"Does anyone have an idea where Wrath might be?" Jin asked, conducting the meeting.

"If I did, i would have snitched a long LONG time ago if it meant I woukd stop seeing your faces oh so often," Hoseok replued, arms crossed over his chest.

"Its more likely that you actually want to look like us, Envy," Taehyung retorted with a slight smirk.

Hoseok glowered and squinted his eyes slightly.

"Clever," Hoseok drawled with an eye roll.

"The way we get to seeing less of each other, is by finding him. And I think i have a way of doing that," Jimin spoke up.

"Oh?" Jungkook questioned

"I have friends in the security sector. I could call in a few favours and have Namjoon's picture handed out. Should any officer spot him, they report without engaging. If he's anywhere in the northern hemisphere we'll find him," Jimin explained.

"Thats...thats actually a great idea Jimin," Jin complimented, nodding along in agreement

"Look at that, you're not just a lustful face," Taehyung drawled

" I wish you would get better jokes, honestly I do," Hoseok said, snarling slightly in disgust.

"Let us know if you find out anything," Jungkook said, getting up and making his way out.

One by one, the other sins follow. All but two. The owner of the house and sloth.

Jin glowered at the barely conscious sin, knowing rhe duty to wake Yoongi up had fallen on him.

As per usual Namjoon handed Jackson a travel mug and Jackson handed Namjoon a paper bag with a sandwich inside. But unlike their usual routine, Jackson began walking in the opposite direction

"The shop is this way," Namjoon called out.

"I know. We're not going to the shop," Jackson replied.

"We're not?"

"Not today. Now come on, follow me," Jackson instructed

Namjoon reluctantly obeyed and soon he was walking in step with Jackson.

"Where are we going?" Namjoon questioned.

"Don't you think if I wanted you to know I would of told you."

"I don't know. Knowing you, you could of just forgotten to tell me. I wouldn't put it past you."

"You don't put much past me,' Jackson deadpanned.

"Exactly. Because I know you so well," Namjoon replied.

Jackson simply rolled his eyes and began to walk faster.

"Come on, we got a train to catch."

°•~Sins~•°

"An art show?" Namjoon questioned, seeing where Jackson had stopped in front of.

"That is what the signs says. Congratulations you," Jackson mocked.

Namjoon rolled his eyes and ignored the comment

"Why are we at artshow?"

"To see the exhibits I would imagine. Come on," Jackson said and didn't give Namjoon a chance to reply as he stepped into the building.

Namjoon begrudgingly followed.

The art show was nothing like what Namjoon expected. All the paintings displayed were heterochromatic. Various shades of grey painting decorated the walls. And with the turn down lights, the mood hanging over the room was very gloom.

Namjoon followed Jackson as they walked through the rooms, observing the art silently.

The paintings were very nice, Namjoon liked them but they did dampen his usual blue mood. Walking through this exhibit was like being locked in his thoughts.

Fairly unpleasant to his emotional wellbeing.

Finally they got to the last painting, at the very end of a long hall way, easy to miss, excepted for the fact that this painting had a splash of colour.

A single tree in the background in colour. The evergreen colour deeply contrasting the various shades of grey. Even though it wasn't at all the main focus of the painting, not even close ones eyes could not help but be drawn to it. Because it looked so lively.

"Do you enjoy the exhibit?" Jackson questioned.

"Yes, I did," Namjoon replied simply, tilting his head to the side as his gaze stayed trapped on the tree.

Jackson turned to look at him, surprised, due to the lack of a sarcastic reply or snotty comment.

Once he saw the look in Namjoon's eyes, he knew to leave the silence unbroken. Namjoon got that look in his eyes sometimes. Not so quite often, in Jackson's opinion but this definitely was not foreign to him. Hence why he knew to act accordingly.

So instead Jackson quietly turned his gaze back to the painting. Not as invested in it as Namjoon but still entranced by the drop-of-colour painting.

Jackson didn't know how long they just simply stood there but his legs were starting to hurt. He grasped Namjoon's bicep lightly to get his attention. It worked, as Namjoon turned his attention to the other male.

"Can we go to the café across the street?" Jackson questioned.

"Yeah...yeah no problem."

"Okay can you head out first. I quickly just have to sort something out then I'll be right there. You know my taste do you can order for me," Jackson suggested.

Namjoon glanced one last time at the painting before nodding silently in compliance.

He exited the gallery and immediately  spotted the café Jackson told him about.

He sat down and order for the two of them. Black coffee with a breakfast sandwich for himself and a milkshake with pancakes for Jackson.

Jackson joined him not too long after, as promised. Jackson smiled brightly as he sat down. Brighter than usual. Which made Namjoon lift a brow but overall did not verbally.

Soon the food arrived and they both dung in.

"We're going to the aquarium after this. Then we'll have lunch. Then my place, watch some dramas, maybe I'll force you to learn a dance or two," Jackson announced.

"First of all, no. I would never do that. I will never do that. Secondly why?"Namjoon replied.

"Why as in why we're doing all this?" Jackson asked for clarity.

"Obviously, don't be daft."

"I don't know. Seemed like a nice outing. Also think of it as a thank you for being my best employee."

"I'm your only employee."

"Exactly. No one could keep up you. Head and shoulders above the rest," Jackson said cheerfully, pointing his fork at Namjoon.

The latter simply rolled his eyes silently. They sat in silence before Jackson broke it

"You seemed like you could use a break."

The tone of voice was what shocked Namjoon most. Jackson hardly ever had this tone, due to how serious and stern it sounded.

I looked down at my food, unable to meet his eye.

"Thank you."
