The Bodyguard (A Monsta X Fanfiction)

Wonho

Wonho POV

I watched Jiyeon as she sat in the crowd of trainees, watching our rehearsal. She looked tired, probably from the stress of having to upend her life to move from America to Korea. But nevertheless, I'm just happy she's back. Something about her seemed to brighten up our lives.

A smile spread across my face as I adjusted my ear piece mindlessly.

If she was watching this rehearsal, then I would have to do extra well.

"Ok, you guys are on for rehearsal in 3, 2, 1." A member of the staff called over the intercom. Then the song started playing.

We went through rehearsal for Shoot Out, and I put in as much power as possible. Which, for a rehearsal, is pretty out of pocket. Most idols save their energy for the real performance, but I have someone to impress today. As the song came to a close, and I did my signature shooting ending, staring intensely at where the camera would be. I took a moment to catch my breath before glancing over at where Jiyeon sat... or, at least, where she was sitting a couple seconds ago.

'Where'd she go?' I thought, searching the row of seats.

Jiyeon disappeared, leaving behind a group of rookie idols and other girl groups.

I let out a sigh, hanging my head as I followed after the group to go backstage. I was disappointed she missed out on seeing the rehearsal.

'Hopefully she can see the stage later, then...'

Jiyeon hadn't seen us perform Shoot Out yet, it was a new song. We were all waiting with anticipation for her to watch the new performance. I felt like this song showed a new side of me, a side that I wanted her to see.

Now we had our chance to take a break. So I walked over to set a drink of water, Jiyeon remaining in the back of my mind.

Ever since she came back to Korea, I've been itching to tell her about my feelings again.

I mean, I'm pretty sure I love her.

Sure, Jiye put me, and everyone else, into a very dangerous situation. We were all kidnapped, something I never imagined would happen to me. And I've never been more stressed out in my life. Sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, dreaming about when we all had to run like mad through the forests to get to save her.

Despite all the stress she caused, Jiyeon is still the most beautiful, strongest woman I've ever met in my life.

I'll wait for her forever if I have to.

"Sunbaenim." I glanced up from my water to see a rookie girl group member calling my name excitedly.

She was clearly giddy, clutching on to a sandwich.

'This again?' I thought, sighing inwardly.

Since we returned from our world tour, girls have been hitting on us left and right. It was impossible to go to a show without being asked out. In the past, the girls weren't nearly as tenacious, and most of them kept their crushes secret. Now they've grown confident enough to make the first move. And it was difficult for me, because I hated having to turn people down. I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

I forced a smile at the girl, not wanting to be rude.

"Your rehearsal was really good. You must be hungery," She smiled before sticking her hand out to give me the sandwich, "Here."

I stared at the snack for a moment. Debating whether or not to take the food. I didn't want to lead her on, or anything like that...

But I was hungry, so why not?
