Trial Marriage Husband: Need to Work Hard (TaeKook)
Chapter 1: The Flash Marriage Wife
9pm, one alluring night.
After drinking a little too much at her bachelorette party, Taehyung’s fiancée picked her up and brought her home to their apartment. Finally coming to her senses, she forced open her eyes, holding back an excruciating headache. As her vision cleared she could make out the figure of a man and a woman kissing passionately under the dimly lit room.
Like being struck by lightning, Taehyung looked at the two in shock as they continued to kiss by her bedside. The anger inside her began to boil...
???
"Suzy, stop messing around, Taehyung only just fell asleep!" the man warned as he restrained the woman by her waist.
Bai Suzy
"What? Are you afraid your fiancée will wake up?" Bai Suzy responded in an annoyed tone, "You are getting married tomorrow. Why don’t you give yourself to me tonight?!"
???
"Babe, you are such a troublemaker, let’s go to the other room," the man smiled seductively.
Bai Suzy
"No! I want to do it here! I want to do it right in front of her!" Bai Suzy swiftly unbuttoned the man’s shirt as their lips once again locked.
Taehyung tried to hold back her tears, but could feel them slowly trickling down her face. Who would have thought, the man she was to marry the next day would be cheating right in front of her.
???
"Behave, let’s go to the bathroom. Isn’t the bathtub your favorite place?"
Bai Suzy
"Fine then, you go in and fill up the bathtub first..." Bai Suzy nudged the man’s chest towards the bathroom. As soon as the man left the room, she sauntered over to Taehyung. Leaning over with a cold smile, she whispered, "Taehyung, I’m not going to let you and Bogum sign those papers tomorrow. I’m pregnant, he’s mine!"
Taehyung tightened her hands into a fist as she held back her emotions - careful not to let out a sound. It was not until she heard the moaning sounds of the couple coming from the bathroom did she feel her world had fallen apart.
Three years ago, Taehyung was once Beijing’s top model. But, because of this man, she gave up everything, handing over her hard-earned position to Bai Suzy. As it turned out, everything she did merely went towards preparing someone else’s wedding dress. No! This must be a dream, just a horrible nightmare, everything will be back to normal tomorrow!
Taehyung continued to lie to herself. Until halfway through the night, Bai Suzy complained of feeling unwell as she led Han Bogum out of the hotel. With that, Han Bogum was to leave and not return...
But, they were to get married tomorrow!
The next day, as planned, Taehyung drove to the Civil Affairs office with a bitter smile. As she stepped out of her car, she gave Han Bogum a call. The voice on the other side coldly answered, "Bai Suzy was injured on stage, I have to deal with this urgent matter first. Let’s postpone the registration to another day."
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
There is no ’another day’ , Taehyung disappointedly told herself.
Taehyung turned around and put on her sunglasses, ready to leave, but at that moment, her eyes were drawn to a tall figure heading her way. She couldn’t help notice the fitted dark blue retro suit which complimented the masculine body underneath and out of the front chest pocket, the corner of a wine red handkerchief could be seen peering out subtly. Glancing down, Taehyung could see a pair of perfectly straight legs leading to a pair of freshly polished brown leather shoes which glistened in the sun.
This man...had such a strong presence, like that of a medieval king!
Especially as he got closer, although he was wearing sunglasses...his perfectly chiseled face and sexy lips were enough to drive any woman crazy.
Taehyung recognized this man, he was the CEO of JJK Entertainment - Jeon Jungkook. Back when she was still famous, they had met once at a ball.
Is he also getting married today?
Unknown
"President, Miss Chi has not arrived on time...she is 10 minutes late! " The assistant behind him reported.
JEON JUNGKOOK (ML)
"Ring the Chi family and tell them: if they can’t even be on time to a wedding, then don’t bother coming at all," the man responded coldly.
Unknown
"But, the chairman said that you must get married today, no matter what. Even if you were to marry a transvestite he wouldn’t care..." the assistant replied timidly.
JEON JUNGKOOK (ML)
"Then, just randomly pick a lady from the socialite families...I’ll give you half an hour..." the man ordered. He seemed a bit unreasonable.
Oh...so he is faced with a similar dilemma...even though it is slightly different.
Jeon Jungkook had so much power, he could simply choose any woman he wanted. And as one of the most eligible bachelors, love was not his priority, his priority was to deal with the pressures from his elders to get married.
Suddenly, an idea came to Taehyung’s mind. Taking off her sunglasses, she walked in front of the man and gently suggested,
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
"President Jeon, your bride hasn’t arrived, and my groom has run away...may I suggest we get married?"
Unknown
Jungkook’s assistant froze in disbelief, how is this woman so brave...?
Taehyung stood straight in confidence, she had gathered all her courage to do this.
JEON JUNGKOOK (ML)
Jungkook removed his sunglasses, revealing a pair of dark ink-like eyes; his pupils glimmered like a diamond. After a short moment, he turned to his assistant and ordered, "Give me her details!"
Unknown
Of course, Jungkook’s assistant already knew who Taehyung was. He quickly grabbed his cell phone, did a quick search for Taehyung’s name and offered the findings to his boss. Two minutes later, the man’s lips twitched ever so slightly as he responded with one word, "OK!"
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
Taehyung felt that meeting Jungkook was the luckiest thing that could happen to her. He had no reason to use a woman, nor did he require love and best of all, he had no shortage of women to sleep with.
Ultimately, she wanted Han Bogum to regret his decision!
The couple’s wedding procedures were processed quickly. In just half an hour, Taehyung held the marriage certificate in her hands. From now on, she was a married woman.
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
"President Jeon, may I have a few words with you?"
JEON JUNGKOOK (ML)
"Get in the car!" Jungkook put his sunglasses back on as he walked out of the registration hall.
Taehyung followed closely behind. After getting into the Rolls-Royce, she nervously looked at Jungkook before requesting,
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
"Thank you for marrying me. If you need anything from me in return, please tell me, I will do anything. However, I have two simple requests I hope you can promise to abide by."
JEON JUNGKOOK (ML)
"Speak!" Jungkook responded tiredly as he loosened his collar.
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
"Firstly, unless you have no choice, do not reveal our relationship. Secondly, do not interfere in my personal matters. Do not worry, since we are married, I will not get overly close to another man."
JEON JUNGKOOK (ML)
After listening to Taehyung’s requests, Jungkook gave a slight smirk. A dangerous aura swept through the car, "I promise you...but, after I give you some time to tidy up your past, I want us to have a trial marriage. After 6 months, I will publicly announce our marriage."
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
"Thank you!" Taehyung nodded.
JEON JUNGKOOK (ML)
"Also... I don’t believe a married couple should live separately! I’ll give you three days to pack all your belongings and move to a place of my choice. My assistant will be in touch with you."
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
Taehyung had no objections. Since they were now married, a request like this was reasonable. So she obediently nodded her head as she replied, "I agree!"
JEON JUNGKOOK (ML)
"Good!"
After the two made their verbal agreement, Taehyung got out of Jungkook’s car and left. Jungkook’s assistant sat himself in the driver’s seat and looked at Jungkook through the rearview mirror,
Min Yoongi (JK's Assistant)
"President, shall we return to the office? Or would you like to return to the mansion to tell the chairman the news?"
JEON JUNGKOOK (ML)
"Follow Taehyung and report her every move to me!" Jungkook ordered before stepping out of the car.
Suddenly asking him to marry her, something must have happened!
As the president of an international entertainment agency, of course, he had heard of Taehyung before. Once a famous model in the industry, three years ago she suddenly rejected an offer from the top entertainment agency, Star King, resulting in her being blacklisted. Eventually, she announced she would be signing with Tianyi Entertainment and became a hot topic with the boss, Han Bogum.
Chapter 2: Striking Back at the Cheating Couple
Let's start the story 😊
***
And thus began the fall of a supermodel...
But, from the looks of it, Taehyung’s story did not end there.
...
…
In all honesty, Taehyung had never realized she was so brave - she had actually married a stranger! But, what was done was done, she would never regret her decision.
Taehyung returned to her car. Just as she was about to start the engine and head home, she received a phone call from Han Bogum.
Han Bogum
"Taehyung...where are you right now?"
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
"In front of the Civil Affairs Office, about to go home," Taehyung replied casually, hiding her emotions.
Han Bogum
"Suzy has a very important show... I need you to substitute her immediately. I’ll tell the makeup artist to provide you with a mask - no one will be able to tell it is you," Han Bogum ordered with the tone of a superior. "Since Suzy is injured, you will have to suffer a little..."
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
"Didn't you say Miss Bai got hurt on stage? In that case, the media should already know she is at the hospital..."
Han Bogum
"But, I have already asked someone to let it slip that she will still be attending even with her injuries. I told you to go, so go!"
He was so shameless. In the past, Taehyung had already done stupid things like this for Bai Suzy.
As it seems, she was being used. However, she wasn’t going to continue this way!
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
Taehyung stayed calm and nodded, "OK, let me know the time and address, I’ll head over there now."
Han Bogum
Taehyung, we are about to get married. Help give Suzy a bit of a boost, her career is currently on the rise."
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
" I’ll give her a boost for sure..." Taehyung responded with a hidden meaning.
"I’ll hang up then. Let’s have dinner later."
Han Bogum had no idea the tables had turned, presumably now, he would be sitting by Bai Suzy’s bedside, watching over his lover tenderly... Taehyung hung up the phone before giving her manager a call. Her manager immediately responded in anger:
Unknown
"President Han wants you to step in for that B-Grade model? Is he joking? If you didn’t decide to retreat from the spotlight, she would not even survive in the industry."
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
" Park Jimin, I’ve already agreed..." Taehyung replied calmly.
Park Jimin (Tae's Manager)
"Do you really have to go?" Her manager was about to spew blood in disbelief. Taehyung and Bai Suzy were both models signed under Tianyi Entertainment, but because of Taehyung’s decision to retreat, her manager was dragged down with her and ridiculed.
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
Taehyung knew her manager wanted to stick up for her injustice. Reassuringly she responded, "I won’t be that stupid anymore, I will not let them use me!"
Park Jimin (Tae's Manager)
After hearing those words from Taehyung, her manager’s face lit up, "So, are you saying you have a plan?"
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
"Jimin, from now on I can only trust in you, can you help me do something?"
Park Jimin (Tae's Manager)
"Speak." Her manager was loyal to her. After all, they shared the same objective.
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
"Bai Suzy is so desperate to convince the media that she is attending the show even with her injuries because she doesn’t want it to impact her eligibility for the ’Top Ten Model Awards’. Help me pay a visit to Tian He Hospital."
Park Jimin (Tae's Manager)
"I see what you’re getting at. Obtained evidence that she was still at the hospital during the show and revealed it to the public!" the manager smiled excitedly.
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
"No, I have bigger news. She’s pregnant! And the child is Han Bogum’s. Also, help me prepare a statement stating that Han Bogum has used me multiple times to substitute Bai Suzy during her shows. As for which shows? I will need you to help me find evidence for that."
Park Jimin (Tae's Manager)
The manager was surprised at first, but quickly understood why Taehyung’s attitude had changed. Such a shameless cheating couple! Not only did they cheat, but they also used Taehyung - ordering her around like a puppet.
"Don’t worry, Taehyung, I will help you do all these things."
Taehyung did not respond. She felt unusually calm. She was going to treat them like they had treated her!
After clearing her thoughts, Taehyung quickly gathered her belongings and drove herself over to the venue for the show to meet up with Bai Suzy’s assistant.
He was a married man with a strong bulky physique and a cunning personality.
He was reasonably polite to Taehyung. Even though she was no longer famous, the KIM family was still not one to be looked down upon.
???
"What took you so long? Quick...come and get your makeup done..."
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
"What type of show is it today?" Taehyung asked as she was hurried down the hallway.
???
"Nothing special!" the assistant replied. In fact, it was actually a jewelry show for the famous French brand: hf...
After this show, Bai Suzy would have the opportunity to sign on as hf’s spokesperson. Originally, Bai Suzy would have lost her opportunity due to her injuries, but with Han Bogum’s suggestion of using Taehyung, Bai Suzy certainly had no objections.
Actually, on her way to the show, Taehyung had already done her research on today’s show: The Crown’s Star Jewelry Show.
???
Bai Suzy’s assistant had intentionally lied to her. Has she always been this easy to trick?
"Thanks to Suzy’s current status, you have your own makeup room. You will appear in the grand finale and this is the piece of jewelry you will be presenting today. Here is the schedule..." the assistant explained as he pointed to the jewelry on the stage. He then ordered the makeup artist to start applying Taehyung’s makeup.
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
Did Han Bogum really think that by giving her a mask, people would not be able to tell it’s her?
Although what she had in mind was quite extreme, she was going to give the cheating couple a surprise of a lifetime.
***
Meanwhile, Jungkook’s assistant had been following Taehyung’s every move and overheard that she would be substituting Bai Suzy in the show. Immediately he reported everything to Jungkook. As soon as Jungkook found out, he ordered his assistant,
JEON JUNGKOOK (ML)
"I am going to hf’s jewelry show. Make arrangements immediately!"
Min Yoongi (JK's Assistant)
"Yes, president!"
This wasn’t a particularly special show, but he wanted to see Taehyung in action.
...
11am, classical music resounded off the walls of the Hai Yi Centre, the show had begun
Inside the makeup room, Taehyung’s makeup was complete, and she was now standing in front of the mirror in anticipation. Wearing a white tight-fitting long dress, simple but classy, adorning a beautiful golden mask giving off a mysterious aura, hair tied back away from her face with a single white rose - she was absolutely stunning...
The assistant was speechless. Inside he was thinking: Even if Taehyung was to stand still, she would surely attract the attention of everyone around her. Bai Suzy will get the contract for certain!
???
"You will descend onto the stage via a chair that will be lowered from above. This bracelet here is the Crown’s Star, let me put it on for you." The assistant unclasped the bracelet and carefully put it on Taehyung.
However... Taehyung was slimmer than Bai Suzy, resulting in the bracelet being too big. With a lift of her arm, the bracelet would slide around...
This bracelet was designed by the founder of hf for his beloved daughter. In the middle of the golden bracelet was a crown encrusted with white diamond. On the two sides of the crown were two stars made from a pure and immaculate white gemstone - just like two parents protecting their precious child.
???
"There’s no way for you to wear it...what should I do?"
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
"Do you trust me?" Taehyung suddenly asked Bai Suzy’s assistant.
???
"At this moment, I can only trust you," the assistant nodded. Without a solution, he could only trust the model. This was Suzy’s opportunity at being a spokesperson, if he messed it up, President Han would definitely fire him.
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
"In that case, leave it with me..." Taehyung reassured.
???
"Hurry, get ready...you will be going on stage soon!"
Amongst all the commotion, the assistant did not take notice of the look in Taehyung’s eyes.
Chapter 3: Suspected of Creating Hype
Eyana ✍️
How are you, guys?
Eyana ✍️
Let's start the story
Taehyung 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 were to point out one distinguishing feature between Taehyung and Bai Suzy, it would have to be Taehyung’s legs. Taehyung’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, Taehyung descended gracefully to the stage on a chair. All the spotlights immediately focused on her...
...the Crown’s Star was nowhere to be seen...
Everyone present ran around frantically looking for the Crown’s Star, they even searched Taehyung all over. Because of this, many people couldn’t help but notice her lovely pale long legs...
The legs were so beautiful, they were unforgettable...
Just as everyone was about to give up, a smile appeared from behind the mysterious golden mask. Taehyung elegantly raised her arm, tilted her head backwards and lifted her left leg which was facing the audience - striking a beautiful dance pose. At that moment, out from under the white dress and down her smooth legs, the Crown’s Star appeared around Taehyung’s ankle sparkling magnificently.
Everyone froze in amazement at the scene in front of them. The sight of Taehyung lying on the chair seamlessly moving from one pose to the next was unforgettable. Most impressive of all, every single pose Taehyung pulled, the Crown’s Star would be presented in a different light; showing off its beauty over and over again...
The audience rose to their feet and gave Taehyung a standing ovation...
JEON JUNGKOOK (ML)
Amongst the crowd, in a high but hidden position, Jungkook’s gaze was focused on Taehyung. His new wife, once Beijing’s top model, was here standing in on behalf of a B-Grade model.
There was no denying it, no matter if it was 3 years ago or 3 years later, she was still the same model - born for the runway...
After Taehyung’s final pose, the show came to a satisfying end. hf’s founder was extremely impressed with her performance. Of course, he wasn’t aware the model on stage was Taehyung ; he still believed it was Bai Suzy.
He appeared from behind the stage and approached Taehyung. Like a gentleman, he offered his hand, helping Taehyung off her chair and led her to the front of the runway as they bowed thankfully to the audience.
???
Hf's founder : "Thank you everyone, and of course, thank you Miss Bai Suzy for a spectacular performance, it was certainly impressive."
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
Taehyung 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 Bai Suzy, I’ve seen Bai Suzy in real life and she does not have such long legs!"
At that moment, everyone was stunned as they looked up and down Taehyung’s legs with doubt, "If you are indeed Bai Suzy, then remove your mask. If you are not, then Tianyi Entertainment is a bunch of liars!"
Sounds of doubt multiplied and grew louder. Even the designers of hf were beginning to question whether the woman in front of them was Bai Suzy.
"Miss Bai, please remove your mask..." The designers were curious. Was she really Bai Suzy? If she really wasn’t then their collaboration with Tianyi Entertainment would have to come to an end.
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
Taehyung hesitated, but she was 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 was rumored that after Taehyung 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. Was she deliberately creating hype or was she forced due to her current situation?
"Taehyung, it’s actually Taehyung." The reporters quickly surrounded Taehyung, giving her no room to escape.
"Miss Tae, could you please explain the current situation? Bai Suzy 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 Bai Suzy’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. Bai Suzy was already injured, how could she possibly attend the show. Famous supermodel my a**! More like famous superCHEAPmodel!"
The reporter’s questions got more and more intense, in fact, some were already spouting insults.
"Outdated cheap model..."
"Suzy should be the spokesperson, give it back to her!"
Taehyung was slowly forced to retreat as the reporters surrounded her. Some even pushed her. At this moment, hf added to the insults, "I am going to sue Tianyi Entertainment, what you are doing here is blatantly lying! I asked for Bai Suzy, instead, you gave me a 3rd-rate model." The designer had no idea how famous Taehyung 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 were surprised. No model would just stand there and let someone yell at them like that.
"Why are you still here? Get lost!"
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
Taehyung already prepared herself for this moment, but still struggled to hold back the humiliation. It was 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 was coming from. There, standing at the end of the stage was Jeon Jungkook. Everyone’s eyes opened wide in shock... Isn’t this the CEO of JJK Entertainment? Why is he here?
Most importantly, why is he standing on the stage? It was a well-known fact that Jeon Jungkook despised artists that played mind games. Taehyung is digging her own grave. This time even JJK can’t help but step out from behind the sidelines.
Everyone held their breath, certain that Taehyung was out of luck. But to their surprise, Jeon Jungkook walked over to Taehyung and stood by her side. With the intimidating tone of a king, he turned to the designer and continued,
JEON JUNGKOOK (ML)
"...but, she is not the one that should get lost...it is you!"
JEON JUNGKOOK (ML)
"I could make hf disappear from Beijing if I want to. Your manners appear to be on a different level to your jewelry."
KIM TAEHYUNG (MC)
Taehyung’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 Taehyung had ties with JJK, they wouldn’t have been so rude.
Hf’s designer was not impressed, but he knew he could not offend JJK International. After a few moments of silence, he reluctantly apologized, "Sorry, President Jeon. I didn’t know of your relationship with..."
JEON JUNGKOOK (ML)
"You are wrong, I have no relations with her. I’m just simply...questioning your character!" Jungkook denied his relation to Taehyung 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!"
