SVT Mingyu bodyguard bullet point headcannon pls love you
a/n: actually i love u more and THAT’S THE TEA also i hope you don’t mind this being kinda short!!
honestly who hired this kid
you’re a famous actress working on a new drama and with your growing popularity, you need a little more muscle when you go to sets and such during your everyday life
well, mingyu fit the bill
looks really good in his standard clean cut black suit
unlike the other bodyguards who wear a white button up underneath, he wears a black one because he was eating breakfast tacos on the job and got salsa on his shirt one time
then he panicked and ran to the bathroom to clean it, but then the other bodyguard came to get him because shooting was over for the day so he had to sit in the van with you on the way back to your agency with his shirt balled up in his hands and his suit jacket showing off his bare chest
he honestly was on his way to getting fired that day because of his “astounding unprofessional antics” but you just laughed and asked mingyu why he wasn’t wearing a shirt and when he told you, you just told your manager who hired him that you wanted mingyu as a permanent bodyguard
since that day, mingyu has felt very thankful toward you and therefore works v hard to protect you in gratitude
since he’s pretty tall and well built, he actually can pack a punch,,, but you’ve never seen him actually throw one
he also looks Gorgeous so when people started seeing him around you on set and paparazzi came to snap pictures, they would assume that he was one of the actors on set and more flatteringly,, your love interest
when it got out he was just your bodyguard tho, he actually started to gain,,, fans?
sometimes when he would show up to an event you had to be at, there would be some ppl there just,, cheering for him
at the very first event, they asked him his name and he was just like “oh!! uh i’m kim mingyu!! nice to meet you :)” and now you can always hear a small chorus of “kim mingyu!”s from the crowd every time he shows up anywhere with you
your manager sometimes asks why you’re not put off by the fact that your bodyguard has fans now but you just think it’s so cute!! the way mingyu gets all nervous and waves all cutely at the group of ppl who without fail come to see him at ur press conferences and such
you’re actually the one that convinces him to make an insta and you post a photo of you attempting to take a picture together, but he’s so tall that you kinda only get half of ur face in it
so he opts to take it for u and he takes it from such a high angle that you honestly wonder if that’s how he sees u all the time,,,
he only posts photos off work or when you’re at an event, he’ll snap a pic of you and write a supportive lil caption like “go see (insert drama/movie here)!!”
he gains quite the following just being your bodyguard (even tho u keep telling him it’s because he’s so handsome)
one day, he escorts you to the set of ur drama and the casting people are like hey,, are u looking for a job
long story short, mingyu ends up getting cast as “handsome boy in coffee shop”
his cameo is pretty small as he only plays the random guy who hits on your character for all of five seconds before the main lead comes in and tells him to buzz off
he only has like three lines
your manager keeps making eyes at him behind the scenes telling him not to fuk it up so the whole time mingyu is like o.o
when it’s time to film that particular scene, mingyu is so nervous that he messes up his introductory line and he feels so bad that he just runs off into a spiel of apologies to you all of a sudden
he’s so incredibly anxious and honestly doesn’t know what he’s doing here, he can’t fathom why anyone would think he’d be good enough to be your bodyguard let alone act alongside you in one of your highly anticipated dramas???
so you just take his hands in yours and shoot him one of your dazzling smiles that he used to only see on tv, but this one feels so much more real than the ones you’d usually show in your dramas
quietly, you whisper to him, “honestly, gyu? don’t be so scared. you’re doing really good, okay? just pay attention to me and don’t worry about everyone else. especially not my crazy manager”
somehow,, ur advice really helps him
because for the next take, he’s a lot less nervous and really doing exactly what you told him
almost too well
in fact, when the main lead comes in he’s supposed to switch his attention but,, he’s still looking at you
and you’re still looking at him. you haven’t even noticed that you’re supposed to do your next line because mingyu just looks so,, sweet,,, adorable really,,, why didn’t you notice how pink his lips were before,,, or how bewitching his eyes were?? was that just the makeup highlighting his features or-
the director calls cut really loudly and you and mingyu both break out of your trances
you both think you’re going to be scolded but the director tells you that you guys should keep the prolonged eye contact when the male lead enters to further showcase the lead’s jealousy in the scene
you both are just like ah hahaha cool :))) what just happened btw
when the scene is finally finished, your manager is So eager to yank mingyu off set but you’re like wait!! he needs to go take off his makeup first
and one of the makeup artists touching up your foundation just laughs and says “we didn’t put anything on him! he just looks like that”
mingyu shrugs shyly and lets your manager finally take him away while you stare after him in awe
the artist just grins, “your bodyguard could give anyone watching this drama serious second lead syndrome, and he’s not even a lead in the first place”
all you can do is nod, a little dazed, a little… curious
