Wooyoung woke up with a heavy headache as he opens his eyes to bright fluorescent lights. He could hear beeping sounds and heels walking wooden polished floors. He knew exactly where he was and he tried to stand up. Not even an inch, he grunts in pain and he heard someone moved beside him.

"Wooyoung, are you okay?" San asked softly and grabbed his hands gently. "I'm okay, San." Hearing just that, San smiled and he sat back down whilst holding his hand, stroking it with his thumb. Then, another person came up to Wooyoung, a person with pink hair.

"Hey, Woo."

"Yunho? Why are you here?"

"I tried calling you again after my meeting and San was the one who picked it up. He told me everything and so I came as soon as I can. You feel good?"

"Just a headache."

"Doctor said you've broken some ribs but it'll eventually heal back in a few weeks. Other than that, there are no other injuries." San said. "Do you know who that man was?"

Wooyoung hesitated to reply but he couldn't hold it back anymore, not after what just happened to him. "He was Mr. Kim, my old landlord." When Wooyoung said his name, Yunho was shocked because he knew the man also.

"I think he cut the power off to lure me out of the house and he was so desperate for money. He had debts with loan sharks and he has family problems too." He stopped for a moment. "I met him at the mall that time, San. I was so scared. I'm sorry."

Wooyoung wanted to cry and his breathing got heavier, ignoring the pain everytime his chest rises. "Woo, it's okay, it's okay." The reassurance never failed to make him feel calm and San hugged Wooyoung.

"I guess you know each other already then?" Wooyoung asked both San and Yunho.

"Yeah, I told him that you want to bring me over tomorrow but he said that he needs to renovate and add some few things to his house."

Wooyoung had a questioned look and stared at San. "I'm gonna add security to the place and fix the glass walls and the doors. I didn't think anything dangerous like this could've happen. But I'll make sure it won't happen again.

"What about my job?"

"Let's put that aside, okay? I'll figure something out until you are fully recovered."

"Get well soon, okay Woo? I would love to stay longer but I have to go back to work. Will still look forward to sleep over though. Take care you guys." Yunho sounded he was a bit in a rush after he checked his phone. He left the room, leaving Wooyoung and San alone.

Silence filled in the air and San kept stroking Wooyoung's hand.

"I never knew..." San started to talk. "you'll get hurt as bad as this. I didn't think I need security because I was at an isolated area and nobody could find me. I should've come home sooner."

Wooyoung started to realize that San was taking the blame. He kept rambling of what he could've and all the 'if's. Wooyoung squeezed San's hand and caught his attention.

"San, it's not your fault." San started to get teary eyes and he looked away quickly.

"I-I..."
"I was so scared to lose you."

Wooyoung felt his heart dropped. It suddenly felt like his chest pains were no longer there and all he wants to do was hug San and so, he did.

"I'm here."

Mr. Kim was finally announce arrested for multiple attempted murder and robbery in the court. It turns out that he had a huge debt with loan sharks that he actually finds target to get money out of. He saw Wooyoung going with San that day at the mall and he knew Director Choi San but instead, he picked on Wooyoung. He followed them home and he got a plan as he looks out that there were no security. Thus, the incident happened. It went viral throughout social media and the news.

San had to go to work while he lets Wooyoung rest for a few week before he could finally go out of the hospital. Yunho even keep an update to San everytime he goes visiting. He was praying that Wooyoung could heal as soon as possible.

San added new guard post at the entrance of the house and another at the front road, just to be really secure. cctv cameras were added but were only setup outside of the house. Alarm set ups and more taller fences were added. The broken glass walls and the broken doors were all replaced.

San had a meeting about his new project coming up, collaborate with a friend of his. Afterwards, he went through some papers at his office. He went to the telephone and pressed a button that made a long beeping sound, "Haewon, bring them upstairs."

In just a few minutes, the receiptionist brought four men into his office.

"Glad all you could make it, please have a sit." San offered to sit at the couches and welcomed them unformally.

"I am director Choi San, as you all know and so, let's not get too formal here." San said casually. "I want you guys to introduce yourselves first since all of you guys are gonna work with me so, it'll be better if you guys know each other."

"I'm Choi Jongho" A black coconut hair guy said cheerfully.

"Hi, I'm Song Mingi" A red hair guy with glasses said awkwardly.

"I'm Kang Yeosang" A pretty blonde boy with an obvious birth mark at the side of his cheek.

"And I'm Kim Hongjoong" Blue haired and has the smallest body compare to the others." We actually know each other because we all are friends here." Hongjoong continued.

"That's even better. This will be so easy. Let's get this down quickly. I promise it won't take a lot of time."

"So, Hongjoong, Mingi and Jongho. You applied as a security guard?"

The appointment goes on but San already accepted them to their specifiic jobs, it's just that he needs to know if they were really willing for it, following with their conditions. Hongjoong, Mingi and Jongho applied to become security guards and Yeosang applied to become a maid to replace Wooyoung, excluded the maid uniform.

San already know they are trustworthy when he asked Yunho if his friends wants a job from him. He trusted Yunho as he was Wooyoung's bestfriend. He has something planned for Wooyoung thus, why Yeosang could take the job.

At the end of their appointments, San concluded that they all seemed reliable and he was pretty satisfied at their replies.

"Well then, congratulations boys, you got the jobs." All of the four men, looked at each other as they were filled with joy, even Mingi and Hongjoon jumped together.

"Please arrive here at 8am tomorrow with your luggages. Haewon will give get you a taxi to my place so I can give you a tour while it's still in construction. I'll be there waiting."

"Oh, and one last thing, since I'm feeling in a good mood today, why don't we all go for lunch?" San offered with a smile on his face and he got the same reaction from them.

"Alright then, let's go."
