[SLOW UPDATES] Strangers -T.K

3. Let's Talk

'Hi, uh..' Namjoon said as he sat down in front of Jin. Jin hummed in response, avoiding eye contact with him. 

Namjoon sighed, "Hey, can you look at me? Only for now...?" Jin hesitated but looked at Namjoon, finding the other male wearing a soft, apologetic expression. 

As Namjoon gazed at Seokjin's face, he gasped. Seokjin's eyes were red and puffy. He had not expected the latter to cry. His guilt was now greater than before. 

"W-were you crying?" Namjoon said. "Hey, uh... I will never hate you, okay? It's just that- I was mad and I just talked out of anger. I let my emotions take over. I see how wonderful and sweet you are. I can't even put into words how beautiful you are. I just... I'm so sorry. I'm so stupid I made you cry. I don't think I could hate you. I can't. That's just impossible." 

In processing Namjoon's words, Jin only made Namjoon more anxious, because he thought the other male hadn't forgiven him. His head hung low, and he was about to speak but Jin interrupted him. 

"It's okay Joon. Yeah, it was kind of harsh, but I know you don't hate me. You clarified it yourself too! And I'm sorry, I shouldn't have shouted at you because you almost broke the salt shaker. I should have considered your feelings and not reacted like that. I think we are even now, right?"

Namjoon sighed in relief when he heard Jin's words. He hugged him tightly immediately. His face buried into the older man's neck. Namjoon whispered, "Thank you. I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't forgiven me." Namjoon also ruffled the guy's hair with one of his hands as he embraced him. "Joonie, I forgive you. How could I not...? After all, I love you-" 

He put one hand on his mouth as he pulled away from the hug. His eyes grew wide.  Namjoon's eyes also widened, and he had visible blush on his cheeks.

"Y-you love me?" Namjoon replied. As Jin's face turned crimson red, Namjoon got his answer. 

The male smiled, "Hey... Jinnie, look at me." Jin slowly removed his hands from his face as he now stared at the smiling male. His voice was so soothing as he cupped the older's face, "I love you too.". Jin smiled as well.  

They sat there grinning from ear to ear as they stared into each other's eyes.

Uhm!

Well, until a sound came from near the door and broke it. 

Taehyung and Jungkook stood there, Jungkook's hands in his pocket, while Taehyung crossed his arms across his chest. 

"Now that the fight, or whatever that was, has been resolved, can we eat? I'm hungry. We all are! Right, Jungkook?"

"It's true, Hyung. We're starving. We need food, and most importantly, I need food."

Jin whispered, "Woah... it looks like they got closer while we were talking here.". Namjoon just nodded in agreement. 

As Jungkook sighed, he asked Taehyung, "Is there banana milk here?" Taehyung responded, "Hm?" "Yeah... I think we should have it. Do you like banana milk though?" Taehyung asked. Jungkook nodded in response. 

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to the counters." Taehyung replied before looking at the olders and smiling. 

"Race you there!" Jungkook yelled, bolting off, and catching Taehyung off guard. As he ran after Jungkook, he faked a gasp, "No fair! You had a head start!" 

Namjoon and Jin smiled at each other before getting up and walking to the others with their hands in each others. 

Meanwhile with Taekook.

Taehyung paused at the counter, where Jungkook was waiting for him leaning on the wall nearby smirking. He glared at the guy in response.

Jungkook stood up from the wall he was leaning against and said, "Looks like I won." "You only won because you got a head start. How's that fair?" Taehyung pouted. "Eh... not my fault you were busy admiring those two lovebirds." "They seem to be very happy together, okay?" "Yeah... I agree with you. They look cute together." Taehyung proudly exclaimed as he placed his hands on his hips, "See I'm always right!" Jungkook just shrugged and shifted his focus to look for banana milk.
