Twentyone years old. It was the anniversary of my mother’s passing. The day when tears I thought had dried up poured out like a dam breaking. That day, as I descended the steps with swollen eyes from crying too much, my father unexpectedly introduced me to a new bodyguard.
“This is Kwon Ki Joo. He’ll be in charge of your security from now on.”
My normally suspicious father had an exceptionally satisfied look on his face. Eun Chae made no attempt to hide her displeasure as she scanned him up and down.
I had seen him on occasion. With so many people working in this house, nearly everyone was a stranger, but he wasn’t.
With his wellsculpted features and a body that looked animalistically wild, even the lady who raised me in my mother’s stead, Madame Ham An, wondered whose child he was.
He was quite capable. He had started as a bodyguard but had risen to the ranks of my father’s close confidants. Of course, this was not a good sign for me. If he was trustworthy to my father, it was presumed he wouldn’t be of much help to me.
As Eun Chae’s personal bodyguard, his job included reporting all of her actions to Chairman Song. Now that he was also a close confidant, how detailed would his reports be?
Fortunately, the Kwon Ki Joo reflected in her eyes was distant from the loyalty my father emphasized. There was no sign of manners or tension. He was a relaxed man who would handle any situation without flinching.
“Please take good care of me.”
She did observe the formalities. Trying to choose the right words as she cleared her throat, Eun Chae would have given a rather formal greeting if his gaze hadn’t been aimlessly wandering around, signaling fatigue and boredom.
“What?”
“…”
“From now on, I’ll be keeping a close eye on you and reporting to the chairman, so even if it’s a bit uncomfortable, please cooperate. Is that what you mean?”
The man blinked, his face untouched by her words. She was a bit disappointed. She had wanted to see his indifferent face flinch.
“Song Eun Chae.” Her father called her out as if to scold her, but she just walked past him. From behind, she heard her father excusing her, saying that she was a bit prickly, but that it was his skill to handle her. Her heart pounded for some reason.
The next day, the man actually followed her to school like a shadow. Eun Chae purposely provoked him.
“Why did you switch from guarding the chairman to guarding me? Is this a demotion? That’s big trouble for you at your age.”
She begged him to quit, again and again. However, the man acted as if nothing had happened. He didn’t flinch at anything, and surprisingly, his patience was good.
The reason she saw him again was due to a very minor event. Eun Chae had secretly investigated her mother, and found a housemaid who had worked in this house a long time ago. To meet the woman who was in Geoje, she ditched the man and boarded a train.
However, the woman didn’t show up at the meeting place. Overwhelmed by a sense of disappointment and helplessness, she didn’t want to return. She spent the whole day in Geoje, and when she returned by train, the man was waiting for her at the station. He did not report this to her father.
“If you’re pitying me, I don’t need it, just report to my father as usual.”
It was a warning to give up any thought of using her weakness against her. But the man said nothing. My father seemed to remain ignorant of the incident.
The days she noticed him increased, and he continued to appear indifferent to the person he was supposed to guard.
The moment her heart was completely stolen by him was when she accompanied her father on a business trip to the Philippines. During her free time, while browsing the local Filipino stalls with him, suddenly a thug attacked.
He fulfilled his duty as a bodyguard by being stabbed in place of Eun Chae. The thugs seemed unrelenting, so they decided to hide until the police arrived.
It was a room in a Philippine hotel, far inferior to a motel room. She tried to suppress her emotions as much as possible, but the sight of the man bleeding stirred anger within her.
“Why did you do that?”
Eun Chae strained her voice, barely audible due to her parched throat. She had long known that her father had many enemies. His aggressive nature in business, ruthlessly discarding anyone he deemed useless, was the recipe for creating adversaries. She had no idea he would show such a trait even when doing business overseas.
“Who asked you to die for them.”
Suddenly, her father declared a complete withdrawal from Diwon’s Philippine factory. The problem was that she was in the country at the time. Many people lost their jobs overnight. Among them, a local who held a supervisory position harbored resentment and attacked her with a weapon.
Regrettably, Eun Chae fought for her life. She was blocked by a reckless man.
“There’s something I want to ask.”
The man lifted his fine eyelashes. His sharp pupils instantly focused on her.
“You could have avoided it, but you didn’t.”
