Eight. Pied Piper

From his nerves, he got a pimple. Jin wants to die from hatred. He used his mom's makeup so it wouldn't look so big; he also used her conditioner and tried hard to make his hair look perfect. Enter the few occasions when Jin is happy with the way he looks. Including new glasses that look better on him.

Jin adjusts the black turtleneck sweater and thin, silver chain. He thinks about whether he should wear a coat. Maybe it would be more mature and he would like it better. Although there is the option that he likes that he looks young like that. Jin puts gloss on his lips, dabbing it on so it's not too much.

If he's going to make out with Namjoon again, he doesn't want to leave his lips dirty. Jin thinks it's too kind of Namjoon not to wipe off the remains. Sure he wants to, but he didn't want to make him uncomfortable. Namjoon is too nice about it. In the end, he doesn't put on his coat, takes the small backpack with what he wants to give Namjoon today and hops to the entrance of his house.

"Have you found who to buy for you yet? Do you know if he has AIDS?" Jin rolls his eyes and turns to his twin. "You look ridiculous." Seokjin shakes his head a little. He's not combing his hair today, so he has the same curly black hair as Jin.

"No more ridiculous than you getting sixty on a test." Seokjin is left with food on his cheek and grimacing badly. "Besides you stay here locked up because of those mediocre grades".

"Who do you think you're talking to?" he scolds irritably, angrily approaching Jin. "You fucking useless piece of shit-"

"To a useless piece of shit who can't read. That's what I'm talking to. Goodbye." Jin leaves in a hurry. He doesn't want Seokjin to make a drama and his mom to stop him from leaving.

After all, she does whatever Seokjin wants. As if Seokjin deserves to have that kind of pampering. Jin gets into the driver's car and gives the usual fake address. If he tells his parents who he's seeing, they would forbid him, he'll get Namjoon in trouble. Anyway, everything that can't happen.

He smiles as soon as Namjoon opens the door, barely managing to contain his excitement to go jumping, to hug him to greet him. Anyway, he is electric for this little date that is, again, in Namjoon's apartment. The adult looks at him with an amused look.

It's so obvious how excited he is.

"Your brother fell down the stairs? You're so happy today."

Jin can only jump and squeal with excitement in his mind, thinking, He can tell I'm happy! He's looking at me so intently!

"No, but I get sixty on a test and he's grounded. Which is almost as good."

"How pathetic!" exclaims Namjoon with that sly leave with which he talks about everyone but Jin and for that, the teenager blushes. "You see? He's useless. You shouldn't even care about him."

Jin nods and can tell that, as always Namjoon is right! He is always right. No matter what topic they talk about. That's why Jin tells him about everything lately, abandoning that slight embarrassment he felt about talking to him. Listening to his opinion, thinking about what he should change about himself based on that.

He tells him about what was the exam they took, that Seokjin failed miserably considering all the support he has at home at the level of tutors and that the teachers have him as an adored child in school classes. While this conversation is going on, they eat sushi that Namjoon pre-ordered.

He has been very honest about his poor culinary skills. It's ironic and funny to himself how he doesn't know how to do anything in the kitchen, but even mutant animals in a lab. Including his fifteen year old rabbit that hops all over the room, playing.
