Chapter 16

"Good morning, Jinnie babe. How's your sleep?" Namjoon immediately greeted as he saw Jin coming down the stairs. His hair messy, swollen lips and small eyes.

That Namjoon loves to see every morning.

"Good" Jin shortly answer. And Namjoon halts from cooking. He wonders why Jin was not angry when he called him by an endearment. But he just shrugged it off for now.

"Does your head still hurts?" he gently placed a plate of pancakes in front of Jin's face, making the younger one drool by the food's delicious aroma.

Jin just shookt his head as a response and grabbed a fork and knife to finally eat his pancakeㅡthat Namjoon cooked only for him. And Namjoon is glad that Jin loved the pancake he cooked, at least by this he maked Jin happy.

Seeing Jin happy was already enough for him. "Anyways, i'm going back to work today. Will you gonna be okay here all alone?" Namjoon asks and Jin nodded.

"Yup" Namjoon chuckles. Thinking of how scared Jin was when he was once left alone in their house. "You sure?"

"I'm no longer scared of being alone, tsk!" he rolled his eyes, and that didn't go unnoticed by Namjoon. Oh gosh, he missed that little eye roll. It's been a while since he last saw it.

Namjoon just smiled at the other's cutenessㅡthe old Jin is returning time to time, and he can't wait any longer. He badly wants the old Jin to back. He missed dissing him.

"I get it. I gotta go, see you later." he says, and walks close to Jin to give him a peck on his forehead. Which interrupted Jin from eating, and make his swollen eyes to widen.

"W-whaㅡ" Jin was about to add another word, but before he could say anything, Namjoon was quick to already leave the kitchen. And soonㅡhe heard the door's creaky sound then a soft thud.

Jin was left at the kicthenㅡeating breakfast has been forgotten, as he just stared at the door where Namjoon came out. His lips slightly parted and his swollen eyes widened so suddenly. Can't believe what the older didㅡdid he just kissed him on the forehead as a goodbye? And oh so sweet, that simple peck left Jin's heart on cloud nine, that he thinks will completely melt his heart that has long been numb for loving again.

He is sure that one of these days, Namjoon will be found lying on the living room with no life, because Jin really wants to end his life for confusing him with his feelings. And that simple kiss on his forehead was one of those confusing actions of Namjoon that left his heart and mind confused and unsure, And to how well the older male when it comes to confusing his feelingsㅡis he does not know. Maybe Namjoon was really born to leave people's hearts and minds in confusion, right?

Jin slowly let go of the cutlery and gently placed his hands on his forehead to feel the fluttering sensation of Namjoon's kiss there. Even though Namjoon's lips had been separated from his forehead for a long time now, he could still feel the warmth of it that lingers on his temple.

The soft feeling of Namjoon's lips on his forehead was still lingering there. And that's what makes his heart to be confuse about his feelings more. He couldn't think if it's hatred or love he feels towards Namjoon.

He could no longer think straight. Just because of his feelings towards Namjoon, that until nowㅡhe isn't sure if brotherly or other than that.

"Thanks for confusing me, Namjoon. For i finally have a useful reason to kill you." he giggles, and continues eating his breakfast that Namjoon cooked for him.

Can't help but to smile sometimes when the fact that Namjoon cooked him a breakfast hits him.

Why didn't he notice that Namjoon really cares for him, before? He should have noticed that for a long time...and not just now.

------

Ryujin can't help but to flinch when ever Namjoon throws another paperworks after another. Their boss has been doing this for a while, since he entered their company this morningㅡup until now.

What's the reason?

They don't know.

Only Namjoon knows what was his own reason to throw all the papers above his desk and be mad.

"S-Sir? What's bothering you? You've been throwing all the files since this morning. What happened?" she softly ask, making Namjoon to divert his eyes from his desk to her and stare at her like he wants to kill her by that glare right away.

Ryujin gulpedㅡgetting nervous by Namjoon's glare. Even though this was not the first time the boss glare at her, "What is it to you if i'm throwing the files? Do you have a complaint?" he growls.

"N-none, sir. But i'm just c-curious. As your a-assistantㅡi have the right to w-worry about you." Namjoon's sarcastic face turned into a deep frown. Ryujin is right, she is his assistant and she has the very right to know everything that is bothering Namjoon because afterallㅡthat is part of her responsibilityㅡthat is part of her job as Namjoon's right hand.

And since Namjoon had nothing else to sayㅡand since he has finally realized that he was wrong for scolding the young woman for worrying about himㅡhe just calmed himself down and leaned his back on the swevel chair. Placed a finger on his temple as he started to massage it. He's stressing out these days, due to a lot of work without any breakㅡand luckily he at least had a vacation with Jinㅡthat didn't last any longer because of his own mistake.

But at leastㅡhe got that chance to be with his husband, alone and have a nice (?) vacation with him. He even figured out that Jin has an ability to sing when they became a duo for an songㅡthat lyrics were actually fits for their so-called relationship.

He has not yet apologized to Jin for stealing his first kiss. That's trueㅡbut he has a plan so that Jin can definitely forgive him for that mistake. He will gonna ask him for a date.

YeahㅡKim Namjoon likes Kim SeokjinㅡNo! He loves him. And he will going to date Jin so that it will gonna be the first step on getting the younger male's feelingsㅡand not just because he'll apologize to him.

He badly want to claim Jin as his...but guess, Jin won't let him.

As Namjoon has been lost in his own thoughtsㅡhe did not notice when a familiar visitor entered his office. When his spirit came back to reality, Ryujin was no longer standing infront of him, the papers he had thrown away earlier were neatly placed on his desk nowㅡand he guess it's his assistant who cleaned the mess he createdㅡas always.

It's always Ryujin who cleans and fixes the mess he creates.

"Namjoon, can we have a proper talk?" he suddenly heard a husky and low voice on his right side and he isn't that lost in his thoughts to not notice it. He immediately snap his head towards the source of that deep familiar voice, only to be meet with Yoongi's pale face.

There he wasㅡsitting on his office's lounge area, with his legs and arms crossed and his expressionless face is now on display and Namjoonㅡeventhough he's his closest friendㅡbadly wanna punch Yoongi right on his face, right now.

But he has a control over himself, so he couldn't do that to him. His hyung.

"Suga-hyung. What are you doing here so suddenly? I didn't even notice you entering the door." he lets out a humourless laugh. Though none to what he said was funny.

Yoongi stood up from his seat and take a few steps towards Namjoon. The tension between them were getting bigger at every passing seconds, especially when the urge inside of Namjoon to just kill his friend right now increases at every steps Yoongi takes towards his directionㅡthey're not like this before...they didn't get really mad at each other, nor hurt each other before.

Until Jeon Seokjinㅡor Kim Seokjin, entered both of their mesirable lives.

Both of them couldn't believe that it's just Jin that will make them hate each other. That it is just Jin who will gonna make their friendship vanish in just a flick of an finger.

They justㅡㅡcouldn't believe it.

"Why? Don't you want me to be here? Aren't you happy that i'm finally here" Yoongi replies once he was already infront of Namjoonㅡhis expression never changes.

Still blank and somehowㅡNamjoon finds it creepy.

They stared at each other's eyes for a while, but the spreading tension between them were still there.

"Of course, i want you hereㅡi literally waited for you to return here in Korea after one year of staying abroad, so why not be happy when you're already here?" Yoongi forced an smile at his answer. He's still the Namjoon i know. He thought.

Liar.

He's still a BIG LIAR.

Nothing really changed huh?

From his look, upto hisㅡatittude. He's still that rude, blankly but smart and sometimes kind kid i've known.

And last but not the leastㅡSTILL A LIAR.

"Let me ask you directly." Yoongi says and Namjoon furrows his eyebrows.

"What?"

"What relationship you and Jin have?" Namjoon frowned even more at his friend's question. Why is he interested to know?

An awkward silence reigned between the two friends and it lasted for a few minutes.. But the so-called silence broked when Namjoon answers his question with a smirk playing on his lips.

"My husband" he exclaimed and all Yoongi can do is to widen his eyes in surprise.

"W-what? H-husband?" Namjoon nods.

"Yeah. He is the one I told you and Hoseok about. He's my wife."

"He's t-that one we talked a-about?" Namjoon nods once again, and Yoongi couldn't feel his body anymore. He became numb after hearing the news, as if he's going to faint at the sudden news he heard.

There is a part of him that tells him to just calm down and be happy because his childhood friend already has a lover. But there is also a part of him that says he should not let Namjoon take Jin from him, because he was the first one who loved and knew Jin. And not Namjoon.

But the question here isㅡdid Jin became happy when he's still Yoongi's property?

Wellㅡonly Jin could answer that question inside of Yoongi's mind, perfectly.

Namjoon could not explain how he felt when he saw the older man's reaction to what he said. Is Yoongi jealous? That is the only question that is bothering his mind right now, he knows that Yoongi and Jin once had a relationship, which was one year agoㅡand that's why when he first heard Jin's name endlessly coming out of Yoongi's mouth when he chose to lock himself on his own room, all he wanted to do is to take revenge on himㅡrevenge on what he did to his dear friend.

He wants Jin to suffer at first, like how Yoongi suffered when he was still heartbroken.

Namjoon wants revenge on Jin when he hasn't seen him yet and just knows that he used to be in a relationship with his friend, Yoongiㅡbut his plan went all in vain when he first saw Jin on their wedding arrangement meeting, his long eyelashes, his cute face and his long silky hair that makes him to look oh so perfectㅡwas the only thing that caused Namjoon to cancel his plan.

At their first meeting, Namjoon already fell for Jin. And he didn't regretted it especially when they begun to live on their own.

Especially when they became each other's, other half.

When they said their bows in front of many peoples on their wedding day.

Namjoon had no regrets when he prefers to love Jin rather than take revenge on him. But he thinks he regrets it nowㅡhe worries that the friendship he and Yoongi have may ruin just because of love, and he doesn't want that to happen. And how he suddenly regretted everythingㅡhe did not know.

He got up from his seat and stepped closer to his friend that's eyes were now filled with tears. He can't see Yoongi hurtㅡhe doesn't want to see his friend cry because of love, and especiallyㅡbecause of him. No.

When he got close to Yoongi he quickly engulf him on his comforting embrace, his anger disapeared for a mean time, because seeing his friend's gorgeous eyes filled with tears softens him. It makes him weak. He couldn't see even a drop of tear fall from Yoongi's eyes. Never.

His third weakness is Yoongi, besides Jin and his family.

"Don't cry, hyung. I know you still love him, but it's also your fault because you let him go. You were the one who breaked up with him. So why were you the one who's very affected here, huh?" he exclaimed, his hands are drawing some relaxing circles on Yoongi's back.

"I-i'm fine. It's just thatㅡi'm glad he's on the right hands." Namjoon nods.

"Take care of him, appriciate himㅡdo the things I didn't did, love and treasure him more than i did." he said, finally giving up.

He now realizes that no matter what he does, he will never be able to get Jin back on his side again. That no matter what gift he gives him, Jin will never exchanges gift with him his heart.

And most importantlyㅡno matter what blocking he does between Namjoon and Jin, he is sure that he will never be able to seperate the both of them.

Because he believes, that his childhood friend and his ex-loverㅡare destined for one another.

They're destined for each other.

"You deserve him, Namjoonㅡyou really do,he's yours now. And i'm sure you are his' too."
