Original subtitles

I no longer trust your company.

I'll find a personal bodyguard for my daughter myself.

From what I've heard,

none of our bodyguards meet your VIP's criteria.

I don't think we'll be needing a new agency after all, Dad.

Pleasure working with you,

Ms. Bodyguard.

We also have some additional rules.

"You must stay within visual range

of your bodyguard at all times."

And what exactly is "visual range"?

Can you see me now?

This place sells good congee,

so I bought it

and came straight here.

This time, it's on me, since you bought me breakfast. Deal?

Mick!

Tawan,

that's Mick. He's the housekeeper's son.

He always brings me snacks.

He's one of my fans.

Let me see your neck.

It's okay. I'm fine now.

I'll get going. Excuse me.

I've got all kinds of fans.

Some can't even make eye contact.

Some won't come near me. Some don't want to touch at all.

Some have only ever seen me on screen

or heard my voice through it,

and that alone makes them happy.

Some haven't even met me in real life,

but still, they love me so much.

Their support and love mean everything to me.

And what about the ones who send you disturbing things,

who stalk you?

To be honest,

that only started recently.

Death threats,

letters telling me to leave the industry,

bloody dolls…

It made me wonder. Did I ever hurt anyone?

But when I really think about it…

No. I've never hurt anyone first.

Sometimes, it's not that you did anything wrong.

It's just that jealous people

want to hurt you.

Anti-fans, I guess.

Hey, gorgeous girl!

- Hello, Yam! - Hi.

Still not done practicing?

Just one section left and I'm done.

Ayla, your new song is amazing.

I love it!

You've heard it? I thought the mix wasn't done yet.

Oh, right…

Yeah, it's not done. But I'm your number one fan, remember?

So, I snuck a preview.

Anyway, you keep practicing.

I'll hop in this afternoon.

It's totally fine. I'll wrap up now,

so you can take over.

Come on…

A superstar like you? You train so hard.

I'm tiny.

I can wait.

Stop. I'm no superstar.

You go ahead. I have to record anyway.

Alright then. See you later.

- See you, sis! Bye-bye! - Bye!

Ayla,

your guest has arrived.

Got it.

Did you wait long, Khaotu?

Not at all. Did you just finish?

Yep, I'm done.

Well,

I've got someone I want you to meet.

Tawan? Tawan!

Tawan…

Is this really Tawan in the flesh?

Of course it is!

She's the real deal. Gorgeous, right?

You're still as cool as ever!

How have you been?

I'm doing well.

And you, Khaotu?

I'm a pretty flight attendant now.

And today, this idol girl right here dragged me to her office.

Dragged, huh?

Don't make me look bad in front of Tawan!

Fine, I dragged myself.

But you owed me a birthday treat, remember?

You're always flying around like a bird. This was the first day we were both free.

Excuse me. I'm an angel, not a bird.

There's a fine line between angel and bird, you know.

Not for me. I've got wings and everything. Definitely an angel!

You might just be a bird.

Nope!

I'm way too pretty. Angel, definitely!

Hey! What the hell?

Let go! Let me go!

You can't just take my stuff!

Give it back!

With evidence this solid?

You'd better stay quiet.

Boss, it's not sasaengs. Just gossip peddlers.

Handle it. Coordinate with Ayla's team.

Understood, Boss.

Everything's handled. You can get in the car now.

Tawan, is that your team?

They're so cool!

I only ever see stuff like that in action movies.

Can you do one of those moves for me?

Ugh!

I'm starving!

Enough with the action show. Let's go eat.

Fine, fine. My car's parked over there.

See you there.

- See you. - Bye-bye!

Bye!

Thanks.

1KT - PHITSANULOK

Ayla!

Ayla,

are you okay?

I'm fine.

And you…

Ayla.

I'm okay.

Look.

Just a scratch.

But it still hurts, doesn't it?

I've already contacted the hospital, Boss.

Come here.

Tawan, Ayla, are you alright?

You should head back first.

No, I'm worried about you.

Please, trust me. Just go for now. I'll call you later.

Okay.

But you were so cool just now!

Ayla, you're really okay, right?

That was terrifying!

I'm fine. Luckily, Tawan was there.

Then… I'll take her to the hospital now.

I'll come with you.

If the chairman finds out I let you go alone, I'm done for.

Don't worry. We'll take good care of Ms. Ayla.

But--

That's right. If Boss has any questions,

just call me. Don't worry.

- Take care, alright? - Bye.

Tawan?

Tawan.

Are you okay?

The doctor said it's nothing serious.

Thanks to first aid.

I should be fine

in a few days.

Nana's working on tracking the license plate.

Good. The sooner, the better.

Got it, Boss.

In the next few days,

I'll have the team assign extra security to take care of Ayla.

No problem at all.

So you can rest too.

I'll still be here.

Just bringing in backup.

Ms. Rawee, please proceed to the billing counter.

This goes against protocol, you know.

Is this really okay?

Yeah.

And that painkiller she took was strong. She should be out cold.

Why didn't she just rest?

Normally, if you're injured, you rest.

We're all available to sub in.

This is weird.

Yeah

Something smells fishy.

Where's Boss?

Why are you here?

Boss called me in.

Said backup was needed.

Backup or moral support?

So…

Where's the boss now?

Over there.

No need to go over. Come here.

- All clear downstairs. - Everything's secured.

Tawan,

do you want to go get some rest?

Boss,

we'll take care of Ms. Ayla. No need to worry.

Please, go get some rest.

Okay?

Will you go?

Everyone, follow Rule 27.

Unless you're leaving the building, come straight to me.

Copy that.

I'll leave it to you.

Yes, Boss.

Can I have that medicine?

Please, make yourself at home.

If you're hungry, I can order something for you.

Given the situation, let us order instead.

We'll make sure it's safe and tasty.

What would you like to eat, Ms. Ayla?

What does Tawan like to eat?

I'll have whatever she's having.

Everything the boss likes?

Exactly.

Order two or three sets of each.

Here's your bedtime medicine.

And pajamas.

If you need anything, just call me.

SPAGHETTI CARBONARA

PAD THAI

All these restaurants are pre-approved by the company.

Safe and delicious.

Order whatever you like.

Okay.

Ms. Ayla?

Yes?

Would you like to add anything?

Oh…

That's already a lot of food. I don't think we'll finish it all.

There are a lot of us here. Better to order extra.

And besides, I don't actually know what Tawan likes.

Boss eats anything.

Really?

Yup.

You guys, come sit with me.

Tawan said this room has top-notch security.

You can sit if you'd like.

I think I'll stay standing.

Technically, we're still on duty.

By now, she's fast asleep.

Come on. Chat with me for a bit.

I was actually Tawan's junior back in high school.

I knew it!

That explains everything.

Alright.

So, Ms. Ayla, you've known each other since high school?

She's never told you?

No.

We've asked,

but all she ever says is, "We've known each other a long time."

Well, it's true. It's been eight years.

Whoa, eight years?

What should I order for Tawan?

She loves noodles.

Yup, any kind, from any country.

Perfect. Then…

Let's get noodle soup, sukiyaki, bolognese, carbonara, boat noodles…

And barbecue pork egg noodles too!

I'm really lucky Tawan agreed to be my bodyguard.

We were surprised too.

She hasn't taken on a private case in a while.

Her last few were either

high-level government clients or returning ones who requested her specifically.

Exactly. And even now, she's injured.

Normally, we'd bring in a whole new team.

But she refused to switch out

and brought us in as backup instead.

That just shows how important your case is to the boss.

I think responsibility means a lot to her.

She promised to protect me.

She wouldn't want to break that promise.

That's her.

She's incredibly strict and detail-oriented.

She doesn't like mistakes.

Nothing escapes her attention.

So…

How did you all end up working with her?

I was in the military.

Navy SEALs.

Top of my class.

And me…

You probably wouldn't guess,

but I used to be a total nerd.

Didn't talk to anyone.

Just obsessed with writing code.

That's awesome!

I'm hopeless with tech.

I only know music, singing, that sort of thing. But computers?

Zero.

Back then, the boss had just come back from Hong Kong.

Hong Kong?

Yes.

She was looking for someone to manage the IT side of things.

Someone recommended me,

and she contacted me.

At first,

I was just helping with research.

Then, next thing I knew, I was roped into the bodyguard life.

And…

how long did she live in Hong Kong?

Ages.

When she speaks Mandarin, no one would believe she's Thai.

She's fluent in many languages.

At least five.

That's amazing! And what about you, Chanya?

I used to be a police officer.

I eventually left the force and came to work with the boss.

I felt like this job suited me better.

So, you're someone who values freedom. Doesn't like being boxed in?

That's exactly what the boss said.

Am I that easy to read?

- Am I? - Yep.

- Speechless, huh? - You guys…

You know, with the way Tawan works,

doesn't her lover ever complain?

She's single. No lover.

Really?!

Where is she now?

She's asleep. The rest of the team is here with me.

Girl, I'm still not over what happened.

What about you? Are you okay?

Not really.

Because Tawan got hurt?

Yeah.

I feel awful she got hurt because of me.

Look, she's your bodyguard.

She was doing her job.

And if anything had happened to you,

your dad would've killed her on the spot.

We just reunited a few days ago, and now this happens.

By the way, does your dad know?

Of course not.

And I don't want him to find out. He'll call me home.

True.

But at least you're safe.

Your dad wouldn't blame her.

Honestly, right now, I'm all over the place.

Part of me is so glad she's here, looking out for me.

But then, seeing her get hurt,

I just… don't want her in danger.

And those people who attacked me…

Why do they hate me so much? I don't even know them.

Who knows what'll happen next?

Deep breaths, superstar.

Focus, okay?

Right now, can you even trust anyone but Tawan?

You should be grateful she's willing to take this job for you.

But I'm worried about her too.

Yeah, I know.

You're worried. You love her.

I've been hearing this since we were 16.

Go take care of her, alright?

Maybe she'll finally fall for you.

Yeah.

Boss has been working so hard

to build the company up to this point.

The VIP clients we've worked with,

almost none of them ever switch to another agency.

That's true.

Not to brag,

but she has incredibly high standards.

When people hear the name Ms. Rawee,

they immediately think of flawless execution.

No mistakes at all.

Thoroughness, attention to detail, and sharp observation.

That's what makes everything run smoothly.

We all follow that same standard.

And it really works.

Boss once told me,

protecting someone with everything you've got

is where a bodyguard's duty begins.

Tawan!

Ms. Ayla.

Let's go sleep in your room.

I'd rather stay here.

It's really better if you go back.

If Boss wakes up and sees you sleeping here,

we're all getting punished for sure.

Boss…

Boss.

You're up so early.

It's only 5:30.

The meds shouldn't have worn off yet.

You can go back to sleep, you know.

Yeah, we've got things covered, Boss.

No, I'm up.

You guys go rest.

As tough as ever.

Oh, by the way.

That pajama set is super cute.

Very cutesy-cutesy.

Cutie patootie!

What about Ms. Ayla?

Is she still asleep?

She is. She didn't fall asleep until nearly 3 a.m.

Okay.

Boss, are you okay now?

It's not near my heart.

The wound may be far from your heart,

but I feel like the person is getting closer to it.

Go already. Always saying random things.

Random talk, as usual.

Seriously. All of you, saying nonsense.

Don't you have work to do?

Are we getting any updates on that motorcycle today or not?

You'll have the info by noon, Boss.

Good.

Then, what are you standing around for?

Get back to work.

- Go pack up your things. - Okay.

Why'd you bring such a huge bag anyway?

Tawan.

How are you feeling?

I'm feeling better.

Nothing serious now.

Is there something on your mind?

I…

I want to cancel the contract with your company.

May I ask why?

I'm confident our company hasn't made any mistakes.

Or did one of the three do something to upset you?

No, not at all.

They've been nothing but kind.

And your company has done an amazing job.

I'm not upset about anything.

I'm actually really grateful

that you've been by my side, looking after me.

But…

I don't want something like yesterday to ever happen again.

You got hurt because of me.

I'm the reason you got hurt.

They were after me. So, why should you be the one who ends up getting hurt?

Then I'm going to have to say no.

This contract can't be canceled for that reason.

Then…

I'll pay the full cancellation fee.

Your company won't lose anything.

I'm not worried about that.

Right now, your safety is what matters most.

And the situation you're in,

it's too dangerous for me to walk away.

Right now, your safety is my duty and my responsibility.

But if you're not happy with the way I'm doing things,

I'm willing to step down.

There are definitely other companies out there that could handle this job better.

No! Tawan, no…

I'm sorry.

Sorry if I did anything to upset you.

But please don't disappear on me again.

I only wanted to cancel the contract, not walk away from you.

I'm sorry.

These past eight years…

Eight years without you by my side, they were so hard.

Please don't leave again.

Please… I'm sorry.

Don't cry.

No more tears.

I'm not going anywhere.

Thank you…

Are you hungry? I am.

Should we go eat something?

Yeah.

Wait. Where is it?

I swear I left it right here.

If you mean the food in the fridge,

I saw Typhoon take it earlier.

He must've grabbed the wrong one.

I ordered that especially for you.

Looks like there's nothing left to eat.

I'll order more. Just wait a sec.

Wait.

Don't worry.

I'll make us some egg fried rice.

Egg fried rice?

No, it's okay.

I'll make my signature dish for you.

Will it actually be edible?

Yes. I promise this one won't blow up the kitchen. I swear.

Go sit down.

The water's boiling.

OK STIR FRIED SALTED EGG

Careful. It's hot.

Ding!

Heard someone likes noodle dishes.

Then…

I'll dig in.

It's good.

Looks like you've got at least one dish that's a success.

That's exactly what Mr. Thana said.

He's the one who forced me to learn.

And he said the exact same thing,

"At least there's one dish you can cook."

So good!

Oh, excuse me for a second.

Hello, Boss.

Ayla, how are you?

I just landed and heard what happened.

I nearly had a heart attack.

Does Mr. Thana know yet?

Not yet, Boss.

But…

Can you please not tell him just yet? I'm afraid he'll worry too much.

I'll tell him myself.

Alright.

We're reviewing the CCTV footage and coordinating with Ms. Rawee's team.

This has gone too far. I can't accept it.

I won't let the culprit get away with it.

And don't worry about work.

Take some time off. I'll have Tik rearrange your whole schedule.

Also, don't come to the office for now.

I'm upgrading all the security systems first.

Got it, Ayla?

Got it, Boss.

And how's Ms. Rawee?

She's doing fine now. No need to worry.

Let her know all medical expenses will be covered by us.

Thank you so much.

Take good care of yourself, Ayla.

I bet right now,

the entire office is getting chewed out by the boss.

How could something like this happen?

Didn't I make it clear

that artist safety must always come first?

And yet Ayla was attacked right outside our own building.

If we stay this careless

and another artist gets hurt,

how are we going to face anyone?

What will we tell their parents?

When we asked them to let their kids become artists,

we promised to take good care of them.

So, live up to that promise.

If not,

then shut this company down!

Don't just think about profiting off your artists

if you're not going to protect them properly.

So, that means

you don't have to go to work today?

After that explosion?

I think I'm off for at least two or three days.

I wonder… Is she making you feel anything?

Our lips are sealed. No leaks here.

I think you have to make a choice.

Do you want to protect her as a bodyguard protecting a VIP

or as someone protecting the love of her life?

Will you ever see me as anything else?

Not through a bodyguard's eyes.

Something other than a VIP client.

I'm not exactly the best choice.
