Namjin Oneshots

Clumsy first meeting

Namjoon hurried into the bustling cooking class, scanning the room for his brother, Taehyung. Amidst the sizzle of pans and clatter of utensils, his eyes locked onto a figure by the stove. Before he could reach Taehyung, he accidentally knocked over a stack of pans, and one crashed to the ground, causing a commotion.

"I'm so sorry!" Namjoon exclaimed, bending down to pick up the fallen pan, but as he did, another person, Jin, hurried over, visibly flustered.

"That was my favorite pan!" Jin's voice rang out, a mixture of frustration and dismay evident on his face.

Namjoon's heart sank. "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"

Jin sighed, clearly upset, but something in Namjoon's earnest demeanor softened the edges of his frustration. As Jin took a breath to respond, his anger was momentarily interrupted by Namjoon's dimpled smile, which had a surprisingly disarming effect.

"I can't believe you broke it," Jin muttered, but his tone softened slightly.

"I'll replace it, I promise. I feel awful about this," Namjoon assured him, trying to rectify the situation.

Jin hesitated, torn between irritation and the sincerity in Namjoon's apology. "Fine. Just be more careful next time."

"Absolutely. And if there's anything else I can do—" Namjoon began, but was interrupted by Taehyung bounding over.

"Namjoon! What's going on?" Taehyung asked, looking between his brother and Jin.

Namjoon quickly introduced himself and apologized again to Jin, who seemed a bit more composed now. Their eyes met for a moment, and Namjoon impulsively extended his hand. "I'm Namjoon. Let me make it up to you somehow."

Jin hesitated before accepting the handshake. "Jin. Okay, fine. Just… try not to break anything else."

Namjoon flashed his dimpled smile again, trying to ease the tension further. "I'll do my best. Hey, would exchanging numbers be a start?"

Jin hesitated for a moment, assessing Namjoon, before nodding and exchanging numbers with him. "Text me when you're replacing that pan."

Relieved to have somewhat resolved the situation, Namjoon promised to make things right before bidding Jin and Taehyung farewell, hoping that this unexpected encounter might lead to something more than just a broken pan and an apology.
