Adoration ❤- (Namjin ff)

4- Apology.

It had been 3 weeks since Jin met Namjoon. After the controversial scene, Namjoon hasn't showed up again in the coffee shop. Jin thought about quitting but he knew he didn't have much experience so getting accepted to any other job at the moment wasn't the option. He also really liked his new job since it was about hospitality and communicating with people which he liked. The customers who went there were very nice and also tipped him well. He felt like if he didn't stay active he would worry a lot about other things and lose his mind. Seokjin didn't only love his job because it allowed him to meet new people and socialize, but also because it help him keep his mind off things.

After what happened with Namjoon 3 weeks ago he thought that Namjoon would continue bothering him and coming to the coffee shop but he hasn't seen him in a long time. Not that he wishes to see him again. The reason why he thought of quitting was because he was scared to see Namjoon again and harassing him but he was glad that this certain customer hasn't visit his workplace again after what happened.

Unfortunately for him, Namjoon came to the coffee shop again today. Seokjin saw a tall and tan stranger entering the shop. The first thing he recognized was the silver hair dye and knew right away who it was. He got to the conclusion that karma was coming for him. Jin wondered if life was punishing him for the awful person he was and he started feeling guilty for things that weren't even his fault. Like his parent's divorce or...what his father did to him as a child.

The last time he saw Namjoon was 3 weeks ago and he needed to admit that 3 weeks was long enough for him to reflect and forget what ever had happened. However, he didn't forgive Namjoon completely for embarrassing him in front of a big group of people.

After sitting down, Namjoon noticed him watching and just smiled at him. As if nothing ever happened between them, he just showed his pearly whites and dimples to the boy he had traumatize. At that moment, Jin just wanted to roll his eyes at him or look away and ignore him but instead he waved at him. Jin felt like an idiot, but after he was caught looking at the other man he thought that if he was mean it would had made the situation worse. Namjoon waved back and told him to come over. Jin didn't want to but he noticed his manager looking at him and telling him to go. Seokjin had a talk with his manager after what happened and the manager had told him that his reaction wasn't professional at all.

He said he expected more of Jin and that if he had a problem with Namjoon he should have let him known so he could had a talk with the customer. He basically told Seokjin that he was wrong for storming out of the room like that and that the customer is always "right". Jin disagreed and felt angry but he couldn't do much. He had to take the criticism and promised not to do it again because he didn't want to end up losing his job. He was shocked that the manager would take Namjoon's side but at the same time he understood that Namjoon was a regular customer and knew the manager for years. Jin also thought that it was because the manager wasn't there to witnessed the scene that day so he was mostly told what happened and chose to believe Namjoon didn't do anything wrong since he's known him for a longer time.

The waiter decided to leave his pride away and take a deep breath. He got close to Namjoon's table and bowed at him before saying "Hello, may I take your order please?" with a fake tone. Namjoon couldn't help but let go of a dry laugh at the situation.

"You're a good actor." He said while crossing his arms.

"Pardon me?" Jin asked confused.

"I said that you're good at acting. You're really good at hiding how you really feel. Kind of reminds me of...me" Namjoon said with a grin. Seokjin just tilted his head and frowned.

"I don't understand what you're trying to say, sir. This is the real me."

"Are you sure about that? You may be a good actor but I'm good at seeing through people and my experience tells me there's something interesting about you." Namjoon said and it reminded him of John Cena. Without knowing Jin let out a giggle.

"You know what? When I first met you I thought you were a cute and down to earth guy, but now I can see that you're a jerk and an arrogant person." Jin said while looking angry and Namjoon couldn't help but think he looked gorgeous. No one had ever stand up to him like that. At that moment Namjoon felt vulnerable and like Jin could see his true self through the mask he's been hiding himself in. He thought of pretending to be the opposite of a "jerk" or "arrogant" person, so he decided to apologize and be compassionate.

"Oh, I'm sorry but did I give you a bad first impression? I remember seeing you cry and I want you to know that it was never my intention. I never meant to make you cry and I want you to know that I'm not a bad person."

"Then why did you do it?" Why play with my feelings like that and make me feel humiliated?" Jin said while his voice cracked. He could feel tears coming out of his eyes as he remembered what happened. At the sight of Jin breaking down and falling into his trap, Namjoon celebrated inside of him. He knew that he had Seokjin under his control and could change manipulate him to believe his fake sincerity. Bingo.

"I was just having a really bad day. I didn't mean anything I said and if you gave me a chance you'll see that I'm not like that at all. I'm really sorry for what happened." Namjoon said while looking at Jin with a "calm smile" on his face. He knew exactly what he was doing. He had done it to others a million of times before and it has always work.

"I don't want to have any problems with anyone. I just want to get along with everyone and be happy. I think you're not bad Namjoon but what you did really hurt my feelings. You even told me you would "pay" me to come with you an- the point is, I appreciate your apology and I hope we can be friends." Namjoon smiled triumphantly

"Sounds good to me. I'm glad we can leave this behind. Actually, I was planning to invite you out today. What do you think if later tonight, like at 8pm me and you go out to eat?" Namjoon said with confidence thinking that he would get a yes but Jin's respond had him shook.

"No, sorry I can't." Jin said feeling bad for regretting his invitation.

"And why is that?" Namjoon said while clenching his teeth. Seokjin got a little intimidated but let him know why he couldn't go out with him."

"Well... first of all you and I don't even know each other so well so it feels a little bit rushed. Second, you're a customer and one of the top rules is to never date a customer, no offence and third, I'm already going out with someone tonight." Jin said causing Namjoon's eyes to expand widely. Who had been the bastard that decided to take Jin from him.

"Who is it?" Namjoon asked. He wanted to know and would make sure that whoever planned to steal Seokjin from him payed.

"I'm not sure if you know him, but his name is Taemin. He works here and asked me out this morning."

"Yes, I know who he is. Do you like him?"

"Um.. Do you really need to know that?" Jin asked Namjoon. He was confused by his behavior.

"Answer the question, do you like Taemin?" Namjoon asked Jin with his deep raspy voice. Jin was a little intimidated by Namjoon's reaction but he answered nonetheless.

"Well, yeah. I think his a nice guy and when he asked me out this morning I was really happy. Why do you want to know?"

"Just curious, I hope you enjoy your date. Can you bring me a croissant please and also a hot chocolate? I'm starving" NAmjoon said and jin smiled back. He was so easy to fool. Namjoon couldn't help but thing he was adorable.

"Sure, I'll be right back with your order. Also, I'm very happy that we're getting along. Friends?"

"Yes, of course." Namjoon said with a fake smile. After Jin left Namjoon smiled evilly.

He decided to stalk Seokjin tonight and ruin the date he was going to have with Taemin.

Oh, jin trust me. Soon we will be more than friends...
