Honesty [n.j]

♪♪♪

The next week was basically Namjoon getting into the groove of work again. He also had to get used to the stares given to him since word about him and CEO's relationship spread. Most were glad for him though, much to his surprise. He remembered to get the coffee, and had earned a scolding from Taehyung since he hadn't greeted him that morning.

When he entered Kim Enterprises, the air seemed to be different. Namjoon tilted his head in confusion, seeing all the employees scatter about. When he and Yoongi went to the elevator, they could see a glimpse of papers falling before the doors closed.

"What's going on hyungie?"

"I'm not sure Joon-ah, but we better be prepared for anything," Namjoon nodded in response, handing Yoongi his breakfast and Jimin's coffee. "Bye hyungie!" Yoongi waved with a smile before making his way to Jimin's office.

The elevator dinged on Namjoon's floor and Namjoon once again saw a chaotic environment. Employees running back and forth with documents in their hands, mumbling to themselves, with panicked expressions. Namjoon looks at them in confusion, but continues his walk to Jin's office.

"Good Morning Jinnie!"

Jin doesn't reply as he was too focused on his work. He feels a presence in his office, thankful to see Namjoon. He then drops everything he was doing and power walks to kiss Namjoon passionately.

Namjoon yelped from the sudden action, but melted into the kiss. The feeling of Jin's plump lips made him feel like jelly. Jin bit on his bottom lip to kiss him deeper, and Namjoon happily responded. Jin's tongue explored Namjoon's mouth, making him moan slightly. Jin parts from Namjoon with a relaxed face. Namjoon looks dazed. "Sorry Joonie, I needed some energy from my moon."

Namjoon blushes from the sweet statement. "Y-yeah I'm happy to help. Also, do you know why the entire building is freaking out?"

Jin just hums. "Oh, my father is visiting us supposedly."

"WHAT?"

Jin looked at his reaction with indifference. "He's not even a big deal Joonie. Not even worth all of this uproar."Namjoon noticed his change in demeanor. "Was he an asshole? I'm starting to get those vibes."

"Something like that. He never paid much attention to me as a child since he was always working for this company. He only acknowledged my presence when he wanted to talk about his job with me. About my future in taking his place here. I always wanted to make my father proud so of course I pursued his dream. My mother did the heavy-lifting with me. I've been here since I was twenty, and Jimin since he was eighteen. We had stressful lives as kids. Something no child or teen should ever go through."

Namjoon nodded with a slight frown, "What was your dream Jinnie?"

"Hmm... well, this might sound lame, but I love the food industry. I kinda wanted to have my own restaurant. Maybe name it Eat Jin, or something like that. The prices would be reasonable because I would want everyone to have a chance in eating my food."

"That wasn't lame hyung. I'd eat there whenever I would get the chance," Jin smiles, giving Namjoon a hug, "I know you would."

Their cute moment was ruined by someone entering the office. Jin lets go of Namjoon in annoyance, "Why are you here?"

"Can't I pay my son a visit?"

"So now you care about my wellbeing? Interesting."

Namjoon turns around to see Jin's father. He could see some resemblance between them. Especially in the shoulders. He feels suffocated from the tension between the two. Namjoon rubs circles on Jin's back to help him relax. It seems to work, since Namjoon can feel his muscles become less tense.

Jin's father notices the action, raising his eyebrow, "Who are you?"

Namjoon gulps, but replies confidently, "I'm Mr. Kim's secretary, Kim Namjoon and-"

"He's my boyfriend."

"..."

Jin's father has a distressed face. "You never told me-"

"You weren't in my life enough to know. I'm surprised that you even have the audacity to have an opinion on my sexuality." Namjoon stands beside Jin in silence, observing his lover. Jin never acted like this before. He looks so hurt, especially in his eyes. Namjoon couldn't imagine this happening to him, as his family supported him throughout his life.

Jin's father hesitates, "I-I'm sorry, son. I do realize that I wasn't involved in your life as much as your mother, but that can change. I don't mind who you date, as long as they make you happy," Namjoon could tell that the man was struggling to say this, he probably wasn't open with his feelings.

"Thanks for the input. I'm also thinking of stepping down. This isn't how I want to spend the rest of my life."Namjoon's eyes widen. Is he going to tell him everything?

Jin's father looks as if he had expected this. "Do whatever you'd like son. I'd support your decision."

Namjoon can see a flash of happiness in Jin's dark orbs, which were swirling with anger and sadness, "Really?"

"Yes. It took me years to figure out how awful of a father I was. It's your life son. You should have the ability to choose what you want to do with it."

Namjoon knew Jin had forgiven his father already, but he still held his stance. "Thanks. You may leave now." Jin's father smiles sadly and leaves the office. Namjoon stares at the door for a while, but turns quickly back to Jin because he heard sniffles. Namjoon immediately hugs Jin tightly, whispering how good he had been and how strong he was, while Jin quietly sobbed on Namjoon's shoulder. When Jin calms down, Namjoon has a boost of confidence, and starts to peck Jin all over his face, making him giggle.

"I feel like I can do anything now. Like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders."

Namjoon sighs. He was glad Jin was starting to get better. Jin ruffles Namjoon's platinum locks, "I'm glad you're always by my side, my moon. I've also been thinking... you want to move in with me?"

Namjoon almost fainted on the spot.
