Being a bodyguard seems to be a very responsible and a boring job, isn't it? And so thinks Mirae. But things get complicated for her when she becomes the bodyguard of, the famous actor and singer, Choi San and starts to fall for him.
Will she really...
"Yeah, like that," Mingyu-ssi said. "Tilt you head more." I did as he said. "Yeah, like that."
After some more clicks, he asked me to do another pose. "Now look up at the chandelier." I looked up at it but then I suddenly started hyperventilating.
—Flashback—
I was standing in the middle of the hall and looking at my phone when I heard Mom's voice.
"SAN-AH!"
I turned to face her and saw her running towards me. Before I could ask her anything, she pushed me away. I fell on the floor and when I looked back, I couldn't believe what happened next.
The chandelier that was hanging on the ceiling suddenly fell on her. All the glass decorations on it broke into small pieces. My heart dropped on the sight.
"MOM!" I tried to go near her but some people held me and prevented me from going there. "MOM!... MOM!..." I cried.

Mirae's POV
As soon as I noticed something wrong with San, I ran to him.
"San-ah... San-ah, are you okay?" I asked but he wasn't in the state to reply anything. He was sweating a lot too.
The other staffs also gathered around us and kept asking him the same thing. They were all making it more worse for him so I grabbed his hand and took him to an empty room.
I made him sit on the couch and cupped his cheeks. "San-ah, look at me. I'm here. It's okay now... Uh?..."
He looked at me and suddenly pulled me into a hug. "Don't leave me!... Please!..." He hugged me tightly, sobbing on my shoulder.
I couldn't understand why he said that but I still hugged him back. "I'm not going anywhere..." I rubbed his back. "I won't." But then he suddenly fainted.

"Choi San-ssi had a panic attack," the doctor said. "It seems like he was traumatized. But don't worry, he's okay now."
Me and Jihoon-ssi bowed to him before he left. We were now at a nearby hospital. Jihoon-ssi plopped on the chair which was beside the wall and sighed.
"I would have been more careful with him. It's all because of me," he mumbled.
"It's not your fault..." I glanced at my phone. It was 9:44 pm then. "Jihoon-ssi, you can go back. I'll stay here for tonight."
"Will it be okay for you?"
"Yes, I'll look after him."
He stood up. "Will it really be okay for you?"
"Don't worry. You can count on me."
"Thank you so much, Mirae-ssi."
"Please don't mention it."
"...But call me if you need something."
"Sure, I will."
He looked at San, from the door, for the last time before walking away.
I closed the door and went to San. I sat down on a stool beside the bed and held San's hand in mine, rubbing his knuckles with my thumb.
—Flashback—
He suddenly pulled me into a hug. "Don't leave me!... Please!..." He hugged me tightly and started sobbing on my shoulder.
—End of flashback—
I wonder what happened to him that he panicked like that...

San's POV
When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on the bed and soon I realised I was in a hospital. I looked to my left and saw Mirae sleeping there, her head resting on the bed.
She slept like that for the whole night? It must have been uncomfortable...
Then my gaze landed on my hand which she was holding. I slowly sat up on the bed, not letting go of her hand.
I slightly smiled and tucked some strands of her hair behind her ear but she woke up. I quickly pulled my hand back.
She lifted her head up. "When did you wake up?" she asked, eyes half open.
"Just now." She nodded.
She then opened the drawer which was beside the bed. She took out some medicines and handed them to me.
"You need to take this one now." She pointed to one of them. "And this one... What was it?" She scratched her head. "Ah, this one after dinner. Got it?"
I smiled. "I got it."
She smiled back. "Get freshened up. The doctor said we can leave when you wake up." I nodded. She walked out of the room, closing the door.
I looked back at the medicines and smiled before ruffling my hair.

Mirae's POV
"Sannie, are you okay?" Seonghwa asked. "I heard you suddenly got sick." We were now back at the company.
"I'm okay now. Don't worry," San said.
"How can I not worry... Was it because of that?"
I looked back and forth at them in confusion. San just sighed and slightly nodded.
That? What is it?...
"We cancelled all the schedules for the time being. So you can go home and rest," Jihoon-ssi said to San.
"Yes."
"Let me drive you home." Jihoon-ssi was about to walk out of the room when San stopped him.
"Hyung-nim..." Jihoon-ssi paused in his steps and turned back to face San. "I want Mirae-ssi to take me home."
"Yes?" I said, looking at San in surprise.
To be continued...
