I hope you survive this chapter!! Enjoy!!!
Seokjin's recovery were fast compared before. His nightmare were almost gone. The episodes were more bearable and he felt safe and happy with Namjoon.
Because of this improvement to his health, he is convinced that he is ready to be back to work.
Of course Namjoon is worried. He is always worried. But this time Seokjin reassure him. "I'll be fine love, and besides there is a chance that you will be there with me. So there is nothing to worry about."
Namjoon sometimes find it weird to see Seokjin is acting normal like everyone else. Not that he doesn't want him to be well, but maybe because they're in this situation for a long time, he got used to it. But this is a good change. They finally can get their life back.
A day before Seokjin came back to work, Mr. Kim ask them to come to the company. The couple got worried. It is the first time that the older asked them both, it is usually the elder who was asked to come to the company.
The came to the company. The couple were standing out in the crowd with their good looks. Their suit are almost identical, Namjoon's hair is now brown and Seokjin's confidence with himself is back. Employees can't help but look at them. They look life characters in webtoon that came to life.
When they arrive to Mr. Kim's office, they were greeted by his assistant and ask them to follow him. Their hearts were pounding. The anxiety is starting to eat up Seokjin. He's trying not to overthink about what iis going to happen but he can't help himself. So he held the younger's hand. It always make him feel grounded and safe.
They are in front of the conference and Mr. Kim's assistant announced their arrival and asked them to enter the room. The two took a deep breath and Namjoon pushed the door.
As they enter they saw a group of people. Mr. Kim is sitting in the center while people as same age as him is looking at them. "We apologize for making you wait Mr. Kim." Seokjin uttered. He also gave respect to the members of the board.
Namjoon is frozen. Not that he's being disrespectful but he is not used to see them all in one room. The last time that he saw most of them is on Seokjin's graduation party. The younger were dumbly standing when the elder tighten his hold to his husband, giving him a signal to do the same. Namjoon bowed down halfheartedly, still feeling weird of what they're doing.
"Everyone, this is my son Kim Namjoon and his husband Kim Seokjin our COO." The two bow again to the board. Namjoon is getting tired of bowing.
"As you all know Seokjin experience some health issue, and he needs to take break being the COO of the company. And now, he's recovering but we want to ensure that he will stay healthy. I want him to have a limited workload but as a COO that won't do. So my son Namjoon suggested to take his place or the two of them will become the COO for a year. I want to know your opinion about this."
The members started having conversation with each other. Namjon and Seokjin can see some judgmental stares, they can see their mocking eyes, saying mean things inside their heads. And some of them shaking their heads as sign of disapproval.
"You told me before Mr. Kim that your son doesn't have any interest to take your place. What's with the change?" Mr. Gong asked. "And how can we assure that he will take the work seriously?" another members asked.
Mr. Kim planned to answer but Namjoon speak. "I want my husband to have a stress free environment while he's recovering. And about taking it seriously. I want to assure you that I will work hard and I know what I'm doing. I don't have any plans to ruin my father's company." He said firmly.
