Legal Bites ❥A Namjin AU ✓

52.Sacrifice

Eternity is perhaps a sand castle collapsing helplessly before a calm wave🌊

"I know "

Jin let out something of a realm of sob at that.

Namjoon ducks his head nodding again "I have known since the minute you lied"

That was a shocker and a punch in a gut for Seokjin.

"What?"
He winced at the crack in his voice,searching for any anger in Namjoon's eyes .He didn't found any.It only confused him more.

"Just because I never "
Namjoon cuts himself off,brows knitting before he continues "Just because I never asked the right questions didn't meant I never had them ,Jin"

He reached out to brush hairs out of Seokjin's eyes and then held his cheek fondly.

"I was just trying to live in a happy bubble, afraid the fantasy will break if I open my mouth"

Seokjin whimpered,leaning in to the warm touch.

"I was selfish.When you told me about the spell ,I was scared.I didn't wanted to let you go,so I pretended to believe"
Namjoon chuckles ,wiping the tears escaping Seokjin's eyes.

"Just a few weeks ago,I realized how selfish it was of me"

Seokjin shakes his head ,denying his accusations.

"No.It was.I knew how much you hated this life Jin,how much you suffered, waiting for your freedom only I could provide.But I was too busy dreaming of something impossible -"

"No.It's not impossible. I can stay .You don't have to do this.We can still get back to the happy life you dreamt"

Seokjin argued. Even when he was so close to his freedom,he would happily give it away for Namjoon's happiness.He can delay it more.

Namjoon shooks his head"And what about your happiness Jin? Are you happy?"

"With you,I will be"

"You are doing it again.Putting others before you.You are neglecting your feelings again.What you wanted all these years ,it's right in front of you now ,Jin.Dont you want to be free? I always wondered what you meant by 'I want to sleep'. It was the sleep you never wanted to wake up from,wasn't it? "

"Dont do this Namjoon ,don't do it for me.You don't have to kill your dreams to free me.We can go with our initial deal.I can stick around until your last breath"

Seokjin struggled to loosen the grip over the blade but Namjoon refused to give in.The spell had already started its effect. He was weak to fight a human now.

"I know you will .I know you love me Jin.I am sorry for ever doubting your love ,many times,over the course of us being together.But I can't do it anymore"

"You don't trust me with your life anymore ? I will keep you safe "

"I trust you.It's me whom I dont.Our fate that I don't "

Seokjin frowned at the sudden sadness spreading over Namjoon's face

"Namjoon"
