CREATURE OF THE SHADOWS

little closure pt.2

It was a cold and dreary day at Seoul University as Namjoon made his way through the crowded hallways to his next class. He was running late, as usual, and he could already hear his professor's stern voice in his head scolding him for his tardiness. But just as he turned the corner, he ran straight into someone, causing the books in his arms to go flying everywhere.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Namjoon exclaimed, bending down to pick up the fallen books. As he gathered them up, he glanced up and found himself staring into the deep brown eyes of Professor Kim Seokjin. Jin, as he was known to his students, was one of the most respected professors at the university, known for his sharp wit and impeccable fashion sense.

"It's okay, Namjoon," Jin said with a slight smile, accepting Namjoon's help in gathering the books. "Thank you for helping me.

"Namjoon felt a flush of warmth spread through him at Jin's smile, and he couldn't help but notice how handsome the professor was up close. But before he could dwell on his thoughts, Jin spoke again.

"You're Namjoon, right?" Jin asked, his voice smooth and melodic.

"You're RM's brother, aren't you?"Namjoon nodded, slightly surprised that Jin remembered who he was. He had heard a lot about Jin from his brother, who was also a student in one of Jin's classes.

"Yes, that's right," Namjoon replied. "RM talks about you all the time. Jinnie told me!".

"Jin chuckled, the sound sending a shiver down Namjoon's spine. Namjoon couldn't deny the attraction he felt towards the older man, but he also knew that getting involved with a human was not only against the rules but could also ruin Jin's life.

As they stood up, their hands accidentally brushed against each other, sending a jolt of electricity through Namjoon. Jin looked down at their hands, a small smile playing on his lips.

"Well, it was nice meeting you, Namjoon," Jin said, his voice tinged with something Namjoon couldn't quite place. "I'll see you in class.

"With that, Jin turned and walked away, leaving Namjoon standing there, feeling completely captivated by the man he had just met. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more to their brief encounter, something mysterious and thrilling.

The days that followed were a blur for Namjoon as he found himself unable to concentrate on anything other than Jin. He attended every one of Jin's lectures, hanging on to every word the professor said, and finding himself lost in the depth of Jin's eyes.

But one day, as Namjoon was leaving Jin's class, he heard a commotion coming from down the hallway. Curious, he followed the noise and found himself at the entrance of an old, abandoned hallway that no one ever used.

As he ventured further into the hallway, he heard a voice calling out for help. Following the sound, Namjoon found Jin standing at the end of the hallway, a look of fear in his eyes.

"Jin, what's wrong?" Namjoon asked, rushing to the professor's side.

Jin looked at Namjoon, his eyes wide with panic. "Namjoon, something strange is happening. I think someone is following me."

"Namjoon's heart raced as he looked around the hallway, but he couldn't see anyone else there. Suddenly, the lights flickered and went out, leaving them in complete darkness.

"Jin, we need to get out of here," Namjoon said urgently, reaching for Jin's hand in the darkness. But just as their hands touched, a loud noise echoed through the hallway, causing both Namjoon and Jin to jump in fright.

As the lights flickered back on, Namjoon saw a figure standing at the other end of the hallway, staring at them with cold, dead eyes. It was a man dressed all in black, his face obscured by a dark hood.
Namjoon identified he is the elder son of their enemies. They both are in danger with their brothers.
