The Kim twins

Chapter 21: Pretend date.

A week had passed with few interactions between Jin and Namjoon. Even though they started sitting together, the fates, the twins, Jimin and Taehyung, one could still feel the tension between the two males. While the two boys refused to acknowledge one another, Harley and Yoongi were always together. By now, all the university knew that the pair were boyfriend and girlfriend.

Although Yoongi's all girls fan club weren't that happy about their relationship, they couldn't do anything against Harley. The price would be too much to pay, it wasn't really worth it.

Jimin did agree to help the twins in their quest on finding out what Namjoon and Yoongi hid, still, there was nothing to learn. They were never caught in public talking about their plans. The good thing was, since Yoongi was forgiven, Jimin didn't have to fear anything. Nobody was coming after him to abuse him and Taehyung. Which made it better to survive in school.

Though Yoongi didn't give Harley any doubts, there was still a nagging thought at the back of her mind. She couldn't trust him. It didn't matter how cuddly and open he was towards her, she couldn't give him her all. If Yoongi was friends with Namjoon, and Namjoon fucked her brother's feelings, what was it to say Yoongi won't do the same?

Namjoon might not admit his feelings towards Jin, or completely ignored them, Harley could see the longing in his eyes. Jin could pretend all that he wanted that he wasn't bothered by it, but Harley knew him the best. She had to come up with something, or else she might throw a fit, the faculty would remember for years.

"That's it." Harley raised to her feet annoyed. She was in her brother's room watching a movie with him, Jimin and Taehyung.

"What?" Jin wasn't in the slightest moved by her sudden outburst. At this point he was already used to it.

"We're gonna show that motherfucker who is he messing with." Harley chuckled hysterically.

"Umm..." Taehyung patted Jin's shoulder. "What's up with her?"

Jin shrugged. "We're about to find out."

"You my darling brother, you're gonna get even." She clapped her hands. The plan was infallible.

"What are you planning?" Jimin quietly asked.

"My dear brother here is going to date Sohee." Harley clarified. "I mean not date, date. Pretend date."

"This is not going to end well." Taehyung shook his head.

"Who's Sohee?" Jin asked. He didn't remember anyone with that name.

"My roommate. Which is perfect because she is gay and has no real interest in you. This way, you won't have to deal with a stalker."

"Not gonna happen." Jin waved his hand.

"Why not?" Harley stared at her brother, disappointed that he couldn't see her point of view. "It's perfect."

"I agree." Jimin said. "Maybe Namjoon is too scared to admit his feelings for you. Maybe he just needs a little push."

"That's stupid." Taehyung ran his hand through his hair.

"Agreed. It won't do any good either way." Jin sighed.

Harley pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed. "Try it. What you got to lose? If it works you have him, if it doesn't, it doesn't. Nothing to lose." She sat on the bed and patted his back. "I can't stand seeing you like this."

"I'm fine." He rose to his feet and yelled.

"Sweetie, you're yelling." Harley pointed the obvious.

"Because you don't listen to me." Jin threw his hands in the air.

"Sweetie.." Harley wanted to say something but was cut by Taehyung.

"What do you want to do?" Taehyung asked. "As crazy as it may sound, I think Harley may be right. Think about it." He tried to reason with Jin. He pondered on what the twins told them, on how Namjoon would look at Jin, how Jin would act like nothing was wrong. "He is a guy who believed all his life was straight. Then you come up and you shatter that illusion."

"I gave him a choice to say no." Jin defended himself. "I let him choose."

"Yes, you gave him options, but what if he didn't want a way out in that moment?" Jimin spoke in his calm, sweet voice. Maybe even the voice of reason. "It may not be the ideal way to do it, but there is no other way left. You don't want to confront him, you don't want to talk to him about it. What else is there?"

"Jimin is right bro. Do I talk to Sohee or not?"

"I'm so gonna regret this." Jin sighed.

"Probably." Harley agreed.

"Most likely." Taehyung continued.

"Ok. Sis, talk to Sohee. Explain her everything. If she agrees, will go as planned." Jin sighed. "This is gonna end so bad."

"What the actual fuck is wrong with you?" Yoongi yelled at Namjoon.

"What did he do now?" Jungkook asked.

"We had a plan. He had to get close to Jin. Now this fucker doesn't even want to talk to him." Yoongi grabbed a beer can and drank from it. They were in Namjoon's room, together with Hoseok. "Is this because of their grandfather? Are you scared of him?"

"No." Namjoon replied dryly. Ever since he had sex with Jin, he felt like his life has changed. As if his world suddenly shifted. Every believe that he had, changed with a pair of plum, sweet lips and a perfect round ass.

"Then what the fuck Joon?" Yoongi lowered his voice.

"Did something happen between you guys?" Hoseok suddenly asked. He saw Namjoon's eye twitch. "So something did happen."

"I had sex with Jin." Namjoon blurted out before thinking better about it. They would find out eventually.

"That explain a lot." Yoongi said before gulping down the content of the beer can.

"So?" Jungkook asked sternly.

"What do you mean so?" Namjoon asked perplexed by the calm in his friend's voice. "I had sex with a guy. I'm not gay."

Hoseok rolled his eyes. "Who said anything about you being gay? You can be bisexual. Loving both genders. Think of it like the best of both worlds. It doesn't make you less of a human if you as a guy love another guy. It doesn't make you worthless if you accept it." He cleared his throat. "Listen, it doesn't matter what others think. It only matters what you feel. If you feel something for him, I say go for it. You don't want to spend your life thinking what if. He won't wait for you an eternity. Nobody does. Nobody will. He introduced you to a member of his family. He already accepted that part of him, he already accepted you."

"He did give me a choice." Namjoon closed his eyes and leaned on the bed. His back pressed against the mattress. "I didn't took it. He gave a way out, I didn't want it."

"Then why are you second guessing yourself?" Hoseok continued with his reasoning. Surely his friend might come to the same conclusion, one day probably. "Trust your instincts."

"I do care about him." Namjoon finally admitted. "I even snapped at him thinking he would run away from me, just like I did."

"But he stayed." Concluded Jungkook.

"He stayed." Namjoon confirmed. "He showed me a world I didn't think it existed."

"Then why are you running now?" Yoongi tilted his head. "Is it because of the plan?"

"It's part, yes." Namjoon got to his feet and started pacing around. "What do you think would happen if we make them fall in love with us, or we fall for them, and they find out the truth? You think they will forgive us?"

"We will lose them forever." Yoongi ended it.

"Exactly." Namjoon agreed.

"I've left the copies of the journal in Harley's room. She will discover the truth, maybe give us the damn contract and everything would be swell." Yoongi explained. "Whatever will be, will be."
