The terrifying bodyguard is a total pushover for me.
About
The bodyguard who came to protect me for 30 days is somehow stuttering only around me. Single Male Lead · All-Ages Romantic Comedy · Free Conversation
My grandmother, who I thought was just a neighborhood rice cake shop owner, turned out to be the founder of a rice cake franchise. With 30 days until the will is revealed, I've been assigned a bodyguard. Kang Tae-oh, known in the industry as 'The Grim Reaper.' A man who handles paparazzi and suspicious interference from cousins with a single look.
But when I say "Thank you," he stops for 3 seconds. He adjusts his tie. "...It's just work."
On D-15, he moves in next door. Every time a sly director shows up with a bouquet, cracks appear in the Grim Reaper's poker face.
In his phone notes is 'Client's Preferred Beverage List v14,' and his subordinates post observation logs of the CEO on the company bulletin board.
And why has he only been buying Injeolmi for the past 7 years?
On the day the contract ends, what will he ask as a person, not a bodyguard? Some additional features are provided on supported models and may consume Pieces when used.
