100 Days a Slave - NAMJIN

|Chapter Twenty One - Informed|

(Unedited)

NARRATOR'S POV

"What do you mean he didn't show up?" Yoongi rubbed his temples before scratching his nape in frustration.

"I'm sure he has a reason..." Taemin added trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

"He's not answering his calls." Jimin sighed in exasperation.

"Maybe we're just over thinking this..." Jin stammered as Jungkook rubbed his back.

But something told Jin that he wasn't over thinking in any way.

"Was he at his apartment?" Taehyung suddenly questioned.

Hoseok shook his head, leaning against the door frame casually as he watched the others sit on the couches. "Myung-do hyung isn't answering either."

"So what do we do now?" Jungkook queried, widening his eyes hoping his hyung's would have an answer.

"Nothing. We just call it a day. If something bad happened I'm sure it would've reached us." Jin demurred before standing up to go to his room.

"But-"

"But nothing." Jin blurted interrupting Yoongi's sentence.

"If you guys want to sleep over, Taehyung and Jungkook will give you spare blankets, pillows and clothes. Good night." Jin concluded leaving the room.

That's what they did, they didn't bother uttering a single word.

Maybe they were overreacting.

**

Jin breathed.

I was actually overreacting. He thought once he saw Namjoon walk through the door.

They had agreed to meet up in the parking lot in front of Jin's apartment.

Jin pulled Namjoon into a hug, then suddenly pushed away once he realized that Namjoon wasn't hugging back.

"W-what's wrong?" Jin chirped worriedly and Namjoon's response was.

"Jin, let's break up."

Seokjin's heart stopped.

"What?..." Jin whispered.

"I can't keep you safe anymore..." Namjoon murmured. "We can't be together for now, I'm sorry."

"What do you mean?" Jin cried. He grabbed Namjoon's shoulders and started to shake him. "What do you mean?!"

"Jin, we can't. Myung-do's gone back to America."

Look what you did Oppa! You stressed your mom out so much she fainted! Oppa, if you want your mom to live a long life you might aswell marry me!
Hyesang's words painfully repeated in Namjoon's head.

"This is a joke right?" Jin's eyes brimmed with tears as his stared back at Namjoon's.

"Jin, please listen, don't interrupt." Namjoon begged and Jin didn't even think to disobey. His heart didn't have the energy.

"Seokjin hyung..."

The first words Namjoon spoke made Jin cry even more. No way in hell did Namjoon ever call Jin 'hyung'. And here he was talking to him as if they were strangers.

"When Hyesang and I...get married..."

Jin hiccuped, and covered his whimpering mouth with his hand.

"Don't act pitiful and alone, and don't wail and cry while you cook food." Namjoon spoke, clearing his throat. "Don't eat alone, and don't drink and enter clubs by yourself. When you get sick, don't hesitate to call the other five idiots. Don't skip or eat meals late."

Namjoon choked on his words and inhaled deeply, before continuing. "When you look at yourself in the mirror, don't ever call yourself ugly. And when you look at a Pepsi can, don't burst into tears-"

Jin's hiccup interrupted what Namjoon was saying and he cupped Jin's cheeks, wiping away his tears, before sliding his hands back in his pockets."And don't sign contracts stupidly."

Precious pearls cascaded from Joon's eyes, and his heart sank.

"I will try find a way to get us back together. I'll spend money on a divorce or whatever..." He lamented. "But if I'm not successful-"

There was a long pause and all that was heard was Jin's cries and Namjoon's shallow breathing.

"-don't wait for me. You have the right to be happy with someone else."

"How can you say something like that, when I can never forget you!?"Jin wailed.

"Jin, this ring, I don't deserve it." Namjoon softly said, almost inaudible. He put the ring in Jin's pocket, removed his jacket and lay it over Jin, who was now crouching on the ground burying his head into his knees.

Namjoon pecked the back of Jin's head.

"Are you just gonna leave like this? Don't leave me Namjoon..." He pleaded.

But his wish wasn't fulfilled.

**

Jin was still hiccuping when he entered his apartment, as expected the five idiots plus Taemin were there.

He was bombarded with hugs and questions like "Are you okay?"

Jin's face said it all, and they knew everything since Namjoon had texted them right after the incident.

"No I'm not okay!" He cried.

"Hyung, just cry, cry a river it's okay. We'll all be here to comfort you." Jungkook comforted making Jin cry even more.

But Jin's misery doesn't end there.

He snatched the envelope that Taehyung was hiding underneath his bum. (Which he was sitting on.)

He couldn't be stopped. The others had to let him do it.

Kim Seokjin.

Is who the envelope was for.

Kim Namjoon
And
Woo Hyesang

Is what was read inside.
