Thank You, Stranger. || Namjin ✓

13.

Seokjin and Namjoon's shift seemed like eternity, since there were almost no guests that day. They opened the café at 9:12 am because they saw no one was coming.

They still tried their best to clean the whole place as fast as they could. Namjoon's back hurt like crazy cuz he had to put all those boxes back in the stockroom by himself and Seokjin was just yelling at him to hurry up.

Seokjin wasn't unproductive though, he was cleaning the sink with left hand and dirty glasses with the other one.

It was 1:34 pm and only seven people came since they opened. At this moment no one was at the café except for two of them.

Namjoon was standing in the bar playing with his motorbike's keys and Seokjin leaned his elbows on the bar while looking at Namjoon.

He was pouting his lips and made a heart sign with his fingers which made Namjoon uncomfortable.

"Please don't.. It looks weird." - Namjoon said with frowned eyebrows while scratching the back of his head.

"But oppa, I want to express my feelings towards you, you know you're my only oppa.." - Seokjin high-pitched his voice and made overly cute facial expressions.

"Ugh..." - Namjoon just sighed and rolled his eyes. They suddenly heard the door opening and both looked in that direction.

Seokjin widened his eyes and his legs froze. He felt like his blood froze and stopped flowing through his body. He's never thought he'll ever see them again.

Two guys with a similar body proportion and age came in and sat down to the table that was near the bar.

"It's them... I'm sure.." - Seokjin was thinking while one drop of sweat fell down his forehead. Namjoon noticed Seokjin's abnormal behavior, but decided not to ask him anything at that moment.

"What are you waiting for? Go get the order." - Namjoon told Seokjin.
"Y- y- yes." - Seokjin stuttered and tried to move his legs. His whole body went numb.

It took him several seconds before he finally started moving his feet towards the table.

"Hi... What would you l- like to drink?" - Seokjin tried his best not to showcase his fear.
"I'd like black coffee and he'd like black tea with milk, please."
"O- ok." - Seokjin barely could talk.

When he turned his back to them, one dude said "hey". Seokjin felt like he swallowed a rock and turned back to them.

"You seem familiar.. Haven't we met somewhere?" - Dude said and closed his eyes a little bit.
"No, sir.. I think I've never met you.." - Seokjin's heart almost stopped. He felt like fainting, but he collected enough energy to still stand.

Seokjin walked to the bar and leaned his hands on it.
"One black coffee and one black tea with milk." - Seokjin told Namjoon lifelessly. His skin tone went white.

"Seokjin, are you ok?" - Namjoon couldn't keep the concern to himself anymore.
"I'm fine." - Seokjin said while fixing one dot in the distance with his eyes.
Namjoon didn't believe him.

Seokjin served the two guys and one of them made a weird facial expression.
"Dude..", one of them said while looking Seokjin straight in the eyes,"Why are you wearing a choker, that's so gay."

Seokjin stopped breathing. He wished he didn't wake up that day. He thought he was in a bad dream and that he's gonna wake up soon. He didn't know what to say, so he just touched his choker and put his head down.

Namjoon heard what one of the guys said and the immense amount of anger filled up inside of him.
"Is there any problem here?" - Namjoon asked and stood in front of Seokjin.

"No, why would it be?" - the dude that made the impolite statement asked.
"Well I heard you asked my colleague something that is non of your business." - Namjoon was very pissed. He felt like if the dude would say anything offensive again he would hit him in the face.

"I just asked why is he wearing a choker cuz it looks very gay and it's meant for girls, not boys." - The dude defended himself. He got scared a little when he saw Namjoon's look in the eyes. He saw the waiter was very close to beating his ass.

"I'll say it once again - him wearing a choker is non of your business, so you can shut your mouth." - Namjoon said very angrily and the dude suddenly stood up.

"Dude, let's go from this gay bar, I can't stand these overly offended fags."
"What did you say?!" - Namjoon said through his teeth and pushed the dude down to his seat.

This time both of the dudes stood up. One of them pushed Namjoon away. Namjoon pulled his sleeves getting ready to kick those guys' asses when Seokjin suddenly said something.

"Namjoon, stop!" - Seokjin told him and grabbed his arm. Two dudes just gave then an ugly stare and walked outside the café, not even paying.

"Those fuckers didn't even pay!" - Namjoon felt like his head was about to explode from anger.
"Ok Namjoon, just relax." - Seokjin said trying to calm him down.

Namjoon just snatched his arm from Seokjin's hand and walked to the toilet to wash his face with cold water.
Seokjin was looking at his back as the pissed boy was walking. His heart ached seeing Namjoon this angry.

He took the untouched drinks and put them in the sink. After few minutes Namjoon got back from the toilet. His face was wet from the water and red from the stress those two caused, but he looked a little bit less pissed off.

They didn't know what to tell one another so they just kept silent.

              ¤¤¤

No more people came after those guys and it was very depressing until Namjoon's dad came. Two boys went outside the café right after they changed their clothes.

Namjoon didn't say anything about the incident to his dad and he told Seokjin also to stay hush. Namjoon knew that would make his dad upset and that his dad would give him lessons about how "guests are always right" and he didn't have enough of nerves for that.

Namjoon sat on his motorbike and asked if Seokjin was going home. The boy said yes.
"I wanted to talk to you." - Namjoon told Jin with a serious face.
"I'm not in the mood for talking.." - Seokjin lied trying to avoid the topic.

"Seokjin, we need to talk." - Namjoon was even more serious.
Ugh - Seokjin thought to himself and sat on the motorbike behind Namjoon.

"Where are we going" - Seokjin asked while putting the helmet on.
"Wherever you want.", Namjoon answered back,"We can go to my place, too if you want."

"Right now I just wanna take a shower and get in my bed. Can you take me to my apartment please... I mean us." - Seokjin corrected himself.

"Yes, I can take us to your apartment." Namjoon still sounded serious.

"Ok..." - Seokjin sighed as Namjoon turned the motorbike on and started driving towards the apartment.
