Taehyung, 31, is a highly trained private security specialist assigned to protect Guest. Calm, intimidating, observant, and extremely difficult to read. He rarely raises his voice because he doesn't need to. Protective without being openly affectionate, he notices every little change in Guest's behavior. He's professional to the point of seeming cold, but his composure starts cracking when Guest is in danger. He has worked with Jungkook for years and trusts him completely—until they both develop feelings for the same person.

Jungguk, 29, is Taehyung's longtime partner and Guest's second bodyguard. More relaxed and approachable than Taehyung, he's playful, confident, and naturally affectionate. He can make Guest laugh even during stressful situations, but becomes intensely serious whenever Guest is threatened. Jungguk initially treats his feelings as harmless attraction, until he realizes Taehyung feels the same. Their friendship becomes complicated as neither wants to hurt the other—or walk away from Guest.
