Chapter 51

"That kid was so terrified with you, Jin. I bet he was scared because he saw your serious face that day." Himari said as she rested her chin on her hand.
"Kids are always scared of me. That's a fact."
"Because you are always so serious! You almost scared me too when Ace introduced me to you and the other managers."
"Liar." Jin said in a flat voice.
Scared of him? Himari? That may be the biggest lie she had ever said as of now. Instead of feeling scared, Himari looked so excited at that time. She even provokes him several times just to get a reaction from him.
"Whatever you say. But that is not the point. My point is, you should smile a lot. You look more handsome whenever you smile, Jin. I bet if a scout will see you smiling right now, they will beg you to join the entertainment industry."
"You are babbling a lot of nonsense, again."
"Jin, I am serious! You are so handsome!" Himari said with bright eyes. "That is one of the things I like about you, you know?"
Jin raised a brow at that statement.
"So you are the type who likes handsome men?"
"Kind of." Himari shrugged. "I just like to appreciate the beauty of other people."
"Tch."
"Aww. Are you jealous? Don't worry. You are the most handsome man I've seen so far. Well, aside from Ace. But don't tell the other managers, okay? They will surely make a fuss about it."
Jin ignore her words and let out a sneer. Praises from Himari never make him feel good. He does not have a firm way yet to know if she is lying or not. He turn his attention back to the children playing at the playground.
"Who are those children?" Jin asked.
"My children from past boyfriends." Himari answered.
Jin turn his head and give her a dirty look. Himari freely laugh and lay on her side while clutching her stomach. A few people in the park look in their direction but they quickly go back to their own businesses when they cannot find anything interesting. Jin remain silent while watching Himari who is still laughing beside him. 
She only stop laughing after a few minutes. Her face is now flushed and there are tears at the corner of her eyes. Though Jin feels a bit displeased towards her, he still helps her to sit up again and give her the pack of tissue that he found behind them. Himari accepts it and wipe the sweat and tears on her face.
"You should have seen your face earlier, Jin. It looks so funny!" Himari said while wiping her tears.
"You have an awful sense of humor, Himari." Jin said while giving her a disapproving look. 
"At least I still have a sense of humor." Himari replied before taking a deep breath. "Wow. I suddenly feel refreshed. Thank you for making me laugh, Jin."
Then Himari move closer to her and give him a quick kiss on his lips. Jin did not show any reaction and just stares at Himari's lips that curved upwards that makes a pretty smile on her face.
“Why?" 
"Hmm?"
"Why did you kissed me?" Jin asked in a whispering voice.
"Do I need to have a reason before I can kiss my boyfriend?" Himari asked him back.
When she did not receive a response from him, Himari plant another kiss on his cheek before she move away and put a distance between them again. Then Himari sits comfortably on her spot and watch the children playing on the playground again. 
"Do you hate it?" Himari asked again.
"What?"
"Do you hate my kisses?" Himari asked. "Because if you will ask me, I definitely like your kisses. Your lips are soft and kissable. If you will give me permission, I am definitely going to kiss your lips as long as I can."
"Tch. How can you be so shameless saying those words in a broad daylight?" Jin hissed.
"Jin, we are already living in the modern world." Himari said while shaking her head. 
"Tch." 
After that, the two become quiet. They can hear the sounds of children laughing, the chattering of those families having their picnics, and the distant sounds of cars around them. The weather is also good. The sun is not too hot and the cool wind is gently blowing that kisses their skins.
"They are the children from the orphanage I built two years ago." Himari suddenly said.
When Jin turn his head, Himari is still watching the kids on the playground. Some of them are playing tag while the others are playing at the playground equipment like a see-saw, slides, monkey bars, and swings. They are filled with laughter and the smiles on their faces never fade.
"Some of them were abandoned by their parents while the others were left in the orphanage because their parents died. The younger kids there just like Reina, the little girl wearing a pink dress, were left in front of the orphanage when they were still babies." Himari said.
"When you said orphanage, do you mean the huge orphanage at the tenth avenue behind the plaza?" Jin asked.
"Oh. So you know that orphanage? Yeah. That is the one I am talking about." Himari said. "I chose to build that orphanage here in Finrel City because this place is much safer than Quintel City. And besides, the Tigers are all around the place so in case something bad happened, we can quickly protect them."
Of course, Jin heard about that orphanage. The place is very huge and the facilities they put inside are all well-built. Lester once donated to that orphanage and Jin joined him out of curiosity. Unlike the other orphanage, the children there are wearing clean clothes and they all look healthy and well-fed. 
Their environment is also good. They have clean bedrooms, several classrooms, and a library filled with books suited for the children in the orphanage. The director is an old lady in her fifties and she looks very gentle and kind. The other staff working in the orphanage are also hardworking and they obviously care about the children. 
When they visited the orphanage, the director told them that the owner was on a business trip. Lester and Jin did not put too much thought into it. Aside from donating a huge amount of money to the orphanage, Lester also used that chance to boost his reputation to the public. It can't be helped since he is a businessman. 
He just did not expect that Himari owns that orphanage.
