"I must say that I am surprised." Jin said. 
"I know, right? I even surprised myself when I decided to build that place. I thought I will be busier with my business and my responsibilities as the leader of Silver Tigers."
"That is not what I mean." 
"Hmm? Then what?"
"I am just surprised that your gaze can become softer like that." 
It is now Himari's turn to be genuinely surprised. She looks at Jin who is observing her again. Himari did not avoid his gaze. Instead, she tilts her head a little so Jin can have a better look at her face. 
"I thought I am a weird and shameless woman?" Himari asked with a smile.
"Of course, you are still that kind of woman." Jin said. "But there are rare times when I still find you interesting." 
Himari raises a brow when she hears that.
"Oh? So you admit that you also like me?"
"Stop twisting my words, Himari."
Himari chuckles and move closer to Jin before resting her head on his shoulder.
"You are attracted to me, Jin." Himari confidently said.
Jin remains silent and watch Himari as she link her hands with his and intertwine their fingers. Himari slowly rubs her thumb on his knuckle in circles. Then she raise their linked hands so they can have a better view of it.
"You see, you are no longer stopping me to hold your hand. You are letting me be near in your personal space and you are no longer complaining about my touches."
"I am just tired of repeating all my warnings to you when it is obvious that you have no intention of listening to me."
"Pfft. Sure, sure. We can also go with that reasoning. But you can't still deny that you are attracted to me."
"You are really that confident, huh?"
"Of course. After all, I am also the same." Himari said in a soft voice. "If you haven't noticed yet, I am physically attracted to you. So why don't we continue this?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why don't we continue our physical relationship? We are both adults, Jin. I am pretty sure you already know what I am trying to tell you. I told you, didn't I? Stop playing dumb. It doesn't suit you at all."
Jin did not answer her again. When he tries to move away, Himari tightenes her hold on his hand and wrap her free arm around his body. In other people's perspective, Jin and Himari are being sweet with each other. 
"Don't worry, Jin. This is only a deal between us. The Dragons and the Tigers are not involved in this. And besides, it is a deal that both of us can easily break. If you suddenly want to stop, then you can do it. I will not force you to stay or continue our deal."
"And what's the catch?" Jin asked. 
"Hmm. Nothing special. Maybe I can stop threatening you that I will break the agreement between the Tigers and the Dragons. Oh! We can also continue being a couple who can physically touch each other without any problems. You can kiss me, touch me or hug me anytime you want. Of course, I can also do the same to you. So do we have a deal now?"
Jin can only purse his lips and look at Himari with squint eyes. This is the first time meeting a woman like her who can propose this kind of deal with him. The women he usually meets are all obedient and do not want to offend him in any way.
Jin just noticed that the bandage on Himari's head is now gone. Himari changed her bandage with a small band-aid and covered it with her hair. If the other woman will have the same injury, they will either cry or complain about it since there is a possibility that it will leave a scar on their skin.
"Silence means yes, Jin." Himari said before kissing his other cheek. "It is nice doing business again with you, Jin Takishima."
"You are really crazy, Himari." That is the only thing that Jin can say in this situation.
"Sure. But this crazy woman is now your girlfriend. So stop complaining and just treat me like a true princess."
"Fine. I will accept the deal." Jin said before he lowered his head to kiss Himari on her lips. "You better not complain about it later, Himari Fujimoto."
 
"Of course, my handsome boyfriend."
Soon, Himari calls the kids so they can go to the nearest restaurant that serves meals for small children like them for lunch. Jin decides to tag along with them. As for his meeting with Lester, he decides to move it to later in the evening. Surprisingly, Lester did not get mad. 
Knowing Lester, Jin is very sure he must be pissed at him right now for canceling their meeting at the last minute. But Lester's responses are all calm. His question is finally answered when he receives a message from Lester. There is a photo attached to it.
It is a photo of him and Himari earlier at the park. Himari is resting her head on his shoulder and their hands were linked together. The angle is also good which makes them look so intimate in the photo. 
'Who took that photo?'
'Gael sent it to me. He saw you with Himari while patrolling the city earlier. Heh. Did not know you are a very intimate lover, Jin.'
Jin stop replying to Lester's messages and put his phone back inside his pocket. Knowing that jerk, he will surely use that photo to tease him. Not only Lester but also Dice, Vincent, and that slacker Gael will tease him non-stop about that photo. Those three loves to court death every time they get a chance.
Jin also noticed while following Himari and the children. There are a few people who are obviously following them from afar. At first, Jin thought they are spies following him or probably Himari. When he told his girlfriend about it, she said Akito sent them to follow her. Himari even mentioned that her bodyguard is on edge for the past few days because of the surprise attack that she encountered at the seaport. 
To appease him, Himari compromised of bringing a few of his men to follow her everywhere while disguising as normal civilians around her. When Jin hears that, he cannot stop himself from asking about her relationship with Akito. They are obviously close to each other.
Himari did not hesitate to tell him the truth. She said Akito is her childhood friend. He was introduced to her when she was still seven years old while Akito was nine years old at that time. Things happened and they treated each other like a true brother and sister. 
Until she becomes the new leader of Silver Tigers, Akito stayed on her side and protected her at all costs. Himari even joked that Akito is too greedy because he also gets the role of a nagging nanny to scold her every single time. With the way she tells him these things, Jin can tell that Himari really cares about her bodyguard.
