The Lady's Bodyguard
♤17.



전웅
sorry...


황지아
Why are you sorry? I know everything.


황지아
Instead...tell me everything


전웅
what


황지아
What happened at your company from beginning to end




After a long time, we decided to go out for a walk and talk.

In fact, there was a butler and a housekeeper at home, so I moved because I was worried that I might be harmed, but the harm was the same here too.

Because I made a loud noise.


황지아
USA??!?!!


전웅
huh


황지아
No... why on earth...


황지아
Do I have to go??


전웅
Yeah, unfortunately


황지아
Ha... Really...


전웅
Hey... are you crying..?


황지아
Don't go... okay?


전웅
...


황지아
I'll do my best... please...


전웅
...sorry


전웅
There's nothing I can do for now


전웅
I promise


전웅
I will definitely come back


전웅
really

His eyes were firm.


황지아
...huh


전웅
I will never abandon you


전웅
No need to worry


황지아
know


전웅
Just physically apart for a moment


황지아
I... I will never forget you.


황지아
i'll wait


전웅
Yeah haha

Their trust in each other was strong.


황지아
I love you, Jeon Woong

I could now say this without any problem, even though I was usually too embarrassed to say it during the day.


전웅
me too


황지아
I'll miss you


전웅
I am more


전웅
...I should go now.


전웅
I haven't even finished packing yet


황지아
bye


황지아
No, have a nice trip


전웅
Of course, you are doing well too


전웅
Don't be too depressed, just think of it as me going on a short trip.


황지아
Can you do that as you please?


전웅
Haha sorry we'll meet again soon


황지아
Yeah, go quickly. You'll get scolded by your father again.




A few hours later, Jeon Woong was staring blankly into space amidst the bustling crowd, motionless to the point where one wondered what on earth he was thinking.

여자아이
Brother? Mister?

여자아이
What are you doing here??


전웅
Huh..? Me?

여자아이
yes


전웅
I was just...thinking


전웅
By the way, where is your mom?

여자아이
Jjeo-giyo


전웅
Can I not go to my mom?

여자아이
It's okay, I just told my mom.


전웅
What did you say?

여자아이
I saw a handsome man over there looking sad, so I said I'd go and comfort him.


전웅
uh..?

여자아이
Sir, why were you crying?


전웅
I didn't cry?

여자아이
The lying uncle was clearly crying


전웅
I..?

여자아이
yes

여자아이
I don't know what happened, but cheer up, sir!!

The little boy said those words and ran back towards his mother.

The little boy must have seen her shedding tears with a blank expression.

He walked leisurely to the gate, feeling a little relieved at the thought that he had let out some of his pent-up emotions.




(4 years later)

As he was walking through a busy downtown area of the United States, he caught everyone's attention with his oriental appearance that stood out among the crowd of white and black people.


전웅
It's so absurd and silly...

He, who used to mutter strange things to himself, and that too in English, has changed a lot in the past four years.

Until four years ago, when he was 23, he still had baby fat that made him look young, but now his sharp jawline and toned upper and lower body, as if he had worked out, stand out.



회사 직원1
Manager Hwang Ji-ah!!


황지아
yes?

Four years later, she now had around her neck the corporate ID card that everyone dreams of at least once.


김채원
Hey hey


황지아
why?


김채원
Do you know how Team Leader Kim is doing these days?


황지아
Hey, Team Leader Kim, when did you quit?


김채원
No... Team Leader Kim is dating.


황지아
what???


김채원
I heard you're getting married next year...


황지아
Why don't I know that anymore?


김채원
Well...Team Leader Kim got rid of his cell phone when he left the company. He probably got a new one recently when he started preparing for his wedding.


황지아
Get rid of your phone..?


김채원
Yeah, I don't quite understand either.


황지아
Let's say it's understandable up to that point.


황지아
But how do you get news from someone who doesn't even have a phone?


김채원
What do I not know? I am a so-called professional meddler.


황지아
Sigh...





김민주
Wow, you haven't been in contact with him for a while?


황지아
huh

Yes, we haven't been in touch since that kid left four years ago.


김민주
He came back?


황지아
...?

What kind of new nonsense is this?
