Cha Jooeun is seriously injured! After the media received the news of Jooeun's injury, they rushed over to the hospital in the middle of the night.
Jeonghwan followed the doctor's advice and wheeled Jooeun out of the hospital in a wheelchair. After capturing photos of Jooeun's condition, the media finally realized Jooeun had been enduring her pain through the entire ceremony. Apart from taking photos from a safe distance, the reporters were too afraid to get close to Jeonghwan, let alone Jooeun who was under his protection.
Only after the two boarded the manager's van, did Taejoo face the media. "Thank you for everyone's concern, but ChaJooeun needs some time to recover."
The reporters wanted to get more goss from their mouths, but they remembered Lee Jeonghwan was Cha Jooeun's manager. So even though they wanted to tail their van, they held back because of the warning Lee Jeonghwan had given them the day before. Since they couldn't dig up any new dirt, they only had one other option, to dig up old dirt!
The media looked as far back as the SHe Show and exhausted all their efforts to piece together every little bit of information they could find on the two. However, they couldn't come to a conclusion.
If Cha Jooeun had Lee Jeonghwan backing her from such a long time ago, she couldn't have possibly suffered all the huge ups and downs she had been through. So even if they found information, it didn't mean anything. Of course, not finding information early on, didn't mean they wouldn't find anything later.
For example, the media took Lee Jeonghwan's back and compared it side-by-side to the man in Damiani's commercial. In the end, everyone was shocked to find, Lee Jeonghwan had a 90% chance of being the 'back-view dream man'.
During the Nam Joohyuk's incident, this was the man that had helped Cha Jooeun pull through a tough time.
Afterward, when Cha Jooeun went on Radio Star, she had said that she was already married and was married to the most powerful man in the industry! The reporters dug deep into their information for the truth, but even when they put all the information that had surfaced overnight together, no one could give a definitive conclusion.
Meanwhile, a few reporters also found out from insiders that Lee Jeonghwan had secretly helped Cha Jooeun on various occasions. On top of that, there were rumors that Lee Jeonghwan was impressed by Cha Jooeun's professionalism.
But the most hidden piece of information they managed to dig up was that both Lee Jeonghwan and Cha Jooeun lived in Nine One Hannam!
In an instant, everyone was consumed in guessing the relationship between Lee Jeonghwan and Cha Jooeun.
Some people felt things weren't as complicated as they appeared. Cha Jooeun simply jumped over obstacles and advanced forward gaining Lee Jeonghwan's approval.
On the other hand, some people felt Lee Jeonghwan and Cha Jooeun knew each other from the start and Lee Jeonghwan had helped Cha Jooeun get to where she was today.
And then there were people that assumed Cha Jooeun had used an indecent exchange of her own body to climb to where she was. But no matter what they thought, there were too many logically unexplainable points, because Cha Jooeun's every action was simply to prove herself.
Like this, a person originally viewed as being aloof from the world was suddenly surrounded with an air of mystery. The public was more focused on being curious about Cha Jooeun than judging her because she contained too many secrets.
"The result is exactly how President anticipated. The public's curiosity towards Cha Jooeun has indeed almost reached a point of insanity." Changwook couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the public's feedback data.
Taejoo received the data from Changwook, had a quick look, and nodded his head. "Right now I am more interested in who the culprit behind Madam's fall was."
"Do you think they will step out and confess?"
"They better confess. Otherwise, no one will be able to anticipate what the consequences are." Taejoo replied seriously as he leaned against the office table.
Changwook understood what Taejoo meant, because to the outside world, Lee Jeonghwan was indeed aggressive. But he could not hide the fact that he doted his wife more than anything.
"Since we're talking about it, after seeing the love between President and Jooeun, haven't you wanted to be in love yourself?" Changwook asked as he sat in the office chair swinging his legs. "Isn't there a single person you are interested in?"
Taejoo turned around and looked at a painting on the wall.
"Your reaction obviously means there is."
"I'm not sure." Taejoo shook his head. "I don't know what is considered as interested in someone."
"Bro, with an EQ like yours, how have you managed to stay alive?" Changwook couldn't comprehend. He stood up, approached Taejoo, and continued, "Your words tell me you already have someone in mind. It's just you're not certain about your feelings, am I right?"
"Uh-huh." Taejoo lowered his head. "Actually, I'm not that interested in women. I find them too troublesome. Even if it's a woman that is smart like Madam, I still find them tiring. You can tell just by looking at President. However, there is one particular person that is different. While I'm giving everyone the red light, I can't help giving her the green light. I sometimes wonder whether it's because she is really nice to me."
Changwook analyzed Taejoo's expression, especially his eyes. He realized he was honestly confused and burst out laughing. "In that case, do you like the way you interact?"
Taejoo froze for a moment before nodding his head. "I'm not disgusted by it. I find it quite comfortable, actually."
"Isn't that all that matters? Just continue the way you're going..." Changwook encouraged.
If he was to continue dwelling on whether Taejoo was interested or not, it seemed he would only scare him off. People with low EQ were easily scared. Since the woman he was referring to also treated him nicely, it was obvious she was interested in him. So he decided to let this dopey block of wood continue enjoying the feelings of ambiguity. The feeling of having one's heart awakened wasn't something everyone could experience.
Taejoo remained silent for a moment before nodding his head. "I'll get going then..."
"Yes, hurry and leave. Did you think I have a lot of spare time?" Changwook pushed him out, pretending to be annoyed.
Although Taejoo left Changwook's office, his mind was still thinking about the question Changwook asked. Actually, his parents had pestered him about getting married, but he had always felt women were too much trouble. Perhaps as he thought about this person, his heart was sending out signals. Because at this moment, a phone call arrived from Minjung. Taejoo furrowed his brows but still pressed the answer button. "What is it?"
"Haha, I heard that Irene Kim is so scared she hasn't taken a step out of her front door. Right now she is contemplating whether to step out and confess."
"Did you call just to tell me that?"
Minjung froze for a moment. She realized Taejoo's voice sounded a bit abnormal. "Are you busy with something? Don't we normally talk about stuff like this?"
Taejoo did not respond.
"If it's inconvenient, I won't talk to you about this stuff from now on. It's just, I have no one to talk to." After speaking, Minjung wanted to hang up the phone, but Taejoo suddenly said, "No, it's not inconvenient."
"Huh?" Minjung suddenly felt like she was floating on air.
"I said, it's not inconvenient. If you want to call me, then call." Taejoo repeated himself.
Minjung's heart was blooming with joy. As long as she could prove that she was at least a tiny bit special in his heart, she was satisfied.
