whats with the pants?
“When can you start?” Jihyo asked the flustered girl, she could feel Mina’s eyes on her but decided to ignore her for now. She wasn't sure what Mina’s response was gonna be but she decided to take matters into her hands.
“How about tomorrow can you come in at 9 to this address.”Seeing as no response came, Jihyo took the lead and shoved a business card at the girl.
“She will be there!” and really anyone hearing the conversation would think it was just a conversation between Jihyo and Chaeyoung as the other two were still trying to understand what was happening.
Mina and Dahyun were both pulled away by their respective friends going their separate ways for now.
Minas was quiet really quiet and it was enerving Jihyo, she's probably planning her death maybe she can send Sana a text to pack some of their stuff and meet her at the airport escape to Mexico and change all of their names and just run a small bakery after all Tzuyu loves bread, but before her mind could spiral out of control even more.
“Thank you but I told you I don't need a bodyguard.” Mina’s deep voice came
It made Jihyo’s skin crawl but she was not gonna back down
“Mina at this point I don't care what you say you will get one clearly these people are stepping up their game and you are in danger.”
Mina was quiet for the rest of the ride home; she didn't want to get her hopes up of Dahyun actually taking the offer and Mina having time to get to know the girl, she also didn't want Jihyo to know at least yet of what she was feeling as she was not sure herself.
Chaeyoung seemed to like living life on the edge. She knew what Dahyun was capable of and even if she had saved her and trusted her there really isn't anything stopping her from punching all her teeth out.
“Chaeyoung!” The deep voice calling her name instead of her nickname made her want to run and hide in one of the cells at Nayeon’s precinct.
“That’s my name yep… sorry but I know how bummed you have been about finding a job and maybe that would be a good opportunity .”
“I'm not sure Chae, I mean we don't know this woman what does she need protecting from is she a bad person that people are after her maybe she is part of a gang I definitely do not want to go back to that and I don't want to be protecting a bad person as pretty and nice she may seem.”
“I don't think she is a bad person, maybe she is being attacked because she won't give up her secret formula, or maybe she is like a famous person that we don't know her aura definitely did not give super creepy ‘i will have my men kill you and all your family’ kind of vibes.”
“And the card says Miyoui Corp hmm that sounds familiar.” Chaeyoung tried to think where she had seen or heard the name from but could not think of anything.
“Look let's go check it out tomorrow see what exactly they want from you and then you can decide yeah?”
“Fine.” Dahyun was left with her thoughts on what tomorrow could bring.
“What happened out there?”
“I-i'm sorry boss this girl got in the way of my guy before he could do anything to Miyoui, she is the one that sent all of our men to the hospital a few weeks ago and stopped the other guys from collecting out money from the old man.” the scranny man on the floor said as he pulled out an envelope with pictures.
“So you're telling me this tiny woman beat a bunch of my guys and is the one stopping everyone from doing their job and collecting my money.” The last words came with a few punches and kicks to the other man until he was barely able to get up again.
“I don't care how you do it but make sure Miyoui gets the message you were supposed to deliver before we can move on with the plan. I don't want any more mistakes.” the man threw the pictures at the other and if they had been knifes the guy would have been dead in that instance “and don't come back here unless you have done your job. Got it!”
With that the man scurried out of the office to tend to his wounds and get the information, he didn't want his body to be dragged out the next time he showed up to this office.
The man inside had to get someone else as he wasn't sure of the incompetent guy that just left and he needed to know who this girl was and why she was so brazen about getting involved in other people's business
So he now had to call on his best man to get the job done. He dialed a phone, a voice answering ready to receive orders, “I want you to find out all you can about this bitch playing a hero in my town.”
The next day Dahyun showed up at the address on the card with a very eager Chaeyoung in tow they really didn't know what to expect but certainly not this big building in front of them, it was intimidating in a way and Dahyun knows all about intimidating.
They were now in front of one of the employee's desks and now there was definitely no turning back as Dahyun heard Chaeyoung talking to the girl.
“Hello, she is here to see..” Chaeyoung patted Dahyun for the business card she had been given as she forgot the name” Jihyo...Park Jihyo?”
“Vice President Park? What are your names?”
Dahyun was kinda hoping the girl would look down on them and just call security to kick them out after all they definitely did not look like they belonged here but of course,, she had to be a nice person and not call security and actually give both of them a badge and tell them where to go.
If Chaeyoung didn't resemble an excited puppy before she definitely did now the elevator ride seemed like it would take ages as it seemed they were heading for the top but they view was definitely something she could enjoy even if none of this worked out I mean who just goes around and hands jobs with no information for all they know Dahyun could be a bad person.
Dahyun didn't realize she had been thinking out loud but until Chaeyoung answered her thoughts “If you were a bad person you would not have helped that woman yesterday or helped me that night or after that”
“But I used to be.”
Chaeyoung still didn't know much about her past but she knew the Dahyun now and she was nothing but a kind soul. Maybe she had been lost before but now she is trying to do the right thing.
Before she could get another word out the doors opened at the top floor and were greeted by Jihyo.
“Hello ladies, please come with me. Would you like anything to drink or to eat.”
“No, we are fine.”
“What do you have?”
Both Chaeyoung and Dahyun answered the latter by throwing a look at the younger to which she just ignored.
“Here we are, Mina got a visitor for you.” Jihyo knew she was pushing it now but she was kinda enjoying the fluster Mina it had been a while.
“I-Yes come in.” Mina came around her desk to greet the said visitor.
“Why don't I show you around and take you to the cafeteria while Dahyun and Mina talk.”
“Oh, that sounds great. I saw some interesting from the elevator.” Jihyo left with an even more excited Chaeyoung.
“Hey” for being a CEO and having done many presentations in front of thousands of people, she is sure no one would believe any of that at this moment with how awkward she seemed.
“How are you doing like the wounds and stuff.”
“I got them treated yesterday and all so they are good but here please have a seat.” Mina led her towards the sofa.
“I just want to say to you, I don't want you to feel obligated to accept this offer only if you want to and are comfortable, I'm also not a mob boss or anything like that in my company and everything I do is legit.”
Dahyun couldn't help to chuckle at that it also helped to ease her nerves
“I don't know, it's such a nice building. I may have my doubts plus you were also pretty scary yesterday.”
“Oh please, yesterday was pure bluff. I can be scarier if needed.” Mina said with a gummy to her smile
“I don't think you are making a great point here about not being a mob boss.”
“That proves nothing, anyways shall we talk business now.”
“Hmm we’ll see I guess, but sure.” Dahyun was impressed at how Mina could go from awkward to a cute dork to business mode all in the span of seconds
“So as per Jihyo's insistence i need a bodyguard but I don't like the idea of having someone follow me at all times or just standing there waiting for ‘danger’ but due to yesterday events it's non-negotiable for my safety or whatnot I'll go more into detail if you decide to take the position.”
Mina paused to let Dahyun take in the information given.
“This would also not be just a regular bodyguard position it would be disguised more as a personal assistant and also as a self defense teacher but you are not obligated to take either.”
“I don't know if I'm cut out to be a personal assistant or bodyguard at all. Honestly, I have no experience as a self-defense teacher. I can help but the rest I don't know.”
“I think you would be perfect for the job.”
“I also want to mention before we get ahead of ourselves here I've recently got out of jail it wasn't nothing too big and you may not be mob boss but I was part of a gang but I'm not anymore I promise.” Dahyun rushed the last part she wasn't sure if she was gonna take the job but she also didn't want to leave a bad impression on Mina.
“I-um i know.” Mina gave her an apologetic look but Jihyo and her needed to know who they were exactly offering a job to.
“You know?”
“Yes sorry Jihyo did a background check on you but like you know just a professional one like any person offering you a job would nothing deep or in a creepy way i promi-.”
“And you still offered the job to me?”
“Yes? I didn't see any problems with it and you have seemed like you have the basic skills for a bodyguard the rest well we can work on it as we go that is if you accept.”
Dahyun felt like she was dreaming there was no possible way this woman was offering her a job after knowing her background and them really being strangers.
“If I'm being honest here too you intrigue me .”
“What? I what.”
That's all it took for Dahyn to short circuit
“Here how you think about it and let me know in a few days everything in this packet explains a bit more on the job benefits and pay.”
Dahyun took the big envelope with the contract. She could at least think about it and again it's not like she had job offers raining on her.
Few days went by, she had received a few text messages from Mina after they exchanged numbers for the pure reason that if Dahyun had any questions with the contract which she had answered but today it had been different she asked her to meet her at the park for whatever reason.
Mina decided to go for a jog at the park when she got the idea to text Dahyun to meet her there she had answered questions the girl had regarding the contract but she was getting the thought that Dahyun was too sure about accepting so she thought maybe they spent some time together and got to know each other a bit it would ease any worry they girl may have.
She had done a few laps by the time she spotted Dahyun arriving in her signature checkered pants but as she was making her way towards her she spotted the suspicious man behind her as he was pulling a gun from his back pointing it at Dahyun she ran towards the girl pushing her to the side as the man fired the gun but luckily missing and instead hitting Mina on the arm as they both fell to the floor to avoid any more bullets.
The man took off running knowing the noise from the shots would grab attention from people.
Dahyun tried to run towards him but gave up instead choosing to stay with Mina.
“Mina are you okay.”
“You know it's you who is supposed to be doing the protecting not the other way around.”
“Technically I haven't accepted yet.”
“Yet? That means you are accepting it then.” Mina could help the loud yelp as the adrenaline rush was coming to an end and she could feel the pain.
“We should get you to the hospital and we can talk about this later.”
“It's okay, it's not that bad.”
“Come on, where is your car? I'll drive you to the hospital.”
Dahyun pulled Mina to her feet, with the latter leaning her weight on Dahyun as they made their way to the car she knew it wasn't a deep wound but Mina was enjoying being close to DAhyun and she might as well enjoy it while she can.
“Please don't tell Jihyo about this yet she will not take it well she will tell Sana and Momo well that's not gonna end well.”
“Sana? Momo??”
“JIhyo’s wife and our other best friend all three are like sisters to me and you already saw how protective Jihyo is of me. Well, Sana and Momo can go a little overboard and i will not hear the end of it.”
For some reason Dahyun felt relieved knowing this information about Jihyo and now Sana and Momo.
“Hmm, it seems you are more scared of your friends than all the people out there trying to kill you.”
“Well once you meet them you will understand. But I'm not sure if thi- ``. Mina didn't finish her sentence as Dahyun did a rough turn making her arm collide with the side of the door and causing pain and maybe she added some yelps for dramatics but Dahyun didn't need to know that.
“Ahh! Dahyun that hurts, is this how I die!? In the hands of your driving.”
“Sorry! Not my fault the streets are built like that ”
“Are you sure you even know how to drive?”
“Hey! I just haven't done it in a while.”
Mina enjoyed teasing the younger girl and it was becoming her new favorite thing.
“Can I ask what's with the pants?” Mina was genuinely curious about the fashion choice.
They arrived at the hospital soon after leaving Mina with no answer to her curiosity and she was taken by the nurse to get her checked out, Dahyun took the chance now to call Jihyo as she figures Mina must face her at one point.
