"So, what's your plan after this?" asked Shiho to her sister. They currently have a dinner with each other. The food served there is good, too good. The both of them did enjoy eating the food as they have another chat with each other again. Both Shiho and Akemi want to take this opportunity to spend their time together- they did miss each other deeply.

"Let's call it a day. I want to spend my time with Dai. He might spend his time today alone. I don't even know where is he right now" Akemi said as her face clearly show concern for her boyfriend. Shiho on the other hand doesn't mind that her sister wants to spend her time with Rye as she doesn't want to be a barrier between the two of them.

Her sister deserves a better life. She can tell that her sister is totally fell in love with that man. She just hopes that Rye will treats and take care of her sister better since Shiho literally failed to do so- she even can't take care of her own life. Rye did make a promise to her to take care of Akemi and she already put her trust in him. She just hopes that he will keep that promise and never break it.

"Ah okay then, why don't you just go to his room or maybe the gym. He must be there. Try giving him a call first" Shiho replied to her. Akemi nods slowly.

"Will do! but later after I finish my dinner with you. Say what will you do later? Sleep?" asked Akemi to her sister. Akemi wants to know what her sister will be doing while she and Dai spend their time together. She's well aware of her little sister sleeping schedule- sometimes it did make her worried.

"Hmm, Let's see. Probably taking a dip at the onsen for a moment, then I will sleep" said Shiho to her. Akemi nods in response. They finish their dinner while having a little chat and they part their way as they wave each other goodbye. Shiho walks to the onsen and finds for the changing room. She change her clothes to a bathrobe that had already been provided.

Shiho walks to the onsen and her eyes widened. It's a mixed onsen. She looks around once again to verify this. It's confirmed, there's only a mixed onsen here. The woman sighs as she starts to find a perfect place for her to dip herself in the onsen.

Her eyes try to find a place that is not too crowded with people and she does find one. She looks at that place and her eyes widened once again. Gin is there. The woman shakes her head and focuses on the spot again. Indeed, Gin is there alone. That's why there are not so many people in that space since Gin is literally there by himself.

It's hard to tell where exactly he looks at since his eyes are covered with his bangs. She decides to go there to accompany him. She also isn't that close with other members and even the members who work in the same division as her- in the drug development. So why not sits there with Gin since no one is brave enough to get close to him.

She walks in Gin's direction. As she walks, she can feel others eyes on her. The other members in the onsen do wonder where Sherry want to sit at- they notice that she walks to Gin's direction.

As she finally there, she slowly dips her leg and then let her body sinks in the onsen. She literally sits right beside Gin. As always, Gin will never start the conversation first- he totally ignores her right there. The two of them keep the silence fills the air for a while. As Sherry finally feels comfortable in the onsen, she starts a conversation with him even though she notices other people still looking at them. The two of them decide to ignore it.

"I don't expect you to present here Gin. Especially at the waterpark area before. Say what's gotten into you?" said Shiho to him. They don't look at each other faces yet. They just look around and don't make any eye contact yet.

"It's not wrong for me to do so, right?" said Gin. As Sherry hears the reply, she knows that he has a mood to talk to her. She decides to have a small talk with him in the onsen. The boredom will kill her if she only sits there doing nothing.

"Sure, whatever you say Gin. Why are you here alone? Where's Vodka anyway? Isn't he always stick with you almost 24/7 daily" asked Sherry. She actually wants to know why he's alone here and the fact Vodka isn't here with him make her feels weird.

"You going to ask that? You know exactly that he's my subordinate. We're not at work right now. Say, aren't you going to spend your time with your lovely sister?" asked Gin. Since he asked that question to her, she decides to tease him a little.

"Well? can't I spend my time with my partner since he is all by himself in the onsen? I thought giving him a little company will help his loneliness a bit. I hope that he's being grateful for my existence beside him as no one want to get near to him. Well, he got really cold eyes and a deadly aura. Right... Gin?" she said teasingly to him as she puts her arm on his shoulder as she leans into him teasingly.

With her sudden and bold move, all eyes are on them. Sherry fixes her gaze to the others with her cold eyes.

"Got a problem?" she said to them with a sharp tone as she keeps her cold eyes to them. By that, they quickly change their gazes to somewhere else and avoid looking in their direction.

Sherry on the other hand, doesn't know that she has this kind of power to control someone. She thought that maybe it is because of Gin by her side. Gin doesn't flinch or even move from his place. He doesn't even react by her action. Sherry smirks, she thought that it's must be nice to tease him even more while people around them.
