The Diary

•36•

they were soon done there, yoongi not wanting to stay, and jin was honestly relieved.

yoongi didnt press charges, seeing as he did the more damage, and he just wanted to get away from his brother. Run away like he should've done before.

"well" namjoon says clapping his hand, "lets go eat!" he states with a smile, jin smiles at the boy and nods.

namjoon looks over at yoongi, "you in?".

yoongi laugh and nods, "im always in for free food.".

they all laugh in return and start to walk again.

but namjoon pauses for a sec, "wait- free!?"
——————————––————————————

namjoon took this outing to not only get some bomb ass food, but to help jin.

"here we are" namjoon states excitedly.

jin looks away from yoongi, who was telling stories of some weird ass parties he visited, to be met with a very familiar restaurant.

the old ladies restaurant.

it was about 8 pm at the moment, "is it even open? lets just go to the food trucks down there" jin says while seemingly pushing the boys to the end of the street.

"what are you talking about? the doors are wide open" yoongi says stopping, he also recognized the restaurant, he frequented it, a few times, and knowingly knew jin used to work there, and wondered why the boy wouldn't just go in.

namjoon stops too, turning around and making his way into the modest resturant, yoongi following after. he stood there for a few moments, contemplating entering.

"welcome back boys" the old lady states walking over to the boys, "table for two?" she questions.

"3, one will be arriving soon, hopefully" he mutters the last thing under his breath before the lady leads them to a nice little table, it was wooden, and had a bit of wear to it, but nonetheless, homey.

"aish" jin states before giving up and jut waking in, he spotted the boys in the back, it wasnt too crowded, just 4 other table occupied, one a big group, the others seemingky couples. it was late after all.

he grows the courage to walk to the back, before he walks up he can here her passing out the menus. namjoon looks up making eye contact with the other, his dimples shown with the new smile spreading across his features. it was reassuring.

"about time you join us" he says to the elder.

the old lady turns around to see the added person, getting ready to hand over a menu but freezing.

"s-seokjin?" she then smiles and immediately going in for a hug, "so glad you're okay!".

she then releases from the hold and smack his in the head with a menu, jin hissing from pain.

"but dont disappear like that again, boy" warning evident in her voice.

"don't worry, i won't" he says while chuckling and taking a seat.

the dinner was filled with catching up, and them trying to figure out what to do next.

"just stay at my house" namjoon says as they exit the place, seeing as its closing time, "i have an extra room"

"thanks" yoongi says, "its late and i have to call my parents early tomorrow, unless he's already called them, but i highly doubt it" he say while going to the edge of the streets.

namjoon nods in agreement, joining yoongi at the edge of the sidewalk.

"well, bye guys, im just going to walk home" jin waves before turning around and starting his 15 minute walk home.

"stupid boy, its chilly and he has no coat" namjoon says while haking his head, but soon focuing his attention on the car pulling up.

"what are you doing?" yoongi asks staring at the taller.

"going home?"

"no you idiot" yoongi says slapping the boy in the forehead, "go with him!" yoongi says pointing down he street at jin, namjoon just stares back confused.

"oh.....OH, WAIT JIN!" namjoon runs after the elder, seeing him stop.

He soon catches up, out of breath, "you literally ran down the street" jin says laughing.

"im a literature major, not a fucking athlete" namjoon replies, trying to defend himself, but ending up chuckling too.

they walked in silence for a moment, the only sounds being the passing cars and the people on the street, seemingly heading to various parties.

"Do you remember that part of one of my diary entries, where I talked about Yoongi stopping by with all of his friends?- well your friends too, I guess" Jin asks, disrupting the silence, still looking at the streets in front of him.

Namjoon thought for a moment, "yeah, that was the first time you talked about... jimin"

Jin looks over at him confused, "jimin?"

"Yeah, book boy"

Jin breaks out into laughter, "is that why- why- you asked if I liked him?" He asked, still laughing hard.

"What? Is it not jimin?" Namjoon asks confused.

"Obviously not, idiot" Jin says regaining his composure.

"Who is it then, Hoseok?"

"No, Namjoon. book boy was you."
