"You haven't changed one bit since I last saw you." "I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing." Seulgi replied as they settled down in a high end restaurant she had picked out for them. She flattened her palms on the table flashing his multiple coloured nails. One colour matching her lipstick. Red.
"Its definitely a good thing, you look young as always, like you've barely aged a second for the past five years." Namjoon praised further, always his sweet self whenever he talked to clients. Except seulgi was not just any client, she was an old friend, one from the prestigious college he was in. Now taking over his father's multi billion company alongside his brother. They were wealthy people, and Namjoon needed just that for the upcoming project. The past was the past.

"I see your still your flirty self Namjoon, thank you, though you look different." She stated tilting her head. "I do?" "Yeah, I see you've gotten more fit, and more.....more sexy." She said trying to gesture with her face. "I don't know something is just different about you."

"I guess after years it gets difficult to pinpoint." "If only you would try to reach out, it wouldn't be so much trouble." She said in a light tone with a smile. "I wanted to, even this projects? I wanted to pitch them to you and your brother earlier, but you seemed busy. Every news I got about you was about work further away from home than the last-

"Oh come on since when has distance ever deterred us." From her tone alone Namjoon knew she meant more than just work. Distance wasn't a problem for them back then when it was all pleasure. It shouldn't have been now when it was work. "Your right. I should have reached out when I can. I guess I have been busy too." Namjoon conceded not wanting to dispute, or point out that she could have reached out too.

"I can tell, your taking Korea by storm I see all these awards your claiming. You might get throne if you keep it up." Her tone was genuine with encouragement, she was a fellow business person, so she knew Namjoon was destined for something big.

"The throne doesn't matter to me any more, success I just enough." She narrowed her eyes at the alpha after his sentence. A lot was definitely different with Namjoon. If she recalled clearly the throne was important to both of them back then. Two kids eager to succeed their families, eager to show the world something better, something different. They collided like two similar stones, same goals, same targets but different mindsets. One knew how to draw a line, when to stop and quit, and when to keep going. The other clueless about defeat. Seulgi didn't know what it meant to give up, or let go. If she wanted something she was going to get it. So she gave Namjoon an incredulous look. "Why not?"

Namjoon just sighed smiling softly at her. "They is just some other things I want more in life than that now. It isn't as pleasing to imagine it as it was back then, its fine if I get it, and its also fine if I don't." He wanted to tell her things that made him happy than his company. Things like being in love with seokjin, mating with him, and possibly having a family with him. He wanted to tell her that that was the throne he was fighting for now, and nothing else mattered. But he knew her well, and he knew she wouldn't see it the way he did.

"You really are someone else Kim." She stated picking her chopsticks to eat. The alpha did the same. Pitching him his intentions as they ate. He didn't have any documents on him, just his brain. He liked to do that on first meetings, his knowledge of whatever he was trying to sell was important, and he showed that free of papers. It always got people intrigued on his intelligence. How well he could use only his words to get someone in the box.

Lunch lasted a while, different conversions towards business, and the goals they planned to achieve by the end of it. They were seated upstairs next to a large window, so comfort was not a problem. "It sounds really good Namjoon, that brain of yours never ceases to amaze me. I like it."

"I was saving the best for you." He teased as he drank a glass of water, a bit of it going down the side of his mouth. He picked the napkin wiping it off, failing to notice how she looked at him. "So should I schedule another meeting, so we can further discuss it?"

"Absolutely." She said with a smile. "We should catch up sometime." She proposed, her eyes trained on him. Namjoon agreed "Yeah."

"Outside work Namjoon." She added, her feline eyes boring into the alpha with a tint of seduction. Namjoon knew what she meant. She wanted to rekindle a flame, one that wasn't their for Namjoon in the first place. Seulgi was unfortunately just one of his sex partners although he would agree to have had treated her different. Maybe show a little more than he always did. Either way Namjoon wasn't a part of that life anymore. Not a bachelor anymore. He was finally feeling. The strong emotion of love with seokjin, and that was better than anything else.

He didn't want to assume anything though, maybe she just meant spending time together. Besides, they were probably going to be partners, and accusing her of trying to get him in her bed wasn't a good idea to kick off things. So he nodded surely, agreeing to catch up with her sometime.

They talked for a bit before Namjoon informed her the gala he had to attend tonight, and why he had to leave. "OK, let's set up the meeting and we'll see how it goes." She hummed to Namjoon, her eyes trained on the others phone where she was keying in her personal number for the alpha. She gave it back after she finished, having saved it with a kissy face emoji which Namjoon thought was playful of course.

Namjoon stood, pocketing his phone then accepting the others hug since her arms were wide open. "I'll see you soon." She muttered next to the others ear before letting go, having smelled the scent of an omega on him. 'Probably another fuck he had at night. Nothing she couldn't deal with.' She thought as he eyed the alpha's back while he left.

The one thing she hadn't gotten, was now within her grasp. Of course. What she wants. She gets.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Damn, I just want to fuck you right now. Honestly you look fuckable in that." Seokjin rolled his eyes for the nth time at the alpha, while trying to hide a smile, as well as his blush.
Namjoon in his twisted way of appreciating what he wore was embarrassing him in front of the woman and man who were putting him in different suits. He cursed himself for allowing the younger anywhere near the dressing rooms.

Each time he would come out Namjoon would say how sexy he looked, a course meal, treasure, fuckable........ The attenders had to listen to it all, and they were just a blushing mess as the omega after each round. "Should I pick this."

"Pick all of them, you can wear this tonight but take the others too. They all look good on you." Namjoon said from the couch wear he sat with legs spread with a glass of champagne. Seokjin just nodded requesting all of them to be bagged.
"Do they always give alcohol in stores." Namjoon inquired as they waited. He just had two glasses, and when it didn't do anything close to getting him drunk, it helped him loosen, just a little buzz before tonight.

Seokjin just hummed, amused at how the alpha was excited today. "Damn, I've been going to the wrong stores then." He said with a sly smile to the two attenders who just blushed bagging up their stuff. That meeting got him in the best mood, and he made sure to show the omega just how much.

He wanted to spoil Seokjin with every store they went, drowning him in clothes and jewelry, and the shoes.... boy the shoes. Seokjin wasn't familiar with this side of Namjoon, the extravagant one, who wanted to get him every piece of fabric he laid his eyes on since he insisted on paying. It felt different to see him that bubbly and playful. Seokjin loved how he would do a mini model show for him every time he put on something fancy, making funny faces, and snapping funny photos.

They shopped in almost every section telling inside jokes every time they came across something funny. They shopped some jewelry too, Namjoon getting him a silver necklace, one that matched the one he had given him. Then rings which he assured was for himself and not the omega. They laughed about it. The omega acting like he didn't just get a small heart attack by how much Namjoon stared at him while he chose the ring. At one point they passed a lingerie store. Seokjin had never dressed in anything sexy for a partner and he wanted to do that to Namjoon but feared he wouldn't look good in anything like that, or that Namjoon would not like it. He contemplated for a bit before deciding against it. Maybe he would ask him first.

"This is more than enough Namjoon, let's leave, because I know if we go to another store you won't resist." Seokjin said feeling a little tired. They were out walking all noon, maybe he needed to get in a quick nap before the event. "Are you tired?" Seokjin nodded, a pout forming on his lips. Namjoon kissed him, chuckling at him . "OK then, let's go then-"

"Namjoon?" The alpha was cut by a female voice calling to him. They both turned their heads. Namjoon immediately cursing under his breath while seokjin just raised an eyebrow at him. "I thought I saw you earlier passing. Turns out it was you." The woman squealed, finally reaching the two. Seokjin eyed her up and down, feeling some type of way already. Jealous.

She was pretty, even in her casual black jeans, white shirt and dark glasses, she looked elegant, sophisticated. Her heels clanked on the floor below them as she moved to kiss Namjoon's cheeks. "Hey Joy, what are you doing out here." She laughed, raising the bags on her hands. "Shopping for lingerie."

Seokjin took in an audible breath alerting the alpha. "Joy this is seokjin my BOYFRIEND, Jin this is Joy, my.....friend." He stressed the boyfriend part to alert the lady about her loud mouth.

She didn't catch the signal.

Joy moved her glasses to the bridge if her nose eyeing the omega with a smile. "God damn, you are handsome. I didn't know you swung that way Namjoon." She purred as she shook the Omega's hand. "I do, we are actually mated." She gasped audibly, bringing a hand to her chest dramatically. "I see someone finally captured your heart, is that why you haven't been answering my texts."

Seokjin didn't like where this was going. Namjoon didn't either. Joy had absolutely no filter, he knew that first when they slept together. Namjoon just didn't think he would be on the receiving end of it now. "We were just leaving...."

"I even bought this for you, too bad you can't see me in it now, I got another "friend" now, can't play with me anymore. Although I must admit I'll miss you Wolfie." She said running her hand down the alphas arm. It wasn't malicious anything, it was just how joy was. And it was honestly why Namjoon liked her in the first place, but the loud mouth. This girl absolutely no chills. She would tell you she fucked your man, not to hurt you, but simply because it happened, now Namjoon was experiencing that first hand. Bitch had a low radar sometimes. Smh.

"Am telling you, you've got someone with you, I bet he has shown you what type of a monster he is in the sheets, and that monster dick. Mmmm." She said to the omega her eyes narrowed at him, like she was thinking about the said dick.

Namjoon couldn't read anything off Seokjin's face, not even his eyes, they were blank, and to make it worse, Namjoon couldn't even smell him, he couldn't decipher if he was angry, or hurt, or sad. There was just nothing, until the omega turned to him. "You guys catch up, I'll be in the car." He said in a blank voice before walking away. "Damn, he's got some ass too, how lucky Namjoon."

"What the fuck was that for Joy." He whisper yelled at her, angry she would say those things at Seokjin. "Did I say something?"

"You fucking said everything. Why would you do that. He's my boyfriend, and you just fucking said we were fucking in front of him." Her face morphed to that of realization. "That offends people?...." She asked more to herself than to Namjoon. ".......what are you waiting for, go after him." She shouted at Namjoon earning a few stares.

The alpha just clicked his tongue, trying to move with the luggage in his hand as he left the store for Seokjin.

He was fucked.
