I went to Seoul, South Korea over the summer and tried to apply for a job. I never had one, and since I had nothing else to do I went on the "job hunt". I kept searched online and also saw some ads that were out on display but I did not know how to speak Korean. I was began to loose all hope, until I saw a sign at a restaurant with the name Chonggak Dong. In big blue words it stated: SM Town Now Hiring Bodyguard. I was relieved that I found a decent job, but I doubted whether or not I was going to get the job. This was only because I did not have any body guarding skills. When I got to the place all i saw was a big gray building, but I went in anyway. I walked in through a lighted hallway with blue walls and saw a door with the same sign I saw outside. My first instincts were to go inside, but I was afraid that someone would kick me out. Then I see this big man walking towards my way I saw his head It was bald, and he asked me what I was doing there. I just stood there in shock, I did not know what to say, so I pointed to the sign. After that, he gestured me to go on in the room and with his consent I went in. I looked around the room and was surprised that no one else showed up. I then began to wonder why, I thought either I was not going to get paid enough or I would be mistreated as an employee.
Turns out, the company was desperate to hire someone, so I was hired on the spot. I felt relieved that I got the position, even though I was not interviewed. I was given a uniform, some arms, a license, and my task. Everything I was to wear looked as though it weighed a ton but when I held it was light. I felt high and mighty with this SWAT - like uniform, and felt like I was capable of anything. I was distracted with my uniform, that I lost track of my task. I opened the envelope and I jump and began to scream. I was given the task to be a bodyguard for my favorite Super Junior member: Choi Siwon. I knew I had to keep everything strictly professional so I decided not to go fan girl crazy when I saw him.
I was star struck when he came out of his dressing room. All he was wearing was normal clothing, a shirt and pants, but that fact that it was him blew me away. He was much taller than me and he thought that the staff played a joke on him by hiring such a short bodyguard. I was offended, but then thought about the fact that he was 6 foot something and I was shorter than that by a long shot. We both greeted and he smiled, I saw him face to face and saw his dimples. The inner fangirl in me was screaming so loud that I felt my ears ringing. I was loosing track on the fact that I was his bodyguard so we greeted each other and I had to protect him from the fans who usually try to rip his clothes off when they see him.
My duty for the day was to take him safely to the set shooting for his drama series "Oh! My Lady", where he co-starred with ChaeRim. I was actually looking forward to see his acting, until I saw this huge mob approaching from the distance. They were running and I knew what I was in for. I paniced in my mind, but physically I knew I had to protect him at all costs. I managed to block him from all sides with my hard plastic shield, and he was impressed that I was able to do that as a tiny person. Then, in the midst of the crowd I heard someone yell "Hey!" I looked around and saw that it was a man with an anti-suju (super junior for short) shirt. I knew I had to stop him after seeing that he had a gun. I grabbed the tazer out of my back pocket and told Siwon to protect himself from the crowd. He asked why in shock, but I simply told him it was my duty. I crawled underneath the crowd, until I finally reached this anti-fan. I used the tazer and shocked him in the back. He jolted and then I took the gun. I used my walkie-talkie to talk to the cops and have that man arrested. Siwon was dumb founded and thanked me after he came out of his state of shock. The fans left once the police came, because they thought they were going to get arrested. Afterwards, I left the scene with Siwon to go to see him act in his drama "Oh! My Lady." I was entertained with the show and the dramatic tension between ChaeRim and Siwon. I thought they made a cute couple, even though she was older that him.
Once he was done he asked me how can he every repay me and I asked for an autograph. When we reached the company premises, I was taken by the manager of SM Town and he told me I was fired. I asked why, and all he said is that I did not fulfill my duty as a bodyguard. I was confused until he showed me a picture of Siwon with the plastic shield and I saw myself crawling toward the anti-suju fan. In my head I was cracking up but in person I apologized an let myself out. I decided to tell Siwon the news, and he laughed to. Turns out he saw the picture earlier on the Internet, on the SapphirePearls's blog. He still thanked me in a formal manner, because I saved his life and then said that he still owes me a favor. With that said, we said our goodbyes. I have no regrets of my one day as a body guard and somewhere out there I knew I did a good thing, I saved a life.
