The Bodyguard (A Monsta X Fanfiction)

Prologue 3: Back and I'm Better

It wasn't difficult getting my job back as Monsta X's bodyguard. The boys kept the kidnapping a secret from their manager, somehow. So the company had no issue with me coming back to Korea and reclaiming my job. As far as Staship knew, I took a break to live life back in America for a while. Starship also didn't keep track of American news, so they had no idea I was given a medal.

My biggest accomplishment didn't follow me back to Korea, no one would know I am a legend back in the US, I was just a lousy Joe-shmo here, but somehow I'm okay with that.

"I just wish you had given us a heads-up before taking a break," The manager muttered as I stood in front of his desk, "But since we couldn't find a new bodyguard that's as good as you... you can have your job back. Your contact hasn't expired yet, anyway."

"Perfect," I smiled.

"I assume you're ready to move back in with the boys immediately?" He asked, typing away at his laptop uninterestedly.

I nodded. All of my stuff was packed and waiting for me at The Hilton.

"I'll text you the new address," the manager explained, taking out his phone.

"New address?" I asked, brow raised.

"Yeah, the boys moved." He replied.

My phone binged and I looked down at my screen to see that the new apartment was much closer to the heart of Seoul. That meant we could have a lot more fun... but it also meant there was a higher chance of Monsta X being mobbed my fans daily.

After practice, the guys would meet me at the new apartment. So I took a taxi back to my hotel room and packed up all of my stuff into my two, large suitcases.

I hailed a taxi in the busy Seoul night, and after a long wait; one finally rolled up. I put my stuff into the trunk before getting into the back seat.

Once I had my seat belt on (safety first!), I gave the address to the taxi driver. He chuckled as he pulled away from the curb, "You're not a sasaeng, are you?" He asked.

"Sasaeng?" I asked, recoiling at the term, "No. Why?"

"That's the address to the  celebrity apartment complex," the old man explained, looking at me through the review mirror, "I've had plenty of sasaengs ask me to take them there. Not one fan has ended up getting inside. You don't know celebrities... do you?"

'Should I explain to him that I'm a bodyguard?'

No, he wouldn't understand.

So instead I changed the subject until we pulled up to the complex. I gaped at the luxury high-rise.

'The boys live here now?'

I smiled.

If this was a celebrity apartment building, then that means that Monsta X has made it. I stepped out of the car, lugging my bags behind me as I stepped up to the building. A pair of security guards stood at the entrance, holding back fans. Eventually, I manager to push to the front of the pack.

The guards waved me away until I handed them my key card that proved that I live here too.

"Right this way, miss." The security guard said, opening the door to me.

I walked into the apartment building, marveling in awe at the beautiful entryway.

'Snap out of it, Jiyeon. We've got to find the apartment...'

I stopped at the elevator, scanning my card so the doors would slide open. When I stepped inside, the button was already lit and prepared to take me to the twentieth level. Soon the doors slid opened and revealed a wide hallway.
