Chapter 43

Surprisingly, Dice was the one who first broke up the fight. If it is their regular day, Dice will never let anyone stop him from causing a scene. Together with Vincent, he is a drama queen who enjoys annoying others. Gael raised an eyebrow and looked at his younger friends, but he said nothing.
"Oh, yeah. The party. So what are the plans?" Gael asked before pushing himself off the couch and sit his body properly. "I heard from Lester that Lily invited a famous chef to cook our food for the party."
"Yes. We also got Lester's approval to use this room for the party later. Can you all see now the efforts me and Vincent made?" Dice proudly said.
"To be honest, I thought we are having a children's party today instead." Gael said before staring at the balloons on the ceiling. "So fucking childish."
"You are all so mean. Even Jin said the same thing to us!" Dice said and acted like he was offended by Gael's words.
"Whatever you say." Gael shrugged. "So where is the birthday girl anyway?"
"We don't know yet." Vincent answered. 
Then he slowly turned his head to look at Jin, who was texting with someone. Dice followed suit, and the two of them stared quietly at the mafia boss. Gael eventually joins them. When Jin notices their gazes on him, he scowls and asks an annoyed question.
"What?"
"Call her." Gael demanded.
"And why should I do that?"
"So we can know her location!" Dice answered.
"Why don't you call her instead?"
"No." Vincent answered with a frown. "We still want to live. I still want to see the sunlight tomorrow."
"What the fuck are you blabbering now?"
"Jin, between friends and girlfriend, I am pretty sure you will choose your girlfriend." Dice added.
"What are you—Tch. Hells."
Jin finally understands what they are trying to tell him. It was the incident in which he 'glared' at Vincent while holding Himari's hands, despite the fact that he was warning her to stop what she was doing. It all started with their mistaken belief that he is possessive of Himari. Their imaginations are undoubtedly filled with shit.
"It is just a simple favor, Jin! And aside from knowing her location, you will also hear her voice. Isn't it hitting two birds in one stone?" Vincent said.
Vincent, Gael, and Dice are all focused on Jin. They are waiting for him to pick up his phone and call his girlfriend. This makes him even more annoyed with them. Jin's phone rings just as he is about to refuse for the last time. It was Himari.
"Oh fuck! Did she know that we are forcing you to call her?" Vincent said while looking around the room. "Is there a CCTV camera here and she is now watching us?!"
Ignoring the artist, Jin pursed his lips before answering the phone. A call from Himari is never a good sign for Jin.
"What do you want?" Jin said the moment he answered the call.
(Well, hello to you too! Is my handsome boyfriend busy today?)
"What are you trying to do?" Jin suspiciously asked.
(Why are you so defensive? You are hurting my fragile heart, Jin.) 
Jin can vividly imagine Himari, despite her soft voice, trying not to laugh in order to continue acting.
"I have things to do today."
(Aww. How unfortunate. I have plenty of time today! Want me to visit you?)
Jin frowns when he heard that. How come Himari still has time to fool around when she was literally attacked last night? She should be busy cleaning up the rest of her enemies so that they do not become a major problem in the future.
(Babe, are you still there?)
"...I'm busy."
(I know. That's why I am visiting you!)
"You are not allowed to go here."
(Eh? Are you in your office? But I should have a special privilege since I am your girlfriend, right? The Dragons should know it.) 
Jin clicks his tongue when she mentioned the Dragons. Of course, the Dragons are aware that they are now 'dating,' and they should show Himari respect if they meet her. Jin, however, did not announce that he is now dating Himari Fujimoto. It was Jack who accidentally told the Dragons about his personal life. 
The majority of Dragons are still unaware that Himari is the Silver Tigers' leader. They all assumed that Jin is in a relationship with a wealthy and attractive businesswoman. He is been informed by some of his men that they are wagering on whether she will be their future mistress. Jin notices that they are not displaying much interest in Himari, but he knows that the Dragons are keen to see her in person to determine whether or not she is suitable to be their boss's wife.
"Why don't you just stay inside your house today?" Jin suggested.
(But I am not in my house though. I am in the hospital.)
"Hospital?" 
When Jin said that, the trio turned their heads and asked him questions.
(Yeah. You see, I am dying now because of blood loss. So before I die, I want to see the handsome face of my boyfriend for the last time.)
"You are speaking nonsensical things again."
Jin hears Himari's laugh on the other line. 
(Fine, fine. I am not dying. They are just changing the bandage on my wound since they stitched it last night. So want to have another date with me after this?)
"No. And I told you I'm busy."
(You are really no fun. Fine then. I will just have a nice lunch date with Ace then. Who knows if I can meet another handsome man later, right?)
"What did you—"
Himari hangs up before Jin can finish his sentence. Of course, that woman has the nerve to end their call just like that. She is always the bold and fearless one. 
"So what did she said? And why did you mentioned the hospital earlier? Did something happened?" Dice asked.
"Stop asking me like a gossiping woman." 
"Just answer our questions!"
Jin clicks his tongue.
"She will have lunch with Lester today."
"Oh. Then Lester will surely hold Himari's time until we finish our preparation. But what about the hospital?" Gael asked.
"She was too clumsy last night and hit her head somewhere. She went to the hospital to change her bandage."
"Oh no. Is she okay now?"
Jin scoffs when he heard Vincent's question. 
"We are talking about that woman. Of course, she is going to be okay."
Gael comes to a halt and looks at Jin after they both nod. The detective's face then breaks into a playful smile. Jin has a bad feeling about this.
