Chapter 178 - Shin Soyeon (1/2)

"Soyeon?" Lee Jinhee questioned whilst raising one of her eyebrows. There was no one Jinhee knew by that name.

"Ah! You must have not met with her until now," Taehyun spoke out, "Shin Soyeon, you can enter in now."

Hearing footsteps, Lee Jinhee turned towards the direction of the door and saw an unfamiliar female walk into the room. The female wore a student's uniform and had her brown hair tied into a ponytail. Held within her hand was two lunch boxes. Stepping in front of Lee Jinhee, the student bowed.

Seeing the student now, Lee Jinhee was confused and therefore, bowed as well. Turning towards Han Taehyun, Lee Jinhee waited for an answer from him.

Shin Soyeon spoke out, "Miss Jinhee, I am your new bodyguard. I'm under your care now, and you can order me as you see fit."

Facing Shin Soyeon, Jinhee smiled at her. She must be the bodyguard Han Taeho was talking about. Lee Jinhee could see how polite and professional Shin Soyeon was being from her facial expressions, and this left a good impression on Jinhee.

"Soyeon can be a little stiff and strict at times, but she is really skilled, Jinhee-ah," Taehyun said, "Now that she is here to take care of you, I am finally feeling relieved. With you being such a trouble magnet, I—"

"Geez! Han Taehyun, quit being so dramatic," Jinhee commented.

Then, turning to look at Shin Soyeon, Jinhee voiced out, "Soyeon-ssi, I am under your care as well. Nice to meet you."

"Alright, alright. Now the that introduction is over, it's time to eat. Bring over the food, Soyeon," Taehyun spoke out.

Shin Soyeon nodded and placed the lunch boxes on the ground. Han Taehyun sat down beside Lee Jinhee whilst Soyeon stood at one side.

"What are you standing there for? Sit down and eat your lunch," Han Taehyun spoke out whilst wearing a wide smile on his face.

"Mine?" Soyeon questioned.

"Of course yours. One is for me, and the other one is yours. Do I really need to state the obvious?" Han Taehyun said.

Shin Soyeon turned to look at Lee Jinhee, who had nonchalance written on her face, and said, "I'm not hungry, Young Miss Taehee."

"Soyeon-ah, you don't have to be shy. Just follow my orders and sit down. You can freely eat your food. If you don't eat your food, who will? In the end, they will be wasted," Taehyun said.

Forcing out a smile towards, Lee Jinhee said, "Yes, Soyeon. You should sit down and have your lunch as well. You can not work properly on an empty stomach."

'If he didn't bring any food for me, then fine. It's not like I actually wanted to eat in the first place. I am not even hungry.'

"Well…"

Wearing an awkward expression on her face, Shin Soyeon nodded. Glancing at both Lee Jinhee and Han Taehyun in turns, Soyeon gradually sat down on the ground— in front of Jinhee and Taehyun.
