Promise Me - Namjin/Vmon

Chapter 18: Elimination

"Um... Guys?" Namjoon stated, feeling uneasy at the tense atmosphere around him. Hoseok and Taehyung have been staring at each other for awhile now and he can tell those are not friendly gazes. He uncomfortably shifted on the couch, darting gazes to Jimin and Yoongi, silently asking for help.

Jimin saw the sign, he sighed leisurely then patted Taehyung's shoulder. The male startled but tilted his head back with a curious look, the jealousy still remained in those brown orbs.

"Let them do their thing, you came here for me remember?" Jimin spoke while shaking his head slowly.

"Ah... yeah." Taehyung said, glare at Hoseok for the last time then turned his heels to follow Jimin to his room. The male didn't forget to send his signature boxy smile towards Namjoon before leaving. Namjoon only blushed and turned away to hide his face but Yoongi catch on, smirking at the obvious expression.

Yoongi nonchalantly avert his gaze to Hoseok, the male was silent the whole time but Yoongi could tell that he's not happy with Taehyung presence here. What a enjoyable drama, Yoongi thought. 

"Let's continue." Namjoon said, grabbing everyone attention. Hoseok silently nodded and Yoongi just obliged.

-------------

An hour passed and the session has come to an end. Yoongi yawned out sleepily while Hoseok just silently write down his report. Namjoon just sit there, he felt uneasy at Hoseok unusual behaviour but has yet to voice out his thought.

Yoongi noticed the tension, he chuckled to himself before standing up dusting invisible dust then turned to Hoseok.

"Handed Namjoon a copy of the report, give it to me later. I need some sleep so you guys may just enjoy yourself here." Yoongi said, headed to his bedroom leaving two males alone.

Namjoon were about to call Yoongi back, but he shut himself. He glanced at Hoseok, the male just stayed silent. He hated being in this kind of situation, where he can't get rid of the awkwardness and it just gets on his nerve. He sighed desperately then force himself to break the silence.

"Um..." Namjoon started.

"Hm?" Hoseok look up, noticing Namjoon awkwardness. He raised a brow with much concerned.

"Do you-" Namjoon said, gulped down a mouthful of saliva before continue his curiousness. "Do you have a grudge towards Taehyung or something? You know him before?"

"Ah..." Hoseok sighed out. He boring his eyes to those doe eyes of Namjoon, those brown orbs that make his heart skipped a beat whenever he took a peak. He has always knew that Namjoon was very dense, yet it was to this extend. How ironic, he should have known.

Hoseok pondered a bit. He knew for sure there is something between Namjoon and Taehyung, maybe even that Seokjin guy. Sure he didn't want to see Namjoon get along with other males but he can't just hold on something he could never get. Through Namjoon oblivious behaviour, he understood that the male didn't think of him anything more than a friend.

His emotion has been mixed up lately, since when he moved in with Namjoon couple of days ago. His heart raced when Namjoon presence was near, body temperature rising, suffocating when Namjoon smiles towards him, heart ached when he smiled to others. Hoseok knew pretty clearly, that he actually like Namjoon.

Yet he was afraid. Afraid of loosing Namjoon, as a friend. Namjoon could reject him but he didn't want this relationship to end. Plus it has only been a few days, maybe he was just confused?

He laughed to himself, that's not the case at all. He's been honest to himself all this time, how could he even lie? They called him a bad liar on purpose.
