The Royals [Completed]

22 | You Keep Coming Back

"Seokjin!"

Namjoon was startled to see his senior on stairs, and looked around to make sure no one was there before he made his way to the former. "What are you doing here?" He asked wide eyed.

"I'm here to see you," Jin replied, and leaned in to kiss his cheek, but Namjoon turned away, and cleared his throat. "What is the problem big guy?" He narrowed his eyes.

"My family is here today." Namjoon stepped back from him. "I don't want anyone to see-"

"That you're kissing a guy?" Jin asked rather sarcastically. "Why? Your family is not supportive of your sexuality?"

Namjoon couldn't meet his eyes. "They don't have to think about it, you know. Their son is perfectly fine, and straight. I just kissed you back because I was exploring. I'm not a faggot." The last sentence was said in a hushed whisper, and Jin scoffed.

"Wow!" Jin clapped his shoulder. "Just wow! Why don't you do something then, asshole? Go and explore some pussy instead of the faggot's mouth. Because I'm sure as hell not straight."

"Come on!" Namjoon silenced him with a look. "Do not speak so carelessly. Anyone can hear you here."

"Again, I don't care." Jin shrugged, and the latter bit his lip, struggling to keep himself in check, and convinced enough to stay away from the former. The senior boy could his struggle, and decided to take it slow. "Let's meet your parents. I swear I'll try to stay civil."

Namjoon was doubtful, but he didn't want to fight Jin, so he nodded, and went downstairs to the open grounds where everyone was gathered. Jin followed him silently as his own parents were not there, he was waving at everyone and everything in his way. Namjoon's mother was delighted to see her son after months as she embraced him as soon as he was around her reach.

"My my, my lovely son. You look handsome as ever," She praised, and his cheeks turned red. His mother was a lovely woman. His eyes roamed to see his father, but his mother told him, "Your father had to attend business today, and you know how uncertain the timings were, so he couldn't come, but he sent you his best regards."

"Of course." He nodded. Glancing over his shoulder, he saw Jin standing there rather colly, not a sign of awkwardness in the air for his side. "Mamma, meet Seokjin. He's my friend and a very dear senior."

"Oh! Hello son," she said affectionately, and went to shake his hands. "Please look after our Namjoon. We're always grateful."

"Of course, Mrs Kim." Jin as always smiled gently, but his face hardened when saw a girl coming to Namjoon, and with the way she hugged him and blushed around his presence, he made it out her role in the life of former very quickly. Mrs Kim followed his gaze, and saw the girl, "Hwasa! My dear child. Jin, meet my dear, Hwasa. She's Namjoon's friend since forever."

Hwasa bowed to Jin. "Thank you for taking care of Joonie."

"Yeah."

"We've always wanted these two to be together," Mrs Kim whispered to Jin, but didn't notice the resentment his eyes shown at the information. "Don't you think they look good together?"

Jin watched Namjoon, and how the boy pinched her cheek, and placed his arm around her shoulder, she looked comfortable in his embrace as well, so he smiled, and said, "Of course. They look very beautiful together. Excuse me." He nodded his head, and walked away from the family.

Irene was putting refreshments in the plate, when she felt a presence beside her. Lifting her head, her heart dipped as her eyes meet Suho's. "Hi," the latter smiled gently. "How are you?" he asked, and she cleared her throat.

"I'm very much fine, how are you?"

He noticed how she avoided his eyes, and felt uncomfortable, "I'm good. Holidays are coming soon, you must be excited." He bought a bottle of water, and walked with her as she hung her head low. "So, I was thinking, Irene that maybe during holidays you will like to-"

"Jin sunbae!" Irene gave the plate to her mother, and went to Jin. "Did you see Suho? come on," she muttered, and pulled him to the former, who seemed confused of her behaviour.

"Hi," Jin greeted him politely, and Suho did a handshake with him before turning to Irene, who had her arm wrapped around former's elbow. "Where is Hera?"

"Oh! She just went to freshen up-she's here," Suho waved at his sister as she came to him, and bowed to Jin.

"Sunbae, come on, I'll introduce to my parents," Irene nodded at Suho and Hera, and dragged Jin away from there. Suho seemed confused, but soon realized what her problem was as soon as he watched her mother's delighted with Jin's introduction. She was choosing a rich man over him. Just perfect. He must've misinterpreted her shyness and kindness towards him.

"Hello Hera."

Jimin wrapped an arm around her shoulder, and nodded at Suho. "You must be her brother. I'm her classmate and a very good friend, Jimin."

But, Suho seemed absent from the situation as he merely nodded, and excused himself to go to washroom. As soon as he left, she looked up at him, "What the hell, Jim?"

"Sana is following me around, and if someone noticed her weird behaviour, I'll be dead in a few minutes."

"You And Sana-"

"No. Never happening."

"What is going on here?" Baekhyun entered the scene, and Hera stiffened. She gulped, and glanced over his shoulder to Taehyung, who was busy talking to Joy. "Jimin, get your hands off her shoulder."

"I won't," Jimin pulled her closer to him, and smirked. "What are you going to do about it?"

"Jimin-"

"Baekhyun," Joy took a hold of his arm, and smiled at Hera, "Let's not create a scene here. Okay? Everyone is watching."

"You know what? Let's create a scene," Baekhyun gritted out, and turned to Joy, but something else caught his attention. Taehyung. "Can someone explain to me why Taehyung and Lisa is kissing in the centre of the ground?" he frowned.

Joy turned around sharply, and felt her eyes widened as she watched Lisa's arms around Taehyung, and how she was kissing him, and worst thing was: He was kissing her back.

Hera also looked shocked, and stepped more close to Jimin when Baekhyun glared at her; he tried to grab her hand, but she didn't let him, instead she walked away with Jimin.

Jungkook stared at the scene, and swallowed hard. His eyes watched like a hawk as Taehyung's eyes smiled down at Lisa, and how they both looked lovey dovey. For fuck's sake, the girl was just in his arms a few minutes ago. Here he thought that maybe she was different, that maybe he should just give up this whole plan of revenge, that maybe there was more into the matter to what he thought it was. But, he was proven wrong yet again. How foolish he had been.

"Yes, I'll explain everything to him ma'am."

Soojin was standing nearby him, talking on the phone, and he huffed as he cranked his neck, and sighed. Time to have his plan in action, or continue his plan to have revenge on these bunch of fools. He walked towards Soojin, who hung up the call, and stared at Taehyung briefly before sensing his presence.

"Yes?" she raised her brows, and he smiled.

"Hello there."
