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...
I was about to tap the click button when San suddenly pecked my cheek. My heart skipped a beat and I froze at my spot.
He took the phone from my hand. "The sea looks very pretty here. I'll post this." He behaved as if nothing happened.
Am I dreaming?... Or did he really peck my cheek?...
"Mirae-ah," he said.
"Huh?" I looked at him, still in shock.
"I'm hungry. Let's go." He just grabbed my hand, pulling me up and dragged me towards the car.

"You made a reservation already?" I asked and San just winked at me.
We were now heading towards a restaurant which looked very fancy. I was left in awe when I saw the interior. It just looked so beautiful.
"May I help you sir," a lady came and said.
"I made a reservation under the name Kang Mirae," San said. I was a little surprised to know he used my name for the reservation.
"This way please." She lead us to a separate room.
I awkwardly took a seat at the table which was in the middle of the room, San sitting opposite to me.
"But San, a VIP room is a bit..." I said.
"I just don't want anyone to interrupt us."
I wonder what he's up to...
Our food arrived and we started eating. The food was really delicious, not gonna lie about that.
"How's the food?" San asked.
"It's really delicious. I've never eaten something this delicious before."
"I know. It's prepared by Chef Jung Wooyoung though."
"What? The famous Chef Jung Wooyoung?" I gasped. "Daebak! I'm a fan of his... I never thought I would be able to eat any of his dishes."
I watch his videos to learn how to cook. I can't believe that I'm eating a dish prepared by him. It feels like a dream.
I still can't believe it...
He chuckled. "Eat up."
"Can I request you something?"
"Sure."
"Can you get me an autograph of Chef Jung Wooyoung? Please don't deny it. Please..." I showed my puppy eyes.
"Okay. I'll request him."
I happily jumped on my seat. "Thank you so much!"
I might faint now...
"Mirae-ah..." I looked up at him. "I've prepared something for you."
Prepared something for me?
Just then the lady came with a trolley on which a bouquet of red roses and a small box was kept. She kept the trolley beside our table and left.
"What's this?..."
He stood up and picked up the bouquet. "Do you know the meaning of red roses?..." He came and stood beside me. "It depicts the passion of a person."
I kept looking at him as he kneeled down on one knee. "This is how I feel about you... To be honest, I'm really nervous right now. I'm also scared that I might make a mistake."
Is he...?
"I've been feeling this for a while and wondered if you felt the same... I can't hold it back more, the feelings I have for you."
I kept looking at him, not able to say anything.
"Kang Mirae, I like you." He held the bouquet in front of me. "Let's go out."
I wasn't able to think what to do by his sudden confession.
—Flashback—
"Think about it and sort out your feelings," Seonghwa oppa said. "If you're helping San out of pity or for something else. And if it's something else then don't hide it. You'll only hurt yourself by doing that."
—End of flashback—
Honestly, I too don't think I can hold it back anymore...
"San-ah..." He looked up at me. "To be honest, I... I like you too." I took the bouquet and hide my face behind it as I started blushing really hard.
He didn't say anything so I peeped behind the bouquet. He was standing near the wall, his back facing me. I kept the bouquet aside and went to him.
"San-ah..."
I went to his front to look at his face but he quickly turned away. He kept avoiding my gaze.
"Yah... Are you crying?" I cupped his cheeks and made him look at me. I could see him getting teary. "Why are you crying?"
He then pulled me into a tight hug. "I'm just so happy..." He caressed my head and planted a kiss on it.
"You're so happy that you teared up? Pabo-ya..." I hugged him back and we stayed like that.

We were now walking back to the apartment from the parking lot. I couldn't stop myself from smiling like crazy while holding hands with San, intertwining the fingers.
I was very happy that he got me an autograph of Chef Jung Wooyoung and confessed to me. Today was the happiest day for me. We walked like that till we reach our rooms.
I let go of his hand and stood in front of him. "Good night," he said.
"You too. Good night." I wasn't able to look at him in the eyes.
I slowly went inside my room but looked back to see him. He smiled to me when his eyes met mine. I smiled back and was about to close the door when he grabbed the knob to stop me.
He then came inside and cupped my cheeks before placing his lips on mine. I instantly closed my eyes, feeling the butterflies in my stomach as his soft lips rubbed against mine.
My arms went up to wrap around his neck and I kissed him back. He too wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to deepen the kiss.
After a while, we pulled back to catch our breath. He rested his head on mine, arms still around my waist. He then gently planted a kiss on my forehead.
I looked up at him and could see the sparkles in his eyes. That was when I finally came to know how it feels to love and be loved.
I'm in love...
