Yup, he was jealous. Very jealous, but he couldn't and didn't want to show it. Show that he actually felt something for you, since you always thought he just saw you as a partner and never tried taking you to bed. But ever since you met that guy, it was like you two were separating... everyday, you would hang out with that guy and come back late, leaving him most of the time alone to deal with the clients, and when you came back, he acted like he didn't even care, almost ignored you. The truth? Ryo actually loved you, he loved you very much even if he barely showed it, he would protect you with his life if necessary, after all... he swore to take care of you to his old, and dead, partner: Your brother. After weeks of you seeing that guy, he couldn't bear it anymore...

"No Kaori, you're not going anywhere." He said with a rare, but deadly serious tone, and with a blink of an eye, you found yourself pinned against the wall of your shared apartment "If you think that pathetic excuse of a man actually loves you, you're dead wrong. You know what he really loves? Your body. He just wants to take you to bed, and after that happened he's gonna leave you! And then... I would have to kill him for hurting you."

You were stunned, eyes widened as you looked at him, you never saw Ryo this serious. Right now, he wasn't that goofy womanizer, he was the Ryo that would give his life for you if necessary.
