Chapter 21: small intermission before tomorrw

Jin came finally came home after finding a place to wash his hands in. As many of you may know, Jin is shameless in many things. Washing his hands was not an exception. He went to a bird’s bathing fountain and washed his hands directly inside of it. ‘Sorry birdies.’

But his hands still didn’t feel clean. So when he did get back, he instantly went to the bathroom ignoring the women who were waiting for him to re-wash his hands. One was exceptionally mad, another was still nervous about what’d happened to her in the morning, and the other two were just scared at what Meracle would do with that wooden bat in her hands.

“Meracle? I think you can put that bat down. I’m sure he has a good explanation for everything” Rosa came up to say.

Gisela who was sitting to the left of Meracle winced. “!!! Why are you taking his side!?”

“I-I-I’m not taking his side. I’m just say that Jin has a reason to do many things. Have we ever seen him doing things without reason?” Rosa tried to steer the conversation to a more reasonable direction. Gisela wasn’t wrong. In fact, she was dead on it. Rosa unconsciously took Jin’s side. ‘Maybe it has to do with something he did to me this morning…’

Seeing that Rosa was trying to be crafty, she pulls out a silver suitcase and pits to it. “But have we ever seen Jin do things like this? Have we even known Jin long enough for us to trust him? Hm?”

Rosa didn’t have anything to say. It was clear that the four didn’t know who Jin really was and can’t really refute Gisela’s claims.

Just then, Jin came in still looking the same as ever while the girls were talking. “Hm? Do what?” He cocks his head.

Meracle snorted at his act. “Don’t play dumb! We clearly saw what was in your suitcases!”

A smirk formed on his face. “Oh that? Those? Those are my things to be dealt with. Besides, who told you girls to be nosy? What I stated was the truth but you girls had to delve in deeper”

Meracle jumped up from her spot and pointed the bat at Jin. “!? Nosy? You should’ve told us how you’ve earned your money! That way, you wouldn’t need to do such dirty things!”

“Hmmmm. What you know is limited. I’ll have to keep it that way. People are meant to have secrets Meracle and not another person have a right to pry. That is a violation of privacy.” Jin said nonchalantly.

“!!! Y-you!!! You saw my photos! That is a violation of privacy! So I do have a right to see what was inside your suitcases.” Meracle tried to justify her actions and crossed her arms.

Jin’s face became serious when Meracle justified her actions. “*Sigh* Indeed you have a right to know but not this way. But next time, all you need to do is ask Meracle. I can gladly show you it right now but then… you might not understand who I am so I am trying to keep things simple. After all, who I am and what I am is far from what anyone would know.”

Jin walked up to the suitcases, took out some keys and prepares to open one of the silver suitcases. First came the electronic locks which unlocked easily. Second came the strangely shaped keys. Within a few minutes, both locks were undone and the suitcase unveiled itself.

All of the girls gasped when they saw what was inside. A suitcase full of money was right before them. All in the highest currency. “!!! This isn’t what we saw before!” Meracle’s eyes bulged out. She took one stack of the money and closed the suitcase. Gisela reopens the suitcase like she did in the morning and the dirty toys reappeared in the money’s place. Everyone thought it was a dream until they re-examine the stack of money in Meracle’s hand.

“*Sigh* Believe me now? I am not a broke man Meracle. I just had to get some ‘money out of my bank’. I became a doctor at an early age and so I ‘deposited my money early’ at an early age. I didn’t want anyone to find out that I made money. If people knew I had money, they would rob me daily all while beating me down to extort more money from me.” Jin sighed. He emphasized the word bank strongly to imply that he had a lot of money. He clearly lied but he didn’t want to tell that he was an underworld ruler.

“B-but if you had all that money… Then…”

“Yeah… I just chose to live here. Is that a bad thing? I mean, you can’t cook after all. You are rarely tidy. You are always depressed over that Jason prick and chug those beer bottles down like a bottomless pit. So should I leave you alone?” a smile ran across Jin’s face.

“Wait! Then why are you searching for a job!?” Mirana interjects into the conversation.

“Oh that? Because I hate to see blood. Never had the heart to continuously cut people up and do surgery you know. Organ transplants, bone transplants, amputations, you know the rest. Plus… Some doctors can be douche bags. Someone once tried to cut my hand while I was doing a group surgery in order to screw me over. So I left. Simple right?” He answers plainly.

Gisela couldn’t believe it. “If you had all this, then what was the point of being bullied!? Hire some men to kick their asses!”

The four girls watched Jin as he walked right over to the bed to lay down. “I’ve told you before, I didn’t like to hurt people. If I did do that, I would be the same as them. To abuse money and power just for a small revenge? I’m not that type of person.”

‘I’m worse than those people. I’m someone who’d get his revenge in a cold and big manner… Just that you don’t know it yet.’ Jin made a slightly happy face while thinking this.

Gisela brought over another suitcase and laid it on Jin’s stomach. “So… what is up with all the other suitcases? Why is it when we try to open it, it showed all those… funky stuffs”

“… The suitcase is a two part compartment suitcase. Should it open even in the slightest wrong way, it will show the false side of the compartment. It is meant to keep nosy people out of personal business. What you have in there right now Gisela is a bunch of vials and poison samples.” Jin points to the suitcase on him.

“So… all that? Just to keep people away?” Meracle raised an eyebrow.

“Just to keep people away? Ha ha… Trust me, if you knew all of my occupations and what I do, even you would back away from me. No. This is to keep people close to me. So that people won’t have to back away from me” He honestly answered.

Mirana came up to Jin’s ears and whispered sweetly inside. “Then tell us. What are your occupations? We want to know”

Jin turns his body away and the suitcase drops in the same direction onto the bed. “Doctor, surgeon, comedian, construction worker, architecture/ landscaper, business man, accountant, sculptor, gamer, sports player, photographer, dancer, musician, and bullied school kid.” Jin said. “The last one was a joke”

The four couldn’t believe their ears. He had so many jobs that it sounds surreal. “Is that all?” Meracle asks.

He shrugged. “Nope. Sadly… Just the surface. I’ve done many other jobs in my life as well. I’m more or less a jack of all trades and master of nearly none. So you don’t have to worry about me when I meet your father tomorrow Rosa.”

“… So you are going to persuade him?” She nervously asked.

“… The goal is for me to get you out of the prearranged marriage. Nothing is one hundred percent certain you know. By the chat we had this morning, he wanted to kill me ha ha…” He laughed things off to keep things light. “But I have my ways. So don’t you worry about a thing.”

“I-I see. But do you mind telling me your plans Jin?” Rosa had to ask.

“… I actually do mind Rosa. It is something that others don’t need to know and if they do, it won’t end on a good note…” His voice trailed off and the volume diminishes as he ends his words. “Anyhow. I need to rest. Wouldn’t want to fall asleep while your father is talking right?”

“Ah… Sure…. We wouldn’t want you to faint.” Rosa nodded in agreement.

I was about to fall asleep until Jin remembered. “Oh that’s right. You girls haven’t eaten yet and I’ve yet to make dinner right Meracle?” Jin rose up from the bed to walk into the kitchen.

“Just forget it Jin. You can rest. Seems like you were busy” Rosa walked right up to Jin and sets him back down onto the bed.

“Huh? Rosa? What are you doing?” Meracle came up and puts a hand on her shoulder.

“Nothing. Just thought that I’ll make food for tonight” The words came out of Rosa’s mouth like a demon’s whisper. It gave everyone else the shivers.

“Uh… It’s fine Rosa. I’ll make food. It’s my job after all.” Jin tried to quickly get back up.

But Rosa took the bat and swung it at his head. *Bonk!* He fell backwards rubbing his head in pain.  “I’ll make food. Don’t worry. I won’t make it spicy” She said and saunters off into the kitchen. She took the apron and tied the back of her hair up into a pony tail and got ready to make food. She looked like she was a real house wife right about now.

‘This’ll be interesting…’ Jin thought. Once he heard that it wasn’t spicy, his face didn’t twitch surprisingly but smiled.

Thirty minutes in making foods, she was humming a little happy tune while cooking. The foods came out on the table looking perfect without the extra spicy smell. “Here you go. My personal dishes I’ve made.  Sautéed shrimp in oyster sauce with brown rice for Jin, Thinly sliced baked potatos in melted cheese and salad for the dieting people with the optional salad dressings, and the mixed yogurt filled with a multitude of fruits for those who wants desserts” She proudly said.

The three girls were stunned. Gisela came close to Meracle’s ears to whisper, “… Is there something wrong here Meracle? Am I seeing something wrong? Or am I missing something? She’d never cook without pepper before right? Don’t those food usually go wrong?”

Jin was even more stunned. ‘Rosa making dinner? For what special occasion?’ But he didn’t say anything. He walked right up to the shrimp dish and using his index and thumb fingers to hold the shrimp by its tail and threw one in.

“*Chew*Chew*chew*Gulp* Hmm. Good. Not spicy either. Really good. You can be a good house wife one day.” He complimented her.

Rosa had a deep blush on her face. “R-really? For real?”

“Mmhm. For real.” Jin nodded. Jin sat down and clasped his hands. “Thanks for the food!” He ate without reserve with a smile on his face. This made Rosa all the happier. She’d even at down right next to Jin to watch him eat with a smile.

Meracle’s face twitches violently when she saw this. To her, it was an unknown reason why her face twitched so much. She snorts and sat down to eat the food all while in a bad mood. But Mirana and Gisela could tell that Meracle was acting jealous. But that jealously soon passed once they tried the food.

This was the first time the girls had seen Rosa making food that was non-spicy and that was good. They didn’t want to believe it, but when they tried out the food, the difference in the new Rosa was confirmed. The new side was almost scary because the food she originally makes are full of roaring, throat drying, and blood spewing flavors. Most that do not end well.

Thirty minutes later, dinner ended. During dinner time, they all asked things that was related to Jin. It was more or less related to his occupations. There were even some of his personal stories about his life that can be really considered a real tear jerker as well. But none that would reveal who he truly was. He only told the girls about how his brother and the second string was eliminated because of some stupid reasons. The other stories he told was how he worked when he was young doing many jobs besides being a doctor. He even told them some things during his high school years.

“Hm? Jin. Even though you never said it, you never told us the story when you saved us from the bear attack.” Mirana said.

“I don’t know what you are talking about” He was trying to play things off but was still shocked.

“*pfft* Don’t think you can always disappear mysteriously Jin. Of course I saw you. Do you remember the girl you were protecting that day?” Mirana raised a cup to her lips and sipped a little drink.

“Huh? But she had pink hair and wore eye contacts with a shorter hairstyle.” He can’t recall things much.

“That was me” She admitted. ‘Got you Jin ^.^ now let us see how you are getting out of this one.’

His eyes widen at her response. “!? You!?”

“Mhm. You were in our group. At the time, we all went up the mountain to experience wild life. I saw that most of the boys abandoned the group after provoking a bear to attack us. That was the dumbest thing we’d ever done and you were the only one to sit out of it playing with butterflies and plants. But when time came to show courage, you were the only one brave enough.” She smirked.

“… I could’ve sworn everyone had their eyes closed or scared half to death… But in any case, didn’t you see the boy who tried to hit the bear with the stick?” Jin was trying to prove that there were other brave people.

“Yeah but all he did was accidentally poked the bear’s balls and that got the bear into a frenzy.” Mirana chuckled.

“… Better than me. I threw a bee hive at the bear and he ended up chasing after my ass… and both our asses got stung. Couldn’t get out of the tent to do anything…” Jin grumbled. “It was also by pure luck that the honey bee’s hive was there. The boys knocked over that hive and it fell right in my hands so I had to throw it somewhere. Where else better than in the bear’s face?”

“Wow… We didn’t know that you did so much.” Gisela gasped.

Jin shrugged and chuckled. He took a glass of water to refresh his throat and then spoke with closed eyes. “…. Heh… I am not someone people would want to know. After all, I am just a coward. It is also because I am afraid that people might find out that I am a coward at heart that I too stay away. I’m sure everyone here must’ve thought the same about me when they first saw me right? Not fishing for pity or anything but cowardice is a sin.” His voice carries a certain mature weariness. A strong foundation called experience in which no one can deny.

“I don’t think you are a coward Jin. Nor do I think you are pitiful. You were not strong so you had to do something that could compensate for your weakness. As far as I see it, you were just being resourceful.” Meracle said.

“Thanks Meracle. But the point is that I accidentally saved people. Not something a coward should do” Jin lightly points out.

“Why is that Jin?” this time, Rosa asked.

Jin felt like he wanted to laugh and cry. “… Because. Can you imagine the number of bullies growing to beat my ass? Popularity isn’t something light. If you suddenly became popular by saving someone; that would means two or more people will hate you for just doing something good. Fists hurts. So does kicks. I already got beat enough by at least twenty people a day. Heh… Don’t want another twenty.”

“Hm? Twenty? Where that number come from?” Mirana was curious.

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

“See, it wasn’t twenty at first. But it became twenty soon after for some reasons. So instead of having two bullies in the morning, five at lunch and three after school; it became ten straight bullies in the morning and ten after school.” He explains. Mirana felt bad because she knew the reason why the number of bullies increased.

“Aside from that Jin, what is your plans for tomorrow? You know you have to face three people in the prearranged marriage right?” Rosa blurted out.

“Eh!? Three? What is your father doing? Trying to raise a harem for his daughter?” Jin nearly fainted when he heard three. Why? It was because he not only have to challenge one person who could potentially be a prick but two others. He already had a list of things to do. But this made things harder because he had to handle more people.

“Sorry. I didn’t think it would mean much because my father liked to keep his options open for my sake. He wanted options to be wide. I really do mean wide.”

Jin leans back in his chair and sighed. “*Sigh* It is fine… Whatever the reasons it might be that your father had, I might just support him. It shows that he is a caring father. But he gotta learn how to keep promises. Pre-arranged marriages is not a joke when it comes to extremists and romanticists”

“Sorry” Rosa apologizes once more.

“Hmmm…. I guess I’ll go to sleep today. No use thinking about it now. Gonna have to wing things and hope for the best… Well… right after I clean these dishes and do some laundry. Can’t go in a tux smelling like dirt” Jin then picks up the dirty dishes to clean.

Rosa was about to stop him but couldn’t because he moved too quickly. “…”

It was only now that Meracle notice a difference in Rosa’s attitude as well. She was more concerned about Jin and even took a seat near him “Why are you so worried Rosa?”

Rosa was slightly shocked “Huh? What do you mean?”

“I mean. You’ve been acting weird all day. Isn’t that right Mirana? Gisela?” Meracle glared strongly at Rosa. “Do you have an explanation for all this Rosa?”

“W-well...” Rosa didn’t want to tell her what’d happened in the morning.

“I forcibly kissed Rosa in order to meet her father” Jin popped out his head and spoke truthfully while drying his hands. He already finished washing the dishes in a short amount of time.

“W-what!? You forcibly kissed her?” The other three girls said in unison.

“Mhm Got what I wanted. He got mad as well ha ha!” Jin didn’t care for the truth. It was just too funny and laughed things off.

Even Gisela got mad. “N*gga that was not the point Jin. You forcibly did it”

“Eh? Was I wrong?” An innocent look appeared on his face. “… If I want to convince someone, I would need to know more about them. From what I’ve seen today, Rosa’s father is a man who needs more than just ad lib words and actions. He is a man who will let his daughter choose the best road for her. But the best road he already set for her isn’t a part of her choice. If I want to give Rosa a choice, I need to know how to eliminate those other choices whether my actions are slightly wrong or right. As long as they are not excessive you know.”

Hearing this, the three realize that he wasn’t wrong. But it still got them mad because he still answered so easily.

“So I know all I need for now. Thus… Time to do the laundry!” He happily walks away without a second thought and gathered his clothes to wash. “Oh Meracle. Do you have any clothes to wash? I can do it for you right now if you want. It is part of the contract right?” Jin walks up the stairs and into Meracle’s room.

“H-Hey! Wait! Not my room Jin!” She screamed with a beet red face.

When Jin came into Meracle’s room, he started to pick up the dirty shirts and pants. The clothes piled high until he got to a certain group of clothings that were laying on the floor. At first, he thought it was underwears. Which was correct. But when he took a look again, they were part of a set. Eight sets actually. But they were patterned strangely and were very transparent. IN addition, they looked as if they were already worn. “Huh? Why are there so many ling- *POW*”

“GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!” He roared out in pain. Meracle sent a flying kick to his face. “Ow! What was that for? I was only getting the dirty clothes. I said that I wouldn’t touch your undergarments!” He rubs his cheek. A tear mark could be seen forming on the edges.

 “Get out” Meracle said softly.

Jin turned around and walks towards the door.

Meracle felt embarrassed because she didn’t want to tell him the truth. She was choosing one of them in case if Jin actually chose to get aggressive one day. But that thought was gone in the morning and so she left those on the bed. She’d forgotten to put it away.

*Tap*Tap*Tap* His feet went away. Just when she thought Jin was about to get out of her room… *Creeeeak*shut*Click* “Eh?” Meracle had a bad feeling. It was because Jin turned off the light.

In the darkness, she saw his eyes glowing blue and the atmosphere suddenly dropped ten degrees. “J-Jin? Is that you?” She was scared stiff.

“I’ve just remembered Meracle. If I want to meet your parents to prove that I am better, I need to know you better right?” A voice sweetly enters her ear sending chills down her spine.

“!!! Jin? I-Is that you?” Meracle’s legs trembled as she backs away.

He steps forward towards Meracle. “My name is Jin. But I am also known as Belphegor.”

“!!! Sto-!?” She was about to shout until Jin puts his finger on her lips. The cold wave bursted forth freezing her body and making her unable to speak.

He pushed his finger leading her back all the way to her bed and pushed her down. “*Shhhhh* Not so loud. Or else, everyone can hear us.”

At this moment, he took off his shirt and crawls onto her bed top naked with only a tie around his neck. He press close to Meracle’s body and she could feel the strange coldness coming from it. Meracle’s mind races. She didn’t know this side to Jin. But then he took off his necktie and tied it around Meracle’s neck like a loose noose. But that noose soon tightens when he pulls the neck tie a little stronger pulling her close to him. It didn’t choke Meracle. But it made sure that it was tight around her neck.

Meracle could not do a thing. All the energy in her body strangely left. She could not do a thing and could only let that necktie go around her neck forming a small leash.

“Let go now Jin! I mean it!” Meracle made an angry red face. But it wasn’t like she was in the commanding position as of now.

“Oh? What are you going to do about it?” Jin really wanted to hear her answer.

“I’ll kick you out! After I kick you out, I’ll-”But Jin didn’t let her finish. He dove right into those angry lips.

“MMMM MMMMM MMMMM” She struggles but no energy came from her slender frail looking arms. Jin was violating her lips and she could not do a thing to struggle against it.

His kiss first started out soft with a slow tempo. As time passes, he increases and decreases the speed little by little until Meracle’s lips subconsciously followed along with his movements.

Seeing that Meracle was having trouble breathing, he pulls away to give her some time to rest. “Sorry. Didn’t hear that. Can you repeat that for me?” He smirked.

“Y-You fiend! I’ll!!!-“ She really was crying that someone violated her lips without her permission. But Jin didn’t even let her finish as well! He screwed those lips shut with his own. He took a step further to mess with her. These actions repeated many times until Meracle couldn’t even speak those cursed words anymore. He really did make it to the point where she couldn’t think straight.

Jin was just having fun. Although the humor was a little bad, she no longer cursed at him calling him names. “So, Meracle. Care to say what is on your mind?” he chuckled.

“Id-E-ot…” Meracle turns her head and mutters.

Jin could tell that she was flushed because she couldn’t even make a sentence anymore. “Idiot? Humm hummm hummm… Maybe I am. But I am the idiot who cares and wants to know more about you. Here. I’ll let you rest a little. So don’t resist me” He said. This time, he just softly kisses her.

After some time passes, Meracle finally was able to make a proper sound.

“*Humph*” Meracle pushes him away a little and snorted angrily.

“Sorry if I hurt you in anyway. But I really really want to know more about you Meracle. Won’t you tell me more about yourself?” Jin smiled directly at her.

“Who would tell you anything? You’ve just came and forced me to kiss you. You think I’ll tell you anything now?” Meracle angrily mutters.

“Then I’ll just have to find out myself. ^.^.” Jin did not even care. This was how he does some things in life. Peace is alright. But sometimes, one has to be aggressive to get the things they want. “Let me know you better” He bent forward to whisper into her ear.

Meracle’s eyes widen and tried to struggle away but he held her down in place using his two hands. Being skilled at acupuncture, he abused his skills a little to make her unable to move. Her entire body became paralyzed when he poke a few spots for a few short seconds. “What are you doing!? Let me go Jin! Haven’t you done enough?”

Jin didn’t even listen. He didn’t go as aggressive as he did before but slowly and sweetly kissed those soft red lips. But Meracle didn’t refuse this time. Instead, she followed along his pace and enjoyed the moments where their lips intertwined and parted. Each time, it felt like a fresh breath of air flowing in her mind and body.

Only once, did Jin pulls back and pointed to his lips. He was hinting for her to kiss him out of her own free will.

‘This infuriating…..’ Meracle grinded her teeth. It was because she didn’t want to do it. She didn’t want to admit anything. But the more she looks into his face and stare at those lips that invaded her mouth, the more unbearable it became for her.

Jin used his lips like a bait. He inches closer and closer. Pausing every few centimeters. When it became ½ an inch away, he stopped right in front of her face waiting for her answer.

Meracle bit the bottom of her lips because she’d thought he would give in first. But he didn’t. He was still taunting her to do it out of her own free will.

“Not going to do it?” He then spoke. This caught Meracle’s attention because he was backing away from her slowly.

Meracle was not a weak willed woman. But the man in front of her was too skilled in luring people in. Every action he did, they had a meaning. They had a reason to be done. It wasn’t like he was just violating her lips for fun. It was clear now that he was aiming for this moment all along.

“I hate you…” She mutters under her voice. But there was not a hint of anger in them. She reverses the position and pounces on Jin drawing unknown strength from who knows where with those slender arms.

“Hm!?” This was the most interesting thing that had happened to him all day. He was forced onto his back by someone else. ‘She is being honest now hihihihi’ Jin inwardly laughed evilly.

Meracle was really putting a lot of effort into kissing him. “Let me show you how I kiss”

Jin inwardly snorted because the way she kissed was very sloppy. Even her tongue couldn’t move properly when she french kissed him. As far as he could tell, all those before her only kissed her sloppily and never really made her enjoy a kiss before. They only ravaged her lips at most and left Meracle feeling very little.  But he let her have her ways and enjoyed the sloppy kiss. When she finished, Jin caressed her hair and pulled her close to him.

“Heh heh… Not bad” He said. But Meracle didn’t even hear him. She was too exhausted and fell asleep on top of him. “*Tch* … How could you fall asleep during a kiss? Unbelievable…” Jin shook his head in disbelief. He didn’t make her mind into a muddle like those before her, but she still became tired. He bit into Meracle’s neck and branded her lightly like those before her.

He then slowly laid Meracle down and got off her bed taking the dirty clothes to be washed and placed them over his shoulder. Just when he was about to get out of the door, he noticed that there were shadows behind the door. A smile curved up the side of his mouth. He opens the door and reveals his half naked body.

In front of him, Rosa, Gisela, and Mirana was listening closely on the door. “If you want, I can show you what happened to Meracle” Jin points. Their eyes floated to the girl passed out on the bed. “Would you like to be next Rosa? We did do it in the morning as well didn’t we?” He smiled. “Or would you like to be next Mirana? Maybe Gisela?”

Rosa already looked red enough and she didn’t know how to answer. Mirana was inwardly fantasizing about what would happen if she let Jin do what he did to Meracle. Only Gisela was mad and she blew a fuse in his face. “What!? I’m not your slu-”

Hell. Jin didn’t even have the strength to listen to her. Just like how he did Rosa in the morning, he pulled Gisela close and turned her mind into mush but in a slightly different manner. Since one of his hand was occupied, he used his other hand to wrap it around Gisela. Seeing that she was an experienced kisser, he took it a step further to get her down faster. “You are mine now” He said nonchalantly and let Gisela fall down to the floor.

He didn’t even wait for the other two to run. He dropped the clothes onto the floor and pinned the two down and paralyzed them right then and there. Actually, Mirana didn’t even resist. She was just lying there waiting for him. In minutes, he made the two pass out as well. ‘*Sigh* I don’t like pimping girls. Just have too much things to do today and I can’t do it with people around…’ Jin sighed. He carried the girls into Meracle’s room and laid them down on the bed. Once he was done with that, he had to go wash do the laundry. But that wasn’t the thing he had to do. Jin quickly did the laundry to do the more important thing.

He had to do qi training. Now that he had qi training, he didn’t need to rest as much. He found out that he’d usually needed four hours of sleep originally. But ever since he’d done qi training, his need for sleep is reduced and qi fueled his body. But it doesn’t mean that he shouldn’t sleep less. It just meant that his body was able to recover quicker. But it would also mean that his upper energy limits was increased. He would be able to last out a little longer as the day go on if things requires more strength and endurance. ‘Wait… I didn’t have to do anything to them… I could’ve just left the house…. Argh!!!!!!!!!!’ Jin finally realizes that he did do something wrong. He was putting too much effort in getting rid of the girls by mistake. Even if he could read many moves ahead, he could still trip up because he couldn’t see the simple actions that could’ve been taken. ‘*Sigh* I knew I had too much to do…’ he groaned. Indeed Jin is very skilled but even he could trip up some days. He was still human after all.
