Jung 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.

“Ah, Wheein-ah! Perfect timing!” The man in question was clearly not intimidated by her entrance. “Have you seen the reviews? The critics loved Solar in her first ever acting role and the movie itself is a blockbuster!”

The last word made even her fury pause, “Eric, I’m pretty sure no-one uses the term ‘blockbuster’ anymore…”

The CEO shrugged, his grin still plastered across his face, “Whatever, I don’t care. This movie is the highest grossing domestic film of the year!”

At this, Wheein’s anger almost fully dissipated as her eyebrows shot up in surprise, “Really?”

“Yes! Oh my god, we are going to get so many more movie offers for Solar… and offers mean cheques and movies mean big cheques… I can’t wait!”

And just like that, her anger came flooding back. Along with the reason she had come marching in in the first place. 

“That’s all great, Eric. As long as you have a Solar by the end of this.”

His glee finally subsided a little and getting up from his seat, he closed the door of his office and leant against it. “What is that supposed to mean, Wheein?”

Wheein’s frustration bubbled up once again, “You know exactly what I mean! We’ve been getting threats and weird creepy gifts from that stupid stalker for months now and I had hoped you would finally take things seriously when we found that bomb in her dressing room… a ing bomb , Eric!”

“Keep your voice down!” Eric hissed as he quickly peeked through the glass panel of his office door to see if anyone outside had reacted and when it looked like they hadn’t, he replied, “It didn’t go off anyway, so it was probably a fake.”

“It looked pretty real to me.”

“So? You’re not an expert. And it failed to go off.”

“It doesn’t matter, Yongsun-unnie’s life is clearly in danger… we all might be in danger. Don’t you see? Don’t you care?”

“Of course I care! How dare you assume I don’t!” Eric was suddenly towering over her but she gri

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