The silence between us(Ai-Chan x Bodyguard ff)

She spent thirteen years looking at someone else.
He spent thirteen years making sure she never got hurt.
Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, something changed.
She began noticing the man who had always stood one step behind her.
He began fearing the woman she had become.
Now every lingering glance feels like betrayal. Every act of protection feels dangerously personal. And every step she takes toward him is one he desperately tries to retreat from.
He tells himself he's protecting her.
The truth is...
He may be protecting her from himself.
