Twice one-shots

Protecting the Star (sahyo)

Jihyo Park stood at the edge of the bustling JYP Associate headquarters, her eyes scanning the familiar surroundings. Once a cold and calculated ex-general in the South Korean Special Forces, she now held a high-ranking position within JYP Associates, a prestigious security firm known for protecting high-profile clients.

Today, she had been assigned a new mission—one that would challenge her in ways she hadn't anticipated. Jihyo was to protect Minatozaki Sana, a renowned ambassador for luxury brands like Graff, Espoir, PRADA, YSL Beauty, and Missha. As a top model and influencer, Sana's schedule was packed with high-stakes events and public appearances, each presenting a potential security risk.

Jihyo straightened her posture as the door to the CEO's office opened. Nayeon, the CEO and an old friend from Jihyo's military days, stepped out, her expression serious.

"Jihyo, you ready for this?" Nayeon asked, her voice tinged with concern.

Jihyo nodded curtly. "I am. What's the brief?"

Nayeon handed her a thick folder. "Minatozaki Sana. She's one of the most sought-after models and brand ambassadors in the industry. Her popularity has attracted some unwanted attention, and there have been threats against her. Your job is to ensure her safety at all costs."

Jihyo took the folder, flipping through the detailed dossier on Sana. The photographs showed a stunning woman with an effortless grace and a dazzling smile. Jihyo's mind focused on the mission, setting aside any personal feelings.

"I understand," Jihyo said, closing the folder. "I'll attend all her schedules and ensure she's protected."

Nayeon smiled, though it didn't reach her eyes. "I know you will. Just... try to keep things professional, okay? Sana can be a bit... challenging."

Jihyo raised an eyebrow. "I'll manage."

Jihyo arrived at Sana's luxurious apartment later that day, her presence calm and composed. The door was opened by a young woman who introduced herself as Sana's assistant, Dahyun.

"Come in, Ms. Park. Sana's expecting you," Dahyun said, leading Jihyo into the opulent living room.

Sana was seated on a plush sofa, her attention focused on a tablet in her hands. She looked up as Jihyo entered, her eyes briefly widening in surprise before a polite smile curved her lips.

"Ms. Minatozaki, I'm Jihyo Park, your new bodyguard," Jihyo introduced herself, her tone formal.

Sana rose gracefully, extending her hand. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Park. I've heard a lot about you."

Jihyo shook her hand, noting the warmth and strength in Sana's grip. "Likewise, Ms. Minatozaki. I'll be attending all your schedules and ensuring your safety."

Sana nodded, her smile unwavering. "Thank you. I hope this arrangement won't be too... restrictive."

Jihyo's expression remained neutral. "My priority is your safety. I'll do my best to ensure you can continue your work with minimal disruption."
