Foreword

My first fanfic on AFF (originally posted on AO3) - hopefully I am doing this right
By complete chance, I happened to catch a rerun of "The Bodyguard" with Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner on TV (and enjoyed the classic... despite being more of a "bang bang/boom" action film kind of guy lol) and then a rabid plot bunny bit me and refused to let go until this thing got plotted out
So please enjoy, please be kind and please leave comments/upvotes - would love to hear your thoughts!

I am also not a big fan of having to describe characters laboriously... so here are some pictures to get an idea of what 'era' the characters are drawn from:

 

Kim Yongsun/Solar

Solar

 

Moonbyul

 

Jung Wheein

 

Ahn Hyejin/Hwasa

 

Eric Nam

 

Bae Irene/Joohyun

 

Kang Seulgi

 

Son Wendy

 

Kim Yerim/Yeri and Kim Heechul

Chapter 27: Wow this was such a good read that I finished all of it in a day. The story was written so well! I’m kinda glad that I’m late to reading AUs/Fanfics because it meant I didnt have to wait for this story to be finished. Thank you for sharing your talent with us, Authornim! 🙌

Chapter 28: Just finished the story and damn it's been a ride! I wasn't expecting the whole plot twist about Eric and his actions. Also I love the back and forth between moonsun, it was painful at times but it paid off haha

Thank you for your story. Time to read the sequel now!

Chapter 28: i'm glad I came across this fanfic of yours! The Title and the nature of the story may have been taken from a movie of the same title but, it was definitely an original and like the original, it was awesome! I like how you have develope each character in connection with the main, which was moonsun! Ah! It was well thought of, well written! And thanks for every notes in the end of each chapter; it was helpful in a way! I will look on the Prequel/sequel of this one! And thanks for making nice story that will glued you from your seat, until you slept it out or need to have a break or end of story; that effect! Thanks again! Fighting! So, nice; really!👍😍

Chapter 28: I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story: a self-contained plot that doesn't burden itself with the constraints of realism and manages to focus on the couple's developing romance. Honestly I'm not a Moomoo, I just picked up this story because I was trying to do some reading before I write my own bodyguardau fic. This is probably one of the best ones on this site just because of the very real uncertainty of the relationship: I genuinely wondered if Solar and Byulyi were going to get together because of the latter's baggage. That sense of tension just doesn't exist for many fics out there.

My only real gripe is that Eric's reveal as the villain felt very sudden. I understand you tried to establish him as a manipulative ex to foreshadow the reveal, and that you've stated many times that there was a mole in the company, but the exposition dump at the end still felt quite sudden and not earned at all. But it's a small problem, I can roll with it and he does his job as the mastermind behind everything. Honestly this fic could have ended here, but thankfully there's a sequel which apparently addresses the rest of my concerns, so I'll be looking forward to reading it. Thank you for writing such a good fic, and I hope you're doing well.

Domestic MoonSun is one of the best MoonSun.

Chapter 24: The confession scene broke my heart and put it back together with their heartfelt words and tears.

Chapter 23: I keep on remembering the scenes in the movie while imagining what I'm reading. This is nerve-wracking.
