I lay comfortably on my seat while reading a sports magazine. The sun beamed on my tan skin, forming sweat on my forehead.

This was the first time in three months where I could relax without worrying about someone's life in danger. I could release all the stress and peacefully relax on the balcony of my apartment.

That was until someone decided to pay me a visit.

'Please, Taehyung.'

'No, Jaeho.'

'So you're saying you won't protect Mae Aera just because she's a singer?'

I lowered my sunglasses and eyed him, 'I don't do celebrities.'

'$2000 per week,' He stood in front of me with his arms crossed.

I rise from my seat and stand tall against him. 'Look. No matter how much money you offer, I won't do it. Why don't you ask someone else? Like Jungkook, Suga or Jin?'

'Jin was interested, but we heard you were the best.'

I scoffed and looked away. 'That's not true.'

'Taehyung, please. Aera is a beautiful, bright young lady. Please, don't let someone like her go to waste. She begged me to get you. Please.'

I averted my eyes to the ocean. It was going to be difficult but when was life easy? It wasn't.

After a few moments, I sighed and nodded.

Jaeho grinned and moved forward to give me a hug. 'Thank you, Taehyung.'

I raised my hand and stopped his movements.

'But on one condition...

...$4000 per week.'
