Secrets [NAMJIN]

34

Seokjin was sitting on the couch and bumping his legs, full of nervousness. A hand on his thigh stopped him and he looked up, "You are going to be okay, hyung. We have practised this. Don't worry, okay?"

Seokjin sighed, "I know, Joon-ah, but they are predators in the form of reporters. I am just nervous about their questions."

Namjoon laughed, "You are exaggerating."

Seokjin scoffed, "I am not. And you know it."

Namjoon cupped his face and made him look at him, "I know it. And I know you too. I know you are brave and amazing. You are the best leader, the best husband and an even better father. So go out there and rock the stage. Don't think about elections, don't think about us. Think about you and your relationship with the people. You will get through this. I promise."

Seokjin sighed and nodded, "You are right. I will do good. I am Kim Seokjin!"

Namjoon hyped him up, "Hell yeah! You are The Kim Seokjin! Prince of Korea."

Seokjin laughed, "That's not my title, Joonie."

Namjoon shrugged, "Well, you are at least my prince. You will do great. I am proud of you!"

Seokjin smiled and nodded. He waited for a while and after that a lawyer, Jaehwan and Yoongi entered the room. Yoongi went to Seokjin and smiled, "We have everything ready."

The lawyer handed Namjoon and Seokjin papers, "Please sign the papers where there is a cross."

Namjoon and Seokjin signed the papers and gave them back to the lawyer. The lawyer smiled and hummed, "Great! You guys are legally married in Korea too. Congratulations."

Seokjin looked at Namjoon and Namjoon pecked on his lips, "Congrats husband."

Seokjin chuckled, "Same to you, husband."

"Appa!" Eunha came running.

Seokjin smiled brightly, "Hi princess."

Eunha gasped, "I peeped from the curtain and there were so many people and cameras. Best of luck, appa."

Seokjin sighed and nodded, "Thank you, princess."

Seokjin sighed and put on his professional smile and proudly walked on the stage.

Namjoon sighed, "Gosh, I am so turned on."

"Dad!" Eunha hit him playfully on his shoulder.

Seokjin smiled at the crowd of reporters and started speaking, "Good morning everyone. I am Kim seokjin, as you all know. Recently a very intimate video of mine was uploaded on the internet and yes, the person in it is me. I have hidden a major part of myself from you all. I am married. I have been for the last 14 years. And I am married to a man."

The reporters looked at each other and were about to ask questions when Seokjin stopped them, "Let me finish my speech first, please." He sighed and started talking again, "We got married 14 years ago in Canada and just got married today morning in Korea. We have also adopted a daughter together. We have a happy family. And today, I have told you everything."

One of the reporters raised his hand and Seokjin nodded. "Who is your partner?"

Seokjin smiled lovingly, "Best selling author, Kim Namjoon."

The crowd gasped and there was a murmur. Another reporter asked, "And who is your daughter?"

Seokjin sighed, "I would like to keep that under covers for her safety and privacy."

"But in many interviews, Kim Namjoon has said that he hates politicians."

"He hates politicians, but he loves me."

"Why did he live in the States for 12 years?"

Seokjin shuddered but composed his posture, "That is a personal matter and I would like to keep it that way."

"How will people trust you now, that you have hidden a part of you?"

Seokjin sighed and smiled, "I know what I have done is unethical and that is why I am resigning from my post and quitting politics. Lee Jaehwan-shi would replace me. As you know he is my senior and more deserving than me for the post. Here is my resignation letter and I am signing this in front of the entire country."

As Seokjin signed the papers, there were gasps and murmurs. Namjoon, Eunha and others were just as shocked as the entire nation. Namjoon looked at Eunha, "That was not the plan."

Seokjin completed the signing and showed the papers to the media and then handed them over to Jaehwan, "I hope you lead the country to the best. Congratulations."

Jaehwan smiled and patted his head, "Congratulations to you on your freedom. I know you always wanted this."

Seokjin nodded and left the stage with Jaehwan. As soon as he reached the green room, he was bombarded with questions. Seokjin laughed, "Okay, wait. One by one."

Namjon was the first, "Why would you do that? You were on the peek of your career."

Seokjin nodded, "I know. But I wasn't happy. It was a calculated move, Namjoon-ah. Don't worry."

Yoongi was next, "What about me?"

Jaehwan replied to his query, "It is totally up to you. If you want to continue working, you can under me. I will be glad to have your assistance and genius. But if you don't then it is totally up to you."

Yoongi nodded, "I will think about it."

Eunha looked at Seokjin, "What next?"

Seokjin smiled, "I will have my family with me, what else can make me happy? And right now, I don't want to think about my future. I want to think about our future. Together."

Namjoon nodded and hugged Seokjin tightly, "I am proud of you."

Seokjin hummed and buried his face in Namjoon's shoulder, "I love you."

Namjoon chuckled, "I love you too."

They broke the hug just enough for Eunha to join in and both of them kissed her head together, "We love you, princess."

Eunha smiled brightly, "I love you too! Both of you."
