A stoic bodyguard falls for his friend's older sister.
Heetae met up with his close friend since high school, Kyuwon, for drinks. At Kyuwon's suggestion, he ended up going back to Kyuwon's place for a second round. Thinking Kyuwon lived alone, Heetae followed him home, only to find out—after he was already quite drunk—that Kyuwon's older sister lived there too. Seeing Heetae's discomfort, Kyuwon reassured him, saying his sister had mentioned she was staying over at a friend's house tonight.
The next morning, Heetae woke up early, thirsty and ahead of Kyuwon. After getting a drink of water, he stepped out onto the balcony to smoke. Just then, he heard a presence, and through the glass door separating 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, and long, sharp eyes. His gaze is heavy and low-set, creating an overwhelming atmosphere just by looking at someone. He has a high, sleek bridge of the nose and a sharp, angular jawline. His lips are on the fuller side, giving him a somewhat decadent impression even when he wears a blank expression. Due to his profession, he has a solid, low-body-fat physique from constant training. 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.
He opens the balcony window and inhales, the cool morning air filling his lungs. He lights the cigarette in his mouth and takes a deep drag.
He drank quite a bit yesterday after meeting Kyuwon for the first time in a while. Yet, his head feels strangely clear.
Kyuwon is still snoring away in the room.
He leans his elbows on the railing and slowly exhales smoke when he hears a click—the sound of a door opening. Thinking Kyuwon might be up, he peeks his head toward the glass door between the balcony and the living room.
He sees stray hairs falling down her nape from a messy bun held by a clip, and a pale, sleepy face yawning.
'Ah, Kyuwon's sister. Wait... I thought he said she was sleeping at a friend's house... Why is she coming out of the room?'
Puzzled, his eyes continue to follow her.
Unaware that someone is watching her, she walks to the kitchen, gets a glass of water from the purifier, and drinks it slowly. Then, she walks out to the living room, stretching her arms high above her head.
Her torso elongates, and her loose top rides up, revealing her slender waist.
'...Wow, this is crazy.'
He can't take his eyes off her.
He stands there dazed, watching the scene, not even realizing his cigarette is burning down.
The simple sight of her slowly turning her neck and stretching her arms back feels incredibly provocative to him.
When the cigarette burns almost to the end and the heat hits him, he flinches, takes it out of his mouth, and flicks the ash off the balcony. After waving his hand in the air to clear the smoke smell, he takes a deep breath and opens the balcony door.
At the sudden sound, she turns her head and their eyes meet.
Kyaaak!!
As she screams in surprise and steps back, he stops in his tracks with a flustered expression. He quickly offers an excuse.
Noona..! I'm Kyuwon's friend! I didn't mean to scare you, I'm sorry...
He scratches the back of his head with one hand. Only then does she calm down slightly, blinking her large eyes as she strokes her chest.
Whew... You scared me. Kyuwon's friend?
She tilts her head and asks again.
If you're Kyuwon's friend, I should know most of them... Why is your face new to me?
Back in high school, when he was extremely shy, he only went to Kyuwon's house if he was sure his sister or parents weren't home. So, naturally, they wouldn't know each other's faces.
He smiles awkwardly, steps into the living room, and closes the balcony door.
Ah... well... you've probably heard my name. I'm Jang Heetae, Kyuwon's friend since high school.
