Secrets [NAMJIN]

26

"Do I look good?"

Eunha rolled her eyes, "Dad... You have been asking this for the fourth time. You look amazing."

Namjoon sighed, "I am so nervous. I don't know why."

Eunha smiled, "Because it has been 12 years, I guess. I am nervous too."

Namjoon smiled and patted her head, "Let's not be nervous and try to feel good, okay?"

Eunha nodded and straightened her dress. She was wearing a black dress that went down to her knees and had sparkles all over it. Namjoon was wearing a black tuxedo with a white shirt. He styled his hair with gel and parted it from the side. After their house burned, Namjoon and Eunha went shopping for essential things and their outfit for Seokjin's party. Luckily there wasn't much cash in the house. Namjoon's manuscripts were all burnt but he talked to his publishing company and they assured him that they had a copy and would send him as soon as he settled down. Seokjin lent them his penthouse that no-one used to stay there till they found a suitable house. But he insisted on not finding one. Though Namjoon was reluctant to find his own new house so that the elder could rent the house again.

Namjoon heard his phone going out and he picked it up.

Kim Namjoon?

Namjoon was confused, "Yeah..."

I am sent by Seokjin-shi. I am standing under your house. You can come down when you are ready.

Namjoon sighed, "Yeah, we are coming." He looked at Eunha and sighed, "Let's go."

They reached the place in less than an hour. It was a sort of hotel facing the river. Namjoon thought that he was going to the wrong party. But the butler broke his chain of thoughts, "This way, sir.

They followed him and he led them to the top floor. As soon as the elevator opened, he saw Seokjin waiting there. He bowed to the butler, "Thank you. I will take it from here." He looked at Namjoon and Eunha with the biggest smile, "Come on. Everyone's waiting."

Namjoon got confused, "Huh? Everyone?"

Seokjin chuckled and kept silence. He opened the door that connected to the terrace. As soon as they entered, Eunha was hugged by Yerin. Eunha laughed and hugged back. They broke the hug and Yerin glared at Eunha, "You never told me your other dad was The Kim Seokjin! I feel betrayed."

Eunha laughed, "Stop being dramatic, Yerin. It was and is a secret." Yerin motioned as if zipping her mouth and both the friends laughed.

Seokjin chuckled, "You like it? I asked Sejin about your friends' list and called them all here to celebrate the new year's eve."

Eunha hugged him, I loved it. Thank you so much appa."

Seokjin patted her back, "Well, do ahead and join your friends. If you need anything," he pointed at Minho, "He is Choi Minho. He will help you. Enjoy princess."

Eunha bit them both adieu and went to her friends. Seokjin turned to Namjoon and smiled, "Shall we?"

Namjoon nodded. They left the terrace and walked to the other side of the floor. There was another terrace behind the huge glass door. Seokjin opened the door and he heard the music and laughs. He looked around and found his entire friend circle enjoying the evening. He looked at Seokjin, "These all..."

Seokjin smiled and nodded, "At first I was going to give a party to only you two, but I know how much you love having friends around and I knew you must have missed this as much as you missed them. And after your house's incident, I thought it would be better. I hope you liked it."

Namjoon chuckled and looked at Seokjin, "I loved it. Thank you hyung." Seokjin was taken by surprise when Namjoon suddenly hugged him. He hesitatingly put his hands around Namjoon and gave him an awkward pat.

"Look at the love birds. Can't take their hands off of each other." It was Jimin and they parted.

Namjoon rolled his eyes but smiled, "You don't get to complain when you are literally sitting on Tae's lap."

They went to the group and sat on the couch that was attached to the table. Namjoon held Seokjin's hand and hooked it with his own. Seokjin looked at him and smiled shyly. The position was the same from years ago whenever they sat together.

The waiters came and went with different dishes and drinks. It was very lavish. Definitely what Seokjin would do. Namjoon looked at the group who was making jokes and laughing at each other. He realised Seokjin was right. He missed this. He missed them.

After the dinner, Namjoon asked Seokjin about Eunha.

"Oh, don't worry." Seokjin smiled, "The kids will be led to their rooms here so that they can sleep. You can pick her up tomorrow morning."

Namjoon sighed and nodded, "Okay. I was just worried about her sleep."

Seokjin chuckled, "I know Joonie." He gasped and placed his hands on his mouth, "I- I meant Namjoon."

Namjoon laughed and shook his head, "You can call me Joonie. I know I would take time, but I really want this to get normal as soon as possible. I am glad that you are trying too."

Seokjin giggled, "Of course I am trying."

Yoongi came near to them, "Guy! The countdown."

They looked in the sky and the entire country was counting the minutes to the new year to come. It had been really a very unpredictable year and all of them wished that the year ahead would be peaceful and good to them. Namjoon took Seokjin hand in his and joined the countdown.

Happy New Year!

Seokjin looked at the sky and it was plastered with crackers and lights. He smiled and saw everyone in front him kissing their better halves. His chain of thoughts broke when Namjoon turned him to himself and smiled flashing his dimples, "Happy New Year, hyung." And he connected their lips. The contact was so soft that Soekjin almost thought that this was a dream. 12 New Year's eve he had celebrated with the country, because he was a public figure and he had to, but this one was special. This one was with Namjoon. He smiled in the kiss and replied just as softly.

Seokjin broke the kiss and looked at Namjoon, "Joon-ah, I promise that from now, I would always share the situation with you and prioritise you and Eunha for most of the time. From this year onwards, I want my life to revolve around you guys."

Namjoon smiled ear to ear and nuzzled into Seokjin's nose, "And I promise to trust you in your decisions and listen to you first." He pecked Seokjin's lips and the promise was sealed.

The End!

Haha.

Kidding.

I still have something planned for this.
