Two Halves

Hope Part 5

-Jin-

Everyone but Namjoon had left. Jimin and Yoongi had to leave and Jungkook wanted to go to the store for something. I watched him wrap a new ice pack over his arm due to the light swelling of it and it worried me. He got hurt a long time ago but it was hurt now because I didn't know and I should have seen it. I had noticed the way he stayed more to the right and his underhand swing was weaker as well as his serves. I should have seen it before it happened and I should have taken to his weakness.

Namjoon- "Don't look so panicked Jin. I told you...I'm okay and you don't need to worry about me so much. I know you're racking your brain about ways to make it better when you know you can't but you blame yourself for not picking up on it sooner."

I sighed lightly.

Jin- "I noticed your hesitations on using your left arm or going to the left and so did the other two but I thought nothing of it. I should have covered the left instead because that's what partners do. They pick up the weakside and make each other stronger."

Namjoon pet me once again and I relaxed to the very familiar feeling of his hand wrestling in my hair and calming me down the way he had when I felt like life was fucking me over. My phone on the table pinged so I got it. Sighing when I saw what Jungkook had said.

I set my phone down with a sigh and caught Namjoons attention as he leaned on the counter. He knew I was stressed by the way I ran my hand through my hair. It was early noon and I'd probably be busy until close to midnight again because my contractor had so many things for me to do in a day.

Namjoon- "More model work to be done? I knew about your schedule since your work had to send it over beforehand.  You have a lot of time still before your next one, besides it was early this morning that you did ours. Like two in the morning and you have a longer rest time because you're not new to this."

I nodded and smiled softly.

Jin- "Look, we need showers so I'll take the one in Jungkooks bedroom and you can take the one over there. These apartments have two bathrooms because theres two rooms and since he's the youngest I gave him the bigger room so he can shower in private."

Namjoon chuckled, I usually wasn't one for long explanations but I felt like when I talked to Namjoon again it'd be the last time so I wanted to know he was staying put. Here.

Namjoon- "You keep glancing at the door and me. You scared I'll run off?"

Shit. How did he always manage to read me like an open book. Did he know me as well as he used to or was he just getting used to me again.

Namjoon- "Don't hurt your brain trying to think of how I know. I can see right through you because you didn't change that much. If you want we can shower together like we did when we were kids."

I went crimson red at his words. I knew he was teasing me because he was the only naked make I'd seen before and when we were little I'd told him his was the "cutest little pee pee" I'd ever seen and I used to poke at it. We were so young and I didn't understand why that'd made him hard back then but as we grew up I understood and we never mentioned it again.

Jin- "Stop teasing me. It's been more than ten years since that happened and we were like four."

He shrugged.

Namjoon- "I barely remember it. When my family moved here and my sister died they asked your parents to watch me for a week so they could handle things but they left and didn't come back but they left calls. Your family just took me in I guess and now here we are. Still together like nothing ever came and stood between us."

I laughed.

Jin- "FIne. fine. Let's shower together. As long as you let me do your hair since it's all messed up everytime I see you."

He nodded and followed me as I showed him to the bathroom and told him to wait. I got some clothes for me and him as my heart slammed into my chest thinking about the fact I'd see the man I used to be so in love with naked in front of my face once again but this time much more matured and I'd already seen that he had abs form the game. When I got to the bathroom he had his shirt off and I looked at his heavily sculpted abs and v lin that traveled below his pant line.

Namjoon- "You okay? You look a bit feverish."

I nodded and turned away as he stripped the rest of the way. I had to remind myself to keep my eyes on his shoulders up as I slowly stripped myself. I had light abs that weren't very showable and I was very thin but that didn't make up for the lack of sexy I had compared to him. In highschool I was the hottest thing and even now I was worldwide handsome but that had nothing on Namjoon right now. As I got in the shower the cold water slid down my chest and Namjoon slightly moved back so we didn't hit each other as I shuddered to the frozen water.

Jin- "cold."

He laughed and pet me softly.

Namjoon- "Yeah, it's cold water Jin."

I rolled my eyes and fought the urge to look down.

Jin- "No dip."

a sudden warmth touched my abs and I shuddered when I felt his fingertips.

Namjoon- "Jin."

I gulped and looked at him again. His eyes seemed coated with something that I didnt recognize.

Jin- "yes?"

He leaned closer and placed an arm beside my head, making me feel weak in the knees being so close to him. My mind raced as I looked at his lips which did not go unnoticed by him. As he leaned a bit closer to my lips I went to close the space but instead my phone started ringing and he moved away so I could answer it. I wrapped the towel around myself while still burning up in the face and spoke to Jungkook. He said hed aloud Namjoon to hang around a while and if he wanted to sleep over he could.
