First Day of School

    Hello.

    I’m Kim Na-kyung, working for MARS, a private military company (PMC) affiliated with Masubul.

    My job was originally to handle security at Masubul Company.

    But one day, the company called together all the female employees who could speak Korean.

    As soon as I heard that, I knew why they were gathering.

    Because the same thing happened half a year ago.

    Back then, when they were hiring a bodyguard for the youngest daughter of the Masubul Company’s president and his wife, they called female employees who could speak Korean in the same way.

    The competition back then was fierce.

    First of all, the salary was different, and on top of that, Korea, where gun ownership is illegal, is safer than the United States.

    I also tried hard to get chosen, but because it was solely for safety, they looked a lot at physical conditions, so I had no choice but to be eliminated.

    Unlike other female employees, I am quite short and small.

    Of course, I’m not shorter than the average height, but I’m short among the employees.

    Height and physique play a very important role in security.

    This is because when something happens, it is advantageous to protect the person being guarded by covering as much of their body as possible.

    In that situation, I am at a disadvantage compared to others, but my skills are not inferior to others.

    ‘It’s going to be hard to get selected this time too…’

    I thought, but as soon as all the personnel gathered, I was chosen without any tests.

    “…?”

    All of our employees are known as elites in the world, but even among those elites, they took a test last time to pick the best.

    But suddenly they just pick me?

    That means…

    ‘It’s not that they didn’t do a test. They tested based on appearance.’

    Many employees looked down at me, immediately understood, and went back, leaving only me, and only then could I hear what mission I was assigned to.

    “…Huh?”

    “Aren’t you very embarrassed? I’ll tell you again. Your mission is to go to the middle school that our boss’s youngest daughter, Lee A-rang-nim, is attending and escort her.”

    “Middle school, you say? Me?”

    I could understand why I was chosen among so many people.

    But…

    No matter how young I look, I don’t have the face of a middle school student…

    25 years old in middle school…?

    It’s dizzying, but I accepted it.

    As soon as I was selected, I went to Korea right away, and I was briefed on what I had to do on the plane.

    The salary is almost 10 times higher than when I was doing security work, but instead, I have to do almost 24-hour security duty.

    It can be tough, but it’s fortunate that the security is in Korea and in a school that is not a dangerous area.

    ==

    “Hoo…”

    I’m still tired because of the time difference, but today is the day A-rang-nim first goes to Asan Middle School.

    In other words, it’s the day I have to go to school.

    Middle school uniform in front of me.

    ‘Going to middle school at this age… as a student…’

    I’m feeling a strong sense of reality, but from now on, I’m in a position to protect A-rang-i as a middle school student.

    ‘Let’s get a grip. Even though it’s Korea, you never know when and where something might happen.’

    I wore the things I needed for security so they wouldn’t be visible on the outside, and even put on the middle school uniform, and checked again to see if I had forgotten anything.

    ‘No problem.’

    Now I headed to the hospital room to wake up A-rang-nim.

    I greeted the bodyguard guarding A-rang’s hospital room and as soon as I entered the hospital room, what I saw was none other than light.

    The hospital room, which should have been dark because there was no place where light could enter through the blackout curtains, was emitting light from the TV screen that filled one wall.

    ‘Huh?’

    Now that I see it, the huge access device was also turned on.

    ‘Could it be…?’

    As soon as I carefully entered the room, what I saw was A-rang-nim, with a gaunt face and a happy face, enjoying the game on the huge screen.

    Anyone could tell that she had been playing games all night.

    According to the report, A-rang-nim likes games a lot…

    ‘Could it be that she stayed up all night playing games on her first day of school…?’

    [Heok, that’s right. What time is it now…!? Wh, what, is it already this time!? Qu, quickly-]

    As soon as she said that, the access device turned off.

    I thought she was still planning to go to school, but as soon as A-rang-nim came out of the access device, what she did was none other than…

    Pretending to sleep.

    “I’ll get in trouble if I get caught, quickly-”

    She pressed the power button on the access device and was about to release her prosthetic hand when she met my eyes.

    “Ek. Ahem.”

    Sseueuk.

    Even after making eye contact with me, A-rang-nim released her prosthetic hand and went straight into the blanket.

    I always saw male and female employees who looked fierce, but seeing such a cute side of her made me smile involuntarily.

    “A-rang-nim, you have to wake up now…”

    “Euh, euheung…”

    A-rang-nim coming out of the blanket.

    Unlike when I first saw her yesterday, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were gaunt and slightly bloodshot, and anyone could tell that she had stayed up all night.

    “First, I’ll take a quick bath before eating breakfast.”

    “A bath?”

    “Yes. Right now, A-rang-nim looks like an unemployed uncle who has been playing games all day.”

    “Euek. Wh, what should I do? If Anna-unni finds out about this…”

    “Let’s do it quickly before Anna-nim sees you. Would it be okay if I helped you with your bath?”

    “Yeah. Help me.”

    “Understood.”

    A slender body. A small physique that you wouldn’t think was 16 years old, A-rang-nim, who doesn’t have the arms and legs that an ordinary child should have.

    Maybe that’s why A-rang-nim’s weight was so light.

    Since I came to Korea, I learned about various situations in advance so that I could take care of A-rang-nim for 24 hours, so I was able to give her a bath without making her uncomfortable.

    Maybe it’s because she stayed up all night, but while taking a bath in warm water, A-rang-nim nodded her head and dozed off, and I couldn’t help but smile.

    ‘Is this why everyone wants a daughter?’

    After A-rang-nim finished her bath and put on her prosthetic hand and leg, Anna-nim came in.

    “A-rang-a, did you sleep well?”

    “Uh, yeah! I slept well!”

    “Really? I brought a delicious breakfast for A-rang-i to cheer up today.”

    After eating breakfast with A-rang-nim and Anna-nim, it was 7:50.

    Now it’s time to really go to school.

    “A-rang-a! Be careful and have a good day. Even if unni misses you, hold it in. And even if you want to play games, hold it in. Okay?”

    “Yeah! I got it! I’ll make a lot of friends too!”

    ‘How strange.’

    Until just now, she looked like she didn’t want to go to school, but now she looked like she was looking forward to going to school more than anyone else.

    60

    ‘I guess a child is a child after all.’

    A-rang-nim, who said goodbye to Anna-nim and came to me.

    “Let’s go now.”

    “Understood.”

    ==

    I really came.

    To middle school.

    The middle school I arrived at with my new bodyguard-nunim.

    It was just the time for school, so I could see students wearing the same uniform as me and my bodyguard-nunim going to school.

    The memories of a man in his mid-30s and the memories of 16-year-old A-rang are combined, and he goes to middle school with a combined mental age of mid-40s?

    A normal middle school life is impossible anyway.

    That’s why I remembered the secret technique from my high school days.

    That is, playing games all night and sleeping during class.

    My parents said they didn’t care about studying, so I played games all night right away.

    This is the only way I can keep my game time.

    And I know this method is wrong.

    In the first place, my daughter stays up all night playing games and goes to school to sleep? I would give her 100 spanks on the butt.

    But…

    This is the only way!

    I got caught by my new bodyguard-nunim from the first day.

    I glanced to the side.

    The bodyguard-nunim who is riding in the car with me.

    Black bobbed hair that comes to about her shoulders, a fox-like sharp appearance, a well-built body and muscles that I saw while showering, and a well-proportioned chest.

    She’s so beautiful that you could call her an ice beauty.

    I wondered why such a beauty is a bodyguard, but I quickly erased it.

    That’s right, she really looks young.

    I heard she was 25 years old, but anyone would think she’s just barely an adult.

    But no one would think she’s a middle school student.

    I thought, but that thought didn’t last long.

    Unlike yesterday, there were a lot of students because it was time for school, and those students showed me the middle school students of this era.

    ‘No, is this really middle school? Isn’t it high school?’

    Everyone’s growth was no joke.

    Yesterday, I just felt like they were tall… but when I saw a lot of students, I realized that the kids in this era are generally tall.

    “Wow… daebak, who’s that little kid? Does he go to our school?”

    “Heok, he’s so cute, I’m going crazy. Could it be that famous early admission thing?”

    “Early admission? That could be it!”

    As soon as I got out of the car, the eyes of many students were focused on me.

    That’s because compared to the students in front of me now, I was really at the level of a kindergartener, not an elementary school student.

    Receiving everyone’s attention at once, I entered the faculty room where the homeroom teacher was.

    “Oh my?”

    “Oh my, how cute~”

    “He’s wearing our school uniform?”

    I received the attention of the teachers in the faculty room as well, which was both good and difficult.

    A-rang’s emotions are giggling, and I just want to sleep.

    I’m dizzy from the first day of school.

    I hope class time comes quickly.

    It was the same in the old days, but there’s no time as good for sleeping as class time.
