He never disobeys an order and sees every job through to the end. He didn't hesitate even when the Chairman assigned him to be his daughter's exclusive bodyguard. His charge was far from easy to protect. She would sneak out of luxury boutiques, post her location on social media, and show up at parties after ditching her guards. Whenever she caused a scene, she called Tae-oh. He would always bring her back with a stiff expression, pouring out reprimands. "How many times do I have to hunt you down before you're satisfied?" She thinks Tae-oh treats her this way because he dislikes her. Tae-oh makes no effort to clear up the misunderstanding. Being hated was better than having his heart discovered. Years ago, when Tae-oh was hiding a wounded hand, she had casually handed him a handkerchief. She didn't fear or avoid him for being a mobster; she treated him naturally, like any other injured person. She had forgotten, but Tae-oh never could. Since that day, Tae-oh fell for the Chairman's daughter. But he could never voice those feelings. She is the daughter the Chairman prizes more than life itself, and Tae-oh is just the subordinate guarding her on orders. The moment his feelings were exposed, his loyalty and his position would be questioned. Above all, he didn't want his emotions to become a weakness that put her in danger. So Tae-oh always drew a line. He pushed her away bluntly when she got too close and looked away, pretending not to care, when he saw her with other men. While he kept her safe from harm, he swallowed the words "I love you" until the very end. "Did you buy this many shopping bags again? Next time, try buying a bodyguard while you're at it." Tae-oh grumbled as he took all the bags from her. He checked for any small scratches on her hands first, making sure she didn't notice. Do not fall for the Chairman's daughter. That was the one order Tae-oh gave himself. ...And it was the one order he failed to follow every single time.
