EPISODE 72 (Finale Pt. 3)

NamJin

=========================

Wednesday...

After Yoongi and Jimin left, Namjoon appeared after half an hour.

"Babe, can you take a day off today and tomorrow?"

He asks directly as he leans on the counter.

He didn't even mind the others since he's familiar with them already. But he didn't notice the old man with glasses hearing his request, sounding like an order.

Jin clears his throat and faces him. Namjoon not getting why Jin keeps poking his lips to the left side keeps smiling.

"Who are you?"

Namjoon finally turns to his left and saw a small old man looking at him from head to toe.

"Uh, hello, sir?"

Namjoon bows and greets.

"What do you need? And who are you to Jin?"

The old man asks.

"I'm his boyfriend."

Namjoon proudly announced.

Jin laughs awkwardly and butts in.

"What's your order, sir?"

He asks Namjoon.

"Boyfriend? And how can we know you're telling the truth?"

The old man ignores Jin and asks again.

Namjoon turns to Jin with a smile.

"I'd like your special today and I'll have a takeout later."

He grins before turning again to the old man.

"I'm Kim Namjoon. Jin loves cooking and baking. He loves dad jokes. He loves his two younger brothers and most importantly, he loves himself."

Namjoon smiles wider.

The old man nods.

"I see. The last statement proves it. But how can I know you love him?"

The question caught him off guard but when he looks at Jin, he saw the expectation in his eyes.

He chuckles a bit before looking straight into the eyes of the old man.

"If I may, sir. I'd like to take him out later."

He asks politely.

The old man glares but turns around and entered the manager's office.

"Fuck, is that your dad? I was so nervous!"

Namjoon immediately confessed to Jin after the door closed.
