"I still don't think Andrea did anything to Sal, he's a savage but in bed only, hehe."
"I did not wanna hear that remark Niko..."
"Why? you're jealous of Andrea?"
"Of course I'm jealous! Niko...he was your first." Jin replied as he poured Nikolai a cup of freshly made lemonade.
Smirking, "If it gives you any closure, I'm not going to sleep with him anymore, now that I'm with you." Nikolai said sipping on his lemonade, it was a bit too sour for him, he made a funny expression.
Jin cluelessly asked while pouring himself a cup as well, "I'm still kind of confused, are we like dating for real now? was that ice cream date really our first real date? I genuinely thought it was just a game you suggested, because you were depressed from being suspended of acting due to your condition."
"No it wasn't a game! I told everyone we're dating for real because we are! I even told my dad that!" Nikolai replied surprised, "But I thought we're faking it? I thought you said we'll pretend until Andrea is back again as your manager." Jin replied back.
"It was my fault thinking you would take a hint, you dumbass...I guess our way of Love, is being stupid together."
"Niko you're being mean again."
"JIN I DON'T WANT TO FAKE IT ANYMORE! I REALLY LIKE YOU, AND I'M ALSO HORNY FOR YOU." Nikolai Shouted feeling embarrassed.
"GOODNESS NIKOLAI! I GET IT! NO NEED TO RAISE YOUR VOICE! I'M NOT THAT DUMB!" Jin Shouted back while blushing.
Sighing, "Are you happy now?" Nikolai asked, "I am." Jin simply replied with a red face.
Calming down a bit, "How sweet, you know what else should be sweet? this lemonade." Nikolai said.
"Eh?" Jin was confused, "It's too sour for me, Dummy." Nikolai explained, "Oh! I just remembered, I forgot to taste it when I made it!" Jin replied blushing even harder, he hurriedly grabbed the sugar and added some to Nikolai's cup, all while Nikolai smiled At him.
"Here, try it." Jin said and Nikolai did so, "It's perfect, thank you Jin." Nikolai replied.
Happy, Jin smiled with his teeth, and although Nikolai couldn't see it well, he figured Jin must be smiling like an idiot at him.
Fighting his own blush, "Tch, This feels nice...I mean you and me having breakfast in my kitchen, after sleeping on my bed... you even made us pancakes and lemonade.
I like it, how peaceful and boring this is." Nikolai commented while sipping his now sweet lemonade.
"Me too!...We're being domestic, like a married couples.
Sharing your bed, helping you dress up and Cooking for you...it makes me feel like I'm your husband." Jin replied making Nikolai chuckle.
"Don't say cute stuff while I'm drinking, I don't wanna choke again." Nikolai said sipping more.
"Speaking of cute stuff!...Earlier I took something cute from your garden." Jin said standing up, he went over to the kitchen countertop and grabbed a small white ceramic vase with a single Lily flower in it.
"I hope you don't mind that I took one of your Lilies from the greenhouse and placed it in a vase.
For some reason When I saw it, I thought it would look cute as a decoration...I know you can't see the flower clearly but its scent is very strong, I thought you might like to smell it since you haven't been in your own greenhouse in a while." Jin said Puting the small vase on the table in front of Nikolai.
Leaning closer to the flower, Nikolai sniffed the air and was met by the Lily's soft yet somewhat spicy scent, it also carried a hint of Honey like smell with it.
Smiling, "You picked a Lily, just like your mother." Nikolai spoke, "Yeah, I know I should have asked your permission to take the flower before doing so... but I couldn't resist." Jin replied staring at Nikolai.
"It's okay, I don't mind it...and you're right, the scent is quite strong." Nikolai said sniffing it again, "If it's possible later, can you grab more and put them in my bedroom?" He then asked.
"Of course! you want me to pick just the Lilies? your greenhouse is full of all kind of Flowers." Jin said.
"Take one of each, I wonder how the combination would smell like." Nikolai replied.
"Alright...just a bit curious, how did you get into gardening or at least into planting flowers?" Jin asked.
"Andrea, he loves it...I thought that if I shared a hobby of his, it would bring us together." Nikolai Answered with a soft smile.
Frowning, "Of course, it's gotta be Andrea." Jin said scoffing.
Chuckling, "What happened to calling him Mister Andreoli? Are you that jealous of him?" Nikolai asked, "Are you kidding me...that man is...*Sighing* whatever, I don't feel good about him." Jin replied Angrily.
Sighing as well, "Jin, you've been quite agitated with Andrea, it's more than just jealousy.
Last night you suggested he would do something harmful to Salvatore, what would make you suggested something like That?
Honestly Andrea may punish Sal, but I don't think it's going to be anything serious.
He'll probably send him back to Italy and ban him from ever coming near me." Nikolai said, "The man tried to kill you! Salvatore should be in jail not on a plane!
Besides The first time Andrea sent Salvatore to Italy, it was because he threatened your life.
But this time he acted on his threats, he pushed you! if anything I should be telling this to Joel, and Joel should be investigating Salvatore...I don't know why you want me to shut up about it." Jin replied frowning.
"How about we talk to Andrea today? see for ourselves if he did anything?" Nikolai suggested.
"I swear you're underestimating the situation Niko! *Sighing*
And as for talking to Andrea, you heard what happened with your mother yesterday, after she came to pick up your father and Minnie told her that Andrea was here, she went mad on all of the poor girls." Jin replied, "I told mom it was my idea, she decided to take her anger on someone else." Nikolai replied.
"As if she'll ever get angry at her beloved son." Jin said scoffing, "I share an opinion with your mom just so you know, I don't think that Andrea is as trustworthy as you think he is.
I understand that you are emotionally attached to him, and such an attachment can't be severed easily.
But I don't think Andrea loves you the way you think he does, that man rubs me off the wrong way!" He Added grunting loudly.
Surprised by Jin's Outburst, "Did something happened between you and Andrea?" Nikolai asked.
"I don't want to hide it from you anymore, so yes! something did happen, we had a creepy interaction." Jin replied.
"How creepy are we talking?"
"Very much.
Yesterday, He stared crying and begging your mother not to kick him out, he sounded like his life depends on it, which I can understand because you said he's very much in love with you.
And after scolding the shit out of Andrea, your mother turned her attention to me, she told me that you wanted her to help and that I can count on her, which was normal to an extent.
But when she walked away, I felt like somebody was going to burn a hole into my skull, so I turned around and found Andrea's eyes bugging at me! like I'm telling you he looked insane at that moment.
He then said that after all he has done for you, You and your mother chose me instead of him.
Then he started questioning why I didn't tell him that I knew you when he first hired me, and said that I tricked him.
Ha-yoon was with me at the time when he literally screamed in my face 'Nikolai is mine'!"
"You're kidding me right Jin? that doesn't sound like Andrea At all! Are you saying he's 'Lovesick'?"
"No Niko, Andrea seems more like A Yandere character from an anime or something, those obsessed characters that would go as far as murdering The people around the person they love."
"Doesn't a Yandere mean lovesick?"
"I don't think so...Hold on, let me boggle the definition of the two words separately." Jin replied while quickly searching on his phone.
When Jin found the definition, he began reading it out loud "If you describe someone as lovesick, you mean that they are so in love with someone who does not love them, that they are behaving in a strange and foolish way.
As for a yandere, it's a person, who has an obsessive and possessive side in regards to their crush, ready to use violent and murderous means to maintain an exclusive bond."
"So you're saying that Andrea is Yandere? isn't that exaggeration?
Even if Andrea acted a bit weird, I think at most he'll be just a lovesick guy, you have no idea how hard it is to be rejected... People do foolish things in love, especially those who don't receive that love back." Nikolai replied with skepticism.
"I agree but for some reason...I just believe Andrea is capable of violence when it comes to you.
What if he harms people around you?" Jin replied.
Sighing, "I don't have that many people around me, and most of them aren't romantically involved with me.
I still find it hard to believe you, Andrea never did anything like what you say in front of me...Even when you said that Ha-yoon had witnessed it too, I can't really think of Andrea as someone who would be a danger to people around me." Nikolai said Worried.
"About being obsessive... throughout the whole years you guys knew each other, did Andrea even once do anything creepy to you?" Jin asked.
"No, he was absolutely kind and sweet to me!...he even encouraged me to be more social, until the death threats thing where he became overprotective and tried to have me on lockdown in his house.
Also, every single time I expressed any sort of guilt because I don't share his feelings, Andrea would always tell me that it's okay and that I making him happy just by being his friend." Nikolai replied.
"So his strange shift in behavior coincidences with us announcing our relationship." Jin said whispered to himself but loud enough for Nikolai to hear it.
"If what you say about Andrea is true... hypothetically speaking, what do you think I should do?" Nikolai asked.
"Avoid contact with him of course!" Jin replied.
Sighing, "All I asked was to talk to Andrea with you, and you gave me a whole story about how he could be a yandere... just because you've been upgraded to a boyfriend, doesn't mean you can push me away from my own friends." Nikolai said.
"I'm not trying to ruin your relationships, I'm just saying That as your boyfriend and bodyguard at the same time, I'm not supposed to allow you to meet with anyone who could be a danger to you, but you keep saying that Andrea is worth your trust...So I'll try to support you.
I can't let you guys be alone, and Madame had banned him from coming here at your house and it's not like you can go to him either, so I think talking to him on the phone's your last option." Jin replied.
Suddenly, "How about a bet? The loser has to do a favor for the winner." Nikolai suggested, "What are we betting on?" Jin asked confused.
"If Salvatore turned up alright today, I win.
If anything abnormal would happen to him, you win, Jin."
"Are you betting on a person's life Niko?"
"You're one to talk Jin...Are you in or out?" Nikolai asked.
"I'm in...I have a bad feeling already." Jin replied.
