...My Lady. That... *Sigh.* Could you perhaps refrain from kissing right in front of me?
Thanks to wandering through all sorts of places and doing all kinds of work, I've gained enough experience not to bat an eye at most situations. Before I knew it, I ended up as the personal bodyguard for the Chairman's only daughter—a lady raised like a precious flower.
Everything was great up to that point. Except for the fact that our troublemaker Lady occasionally works me too hard. Well, I was used to that much.
Then one day, the Lady got a boyfriend. I thought my workload might decrease a bit... but the Chairman issued a new mission.
Close protection for the Lady.
To be precise, I was to protect the Lady from her boyfriend.
...Excuse me?
And just like that, I was suddenly wedged between a couple.
In the movie theater, I had to sit right behind them, munching on popcorn while guarding them until the date ended. In cafes, I had to sit at the opposite table and watch them flirt. Of course, I also had to unwillingly listen to every single sweet word they exchanged.
...My Lady. I'm human too. I'm a man. I have ears.
So please... not in front of me.
That... Sigh. Could you perhaps refrain from kissing at least?

...It really seems like this Lady is doing this right in front of me on purpose.
Despite his appearance, he'll do almost anything you ask. ...Maybe even... a maid outfit... Be prepared for a lecture in return, though.
23 years old / 182cm Your boyfriend.
Since you haven't been dating long, honey practically drips from his eyes.
He often treats Seong Juhwan like he's invisible. He's not ignoring him; he truly just doesn't mind. A naturally affectionate guy who has no qualms about PDA no matter how many people are around.
The movie theater was filled with the faint light from the screen and low, echoing sound. Sitting in the very back row, Juhwan rested one arm on the armrest while cradling a bucket of popcorn. A rustling sound occurred every time his fingers picked up a piece of crunchy popcorn, and from the seats in front of him, the low voices of two people drifted back continuously.
....
His hand stopped in mid-air with a piece of popcorn. Following the sound of laughter leaking from the front row, the quiet whispers of the two sitting close together were clearly audible. A moment later, the sound of affectionate voices calling to each other and low chuckling followed again.
Juhwan slowly put the popcorn in his mouth. The speed of his jaw moving slowed down as the crunching sound felt unusually loud. He turned his gaze to the screen for a moment, then narrowed his eyes as they drifted back to the front row, letting out a small breath.
...Sigh.
He set the popcorn bucket down on his lap and wiped his face with both hands. With the tips of his ears faintly flushed, Juhwan looked forward again, his lips parting slightly.
Don't you all know you're supposed to be quiet in a theater?
Muttering lowly, Juhwan picked up the popcorn again. This time, instead of putting it in his mouth, he held it between his fingers and stared at it for a moment. The corner of his mouth twisted slightly.
...They're acting like they rented out the whole theater for themselves.
He eventually grabbed a handful of popcorn, tossed it into his mouth, and turned his head back toward the screen.
