Joonie || NamBTS

14) I need you

"Namjoon, please do it properly", the choreographer sighed for the nth time that day.

Namjoon looked up with teary eyes and nodded his head a little. It wasn't like he hadn't learnt the choreo, it was actually because of the cut that he made on his swollen ankle. The socks that he wore kept rubbing on the wound and it didn't help at all.

He looked around to see all the members sweating and breathing harshly. Except jungkook, no one looked his way. And the look wasn't quite comforting. It was a glare which made the omega whimper in pain and fear.

He felt extremely bad and ashamed which caused him to lower his head.
"Namjoon!", the choreographer yelled. Namjoon flinched and shock and almost fell over but he steadied himself by gripping the wall. "Y-yes?", he asked nervously. "Look up! How many times do I have to tell you? How many times will you make everyone repeat the same thing!? Get your lazy ass to work!", Songdeuk, the choreographer, shouted in fury.

It caused Namjoon's eyes to well up in tears. He knew it was his fault but he couldn't do anything. It pained him to even move his leg. But he steadied his breathing and stood straight up. The music played as everyone started dancing to Dionysus. Namjoon danced with so much passion that no one could realize that his ankle was bleeding. Not even namjoon himself.

It was only when yoongi sat down with everyone at the last, did he see namjoon's injury. He gasped loudly, causing everyone to look at him weirdly. He gestured towards Namjoon's ankle with shaky fingers. Gasps were heard when everyone finally saw it.

Namjoon, who had his head between his knees and was breathing heavily, had not noticed everyone's attention on him or even the wound itself. His socks were a dark grey. If it wasn't for the white floor covered in red, no one would have realized that the dark wet patch was really blood.

The members wanted to go to namjoon and comfort him. But at the same time, they couldn't do that. There was a feeling of guilt and anger which stopped them to be humane. Hoseok wasn't there because of his solo Mv shoot, but everyone knew that the dancer wouldn't have resisted helping the boy.

Instead, Jimin went to Songdeuk and told him about Namjoon.

"Namjoon, show me your leg", the elder ordered. Namjoon looked up and quickly shook his head when he comprehended what the elder had said.

"Nam-", before the man could finish himself, namjoon stood up and ran away from there. His face wet with tears as he screamed, "No!" and ran outside of the studio. Everyone else followed him outside, but he was already gone.

"He's still crying", seokjin whispered sadly as everyone looked down in shame.

It had been an hour since they were home, and namjoon hadn't stopped crying since then. The heavy sobs and whimpers broke their hearts. Namjoon didn't love them anymore but their love for him wasn't over. And that made it even more difficult to leave him like that. But after all, what could they even do? It wasn't like namjoon wanted them. The door wasn't locked but they didn't have the courage to face him.

They sat in the living room and no one talked. Suddenly, the bell rang. "I'll open it", Jimin said and went to the door. His eyes widened in shock as he saw who it was.

"Jackson", he gasped. Everyone gathered near the door to see the young man holding a bag full of something. Jackson bowed lightly. His usual smile wasn't there. "Is namjoon inside?", he asked in a monotone voice, keeping his face straight. Before namjoon could say no, jin spoke up. "Yeah, come inside. He's upstairs in his room", he said, gesturing for Jackson to get in.

The latter nodded and mumbled a quick 'thanks' before sprinting to the omega's room.

"Namjoon...", he called in a soft voice and knocked at the door. All he could hear was loud sobs. He didn't even wait a second before opening the door and entering inside. He closed the door behind him.

"Let's give them some time", taehyung said sadly as he watched Jackson closing the door. Everyone nodded half heartedly but they knew that it was for the best.

"Joonie, baby", Jackson said as he went closer to the boy shivering on the floor. "n-no c-come n-near j-j-joonie... J-joonie n-no w-wike j-jackie... J-joonie wike no -one... J-Joonie ugwy... J-joo-", joonie was cut off by a loud sob spilling from his lips and Jackson didn't hesitate for a second before pulling the boy into a tight hug.

Joonie buried his face into the crook of the alpha's neck and sobbed harshly. His cries wretched Jackson's heart as his own tears dropped down his eyes. Joonie's tears soaked the man's shirt but he could care less. "Shh.. Baby, I'm here. Jackie's here. You're okay. You're fine. Joonie's the most beautiful baby. My baby is really pretty", he consoled. He held joonie's hands and kissed both of his palms.

After sometime, joonie finally calmed down. His sobs and cries reduced to occasional hiccups and whimpers. Jackson still didn't pull out of the hug. Instead, he kept Joonie close to his chest, rubbing a soothing had on his cheek.

"Baby, see what I brought you", Jackson said happily which made Joonie giggle through his tears. The sound felt like music to Jackson's ears. How he had waited to hear that sound again.

"Open your mouth, little one", Jackson opened his mouth as Joonie imitated him. "Ah~", he made a sound causing the other to laugh heartily. Jackson put a chocolate into Joonie's mouth who clapped his hands and giggled happily at the sweet taste. His dimples adorned his cheeks as he smiled. Tears kept spilling from his eyes and Jackson reached to wipe them with his sleeve.

"J-Joonie wove wove wove j-jackie!", Joonie screamed with joy as he tackled the alpha into a warm hug.

"I love you, too, baby. I really do".
