When You Came || Namjin

36. Not happening

"Joonie, how's this one? Can we buy-", Jin stopped talking as he realized namjoon was nowhere near him. He huffed, thinking that namjoon must've gone lost again.

Sighing, and dumping the clothes in the shopping basket, he went around in search of Joon. To his surprise, namjoon wasn't gone very far as seokjin spotted him fairly quick. He raised his hand to his mouth in order to shout his boyfriend's name but dropped it back down as he noticed namjoon was talking to someone.

He went a little closer and he could basically see Namjoon's tensed shoulder muscles. There was a tall young man who had his hand on a beautiful woman's waist. Seokjin vaguely thought that they looked weird together.

He shook his head and focused on what they were talking about as he hid behind a large rack of clothes.

"Namjoon... It's been long...", the woman smiled and seokjin looked at her skeptically. He didn't get good vibes from her.

"Is he- ?", the man said with wide eyes, looking at namjoon and then back at the woman. "Yes, honey. He is. He's the one who took my baby away from me", the woman dared saying and before he could stop himself, he stomped angrily towards the three.

"Excuse me? Namjoon did what?", he asked angrily. This woman had the audacity to lie about his hus- boyfriend. What does she think of yourself.

Besides him, namjoon looked at both of them with wide eyes. He understood why Dahee was lying. But he surely didn't understand where Jin suddenly appeared from.

He kept a soothing arm at his boyfriend's waist and nodded when he looked at him, showing him that he's got it. Seokjin gave him a curt nod and backed away, just a bit.

Namjoon turned his attention towards his ex. "What are you talking about, Dahee? Everyone knows it was you-","Let's go, Woosik. We'll see him at the court", Dahee sais suddenly, cutting namjoon off.

He stared at them confusedly before seokjin asked, "What do you mean by that?" The man, Woosik, looked at Dahee who nodded for him to continue. "Dahee and I have decided that we're going to apply for her daughter's joint custody", he said calmly. "I'm Choi Woosik, by the way. Dahee's boyfriend. Nice to meet you, Namjoon and....", he looked at seokjin and seokjin tried coming out of the shock as he said his name. "Seokjin. Kim Seokjin. Namjoon's boyfriend", not very nice meeting you. He didn't say that out loud, obviously.

On the other hand, namjoon felt like he couldn't breathe. Memories from all those years flashed in his mind as he reminicised how he had raised his 7 year old. He could feel his world collapsing as he thought about the consequences of Joint Custody.

Jiyoo was his daughter only. Oh, and Jin's too. He wasn't just going to let some stranger claim her as their daughter.

"About the Joint Custody, not happening", he said calmly, though he could feel his fingers trembling. Seokjin's warm hand moved around to tangle with his own and he sighed at the touch, scooting an almost negligible bit closer to the older.

"I'm sorry but I didn't ask. I'm informing you", Dahee barked out like she had every right to be angry. What a bitch.

"But you can't do this! You can't just come into her life anytime you want and then go away. And she's happy with her dads and brother. She doesn't need you", namjoon growled. He was furious. He couldn't even imagine not spending a whole with jiyoo. He knew how joint custodies worked. He knew if Dahee won, jiyoo would have to live with him for a week and then with her the other week.

He knew jiyoo would hate that. His angel would get so hurt even thinking about not being with him. He couldn't do that to his daughter. Namjoon hated this too much.

"Okay, then. If you're so against the idea of Joint Custody, how about a full custody case? Sounds about right", she smirked, showing that she was serious.

Namjoon was bewildered. "What the fuck? Absolutely no! As if I'll let you take her away from me", he screeched, wanting nothing more than to punch a bitch on the face.

"See you in court, then. Let's go, baby", Woosik said and Dahee winked at namjoon before she walked out with his boyfriend.

As soon as they were out of sight, namjoon broke down into tears and fell straight onto Jin's chest, holding him tight. "Joonie, it's okay. Don't worry. Nothing will happen. She can't just take away your daughter from you", he said softly, running his fingers through the hair which was very soothing and a very good way to forget about his worries for a minute.

"H-hyung, let's go home. I don't wanna stay here anymore", namjoon sniffled in his shift as he said that, making seokjin chuckle softly. Namjoon was sad and a sad Joon meant a very clingy and cuddly Joon. Seokjin loved it. Not the sad part but the clingy and cuddly part.

"Of course, sweetie", seokjin said as he led namjoon to the billing counter and paid the bill from his own card.

As they sat inside the car, namjoon was restless, he could not sit without moving every five seconds. Seokjin could tell that he was extremely worried about the whole custody thing.

"Hyung, but where are we gonna get a lawyer? I've heard that women have more chances of winning custody cases so I don't think anyone else would wanna take our case. We'll have to make some arrangement", namjoon said. His eyes droopy and his eyebrows creased as he looked at the elder worriedly.

"Hyung, I don't wanna live without my Jiyoo and if nobody takes the case, they'd automatically win, that's final. But I don't want that, hyung. Please do something. I don't fucking know who'll be able to emotionally attach themselves to the case and, keep our baby safe", namjoon said, his voice extremely discouraging.

They sat in silence, thinking about their possible lawyers. Suddenly, both of them whipped their head to look at each other and their eyes shined.

"Park Jimin!"
