1059 Words
The next day at work, namjoon noticed jin was a few minutes late. He didn't mind but it wasn't like him to be late, he was always early.
After 10 minutes jin showed up. He didn't look like himself, his eyes had visible tear tracks and his hair was a mess.
"Sorry I'm late, I know I look like a mess, I didn't hear my alarm this morning," said Jin as he tried to smooth his hair down.
Namjoon didn't want to mention the call from the previous night so he just went along with it.
"Its no problem at all feel free to clean up and do whatever we don't have to do many sets," he said as he handed Jin everything needed.
Jin nodded, gave a small smile and went to get changed. As Jin was getting changed, Namjoon got hit with a sudden realization.
They are going to lunch together today.
Jin came back out looking good as new. The theme for this 'version' was the 80s and flowers. Jin wore a black fedora, white t-shirt, complemented with a black cardigan and red skinny jeans. These were going to be inside the stores.
Jin posed with the flowers in his hand, putting them close to his chin. His eyes had no trace of tears.
He's stunning.
The next picture was the same outfit, jin held the small purple flower bouquet with both hands in front of his chest.
The next few pictures had slight variations. Jin had changed into black pants with a white t-shirt, black suspenders and a black cardigan with small white markings on one side.
He wore the fedora and stretched his arms out, smiling with his teeth on show.
Namjoon noticed as the shoot went on jin felt happier. After jin got dressed into his normal clothes they reviewed the photos.
The boys were sitting on Namjoons lap while he explained how the after-effects would change the photo to fit the companies expectations.
When it became time for lunch Namjoon thought jin forgot about lunch. He was wrong, there was no way jin was forgetting about lunch.
The men decided on a small cafe around the block from the building. Yoongi insisted on sitting next to jin, while hobi sat next to his appa. After ordering namjoon thought it would be a good time to bring up the phone call.
"Hey Jin, I don't know if you remember or meant to but you called me last night and I heard sniffling, is everything alright I understand if you don't want to talk about it," he said starting to backtrack.
"Oh yeah... I didn't mean to call you, the crying was just to let out some emotions I guess, ill be fine don't worry" he said giving him a small convincing smile.
Namjoon only nodded as he watched the boys color and yoongi try to teach hobi how to play tic tac toe with him. After they chatted and ate namjoon quickly paid for the meal.
"You didn't have to buy lunch, I could've paid for it," said jin as they all started walking back to the studio.
"No I insist, it's just a friendly gesture for inviting us to eat with you."
The boys were quiet since they were sleepy and ready for a nap. Once they made it into the building they headed back to the studio.
The boys went down for a nap and they finished a few sets while having small talk.
Once the session was over Changbin called Namjoon over to his studio.
While Yoongi held Hobis hand to help him walk Namjoon held open the door, he knew what this was about and was prepared for the teasing.
"Sooo how was your date, Romeo? Did you get your Juliet yet?" Changbin said not even giving Namjoon time to come inside his office fully.
"Thin ice Changbin, thin ice" he let out a stifled chuckle and sat down.
"Hey, you said I owed you, how about tonight we go eat, give you a small break from your little monsters?" Namjoon sat up.
"That would be great, but I don't have a babysitter" he tried to decline.
"I can watch em Joon! I love your little guys it won't be a problem at all" Wooyoung said.
Namjoon smiled, "if you really don't mind, I guess I could use a kid-free night" he once again chuckled.
"Then we shall go to that new fancy restaurant, down by the bakery!" Changbin cheered.
"Deal" was all Namjoon said. He was getting a night off, the first he'd had in forever.
// Time skip //
It was 6 pm Changbin said they would meet at 7.
Wooyoung was on his way which excited Yoongi the most, he was gathering all the toys he wanted to show him and brought them into the living room.
"Appa! I gonna show Woo this one and this one and we can play doctors!" He said jumping up and down showing Namjoon all the toys.
He chuckled "I'm sure Woo will enjoy that baby, you and Hobi have fun for me tonight okay?" He said adjusting his shirt.
Yoongi nodded and ran to the door as the doorbell rang. He greeted Wooyoung and let him inside.
"Hey, guys! Hi Hobi, hi Yoongi" he said as he walked inside. Hobi was watching the cartoon on the tv and Yoongi was reaching up to Wooyoung.
Once it was time to leave Namjoon hugged his kids, kissed their foreheads and left.
"Wow someone dressed up," said Changbin as they met in front of the restaurant.
"Says the one still wearing a tie," said Namjoon.
Changbin rolled his eyes, they were about to walk in when Changbin glanced through the window.
"Um Joon, is that Jin or am I losing my mind already?" He said as he gently hit Namjoons arm to get his attention.
" Did you have a mind in the first place because-" Namjoon cut himself off.
He was right, Jin was sitting inside, he was dressed up in a nice blue button-up shirt tucked into black slacks, nice black dress shoes and his smooth raven black hair was fixed up, a single stray strand was in front of his left eye.
He looked like he was waiting for somebody.
"Did you set up a date without telling me?" Changbin broke Namjoons stare.
"I had no idea he was gonna be here, should we go talk to him?" He asked as they thought for a moment.
"He looks like he's waiting on somebody, maybe we should wait and see" changbin suggested.
Namjoon agreed and they headed inside.
