Chapter1
Ga Eul felt like the room was spinning in front of her eyes. She was feeling tired and really frustrated of living this cycle of hers which she called a life. She let her eyes focus on her father again and he repeated the same words
"Ga Eul-ah don't look so irritated. I know this is not what you want and believe me when I say I want the best for you but_"
She cut him off right there and said sarcastically
"wow dad, your love moves me to tears"
"Ga Eul!" Mr Chu said in a firm voice
"sorry dad, it's just I just want to live a normal life and you know it. I don't understand why you can't let me live my dreams"
"dreams?" Mr Chu gave a short sarcastic laugh and Ga eul just felt all the more insulted
"Ga Eul, you call that stupid obsession you have with dancing a dream? No honey, that's just childish and foolish"
'really? Because I consider your ego more childish and foolish' she so badly wanted to say this but she chose to keep shut and let her dad control her life as usual
His voice became softer now as he said
"you know you are all I have. I want you to be safe and happy, believe me"
"as safe as a girl who works as a bodyguard can be" Ga Eul finally spoke as she tried to contain the tears that were hanging in her eyes. But she was no softie, so she continued "please, just let me go to that dancing school. I want to live a normal life for once. Since I was five, you have trained me like an elite soldier. You never let me hang out late with my friends, I never went for sleep-overs, I wasn't even allowed to date. But it was all fine, at least I was able to make you happy. But now, I am, fed up of this life. Even when you chose to hire me as a bodyguard in your prestigious security company, I never complained. Why, because I wanted you to be happy"
Now she could no longer hold back her tears, softie or not, she could not stop the tears from rolling down
"I just want to live normally with no flying bullets, rough knuckles, and knives coming at me. is that so wrong dad? Please, just let me go"
Mr Chu thought for a long time, he had trained Ga Eul to be tough always, the vulnerable crying girl in front of him was so different from the bad-ass bodyguard he created
He smiled at Ga Eul who was trying to wipe her tears
"ok then" he said and watched as his daughter looked at him wide-eyed. He smiled and continued "maybe you are right and I am a little hard on you. So, I will give you a chance at your happiness but"
Ga Eul knew her dad better than to assume he would simply let her off the hook like that. Still, she felt a bit tense thinking of the kind of condition her father would impose on her
"but" he continued "you would have to do this job"
"you mean the job you just told me about, involving Mr So?"
"exactly. I need you to ensure that Mr So's son would be completely out of danger. You can only leave the job when you are certain there will be no more threats to his life. When you are able to handle this job effectively, then I can consider giving your little obsession a chance."
Ga Eul didn't know whether to be laugh or cry. Her dad was just something else. How would she ensure he would be completely out of harm's way. Was she a bodyguard or a special agent. She might never stop being a bodyguard with the kind of silly condition her dad was imposing on her. She knew he was doing it on purpose so she would be stuck as a bodyguard all her life
'At least there is a bright side' she thought wryly. Her dad said he would give her dream a chance. A chance? She wasn't even sure about him granting her freedom. She could not help but sigh
"oh, and we have to meet with Mr So tomorrow morning ok? She heard her dad say. she merely nodded and left.
'maybe, just maybe, things might get better soon' she thought to herself as she left her father's office
The next morning
So Hyun Sub looked up as he heard a knock on his office door. His secretary has earlier told him that his expected visitors were on their way to his office
"yes, you may come in"
Hyun sub has known Chu Jae Joong for years but still, he was always amazed at Jae Joong's professionalism
"Chu Jae Joong, how have you been?" he asked with a smile as he shook hands with the other man
"very well, thank you"
"I believe this lovely young lady is your daughter whom you told me about" Hyun Sub said gesturing towards the girl beside Mr Chu, dressed in black shorts that stopped mid thighs and a black tank top. Her hair was let down in soft curls and it helped to highlight her feminine features the more.
Ga Eul bowed a little in respect to the older man
Hyun sub smiled and gestured them to have a seat
"well, if I had not heard but the best of reports on your skill, I would doubt you can as much as kill a fly" Hyun Sub commented
Ga Eul simply smiled, she was used to these kinds of comments
"well, I will go straight to business. My son Yi Jung, he has a reputation for being a playboy. So, in one his escapades, he met this Lady named Miranda. They had a couple of one night stands as well"
Ga Eul tried to act professional but she couldn't help but think of what a jerk Mr So's son is.
"what Yi Jung did not know is that Miranda is the wife of one of the biggest mafia leaders named Kim Jong Suk. Jong Suk found out of the affair, and now he is all set to make Yi Jung suffer slowly before killing him"
"oh" was all Ga Eul managed to say. not that she was scared, she had dealt with the mafia many times in her work
Mr So continued speaking "what I want is for you to be his shadow and protect him always. Please"
Ga Eul could see the desperation in the man's eyes so she just smiled. Minutes later, she alongside her father left the room.
Hyun sub sat back at his chair as he smiled his first relaxed smile in weeks. Somehow, despite the whole sticky situation, he felt the light would soon shine on his Yi Jung.
Two hours later
"dad what did you say again?" Yi Jung said still laughing. When his dad had walked into his office, he had been a bit surprised because his dad hardly visits him during office hours. Butt what he didn't expect was this
"what do you mean you have hired a personal female bodyguard to protect me from Jong Suk's men? How ridiculous is that?"
"mind your language son" Hyun Sub spoke with a stern voice
"ok, sorry about that. But then seriously, if it was a male it would have been frustrating but a bit understandable. But a girl? Seriously is that how pathetic you think I am?"
"believe me when I say she is very good at her job. Gender doesn't matter, all that counts is your safety"
"but dad_" Hyun Sub cut him off and said firmly
"I have hired her already and she will resume work tomorrow"
"way to go Dad, you want to ruin my Saturday alongside my life"
Hyun sub gave a smile as he watched his soon put up on irritated face. He knew his son preferred Saturdays to carry out his many escapades than Fridays.
"I don't care what day or time is appropriate for you. Besides, her job is to protect you so you can still do any of the foolish things you like"
"thanks for your sweetness dad" Yi Jung said sarcastically
"but I just don't get it" he continued sounding more serious now "Woo Bin's men are ever available and they keep a keen eye on me. so why this chick? I have more than enough protection already, if you combine my own bodyguards with Woo Bin's men. So what difference will this one girl make?"
Hyun sub smiled and pushed the door knob open. He looked at Yi Jung before exiting the office and said "you would find out soon"
Yi Jung didn't know what to say. What was his father saying anyway? And what was with the smiley face. Has his father perhaps run mad? Yi Jung shook the crazy thoughts from his head. He looked at his watch and saw it was one minute to the closing time.
He grabbed his jacket and went out his office. As he stepped on the brakes of his black Mercedes which he mainly used to the office, he knew just where he would go to make him feel better
"your dad did that?" Jun Pyo asked for the nth time in that hour amidst the laughs of Ji Hoo and Woo Bin
"yo bro, don't take it so seriously. At least it would be a female. You could still have your fun with her. I mean its in the name, right? Personal bodyguard"
"aish, just shut up Woo Bin. My dad probably hired a middle-aged bodyguard like Hee Rin and he is just claiming it's a girl"
"well, I think Hee Rin ahjumma is really nice. She speaks like a true mother" Ji Hoo said as he pretended not to notice the glare Yi Jung threw at him
Jun Pyo and Woo Bin gave another short laugh at Yi Jung's behavior
"chill man. Why are you so angry about having a female bodyguard?"
"just think about it. 'The great potter and Korea's biggest Casanova So Yi Jung is being guarded by a woman.' Just think how embarrassing that is for me"
Woo bin rolled his eyes, Yi Jung and his ego
"but what if your dad was telling the truth and it really is a girl" Ji Hoo asked calmly
"that would be even worse!" Yi Jung exclaimed making Jun Pyo flinch a bit
"yah, why did you have to scream like a girl?"
"the pre-effect of having a female bodyguard perhaps?" Woo Bin asked as they all laughed except Yi Jung whose ears seemed to be emitting smoke
"she would probably be one of those clingy annoying fan girls" Yi Jung said
"yeah right bro, so what do you intend to do?"
"I don't know" Yi Jung said feeling lame as he really did not know how to answer Woo Bin
"why not use the old F4 way?" Jun Pyo said
"Jun Pyo, it's not high school so stop thinking about giving her a red card" Ji Hoo said with a smirk
"yah, who said anything about a red card? I mean, Yi Jung you can frustrate her until_"
But Yi Jung cut him off and helped him finish the sentence with an evil grin "until she resigns herself. I never thought I would say this but Jun Pyo, you are a genius"
Jun Pyo gave him a look that said "are you just realizing that dumb head?" and they all laughed except for the confused Jun Pyo
"I wonder what Jan Di will think when she finds out of your little evil thoughts?" Woo Bin said smiling
"Song Woo Bin! I would kill you if you dare tell Jan Di anything" and they laughed again
Yi Jung finally stopped laughing and thought "just wait miss bodyguard. I am going to break you" and he smiled as woo bin urged him to come to the pool table.
