Chapter 5 – Side Hustles
"Then,
who's going to......"
"Let
me try."
It
was the guy from earlier who was giving the people in the duel a hard time.
"I'm
Choi Taeyang. You know how to duel with knives, right?"
"I'm
Yoon Jay."
Taking
the knife that Choi Taeyang threw into the air, Yoon Jay lightly swung it
around. This guy uses a rubber knife.
"How
long have you been out of the military?"
"About
5 years."
"Then
I guess your skills must be quite rusty, right?"
Is
it provoking? Yoon Jay looked at Choi Taeyang's expression. I didn't have any
bad feelings from that smile. I guess he was bored because he didn't have a
good dueling opponent.
When
Yoon Jay took his stance, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
"Wow,
you have a good stance."
"Shall
we begin?"
Yoon
Jay smiled and swung his knife. Caught off guard for a moment, Choi Taeyang
took a step back to dodge the attack, then set up his stance to attempt an
attack.
The
employees of Wings Company gathered around them in a fierce battle that would
not end easily.
"Mr.
CEO, who is that?"
"New
hire, interviewing."
"Wahh......"
Yoon
Jay refused to allow Choi Taeyang to attack by widening the gap or hitting his
wrist. It had been a while since he'd left the army, but his combat senses
hadn't rusted. On the contrary, it was sharpened.
He
had the gift of being able to mimic anything almost perfectly once he saw it,
and once he experienced it, he never lost it.
"Ughh......"
Watching
the duel, Jung Seung-woo shuddered. When he was in the army, Yoon Jay had come
as an instructor.
Before
the training started, he'd joke that the South Korean military was too rigid,
but when training began, he was merciless.
Even
though he was already healed, he could still feel the soreness in the area
where Yoon Jay had hit me.
Syukk!
'Crazy......!'
He
barely dodged, but Yoon Jay's swing speed was unbelievable. Choi Taeyang
gritted his teeth and started to counterattack. However, Yoon Jay lightly
dodged and quickly reversed the knife and swung it near his chin.
"Huh?"
Park
Chul-woo's eyes widened in surprise. What set his company, Wings Company, apart
from other security companies was its unique self-defense techniques, a mix of
martial arts from each of the special forces.
'Did
Jung Seung-woo teach him?'
No
way. I've heard he's only just arrived from the U.S., and even if Seung-woo
taught him by cramming, he wouldn't be able to pull off moves like that.
'Did
he just watch...... For a second and copy it?'
As
Yoon Jay started first, Choi Taeyang also showed off his Wings Company
self-defense skills.
I
took a peek earlier, and it's an interesting move. I wonder are they developed
it on their own. Yoon Jay put a smile around his mouth.
"Wow......"
"What?
Who taught him that?"
The
onlookers jumped to conclusions as the battle never ended despite the
overwhelming skill difference.
The
newcomer was intentionally prolonging the match, absorbing his opponent's
moves.
"He's
playing with Taeyang, right?"
"Hey,
Taeyang. Just give up."
Wings
Company's bodyguards booed, but Choi Taeyang didn't give up. As they kept
showing loopholes but kept up an ironclad defense, an error arose.
But
Choi Taeyang's opportunity to fight back never came. Yoon Jay twisted Choi Taeyang's
wrist, went straight inside, and stabbed him several times in the stomach.
"Ugh......
I lost."
It's
a rubber knife, but it's hard, so it'll probably bruise tomorrow. But if it was
real, Choi Taeyang would have already collapsed with his guts showing.
Yoon
Jay reached out to the cowering Choi Taeyang and helped him up.
"You're
so good, so fierce......"
"You're
good at it too, Taeyang -ssi."
Choi
Taeyang laughed with a deflated sound. He knows it's just a lie. When the duel
was over, Jung Seung-woo clapped his hands loudly and made a fuss.
"Keughhh,
you are really my hyung -nim!"
"What's
wrong with Jung Seung-woo?"
"He
introduced it to me."
"Really?"
A
group of people gathered around Yoon Jay, each introducing themselves and
wishing him well in the future. Yoon Jay didn't think they'd reject him after
he showed such skill.
"So,
Jay -ssi, where are you from?"
"It's
no joke. He's from......!"
Yoon
Jay raised his index finger and brought it to Jung Seung-woo's mouth. Jung
Seung-woo was surprised and closed his mouth.
"From,
what?"
"He's
an incredible person!"
"Seung-woo,
why are you the one answering?"
What
do you mean by an incredible person? Yoon Jay replied quickly
"I
was in the Navy SEALs."
"Oh.
Are you a Gyopo?"
T/N:
Gyopo = An overseas Korean, a person who has settled in another country and
lives as a citizen of that country, and has the status of both the country of
origin and the country of residence.
"Ah,
since you’re a Navy SEALs, I support you!"
"Did
you seriously plan on winning? You didn't even get jabbed."
The
atmosphere shows as if I have passed the interview and would immediately go to
work tomorrow. However, the decision maker hadn't answered yet. Yoon Jay
glanced at the CEO.
"We
have a foreigner in our company."
He
passed the interview. Yoon Jay put his coat back on. As the deputy CEO showed
him around the office, Park Chul-woo stared at Yoon Jay.
'Why
would Jung Seung-woo get involved with an overseas Korean?'
He
even said that he hadn't won once...... Jung Seung-woo was a member of the 707
Special Forces. I heard that he trained with special forces overseas during his
service.
[What
a......!]
"Hm......"
Park
Chul-woo stared at Yoon Jay. Their eyes met, and Yoon Jay smiled broadly. It
was a harmless smile, but somehow, he had a feeling that it wouldn't be a good
idea to dig deeper.
Still,
a useful recruit is always welcome.
'It's
a waste of talent to just be used as a celebrity security guard......'
What
should I do? Everything that came in was that part of it.
***
After
processing documents, Yoon Jay became a bodyguard for the Wings Company.
Wings
Company usually protects businessmen from overseas and royalty from the Middle
East, but if there was no request from them, then they were assigned to be
bodyguards for a music event for the time being.
Yoon
Jay quickly adapted to the job. He'd done similar work before, and unlike the
U.S., South Korea was not prone to gun accidents.
"Jay
hyung -nim, this is Mr. CEO's order, you will only be in charge of female
celebrities from now on."
"Why
only Yoon Jay? How about me?"
"Taeyang,
I want you to handle male celebrities."
"Why?"
"Why?"
Jung
Seung-woo smirked and looked at Yoon Jay. On the red carpet, several reporters and Homma
were taking pictures of Yoon Jay.
[Hey,
Seung-woo, let Jay only cover female celebrities from now on.]
[Why?]
[A
complaint was filed from the agency.]
Park
Chul-woo had said it with a laugh as if it was amazing even as he spoke.
From
the first time he guarded an event, Yoon Jay was immediately noticed. His aura
and appearance attracted people's attention.
—
Who's watching the live stream of WonderCon’s red carpet? There's a really
handsome bodyguard.
—
The bodyguard is more handsome than the actor? LOL
—
Even Park Seo-ah, the chemistry crusher, had great chemistry when she stood
next to that bodyguard.
—
Which security company does the bodyguard come from?
So
that's why the male celebrity's agency filed a complaint. Park Chul-woo
continued to laugh, saying that he had never seen anything like that before.
It's
good that Wings Company's name became known thanks to Yoon Jay, but it's not
good when a bodyguard gets too much attention.
Jung
Seung-woo wanted to work with Yoon Jay for a long time, even though Yoon Jay
himself said he wasn't planning to do it for a long time.
"Hyung
-nim, did you hear?"
"Uhm."
Yoon
Jay nodded his head slightly. His attention was focused on the crowd gathered
near the red carpet, especially the long fence that had been stretched to keep
people out.
'Those
fences are dangerous.'
There
are no weights underneath, and it doesn't look very sturdy.
Yoon
Jay remembered his time as a firefighter. He remembered responding to an
accident where someone's leg was caught in a fence like that, and he had to cut
it off with a saw.
Choi
Taeyang and Jung Seung-woo gossiped while Yoon Jay looked around.
"He
doesn't seem to mind that the camera is filming him like that."
"We
and him are in a different class."
"Why?
I'm good looking too."
"My
brother, you just happened to be here."
Why?!
Ignoring Choi Tae-yang's irritation, Jung Seung-woo was impressed. Is that the
life of a popular person......
He
wasn't used to it, he just didn't think about it. But Jung Seung-woo didn't
know it.
(Yoon
Dojun) I'm done with World Tour. LOL
(Yoon
Dojun) I got a vacation. Haha
(Yoon
Dojun) I'm going to Gyeongbokgung Palace with Hyung.
(Yoon
Dojun) Are you jealous?
Waiting
in the van for the red carpet, Yoon Dohwa nervously turned off her phone screen
out of frustration at her twin's excitement.
'I
want to rest too.'
It
was good that she made it big after she debuted, but she's been too busy. She
hadn't been able to visit her dying father often enough.
She
returned to work soon after her father's funeral. The agency told her to take a
break, but it was Yoon Dohwa who insisted. She felt like she needed to work so
she wouldn't think about other things.
"Dohwa
eonni."
"Huh?"
"Isn't
that your older brother?"
He
was so handsome that a lot of people remember him, he was so catchy at the
funeral. As the members spoke, Yoon Dohwa pressed her face against the glass
window. There was a familiar face among the security guards on site.
"What?
Is it real?"
Meanwhile,
a van carrying Yoon Dohwa's group stopped at the entrance to the red carpet.
Yoon Jay opened the van's door.
"Oppa?"
Since
his siblings are also celebrities, he knew he would meet them someday. Yoon Jay
was unfazed and stuck out his hand, then he paused.
Yoon
Dohwa wore a short skirt, perhaps that's why the camera lenses of the red
carpet crowd were strangely downward.
Clicking
his tongue, Yoon Jay took off his jacket and covered Yoon Dohwa's lower body.
"You
can get off now."
"Is
this your side hustle?"
"Be
careful because it's slippery."
Yoon
Dohwa felt awkward at being treated like this so publicly. Of course, there are
a lot of eyes on this place, so it's bound to happen. She took Yoon Jay's hand
and stepped carefully.
'She
doesn't seem to have much energy......'
Seeing
that, Yoon Jay cleverly turned his back to the camera and whispered.
"You
look great today."
Yoon
Dojun kept in touch with him even though he was on the World Tour, but Yoon
Dohwa didn't do much, so it was on his mind.
He
couldn't do anything noticeable because there were a lot of eyes here, but
instead, he tapped on the back of Yoon Dohwa's hand with his thumb to encourage
her.
Yoon
Dohwa's cheeks immediately flushed, and she moved forward.
Is
she feeling better? I hope so. Yoon Jay escorted the other members in the same
way and waited for the next one.
"You
basta#d...... What are you doing?"
"What?"
Meanwhile,
Choi Taeyang frowned and whispered. He was close enough to see that Yoon Jay
tapped the back of Yoon Dohwa's hand.
"I'm
talking about Flava Yoon Dohwa. I was close enough to see it. Isn't she
minor?"
"She's
my little sister."
"Huh.
Really?"
I'm
glad I didn't talk much with Yoon Dohwa. Choi Taeyang kept his mouth shut. Yoon
Jay stared at Yoon Dohwa and the others, who were in the spotlight more than
the previous group.
"Is
she famous enough for you to know her name?"
"She's
famous. They've been calling her the biggest rookie since she debuted."
"Really?"
"Ugh,
I thought you were a je*k."
Choi
Taeyang patted his chest, and Yoon Jay laughed lightly.
Yoon
Jay looked at his little sister in the distance, standing in the photo line and
striking a heart pose. He didn't have many memories of his biological father,
which was fine, but he was a little worried about the twins, who went right
back to work after the funeral.
"......!"
There
was a commotion after escorting celebrities a few times.
"Kyaaa!"
"Aahhhh!"
For
some reason, I felt uneasy. Yoon Jay quickly ran over and grabbed the fence
that was about to fall forward.
Jung
Seung-woo, who reacted late, joined in. It could have turned into a big
accident, but luckily, they were quicker to react.
"Wow,
that could have been bad, hyung -nim."
"Yeah."
Yoon
Jay exhaled, I shouldn't let down my guard just because it's a simple event
security guard. He was conscious of the cameras pointed at him as he returned
to his original position.
Suddenly,
he remembered the day when he was 'Yoon Jae-hee'.
[No!
I'm scared!]
[Don't
come......]
After
winning the Best Actor Award with <Children>, he developed a phobia of
cameras. Even DSLR cameras, which people call cannon cameras. It was because of
the reporters who kept following him.
[Son,
you can't just keep avoiding them because you're scared].
[It's
something you're going to have to face at some point in your life].
His
father, Henry Jenkins, did not give in and tried to cure Yoon Jay's phobia.
'Thanks
to that, I got used to the cameras.'
Should
I call my father after a long time? Yoon Jay waited to get off work.
