"GGUK, STOP! HE IS MY HUSBAND!"

After hearing that, Jeongguk's hand came to an instant halt and the frying pan was resting in the mid-air, making the brunette stare at SeokJin with a shocked expression. "Hh-usb-band!?" He squeaked, making the elder sigh and nod.

"G-get me out of here." A tired and defeated voice was heard behind them. Upon hearing that, Jeongguk and SeokJin immediately helped the person to get out of the ties of the coat sleeves and made him sit on a nearby chair.

"Please! Please! I am so sorry, Jin Hyung! Please, forgive me, Sir. I didn't know you were hyung's husband." By Jeongguk's dangerous saving mission, SeokJin's husband was looking like a fully injured yet swollen dead grape. He had a swollen cheek with a black eye. And a big potato-like swell on his head.

SeokJin brought some ice and placed it on the swollen parts. The man just winced in pain, "I am so sorry, Joonie. Because of me, all these things happened." SeokJin apologized. And Jeongguk just stood there, hanging his head down.

"It's okay, Jinnie. But it seems like your brother is really possessive regarding you. By the way, I didn't know that you had a brother," Namjoon said-asked and laughed sheepishly.

"Actually Jin hyung is not my real brother. He is a good friend of mine. But I love and respect him like my own brother," the brunette replied instead of SeokJin and Namjoon looked at him with a weird expression.

Jeongguk thought that maybe Namjoon did not like him. 'What do you expect, Gguk? After beating his ass up, you still want him to like you?' He scolded himself in his mind.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't introduce you guys before. Joonie, this is my baby bunny, Jeongguk. And Gguk, this is Namjoon, rest you know." SeokJin introduced them. "You guys talk and I will bring some more ice." With that, SeokJin left the two alone. After the cafe owner left, there was nothing but silence, Jeongguk was really feeling guilty and awkward. Thus, he decided to apologize one last time and leave the place as soon as possible.

"Uhmm... Sir, I am really sorry for my behavior. I really didn't know who you were. If possible, please, forgive me," the younger apologized and turned to leave but he felt a hand on his wrist.

He turned around only to see Namjoon holding his hand, he tried to release his hand from the other but Namjoon's grip was tighter than he thought. The older gestured him to sit, eyes holding so much intensity that he just gulped and compiled. Jeongguk was afraid - it would be wrong to say. He was literally shaking with fear and maybe he was also dead in his mind.

"Where are you going, huh? We still have matters to settle," Namjoon said, eyes still holding that seriousness.

"Uhm...ah... I - -" A loud laugh made Jeongguk surprised.

"You really thought that I would be angry with you, right?" Namjoon asked in between his laughs, making the other just look at him dumbfoundedly. "Hey, relax. It's okay, I am fine. No need to worry, rather I am very impressed by you," Namjoon confessed. Jeongguk was clueless. "I mean, if I am not here and Jinnie gets into some problem, you will be there to handle everything. And I also like how much love and respect you hold for him, that without any hesitation you came forward to save him," Namjoon explained.

"But still, Sir, I am really sorry. If you want, you can give anything as a punishment," the brunette said, head still hanging down.
