ROOMMATE |Namjin

10

Taehyung watched Jin and something in his mind clicked.

"I know your mother."

Jin looked up and in his eyes, you could see terror.

"She's i-in p-prison."

"Yep, that's her. My mother and she are pin pals. She sends my mom photos of you sometimes. I just so happened to see one." Tae laughs.

Namjoon noticed how uncomfortable the younger got with the topic he tried to change it.

"So Tae? Are y'all finally gonna tell us who the bottom is between you and Kook?" Everybody at the table started laughing even Tae and Kook.

"Let's ask Yoongs and Hoseok the same question."

"Oh, I'm bottom duhhh," Hoseok says making the whole table bust out in laughter. "I answered now it's Kook and Tae's turn."

"Is it not obvious? It's like obviously Tae." Kook says.

Everybody laughed again until their food got there.

Jin looked at his plate, he didn't want to eat at all.

"Jin honey, why aren't you eating?" Tae asks.

Namjoon looked at Jin as Jin just shrugged.

"Jin you need to eat, eat."

"B-but J-Joon i-i'm n-not hungry."

Everybody awed at the nickname. Namjoon did too he just didn't show it.

Namjoon shook off the nickname and pointed to Jin's plate with a face that read 'eat'.

Jin grabbed his grilled cheese and started eating slowly.

"If Namjoon did that to me I would've slapped him." Hoseok laughed.

Jin looked down and kept eating. "C-can I g-go to t-the b-boys r-room?" Namjoon nodded and pointed to where they were. Jin stood up and left.

"Namjoon, what happened to that poor baby? He looks scared out of his mind." Jimin asks.

"I don't know. The only thing I know is it might have something to do with his parents considering how awkward he got when Tae mentioned his mother. He also has scars all over his chest and back."

"Bad scars?" Yoongi asked.

"They're really long and deep. He puts medicine on them but I was helping him put some on his back and he was wincing quietly."

"It's been like 10 minutes where is he anyway?" Kook asks.

"I'll go check."

Namjoon walked in and found Jin washing his hands.

"Jin?"

Jin turned around and tilted his head. "S-sorry was i-i gone t-too l-long?"

"No you're fine we were just wondering why you were taking so long."

Namjoon and Jin sat down and Jin started taking more bites of his grilled cheese. An older guy about mid-40s came up to their table.

"Hey you sweater guy." jin looked up and everybody looked at Jin.

"You dropped these." He handed Jin a bottle and everyone could see it clearly was a medicine bottle.

"Jin, what is that for?"

Jin shrugged, put his head down and put the bottle into his pocket.

Namjoon gave Jin that stare again and Jin took the bottle out and handed it to Joon.

"Anxiety?"

Jin nodded and put his head down of embarrassment.

"Aww honey you don't have to be embarrassed by it some people just have anxiety," Hoseok said.

Jin looked down at his phone and his so-called dad was calling.

Jin looked at Joon and the older nodded. "You can answer it Jin. You don't need to ask permission."

Jin answered the phone and the table got quiet so they could hear the conversation.

You no good piece of shit! You left half your closet here! Do you think you're coming back?!

"N-no p-papa."

I told you I wanted you out of my house!

"I-i'm s-sorry p-papa," Jin said quietly.

Everybody the table could hear every word.

You don't even follow my rules anymore!! Tell me what my rules are!

"D-don't s-stutter, do-don't t-talk, d-don't go b-back to yo-your h-house." He spoke again quietly.

Annnnnnd!

"I d-don't k-know papa."

DONT BE GAY!

His father hung up and Jin sat there.

"I think we're gonna go, guys. I'll see y'all around."

Jin walked to the door where Namjoon told him to wait.

"Namjoon, talk to him please."

"I will. Bye guys."
