It was a peaceful morning. Everyone in the bodyguard resting area was minding their own business, drinking their coffee and enjoying the silence.
“…why is it so quiet today?” Namjoon asked, finally looking up from his phone, scanning the area.
“Well, maybe that’s because-
“HELLO MY FELLOW COLLEAGUES. IT IS I, YOUR MOST FAVOURITE FRIEND OF ALL TIME, KIM JISOO.” jisoo screamed while she slammed open the door, interrupting yoongi.
“As I was saying, before you rudely interrupted me, maybe that’s because a certain loud and annoying brunette isn’t here yet.” Yoongi said, glaring at jisoo.
“Ok. Enough. No need to bicker at this time. It’s only 650 in the fucking morning. I’m not ready for this shit.” Jihyo interrupted the duos bickering. “And who’s the new girl behind you?”
“Oh! Guys! We have a new recruit!” Jisoo introduced while pointing at the latter.
“Hello. I’m Chou tzuyu. I’m from Taiwan. Nice to meet you.” The girl said, bowing after the introduction.
“Nice to meet you too! How old are you?” Nayeon asks, finally sitting up from the couch.
“I’m 21.”
“Holy shit! She’s just a baby!” Jihyo and Nayeon exclaimed together.
“Uh…I’m not a baby.” Tzuyu defended.
Was her being 170cm tall not obvious enough?
“It’s fine tzu. They’re like this when they find a new baby of the group aka the youngest. So if there’s no one else coming into our group and isn’t younger than you, you’re now officially our baby.” Jisoo explained.
“Anyway, nice to meet you, I’m Im Nayeon.”
“I’m park Jihyo, the mom of this group.”
“Taiwan huh…if we have some free time, could you teach me some mandarin? I’ve been dying to learn that language. I’m namjoon, by the way and the dude that was quarrelling with ji is min yoongi.”
Tzuyu nodded with hesitation, “I’ve never really taught anyone before but I will try my best.”
“Alright! Now, let’s give our tzu a tour around the building!” Jisoo declared.
“Ugh…I’m so tired…” momo whined as she leaned on the elevator walls.
“Well…if you did your work on time without procrastinating, you wouldn’t have to pull an all nighter mo.” Mina pointed out as she calmly took a sip of her iced coffee.
“Not everyone’s as responsible as you mitang.” Sana says as she walked out of the lift, eyes stuck on her phone.
“Hey! I’m responsible too you know!”
“Sure…and I’m-
Sana accidentally bumped into a girl with brunette hair. And her clumsy ass just had to slip on her own feet.
“Are you alright?” The girl asked as she grabs Sana by the shoulder, successfully stopping the latter from falling.
“Ah…yes…”
‘Fuck. She’s so pretty.’
“Oh? Good job, tzu! You saved her! Morning Sana! Glad we didn’t have an accident first thing in the morning.” Jisoo greeted while patting tzuyu’s back.
“I didn’t really save her…” tzuyu said as she slowly removed her hands off Sana’s shoulders.
“But it was a good job done. Your reaction was really quick!” Nayeon praised as she ruffled the younger girls hair.
“Now, let’s continue our tour!” Jisoo chirped.
“Uh…Sana?” Momo asked as she waved her hand up and down in front of Sana’s face.
“She’s broken.” Mina stated.
“Yeah. Definitely.” Momo agreed wholeheartedly.
“Who’s that?” Sana asked as her brain finally came back to life.
“I’m not sure but they called her Tzu. I’m assuming she’s the new recruit that rosé was talking about.” Mina stated as they walked out of the lift.
“She doesn’t seem Korean though. Neither does her name sound Korean.” Momo added.
“Unnie…who’s that?” Tzuyu asked as jisoo showed her the pantry.
“Minatozaki sana! She’s really nice and sweet.” Jisoo replied.
“A total extrovert and really thoughtful.” Namjoon added.
“Anyway, this is where you’ll be. Don’t worry, you won’t be alone! You’ll have me!” Jisoo cheerfully said before continuing to explain to tzuyu what they were supposed to do and their schedule.
“That’s about all, any questions Tzu?” Jisoo asked, making sure the youngest knew what to do.
Tzuyu slowly nodded her head and thanked jisoo for helping her.
“Anyway, duty starts at 8, we still have 30 more minutes, have you eaten?” Nayeon questioned the taller girl as she turned towards the lift.
“Not yet…”
“Don’t worry! There’s tons of bread at the pantry! I’ll make you a drink too! Coffee or te- ouch.”
Before jisoo could even finish her sentence, she accidentally knocked into a blond woman with chubby cheeks who just came out of the lift.
“Oh my god, I’m so sorry Soo, are you ok? I didn’t see you.”
Suddenly, the cheerful and loud personality that jisoo had was gone.
“No. I’m fine ms Park. Are you alright?” Jisoo asked with a straight face, not even smiling at the blond woman.
“Sigh, Soo, I already told you, it’s not necessary to be so formal with me when it’s not working hours….”
“Please don’t call me Soo, ms Park.”
Tzuyu was surprise at the amount of seriousness in jisoo’s voice, it was totally different from what she had seen for the past few minutes.
“Sigh, alright…I’ll see you later for dinner?”
“Yes. See you later ms Park.”
Ms Park jus shook her head and went into the office.
“And that’s park chaeyoung, ceo of the company.” Yoongi introduced.
“Jisoo’s girlfriend.” Nayeon added.
“WHAT?!”
“Woah woah calm down Tzu, it’s not that big of a deal. I mean unless you’re homophobic or something.” Nayeon said after hearing tzuy scream.
“No no I’m not homophobic. I’m bi. It’s just…the way jisoo talked to ms Park was so…different.”
Jisoo sighed and explained, “hey don’t get me wrong. I’m not ashamed of our relationship or anything it’s just…she’s a ceo you know? And I’m just a body guard that’s been with her since she’s a child, but our status…it’s too different. Her parents hate the idea of commoners getting close to chaengie…if they knew we were dating, I’m sure they wouldn’t let it slide and I don’t want to risk it.”
“Wow…that’s…you’re such a great girlfriend jisoo unnie.” Tzuyu praised, surprised by the amount of caution jisoo took just to be with her lover.
Jisoo turned red when she heard a praise from the youngest, “Aw Tzu it’s nothing…anyway, we took too much time! We need to get to work! Let’s go!”
“Ugh do we have to…” nayeon complained.
“Man shut up at least you don’t have to meet an annoying orange haired guy that keeps talking to you.” Yoongi replied.
Jihyo rolled her eyes and shot back, “please, you like that guys company.”
“TO WORK GUYS.” Namjoon shouted.
“Jisoo unnie!” Mina shouted as she ran towards the two bodyguards standing at the side of the door.
“What happened?”
“Momoring…she..she….”
“She??”
“She broke the microwave.”
Tzuyu stared at Mina in shock.
“…it exploded.” Mina continued.
“Ain’t no fucking way.” Both the bodyguards said together.
“So..yeah we need your help to come clean the mess and fix it.”
“Alright I’ll go check. Is momo alright? Tzuyu, stay here, I’ll attend to the matter.”
As soon as the both of them went to the staff pantry, sana quite literally popped out of tzuyu’s left side and successfully scared the living shit out of tzuyu.
“Hi! Uh…I’m sana!”
“I..know?”
“Oh…erm well…I just wanted to apologise to you…I didn’t mean to bump into you and not apologise.”
“No, it’s fine ms sana, I did not get hurt or anything and it was just a light bump.”
“But still…I feel bad…” sana said as she pouted.
‘Cute…’ tzuyu thought.
“Please, it’s really no big deal. You don’t need to feel bad.”
“At least let me bring you go out to eat for dinner as a sign of apology?”
“Like I said ms sana, it’s fine.”
“Please?”
“It’s alright.”
And there they spent, 15 minutes wasted, sana insisting that she treated tzuyu a meal after work and tzuyu kindly rejecting her.
“Pleaseeeeeee”
“Ms sana, I’ve already told you more than 70 times, it’s not that big of a deal and you don’t need to treat me.”
“You suck.”
“I get that a lot.”
“Alright. Let’s make a deal.”
Tzuyu raised her eyebrows, urging sana to continue.
“I’ll stop bothering you.”
“You weren’t bothering me though.”
“Eh?”
‘What the fuck Chou tzuyu?! The fuck was that?!’ Tzuyu cursed in her head, the tip of her ears turning red.
Sana giggled before continuing, “ah, you’re so cute! Anyway, I’ll stop asking you to treat me.”
“Mhm?”
“If you give me your number and Instagram.”
Tzuyu was confused but she agreed anyway, thinking that it was better than sana insisting to treat her to a dinner.
“Sure, I guess?”
“Alright! Thanks! I’ll text you tonight. Don’t leave me on read ok?” Sana said as she winked at tzuyu before walking back to the office.
‘…what…was that?’
Meanwhile…
“Guys I’m back!” Sana said as she stepped into the pantry.
“Thanks jisoo! Sorry we kept you here for 20 minutes.” Momo apologised.
“It’s no biggie. Anything for sana’s love life.” Jisoo said, smirking at sana as she walked out of the door.
“So how did it go sana chan??” Mina asked curiously.
“Yeah, did you get it?”
“I fucking got it guys! She gave me her number and Instagram!!!” Sana squealed as she waved her phone in front of the 2 Japanese faces.
