"Shifting Boundaries"

As the days turned into weeks, Hyunjin's attitude towards Bangchan continued to deteriorate. He was consistently late, often strolling into the mansion whenever he pleased, and his responses to Bangchan's requests became increasingly curt. Bangchan, however, seemed to be taking it all in stride, his reactions a mixture of amusement and curiosity. But beneath his calm exterior, Bangchan was growing tired of Hyunjin's antics. He had always been a leader, accustomed to getting his way, and Hyunjin's defiance was starting to wear thin. One morning, as Hyunjin sauntered into the kitchen, Bangchan looked up from his breakfast, his eyes narrowing. "Hyunjin, we need to talk," he said, his voice firm, but controlled. Hyunjin raised an eyebrow, his expression skeptical. "What's going on, sir?" he asked, his tone laced with a hint of disinterest. Bangchan set his fork down, his eyes locked on Hyunjin's. "I've been reviewing the security footage, and I've noticed that you've been consistently late to your shifts. You're not taking your responsibilities seriously, and I'm starting to wonder if you're truly committed to this job." Hyunjin shrugged, his expression unapologetic. "I'm doing my job, sir. You're not paying me to be a yes-man." Bangchan's eyes flashed with annoyance, but he took a deep breath, his expression smoothing out. "Hyunjin, you're not just a bodyguard, you're a representative of this company. Your behavior reflects on me, and on us. I expect more from you." Hyunjin snorted, rolling his eyes. "I didn't realize I was working for a PR firm, sir." Bangchan's face darkened, and for a moment, Hyunjin thought he saw a flash of anger. But then, Bangchan's expression changed, his eyes gleaming with a calculating intensity. "I think it's time we had a little...motivation, don't you?" he said, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. Hyunjin's eyes narrowed, a sense of unease creeping over him. What did Bangchan have planned? And how far would he go to get what he wanted? Bangchan stood up, his movements fluid and deliberate. "Follow me," he said, beckoning Hyunjin to follow him. Hyunjin hesitated for a moment, but something in Bangchan's eyes made him comply. He trailed behind Bangchan, his heart pounding in his chest. Where were they going? And what did Bangchan have in store for him? As they walked through the mansion, Hyunjin couldn't shake the feeling that his life was about to change in ways he couldn't even imagine. Bangchan's eyes seemed to gleam with a newfound intensity, and Hyunjin wondered if he had finally crossed a line.
