The next day passed in blur of activities.Namjoon got everything he needed from the post and now he was heading with Seokjin into a store to buy matching suits for them .
It was quiet in the car as Seokjin drives him ,he had caught the Omega glancing at him from time to time .
The air was filled with awkward tension as nobody says a word .
When a particular song comes up ,they both reach to turn the volume ,causing their hands to brush against each other .
Seokjin looks up with wide eyes , pulling his hand away shyly and focuses back on the road .He lets Namjoon turn it up ,smiling softly "It's my favourite song"
They end up saying at the same time again .
Namjoon turns to him sheepishly "Didn't took you for someone who likes country music"
"Why ? Can't I ?"
The Omega wasn't looking at him but he could feel the latter shrug a response "It's too old school for some people"
"Well , it's peaceful for me .And who decides what genre belongs to which generation? For me,I think one should listen to whatever brings them peace and joy"
He slows down at the signal, stopping completely when it turns red
Namjoon was staring at him in wonder when he meets the latter's gaze . Seokjin sputters,ears turning red "What are you looking at ?"
"You"
The Alpha answers,grinning shamelessly
"Tch,flirt.Save these skills when we reach Jeju.Jimin is going to catch up on our lie anyway but I hope my rest of the family buys it"
Seokjin chuckles,turning back his attention to the road because a certain Alpha was trying to make him loose his mind.
Namjoon was handsome,too handsome for his poor heart to function properly.He is so used to act reckless ,he is afraid he will cross limits.
They might eventually,his mind unhelpfully provides .His grip tightens on the wheel when Namjoon purs ,close to his ear "I will make sure they do ,darling"
The Alpha pulls away as if nothing happened and asks innocently "So this brother of yours "
Seokjin nods , silently cursing at how quickly his heart picks pace at the Alpha's subtle flirting .He has been calling him nicknames, extremely sweet nicknames under the excuse of making their relationship appear aged and comfortable
He was right though, Seokjin couldn't disagree.He wasn't worried about his father,but his mother will definitely pick up something if they fail to ace their act
"He is a dancer right ? I don't want to be nosy but how did you two choose the opposite careers ?"
"Simple.Because we both do what we love.Our parents initially had different plans for us ,but we chose to follow our hearts.Eventually ,they made peace with it as long as we were successful in what we do"
Namjoon hums "Sounds fair.Taehyung followed my footsteps and joined -"
Shit.Namjoon almost exposed his identity "Sales"
He repeats , clearing his throat "We both work in sales"
"Yes,you told me . It's Ji sung Enterprises right ?"
The Alpha nods "Yes .That"
"Cool"
There was a lull in their conversation and Namjoon thought this was it .He sighs in relief when Seokjin doesn't pry more about his fake job .He feels guilty to lie to the Omega, something that he had never felt in all his service.He had changed identities countless times
Before Namjoon could start another conversation,they were driving into the parking lot of Monsieur Brunold.
His spine freezes when Seokjin casually speaks up ,unbuckling his seatbelt
"To be honest ,when I first saw you ,I thought you could be anything but a sales manager"
The Omega had no idea how Namjoon was holding onto the seatbelt tightly as he asks ,nerves shaking "Then ?"
"I took you for a cop or something"
Seokjin giggles ,twisting the door handle "Especially when you raised your hands in surrender"
Namjoon feels his breath stuck in his chest "Oh Is that so ? But isn't that something cops ask to do others?"
Seokjin shrugs "It's just what I thought .I was drunk ,sue me"
The Alpha remained in his seat for a long time until Seokjin knocks on the window and shouts "Come on ,we are getting late"
He sighs ,taking a deep breath . Seokjin was just joking ,he doesn't know that Namjoon is an actual cop
They step into the shop and Seokjin groans in delight over all the suits lined up ,asking Namjoon to try few because they all looked authentic and made for Namjoon
"Just to remind you ,we are actually here to shop for both"
The Alpha chuckles when few sets of suits were thrusted into his hands by a very eager Omega
"I know.But let's just start with you okay .I need to cool down my anxiety.I am shopping for my brother's wedding!"
Seokjin clutches his heart dramatically "Oh dear ,is this how Jimin felt when he was finalising his wedding suit ?"
Namjoon snorts ,shaking his head "I will just try these out"
Seokjin shots him a thumbs up "You will rock them all"
As expected,the suits fitted Namjoon well and Seokjin had hard time as he watched the Alpha parade into different outfits ,each more spectacular and tight fitting which had him drooling and shifting in his seat
And Namjoon was well aware of it as he flaunts and struts into the suit ,trying to get a reaction from the Omega
It was all fun until their roles reversed and Seokjin was the one trying on the suits. Namjoon swears he never had a strong urge to jump on some one like he felt doing it with Seokjin.
The drive back home was filled with silence but it wasn't uncomfortable.
Namjoon knew the effect he had on the Omega and it should have been infuriating for Seokjin but it wasnt .
Seokjin was confused about his feelings towards Namjoon.He was just a stranger,helping him .So why was his heart refusing to understand that simple thing .He believes it's all Namjoon's charm and his scent ! The Omega was addicted to it
Namjoon was on his mind even when he was readying himself for bed .None of them had packed so it was better if they called an early night and finish their packing
As he fluffs the pillow, getting onto the bed ,he catches a whiff of Namjoon's scent on his lips since the Alpha kissed him a steamy good night before retiring to his room .A small smile graces his lips and he shakes his head before drifting off to sleep
The shrill voice of alarm annoys Namjoon and he slaps his phone to shut off the noise .He shoots his eyes open to glare when his alarm goes off again ,only to realise why did he set it so early in the first place
Today ,he was leaving for Jeju with Seokjin.
"Shit"
He sits up , rubbing his eyes .A wafting scent of pancakes hits his nose and he throws off the covers and slids out of the bed .His steps halted when he hears his phone ring and he sighs , picking it up
"Hey ,Tae.Good Morning"
He pulls his phone away when his brother responds with a series of loud and inappropriate curses
"Hey,hey .Cursing is bad for the baby"
Namjoon chuckles when Taehyung asks about his well being (after cursing him some more) ,his earlier anger diffusing
"I am good,Tae.No troubles at all"
'Well why would you be in any trouble.Honey mentioned about that Omega you are living with'
Namjoon smiles at the teasing tone "Well ,you are not wrong there"
'Stay out of troubles ,big bro . Especially when it comes to the Omega'
The Alpha picks out the clothes from his suitcase "I won't promise anything,Tae . Especially since I know how turned on
he gets just from my kiss"
'Eww.Hyung ,you didn't have to tell me that'
Taehyung groans
Namjoon breaks into a laugh "I will talk to you soon,Tae"
'Do not bang the pretty Omega'
"No promises"
The Alpha replies cheekily before hanging up
The sweet smell of pancakes rolls out in waves when Namjoon steps into the living room
He finds the Omega in the kitchen ,flipping pancakes ,his back to him
Namjoon's nose gets stuff with all the sweetness around but it wasn't enough to cover the sour scent emitting from Seokjin
"You are stress cooking"
The Alpha balks in disbelief,eyeing the stacks upon stacks of pancakes lying on the counter.He eyes the new batter in disbelief "You didn't mentioned about the wedding shifting to your house"
His sarcasm went on deaf ears as Seokjin pulls out the tray of freshed baked cookies from the oven
"Oh dear god.Jin ,why have you cooked so much ? Last I checked,we are leaving in two hours.And I am not a devil"
Seokjin grabs the plate from the cupboard amd turns around to squeak"Oh ! You are up"
He clutches the plate and mumbles "Morning"
"A very good Morning to you too"
Namjoon huffs ,"So you weren't listening to me at all were you ?"
The Omega bats his lashes innocently "You were here since?"
"Long enough to draw million conclusions over why you have prepared these many pancakes"
Namjoon pushes himself off the counter and walks to the stove,turning it off "Are we having a feast with hundred others ?"
Seokjin,who was pretty much stressed about how he will face his family with a fake boyfriend,deadpans with a glare "I was trying to be a good and grateful host"
No,he was stress cooking
"But if you are not going to appreciate it ,forget it"
He swats Namjoon's hands that were reaching for the pancake
"Jin"
The Alpha whines ,making grabby hands "I wasn't much hungry until I saw those delicious little pancakes.Gimme some ,please.I can tell ,you have hands of gold"
Seokjin flames , momentarily swooned by the compliment but composes himself quickly "I don't think honey words are going to work on me"
"Then will calling you honey work?"
Namjoon cocks his brow,tilting his head
The Omega stomps on his foot "I have set the coffee on the table .Drink it as I bring these on the table"
When Seokjin was done with putting all the plates into sink ,he joins Namjoon at the table.The Alpha was waiting like a puppy for him ,the pancakes untouched . Although his chocolate smeared fingers busted him .
"Why didn't you started ?"
Seokjin asks ,taking a seat beside him and starts filling his plates .
"Was waiting for you"
Namjoon grins ,stuffing his mouth
"Tch,doofus"
Seokjin shakes his head ,cutting the pancake into small pieces
"But these are effin good .Like too good"
Namjoon swallows down with a gulp of coffee "You should have been a chef for real"
He stacks another set of pancakes on his plate shamelessly and spears into one ,smacking his lips "But why did you go through all this hassle ? We could have grabbed something on our way"
Seokjin looks up with a fork in his hand .He points it at Namjoon "I wanted to have a home cooked meal before I leave.Besides,I had to anyway bake cookies for Jimin.That punk had the audacity to call me in the middle of night and demand cookies "
He scoffs ,dribbling more honey on his pancake
"But you made them anyway"
Namjoon shrugs ,glancing at the tray "A lot" He smiles softly "Because you love him"
Seokjin doesn't disagree,"I do .And that's why I can't fuck up his wedding, Namjoon"
He looks up with glassy eyes "Thanks for helping me"
The Alpha flashes a kind smile "I am more than happy to help you"
"But I feel guilty for not paying you for this.I am wasting your precious time"
Seokjin furrows his brows "If at any point ,you feel like asking for a paycheck ,please don't hesitate"
Namjoon clutches his chest,wailing dramatically "You wound me ,Jin"
"I am serious"
Seokjin huffs "It feels like I am taking your advantage"
"Well,in that case,let me tell you" Namjoon puffs his chest , knocking it "You can take all the advantage you want .I am all yours for next seven days"
When Seokjin doesn't react with a funny retort , Namjoon deflates "Look,you are already covering all my travel and living expenses" he motions to the plate "You even served me the best breakfast of my lifetime.Also ,free trip to Jeju ! If anyone, it's me who is taking advantage.Not to forget that I get to stand next to a handsome Omega like you"
He chuckles when Namjoon cups his cheeks "Sheesh,my face is all hot .The reality is finally hitting me ,Jin.I am going to be the stud hot Alpha boyfriend of a stunning and spicy hot Omega"
Seokjin chokes on his lime juice and stares with wide eyes at the Alpha.
Namjoon simply raises his hand in surrender "I said what I said"
"You are a brat"
The Omega huffs,his ears reddening
"That came out of nowhere but agreed"
Namjoon grins "Now ,tell me.What the hell are we supposed to do of all the pancakes ?"
"What is that supposed to mean ?"
Seokjin frowns
"Um,I am full .So don't expect me to polish all those plates clean .Nuh huh"
Namjoon shakes his head
"Why do you think I won't be finishing them all ? "
"You are joking"
Namjoon stares at him in disbelief "No way you are going to eat all these .Come on ,just agree that you were stress cooking and now you are regretting the aftermath"
"Watch me"
Seokjin glares at him in challenge
And thus , Namjoon watches the jaw droping series of Seokjin eating all the pancakes .All of them
"Stubborn Omega"
Namjoon comments when he finds Seokjin struggling with the last piece
"Bratty Alpha"
The Omega retorts as Namjoon steals the last piece and gobbles it up
"Is everything okay ?"
Seokjin thought that everything was going as planned when they were done with the final checks of their packed bags and had dragged them out in the passage .
Their flight was departing in few hours and just when they were about to leave the house , Namjoon's phone rang
The Alpha had let it rang for the first two times but then it seemed like it wasn't something that could be ignored.
He picked it up ,moving away from the Omega while Seokjin makes sure the door is locked and he wasn't missing any bag
He was so sure everything was going according to the plan until Namjoon approaches him with a somber face
"What's wrong ?"
Seokjin hates how scared his voice sounds.His anxiety level was increasing,the longer Namjoon kept staring at him with pursed lips
"Uh, there's a slight change in the plan"
Seokjin's heart drops to his stomach and suddenly he feels that he is going to empty all his breakfast.
"What do you mean?"
He was panicking , approaching the Alpha on unsteady steps "Namjoon,if this is about the money-"
"I told you I don't need your money" Namjoon's gaze hardens as he grabs Seokjin's shoulders.They had started to shake and Namjoon hated how the situation had turned
He sighs ,closing his eyes .When he opens them ,he was looking at a very glassy eyed Seokjin who was on the verge of crying.
This wedding was important to him.Namjoon had assured him that nothing will go wrong .And now ,he was going to chip in uncertainty to his whole promise
"Jin,I just received a call from my friend.He needs something to be mailed to him at soonest because I will leave for Jeju and then he will have to come all over from Japan just to get it"
He explains his fake story to the Omega calmly and with confidence.
When in reality,he had received a call from their team who have few assumptions and a possible suspect's entire profile.Surely , Namjoon can have it mailed but there are few more things he can't disclose or discuss on phone.
"So shall I cancel the flight ? We can book the next one"
Seokjin sniffs, staring at him with wide but understanding eyes
Namjoon feels his heart go crazy and he pulls the Omega into a deep ,unsearing kiss ,earning a squeak of surprise from the latter
He pulls away , kissing his forehead "No baby,we will board the same flight .All I was going to say was ,I will join you straight at the Airport "
Seokjin makes a small noise in the back of his throat.He wanted to ask Namjoon to take him wherever he was going . They can both leave together .But it sounded too bizarre.He has no business asking that of the Alpha apart from trusting Namjoon that he will come to Airport on time
"You will right?"
Still he asks, uncertainty lacing his words
Namjoon sighs, squeezing his hand "I promised you, didn't I? Trust me"
He could have said something better,but he was running out of time.The sooner he leaves ,the quicker he can reach the Airport
"Okay"
Seokjin nods,watching Namjoon rush with his luggage towards the Elevator.
A/N : Namjoon better not be late
