I’m the bodyguard
That afternoon she left Mina at the hospital once Jihyo arrived with her wife and Mina was right. She was scary and Dahyun had dealt with many scary people in her past but nothing prepared nor compared to the screaming woman barging in almost breaking the hospital door.
“MYOUI MINA!!”
“You called Jihyo?! I told you not to” Dahyun saw how Mina looked at her feeling betrayed and tried to shoot her a glaring look but managed to only look like a little kid about to get scolded by their mother.
“Hey Satang!! How are you?” sending a sheepish look to the enraged woman in front of her.
“Don't ‘Hey Satang’ me! How am I?! How do you think I am after getting a call that my best friend was shot.” Mina was sure everyone could hear her screaming all the way to Japan.
“That's a bit dramatic. I was barely grazed.”
“They did take a bullet out of your arm. I think it counts as being shot.” Dahyun took Mina and Sana’s glaring eyes as her queve to slip out of the room with Jihyo in tow.
There was some more screaming heard after they left some coming from mina and some from sana but at that point Dahyun was not sure if it was from the pain of being shot or from the hits Sana was definitely throwing
Dahyun knew this whole thing was odd and something told her they had made this personal for her as well.
“So will you take the job?” Jihyo asked as soon as they were far from the screaming.
“Only until I find those bastards.” Dahyun had a weird look in her eyes and it worried Jihyo a bit as she wasn't sure whether that look was good or bad. But she also seemed determined and that was good enough to put her at ease regarding her friends safety.
She decided to go back to scope the area and see if she could find anything.
Chaeyoung tagged along as soon as she heard of what had happened earlier, Dahyun had to call on a few favors. she saw there had been some cameras that she hoped caught the guy that shot Mina.
“Does Irene Unnie know you have a side job?” Dahyun said squinting at the screen in front of them
“Of course as long as I don't do anything illegal, err too illegal and doesn’t interfere with her business .” The person responded without even a glance towards Dahyun
“Were you able to find anything about what I asked earlier?”
Dahyun asked as she pulled one of the chairs closer to the screens
“Hyun you hurt me with your doubt, who’s the munchkin?” She said as she finally looked up and saw two pairs of eyes instead of one.
“Hey!!” Chae protested at being called a munchkin
“This is Chaeyoung a-uh friend.” Dahyun said at the same time ignoring her protest.
“Ah yes I have some info but I will need more time to dig deeper.” The taller said as she turned once again to her computer and started typing.
“Soi was able to identify the guy that shot at you, he is a felon and is wanted for a long list of crimes. He does some work for the east side gang but for the most part you could say he works freelance.” Jeong continued
“So it’s possible that the orders came from that gang or someone else?” Chaeyoung asked
“Can you print a picture of him for me? Also ask around in your groups to see if you can find any more information please”Dahyun started to instruct “Kid looks like you’ll have hands -on training today.”
“Yes! I’m ready boss!” The young one responded eagerly at the prospect of kicking some but after all the training she has gone with her new found bro.
After the talk with Jeongyeon and a wardrobe change Dahyun and Chaeyoung headed towards some warehouses outside of town where Dahyun knew she could find some information either voluntarily or not.
“I can’t believe we will be kicking some ass and you won’t have your legendary plaid pants, although with these suits we look pretty damn good!” Chaeyoung couldn’t stop talking from how excited she was if Dahyun didn’t know where they were headed she would think the girl is going to an amusement park and not to beat up thugs
While Dahyun didn’t say much on the drive she was coming up with a plan and a backup plan she never had to have one but she was allowing Chae to come so she had to have one so the girl didn’t get hurt and also what to tell her aunt about stealing her car because Irene was gonna be pissed.
After letting Chaeyoung on the plan and making a call she was ready for whatever happened there.
You broke a confidentiality agreement by telling Jihyo what happened. More importantly, you betrayed me. Now I’m in more pain about Sana’s beating than the actual gunshot.
Where are you Dahyun-ah? You're my bodyguard. You should be guarding me at all times. It's in your contract. I will have to deduct from your paycheck the time you are not here:(
A text from Mina stopped her momentarily with a faint smile that didn’t go unnoticed by Chaeyoung and an eye roll. She sent her a quick reply and continued with her plan.
Rest. I will be there soon.
Dahyun drove Irene’s car into the warehouse interrupting some poor guys torture just his luck. Dahyun got out of the car inspecting how many guys she had to fight.
“Oops sorry i didn’t mean to interrupt” Dahyun walked around to sit at the hood of the car “but now that I’m here I have a few questions.”
All the men started laughing
“I think the princess lost her way to the ball.”
One of the thing said as he got closer to her
“But no worries, you can have some fun with us”
As soon as the man’s finger touched Dahyun’s face Chaeyoung knew it was over for him.
Dahyun grabbed the man’s hand seconds after it touched her face, bending it backwards making the man double in pain.
“Now, now I was in good spirits but now you have pissed me off.” She continued to push his arm pulling him to his feet as the rest of the men came up to her with knives, sticks and anything they could find.
She used the man as a shield blocking the hits of the sticks and pipes, throwing kicks and punches soon after dropping the man. They started to come at her all at once and that’s when Chaeyoung stepped in helping Dahyun as much as she could, knocking and beating most of them. She stopped after sending the last one flying into a wall And some were still conscious “so can I ask the question before all of you become unconscious?”
After only hearing grunts from them she called Chaeyoung to bring in the briefcase.
“Who are you? The leader of the thugs asked.
“Not important at the moment, where can I find this man? Do you know who he is working for?”
“Why should we tell you anything?” He spat at her.
Dahyun lowers herself to be at eye level with him, giving him a hard slap.
“Because I can do that.” slap “and that” she gave him one last punch before loosening her tie and undoing the buttons of her shirt just enough for the man to see the tattoo on her chest making his eyes wide with terror.
He scrambled to get on his knees the rest of his men following his order.
“I…I- Im sorry ma’am can I see can i see the picture again.” Chaeyoung went around to all the men handing them a picture as well they had made copies with a phone number in the back.
Dahyun dragged a chair in front of the man and took a seat “Tell me all you know about him” she said in a small growl that it even made Chaeyoung’s skin crawl as she hadn’t seen this side of Dahyun.
“He doesn’t work exclusively for anyone even tho many gangs have tried to recruit him he declines most of his jobs are for high end people most foreigners but he will take a job every now and then from the east side gang”
“He is also a foreigner not sure from where, he spends a lot of time in the VIP area in clubs, mostly the underground ones.” Another guy chipped in.
“See, all this mess could have been avoided if we had just talked from the beginning.”
“Now you all got a copy of his picture. I want you all to memorize it and engrave it into your brain. There is a number at the back. I want you to report to me every move he makes and his whereabouts, you will be rewarded for the information am I clear!.” Dahyun finished
“Yes ma’am!” They all stood and saluted in unison
“Kid let’s go!” Dahyun called out as she walked towards the car and got in.
“That was…so cool and you are such a badass!! He saw his entire life flash by his eyes when you got close to him. What did you show him? oh man I want to be like you” If Chaeyounv was excited on the way there she was even more so now.
Dahyun could help but feel smug about the praise she was getting albeit not about the best thing to be praised about but still.
“KIM DAHYUN! What have you done to my precious baby! I have told you not to touch my cars without my permission! And even more to take care of them” Dahyun knew this was coming, granted she could have avoided the damage but that would have reduced her cool entrance . It was whether she faced Irene now or later even though she would have liked never she knew that facing her now was the best option.
But she was prepared this time as she had stopped by to grab Irene’s favorite food and dessert she knew it helped diminish her anger somewhat.
“I brought you dinner.” Dahyun cut off Irene with her peace offering and a big gummy smile.
“Don’t think this will distract me, did you fight again? Are you okay?.” Irene’s expression changed after noticing the cuts and bruises on her face.
“I’m fine unnie you should see the other guys.” She brushed it off with a laugh but knew she had to reassure her even though she was the leader of a big gangster organization when it came to Dahyun Irene cold demeanor was replaced with love and worry. “Don’t worry I’m seriously okay, just comes with the new job.”
At the mention of the new job Irene slapped her arms“speaking of I heard you got shot at why does it seem like you are in more danger now than before” getting a hit in after every word said.
“Ahh unnie” she whined at the pain “it’s part of the job plus it was not directed at me wait how did you find out never mind I don’t want to know.”
“Anyways I’ll head out. I'll see you next time please eat and stop skipping meals unnie I worry about you.”
She bid her good night living hurriedly before she remembered the damaged car and started scolding her for it even if She knew she didn’t mean it most of it at least.
She headed back to the hospital, sneaking into Mina’s room hoping for the older to be already asleep and to hopefully not wake her,but luck was not on her side as she pushed the door a little too hard , scaring Mina awake.
“Sorry.”she apologized sheepishly
Once Mina's eyes focused the first thing she noticed we’re the cuts on Dahyun’s face making her get up from the bed forgetting about her own pain.
“What happened to you?”
“Does my face look so bad that everyone keeps asking me that?”
Mina rolled her eyes walking away into the hallway but soon she was back with bandages and antiseptic wipes to clean the cuts. Mina pushed her to sit on the bed while she cleaned her cuts with the most delicate touch not wanting to hurt her even more.
Silence filled the room as Mina worked on the cuts. Even though it was a comfortable silence Dahyun felt the need to break with an apology.
“I’m sorry I should be the one taking care of you, not the other way around.”
Mina just hummed in acknowledgment and just continued dabbing the antiseptic wipe.after what felt like ages Mina responded.
“Stop getting hurt please”
“It’s my job I should be the one taking bullets for you. I should be protecting you. I'm the bodyguard not you so please don’t do that again.” Dahyun’s voice broke at the last part she grabbed Mina's hand stopping her and making her look her in the eyes.
