The Guardian

Chapter 3

Hajin gets up abruptly. She looks around and realizes she is already in her room. Why did she feel like she just nuzzled in Yeong's chest while he picked her up? Was she dreaming?

Hajin gets out of her bed and barges in Hakyung's room. "HAKYUNG AH!!!"

"WHY???", Hakyung looks at Hajin annoyed. She's just getting ready to leave.

"How did I get to my bed???"

"Walking of course...", Hakyung lies.

"No way...I can't remember walking to my room...", Hajin frowns.

"You don't remember a lot of things..."

"But I can remember clearly how Yeong smelled..."

"Because you practically glued your nose to his chest...", Hakyung grunts.

"I KNEW IT!!!", Hajin exclaims.

"Oh...here we go...", Hakyung scolds herself for accidentally tell the truth. She was lying because she knew Hajin would overly excited.

"He picked me up, right?", Hajin grins. "Bridal style??"

"No...he dragged you to your bed...", Hakyung snorts. "Of course he picked you up...you were sleeping like you were dead..."

"He picks me up...", Hajin's still smiling, ignoring Hakyung's insult.

Hakyung sighs. Looking at her phone. Is it really okay to leave her sister with that bodyguard? No, she doesn't worry about her sister safety. She's more worried about Joyeong mental health.

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

Yeong just finished dressing when his phone is beeping.

Hakyung: Joyeong ssi, can you drive Hajin to her shooting set, please? Chul is calling sick today and I need to go to the office to review some contract...Hajin has early morning shoot...

Yeong reads that message and sighs. Can he say no? It's not even in the contract to drive Hajin around. Then he remembered Lee Gon words when he asked him to be Hajin's bodyguard. They don't have anyone but each other. And I can't believe anyone else but you. So please, help me keep an eye on them, okay? Especially Hajin.

Yeong: Okay.

He sends the reply to Hakyung. Lee Gon hasn't explained yet why Hajin seems like she really needs protection but Yeong believes Lee Gon must have a good reason for it. He'll ask Lee Gon again later. He gets another message from Hakyung.

Hakyung: Make sure she's on set before 9 am. Thank you so much. I owe you a lot.

Yeong glances at his watch. 7.30 am. Oh Shit. He needs to hurry. He grabs her suit and runs out of his room. "Mom! I am leaving!", Yeong yells at his mom.

"Don't forget your breakfast...", his mom stops him before he walks out of the house. And hands Yeong a sandwich. "Eat this on your way...be careful okay?"

"Yes, mom...", Yeong nods and left.

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

Yeong arrived at Hajin's home at 7.50 am. Hoping Hajin is ready. But of course, she hasn't. He's checking his watch every five minutes. His foot is tapping the floor impatiently. Where is that woman??? It's almost 8.30. Yeong decided to go to Hajin's room.

"Hajin ssi...", he's knocking Hajin's bedroom door.

"Come in...", Hajin yells from inside.

Yeong really didn't expect to find Hajin still in a towel. He freezes for a second.
