The Bodyguard (A Monsta X Fanfiction)

Chapter Twenty Seven: It Doesn't Translate

"Well, this was fun." I said to Hyungwon as I fastened my seat belt. The date certainly was interesting, and it was more entertaining knowing we had an audience. But now that the dinner was over, I was more than ready to go back to the room and sleep.

"Yeah." Hyungwon nodded. We drove in silence for a while, music playing quietly on the radio. "Oh, I like this song." He added, turning up the volume.

Let's play a little game

Just between you and I

My eyes widened immediately. I recognized this song. It was called Vixen and had very sexually charged lyrics. I froze in my seat, glancing over at Hyungwon. He was oblivious to the meaning of the song, vibing to the soulful  melodies.

Obviously physical

You gotta use your mind

Hyungwon was singing along to the lyrics in broken English, swaying in his seat to the music.

"So." I said,  clearing my throat, trying to talk over the music.

Hyungwon glanced over at me, mouthing the words as he made brief eye contact with me, "But either way the objective is the same . To please and entertain."

I blushed, averting eye contact immediately.

'Miss me with that shit!' I looked out the window, having an internal meltdown, 'Well, he probably doesn't know what it means anyway.'

"Were you going to say something?" Hyungwon pressed, finally turning down the music.

I let out a sigh of relief when that sinner music was done playing. I could breath and speak freely now. I scrambled to find something to talk about. "It's your first time, right? I mean, in Hawaii."

'Ooh, poor choice of words.'

Hyungwon quirked his brow at the stupid question, "Well... it's been fun. Definitely interesting."

"Yep..." I zoned out, "And you got to see a shark up close, that's pretty great! Not most people get to do that."

Well, not most people encounter a shark without a scratch or two.

"I guess..." He muttered, pulling into the valet.

Now that I was in the clear and we were back at the hotel, I started walking into the direction of the elevators. Sleep was calling me. I looked around the lobby, noticing that it was empty since most people were asleep.

"Hold on." Hyungwon said, jogging over to me. "Let's go somewhere for a second."

He led me through the empty lobby, past the vacant pools, all the way to the sandy shores of the beach. The closer we got to the ocean, the louder the crashing of the waves became. I could smell the saltiness of the ocean while looking out at the dark water. We took off our shoes and stood in the water, the small waves crashing over our feet.

"So..." I turned to look at Hyungwon, unsure of why he had led me here.

I enjoyed the ocean and wished I could own a house by the shore in the future, but I wasn't sure if why we were here now. Was Hyungwon trying to see if we could encounter another shark? They were nocturnal, after all. But they were also more aggressive at night.

I looked over at Hyungwon to see his eyes never left mine. While I was looking at the ocean he was looking at me.

"What?" I asked, blushing.

Without saying a word, Hyungwon moved closer to me and leaned closely.

'Oh, he's going to kiss me.' I thought, my eyes closing more the closer he got to me. It was amazing how natural this had become to me in a matter of days. Back in the USA, I had never been kissed. Hyungwon was the first guy I had kissed, granted he was drunk, though.

Our lips melded together, Hyungwon's body pressed closer against mine. My hand reached out and I grasped the front of his shirt.

I pulled away to catch me breath, "H-hold on." I muttered, my words silenced in my throat as his lips attached to mine again. Hyungwon, now feeling bold, combed his hand through my hair. My grip tightened on his shirt, breath hitching in my throat.

I pulled away again, muttering, "What if someone see us?"

Hyungwon rolled his eyes, "I don't care if they do." He pulled me in to the kiss again, his arms now wrapping around my waist tightly, pulling my chest flush against his. Unsure of what to do with my arms, my hands came up to grip his biceps.

'Wow, he's surprisingly aggressive.'


"What are you two doing?"

Hyungwon and I pulled apart at the sound of a familiar voice. It was Kihyun. His voice sounded stern, but his face betrayed that.

"Sorry." I muttered, wiping my lips with the back of my hand. I guess there was really no pretending that Kihyun saw wrong.

This was naive of us. After all, Hyungwon wasn't exactly an average person. He couldn't just kiss anyone anywhere he wanted to. We were lucky it was just Kihyun that spotted us and not a fan. 


Hyungwon looked worried that Kihyun would scold him. I too was worried we'd get in trouble. I waited with baited breath for what Kihyun would say next. He wasn't the leader of the group, but he might as well be as the group's mom.

But instead Kihyun smirked.

"I ship it." He smiled, giving us a thumbs up before turning and going back to the hotel. My eyes followed him as he left, jaw dropped in shock. That wasn't exactly the reaction I was expecting.

I wondered what he was doing out by the beach in the first place.

We both watched Kihyun walk away before turning to each other.

"We should go back..." I said, heart still racing. We had kissed so much, so I should be content with that. But part of me was still itching for more.

Hyungwon nodded, reaching out to hold my hand. Together we walked back to the room and I enjoyed the moment while I still could. Because I knew this couldn't last, tomorrow I would have to set them straight.
