12: Side 👨‍❤️‍👨

Namjoon's POV

Jin keeps packets of meat in the bag. The shopping cart it's not moving because probably its charge is over.

I mean . . . There's no one in this whole mall. Probably dead or lost somewhere. Who'll manage charging these?

"Rib Kalbi. Premium quality." He says and I look up at the meat beside me. "There are 20% off on these ones."

Jin looks up at me with a disgusted look. "There is no one looking over at these. We are not paying. Just taking whatever is here." He said and I nodded. "Then take the ones which cannot be preserved for long. Since it'll get spoiled anyway so we better eat it."

"You got a sexy brain, Namjoon!" Jin said with a smirk and I chuckled holding the bags while he chose the items. "Namjoon, you are a put-together discount type guy! Quit being that!"

"I'd not say that. I'm the one who used to plan the meal budget and everything else related to the budget at my home, so . . ."

"You are always taking crap from the lot. I've been with you for a long time so at first I assumed you were the sad-sack type." Jin said.

My eyes widened in realisation and insecurity got the best of me. "Jin," he hummed, "does Mirae also think the same about me?"

He looked at me in surprise. He flashed an amused grin. "I don't know about her, Joon. Why do you ask?"

"Does she hate me?" I asked again and he frowned. "I guess so. She seems to be the kind of girl who gets annoyed with people who bug her. You might be on her radar too but eventually she will soften around you. People are like that."

I nodded at him and took two packets of meat. "Which one do you think?" He looked at both of them and then smiled. I smiled back at him.

"Dak Kalbi!" We both cheered and did a hi-5. "Nobody knows me better than you, Jin." I said and walked past him.

Jin's POV

He walked past me with the bags and I looked at his back moving towards another aisle.

Nobody knows me better than you, Jin.

I chuckled bitterly and shook my head. "Yet you don't see my love for you, Joon." I mumbled and took some vegetables and then walked towards the exit.

"What happened to you, Mirae?" I heard Namjoon's voice and then saw Taehyung carrying Mirae on his back.

I turned to look at Namjoon, who was looking at her in concern. I stared at her.

I despise her.

The boys love her because she is a girl. That too is a weak and cute one. Even Namjoon is falling for her.

It's not her fault. I don't hate her for that.

I despise her because of . . .

Namjoon.

He seems to take an interest in her.

Mirae looked at me and then the vegetables in my hand. Her lips curved up and flashed me a wide grin.

"Are you making kimchi?" She asked, wiggling her legs and Taehyung grunted under her. She paused and apologised to Taehyung.

I scoffed and shook my head. "It will take time to ferment. I took these lettuce and perilla leaves so that we could eat them with the grilled meat."

"Taehyung, did you hear it? We are eating meat today!" She said but Taehyung looked at me blankly. He passed me a small smile and then walked forward with her.

"She looks so comfortable with Taehyung though." I turned to Namjoon who was looking down while saying that.

I sighed and shook my head at that. "Pass me the bag. I need to keep these. Let's go home."

"Does she like him, Jin? What do you think?"

"Shut up, Namjoon! I'll slap you if you talk about her again!" I warned and kept the vegetables in the bag before walking past him in anger.

"Jin! Wait up! Don't be mad! I'm sorry!" He said sliding an arm around me and I tilted my eyes before exiting the building.

We saw Taehyung entering Car-L where Mirae was already seated. He looked at us and shut the door. The car started and left.

I saw Namjoon looking at the car and then sighed again. "Hobi, take these bags and keep it in the car."

Hobi got out from the car and took the bags from us before sitting back on the passenger's seat. 

I pushed Namjoon towards the car and he frowned but followed me anyway.

"Let's just return back home! I am already having a bad day."
