew what type of person y/n was....
"All I can say is, we can't do anything about her!" Lexi knew the host was trying to save the situation, but she insisted on causing trouble; defaming y/n was her aim for coming to this event.
The hosts smiled awkwardly as they got ready to invite the trio to sign the wall, but...

at that moment, a Lincoln Limousine pulled up at the head of the red carpet. The person that got out of the car was the editor of TQ... Mr. Wang Jackson. Most importantly,
he wasn't alone...

.....This was the first time he attended an event with someone!....

Everyone watched as he walked around the front of the car to the other side and opened the door. Afterwards, he could be seen helping a woman out like a gentleman...

Onlookers looked carefully and noticed, the beautiful woman was...
y/n!!
The y/n that had supposedly said she wouldn't make an appearance, had a warm smile on her face as she hooked her arm on Jackson's arm and walked down the red carpet. Y/n's fans immediately started cheering.
