Namjoon's POV
I was pacing the floor. I hadn't heard from Dallas all day and Jin called this morning after she left to tell me she was leaving. It was now almost 2 in the morning and she wasn't home yet. I was about to go out and look for her when I heard the door open. I came out of the bedroom to see her throwing her bag down and rubbing her eyes tiredly. She stopped in her tracks when she looked up and saw me standing there.
"Don't start Namjoon, I'm exhausted," she waved me off tiredly. I stormed over to stand closer to her.
"Don't start?! DON'T START?! Where the hell have you been all day Dallas?!" I yelled. She rolled her eyes at me and brushed by me and went to the fridge to grab a water bottle. She took a swig and gulped it down before turning back to me.
"I was at work, you should have figured that out," she shot back at me. I felt my blood boil. I've argued this with her a hundred times by now but she has obviously ignored me. She didn't see the danger I saw, she didn't realize I couldn't lose her,
"I thought we talked about this..." I said gritting my teeth and trying to contain my anger. She let out an angry chuckle.
"You talked Joon, but apparently you can't listen. I told you I wasn't giving up my job. I've FINALLY found a job that allows me to make a REAL change in the world!" She snapped back. I turned around and ran my hands through my hair and let out a groan.
"When Jin called and told me you'd left this morning I thought you'd be coming right home! You've been gone ALL DAY. I've been worried out of my mind! Do you understand that?!" I questioned her. She didn't respond immediately. Her face was reading me, she was mulling over my words. Her eyes were guarded.
The change in her demeanor was subtle but sudden. She took a step back, her hands clenched into fists at her sides, and her eyes grew watery.
"Why did Jin call you?" She whispered. I realized then my mistake. I stepped back but she took two steps forward. "Why would he call you? I didn't tell him I was even staying with you. How did he know?" She asked.
"Because he's been told to inform me of anything that happens," I told her. Tears leaked down her face.
"Why is that?" She continued on.
"I'm the leader of the group," I answered. I couldn't lie to her anymore. She'd already figured it out anyway, there's no use for me to keep up the lie.
"So your normal every day job is leading a group of mercenaries?! Aren't WE just the most hypocritical person in the room today?!" She yelled. I flinched at her voice. Her face was getting red and her eyes were shooting daggers at me. "So this whole time you've been leading a group of guys that have been doing the EXACT THING you have been trying to keep me from doing?! You are so ridiculous Namjoon! I can't even believe this! You LIED to me!" She screamed. She stormed down the hall toward the bedroom. I didn't follow her, I figured she just needed space.
Within ten minutes she stormed back out with a bag slung over her shoulder. She'd wiped the tears off her face, and now she just looked ready to murder. She was looking at me with a look I'd always seen but had never been on the receiving end of, she was looking at me with new eyes.
"I should've known. Nobody is ever there for you 100%. Thank you for letting me stay here Joon. My stay is over," she said calmly while walking to to door. She turned to look at me right before walking out the door. "We are over too," she whispered. Then she was gone.
An hour later I received a text.
Yoongi
She's here. Don't worry. We'll watch over her.
