Chapter Twenty-four: Namjoon

I was the favored son, and it's because I came to the family first. Mom and dad found me on an all boy's orphanage at the age of ten. I was used living alone even if I'm around a bunch of kids,
who's a lot like me. Our parents turned our back on us and we were all there waiting, that maybe someday they'd come back to get us. Some of my closest friends back there got adopted first. I remembered how I cried that night when Jackson, who was like a brother to me, was taken away from me. He was adopted at the age of 6, and I on the other hand had to wait four years before Mr. and Mrs. Kim came.

Living in a mansion from an orphanage is very difficult for me. I had to adjust to fit in and be familiar with their way of life. I simply cannot take away the fact that they took me in, a poor stranger not just into their home but to their family.

I witnessed the difference, but I did not forgot about my past. The things that I have acquired, I worked hard for them, I didn't want my foster parents to think I should be entitled to get what I want easily.

I haven't disappointed them all my life. I avoided that.

That is why right now, the look that Dad gave me is unfamiliar to me. I cannot express what I feel right now but I am more focused on what to say to Seokjin and do about Jungkook.

"Are you going to see that boy Namjoon?"

What the fuck is going on that kid's mind?

His question struck fear in my heart. I'm afraid he'd stoop so low and drag Seokjin in this situation.

"That's none of your fucking business."

I glared at Jungkook one last time and stormed out of the office.

This is wrong in so many ways. It didn't have to be like this. Just thinking about being away from Seokjin is driving me out of my sanity. I cannot bear to live thinking that because of me, someone's life might be in danger.

Someone so special to me.

I just cannot let that happen.

Opening thw car door, I hurriedly fished my phone out of my pocket and checked the time. Its  almost 2 pm and no texts from Seokjin either. That sassy ass guy, what should I expect?

I dialled his number.

"Hey what's up?"

"Hi, its so good to hear your voice. What are you doing? You haven't texted me, I was worried."

"Hunting elephants, just the usual."

I laughed at his response. "Why am I with you again?"

And I swear to god he scoffed and I could see his eyes rolling at me and it made smile. "Come home and see the answers."

"I'm on my way so you better have answers or I swear--"

"Don't you dare continue that. Bring your ass over now."

He hung up. I am out of words.

I shook my head and started the engine but before I could drive off, someone walked in front of my car and stood there. Eyes piercing through the windshield.

Then he smirked.

I was about to say something when he walked towards the passenger's seat and opened the door. Flashing a smile he asked, "Can you give me a ride?"

My nerves are wracking but I sucked it all up and glared at him. "Fuck off Jungkook."

I pushed him out and locked the door. I was expecting he would be aggressive but instead he laughed. Hysterically.

I drove off.

With the feeling of unease. I am scared for Seokjin's safety.

As I parked my car, I saw Seokjin heading in to the apartment building holding a plastic bag. I hurriedly went out of the car and called his attention.

He was eating a popsicle when he turned around. His face lit up and ran towards me. "I didn't know what to get so I just bought ramen and tteokbokki from the store. Have you eaten already?"

I cupped his face and kissed his forehead. "I will be having you for lunch."

He slapped my hand and rolled his eyes. He raised his hand and shook the plastic bag. " You are not eating anything. These are all mine."

Seokjin then went ahead without me leaving me laughing at his cuteness. God, I love him so much.

I followed him and caught him boiling water on the kitched. I took my shoes off and headed to the couch.

He wasn't saying a word though. It wasn't that I don't mind, I was kind of thinking to tease him up a little bit.

I don't have plans to fuck him--at least for now. I just want to feel his existence and appreciate him being in my life.

I'd do anything for him.
