Chapter 42
Namjoon and his team were standing outside, back of the hotel building, Namjoon thanking and briefing them a last time before they left. Seokjin was among the group, right next to the alpha. A tailored suit was in his possession, with a large trench coat over it. His eyes were covered with the dark classy glasses he had chosen for the day, it was mostly to cover the bags under his eyes because he had not gotten much of sleep the previous night. At least now knew what he was going to do on that long ass flight.
Namjoon waved the others as they dispersed, turning to the omega beside him who had his hands behind his back, eyes staring ahead."Your ride is here." The omega commented bored, rolling his eyes. Namjoon looked ahead too, noticing the black car that had just pulled by the corner, a familiar figure leaning off the side, a smile on her lips.
He just sighed turning to look at the omega. Namjoon could tell he was glaring at the other through his glasses. "Are you sure you don't want to stay?" The alpha asked.
"If your asking me if I trust you Namjoon, I do." Seokjin said turning to the alpha. Namjoon could see how the omega could have conceived that thought, it was nice to know he trusted him.
Maybe a little too much.
"I still have a lot of work, just...just come back home to me ok?" Seokjin said twitching a small smile. Namjoon cupped his face giving him a chaste kiss. "Always baby." Only Wendy was around, and quiet frankly they both didn't care if anyone saw them being intimate.
"Keep me posted ok?" Namjoon said moving away. "Bye baby, I love you." He added as he let the omega go. But Seokjin grabbed him back bringing them together. The omega didn't say another word as he smashed their lips in a rough kiss. Tongue and teeth, the Omega's hand over the mark he made the previous night. It ended soon, seokjin pulling away and smiling at the still dazed alpha. "I love you too." Seokjin said to the alpha, pushing him away. His eyes met the lady by the car, a smirk forming on his face as he saw her clenched fists.
Wendy cooed behind them, making an excited sound before winking at seokjin as he left, and following after Namjoon. "Let's go? Namjoon spoke as he reached the car. Seulgi pushed herself from the hood, nodding before getting to the drivers side. The other two followed inside, Wendy giving the alpha a look which Namjoon did not miss.
"We need to talk." Seulgi said in a serious tone as she started the car. "We nyid chu chalk." Wendy mocked quietly in the backseat but the two heard her clearly, Namjoon biting down a laugh, while seulgi just glared through the rear mirror.
Namjoon stared out the window in thought. His company was finally falling in where he wanted it to, but his personal life wasn't, he was making a web, and he felt like he was already getting tangled in it. She could still feel Wendy's glare on his head, and as much as he wanted to ask, it could wait, maybe a little longer till Namjoon figured what the hell he was really doing.
They pulled up to a fancy complex, the three getting out of the car. "Why are we here?" Namjoon questioned a little annoyed, he just wanted to be done with the meetings and go back home. "My apartment is here, we can talk inside.....you can wait." She pointed to Wendy for the last part. The secretary rolling her eyes.
"You can take a break for a while, maybe tour around. I'll call when am done." Namjoon said to her, keeping his tone firm, he could see those knowing eyes of hers, watching him keenly. She nodded at last leaving the two. "Let's get this over with." The alpha said moving to the said apartment. He had a lot of things he needed to put back on line.
"Listen -"
"No you listen Seulgi, whatever it is that your doing is not going to work, all those things your saying to Seokjin behind my back needs to stop. Its rude and disrespectful. I didn't tell you he was my mate so you could go after him with your ways. I told you so you could stay away from him." Namjoon deadpanned as they stood in the apartment, he should have known seulgi would pull such a card at Seokjin. She always did.
"There isn't a thing that I told him that wasn't true. But You.....you haven't told him that am your ex, you haven't told your supposed mate that we were lovers. Talk about disrespect." She scoffed lightly.
"That's between me and him, so stay out of it. And second we were never together, you know that."
"So what changed?" She shouted, putting the glass of liquor that she had poured for herself down. "What changed for you, why are you in a relationship now."
"Seulgi-"
"We could still be us Namjoon, we could still...still have fun, and relive the olden days. You know no one can pleasure you like I could." She purred stepping into the alpha's bubble. She let her hand ran along the others arms, up his neck to settle on his face, cupping his cheeks. Words sultry just as her gaze.
"I know you Namjoon, and I know he's not your type. He's fragile, I know you don't like that." She stated as she step closer, the distance between their faces mere inches. Seulgi couldn't understand why she wasn't chosen. She was far better than the male omega, prettier, and most of all able to handle Namjoon. Sexually.
So she leaned up pressing her lips to the alpha in a kiss. Namjoon stood rooted for a bit, he let the kiss linger for a second wondering just where he had gone wrong with Seulgi. Why she was so obsessed with him, before putting his arms on her shoulder and pushing her away.
"What are you doing seulgi?" He asked in a rather calm tone, needing to understand. "I offered you myself years back and you rejected me. I was everything you wanted. I still am. So why can't you be with me. I love you Namjoon." She spoke, her eyes cast to the side. Namjoon narrowed his own. Was it possible for someone to feel that way.
Oddly he wondered what he would have done if maybe jin rejected him. If all those things he felt for him would have been discarded. He wondered how he would have handled it. "Am in love with him. Am in love with seokjin. Its something I haven't felt before, not even with you seulgi." He kept it crude as he spoke. He didn't want a reoccurrence of what just happened.
"But you are right, you were everything I wanted. Your strong, beautiful and unique. Maybe in another life if I met you while I was this grown you would be the woman for me. But not now, now I belong to Seokjin, and only him. Am sorry seulgi but me and you simply can't happen." His voice was firm, a little loud just so the other could hear.
She wrapped her hands around herself. Turning away to wipe a tear. "Fine." She said finally, moving back to the glass liquor she had left on the table. "Fine, I guess there is nothing I could do about that." Namjoon didn't expect her to agree that quickly. She was a fighter, and more often than not she would have put up a fight, so the alpha watched her posture, and how she tipped back the glass of alcohol.
"No games seulgi." He added knowingly. "No games." She confirmed, eyes watching out of the window. "I need a favour then."
"I can't do anything for you." Namjoon replied immediately groaning.
"I need your help Namjoon, friend to friend. Just this last time and I'll be out of your hair." Namjoon didn't want to do it, working with Seulgi alone was already causing them problems, what more if it became personal.
"Please, just this last time and I promise I wont bother you again." She pleaded walking back to Namjoon.
"What is it?" Namjoon asked testing the water. He wanted a chance to back or retract if he deemed it bad or inappropriate.
"Daddy has yet to give me my shares officially, I still kind of work for him. He is meeting me every Tuesday of this month for an assessment, starting next week. I need you to go with me."
"Why?"
"Because you know me better than anyone." "Seulgi." Namjoon started to protest, he didn't want to do this already.
"Just hear me out please...he is going to look at more than just my knowledge of the business. He wants to dip into my personal life because he believes its important, am not asking you to pretend to be my boyfriend or anything.....well that would be better but I know better than to ask that. I just want you to accompany me so he can see the kind of people I associate with, that's all."
Namjoon without thinking knew this was not a good idea. He didn't want to upset seokjin more than he had already did, but Seulgi had opened doors for his company, it shouldn't have to be hard to repay with a small favour. He was torn
"I don't know seulgi." Namjoon said, running a hand through his hair and pacing on the space of the living room. "Come on, don't think too much about it. Just three dates with him and we are done. My brother already got his place. If this doesn't go right for me. . .I could lose a lot. You know how my dad is." Namjoon knew how much Seulgi had worked to get a spot in his father's company. If it didn't go well for her, the brother could get almost everything. He wanted to help her despite the things she had done.
"Back home?"
"Yeah, in Korea." She said clasping her hands and holding her breath. "Fine, but this is the last time Seulgi. Our work relationship is good and I don't want to ruin that with all this." He gestured with his hand between them.
"Deal, I'll stay out of your business. Personal business that is." She smiled hugging the alpha. Namjoon let her for a moment before prying her off. "Am leaving now, see you in Korea I guess." Namjoon announced. She nodded, letting the alpha go. Namjoon moved to the door, stopping for a second to look at her. "Don't say anything about this to my mate. Not any of it." He warned. To which the lady nodded.
Namjoon walked out shutting the door behind him. He missed the mischievous smile on the other's face, as he walked out, also unaware of the trap he was walking in. He was too busy thinking of how he would tell Seokjin about this. Or if he would even tell him at all. About the kiss, and the pending dates, and also the ex lovers thing. He was a mess, and he just kept getting messier with all this hiding and lying.
He sighed once more as he walked out ,calling his secretary to ask where she was. Maybe after all the meetings they could get drunk together. "Where are you at?"
"Am getting my nails done."
"Where?" Namjoon asked rubbing at his temples. "Why? You want to join?"
"Get your ass back here right now." He didn't given her chance to get another word in as he cut the call. She always got the last word in if given the chance, sometimes it was hard to tell one was a boss to the other. They were more like siblings. Always bickering.
"Jesus, you couldn't just let me finish?" Wendy whined as he approached the alpha. She had just been around the corner. "We are here for work not a vacation."
"You literally sent me away to go tour around, now you acting like its my fault." She whispered to which the alpha glared at her. "Is there something you want to say, do it now because you won't get another chance." Namjoon said facing her, she had been glaring and talking back of late.
"Last chance." He said as their car pulled up. "What is going on with you and seulgi?" She blurted out.
"What do you mean. Work of course." She rolled her eyes at the response, looking at their surroundings, spotting some of Seulgi's staff who could understand them. "Dude,what the fuck are you doing?" She asked in English. Namjoon knew she was seeing through him. Wendy had been with him since he started, they knew each other well as she acted as his confidant at times. So he didn't argue, he let his gaze fall somewhere else.
"I don't know" he admitted back in the language.
"Don't spoil this like the others Namjoon. You know seokjin is one of a kind. I would hate to see you hurt him." She commented patting the alpha's shoulder. Namjoon would hate to hurt Seokjin too. It was his fear.
