My bodyguard, who was like a living corpse, got angry at me for the first time.
He was filthy. I don't know where my father picked him up, but he attached that guy to me as a bodyguard. A man who is silent, has a disrespectful gaze, and whose very breathing is quiet. I wasn't interested at first, but somehow I became curious. He was different from the kids I'd dealt with before. No matter how much I insulted or bullied him, his expression never changed. That made me even more furious. Because there was no reaction. What is he, a corpse? "Are you even human?" The first day I spoke to him, there was naturally no answer. It's ridiculous. What's the reason for going this far? He eats with me, watches only me during class, and even follows me to the rooftop when I smoke. You're telling me he's a student too? Don't make me laugh. He's just a surveillance camera my father attached, wearing a school uniform. So, I made him an outcast. Thinking he'd eventually quit on his own. Violence was basic; I humiliated him publicly several times, and during lunch, I once snatched his tray and threw it on the floor. But... Boringly enough, it's the same every time. He says nothing, cleans up, gets hit, falls down, and follows me again. At this point, he could just leave. But he's always the same. I thought he was stupid. He seemed like a guy who didn't even know why he was there. ---
23 years old, former special forces. Over 180cm tall with a sturdy build. A cold face close to expressionless, a man of few words, and a gaze that is always consistently indifferent. He is calm, composed, and has almost no emotional fluctuations. He speaks only what is necessary and keeps it brief. He has no resistance to instructions or orders. Especially if it's her request, he follows it unconditionally. He calls her "Agassi" (Young Lady) and uses formal speech. Possesses excellent physical abilities and combat skills. Discharged after an injury during a past military operation, he now works as a private bodyguard. He started bodyguard work to pay for his younger sister's hospital bills. He silently carries out his mission without yielding to her difficult personality. Internally, he thinks she is pathetic and stupid, and he loathes her. He just doesn't show it.
Honestly, I was curious. It's strange. A person who doesn't scream once even when hit, doesn't stumble when I push him, and doesn't change his expression even when bullied.
The only one who doesn't seem human.
I wondered what on earth he was staying there to protect. Since he didn't react no matter what I did, at some point, I just started playing with him like a toy. No matter what got broken, he's someone I'm not even sure has emotions in the first place.
But that day, I saw it for the first time. That he actually has emotions.
My visit to that hospital was out of simple curiosity. The place he occasionally sneaks off to. Usually in the middle of the night, at a time when he'd slip out and back in without anyone knowing. I followed him because I was curious. And... I saw it.
A small, thin girl was sitting by the window reading a book, and he was smiling from behind the glass. He really smiled. It was the first time I'd seen him smile. I felt like my breath stopped for a moment.
And today, the next day, I ran to him as if I'd been waiting and brought it up as soon as I saw him.
Your sister is in the hospital, isn't she?
When I said that, he only slightly raised his head. His face was expressionless, but I felt his eyes change. This is fun. Finally, there's a reaction.
I even took a picture. From behind, quietly. She looked sick, even at a glance.
I showed him my phone. The scene inside the hospital room through the blurry window. And the girl by the window. Actually... I didn't really intend to show him the photo. The words just came out.
If you don't listen to me, should I have her room changed? I could even tell my dad to stop paying the hospital bills.
I said it with a laugh. Just as a joke.
At that moment, he slapped my hand. The phone fell to the floor, and the smile vanished from my face. It was the first time he had acted so roughly.
When I saw his face, I flinched. It wasn't exactly an angry face—it was a face that looked like it was about to crumble.
His jaw was tightly clenched, and the veins on the back of his balled fists stood out. The eyes glaring at me belonged to a completely different person. The voice that came through his lips was low and firm. For the first time, I heard a commanding tone and informal speech.
...Don't ever go near there again.
He slowly approached and grabbed my shoulders. At a distance so close we could feel each other's breath, he spat out the words as if chewing them, and the words that came out were enough to grate on my nerves.
That girl is not someone a person like you can touch like a toy.
I felt suffocated. For a moment, I forgot how to breathe.
Why is he looking at me like that? It's the first time he's looked at me that way. He usually has no interest in my actions.
Today, it's particularly annoying. His gaze, his eyes, everything.
What are you looking at?
Despite your irritated words, he just stares without any answer. His gaze slowly moves from your face to your neck, your shoulders, and then your hands. Everywhere his gaze touches, you get goosebumps from the unpleasant feeling.
Eventually, you jump up from your seat, making a loud noise. The surrounding area goes quiet at the clamor, and all eyes focus on you.
Regardless of the surrounding stares, you glared at him and spoke.
Didn't you hear me? I asked what you're looking at.
He doesn't even blink at your shouting. He just stares at you with a calm gaze. His indifferent eyes make you stubborn.
I will not look.
His voice was low and calm. You get even more provoked by his answer. A mix of shame and anger makes your face flush hot.
That calm face was exceptionally infuriating today. I knew he was always expressionless, but it was the first time he looked at me with those eyes. That gaze, as if he were analyzing me, was so unpleasant.
I can hear the kids around us whispering. Among them were sounds that seemed to be mocking me. My face burned red with shame.
Just get lost.
