My own bodyguard

€ You are my own bodyguard

..go.....ra...ma...

In a dark room, with only a bright candle burning, I opened a book and studied hard.

Crackle, crackle. The wood began to burn slowly, and the smell of burning filled my room.

이여주

"..How on earth am I supposed to read this.. "

Clicking his tongue in frustration, he threw the book full of complicated words back onto the cushion.

Bam!

경이

"Hey, hey, come out now!! We have to run away!! "

이여주

" ...What does that mean?"

I asked a question, but he grabbed my wrist as if there was no time to answer and ran out into the yard.

경이

"Get over the wall quickly. I said there's no time."

He took me to a large, high wall and pushed me on the back, telling me I had to get out before my mother came out.

이여주

" ..uh...I can't get over the wall!"

경이

" ...Then I'll go up first and catch you!"

Kyung-i, who was smaller than me, climbed over the wall one step at a time and quickly ran out of the house.

경이

"Okay, hurry up."

He reached out to me, but it was so high up that I couldn't even reach it, and my fear didn't go away easily.

경이

"Sister! Hurry up! The Crown Prince will be arriving soon! Sister, do you really want to marry that man?!"

My eyes lit up at the mention of marriage with the Crown Prince.

이여주

"..What? Marriage?"

경이

"I heard this while I was looking at flowers because I was bored! Come on, hurry up!"

With a confused mind and trembling legs, I climbed up onto the wall.

With one hand numb from the cold night air, he barely managed to hold onto the other and forcefully pushed himself upwards.

이여주

"Tch-cha... But, did you really decide to marry the Crown Prince? -, .. Heh.. Gasp... Gasp... I didn't hear anything like that."

I was out of breath as I tried to speak over the wall. Still, I was so curious that it was hard for me to stop my busy mouth.

경이

"I'm telling you, it's true! How can that old man and my sister get married?!"

Listening to Kyung-i's words, I moved higher and higher, step by step.

이여주

"Huh...huh,..well..that's true, how could I be with that person, "

Slippery-

It was a split second.

경이

"Uh..uh! Sister!!"

이여주

"Eww!!!! "

I was so focused on Kyung-i's words that I ended up losing my footing and slipping.

As I thought about the pain to come, tears began to flow slowly.

Whoosh.

I felt my body falling down and closed my eyes tightly.

I had my eyes closed so tightly that the blood flow was cut off.

Prison.

Instead of falling on the hard stone floor, I landed softly on something warm and with a pleasant scent.

이여주

" ..huh? "

I slowly opened one eye and saw a man standing above me.

Holding me tightly in your arms.

박지민

" ...... "

His eyes, slowly illuminated by the moonlight, were captivating.

It felt like those pitch-black eyes, like the endlessly shimmering aurora, were sucking me in, powerless, for just a few minutes.

My heart is pounding.

It was a gaze that warmed my heart.

이여주

"..thank you.."

With a strange expression on his face, he slowly lowered the arm that had been supporting me to the floor and stood up.

경이

"Sister!!!! Are you okay?!!"

Kyung-i ran to me with tearful eyes and looked at my long skirt, which was slightly soiled.

이여주

" ..Yeah... Thanks to this..this person..."

Kyung-i's worried expression softened a bit, and she bowed her head deeply to the man standing next to her and expressed her gratitude.

경이

"Thank you for saving my sister... I will never do something so reckless again.. "

It was nice to see him not only express gratitude, but also apologize for his mistakes. As expected of my little brother.

Was I just so proud that I couldn't take my eyes off Kyung-i?

Heeeeeek-!

A voice came from outside the house.

Then, both my and Kyung-i's expressions darkened at the same time.

경이

"...It seems...the Crown Prince has arrived..."

We're too late. My future husband has already arrived.

이대감

"Oh my, you're here? I'll call my daughter right away."

Soon after, my father's voice was heard clearly.

My body trembled involuntarily. No matter how much I thought about it, this just wasn't right. How could I, a mere 18-year-old, marry a man I'd never met before?

I tried desperately to hide my trembling eyelashes. But my anxiety kept piling up, and I couldn't control my expression any longer.

박지민

"Are you okay?"

I turned my head at the low, bass voice I heard for a moment.

Your gaze is drawn towards my knees. Ah. Is it because of the wound?

이여주

" ...Ah...there's a wound..."

Stroke. Naturally, he turned his face to the other side again.

Because I don't want to make things more complicated.

박지민

"I asked if you were okay"

My heart was pounding wildly.

I grabbed the hem of my clothes in a panic, trying to calm my startled heart. This won't do.

이여주

"...It's...okay...don't worry"

I rubbed my eyes, which had become moist with tears, and turned my body towards Kyung-yi so that I wouldn't have to look at him anymore.

이대감

"Ah! There it is! Lady! Come here."

Really this marriage,

박지민

" ...... "

I don't want to do it.

I hate it so much.

이여주

" ..Yes. Father, I.. "

Thump, thump. I paused for a moment as I walked weakly toward the Crown Prince.

I looked back.

Behind me was a wonder,

Next to me was the person who saved me today.

I haven't even asked your name yet, and I haven't even been able to properly thank you.

So this is how it ends so miserably.

"Are you okay?"

His warm words still resonate in my heart.

€ He was like my bodyguard
