Being back in Korea, Jin can't help but sense threats everywhere. Especially in the fact that Namjoon is going to meet Seokjin at a social event. Something he wishes Namjoon doesn't go. He can make up some excuse. The whole issue of Namjoon having to be believable that he's not the real creator of the drug-like Altered shoots Jin in the foot.
The idea is that they could kill Seokjin and even that doesn't seem like a possibility! Jin wants to scream out of hysteria, but he tries to control his emotions as not to have an argument with Namjoon again.
They are fine.
They are better now.
They went on a couple of dates before returning to Korea.
They went for a walk. More specifically to the theater, the zoo, they had a picnic and were able to stay reading for a while in a public library. It was fun. Namjoon was amused. Jin knows this because he kept constant surveillance on the different levels of him. Both hormonal and chemical.
They were having fun and that should be enough. Jin wants to think it was enough. But... How to leave it like this? When there is Seokjin in the picture and Namjoon is furiously irritated by Jimin and Jungkook. Jin is convinced that he already suspects the real feelings between the two. They were very indiscreet. Especially Jimin. There's no way he'll deny that he's in love with Jungkook so hard, that he'd be willing to die for him if the opportunity presented itself.
The anomalous possibility.
One in a million and he would still take it.
He exposed himself since he went to Busan, Jungkook was kidnapped and he didn't hesitate for a second to consume more than three times the dose of Altered, all to go after him. He was left in a coma for a week because of it.
The love between them is very intense, also very real.
They spent six months as lovebirds all over China, enjoying what they never were...
Namjoon hates that.
He has never shown jealousy towards Jungkook. They don't have that kind of relationship. He is, in very basic terms, the watchdog that anyone have outside the house and the person take care of by giving food and shelter. Nothing else. The affection between the two does not exist. Jimin on the other hand is a totally different case.
He is his cat. He's his first Altered. It is his greatest creation.
...
One who turns out to be more interested in something similar to him, but not in the creator of him.
A creator who cannot bear to be displaced under any circumstances. Not even the worst way imaginable. Jin was determined not to give Namjoon the chance to knock them all out. He has been able to delay it so far without problem. However, one day before the ASCAR anniversary meeting, Namjoon approaches him in the laboratory, where Jin had just examined Suga.
Who has not been degraded in the least by fortune.
"Why haven't you given me the frequencies?"
"I've forgotten." Jin lies, but it is feasible thanks to the constant stressful situations that he has experienced personally. Namjoon takes a deep sigh. "If I gave it to you... What would you use it for? It's not like any of us could-"
"If Jimin is really in love with Jungkook, let's assume it" Namjoon begins without letting him speak, approaching him. Jin purses his lips and looks down, scared. "And he leaves, whatever the circumstance." He stops a few centimeters from Jin. "He's going to die, he knows he will, but he doesn't know he'll come back. Just like Yoongi, he'll be at a level of stability such that I won't be necessary to him" Namjoon narrows his eyes. "Do you want that to happen? For Jimin to disappear forever. For him to do who knows what. Against us. Against me."
