Both Sides || namjin

.19.and i'm holding on tight to you.

"Thank you for the report, sir. The best of wishes to everyone involved," The police officer said, holding the door open. Jin walked out calmly, tired of the station he had spent the past few days visiting. Everything was finally taken care of. Jackson is in serious condition (not dead, to Namjoon's misfortune) and will be held accountable for his numerous crimes as soon as he is in good enough physical shape to be punished. 

The black-haired boy began to whistle one of the newest popular songs as he walked down the sidewalk. He was in Seoul, as much as he didn't want to be because he lived in Daegu, to help the police search Jackson and Namjoon's homes.  There was one more stop he had to make before heading to the place he now called home. 

Jin could feel his heart stop for the full thirty seconds between knocking on the door and seeing his mother for the first time since he left unannounced. He could feel the tears pour down his face as the woman grasped onto him for dear life. He could feel the way she smiled into his broad shoulders and the wet tears dripping onto the sleeve of his sweater. 

"I have to get to work now honey, you know that," Mrs. Kim chuckled, wiping her tears. Jin waved as she got into her car. He stood at the sidewalk, waiting for his own ride to arrive. 

A car pulled over a few minutes later. "Hey," Namjoon said. "Are you ready to go? It's a long drive," The belongings they brought back to Seoul for those few days were kept at their hotel, now stored in the trunk of Namjoon's car. Jin nodded and fastened his seatbelt. Namjoon drove off, but not before the older could sneak a peck onto his cheek. 

"We're home," Jin yelled. They were both exhausted from the multiple-hour drive. Namjoon placed their suitcases in the bedroom. 

For some reason, Taehyung couldn't stop smiling at his phone. "Whatcha lookin' at, Tae?" Yoongi asked, taking the device out of his hands. He scrolled up a little bit to find something he didn't want to see. The shorter male quickly threw the phone back at him and left the room, his cheeks red. 

"I got a boyfriend while ya'll were gone," the skinny boy announced. He smiled and pulled up an innocent picture of the mentioned boy. He had black wavy hair and doe eyes. "I know he goes to the same high school as you guys," 

Namjoon and Jin both looked at each other, laughing. "I think I've seen him somewhere," he joked as the laughing died down. 

"Dinner's ready!" Hoseok announced. All five of them went to the table to eat in silence. Yoongi grabbed Hoseok's hand for comfort, even if he didn't particularly need it at the moment. The food was finished quickly and everyone went to their separate locations. 

Namjoon and Jin decided to go to their room. Jin picked up the shorter boy, holding him up with one arm. He walked over to close the door and immediately laid down on the bed. Namjoon nuzzled his head into the older's neck. Jin smiled softly smiled as he watched the teal-haired boy drift off to sleep.
