Me After You

Your Armor

He saw her putting her phone away, looking dejected. She must have been reading another hate comment on her social media, and she's been taking time off from it because of some of the hate comments she's read. He clenched his fist, seeing her sad like this making him want to release his inner Ryu Shi O. "The bodyguard hyung will accompany you," he said as he ate his tteokbokki.

She raised her head and frowned at him. "What bodyguard?"

"My bodyguard will accompany you when you go to Bali next week," he said with finality.

She looked at him like he had grown another head. "Oppa, are you crazy?"

He sighed, pushing away his plate. "Hyeyoon-ah."

"What are people going to say? Your company hired your bodyguard to protect you. Why would they accompany me?"

"Because I asked them, and they agreed." he shrugged.

"Oppa!" She looked agitated and began to raise her voice.

"Hyeyoon-ah, you know your safety is my main priority," he said, looking at her seriously. Did she not realize how popular she had become?

"I'm not some damsel in distress. People don't care about me. I'm doing just fine."

"This is not up for discussion," he said with finality. "Just accept it-they'll accompany you at the airport until you board the plane."

"Yah, Ryu Sun Jae!" she yelled at him. She must be really angry with him if she called him Sun Jae. Because Byeon Woo Seok is older than her, but Sun Jae is the same age as her, she can speak informally. She is very respectful toward people who are older than her.

"The media will go crazy about this! Are you really crazy!" She looked so angry that, if looks could kill, he might have been bleeding on the floor already.

He stood up and moved in front of her, placing his hands on her shoulders. "Hyeyoon-ah, I don't care what people say about this. I don't care if they speculate that you're my girlfriend. I don't care if they're angry with me for protecting you. I don't give a flying fuck about what other people say," he said with all seriousness. "All I want is for you to be safe and sound."
