Prologue
The BodyguardJung Wheein was petite but by no means was she a pushover.
Especially when it came to the solo artist and recently turned actress, Solar. And it was not just because she was Solar’s manager. No, it was because she was Solar’s best friend and she cared for the human being behind the Solar facade; she cared for Kim Yongsun.
So, she stormed through the corridors of Nam Entertainment in her kitten heels, politely but curtly nodding her head to any greetings thrown her way, and slammed open the door to the CEO’s office.
