WRONG STRINGS ATTACHED

26

Timeskip.........

It was night in New York and Jin just got out of the shower wearing his night clothes. Namjoon already laid in the bed doing something on his phone. He saw Jin coming out of the bathroom, drying his hair and walking towards the dresser to apply his night cream as usual.

"Jin my mother is coming here tomorrow and she is very much excited to meet you." Joon said with much joy.

It had been more than 4 months since they started dating and Namjoon's family continuously pestered him to introduce Jin to them.

Hearing Joon, Jin was shocked and his towel fell and he stood gaping at the other.

"W-What?''

"What happened is there a problem love?"

"No.... I mean why does your mom want to meet me?"

"Cause you are my boyfriend silly." He answered with a laugh. But Jin was serious.

"I d-don't think I can meet her Joon."

"Why?"

"Cause it is too soon for all this."

"Seriously Jin you are talking as if our parents don't know about us. Hell I told them everything. My mom just has to meet you in person."

Jin was quiet.

"Don't tell me you haven't told your mom about us" Joon joked. He was sure that the other trusted him enough to tell his moms about them. But Jin was mute. He just stood there. Seeing this Joon stood up.

"You have told them right?" he asked placing a hand on Jin's shoulder.

The other just shook his head in reply.

"It is too soon for that. We haven't even known each other properly." Jin said as walked towards the bed to sit down, eyes pinned to the floor.

"What do you mean? Haven't know each other? We are living together Jin what do we not know about each other?" anger was building up within Joon as Jin still doubted about them.

"Please Joon it is not a big deal....Okay!"

"Do you not trust me?" Joon asked in a small voice.

At this Jin's head snapped up to see Joon. Hurt pretty evident in other's eyes.

"Tell me Jin do you not trust me?"

"I-I....please Joon stop this I am tired I want to sleep. As for your mom please tell her that I was busy or something." he turned and laid on the bed covering himself with a blanket.

This wasn't their first argument. The world thought them to be a perfect cliché couple but no it wasn't like that. Jin was difficult to understand and never spoke much. But when he spoke it was either bland truth that would hurt you or help you. He also couldn't show much emotions like Tae cause of his mature-for-his-age upbringing. Namjoon had no problem with this but the fights always ended with him getting hurt but he would never say a thing and try to reconcile peacefully.

Today wasn't that day. Joon had hit the rock bottom. He gave everything to this relationship but he was always a loser. A tear ran down his face. Sighing he just walked towards the bed.

Jin thought it would be ok like always and Joon would come to bed but no, he didn't tonight. The other just took the pillow and walked out of the room. Jin waited for the bed beside him to sink but that never happened. Opening his eyes he saw he was alone in the room. But he didn't mind at all and fell asleep.

The next morning he woke up to  find Joon's side of the bed empty. He walked out of their bedroom and into the house to find that the other had already left. He called him but no one picked up. Time passed and he slowly sat analysing about what had happened yesterday.

He knew he hurt Joon really bad this time and wanted to make up. So he decided to cook his favorite dishes for Joon and his mom. Eventually it was evening but there was still no sign of the other. Now Jin was scared. All his calls and texts were unanswered. He was scared as to if Joon was fine or not. Seeing no other option he called one of the office staff to only know that Joon had booked a table at some expensive restaurant. Getting the details he dressed up to go there.

Reaching there he found his man sitting with a lady in glasses. It was no puzzle that she was his mom. They looked so similar. Walking towards them he stopped at their table-

"Hello Joon! Hello mam!" he bowed and greeted.

"Oh my god Jin you are here. This pabo here said you couldn't come." his mom said with so much joy.

"I am sorry mam but the work got over soon." Jin answered with a small smile.

"I am so happy dear. C'mon grab a chair too."

Jin looked towards Joon for any reaction but got nothing. The dinner continued with Jin and the lady interacting. He was talking to her but his eyes never left Joon. The other didn't look at him or spoke to him even once. Jin finally understood how the other must feel for he frankly wanted to cry. After the dinner got over, Mrs. Kim excused herself saying she has to meet her friend and left the couple.

Joon didn't bother either and started walking towards his car. Jin couldn't help but race after him. He tried stopping him but in vain. Finally he pulled him by his right arm.

"WHAT!" the other spat.

"I am sorry baby...."

"I am not in the mood now Seokjin. Just get in the car."

"Please Joonie I am sorry. I didn't want to hurt you. I just...."

"You just what?"

"I just....I have my reasons please!"

"Then keep those reasons to yourself for eternity. I don't even know why you came. It would be easier to break up if my mom had not seen you."

At his words Jin couldn't help but start crying. Hugging Namjoon tightly he spoke-

"Please Joonie I am sorry please please please don't leave me.....you love me right?"

"Funny thing is I do but do you love me cause it really doesn't look like it. Even after all this time you don't trust me."

"I trust you! I really do it just that my past stops me from doing certain things. I am sorry please. I really love you Kim Namjoon!"

Joon was angry but he couldn't be much angry when he sees his baby crying. He felt weak and couldn't help but hug Jin back. The other still sobbing in the crook of his neck as he gently rubbed his back. After calming down they started their car.

As they drove Jin spoke.

"My first boyfriend was rich like you. We loved each other a lot and whole of Daegu knew about us. I was so happy you know but it didn't last." Jin stopped speaking, staring at his fingers.

Joon looked towards this other wiping the tear from Jin's cheek with his free hand.

"One day he took me to meet his parents. They were good but only before their son. Behind him they would abuse me verbally calling me a gold digger whore and greedy slut." Jin started crying saying this.

"They even threatened to beat my family up. I couldn't help but break up. After this I suddenly became the villain who broke a gentleman's heart. I couldn't even say a thing but Tae somehow understood and immediately went to my boyfriend's house and bet him badly. He was in jail for two days..........It is not you Joon but the fact that you are so much like him that I am scared my future will be like my past too. But I guess I can be wrong."

Joon heard it all. He couldn't stop but pull Jin into a bone crushing hug.

"Never in a million years will this happen love. I love you so much I could probably go against my family for you-"

"Please don't" Jin interrupted.

"This is why I love you Kim Seokjin. Cause of who you are and my family loves you too. They even asked when we are getting married."

Jin finally smiled. "Really?"

"Yes really!" the other returned the soft smile.

They stared at each other before finally closing the gap between them with gentle yet passionate kiss.
