funny thought I had: hyo asking reader for dating advice and reader being like “lose the sunglasses” yk cause hyo has pretty eyes and her being like “but I can’t they’re basically a part of me” and “they make me look cool” “dont girls like that sort of thing??”💀 imagine bada overhearing and telling hyo not to get any funny ideas and to focus on her work 😭 — @aericrys

“What, in your opinion, makes a woman attractive?” Hyo asks you.
You pause. You're currently standing on a ladder, about to reach for another book to read from the Lee mansion’s private and extensive library. “Where’s this coming from?”
Hyo sighs, moving to lean against the ceiling-tall bookshelf behind her. “Promise you won’t make fun of me?”
“Oh come on Hyo, do I seem like the type of friend to do that?”
Hyo cranes her neck up so she makes eye contact with you, quirking her eyebrow with an unamused expression.
“Okay, maybe I am…” you laugh lightheartedly. “But I promise I won’t this time.”
“And you won’t tell the girls or the Boss either,” Hyo adds.
“I won’t, I promise.”
Your bodyguard lets out a dramatic sigh. “I was thinking about getting back into dating–”
“No, way! Really?” You say excitedly, while grabbing the book you wanted.
“Yeah,” Hyo nods. “So I downloaded this dating app–”
“Oh Hyo…” you wince, closing your eyes and shaking your head. “A dating app?”
“What? I thought that’s what people normally do these days,” she says.
“A lot of young people do use dating apps, yes, but mostly for hookups,” you climb up the ladder more, locating another book from your list. “It’s kind of a mixed bag if you want a serious relationship to come from it.”
“Well, I already downloaded it and made a profile,” Hyo huffs. “But all the women I keep matching with suddenly stop messaging me back.”
“Can I see the pictures you have on your profile?” You look down to see Hyo nod, then slowly climb down from the tall ladder, multiple books still cradled in the crook of your arm.
Hyo pulls out her phone, opens the dating app, then shows you her profile.
The pictures aren’t terrible, but they aren’t great either. Although Hyo’s very good at taking photos for other people, it’s clear she hasn’t figured out her angles very well. She has a few taken at slightly awkward angles, but she also looks pretty good in them. You suppose it’s the advantage of being a more masculine woman–you can look good without even trying. And with Hyo already having naturally attractive features, she has a leg up.
“Okay, I already see a massive problem Hyo.” You look over at her, a frown settling on your lips. “You look like you’re scared of the camera in all your pictures.”
“What?” Hyo takes back her phone, squinting at her screen. “No, I don’t.”
“Yes, you do.” You point at a picture where she’s half smiling, half deadpanning, making an odd combination for an expression. “You look terrified.”
“I’m not–”
“But honestly, you could have gotten away with it if you just did one thing.” You cut her off.
“Wha–”
“Take off your sunglasses!” You exclaim, pointing at the black-tinted shades placed on top of her nose bridge.
“What? No!” Hyo says back, her pitch rising. “I can’t, they’re a part of my look.”
“Your look,” you gesture to her figure, “screams ‘I work for a mafia boss, and you should be scared of me!’”
“No, the sunglasses make me look cool,” Hyo argues back, shaking her head. “Wait… they make me look cool, right?”
“Yes Hyo, they can make you look cool, but coupled with the way you dress and your deadpan attitude, it makes you seem cold through text,” you state. “Taking off your sunglasses will show a more human part of you. Besides, you have nice eyes, you shouldn’t hide them.”
“I don’t know…” Hyo trails off, touching the frames of her sunglasses. She shakes her head, “Okay, then tell me what else I can do to make myself more attractive to women.”
“Quite the interesting question to be asking my fiancée, Hyo.” Bada’s voice suddenly echoes through the library, her tall frame standing right next to the door. She has her arms crossed over her chest, and one eyebrow raised upward as she stares your bodyguard down.
“Bada!” You smile widely at her.
“Hello,” she says, a natural and soft smile finding her lips easily as she approaches you. “I took a break and wanted to see you.”
“I’m glad you’re here.” You glance over at Hyo, who’s frozen still in her spot. “We were just talking about–”
“It’s alright, I heard everything.” Bada interrupts you.
“Oh…” You trail off, then nudge Hyo in an attempt at breaking her out of her stupor.
“All I can say is that women like it when you show them a more vulnerable side of yourself.” Your fiancée stops right in front of you and takes the heavy books you’re carrying out of your arms, holding them like their combined weight is nothing.
You shake your arms, having not even realized that they had begun to ache under the weight of the multiple books you’d been carrying. “Thank you.” You say, latching onto Bada’s unoccupied arm.
“You’re welcome, honey,” she says softly, before glancing at Hyo (who is still rooted in her spot), with mild annoyance. “Next time, instead of asking my fiancée for dating advice, do your job and help her carry her books, Hyo.”
Your bodyguard finally springs to life, nodding rapidly. “Yes, Boss.”
