Sungjae 
I pouted as I stared into the distance looking really disappointed as I have been thrown with bad news everywhere I visited during my free time, every bodyguard company and taekwondo dojo that I have been to all told me that they were fully booked and there aren't any strong and buffy bodyguards that I can hire and protect myself from. And I would have to wait for almost a year for them to have some new recruits but it will take such a long time for me and I don't like to wait. 
I might as well be a bodyguard myself and focus on going to the gym to buff myself up and be stronger in order to protect me, I could also visit the taekwondo dojo to relearn the skills and new moves but I don't have the time to do that. I simply don't have the time to actually learn taekwondo all over again because I am a very busy man and I don't have much time for myself other than to bring in money and feed myself, basically a bodyguard will help me solve the problem but I can't have one. 
I sighed once again as I remembered the disappointment that I have gotten over the past few days of getting rejected over and over again, I could go back to the taekwondo dojo that my CEO recommended me to but I don't want to go back to that place. I don't want to go back to see that horrible woman, that horrible woman who tried to do such a horrible thing to me. 
She is not fit to be a bodyguard let alone have the ability to even take care of anyone, she couldn't even prevent me from getting injured and she is certified to be a bodyguard, that must be the joke of the century. I don't know what my CEO is exactly thinking in her mind but I do think that she is crazy for wanting a crazy woman to protect me, she can't even take care of me in the first place. 
"Yook Sungjae, why the long face?" My trustworthy manager, Kang Mari Noona comes over to me to give me my honey lemon water. "You have been like that the entire day and it is going to affect your acting for real."
"Mari Noona, why is it so hard to find a bodyguard? Are there not enough males in this world?" She shrugged my shoulders and I tugged at her sleeves. "Then explain to me why I am getting rejected by every single place that I go to."
"Why don't you go back to that taekwondo dojo? The CEO said that the lady that we met that time is one of the best taekwondo users and she is certified to be a bodyguard as well, I know that she is a female but she can definitely do her job well." 
"But Mari Noona, you do know that I don't want her. You have seen how she behaved around her, I would never want to hire someone like her and have her be around me 24/7, no matter rain or shine."
She rolled her eyes. "Fine, if that is what you want, you would have to quietly wait a year for that ideal one to show up. I will be there to take care of you until then, I am still your manager and you know how good I know you and I know everything about you."
I looked down at her tummy, it is a little bigger than last week. "But you won't be there for the next few months, you are giving birth to your baby and you won't have the time and energy to be around me all the time. You are having a baby for the first time and they say that it is very tiring and stressful to take care of a baby." 
She sighed. "You're right, you would have to learn how to take care of yourself when I am on maternity leave. Don't think that you can do whatever you want when I am not around, remember what you do outside of your apartment will affect your image and everything that is about you. I wouldn't want to see you getting into trouble while I am not around to take care of you and I even wanted the CEO to engage a temporary manager to replace me but you don't want that."
"You are the one who knows me the best and I don't bear to have anyone take care of you other than you, Mari Noona. You are like an older sister to me, even my real older sister isn't like that to me." I have really gotten so used to my manager and I wished that she could take care of me for the rest of my life, not in a romantic way but like family. 
I spent the rest of the day on set acting and performing in front of the camera, it is my job that I owned and I loved acting a lot. It is the one career switch that I have not regretted ever since I decided to try out acting after failing to be a K-pop idol, and I wished that people will never stop liking me until the day that I die and I want to be a legend to them. 
I got into the car after I have gotten off work and I was supposed to go somewhere else, my manager is supposed to be driving but I told her to go home because she needs to rest and I don't want her to overwork herself. But it is good that my manager is not around me tonight so that I can go to the nightclub to go drink to my heart's content, it is something that I don't really get to do when my manager is around. 
And I drank the rest of the night away and I pretty don't remember anything that happens after that but I heard a very distinct sound, later on, it is a police's siren and an ambulance siren that followed quickly after that.
