A Desire for the Moon

18

Seokjin's eyes went wide as he saw Namjoon come in with another man.

As soon as the doors closed, Seokjin put his fork down, "What is going on?"

Namjoon kicked on the man's knee, making him fall to the ground. "He was following Seokjin around with a camera." Namjoon wore a black t-shirt and a pair of jeans with a cap on his head.

The man Namjoon had brought in was about 5'9". He was fair-skinned and had curly hair. His eyes were almond-shaped with brown coloured iris. He was badly beaten up. He had a cut on his cheek, and his lip was busted. His left eye had started to become blue.

Hoseok scanned the man from top to bottom. He knew there would be more wounds on his body. Namjoon must have beaten him up [pretty bad.

Seokjin raised his eyebrow before smirking, "Namjoon, why are you treating our guest like that?" He looked at the man, "Please excuse Namjoon. He can be a little rude sometimes. Why don't you join me for breakfast?"

Namjoon was really confused. Was he really inviting a stalker to breakfast? The man turned to Namjoon to scoff and sat on the chair in front of Seokjin. Seokjin offered him a plate and smiled mildly, "So, Tam, who sent you after me?"

The man, Tam, looked straight into Seokjin's eyes and smirked, "I will never rat on him. I don't know how you know my name, but I am sure that now everyone will know that you are an alcoholic who sneaks out to party all night. And probably sleeps ar-"

Thud!

Hoseok smashed Tam's head into the dish in front of him. Tam screamed as the spices from the dish went into his wounds and burnt the skin. "When His Majesty asks something, you answer him without billshiting. Who sent you after him?" 

Hoseok left Tam's head. Tam took a deep breath. Tears were streaming down his face. He gulped a little before speaking, "Kim Moonbae offered a large sum of money."

Seokjin chuckled, "Of course. Why do we even ask?"

Yoongi was about to say something when Tam laughed a little. Yoongi raised his eyebrow, "Have you lost your mind? Are you really laughing in this situation?"

Tam smirked, "Have you forgotten that you don't have any jurisdiction here? You can't do anything with me."

"But he has." Namjoon looked over her shoulder. The door opened, and the man came in. He was the king's assistant, New.

New bowed to Seokjin and looked at Tam, "He is right. I have complete jurisdiction here."

Tam glared at New, "That's why your king is not fit to sit on the throne. You should be on my side. I am a citizen."

New smirked, "You stalked and tried to harm our guest. Of course, I will arrest you. Don't expect any special treatment just because you are a citizen."

"If you can't defend your citizens, then you don't have any right to be in that palace." Tam scoffed.

New raised his eyebrows, "I would have defended you if you were innocent."

Tam rolled his eyes, "Do you have any evidence?"

"A lot, actually," New smirked. He looked at Namjoon, "I'll take care of it from here."

Namjoon bowed to him, "Thank you, phi. And thank p'Tay too. He helped a lot."

New nodded and patted on his back, "Take care."

As soon as New left the room with Tam, Hoseok turned to Namjoon, "Why didn't you report to me about this?"

Namjoon shrugged, "I saw him yesterday at the club, and I didn't want to waste any time."
