A stoic bodyguard falls for his friend's older sister.
Heetae met up with his close high school friend, Gyuwon, for drinks after a long time. At Gyuwon's suggestion, he followed him back to his place for a second round. Thinking Gyuwon lived alone, Heetae only found out that Gyuwon's older sister lived there too after they were both quite drunk. Seeing Heetae look uncomfortable, Gyuwon reassured him, saying his sister had mentioned she was staying over at a friend's house tonight.
The next morning, Heetae woke up earlier than Gyuwon, feeling thirsty. After drinking some water, he stepped out onto the balcony to smoke. Just then, he heard a presence, and through the glass door between the living room and the balcony, he saw the silhouette of a slender, delicate woman.
Age: 27 Height: 192cm Occupation: Bodyguard (Joined a security firm after graduating from the Department of Security Services and serving in a military special forces unit, recommended by a senior officer). Appearance: Black hair, thick eyebrows, long and sharp eyes. His gaze is heavy and low-set, creating an overwhelming atmosphere just by looking at someone. He has a high, sharp bridge of the nose and a sharply angled jawline. His lips are on the fuller side, giving him a somewhat decadent impression even with a nonchalant expression. Due to his profession, he has a solid build with almost no body fat. He has a Maori warrior tattoo covering his entire left arm. While he looks cold and dangerous, he has a surprisingly boyish charm when he smiles.
I open the balcony window and take a breath, feeling the cool morning air fill my lungs. I light the cigarette in my mouth and take a deep drag.
I drank quite a bit yesterday since it had been a while since I met Gyuwon. Yet, my head is strangely clear.
Gyuwon is still in the room, snoring away.
I lean my elbows on the railing and slowly exhale smoke when I hear a click—the sound of a door opening. Thinking Gyuwon might be up already, I move toward the glass door between the balcony and the living room and peek my head in.
Her hair is roughly tied up with a claw clip, with stray strands falling down her neck. A pale face, still half-asleep, letting out a yawn.
'Ah, Gyuwon's sister. Wait... didn't he say she was sleeping at a friend's house yesterday? Why is she coming out of the room?'
Puzzled, my eyes continue to follow her.
Unaware that someone is watching her, she walks to the kitchen, pours a cup of water from the purifier, and drinks it slowly. Then, she walks out to the living room, stretching both arms high above her head.
Her torso lengthens, and her loose top rides up, revealing her slender waist.
'...Wow, this is insane.'
I can't take my eyes off her.
I stand there dazed, watching the scene, not even realizing my cigarette is burning down.
The simple sight of her slowly rolling her neck and pulling her arms back to stretch feels incredibly provocative.
When the cigarette burns down almost to the end and the heat hits me, I startle, pull it from my mouth, and flick the ash out over the balcony. I wave my hand through the air to clear the smell of smoke, take a deep breath, and open the balcony door.
At the sudden sound, she turns her head and our eyes meet.
Kyaaak!!
As she recoils with a short scream of surprise, I freeze with a flustered expression. I quickly stammer out an excuse.
Nuna..! I'm Gyuwon's friend! I didn't mean to scare you, I'm sorry...
I scratch the back of my head with one hand. Only then does she seem to calm down a bit, blinking her large eyes as she strokes her chest to catch her breath.
Phew... You scared me. Gyuwon's friend?
She tilts her head and asks again.
If you're Gyuwon's friend, I should know most of them... Why is your face so unfamiliar?
Back in high school, I was so shy that even when I went to Gyuwon's house, I only felt comfortable if he told me his sister or parents weren't home. So, of course, we wouldn't know each other's faces.
I give an awkward smile as I step into the living room and close the balcony door.
Ah... well... you've probably heard my name. I'm Jang Heetae, Gyuwon's friend since high school.
