Captivation (Namjin)

Chapter-8

After signing the marriage certificate, everyone came towards them to give them gifts and their good wishes. Their parents hugged them tightly and then went to attend the guests.

Seokjin and Namjoon stood infront of the wedding alter to receive the guests one-by-one. They received every gift and good wishes with a polite smile on their faces. Namjoon's jaw hurt from smiling so much. It felt like their guests were never-ending. Just how many people were invited to their wedding?! There was a mountain of presents and bouquets. Namjoon's friends were all attending their esteemed guests.

Namjoon really wanted to roll his eyes. But, he refrained from doing so because these were all very powerful people and all of them had certain influences on society. That's why, it would be good to maintain his polite facade and not show his annoyance. Namjoon looked at Seokjin beside him and saw that the man was not annoyed at all. He wasn't tensed like Namjoon was from that many people. Namjoon understood just how big of a deal was their marriage for Seokjin. Namjoon sighed. He almost didn't want to tell Seokjin the truth anymore. But, he had to do to it. Or Seokjin would find out by himself and Namjoon didn't want that.

Finally, almost all the celebrities had wished them and went to enjoy the delectable appetizers and to wait for the reception to start.

The last guest to come to congratulate Seokjin and Namjoon was the head of the police department. He was alone, though. The others were guarding their wedding ceremony.

"Mr. Kim, congratulations on your wedding." He said, looking at Namjoon. Seokjim frowned. The man didn't even acknowledge him. Namjoon was not the only one who got married. Seokjin, his husband, was standing right beside him. Seokjin knew almost all of their celebrity guests were invited from Namjoon's side because Namjoon and his friends rubbed elbows with famous people all the time. So, many of them looked down on Seokjin because he wasn't as popular as them. But, nobody ignored him like this man.

Seokjin looked at them man from head to toe. He knew the man obviously. James Walters, the head of the police department. Walters had caught a group of serial killers a few months back. His face was plastered in every newspaper and his interviews were shown in every news channel. He even got an award for that. Walters looked to be a bit older than Seokjin, in his late thirties maybe. He was taller than both Seokjin and Namjoon, with a muscled build, no boubt from police training. Thick, luscious hair and attractive grey-blue eyes. The man was really handsome.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Walters. Seokjin, meet James Walters, the head of the police department. We go way back. He is an old friend. And, Mr. Walters, meet Kim Seokjin, my husband, as you have already seen." Namjoon introduced.

"Nice to meet you Mr. Walters." Seokjin said first and forwarded his hand for the other man to shake. Walters might be an asshole but, Seokjin wasn't. So, he took the initiative first. Though, he wondered how Namjoon and Walters became friends. They were not the same age and didn't have the same social circle. Seokjin thought about asking Namjoon later.

"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Kim." Walters said and held Seokjin's hand in a strong grip. The grip was so strong that Seokjin thought Walters was trying to break his hand. He narrowed his eyes. Seokjin gave as good as he had and tightened his grip. Walters was smiling but, it was really a sneer of disdain and something else. Was it envy? Seokjin furrowed his eyebrows. Why would Walters be envious of him?! It was just ridiculous. Namjoon just rolled his eyes. Men and their egos.

Then, Walters turned towards Namjoon and his gaze became unbelievably soft. Seokjin almost got whiplash from his sudden expression change. What the actual fuck?! Seokjin had no idea why this man, who was a literal stranger, hated him so much.

"I got you this bouquet." Walters said and offered a bouquet to them, which Seokjin took.

"And, this is specifically for you, Mr. Kim. Just like you love, Sir." Walters said and handed Namjoon a beautifully wrapped box. Seokjin almost choked on his spit when Walters called Namjoon Sir. They should address Walters as Sir, not the other way around. Seokjin looked at Namjoon, bewildered. Namjoon just smirked. Seokjin realized that it was not just a smirk, it's a predatory smirk. Just what the fuck was happening here?!
