The Robin Hood Society

One of the boys named Harry asked Jacob, "Dr. Jacob, what is your relationship with Miss J?"

"Hmmm....we are not just friends, but we are not yet dating. Let's just say our relationship is a bit complicated for kids like you to understand." Jacob answered him as he winks at them.

"Miss J is so precious to us. However, complicated your relationship with her is. Can you please protect and take good care of her in the city?" Harry and the rest of the boys looked at Jacob seriously.

Jacob was amazed at how these kids value J. She must mean a lot to them. He looked at J sitting at the distant talking and laughing with the girls. Since he got there in the orphanage, everyone has asked him to protect her.

"You don't have to tell me that. I will protect her with my life." Jacob said that while looking at J. J glanced at his direction and he met her eyes.

The dinner was over and it is now time for J and Jacob to leave. J is now talking with Miss Eve while Jacob is saying his goodbyes to the kids. J heard the kids asking Jacob to bring some toys and other stuff when he comes back.

"Looks like I will be seeing him again next time." Miss Eve said looking at J with a teasing smile. "Tell me honestly, what is your relationship with him?"

J sigh and said, "It's a bit complicated. I'll tell you some other time."

Miss Eve stared at her. J didn't know that before her grandfather died, he already told Miss Eve about the marriage that he arranged for her. Miss Eve doesn't know who the guy is. But upon meeting Jacob, she already has an idea. She would just wait for J to tell her.

Miss Eve has been an old friend of Elder Do. Although much younger than he is. She has known J even when she was just a kid. But J probably didn't remember her.

J and Jacob left the orphanage. They were quiet until they reached J's apartment. Their minds were both busy with their own thoughts.

J didn't expect Jacob to be this gentle to the kids. She saw a different side of Jacob that probably not anyone has seen.

Jacob was thinking about everything that he found out about J. When he said that he will protect her with his life. He was serious about it. Maybe J was alone for so long, but not anymore.

J woke up that morning feeling much better than yesterday. Jacob was still asleep on the other side of the bed. The pillow that was supposed to be in between them was now in Jacob's feet. It was just almost 48 hours that they were together but she unknowingly became comfortable in Jacob's presence.

What she has seen yesterday at the orphanage gives her a different impression on Jacob. She might be impressed but she still has to contain her feelings and reminded herself to not trust him.

J doesn't have the habit of taking a bath after waking up especially if she doesn't have a duty. She just brushes her teeth and went to the kitchen to cook breakfast for two. As she was cooking, he heard the door of the bedroom opened. She felt that someone is staring at her but tried to ignore it. A couple of minutes past she heard Jacob said, "You don't have a duty?"
