Black String Of Fate

Chapter 19

Jin was slowly getting better. He had relapse twice making Namjoon extra worried. He took Jin to the hospital and Jin was given a course of strict medication and a diet to maintain. He couldn't eat anything junk but only healthy food. Namjoon got more strict than before, not compromising with Jin's health.

Namjoon advised Jin to tell their parents but Jin refused every time. He didn't want them to be worried and he, for some reason believed that the doctor was exaggerating his condition which made Namjoon roll his eyes. Jin took good care of himself feeling bad when Namjoon come home early but still struggled with the office work.

And he got better in two weeks but Namjoon was still a bit hesitant about it. But Jin indeed was fine. He felt much better and he didn't even feel needed to rest anymore, thus going out for errands. Namjoon although knew Jin was fine, he still returned back home to Jin, just in case Jin needed him.

Yoongi and the other boys were stunned seeing Namjoon so protective and caring for Jin. They all were happy for them. Chang Ho did suspect Namjoon and interrogated Yoongi about it. Poor Yoongi was threatened mercilessly with his deepest secret, forcing him to spill everything he knew.

Chang Ho was worried and wanted to meet Jin but Yoongi stopped him. He was exceptionally proud of Namjoon, knowing Namjoon never wanted to marry Jin, but he was taking care of him like a good husband. Yoongi literally begged Chang Ho not to tell Jiae and Jin's parents about Jin's condition to which he agreed.

Today like usual, Namjoon was in a hurry to go back home. Jin told he didn't have to come early and that he was fine but Namjoon didn't believe him. Jimin, Jungkook and Tae planned on going out but seeing Namjoon they all groaned. Jimin huffed, "We know you love him but can you let him be?" He said crossing his arms.

Namjoon stood dumbfounded in his place. Jimin was pissed, "Like seriously, you weren't this protective over him but now, you always want to be with Jin. It's nice and cute but dude, we are your friends. We want to spend time with you both together and not just you or him. But you always have to be with Jin, it's like he has become your center of gravity" he said angrily.

Namjoon heard every word Jimin said realizing that it was true. He was always trying to be with Jin, he couldn't miss a chance to be with him. Every morning he started his day with Jin and his day ended with Jin. Heck! he even spoke to Jin whenever he got a break. It really was shocking to Namjoon realizing it.

Jimin sighed lightly, "I understand it's new love and stuff but hyung, can you spend some time with us and also let Jin spend time with us? We miss you both" he said softly shaking his head. Namjoon stood motionless and Jimin left him, stomping out angrily, leaving Namjoon, Tae and Kook in the room.

Tae glanced worriedly at Jungkook, who just shrugged his shoulders clueless. Tae sighed and walked to Namjoon, "Don't mind him hyung, he got rejected again and that got him all sad and moody. He doesn't mean any of that but we do miss you both and we understand that Jin hyung needs you and you're there for him, like a good husband. So don't worry about us" he said softly.

Jungkook cleared his throat, "Tae is right. Jimin's ass got jealous coz Yoongi doesn't like him back. He feels sad seeing couples these day, it's nothing personal. Just ignore him" he said rolling his eyes at Jimin's behavior. Namjoon didn't respond and Taekook thought it was best to leave Namjoon alone.

Namjoon was still trying to absorb everything. Was he really spending more time with Jin? Was Jin really becoming his center of gravity? He shut the door of his office and sat on the couch like a lifeless body. His body felt heavy as the truth sinked into him, constricted his throat, fastening his breaths.
