The Guardian

Chapter 2

"Now can you go with my sister to the photoshoot set with our driver...I still need to take care of something...I don't want her to be late...", Hakyung asks Yeong.

"Okay.", Yeong gets up and walks out only to find Hajin is still standing in front of the door. Sulking.

"What did you talk with my sister?"

"Come on. You should go to the photoshoot.", Yeong gestures Hajin to follow him.

"Where's my sister?", Hajin follows Joyeong to the car.

"She said we need to go first.", Yeong answers while opening the door for her.

"Why?", Hajin enters the car. And Yeong closes the door. Ignoring all of Hajin's questions.

He walks to the front and sits on the passenger's seat. He nods to greet Chul, Hajin's driver. Chul is a little bit confused because Hakyung hasn't said anything about this man. "Who are you?"

"He's my bodyguard!", Hajin answers excitedly. "He's so handsome, right?"

"Yes...", Chul laughs awkwardly.

"By the way...why didnt you sit with me here?", Hajin protests. "How could you protect me, if you're so far away from me?"

"How far the photoshoot location?", Yeong asks Chul.

"About 30 minutes..."

Thank God. Yeong mumbles to himself.

"Yaaa!!! Why did you keep ignoring my question??"

Yeong takes a deep breath. And turns to glare at Hajin on the back seat. "Because my job is to protect you. I didnt get paid to answer your question.", he says coldly. Hajin didn't say anything, she's just staring at him with her big doe eyes. Why he feels like the light around her suddenly dimmed. Yeong shakes his head at his stupid thought. She's a human, not a fuckin lamp.

"Okay...", Hajin says with a low voice.

Yeong turns his focus back on the street. Now he feels guilty. Was he being too rude?

==============

The photoshoot went pretty fast. Now they already moved to the shooting set. It got delayed for a few minutes because Hajin needed to change her clothes. Her costar was wearing the same dress as her. Coincidentally she said. But Yeong was pretty sure that woman did that deliberately. He is a good judge of character.

Now Hajin is doing a take with that woman. Yeong is watching from afar when that woman suddenly slaps Hajin out of nowhere. Yeong's feet already took a step forward when he remembered they're filming a scene.

"CUT!", the director yells. "Brilliant!!!"

Hajin is touching her cheek. Looking totally in shock. "Why did you slap me?"

"I was just improvising...", Yuri shrugs. Not feeling guilty at all.

"YOU!!! HOW DARE-", Hakyung suddenly stands in front of Hajin. But she stops her little sister before she can slap Yuri back.

"Let's go Hakyung ah...", Hajin pulls her sister away. Hakyung knew if she really slapped Yuri, Hajin will get in trouble.

"How could she do that to you?!", Hakyung grunts when they already inside Hajin's changing room.

"I dont know...maybe she was really just improvising..."

"Do you seriously believe what that snake said??!!!", Hakyung looks at her sister in disbelief.

"Because...it's better than thinking that she really hates me...", Hajin says bitterly.

"Unnie...", Hakyung can bear seeing her sister like that.

Hajin realizes she made her sister worried. So she changed the subject. "Where's that cold bodyguard??"

"Huh?", Hakyung looks around and realizes Yeong wasn't there with them. "Maybe he waits outside..."

Knock! knock! Someone interrupted their conversation.

"Come in...", Hajin answers. The door opened and the man Hajin was looking for is there.

Yeong walks to Hajin and puts an ice pack om her check. She gasps when the cold ice touches her skin. "It must be hurt.", he hands her a tube of ointment. "Use this so it won't bruise. I'll wait outside.", he walks out as fast as he walks in.

Both of Hajin and Hakyung are just gapping seeing Yeong disappear behind the door. "What just happened?", Hakyung looks at her sister.

"How can a man be colder than this ice pack?!", Hajin grunts. "He turned something sweet and made it sound so annoying...Urghh..."

"Should we tell Lee Gon oppa and ask him to search for another bodyguard??"

"NO!"

"You said he's annoying...", Hakyung looks at Hajin. Confused.

"Yes....but..."

"Why?"

"It's just his first day...who knows...he might change later...", Hajin shrugs it off.

"He is your bodyguard...not your boyfriend, why do you expect him to change...", Hakyung rolls her eyes.

Hajin just pouts. Because she knows Hakyung is right. Why does she expect him to change? She can't just fire him on his first day, right? She just wants to give him a chance. Totally not because of she's really intrigued by that man.

==============

The four of them finally arrived at Hajin's home past midnight. Chul is helping them to bring all Hajin's belonging inside. While Hakyung is talking with Yeong.

"Thank you for today...sorry you have to go home really late on your first day...", Hakyung feels guilty because Yeong has to work overtime on his first day. "You can go home now..."

"I need to make sure Miss Hajin safe inside before I left."

"Okay...", Hakyung turns to her sister who sleeps so peacefully. "Should I wake her up...", she mumbles to herself.

"Should I help you bring her inside without waking her up?", Yeong offers.

"What?"

"She looks tired..."

Hakyung looks at her sister once again and sighs. He's right. "Okay...help me bring her inside..."

Yeong picks Hajin up. Gosh. This girl is really light. How much she actually weight? Yeong wonders.

"Come on follow me..."

"Engh...", Hajin stirs when Yeong starts walking. But instead of waking up, she nuzzles in his chest. Yeong takes a deep breath. Trying to stop himself from wake her up so she could walk by herself to her bedroom.

==============

Because...it's better than thinking that she really hates me...

Hajin words playing in Yeong's head while he's staring at his lips stained white shirt. Hajin accidentally stained it when he picked her up. Yeong overheard those words. Hajin's voice sounds so sad. Just one day with her, but he was already witnessing so many version of Hajin. He's still trying to figure out which one is the real Hajin.

Yeong glances at the clock. It's almost 3 am. He needs to sleep. Hajin has early morning shooting tomorrow. He can't be late.
