Julia sprawled out on her bed. Her head hurt from all the details Jin tried cramming into her today. 'Seriously, how can someone be so picky?' She thought. The sound of her phone ringing brought her out of her thoughts. Rolling on her side and grabbing her phone. She couldn't help but smile, seeing who was calling her. "Hey mom."
"How are you settling in?"
Thoughts of Jin's actions came in mind.
"You will address me as master in this house."
"Whenever this thing goes off, I don't care what you are doing or who you are doing it with. You drop everything you are doing and come to me."
"To you, I am the most important thing you should be worried about."
"Errr well, it's going to take some time to adjust to the boss."
The sound of Michelle's laughter gave Julia comfort. "Well they better treat my daughter right, or i'm giving them a piece of my mind."
Julia couldn't help but laugh at the thought of her mom chewing out Jin Kazama."I wouldn't wish that on anyone, but hey... How are you doing?"
"I'm really fine dear, truly, and it's all because of you; You are my hero."
"I didn't do anything though."
"Nonsense, you took me to the hospital, and found me a donor. Who knows how long it would have taken if I were to have wait for one. By the way when will I get to meet the donor anyways?"
"Oh uh... He is a very busy person, I don't know if he has time to chit chat and such. He said he didn't need a thank you and anything like that" She couldn't tell her mom she traded her life as collateral.
"Still, I want to thank him properly. It takes a good human being sacrifice their flesh for someone else."
Julia couldn't help but smile better, her mom was definitely someone she would always hope to be. Humble, kind, and loving. Julia hoped one day she would even come close to the woman she called mother. "Mom?.. I really miss you."
She could hear her mother laughing on the other end. "I miss you too honey, get some sleep okay? I love you."
"Okay mom, I love you too."
Hanging up the phone, Julia could feel need to sleep kicking in. Her mother's words still fresh in her head. "It takes a good human being sacrifice their flesh for someone else."
'Maybe he's really is nice underneath it all.' she thought, before she fell asleep.
Bam!
The sound of Julia's door being kicked open could be heard throughout the house. Only a hard sleeper like Julia could stay asleep from something like that.
Jin stood by her bed stand, equipped with a pot and a spoon in hand. Staring at her at her sleeping peacefully in utter disbelief. "Seriously?" He rose the pot and spoon above his head and began bang them against each other. Julia let out a uncomfortable groan, pulling the covers over her head, and mumbling "Ten more minutes mom."
Jin could feel a vein about to burst from annoyance. Pulling down her cover, and leaning in until he was close to her ear. "Miss Chang."
Julia let out a smile, and still half asleep. She reached out until her hand held his face. "Mmmm, so handsome."
Wait a minute.
She felt the face around some more. Something felt off, it felt too real. Slowly opening her eyes, and indeed there was a Jin Kazama's face in the palm of her hand. "Oh my shit!" Quickly retracting her hand and pulling the covers over her body, even though she was fully clothed. "W-what are you doing here?"
Crossing his arms, and tilting his head slightly to the side. "I came to wake you up, obviously."
"You couldn't knock or call?!"
Tossing her, her smartwatch. She got up, and saw that she had ten missed calls logged. "Oh... Well, to be honest i'm not much of a morning person." her head hung a little low from embarrassment.
"Get up, I need my morning coffee." He said, while turning and leaving her alone in the room.
"What time is it?" She reached for her phone. "Oh, it's only 5:00 AM."
Wait what.
She stared at her phone, then to the door Jin just left. "He isn't a nice person at all." Grumbling as she got out of bed.
Julia set the coffee mug in front of Jin. Picking up the mug, he made sure to inspect it carefully. "You didn't spit in it, did you?"
Julia could feel a vein wanting to burst. Giving him her best fake smile. "No, but if you want to me to that can be arranged, master." The last word dripping with sarcasm.
He gave her a skeptical look, before taking a sip. "Oh wow, it's ACTUALLY good."
"What's that suppose to mean?" She was clearly offended.
"Don't mind him, that's his way of giving you a compliment." Nina's voice, made Julia jump.
"W-when did you get here." Julia asked.
Nina gave her a smile. "Long enough."
"Sometimes I wonder if she is better off as an ninja, or assassin than an assistant." Jin said, before taking a sip of his coffee. "Mm, Nina you need to try some of this, Ms. Chang make her some coffee to-". Looking up he saw her already handing Nina a mug with one hand and the other with her own mug.
"What? You didn't think I made coffee for just you?" Julia said, before sticking her tongue out at him. Nina smiled before taking a sip of her coffee.
"Oh wow, this is great coffee."
"Thank you, at least someone appreciates me here." Julia could feel Jin trying to burn hole in the back of her head with his eyes. Smirking, she left them to talk while she stood behind the counter, and continued drinking her coffee.
"Did you get in contact with the agent?"
"I did, but it looks like she part ways with her agent and changed numbers."
"Make sure to get to her first Nina, I don't want anyone else signing Jaycee before we do." The sound of Julia spitting out her coffee and coughing caught both their attention. "Ms. Change are you trying to make me mad?"
"No, no... I just um, just a little curious why want to meet that person so bad." She said, whiling trying to clean her mess.
"That's none of your business." He took another sip of his coffee. "I have a list of things for you to do today Ms. Chang, make sure it's all done before the end of the day or i'm taking it out of your pay."
"Wait, i'm getting paid?"
He just gave her a look. "You didn't think I would pay for everything did you?"
"Nope, he isn't nice at all."
Julia had spent most of the day, running errands for Jin. It all seem like trivial tasks. From cleaning, to grabbing small items from different stores. She was currently picking up his dry cleaning. To make matters worst it was located in one of the most crowded places in Japan. Hauling freshly clean suits over her shoulders, she made her way through the sea of people. Much to her dismay it seem to be a really busy day. People were all over the place and it made it difficult to move around. The sound of screaming caught her attention. A man in a black hoodie came running down the road with a expensive looking necklace in one hand,and a knife in the other. Pushing people out of the way, he came charging towards Julia's direction. Dropping all the clothes, waiting for the man to get close enough. Once he was in range, she sent a kick into the man's stomach, before following up with a double palm attack. The man went flying, and landing unconscious a few feet away from her. Julia made her way over to the man, and picked up the necklace. The crowd went silent, taking in the events that just unfolded, before roaring into a massive cheer. People gathered around her, she nervously thanked them for the praise until someone grabbed her shoulder.
"Excuse me miss, but that necklace is mine."
Turning around, she was face to face with a man that couldn't be much older than her. Slick back black hair with a orange streak. His frame, and clothing were very fashionable. He was also very attractive, she could only guess he was a model of some sort.
Julia went to hand him the necklace when she notice his hand was bleeding, probably due the the robber. Pulling out her handkerchief, she handed him both items. "Here's for your hand and also your necklace." Noticing the clock behind him, she realize she was behind schedule. "Oh crap, I'm late." Quickly grabbing the dropped clothes, she bolted to the exit.
"Hey, wait!" The man called out to her but he was surrounded with people asking him questions. Looking down at the handkerchief, he noticed what seemed to be her initials. "J.C, huh?"
Paperwork after paperwork, Jin continued looking through and signing stacks of documents. That was the norm for him, Jin was a creature of habbit. He liked having a routine, so a few stacks of papers were nothing for him.
"Uh Jin, you might want to see this." Nina said, turning up the volume of the T.V.
Turning face the television, he snapped his pen when he saw a clip of Julia knocking a man out.
"On today's news. We are joined by Korea's super star Hwoarang Doo San, who was a victim of an attempted robbery crime. Please tell us how it happened." The reporter said, moving her microphone towards Hwoarang.
"Well to be honest it happened so fast, that it's not much say. I was walking to my autograph booth, when someone ran up to me and tore off my necklace. When I went to stop him, he pulled out a knife and cut me. That's when the young lady, stopped the thief in his tracks. She returned my necklace safe and sound. Whoever she is, I hope someday I can repay her back for her kindness."
Jin banged his head on the table. "This girl is a magnet for trouble."
Julia waved to the driver, who was driving off, after dropping her off at Jin's house. She was exhausted from all the running around. All she wanted was to lay in bed and sleep. She still hadn't eaten anything all day. Walking up the stairs, she thought about what to make, when she realize something very important.
She didn't have a key.
Trying to turn the door handle, but of course, it was locked. "Today seriously sucks."
Walking up the stairs, Jin thought of a million ways to scold Julia. Like seriously, you take your eyes off the girl for one minute, next thing you know she off being batman. Approaching the front of the house he saw something he didn't expect. Julia sat on front steps, with his clothes on her lap, her arms rested on top, cradling her head.
That's when he realized he had forgotten to give her a key. Maybe it was because it was a very long time since he lived with someone. How long was she waiting outside? Did she even eat yet? Instead of coming home to scold her, he was the one who messed up. Dropping his suitcase, he carefully picked her up, and made his way in the house. He laid her down on her bed, before taking off her shoes and pulling the covers over her. He sat by her side, noticing some of her hair was covering her face. Gently moving his fingers to remove the hairs, he took a moment to look at her. He would be lying if he said he didn't find her attractive, in fact beautiful even. Though he would never say it out loud, it was nice to have someone to come to.
The sunlight brought Julia out of her slumber. She let out a small moan before stretching her arms out. Checking her watch, she shot up realizing it was already 11 A.m. "Oh man, i'm so dead."
Wait, how did she even get inside?
That's when she noticed the breakfast on her nightstand with a letter. Reaching over to the letter, she began to reading it.
"Dear Miss Chang. Only this once will I let you sleep in. I will apologize forgetting to give you a key to the house. I will have one made for you, so for today, just rest. Jin Kazama."
A smile came to Julia's face. 'Okay, maybe he is just a little nice.' She took a sip out of the coffee he had made for her, before spitting it back in the cup. "Note to self, don't let him make coffee."
