Toxic Duality (Sope/NamGi) 🔞

23

Namjoon's mind didn't know where to focus as he worked. Quite a few things were whirling around in his head. First, there was what Yoongi had told him. There was the recording of Hoseok's angry shouts. An image of Yoongi was stuck in his mind, silently pleading for him to stay home from work. Namjoon had wished he could stay home with Yoongi, but there were a couple reasons why he didn't. If he had stayed home, who would show the recording to Taehyung and try to get him on their side? Sure, maybe Seokjin could do it, but Namjoon hadn't wanted to place this important task on Seokjin's shoulders, no matter their width.

The second reason why Namjoon couldn't stay home was Yoongi. He couldn't get it out of his head how vulnerable and desperate Yoongi had looked when it came time for him leave. It was understandable that Yoongi didn't want to be left alone, but Namjoon could tell what would have happened if he had chosen to stay. His will power was running thin at the sight of the smaller guy, so pretty and tempting. To keep himself from giving in to the desire to make advances on Yoongi, Namjoon had even rejected a kiss from him. Maybe Yoongi knew how they were both feeling and tried to use a kiss to pull Namjoon into submission, persuade him to stay home. Namjoon wouldn't be surprised if that had been the plan. After all, Yoongi was definitely not dumb.

Another thing in Namjoon's mind was Seokjin's reaction to hearing the recording. Namjoon had played it for him during their walk to work. If Seokjin had had any doubt before, it was gone now, most certainly. The older man had looked like he might burst into tears as he'd finally heard Hoseok's true nature with his own ears. It had been discussed that they needed to get Taehyung to hear the recording and an explanation of the situation, but they needed to get him alone. How were they going to get him away from the others without getting caught?

Thinking about his phone again, Namjoon remembered the missed call from the afternoon. He had no intention of talking to the one who had called him, which had been Hoseok. The cruel abuser had probably been trying to find out if Yoongi was at Namjoon's house. Or maybe he had a more nefarious reason for calling. Either way, Namjoon didn't want to talk to him.

While working, Namjoon did notice Hoseok pass by his area a couple times, once alone and once with Jungkook at his side. He wished he knew more about the accident that broke Yoongi's arm. He wanted to know exactly what happened. Was it really an accident? Did Jungkook purposely hurt Yoongi? Was it possibly Jimin's fault? Namjoon couldn't help but be suspicious because of the dumpster incident. He didn't want to believe that Jungkook was a bad person, but he knew that the youngest of the group was being manipulated by Hoseok.

"Earth to Namjoon." Seokjin said with a little annoyance. He'd been trying to get Namjoon's attention for a couple minutes, to no avail. As a last resort to be noticed, he flicked the side of Namjoon's head.

"Ow." Looking at the culprit, Namjoon pouted."What was that for?"

"I've been trying to get your attention, but you were spacing out, doofus." Seokjin crossed his arms over his chest and sighed."If you're going to be this blank all night, you could have stayed home with Yoongi. He'd probably feel safer with you anyway."

Slumping his shoulders, Namjoon shook his head."Hyung, I couldn't stay home with him. If I did, he wouldn't be resting. He's so cute, and it's taken all my self-control to not give in when he gives me that pleading gaze and..." He groaned."I just know that I would have given in and had sex with him if I stayed home."

"And that's a bad thing?" Seokjin rolled his eyes before uncrossing his arms."Namjoon, if you both want it, I'm sure it would be okay. There are enough problems already. Don't create another issue in your head by imagining that sex with Yoongi would be a bad idea."

"I don't suppose you're just trying to get me laid." Namjoon said with a perked eyebrow.

That earned a shrug."Maybe. I mean, this is the first time I've seen you show such interest in a guy. Since I've only ever seen you with girls, I started to doubt that you're bi, as you claim."
