Kaya is at her family’s mansion, pacing impatiently in the living room. Her father has just introduced her to her new bodyguard, Jun
Kaya
Kaya: (coldly) I don’t need a bodyguard. I can take care of myself.
Jun
Jun: (calm, professional) I’m just here to keep you safe, Ms. Kaya. Your father insists.
Kaya
(rolls her eyes, dismissive) Of course he does. Overprotective as usual.
Jun
(Watches her, noticing her sharp tone but staying silent.)
Kaya
[Sudden shift as Lia takes over]
Kaya
Kaya as Lia: (smiling, softer) Actually, it’s nice to meet you! Having a strong bodyguard sounds… reassuring.
Jun
Jun: (surprised at the sudden change) "Uh, nice to meet you too, Ms. Kaya. I wasn’t expecting such a warm welcome."
Kaya
Kaya as lia: (giggles) Well, don’t believe everything you hear. I’m not always as bad as people think.
Kaya
(Just as quickly, Kaya’s personality reemerges.)
Kaya
Kaya: (snaps) Stop talking about me as if I’m not here, alright? Don’t get comfortable.
Jun
Jun: (thrown off by the sudden change, nods carefully) "Understood, ma’am."
As Kaya walks away, Jun watches, confused but determined to understand his unpredictable new assignment.
Later that evening, Ethan is stationed in the hallway outside Kaya’s room. Inside, Kaya paces back and forth, her irritation simmering.
Kaya
Kaya: (muttering to herself) "A bodyguard… as if I need a babysitter. He’s probably just another one of Father’s spies."
Kaya
She sits on her bed, arms crossed, then closes her eyes. A moment later, Lia takes over.
Kaya
Kaya as Lia: (talking to herself, softer tone) "Maybe he’s just here to help. He did seem… kind of nice."
Kaya
Lia stands, peeks out her door, and spots Ethan in the hallway. She approaches him with a friendly smile.
Kaya
Kaya as Lia: "Hey, Jun"
Jun
Jun: (raises an eyebrow, confused by her suddenly friendly demeanor) "Yes, Ms. Kaya?"
Kaya
kaya as Lia: "You don’t have to call me that. Just ‘Kaya’ is fine."
Jun
Jun: (hesitates, nodding) "Alright… Kaya"
Kaya
Kaya as Lia: (playful, leaning against the wall) "So, how did you end up with a job like this? Guarding someone like me?"
Jun
Jun: (carefully choosing his words) "Your father has… certain concerns. He thought a bit of extra protection would be good."
Kaya
Kaya as Lia: "Concerns? I’m just an ordinary girl, aren’t I?"
Jun
Jun: (pauses, studying her) "You might be more than you think, Kaya."
Kaya
Lia laughs lightly, trying to keep the mood light.
Kaya
Kaya as Lia: "Well, I guess that’s for you to decide. Don’t let the rumors scare you off."
Jun
Opens his mouth to reply, but then there’s a shift in her gaze, and Kaya returns.
Kaya
Kaya: (harshly) "What are you still doing here? Don’t you have somewhere else to be?"
Jun
Jun: (frowning slightly, confused by the sudden change) "Just doing my job."
Kaya
Kaya: "Well, do it somewhere else."
Kaya
She slams her door shut, leaving Jun outside with a puzzled expression. He’s beginning to realize that there’s more to her than meets the eye.
