Namjoon glanced over to the full hall once more, nicely decorated tables and well painted walls covered the space, groups of chandeliers lit the room, hanging over rich wealthy individuals, dressed in expensive suits and designer dresses, everyone looked elegant, yet Namjoon couldn't take his eyes off one omega, he felt drawn to him, even from across the room where Seokjin stood, dressed in a blue velvety suit, his hair was back to black, parted down in the middle to show his forehead. Breathtaking.

The team had collected a couple of awards earlier in the evening, and now the floor was open to socialize and make new ties. They were separated immediately, the omega whisked away by another group, eager to start a conversation with the top marketing officer. Namjoon wasn't worried though, he knew seokjin had pledged loyalty to him and his company, nobody was going to steal him away anytime soon.

What he was worried about was the alpha next to him every step, he wasn't sure what organization he was from but he was on the Omega's tail all night, at first it looked like nothing, just a fellow businessman interacting with another, but now Namjoon wasn't so sure, the guy had his hand lightly on Seokjin shoulder, occasionally moving it to his arm and back.

Irene and kihyun left earlier with the awards, and from where he stood he could make out Hoseok in a group in the other end of the room, he seemed worried, glancing over to Seokjin repeatedly, but otherwise still cornered like Namjoon.

It even bothered him further how oblivious the omega was, laughing and smiling away to the conversation among them. Namjoon wanted to storm there and kiss him, mark him, and tell the whole crowd that the omega was taken, that he was his, but he couldn't, the one thing Seokjin had asked was to keep the public out of their relationship, it was inevitable that they would find out, but in the mean time he wanted nobody in their business, and Namjoon had promised, and he was going to keep it.

The omega looked back, meeting Namjoon's eyes, he smiled, a full smile, alerting the alpha that he was fine, Seokjin could see the worry etched on Namjoon's eyebrows, and the little attention he paid to his counterparts. He was honestly getting tired of the "nice" praises himself and not so subtle invites to other companies, god, most of them were trying to butter him to see other opportunities, like the guy next to him, he'd been around him all night, Seokjin knew what he was trying to do, he knew a desperate one when he saw one. After all, he'd met Namjoon at one of this, except the alpha wasn't desperate, he wasn't beating around the bush either, simply gave a compliment and expressed his desire for the others skill in his company, it was short, yet elaborate. He hated all this going around, the guy acting like they were friends, or colleagues.

He waited for bit, before excusing himself, he walked out desperate for fresh air. He wanted to leave already, be somewhere else other than the event for the rest of the night.

He settled for the back door, the front ones too crowded, he leaned back on a wall closing his eyes and breathing in deeply, god he needed that.

He felt himself relaxing at the breeze, he could stay there for the rest of night, but he didn't want to leave Hoseok and Namjoon behind. Mostly the alpha though, he craved Namjoon for some weird reason. He wanted him close to him a lot times, especially tonight.

The few days they had been together was a little taxing, he wanted Namjoon to touch him more, kiss him more, but the alpha had laid off intimacy since that make out in his office the other day, and seokjin was too chicken to initiate anything.

He took another deep breath feeling a presence next to him, but it wasn't Namjoon, or hoseok, he'd smelled that scent before.
He opened his eyes slowly meeting a certain blond, one he wasn't so buddy with, leaning sideways on the wall, his shoulder the anchor as he faced Seokjin, that usual annoying smirk on his face present.

"Oh please, don't mind me, continue with your breathing exercises." Jaebum said, clearly out to annoy the omega.

"Of course, your presence makes that so much easier." He let out sarcastically, leaning his head back on the wall.
Jaebum smirked, digging his hands in his pant pocket. Arrogance was present in his posture, and Seokjin knew he was wearing that annoying smirk on his face again.

"Were you hoping I was someone else Seokjin." Jaebum questioned, eyes trained on the omega, he smiled as seokjin stiffened.

"What are you talking about?" of course he knew what jaebum was talking about, he was hoping Namjoon would find his way to him outside, but only himself knew that. so what was jaebum talking about?

"Of course you don't know, allow me to refresh your memory." Seokjin hated the cockiness in the blonde's voice, he didn't want to be around him any longer, but he couldn't leave, not before he found out, what the other was on about.

"Constant glancing, under table touching, always close, jealousy episodes. Seokjin, what's up with you and your boss......you know what don't answer that, you couldn't have been more obvious." Jaebum hurried out as Seokjin looked at him ready to rebut.

"I think, your falling in love with your boss, or better yet, your in love with Namjoon. How unprofessional Seokjin. Am curious what is it about him, that fascinates you, is it his words? I know he's good with those, probably swayed you like a little girl, or maybe it's his charm, you like the way that bastard carries himself? or.....or maybe he just fucks you good, its the dick isn't it?" He laughed out loud, clearly enjoying himself. Jaebum pushed himself from the wall, so he was stood beside him.

Seokjin knew he couldn't possibly deny it, Jaebum annoyed people out of pleasure, he wasn't just throwing things out there without proof or proper knowledge.

"What do you want, to tell the press, to rub it in my face, go ahead, you have no proof."

"I do not, but that's only because I don't intend to expose you." He laughed as the omega raised a brow.

"Contrary to popular opinion am not such a jerk, I don't want anything from you Seokjin, but I can't wait for the public to find out and drag your omega ass all over. I can't wait for what you two have to end in chaos. I'll be there to watch, and you wouldn't be able to blame anyone other than yourselves, not even me." He let out an obnoxiously sinister laugh after, startling the omega who was felt his eyes prickle with tears.

The thought of Namjoon's and his relationship ending in tears scared him, but it gave him more determination to prove them wrong at the same time. They didn't know what he had with the alpha. They didn't get to have a say in it.

Jaebum smirked knowing he'd caused havoc already, he turned to leave when the omega stopped him.

"You act like you know me so well, like you've ever experience anything remotely close to affection. Is it because your life is so miserable, that you have to be in other people's business to stay a float, do you find console in wrecking people, does it make you feel a little better about your sad life? It honestly sounds pathetic to me." The omega said, he didn't want to play dirty, but the other had his back against a wall, even the high road wouldn't work with Jaebum, and he sucked in a breath as the other walked to him eyes red, but face calm, a weird combination, probably bubbling with anger on the inside.

"You don't know who your messing with."

"Of course I don't." He mimicked the others tone from earlier not backing down. "You don't know who your messing with either JB." He smirked as the Alpha's face fell. He took a step forward challenging him " Yes....i know, it must be tough being you, you have to strike before your stricken, attack before your attacked. Just so you could get a little control and instill a little fear. You can't get that out of me, if you can't earn my respect, you can't get fear from me either. Am not one of your little puppets in that company of yours.

You don't get to terrorize people just because your life isn't as you want it, this industry didn't force to your position, your father did, and until you can stand up to your own father you can't tell me anything." He finished, knowing he stabbed a wound on the other, he did his research, well yoongi did, but still, he had let the alpha go Scot free for his comments for far too long, he only had to dig a little, and boy did the alpha have a lot to bury. Seokjin only brought to light a few, maybe it could come back and bite them in the ass, he didn't care, he wasn't going to let some guy step all over him.

Jaebum was surprisingly calm, his orbs reverted back to its colour, and he looked at Seokjin, that usual smirk off his face.
"You know........ Namjoon owns one of the most rising companies in Asia, he chairs the most improved, after mine of course. Anyway, he's going global in a few months......" He stepped closer, looking deep into the omega's eyes, like he wanted him to pay attention to his next statement. ".......sooner or later? he is going to have to pick between you and his success, guess what he is going to pick." That threat didn't scare seokjin now, but the certainty in the other's eyes did, its almost like he was sure, and he opened his mouth to tell him off, when a voice interrupted.

"Seokjin?" Namjoon called from the door, wondering what the omega was doing in the dimly lit back area.

Jaebum smirked at the omega one last time. "And you said you weren't his whore." He muttered before turning on his heal, he didn't pay Namjoon any attention as he walked past him, he knew that was enough to keep the alpha on edge.
Namjoon glared at him, knowing he was up to no good before moving to the omega who was still leaning on the wall. It was just two of them now. "Are you ok, did Jaebum do anything to you, did he say something, you just left, I was worried about you, is ever-"

Seokjin cut the alpha off bringing him to a tight hug, when he was close enough, he pressed himself to the Alpha's chest, eager to feel his touch. He didn't want to think of Jaebum's words, he just wanted Namjoon.

"Am fine, I just needed air, am sorry I left like that." He pulled off the alpha looking up at him.

"Did jaebum do anything to you?"
"No we were just talking, he's still an ass though." he said smiling softly to the alpha.

"Are you sure?" Namjoon insisted.
Seokjin nodded in confirmation.

"Ok, we should go home then, I asked hoseok if I could take you, and he agreed."

"Ok let's go then." He muttered.
Namjoon looked at him again, making sure he was fine. He placed a kiss to the Omega's forehead, much to the other's disappointment before walking out of that venue.

His hand locked with the Omega's on his lap, as they sat in the car. His thumb caressed the smooth skin before he brought their locked hands, to his lips, kissing the Omega's side, time and again.

Seokjin didn't want anything more or less, he didn't care what the world would say on them, what he cared about was the man beside him, the man he was in love with. He was in love with Namjoon. He was really in love with Namjoon, and it took jaebum for him to realize that.

He smiled again as Namjoon kissed his hand. He was in love with the Alpha.
