VENGEANCE

22. Nothing

"Hyungie, wait a minute. I wanna say something before you get off the bed" Jackson said. "What?" Namjoon asked. 

"I know Yoongi hyung has gone crazy, but I also know how close you both were. I also know that you are running away from him because he killed his girlfriend and is after you now. But you and Yoongi hyung loved each other and that love won't go anywhere. 

It's like fate that he is working together with you. So please try to sort it out with him. Whatever it is. It is scary, I know. But please don't forget how much you loved each other" Jackson said, getting up from Namjoon's bed and reaching towards the drawer. 

He pulled out a thick album containing pictures of Namjoon, Yoongi and Jackson from their childhood. "Throw this on his face if he doesn't listen to you. Stuff it under his nose and force him to look into it. But let him remember the old days" he said. 

Namjoon sat and stared at the album with tears in his eyes, remembering the good old days. He looked up at his brother and smiled at him. He nodded and got up. "I'll get going, then" he said. 

"Won't you have breakfast?" Jackson asked. "No no. I guess my friends are already waiting for me. I'll come again some other time. Take care" Namjoon said, kissing Jackson's forehead before picking up the album. 

He greeted Mr. and Mrs. Bang in the kitchen and left for Taehyung's house.

"Hyung, I thought about it. Shall we go back to Seoul and talk it all out together with Yoongi hyung as well?" Jimin asked. "Sounds good. Let's do that. Let's not mention anything to Namjoon right now" Jin said. 

"Taehyung-ah, go and inform your mother that we will be leaving right after Namjoon comes back. Let's just go and pack our bags" Hoseok said. "Okay" Taehyung said and went to the kitchen while the others went to pack their bags. 

"Taehyung?....Mrs. Kim?......" Namjoon called out from outside. "Ahh, hyung! Come on! Go and pack your bag, we are going back to Seoul. Jin hyung has some emergency" Taehyung said, dragging Namjoon inside. 

"What happened? Is everything alright?" Namjoon asked as Taehyung harshly dragged him into his room. "Yeah, looks like everything is fine" Taehyung said, roughly pushing Namjoon into his room and locking the door behind him. 

"Where were you?" Jin asked, staring daggers at Namjoon. "An old friend's house" Namjoon said, without meeting any of their eyes. Jin sighed loudly. "I wish you would stop lying to us" he said and continued packing his bag. 

"What do you mean by that?" Namjoon asked. Jin looked up at Namjoon and stared at him for a while before saying "Nothing" and going back to his packing. 

"What is the emergency? What happened?" Namjoon asked. "We'll explain later. Now just pack. What's that you are holding?" Hoseok said. "Nothing" Namjoon said, roughly jerking the album out of others' reach and putting it in his bag. 

"Why are you hiding it if it is nothing?" Jungkook asked. Namjoon frowned at Jungkook before shaking his head and packing his bag as if he heard nothing. All of them sighed as they zipped their bags and stood up, ready to go back home. 

"Namjoon, come to the cafe in the afternoon, okay? At 3. Sharp. I don't want you to be late" Jin said after reaching their apartment. "Okay. Bye, guys" Namjoon said and got into his flat. Jin and Hoseok looked at each other. "You call Yoongi" Jin said. "Okaiie. Bye" Hoseok said and left. 

Jin took a shower and had some food before going out to get the pictures printed. He wanted everything to be perfect. He wanted to get to the bottom of this business. Whatever it was, it was starting to smell. He sighed and called his girlfriend to relieve some of his stress. 

"Hello? Jagiya!" Sana exclaimed. "Hey, baby. I'm stressed. Say something" Jin said as he walked out of the printer shop.
