Secrets [NAMJIN]

14

Namjoon stood in front of a high-end restaurant and sighed. He can't remember why he agreed to the blind date. Ah, Eunha emotionally blackmailed him by saying "I never asked you to do it. This is for you dad."

He looked at his watch and sighed. Was he going to be stood up? At the age of 38? He sighed again and looked around. There wasn't anyone on the streets other than a few people walking back home, probably. He checked his outfit on the restaurant's glass. He was wearing a black suit and his hair was styled back. He was setting his hair when he heard a throat clearing behind him. He quickly turned back and smiled, "Hyorin-shi." He bowed to her and she bowed back.

Hyorin smiled, "I hope I didn't keep you waiting." She was wearing a beautiful red dress that ended right above her ankle.

Namjoon shook his head, "Oh, no. I just arrived."

Hyorin giggled, "You are bad at lying, Namjoon-shi."

Namjoon scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly, "I am sorry."

Namjoon opened the door for her and she entered the restaurant thanking him. She looked around, "Whaa, did you rent the entire place, Namjoon-shi?"

Namjoon laughed nervously, "I think my daughter went a little overboard."

Hyorin covered her mouth with her hands, "Oh, do you have a daughter?"

Namjoon nodded as he pulled the chair and Hyorin sat in it, "I hope you don't have a problem with that."

Hyorin shook her head, "No! Of course not. I love kids."

Namjoon sighed in relief, "That's a relief. Honestly, she is a teenager."

They fell into an easy talk for a few minutes. The waiter came with wine since Eunha had already placed the order for it.

They were talking when they heard the manager talking to someone. They came to the table and the manager bowed, "I apologise for the inconvenience, but I think we overbooked the place. There is another couple that would like to sit and it seems like they had a reservation too. If you don't mind, can I make them sit here?" He pointed towards the table beside theirs.

Namjoon smiled, "That's alright. We don't have a problem, right Hyorin-shi?"

Hyorin nodded, "Yeah, we don't have a problem."

The manager signalled with two fingers and the man came with another couple. Namjoon's eyes widened as he saw the couple. They were Seokjin and someone he knew perfectly well. Really? Taeyang? Hyung can't get that low. Namjoon thought and he shook his head to clear it out. None of his business, right?

Seokjin was wearing a very beautiful and slick black suit and his hair were down on his forehead.

Taeyang looked at Namjoon and smiled nervously, "You are the other person that overbooked?"

Namjoon chuckled, "I am sure we booked first."

"You guys know each other?" Hyorin asked with curious eyes.

Namjoon waved his hand, "We were acquaintances in university."

Seokjin rolled his eyes internally.

The manager bowed and went away. A waiter came to Seokjin's table, "What would you like to drink?"

Taeyang nodded, "A red wine and a whisky with coconut water."

Seokjin's eyes went wide, "You still know my preference?"

Taeyang smirked, "Of course, I do. I remember everything about you."
