Chapter 5

Seoul, 2018

The sound of closing of a door caught the attention of Taehyung and Nabi.

It was the man who wears a mask who entered the room. Nabi pressed her lips and averted her gaze on the window fixing her position from Taehyung's embrace.

"Everything's settled. You can go home now." Again, the sound of his voice made Nabi felt different but in a good way. She saw in her peripheral vision that the man was holding a duffle bag.

'Wait...' she said to herself, 'that's where he placed his gun! How can he manage to get it inside the hospital?!'

Another movement he did that made her stood up on her seat.

The man is about to come to Taehyung and grab his arms.

"Wait-"

"Don't worry, Nabi. He's coming with us." Taehyung said assuring her that's everything's okay. So she sat again and put her hands beside Taehyung.

"Wait...oppa, do you know him?" She asked in confusion.

"Call him JK, He saved my life and so does yours. I met him just this morning when I woke up and I asked to make him your bodyguard since some of our business rivals are sending death threats." Taehyung said.

"What?! How? Why didn't you told me?" Her confusion grew bigger this time.

"The moment I came back from Germany, I've been receiving a lot of death threats from some of the company rivals and some are from the people whom I rejected to be my partners." He sighed and reached from Nabi's hand which is resting beside him in his bed.

"I'm sorry if I didn't tell you. It's just... you might feel uneasy coming and living with me here in Seoul. And I don't want you stressing yourself over it..."

He squeezed her hand softly and look straight in her eyes pleading.

Nabi felt her heart softened thinking that she can't feel mad at him so she smiled softly afterwards.

"It's okay, I'll still come with you no matter what." She whispered and squeezed his hands like he did.

"But wait..."

"What is it?" Taehyung asked.

Nabi stood again and look at JK.

"Why him as a bodyguard already? You don't even know him, even for a bit." She said.

"Well, Like I said, we already talked earlier and since he saved your life and mine, I somehow trust him to you. And he told me that he's also looking for that men who keep sending us these threats." Taehyung explained again.

Nabi wasn't convinced at all and started thinking why he should wear such mask.

"Why is he wearing a mask?" She asked.

"To protect his identity."

"Even from us?" She exclaimed getting moe curious.

"Ah...some things need to be left as it is without any explanation." Taehyung defended.

"I'm used to this. As an agent, my identity is classified to anyone." There. JK spoke. She was left stunned for the nth time because of his voice.

"I'm used to this. Let me do the work."

A flashed of memory of someone came in her mind the moment she heard him.

She blinked thrice and lowered her head turning to Taehyung.
