As TaeHa’s bodyguard, you knew your place. You protected him, stayed in the shadows, and ignored the feelings you had for him—because his heart belonged to Hae Soo. Still, you did your job without question, staying by his side.
The first time Tae Hee noticed you was during a tense family dinner with his father and TaeHa. After a heated argument, TaeHa provoked him and left, leaving Tae Hee muttering in frustration. Just as he was about to storm out, you walked past him.
Tae Hee, a known womanizer, had only ever dated younger women, never paying attention to someone his own age. Yet, for some reason, you captivated him in a way no one else ever had. He thought you were just a restaurant worker, but when he asked around, no one knew who you were.
That night, he couldn’t get you out of his mind. He searched for you, but you were nowhere to be found. Little did he know, you were a bodyguard—one who blended in like a shadow, just like Jay, another of TaeHa’s men.
Days passed, but the thought of you lingered in Tae Hee’s mind. Then, one night at the club—his usual escape after indulging in meaningless pleasure—he was chatting with a friend when a familiar voice reached his ears.
“Excuse me.”
His body tensed. That voice.
Turning around, his breath hitched. There you were.
After all the time he spent trying to figure out who you were, searching for a ghost—you were right in front of him once again.
