"Dad...we have to do something ...before we spent out next life in fucking Cells!" A man around 26, seethed in pure anger ...glaring at the older in front of him...

Ju-Kyung sighed and massaged his temple...

"You think I'm not worried about that Taehyung?!" He raged and slammed his fist on the table ...

Taehyung scoffed and kicked the chair ...and stood up angrily ...

"First of all, we wouldn't have been here if you hadn't done that thing in anger...." He muttered and took a long sip of his whiskey...

"Mistakes happens My son, tell me what should I could do when that fucking rat saw everything! " His father calmly delivered and leaned back...

"Mistake?! ...BECAUSE OF YOU DAD MY WHOLE BUISNESS IS AT STAKE!" The whiskey glass in his hand shattered in his hand .... due to extreme anger 

Taehyung reason for this furious act was genuine, his company was losing shares and stock market pricing was also dropping because of the recent reputation loss .... all because of his father....

The company in which half of his life was invested ...was now on the verge of getting exposed ...just because of a small matter of a murder...or say suicide ...

This matter would have never arisen this much ...because Taehyung had arranged everything to save his company...to save his father ...

But he never knew that ...Byun Byun-Jae would pick a lawyer outside Seoul .... Now, that unique lawyer is pissing him off...

"2 weeks earlier, Namjoon came to my safehouse...demanding the confidential share report of my company..." Taehyung winced in light pain that emerged because of the glass that he clutched in his hand....

"Then what?" His father worriedly went towards the cupboard of his office and took out the First-aid kit...

He gestured to his son to sit on chair and soaked the cotton in the antiseptic ...

"I gave him only the 25% of the information..." Taehyung spoke trying to control his wince

His father gently dabbed the cotton on the wound and plastered it properly

"What do you think Kim Namjoon is planning?" Ju-Kyung looked straight in his eyes ...

"Whatever he is...he better not be scheming against us.... I will end him..." Taehyung gritted his teeth and clenched his jaw...

"You don't need to worry about him Taehyung I'll take of it..." His father smiled and cupped his cheek...

"God Knows what is he doing with the case" Taehyung sighed ...

"He needs a little speed up, doesn't he? ...." His father sat on his previous position

"Let's give him a little scare" 

Taehyung smirked viciously and glanced at his father...knowing what his father was intending too...

"It's better to tighten ...our leash on Namjoon before he bites our back..." 

"It's good to see you ...Jackson" Namjoon let out in extreme nervousness ...

Nervousness because the man in front of him is basically ready to murder him ...through his eyes...

About an hour ago ...when he was sitting in the car with one and only park Jimin regretting his life decisions...

How in the world he ends up in a car ...blasting with Rap songs?

Jimin was driving the car ...at a reasonable speed while Namjoon had his eyes closed ...secretly vibing to the music ...

Jimin smirked looking at the man beside him knowing that his song selection had fancied him...

"Where are taking me Park Jimin?" Namjoon groaned 

"On a date..." 

.

.

.

.

"Stop the car..." 

"Just kidding Mr. Namjoon .......or not" He chuckled and drove swiftly 

.

.

.

.

.

"Seriously a Cafe...?" Namjoon glared dangerously at the goofy man beside him...

"You really aren't trying to bring me to date, do you?" 

"It's a date ......but not with me..." He smiled but his smile was ...suspicious ...

Still having some faith in nature .... Namjoon entered the cafe followed by Jimin ...

The blue side Cafe

Namjoon entered the cafe ...and immediately his irritation melted down ...when the Air-conditioned atmosphere of the cafe ...made contact with Namjoon

Namjoon sighed in content intaking the cool air of the place...

He dragged the first chair to sit but Jimin abruptly stopped him

"Not this one ...that one is perfect" He pointed to the farthest couch seating ...that was in the end of the cafe.

Namjoon again glared at him while Jimin just smiled sheepishly ....

Namjoon couldn't understand ...by which coincidence of this mother Earth ...you and Jackson are here today...

bewilderment was visible on his face when he saw Jackson wang walking towards their seat ...slowly followed by your tiny presence...

His breath stacked in his throat when he witnessed your morning fresh ...presence ...

Jimin sitting beside him smirked and leaned back on the couch ...watching the upcoming Drama in his comfortable position

"What are they doing here?" Jackson's forefinger pointed towards them as he exclaimed ...

Namjoon's eyes were playing table tennis between you and Jackson ...

You slowly emerged from your best friend's back and glanced at the two most unexpected people together ...

Park Jimin and Namjoon?

How in the world did they meet? 

As far as you know ......Jimin was your neighbor and Namjoon....whatever

"I don't know..." you shook your head dismissively and Jackson angrily stalked towards them...

"This seat is supposed to ours ...get up..." 

Way to start a conversation Jackson wang ...Is this kinder garden?

"This is a public cafe ...Jackson wang ...I supposed everyone is free to sit anywhere... " Namjoon looked over Jimin blankly ...maybe trying to figure out why Jimin was so casual with Jackson

Since Jackson has been living with you guys for the past 4 weeks .... He practically had a good conversation with Jimin on a daily basis ...like Neighbours do .... you know?

"But we want this seat .... I suggest you take your friend to another one..." 

Namjoon was awfully quite in this situation ...his leg was bouncing up and down ...nervousness was visible on his face

"It's okay Jackson we can take a another one..."

You patted his bicep to gain his direction ...

"I don't think you can sweetheart..." Jimin spoke with his infamous smile...

"Why not-" 

"Look around..." 

you looked around as he said and saw the whole place filled with people .... It was morning time ...busy cafes are common ...

"Y-You can join us if you want..." 

Namjoon licked his lips and bit the bottom to gain the required confidence to speak in front of ...you

"No, we are fine..." you spoke almost immediately when Namjoon offered you guys to join 

"Y/N that's our seat .... we will sit there..." Jackson's stubbornness is greatest in the world ...

You can't remember when that specific seating was yours ...but looks like Jackson has already had this seat imaginarily patented to him...

He grabbed your wrist and dragged you to the seating ...you let you enter first because this couch seat is aligned by the glass wall ...

He soon accompanied you by sitting to your left ...

you slowly pushed down the strap of your work bag and placed it on your right aligning to the glass...

A waiter soon came by the table and placed the wooden crafted menus of the cafe...

Jackson had his right leg placed over his thigh ...he made his position ...intimidated enough...

The atmosphere of the table was ...tense ...you tense that it could be sliced with a knife ...

"So, where to this morning sweetheart?" Jimin asked ... earning a glare from his left ...which was none other than Namjoon ....

Namjoon was sitting across you ....by the glass wall...He was mentally preparing himself not to show himself venerable in front of you

'Why are you so nervous Namjoon?!' 

His sub-conscious questioned him ...he took a deep breath and calmed himself from the rising nervousness...little did he know ...he was not the only one who was ...nervous

"Work..." you spoke answering his query......and again started reading the menu...

An unknown nervousness creeped in you when you saw Namjoon after so many days.... you can't pin point that feeling ...but when you entered this cafe .... goosebumps spread over your skin witnessing Namjoon

'Why are you so nervous Y/N?!'

 "It's good to see you Jackson..." Namjoon's timid voice broke the awkward atmosphere of the table.

"Unfortunately, I can't say that to you Kim Namjoon..." Jackson glared at the man across him...

"Woah! Is the work that stresses him out that he is grumpy like that?" Jimin laughed 

"Jimin..." 

"Yeah?" 

"Shut up" Namjoon swiftly interrupted the unwanted humor of Jimin

Namjoon was really seeing Jackson after so many days ...as he was aware of the story that Jackson's and your friendship was on verge of breaking one time...

"Namjoon ...How's the case doing .... I'm sure Y/N is giving you a hard time... " Jackson proudly snickered and took a bite of his pancake...

Hearing Jackson's remark you suddenly became aware of your surrounds ...you were so lost in the unwanted nervousness of your ...that you didn't notice when the food was ordered and presented ...

"Yes...she is ...she is really giving me a hard time"

your best Friends's eyes went wide ...he was made that remark to taunt him ...but it backfired at him...Namjoon was suddenly gone defenseless ...his fierce remarks and cocky expressions have been washed somewhere...

"Well, we intend to do that more you know? .... we will defiantly win this case... " 

Only Jackson and Namjoon were the people who were conversing on the table. While you were just observing and Jimin was enjoying ...

"How are you related to him Jimin...?" You asked indirectly gesturing what was he doing with Namjoon ...It was very usual for you

"We are friends..." 

Three words just three words ...Jimin answered your long query in a monotone ...you nod in acknowledgement ...while Namjoon's facial expression were having some troubles...

"What the fuck are you saying?" He muttered quietly in Jimin's ears ...no way in hell Namjoon was a friend of this guy

Jimin wiggled his eyebrows muttering 'I'll explain it to you later...' ...without any further questions Namjoon continued messing with his coffee

You sat there completely ignoring the existence of Namjoon ...while Jackson was also doing the same...

Soon you guys finished your breakfast with the unwanted tension in the air...

you placed your fork on the empty plate and peeked at your smart watch ...

only 20 minutes?

you guys literally finished your breakfast in 20 minutes ...maybe because of this tension or awkwardness you say ...you ate the breakfast at lighting speed....

When two lawyers are ready to rip their throats out in a courtroom ...it's evident to feel the awkwardness after meeting outside the courtroom

"See you at the court .... Kim Namjoon..." Jackson stood up and smothered his shirt ...while you also stood up with your bag with a blank expression...coating your features

During all this breakfast ...you didn't speak a word ...and that bothered Namjoon .... he would prefer your cunning, hatred words than your silence ...

"I will just go and wash my hands..." you spoke to your best friend ...he nodded and went out to wait for you in the car...without bidding any end greeting to Namjoon or Jimin...

"I will be back..." Namjoon hurriedly ran behind your retreating figure...

Jimin smirked and took out his phone

"This date was juicier than I thought..." 

you stared in your bored eyes through the mirror ...while your hands were washing ...

you sired your hands in the dryer ...which was taking hours to do so...

when you open the restroom's door to exit ...you met with person you didn't want to face....at least not now

Without giving him any glance ...you walked past him ...when he spoke

"Y-Y/N" Namjoon turned and came in front of you

you didn't respond to anything rather ...stayed quiet ...

"Can we...uh...Can we try to be friends?"

His hesitant question ...shocked you...your eyes visibly went wide ...

"Friends?" you spoke in an unsure tone...

"Yes, like fellow lawyers ...hang out sometime?" He spoke in almost a meek voice...like he was scared ...

Hang out sometime ...taking you somewhere .... but why? ...this was not the first time Namjoon has asked you this .... probably it was the fourth- fifth time ......Is he really avoiding what he did 6 years back? or just trying to prove something to you? What was the point of asking you something like this?

"The things you have done to me Kim Namjoon ......doesn't allow us to be friends "

"Y/N-"

"Namjoon....we are just as fine as opposing lawyers .... nothing more, nothing less..." You walked past him .... not forgetting to witness his solemn expression...

His facial expression visibly went downhill ...from nervousness and hopefulness to sadness and hopelessness...

"See you in court..." 

With that you finally went out of the cafe ...with an unreadable and unknown feelings in your chest

'What are you planning Namjoon?' 

"Sir..." 

His fingers were continually typing on the keyboard brutally ...his eyes were bloodshot.

"Mr. Kim"

Ignoring his assistant ...he continued typing away his anger on that poor keyboard ...his outer shell was showing that he was working with dedication ...but inside him ...only he knew ...a turmoil of emotions was going on...

"Sir, its 11 pm in the night ...we can complete the work tomorrow..." Lee pleaded in extreme worry of his senior...since Namjoon was just working without any care of the world ..since morning 

"You can go home..." Namjoon muttered without glancing to his assistant

"But sir-"

"GO HOME LEE!" 

Shivering ...his assistant ran out from the cabin ...

Namjoon rested his fingers and little and grabbed the already made whiskey in the glass near his table ...he gulped it down in one and resumed his anger management 

The reason for his bloodshot eyes was the alcohol .... which he was taking without any measure 

"Don't think I will let you go this easily Y/N ......I will do anything for your forgiveness"

he closed his eyes and the same view of your morning fresh eyes...projected in his mind

He leaned back on his chair ...his Adam apple bobbed down as he drank the whiskey

His peaceful thought of you ...were broke when his mobile went ringing 

"For fuck's sake" he muttered and grabbed his phone harshly and was about to turn it off.

but the name on the caller's ID made him halt...

he picked up the call without any thoughts 

"Hyung, I told I will be working late-" 

"N-Namjoon..." Seokjin broken voice creeped a fear inside him 

"W-what is happening" 

"D-ad and Jieun are in hospital...."
