Legal Affairs | Namjin

20

It has been two days that Jin asked Namjoon to leave. Jin didn't leave his apartment. Jimin moved back. He tried to stay by Jin's side, he didn't ask anything nor Jin said anything.

Namjoon was a mess. All he is left with is questions. Why? The moment where Jin was crying asking him to leave is playing in his mind over and over again. He cursed himself that he hurt him not even knowing the reason why. His heart broke as he couldn't hold his Jin and console him. 

But life has to go on.

Jin sent a request for working from home for a week. He felt that he needed this distance from Namjoon. He didn't want to see him.

Yoongi dragged Namjoon to the office. Though things are going south he still has to manage a project whose deadline is reaching in.

Another day passed by, both the boys trying to put aside their feelings and prioritize their work.

Jimin knocked on Jin's door, entering the room with a cup full of hot chocolate.

"Hyung, I made some hot choco for you"

"Thanks, Chim", His voice was hoarse with all the crying.

"Are you feeling better Hyung?"

"No"

"You can share with me Hyung, you know I got your back. It'll put your mind at ease."

~Jin~

"That evening, when I went to pick Namjoon up..." I tell Jimin everything, what I saw, what Chloe spoke. Everything.

"That BITCH" Jimin was furious. "I'll tell Hobi about her. She really should know her place."

"Chim please, I don't want to entertain this anymore. Please don't do anything."

"But Hyung..."

"Please Chim"

Jimin calms down. I felt a little lighter as I spoke to him about it.

"Jin Hyung, I know how much Namjoon Hyung likes you, do you think he would have said something like that."

"At that moment all rationality was gone Jimin. I was reliving my worst nightmare."

It would be a lie if I said I didn't consider the thought that Namjoon has nothing to do with that matter. What I saw was my perspective and what Chloe spewed at me were her words. I never actually gave Namjoon a chance to explain. Never even tried to listen to him. I never even told him the reason.

That moment when I heard those things again, all I could feel was pain and anger. I acted out. I feel I owe him an explanation at least. I need to sort the facts out.

The next day, Jimin went to the office and I was working alone in the house. I pull my phone out thinking of texting Namjoon to meet me. 

Someone rang the calling bell. I get up and open the door to see Tae and Kookie.

"Hi Hyung," they say hugging me.

"Hey Tae, Hi Kookie. Come on in"

"We really miss you in the office Hyung. When are you coming?" Tae asks sitting on the couch beside me and Kookie next to him.

"How are things in the office," I was hoping they would tell something about Namjoon.

"New representative took over Hyung, so we had to roll back few things according..."

"What do you mean new representative?" I ask cutting him off

"Didn't you hear Hyung? Chloe got fired three days ago. SourceX sent a new person Mr.Jackson in place of her."

She got fired? Does Jimin have something to do about this? He might have told Hobi and they fired her? How is that possible? I told him about the incident yesterday. Tae says she got fired three days back.

"Hyu...ng" Kookie's voice pulled me out of my thoughts, "come to the office soon Hyung".

I nod as the boys get up saying goodbye. After they left, I pull my phone out calling Namjoon,

"Hello Namjoon"

"Jinnie" My heart clenched listening to his voice.

"Can we meet tomorrow? I want to talk to you about something"

"Sure"

"I'll send you the location" I hang up.

I sit on the couch with all these thoughts swarming my mind. I wait for Jimin to come home.

"Hyung I am home," Jimin says entering the apartment.

"Chim do you know that Chloe got fired?" He looks at me with a confused expression.

"What? whatever, Serves her best" he says sitting beside me, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"So you didn't know? Did you tell Yoongi about our conversation yesterday?"

"Hyung, I can't believe you are asking me that. It's not my place to tell that Hyung not to my boyfriend, not to anyone. How much of a babble mouth do you think I am" Jimin pouted.

"Sorry Chim," I said ruffling his hair, "It's not making any sense" I mumble.

"I haven't spoken to Yoongi properly for a few days now, I was so angry seeing you cry, I didn't know what was going on between you and Namjoon Hyung, the thought of him hurting you made me angry. Yoongi Hyung was by his side which made me even angrier so..."

"Chim... thank you for being there on my side. Speak to Yoongi now, he was just there by his friend's side just like you were there for me"

"I miss him Hyung" Jimin whines pouting. I smile seeing him, how innocent can he be. He's truly an angel.

I wake up early and get to work. I am waiting for hours to pass by. I text Namjoon the location asking him to come there by 8 PM. I get ready and reach the place.

I walk towards the bar ordered a drink and look around. The place was not that crowded. There is light music playing with a dim ambiance. There are a bunch of people on the dance floor slow dancing. I sat there waiting for Namjoon.

I see someone entering the place, a tall man wearing black clothes with a mask on his face and hair swept sideways. It was him. The guy I kissed in the bar when I went to pick Jimin.

He sees me and we make brief eye contact. He started walking towards me without averting his gaze. Did he remember me? Or maybe he's coming here for a drink. A stranger whom I kissed remembering me is the last thing I wanted at this moment.

He came face to face with me, I knew from his eyes that he knows who I am. I raised his hand to wave a hi at me,

"See Mister, don't even have a faint idea that whatever happened last time will happen again. I am not interested in anyone. I already have a boyfriend, I am about to meet him here."

I could feel that strangers gaze intensify, he raises his hands to pull down his mask,

"NAMJOON"
