Jin returned to Mishima Zaibatsu headquarters after a nice shopping session with Lee. Apparently, he was even more experienced then he thought. When Jin approached a gorgeous red dress, he stopped him stating it would remind her of Anna even more. A silk red dress was Anna's signature look. Jin already had slept with her… Therefore, he should have avoid anything like that. Lee advised a tight satin navy dress with a beautiful slit across the leg. Time did not pass that day. It was still considerably early. Jin didn't know where Nina was, however he did not want to call her. The building was too big for him to check every place possible. He hoped she would be in her office and headed there. He felt very nervous. When he knocked she told him to come in with a stern voice, not expecting him. When she saw Jin, she did not say anything at first glance. She seemed a little bit disappointed. "Is there a problem, sir?" asked she waiting for Jin to talk. Jin took a deep breath. Sat on a chair and looked her in the eyes. "I want to apologize Nina. For my behavior this morning." Nina showed no emotion. "That's not necessary sir." She said. She returned to her work and started disregarding Jin again.
"But it is. We had fun this morning. Didn't we… I should have been more clear about the pin." He gulped. Nina raised her head. Jin closed his eyes. "When you smashed me through that glass… Pain made me feel the devil and it was too strong. When you touched me, I saw him… I was angry and fearful… I never meant to call you a psychopath. I don't think you are… I'm sorry." He was hesitant but he made eye contact. Nina's cold blue eyes were piercing through his bright chocolate ones. She didn't say anything. Jin sighed. "Just let me take you out tonight." Nina cut the eye contact and turned to her computer. "I have important work to finish off and need to patrol tonight, sir. I can't go out." Jin frowned. "You're off duty tonight, regardless of my dinner offer… You're not going to work on your birthday. I'm telling you this as your boss." She didn't seem like she cared. Jin tried her one more time. "I'm asking you out as a friend. I just want to make my friend feel good on her birthday. I didn't make a good start, did I? Please, just have dinner with me." Nina was still silent. Jin took a deep breath. He was stern this time. "You're going to have dinner Nina, might as well eat with me." He said. "We can talk about our plans against Kazuya?! He said smiling with an enthusiastic voice. Jin could swear he saw her crack a smile. "Fine." She said. "What time?" Jin smiled. Lee was right. She was a woman after all. He gave her the bag he was carrying. "Wear this." He said. "And wear your hair down." She rolled her eyes. "Jin…" reacted she. He smiled, it was comforting to hear her say his name instead of sir. "Please." He said kindly. "I will pick you up from your room at 7 o'clock sharp. She merely nodded. Jin triumphantly left her office. He was at least carrying some of his plans.
Jin was ready to pick her up. He broomed his hair one last time in the mirror. He was looking sharp with a tuxedo. He picked up purple roses that Lee chose for her. It was completing her signature look according to him, her sexy purple uniform. His apartment was still undone, he got ready in the office. He understood that women may need longer time to get ready. He waited for a couple minutes to pass time in his office. It was only kind to be fashionably late. It was ten passed seven when he showed up at her door, knocking gently. She didn't make him wait. She was ready to go. She looked absolutely wonderful. Her beautiful physique was showing through the tight dress. She wore her hair down like Jin asked her to do. He was impressed. "Wow…" he said with a soft voice. "You look beautiful." She looked at the clock turning her head against him. "You're late." She mumbled. Jin smiled. "I was trying to give you more time to get ready." He said apologizing. "Clearly you didn't need it." Nina smiled clumsily this time. Jin gave her the flowers. She stood awkwardly holding the flowers for a moment. "Thanks." She said. "But what do I do with these?" Jin couldn't help but laugh at her inexperience. "Maybe put them in some water?" She carried them inside hurrying. Jin followed her without her permission. "This will do." He said picking up the vase that was standing in in the corner. "Put some water in it." She smelled them after she was done. "They are pretty." She said with a weird look on her face. "I'm not fond of pretty but they make me feel nice. Thank you." Jin smiled and took her hand. "Come on, we don't want to be late." She let him keep her hand. Jin was surprised because she always had been very reserved before. They took the elevator to reach the parking lot. Jin's black Lamborghini was in front of them. He helped her get in. She looked like a beautiful swan in his front seat. Jin smiled and got in. He was almost proud that she was sitting next to him. "I'm really glad that you agreed to have dinner with me." Nina didn't answer. But she looked into his eyes through his mirror. Jin did not know if this was a good idea. Nevertheless, he hoped it would go smoothly. "I'm sorry I overreacted when you gave me her present. I never thought she would ever give it to me… I couldn't imagine otherwise." When Jin looked at her face, there were no apparent emotion. It still felt like she was sincere. Jin knew she would not say it if she hadn't meant it. "It's alright Nina… I probably deserved it." Nina smiled for the first time. "For sleeping with my sister?" asked she. "Nina…" bellowed he feeling awful. His eye pupils were dilated. He presumed that she wasn't aware of the situation. It felt like she forgot with rage. The Nina Jin knew, would never have let it go. He was getting ready for a lecture. He was extremely tense.
"Relax Jin." Nina warned him. They were on the road. He didn't say anything, and concentrated on driving. When they arrived he clumsily escorted Nina out. They were greeted as VIP guests. Jin didn't know what to do. She didn't seem mad, but this was Nina. Jin was never successful at reading her emotions. He was grateful with the quick service when they were handed out the menus. He quickly hid behind it. Nina watched him being tortured smilingly. He was feeling her eyes upon himself. When the waiter arrived again he asked for the most expensive red wine they had. He ordered the steak for himself and Nina. Nina didn't make a noise until now. "You really thought I didn't know?" said she sneering. He was sweating. It felt extremely hot in the restaurant. "I'm so sorry." Said he. "I didn't plan it… I never meant to be with anyone let alone Anna…" Nina looked sympathetic and patted him on the arm. "Relax Jin…" said she. "We've been working for a long time now…" She smiled. "I've never seen you getting lucky with someone. I know she can be irresistible when she wants to be." Said she with a fading smile. "Trust me… I know." Her voice was not so confident now. Jin knew what she talked about. Anna told him how he stole her first love and how Nina got the way she is… "You've never been like this with me before." Nina smiled. "Wasn't I your friend? That's what you said." Jin smiled. "Yeah, I should have noticed… You're not calling me sir." Nina smiled seductively. Jin felt the shivers. There was something about her. She smiled rarely. When she did… The whole world seemed pointless. "Don't get your hopes up, it's only for tonight." Said she. Jin sulked. "Come on Nina." Nina shrugged. "A professional relationship between us will benefit both of us Jin." He wasn't happy. He didn't want a professional relationship. He wanted a friend. Nina understood him. Nina was there for him. Nina beared his bullshit. Nina made clever plans with him. She was the most capable fighter Jin saw. She made Jin feel safe. Jin took a sip from his wine in silence. Nina brushed her foot against his leg. "It's my birthday. I'd rather your attention here." Pointed she herself. Jin couldn't help but smile. Their meals arrived. They started their dinner in peace. It wasn't going as Jin expected. He was completely grateful.
"What was Lee doing in the building today?" asked Nina curiously as they were eating. "Ahhhh… You saw him huh?" said he, scratching the back of his head. She smiled. "It's my job to do so." Jin smiled. "I asked for help. I wanted to mend my relationship with you. He's a smart guy when it comes to women." Nina rolled her eyes. Jin smiled again. "You've got to give him credit, here we are having a nice night." Nina rolled her eyes again but Jin could tell she was smiling slightly. It was nice talking to Nina like that.
When they were over with their dinners, there was an awkward silence between them. Jin didn't know what to say. She was still watching over him, slightly intoxicated. He poured her some more wine, just to have. She was smiling at his every gesture. He started to listen to the music uncomfortably. It was almost like a lullaby in Jin's ears. "Would you like to dance?" he asked quickly. He couldn't even believe himself for a second. What was he thinking? She was going to crush him.
That night kept surprising Jin over and over again. She didn't deny him the opportunity. She seemed confused, but she was cooperative. He took her hand before she could change her mind and dragged her to the dance floor. When Jin grabbed her waist she was shaken slightly. She probably did not expect him to be so close to her. "Is everything alright Nina?" he asked. "I can move away if I'm bothering you." Nina blushed slightly. "No, it's alright." Jin was sneering now. Nina was intrigued. "What?" she asked. Jin grabbed her slightly harder while leading her. She wasn't doing a bad job, following his steps. He caressed her hair. "Oh, you know…" he said torturing her. "I just made Nina Williams blush." Nina sulked and suddenly stepped on his foot. "Oops.." Jin knew this was on purpose. He didn't mind and just laughed. "Oh well…" He really liked touching her body. Jin really missed a woman's touch. He started to realize that the other night wasn't enough for him. After 2 years of being single and depriving himself from the best years of his life, he started to notice that his body was not cooperating with his mind. He was still young. He was only 21. He looked at Nina curiously. "Nina?" he asked. He didn't even know how old she was. She raised her eyes at him. "How old are you?" She laughed. "I thought, you weren't supposed to ask women that." She said. Jin looked away. He was kind of feeling embarrassed. She smiled in the end. "Biologically I turned 24 today. Biographically I turned 43." Jin felt weird. A woman twice his age was turning him on. He felt very guilty about that too and quickly shut off his mind. "Happy birthday." He said again. "No matter what your age is, you're still the best looking gal around." She smiled dangerously. The expensive wine was starting to affect them both. "That was some wine." Said she . The smile she put on was finally fading. Jin twirled her around. "Lucky we have some more." She was very pleasant. It was odd seeing such a hardass in girly clothes, being pleasant. "I'm having a really good time." The song was over now. Jin escorted him back to the table and poured her some more wine. They didn't speak for a while and listened to good music. Alcohol was taking over Jin's decision mechanism now. He got up and moved his chair closer to Nina. His head was spinning a little bit. Nina smiled vaguely. "I thought you were supposed sit over there." She said pointing at his old spot. He sneered and shushed her. "I wanted to be close to you." He whispered in her ear. Surprisingly, she didn't actually stop him. "What for?" she whispered as well. Jin clapped his hand. A cake came towards their table from the kitchen. She smiled. When she was about blow out the candles Jin stopped her. "Uh-uh… Make a wish first." She rolled her eyes. "I wish…" Jin put his finger against her lips. "It won't come true if you tell me dear." She rolled her eyes again. And blew out the candles. Jin never knew whether she made a wish or not. After she cut the cake he clapped his hands again and the servers brought Nina her present. She looked intrigued. "What is this?" asked her to Jin while taking the box from the server. It seemed like a jewellery box. It was covered in pearls. Jin smiled. "That is your present." She frowned. She hadn't opened the present yet. "You already got me a present." Jin shrugged. "That was from Anna, this is from me." She was surprised. She clumsily opened the box. She was looking at his mother's knife in bewilderment. Jin gulped. "It was really hard choosing you a gift. You're not an ordinary girl. Then I decided I had the present all along." He looked at her with the most affection he could. "This is a family heirloom. It was my mom's knife. I've never been a knife guy. But I know someone who loves knives." She was in shock. She was speechless. "Jin…" said she with difficulty. Her eyes were tearing up. She closed them immediately. "I can't… I can't take this." Jin held her hand. "I want you to." He took a pause. "You're the only friend I have for a while. As much as you tell me you're not my friend. As much as you indicate that I'm only your boss…" His eyes were tearing up too. "You are… I want you to be. You understand me better than anyone." She held his hand. "I want to be professional because I didn't want to make anything complicated. It's easier to obey because I'm getting paid instead of loving you or respecting you." This was odd coming from Nina. But they were honest with each other today. "Please take it Nina. I can't think of anyone worthier. Just something to remember me by." She gulped too. "Jin…" she said a with tear falling down to her chin. He instinctively wiped her face with his thumb. "Will you take it?" She smiled and nodded. "I'm really tired. Can we go home?" she asked. He was more than willing to go home. The valet went to get his car back and they got up. His black Lamborghini was awaiting them in front of the restaurant. He wasn't sure if he were feeling to well to be driving but he got behind the wheel anyways. She closed her eyes as soon as they were in. He wasn't sure whether she was sleeping but he drove to Mishiba Zaibatsu. They were soon home. He noticed she wasn't sleeping when they parked the car. She got out quickly and took her present from the back of the car. Jin decided he was going to walk her to her apartment. They took the elevator. And got out on Nina's floor. Jin followed her to her room. She didn't make a complaint. Jin didn't want to leave when they arrived. He thought it would be asking too much if he came in. He leaned in for a hug. Surprisingly, she let him. She smiled. "Thank you. I had a really good time." And kissed him on the cheek. Jin was extremely shocked. "Wow." He said involuntarily. "I did not see that coming." She opened the door. "Is your apartment done?" asked she before going in." He gulped. "Not yet…" he said. "Where are you going?" asked she curiously. "To my office. A little work, a little sleep." He mumbled clumsily. She opened the door wide open. "Come in." she said. Jin was hesitant. He did not want to cross her lines. "Nina…" he said without knowing the second sentence. "Come on in." she resisted. He sighed. "We're pretty drunk. I don't want you to wake up and kick my ass for crossing your lines." She smiled. "I'm not drunk. I know what I'm doing. Come on in." she said for the third time. She reached his arm. "It's easier to protect you when you're here, right besides me. Just come on." They smiled at each other. They were polite enough. Jin came in happily. Nina went to put the box in her room. Jin sat on her couch. Examining her apartment. He never really came here after he gave her the place. He let her decorate it the way she wants.. Jin noticed it wasn't as big as Jin's. It was pretty nice. The couch was wine colored and Jin liked it. There was a big flat screen in front of it. Behind the couch there was a big kitchen with a nice glass table. She had a beautiful view out of her living room. He was gazing.
She came in rather quickly. "Do you want to watch a movie or something?" asked she sitting right besides him. "I thought you were tired." He said smiling. Nina shrugged leaning on her back. "I don't know. I never had a sleepover. What do people do when they have sleepovers?" Jin started laughing. It was indeed a sleepover. They were only friends. Jin had no other purpose. "What's so funny?" she asked indignantly. Jin stopped laughing abruptly. "Nothing, I just… I never thought we were having a sleepover but we are. 2 adults…" he sighed. "Last time I had a sleepover I was 14. We stayed up, talked about girls and played a bunch of videogames." She looked confused. "Do you want to do that?" Jin smiled. "No…" he said. "We were just kids.." There was an awkward silence. "I guess most adult sleepovers end up with sex now."Jin sneered at her, enjoying the fact that she'd be uncomfortable. Nina smiled. "In that case you had a sleepover with my sister last night." Jin felt awful. "Nina…" he said his voice trembling. Nina did not seem to mind. "Relax Jin." Said she just like in the car. "Do you have any clothes?" asked he nonchalantly, he was trying to change the subject as well. "I don't want to sleep in my tux." Nina laughed. "No, sorry. I don't have any clothes for men." Jin sighed. And removed his jacket and his bow. Nina got up and went to get her watch. "I will order them here." She said. "What do you need?" He felt stupid for not thinking of it. "Just some pajama bottoms." He said. In seconds maids fetched them what they ordered.
Jin gladly removed his shirt and while he was ready to remove his pants Nina stopped him. She was laughing. "What are you doing?" Jin was confused. "Just changing?" She rolled her eyes and left. "Don't be a flasher." Jin found that weird. In the morning he welcomed her in nothing but a towel, but underwear was out of bounds? He let her leave the room before he put on his pajama bottoms. Nina came out of her room with nothing but a lose shirt on. Jin could see her underwear. "So you're allowed to show underwear and I'm not?" She shrugged while getting on the couch. "You're the highly attractive one." She said. "You know, you managed to screw my sister. She's only impressed by the best." Jin sighed. She wasn't going to let that one go. "You're aware that I'm still your boss?" He said. "I can forbid you to talk about this." Then she smiled. "I can resign. You wanted a friend. I can be only a friend. And talk about it as much as I want." Jin laughed. "How kind of you." He was starting to feel a lot closer to Nina. He was already physically attracted to her. He didn't want to like her too. "Do you want some coffee?" she asked abruptly. She seemed lively. It was so not Nina. "Yeah, it would be great." Answered Jin. She got up and started her coffee maker. She was leaning against the counter while waiting. She looked beautiful. He sighed again. She raised him an eyebrow. "Do you want me to be honest?" She looked intrigued. She filled the machine with coffee and started to wait. "Tell me." She said turning her behind to him. Jin sighed again. "You really are attractive and you're not even aware how attractive you are." He didn't know what else to say. "You're a good friend and my right hand. I don't think of you that way. At least I try not to… I respect you. But it's really hard." He let off some steam. "I'm still young… You excite me, as much as I'm ashamed of it…" Nina turned her front again. She was smiling dangerously again. "You want me?" Jin layed flat on her couch. "I don't know Nina." He said quickly. "I guess I want everyone that's attractive to me…" he gulped and hid his face. "I'm still 21. I want to have sex. I want to have sex a lot." He couldn't believe the words escaping his mouth. It was inappropriate. He blamed the wine. She started laughing. "You just had sex. Yesterday. I'm sure it was good too, I could hear your moans." Jin was really embarrassed. "You're not serious." He said with a scarlet face. Nina laughed. "Yeah I heard you. You kept me awake all night. Then I went to sleep in my living room." Jin was mortified. "Oh god…" he said looking at the ground. "That's what she said." Said Nina laughing and poured some coffee for him and herself. Jin couldn't even look in her eyes now. He had just admit he would love to bone Nina and now this… Nina reached his arm folding her legs. "It's fine." She sipped her coffee. "You're usually highly sarcastic. I've seen you shrug off worse without getting embarrassed. What's with you?" He sighed. "I just wanted to get away from it all. I guess this is how I'm like." Nina kept drinking her coffee. "It's all okay. Like you said, you're 21. It's fine what you're feeling." Jin reached for his coffee. "It's okay to want to have sex today, right after you had sex yesterday too. How long has it been since the last time anyway?" Jin shrugged. "I never had sex after I learned about my devil gene. I was only 19 when I learned. Before that… I wasn't… I was just a teenager… Didn't have sex that often." She sighed. "Why abstinence anyway? It doesn't even make sense…" Jin took a big sip out of his coffee. "I can't risk passing on the gene." She rolled her eyes. "Ever heard of birth control?" Jin sighed. "It's never 100% safe. Is it?." Nina didn't say anything. Jin was curious. "Nina have you ever?" Nina started laughing. "Jin, I have a son! You know Steve better than I do…" It was the first time Jin ever heard her acknowledging she had a son. She got pregnant during crayogenic sleep… They never knew the father and Nina refused to have a bond with him. Jin didn't want to bug her with questions about her son. "When was your last time?" Nina gulped. "It's been a little over 20 years." She said. Jin tried really hard not laugh. It was his own direction. He was actually trying hard not to laugh at his own path. "Sex probably have changed since your last time." Nina started laughing and punched his arm. "Probably." She said. "I was busy with Anna. Never had time for men." Jin shrugged. "Haven't you missed it? At all?" She blushed slightly. "I only had sex once. It wasn't that great. He cheated on me. I hated men for a while. Jin knew the whole story. She didn't want to embarrass her. He kept quiet and didn't ask further questions. He got up and put his phone into Nina's Dock. He was looking for something romantic: " Can't Help falling in love by Elvis Presley." He reached out to her. She smiled but rolled her eyes. She still took his hand. Jin pulled her as close as he could. She rested her head on his chest while swinging gracefully. This was nice. Jin wasn't expecting anything from her. But just to be like that… It was nice. Nina was human… Nina had feelings. It was very graceful indeed. He could smell her beautiful blonde locks. Who would know that they would smell like strawberry?
The song was over quickly Jin wished it never was over. But it was now replaced by another Elvis song: Jailhouse Rock which wasn't such a romantic song. It got Nina going though. She seemed cheerful. She started swinging as soon as it started. Jin laughed at her. Nina did not seem to care. "Oh come on. You know how to dance!" she was screaming her lungs out. She couldn't contain herself. It was new to Jin seeing her like that."No, I don't. Not like that." said Jin. He was looking at her seeming interested. "Oh Everyone knows these moves. How can you not know it?" Nina was dancing like a crazy person. Jin could not stop smiling." Yeah! Everyone, who was young 20 years ago." Nina stopped dancing abruptly. "Oh…" said she. Her smile faded. "I keep forgetting that 20 years of my life has been stolen." She stopped the music. "Yeah, I guess everything is different." Jin held her hand apprehensively. "Hey…" said he. "You okay?" She nodded and curled around in her chair. Jin rolled his eyes. He knew he was going to regret what he was about to say :"Teach me."
She looked amused. "What?" H e stood up, gave his hand to her and played the music again. He pulled her arm to make her get up. "Teach me." He whispered her ear. "And I'll teach you a current dance." She smiled and got up. "Okay, well. This in't too hard. Just move fast." She started gliding on the floor. Jin laughed and took her lead. "This is fun." He said. She screamed again. "Of course it is, I'm doing it." Jin never saw this side of her. He was more than glad that he asked her out. When the song was over he could swear that Nina was giggling. She threw herself to the chair, clearly out of breath. Jin did not leave her alone. He just went to his phone, he was going to teach her to dance to a current song. It was only hard choosing the song. He wanted to touch her all over. He took advantage of the situation. He turned on the weeknd and looked at Nina. "Now, I believe, is my turn." Nina got up again. "This is too slow." Said she sulking. Jin didn't regard her complaint and placed his hands on her waist. "Move your hips." Said he moving his own. She started doing what he said. And Jin's hands reshaped her movements. "This is boring." She said smiling. Jin turned her around in an instant. He pressed her against his own body. He had what he wanted. Both of them were moving their hips. His strong arms closed her arms. His head was resting on her shoulder. He whispered in her ear. "Is it still boring?" asked he. Nina did not answer. Jin couldn't see her face. She didn't stop him, he took that as a good sign. He really wanted to land a kiss on her smooth neck. It smelled really nice, like vanilla. When the song was over, he had a hard time letting her go. She seemed uncomfortable. He sat on the sofa and stared at her. "What?" he demanded. She shrugged. "What Nina?" he demanded with a stern voice. "Nothing." Said she. "It was just, too close for me." Jin sighed. "I think I've been closer to you, especially when we're fighting." He was starting to regret his choice. Was it too much? Was he pushed his luck? Did he ruin everything? She rolled her eyes at him looking almost disgusted. " Yeah, sure…." She said throwing herself to her couch. Jin saw that she tried to cover her legs, a little more. She didn't seem as comfortable as before. "But you don't poke my butt doing it." She added with a voice so low that it was almost silent. Jin went scarlet again and looked down. He didn't even notice he was hard, he was lost in the moment. "Oh…" he said. It made everything worse. "I'm sorry. I never noticed it." He covered himself with a pillow he took from the couch. Nina gulped. "It's late." Said she. Getting up. "I'll bring you some sheets and a pillow." Jin was more than embarrassed. He got up after her. "Nina, please." He said. His voice was trembling. He regretted his choices deeply. He tried to use Nina to his benefit. It was indeed, disgusting.
"I… I didn't mean to, I didn't even notice it." Nina was already in her room getting his stuff from her wardrobe. "Yet…" she said looking down at his crotch. "You don't seem to regret it." Jin sighed. "I can't control it, no one can." Nina however, had it with him. She placed her hands on her hips forgetting about the sheets. "For fucks sake Jin, you slept with my sister yesterday and now…" She was getting scarlet, it definitely did not suit her usual cool tone. "Now, you're poking me with your little poking device. How am I supposed to feel about this?" Her hair was messed up now and she was breathing irregularly. "It's not my poking device Nina." Said Jin uneasily. " And, it certainly isn't little." He screwed up. He shouldn't have made jokes about it now, It wasn't appropriate, It didn't suit the mood. He felt that he fucked up everything he touched. He was right. His stupid joke was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Nina jumped on him. It was almost a reflex for Jin to pin her down to the bed. "I'm sorry." Said he. "I just tried to make you laugh." Nina kicked him. "Let me go!" said she. "I've got the upper hand, You can't escape." When she tried to kick him one more time, Jin felt it would be best if he laid down on her. He was heavier than her. Even though she was freakishly strong, there was no getting out of it. She was still struggling. He sighed. "I know that you're angry and you have every right to be." Said he piercing her bright blue eyes. "What I did was terrible and I feel ashamed for what I did." He closed his eyes. "I'm very attracted to you. I'm sorry, I just am. I don't think of you that way, I don't have feelings for you and I promise you I won't develop feelings which may bother you." He was nervous. He relieved his grip on her as she stopped struggling. "But you're the most beautiful thing I've ever laid my eyes on. Tonight was… Perfect… You were stunning, I had so much fun with you. I got a little caught up and I'm sorry." He lifted his grip on her completely. He was still on her but she could get rid of him whenever she wanted to. "Please forgive me." When he finished he saw tears piling up in her eyes. "Oh god." Said he. This was the most incredible thing he had ever seen. Nina never cried. Not when she was hurt, not when she killed and not when she hurt someone. She was the toughest thing in the planet. Jin hurried himself to the kitchen and brought some tissues to her bedroom. He helped her up and handed her a tissue. "I'm so sorry." He said, caressing her hair. "I never meant to make you cry." She dried her eyes but they were wet again in a second. "Do you need a hug?" She shook her head sideways. "I'm sorry." She said. "You just… Hit a nerve." Jin knew what she was talking about and he didn't say anything out of respect. He caressed her hair again. "You're human Nina, you don't need to apologize for crying." Nina didn't look him in the eyes. "It makes me weak." He held her hand. "It makes you human." He was smiling but she never saw. "You manage to look beautiful even when you're crying. It breaks my heart, honestly." She smiled this time. "Am I beautiful Jin?" Jin squeezed her hand that he was holding. "Yeah, you are. The most beautiful girl I've ever known." She giggled for a second and squeezed back. "Thank you." He embraced her for a second. Then got up at his feet. "Hey, thanks for everything but I think I'm just going to head back to my office." He was really embarrassed for everything and clearly made her extremely uncomfortable about their little situation.
She got to her feet too. "Oh?" she said. She sounded disappointed. "Yeeaah…" said he scratching his head. "I embarrassed myself enough for the day. I'll see you tomorrow for more." She laughed and wiped the last tears off of her face. "You're fine. Thank you for everything. This was the nicest night I've ever had." He smiled and headed for the door until he heard his name: "Jin." She was standing just a couple steps further from him. "If you can…" She gulped. "And If you want too…" She seemed uncomfortable again. Jin smiled at her. He thought for a second if she'd ask him to stay a little more. "I mean, I had fun tonight and your office isn't cozy…" She gulped. It was really troubling to talk. Jin realized that he was right all along. He decided to help her. "Nina, is it okay if I stayed the night?" She smiled and nodded. "I'm tired." She said. "Are you tired?" He nodded. He was amazed by her attitude. Apparently, she was grateful. He went to her bedroom with her and got the sheets along with the pillow. She looked at him with a curious look on her face, one that Jin never saw before. "You can sleep here." Said she slowly. "You already felt me and like you said, we've been close. There is no harm in sleeping in an actual bed." He smiled. He knew she needed comfort and he did not argue. He felt that it was not the wisest decision but he certainly didn't want to hurt her. "Which side is yours?" She scratched her head. "Middle." She mumbled. Jin laughed and went to the left side of the bed and got under the covers. "Come then." He said. She got in carefully. He could hear her heartbeat from a mile away. "Just, come here." Said he pulling her towards herself. "This is normal, okay?" said he resting her head on his own chest. "This is for one night only, and it doesn't mean anything. We can be as professional as you want starting tomorrow." She seemed much more comfortable now. She let herself go. "Thank you." She mumbled. She was listening to Jin. She laid her head on Jin's chest and embraced him tightly. He was free of any thought crossing his mind now. He could watch the world burn, and not care if he had Nina with him.
