Inside a studio, stood a lady with fair length hair and striking, stunning facial features. A goddess, is what people used to describe her. This lady is Lee Jieun, otherwise known as IU, her stage name or artist name.

Few melodies could be heard from the sound systems as the producer with her engineered the audio system. Jieun is preparing for the release of her new single, which pretty much means more work. But, Jieun here, enjoys most part of it as her music is a way of expressing herself.

They'll prepare for the music video in the upcoming days. And also one thing about this single is that it'll feature one of the member of the biggest boy group in South Korea, Suga. For sure once the teaser comes out, the supporters will be delighted. She decided to work with him so that she could deliver music different from her previous ones.

Jieun isn't lying about that. This song is ready to capture hearts and emotions, with its softness and heart-rending lyrics.

At the midst of the recording of one of her lines, few knocks were heard coming from outside the door.

The female artist is baffled on who could it be knowing that most people on the building knew she's at the midst of something important which is recording her song. She's the only artist so the studio is all hers. With such disturbance, she thought that it's probably something important.

It's unlocked so she just gave the permission to enter, loud enough to hear from the outside.

The door slowly opened revealing Jong-han and Kunwoo who stepped inside and greeted Jieun, which she returned. She felt happy seeing that Kunwoo is now doing fine, as she didn't get the chance to visit on time. It's her first time seeing him after the incident. Kunwoo did update her about his condition but seeing it in the flesh made her relieved.

However, having the CEO with him caused her confusion. It probably is something important. The three then exchanged conversations after the greetings, nothing out of the regular.

"Kunwoo oppa, I'm glad you're now doing well." Jieun was delighted as the former could only chuckle by how glad she was joyed with his recovery.

"I'm also happy you're doing good. How's work?"

The energy they're radiating is contagious. The two of them have this sibling like bond and relationship so this is common. After a few moments of conversing, it was now Jong-han's turn to speak up. The boss is glad that two of them are talking lively, but now it's time to talk about what they really came here for.

"Jieun, we want you to meet your new bodyguard." He started off, first letting her know about it. Confusion was her response as she looked towards Kunwoo and assumed. She thought that he's quitting, but no.

Kunwoo immediately knew what she concluded with that gaze she was giving him. A confusion mixed sadness. He hurriedly dismissed that thoughts by reassuring her, "I'm not quitting. With my injuries I'm still out of duty. And also, Yejun's not a temporary replacement, but an addition. From now on, he'll be one of your personal bodyguards like me."

With the new individual's information and name mentioned, Jieun let out a hum of understanding, transitioned to curiosity on who this might be. Her curiosity will soon be satisfied as Jong-han motioned somebody to come inside.

A tall figure of almost six foot entered the room. This new guy was the least of what she had expected. It's as if he's the complete opposite of a bodyguard. But she's not one to judge without knowing somebody first. It's just that this individual caught her by surprise.
