The contract

Namjoon entered the private ward where Jin's grandpa is admitted. He saw Jin looking at him blankly from the couch. He sat beside him while taking off his coat.

"Baby what happen?"
Namjoon looked at the latter with questioning gaze.

"Why are you taking me for granted Namjoon?"
Asked Jin with tears brimming in his eyes. Namjoon was panicked seeing those glossy eyes of him.

"Are you crying baby? W_what happened?"
Namjoon cupped his face brushing the tears away.

"Why did you pay the medical bills?
Why did you appointed new surgeon to assist grandpa?
Why are you doing this to me?
Do you find me helpless?"
_he asked tears flowing on his sad eyes

"Baby calm down okay. You're not helpless baby. Don't cry. You wouldn't accept money from me if I offered you sum so I paid everything without asking your permission. I'm sorry"
_he tried to assure that it's not what he thought like

"I can pay his bills!"
_he said sounding disappointed

"How will you do that? You didn't accept the money I transferred to you after spending night with me. You refused it, why Jin?"
_namjoon wanted to ask this ever since Jin resent his money

"That's because I didn't consider that as a business. At first I decided to sleep with you just for the money like you thought but the next morning my heart refused to accept the truth. I felt happy, I felt idk calm. I wanted us to be more than that!
_jin said louder and looking down at his feet

"I'm sorry baby. Can you not angry with me? Give me another chance please. I promise I won't ever leave you again"
_namjoon immediately turned Jin's face to him.

"I can't. I'm marrying Jackson."
Jin looked away not wanting to face Namjoon

"What's the deal between you two? If it's the money, I can give him back every won he spent on you! You agree to date him cause of money right, to give grandpa a good treatment?
I will pay him back okay, so please.. please don't marry him"
_he begged

"I can't go back on my promise now. I will pay you back once I marry him."

"No. I won't let you leave me! You love me not him!!"

"He's the one who helped me when I came to Seoul with nothing except my sick grandpa"

"What should I do to compensate my mistakes Jin? Tell me I will do everything but don't marry him. I will lose myself again"

"I'm sorry Namjoon."

~*******~

After his meeting with Jin Namjoon came back to his office with an emotionless face. He fact that he can't change Jin's mind about the marriage sent him at the edge of the devastation. He knew it wasn't easy to persuade Jin but he didn't expect Jin to say it on his face that he can't be with him. The thought of Jin marrying someone else, calling someone else as his doesn't sit with him. He was angry, upset.

Now Jin is living with him in his house but as a stranger. He wish for the things would get less awkward and he stayed away from him to avoid making him uncomfortable. He leave the house before anyone wakes up and returns late nights. He even seen with taehyung less. He was back with his old lifestyle ignoring the heavy feelings in his heart. He completely avoided meeting Jin. As for Jin, he's working in jimin's Cafe which was rebuilt.

Two weeks later.. to his surprise, the news of him having a girlfriend broke the internet. He was the headline in every corner of the Korea.. magazines and newspapers wrote about him for days, all thanks to his father. After the fight with Namjoon about the shootout at the cafe, his father decided to announce Namjoon's engagement and he did.

At the cafe

"I told you to stay away from these people but you're working here, staying in his house without asking my permission and you even let him give the money back to me!!!"
Jackson shoved Jin against the wall in anger.

"How it is your business if I meddle with anyone or not? and why can't I work here?"
Jin freed himself from his grip dusting off his clothes.

"How dare you talk to me like that Jin? We're getting married next month and you should ask my permission before you do anything!"
Jackson shouts

"Yeah we're! But you can't control me because of that and I won't allow you to so let's not talk about this again"

"You own me Seokjin, don't forget"

"I know that too. I'm always grateful for your help but Jackson, I didn't sell myself to you. remember it"

"Now you're really pissing me off! Okay working here is fine, I will let it slide but you're staying in his house.."

"Be specific with your words Jackson"

"How can I believe nothing happened between you two? Isn't he a man? How can he resist himself from not jumping on you for sex? Are you two really just friends? I really doubt that Seokjin!"

Jin widened his eyes hearing that. He knew Jackson don't like Namjoon might be they he has reasons but accusing him sleeping with Namjoon is overboard. How can he insult him like that? They're getting married in a month but Jackson talking shit about him! He opened his mouth to say something but interrupted by someone.

"Excuse me mister, you can't talk like that to hyung! You're being disrespectful to him!"
Said jimin coming near to them. He wasn't intended to ease drop their conversion but he happened to hear them arguing at the back of cafe.
He couldn't stay at Jackson saying crap about Jin.

"Who are you? Do you know  what we're talking about? Stay away it's not your business man!"
Jackson said pointing at Jimin.

"I haven't thrown my hands on you just because you're hyung's fiance but you're going off limits mister"
Jimin now fisted his hand to hold his anger inside

"Did you hear him Jin? See the way he's talking with me! You're friends with a people like him! You know how disappointed I'm now? Fuck!"

"I apologise for him. He's still a child. Don't hold a grudge against him"

"Child? Oh god, for fuck sake he's more than 20 and he's a child for you?!! *His phone rang*
Just forget it. I will talk with later"
Jackson left the cafe after kicking down a waste bin that was behind him. Jin sat on the floor pressing his back to the wall. Jimin knelt down to his level.

"Hyung I would like to have a word with you." In return he just got a nod from Jin who's eyes were fixed on the ring on his ring finger.

"It wasn't my intention to hear you two talking but I heard anyway. He said Namjoon gave back the money which he spent on your grandpa's treatment. Now you're owning him nothing so why don't you just break this marriage off? Why are you still holding onto this bastard?
Just, just leave him hyung.."

"I can't do that Jimin even if I want to"
Jin said fidgeting with the ringer.

"Why can't you? I'm not understanding anything hyung, This whole marriage thing seems forced to me!"

"You can say that"
Jin now met with jimin's eyes. He gave a weak smile.

"What do you mean..?"
Jimin wasn't surprised with his answer but he's worried seeing those sad eyes looking at him smiling unwillingly.

Because,
"It is a contract marriage"
