100 Days a Slave - NAMJIN

|Chapter Eleven - Confession|

NAMJOON'S POV

"Why do we have to be just friends?"

Jin dropped his chopsticks and pursed his lips. "Why are you saying weird things like this?"

He moved his chair and stood up. "Don't be saying foolish things that you don't even understand!" He yelled with his hands made into balls of fists.

I felt the world drop out from under me and I bit my lip nervously. Even though it wasn't a confession, why did I feel a sense of rejection?

He stormed off and I quickly had to embarrassingly pay whilst calling out his name several times.

Eventually, I had caught up to him at the corner of the street.

"Jin, please wait!" I grabbed his wrist. "I didn't mean to upset you! I just-"

"Why do you keep acting like this?" He complained. "WHY?!" He shouted hitting my chest strongly for the first few times, then slowly softened the punches. "Why?" He whispered, then I put his head against my chest and patted his back as he cried.

He pushed me off and wiped his tears. His cheeks were a bright crimson and the light shone on him showing the wet stains wiped across his cheeks.

"Jin, I didn't want to upset you...I just...I don't know.." I explained, and sort of trailed off as my eyes met his watery ones.

He faked a laugh and frowned. "I don't get you Joon" He scoffed. "Most of the time, you're a jerk to me... And then other times you aren't"

He paused and precious pearls cascaded from his eyes that brimmed with sadness. "Why are you so nice to me? When I'm just......When I'm just your slave" He wailed and I cupped his cheeks.

"Jin...you're also my friend" I murmured, feeling guilty, wiping his tears with my thumb. "My special friend."

He removed my hands and turned away from me. "Don't follow me. Leave me alone. Please." He commanded trying to sound tough, but I knew behind the aura, his voice was breaking. He walked off and I gulped as I watched him. As much as I wanted to hug him, I knew that he needed space.

I ran my hands through my hair. "Fuck" I swore under my breath.

I stepped into the hotel and I followed my dad's secretary into his hotel room. I gestured him to leave and fixed my collar before entering. I saw my dad with a glass of red wine while he looked out the window.

"Sit" He ordered turning his head slightly.

I sat down at the dining table and found a full course meal.

"It's your favorite" He uttered. "Except it was made by a professional" He bragged.

"Abuji. I missed you" I explained. "How was your flight?"

He sort of spun his wine around his glass before speaking. "It was okay"

My dad sat down and stared at me. "How have you been?" He asked.

I just looked at him then started to eat.

"Fine. I'll say other things" He said. "Your grades are looking very good. I'm proud" He praised. "You've also gotten a little more handsome"

"A lot more handsome." I corrected.

My dad chuckled and his eyes twinkled. I missed him so much. My dad was always so open with me.

"Namjoon-ah" He bellowed, and his face fell into a serious form. "Are you.. in love?"

My eyes met his gaze and I sort of smiled. "Yes." I nodded. "There's this guy, his name is-"
