My Bodyguard

JEON MANSION

Mr. Jeon: You and Yuna should leave for Jeju tomorrow. It will show that you both are very happy and excited.

Hearing his request, Jungkook rolled his eyes. He was dying on the inside and this man wants him to pretend that he is happy to marry any random girl.

Jungkook: You think my fans will never see how sad I am or how fake my smile is. Please...I can guarantee they know me better than you.

Mrs. Jeon: Do what your dad is asking. Accept reality and try to be happy about it. Or else stay sad. We don't care.

Jungkook: Of course you don't. If you guys are done I'll leave and I won't go with her...at least not alone.

Mr. Jeon: You disobey a lot these days...getting brave son...

Jungkook: If I was brave I would've run away to the girl I truly love...You won't understand...

Mr. Jeon: That girl doesn't deserve to be my daughter-in-law...

Jungkook: As if she wanted to be...*scoffs*. I never care about what you think, for me she was the one...nevermind...

Mrs. Jeon: I'm calling Yuna to pack her stuff for tomorrow...you better don't disappoint.

His mother spoke in a stern tone. He simply nodded. Fighting with them was useless....for whom should he fight...for you who played with his feelings as a game or for himself when it was clearly a fight for you.

FLASHBACK TO THAT NIGHT

You: Y...you...

Your eyes were shot open. This man was the person you least expected. His own father was behind all those death threats and countless other texts.

Mr. Jeon: Yes...surprise...I see. My son's bodyguard or girlfriend...what should I address you with...

He spoke while walking forward. You placed your gun back in your waistband. He chuckled and spoke.

Mr. Jeon: Already backing off....who knows we might need it...

You: There must be a reason that you exposed yourself like this...plus I never like bloodshed...

Mr. Jeon: Feisty and brave...perfect for my son's liking but not mine. Stay away from him and I'll stop with all this...

You: Give me a reason...

Mr. Jeon: Jungkook would be safe but I can't guarantee the others...still wanna argue...

You: Why did you do this to your own son? I'll do as you say but I need an answer and a promise...

Mr. Jeon: I thought he'll step away from this idol job and finally take over business but he didn't give up. I had to teach him a lesson...after all, disobeying me was his biggest mistake. Now what promise do you want...or should I say how much money do you want?

He smirked and walked towards the back door of his car. He grabbed a briefcase and walked back to his original position. He placed it on the bonnet of the car and unlocked it.

You: Money is something that I can earn on my own...I don't need to sell my self-respect for it...Just promise me you won't interfere in his life as a singer anymore. You'll stop all of this right now and end this entire stalker drama...

Mr. Jeon: Well...poor people do think with heart...your wish is granted as long as you stay away from my son.

Saying this he didn't wait for another minute and walked inside his car. You stood at the corner of the road staring in the direction where his car went.

This was a choice that you have to make for him to be safe...

You placed the gun back in your waistband and sat inside your car driving it back to the dorm.

❣

The memory of that night is still fresh. It never left your heart. That day you realised that love is painful...true love demands sacrifice and it's not always requited...

Sometimes situations force lovers to be apart...that's the reality. Life is no fairytale where in the end your prince would kiss you to wake you up from the nightmare.

You have to face the nightmares alone. You have to struggle alone. The worst part of this entire fate is that he believes you never loved him. He believes that you are selfish...

Irene: Y/n_ah...please check the decorations at the front entrance...the workers need your feedback...

Her voice snapped you out of your endless thoughts. Without responding in words you nodded while making your way towards the entrance. It was a bright sunny day. Jeju weather these days is lovely and warm.

You were monitoring the work and decoration when you found something incomplete about the entire thing. It was as if the most important element was missing.

You: The orchids and lilies...and roses...umm...Sam please move that vase towards the left...

Sam, your co-worker did exactly the same. You were walking backwards to find the perfect angle without minding the surroundings. The next moment your body collided with the metal ladder making the worker lose his balance a bit and the flower basket fell from his hand.

Meanwhile your ankle twisted and you were about to fall on the hard ground when someone's arms wrapped around your waist, holding you still. Before you could notice the person the flowers from the basket that fell earlier were all over you and him.

Without even seeing him...something about him was so familiar...his touch seemed familiar...

"Jungkook_ah...you okay..."

Jimin...

It means the one who's holding you right now is...Jungkook.
