Just For A Few Days (Namkook)

Chapter 3: "Could you please close your eyes?"

This is a very different kind of plot from my other Namkook stories, advanced apologies if this makes you uncomfortable or hurts your sentiments.

____________________________________

Few used condoms and an empty lube bottle were left sloppily on the floor. The clothes were lying on the couch as it was the first stop where the actions started. Pulling out for the last time, Namjoon switched on the nightstand lamp and threw the condom aiming at the dustbin that was kept at one corner of the room but it failed and landed somewhere on the floor again.

"Have you ever been able to aim at anything properly?" A worn-out panting voice asked giggling.
"I am good at aiming into important things that I already demonstrated to you for last two hours." A deep raspy voice responded making the giggling one roll his eyes.

Jungkook sat up covering his body with the comforter and was about to crawl down the bed to get the clothes when he realised Namjoon was still lying on the bed.
"Could you please close your eyes?" Namjoon knitted his brows in surprise and said, "Didn't we just have sex?" Jungkook bit his lips to come up with an answer.
"But the lights were off, now that lamp is lit and it's too bright."
"Okay, fine!"

(A.N.: This scene is actually inspired from a very popular tv show. Let me know if anyone can guess it 😛)

Namjoon closed his eyes and Jungkook rushed to the bathroom after collecting his clothes from the couch. After the closing sound of the bathroom door was heard, Namjoon opened his eyes and wore his boxers, sweat pants and a casual grey t-shirt after wiping his hands with some tissues and throwing off the essentials for intimacy into the dustbin ghat were lying on the floor. He could hear the drizzling sound of shower faucet indicating Jungkook getting cleaned up.

It's already been two months that they are having this casual arrangement. The sex was satisfying for both and there were no attachments. Neither of them remembers who initiated in drunken state, but both agreed on mutual terms.

Suddenly, Namjoon turned towards the bathroom that Jungkook came out from. Dressed in a black t-shirt paired with a blue jeans, the elder cannot deny that the other looked pretty cute. There was no aftercare moment between the two as Jungkook didn't want to. Excluding the first accidental encounter, next time when they got intimate, Namjoon tried to help him, but he denied saying he's a man that can take care of himself.

"Will you be okay to be driving by yourself or shall I drop you?" Namjoon asked Jungkook who walked to the couch to pick his jacket and belongings kept on the table.
"It just happened once, Namjoon." Jungkook defended some imaginary mockery that he thought Namjoon was preparing for.
"I know! Just asking. Sorry I forgot to ask if you had dinner."
"I already had with my best friend before coming here."
"Anything else you want? Maybe coffee?"
"You don't have to do this, Namjoon. This is what we both wanted, a hassle free sex life."

Jungkook smiled at the elder whose reaction was not the same.
"Jungkook, can I ask you something?"
"Sure!"
"Do you ever plan to come out to your parents?" Jungkook was fixing his hair which got stopped after the question was shot.
"I don't think so! Coming out to them is like inviting my own death over dinner. My brother was my mom's favourite child and now look at them! She doesn't even acknowledge him as her child after he came out. I am glad he found Yoongi hyung."

"Yeah! They are really a power couple in the K-pop industry. I have had few exchange of words with Min Yoongi when he produced music for one of the movies that was released under my production house. He is a genuinely nice guy." Namjoon said recalling the past, but decided to continue, "So, what if you find someone? Will you be able to confront your parents then?"

"How about I introduce you as my boyfriend?" Jungkook decided to show his savage side to the elder who definitely was unprepared for the answer.
"I would have gladly went with you if I didn't have the last chip of hope of getting back together with Sa-ra." Namjoon said pursing his lips.

Jungkook walked to stand face to face and lifted the half heart shaped pendant that Namjoon was wearing on his neck.
"You still love her, don't you?" He asked rubbing his thumb on the metal object which was supposedly made of some cheap quality of silver due to the blackish colour of it.

Namjoon looked at his face and took back the pendant from his fingers.
"She bought this for me with her first salary at Starbucks when we were in college. The other half was with her but I guess she threw it off now. I wasn't aware of her weak financial condition back then, but I loved the little things she did for me." Jungkook went back to the mirror to fix his hair when Namjoon sat on the couch taking out a cigarette to lighten.

"What are the other little things she used to do?" Jungkook asked out of curiosity.
"She would cook for me, bibimbap was her specialty where she would use smoked salmon instead of meat. Even that was the last meal she cooked for me before she fell out of love with me and decided to get swooned by her brother's friend.

"If she is with him now, then why do you still hope for her to come back?" Jungkook asked snatching the cigarette from the grip of other's fingers.
"Hey! I am not done!" Jungkook put out the dangerous paper pipe smothering it into the ash tray and not caring about any protest from the elder.

"She is the first person I ever loved, Jungkook and probably the only one I can ever feel for. We had been through a lot together. Maybe I shouldn't have married her, things were so great before marriage but things fell out after we officially became a couple. Even with my father's inheritance, I had to work really hard to set up the production house and I couldn't give her the proper time she needed from me. I thought it was for our future, but maybe I lost the important thing to focus on the urgent ones."

Namjoon rested his head on the back of the couch closing his eyes and Jungkook went to sit beside him. Namjoon was not someone who loved media attention and paparazzi, but still few interviews revealed how great his relationship was with his now separated wife. Jungkook never showed any interest in those news, but he looked up for it when one day he found himself naked in the billionaire's arms. He was shocked at first, but it was really a shocker how he got so bold to ask for another round to know what actually happened in drunken state.

"I am pretty sure this could have been sorted in a different way and cheating was not the solution. Do you ever feel ashamed of what we are doing right now?"
Namjoon turned his eyes down at the person sitting beside him.
"Do you want me to?"
"No, but don't you think maybe we should stop if you still hope to get back with her? I mean if you are still in love with her, it's fine but if you really think you have a chance to win her back, then I think we should stop our fun."

Namjoon found a new spectrum of realisation for the baseline of his wish to get Sa-ra back as his lawfully wedded wife. Undoubtedly, he still loves her, but was getting back with a cheater like her really worth the sacrifice of amazing sex that he had with Jungkook? That felt like something up for debate to him.

"I know Jungkook, I am not the person who will ever plan of being with you as someone permanent, but if you feel like you aren't comfortable with this, I am okay to stop this thing we are having. We had fun but I understand your feelings too."

"I think we should stop it here then, Namjoon. I know about the false cheating allegation she is trying to frame you with, so in case we are seen by someone, it might create a lot of problems for your divorce case. Now that I know about your undying love for Sa-ra, I would feel like I am helping you cheating on her."

Jungkook took his jacket and inserted his phone into the pocket before leaving the apartment. Namjoon just called out for the very last time.

"I hope you are able to find someone that would encourage you to come out to your parents, Jungkook."
"Thanks Namjoon, I hope Sa-ra realises how much you love her. Bye!"

The exchange good wishes and smiles marked the end of their 'no strings attached' relationship.

As of now!
