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...
When I woke up, I found myself in San's bed. I adjusted my vision to the room and looked around for San. But he was no where to be seen.
I got up from the bed and walked to the living room, rubbing my eyes. That was when I smelled something being cooked. I went to the kitchen and saw San cooking something.
"What are you doing?" I asked, walking towards him.
"You're awake?... You were peacefully asleep so I didn't wake you up."
I slightly nodded. "It smells really good by the way."
"Wanna taste?"
I quickly nodded. He took a spoonful of it and blew over it before giving the spoon to me. I ate it and was surprised by the taste.
"It's really delicious." I gave him a thumbs up.
"Glad you liked it." He smiled and ruffled my hair. "Go get washed up. I'll set the table."
"U-Uh..." I quickly ran to my room and closed the door, leaning back on it. "Why do I get butterflies when he does something like that?..." I slapped myself. "Get a hold of yourself Mirae!"

"Where was it?" I mumbled to myself while searching for the ingredients. I was now at the supermarket as per San's order. "It was somewhere here..." I scanned the racks.
"Kang Mirae!" I heard someone say.
I turned back to see Jaehyun waving at me. He came and stood in front of me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
He showed me his bag full of different types of food items. "Groceries."
"Me too... San assigned me another work." I shook my head and we started walking along the racks.
"But do you really have to live in his house? Idol's personal informations are kept private though."
"I'm not sure... Maybe they need more security for him."
"I see..."
"By the way, you live alone?"
"No, I live with my parents. We own a small shop to make a living. And I too help them sometimes."
"Ah, I see."
"Ah right! Why don't you come over to our shop and have a meal together?"
"Ah..."
"You promised me last time. Can't it be today? It's almost lunch time now."
I thought about it for a while. "Okay. Let's finish this up and go."

We exited the car and headed towards Jaehyun's shop. It was small shop but was in a good neighborhood so it had many customers.
"Mom, dad... I'm back," Jaehyun said, walking inside. I too followed him.
Then a couple who looked to be in their late fifties came to us, both of them wearing an apron.
"I told you to come early," the man said to Jaehyun. "I can't manage it alone. Can't you see it?" He hit Jaehyun twice.
"Dad, it hurts!..." Jaehyun groaned in pain.
"Aigoo, this kid!...You always sleep when you're home. I don't know why you're my son," the woman said.
"Mom!... How can you say that?" Jaehyun pouted.
I was trying to control my laughter while watching them when their gaze landed on me.
"Aigoo... Who is this lady?" his dad asked.
"Ah, she's my friend. Kang Mirae. She's also my colleague," Jaehyun replied.
"Hello," I said and bowed to them.
"Aigoo... You're so pretty," his mom said.
"Thank you..." I blushed.
"Make yourself at home. And since you're Jaehyun's friend, I'll give side dishes that's on the house."
"Yes, thank you so much ."
I bowed to them and then Jaehyun took me to an empty table.
"I think I have to help them since there are many customers now," Jaehyun said, pouting.
"It's okay. You should go help them."
"Then... Enjoy the food."
He gave me a smile and went to the counter. I sat there and looked at him as he did his work.
He's so lucky to have such a happy family.
I let out a small sigh. "I envy him..."

"Sorry, Mirae," Jaehyun said. "I couldn't talk to you much."
"It's okay. You don't need to be sorry about that."
"I'll treat you nicely next time."
"No, it's okay. You already treated me nicely. The food was very delicious and you're parents are also very nice."
"Glad you like it here. You can come over anytime. It'll always be open for you."
"Sure, I will... I'll get going then." I waved at him and walked towards the place where I parked my car.
I was going to open the door of the car when I got a text from someone. I sighed and kept my phone back in my bag before getting into the car.
