The song is Lee Seokjin's and Namjoon’s  ost, so I'll be putting it when it comes up for ambiance.

Namjoon is washing the last glass before taking a lunch break.

His co-worker is already sitting at a table eating his chicken sandwich.

The older turns the water on and lets it roll down the cup, so as to take off the remaining soap.

Right after he shakes it, he turns off the water.

He takes a towel and dries it.

"Joon, you haven't seen Lee Jr. right?" Changbin asks.

The bar is practically empty except for both of them and Jackson in the kitchen.

"I already told you that I don't know him Binnie, it's possible that I just didn't know it was him." Namjoon retorts while leaving the counter, salmon sandwich in his hand.

"Trust me Joon, one can not simply oversee Lee Jr." Changbin exclaims taking another bite of his rather big sandwich.

Namjoon rolls his eyes, taking a bite of his own lunch.

"Oh I fowgot to wefill the beew." Namjoon says with a full mouth.

He stands up and goes to fetch the drink at the storage room.

Changbin simply shakes is head.

I know, I know ... I'm always forgetting stuff.

Namjoon sighs. Somethings he just couldn't change.

He gets back entering the counter once again. The older opens the machine and inserts the tub, pressing to fill the beer server.

"Do you believe in soulmates, Namjoon?" Changbin asks, taking a sip of his cola.

"I believed once ... but then he was ripped from me and since then ... I don't want to believe in such cruelty." Namjoon retorts leaving the machine to be filled.

While waiting he turns around to prepare some glasses during the meantime.

"You never told me the full story." Changbin exclaims in a rather sensitive and sad tone.

Namjoon hasn't told the whole truth to anyone. Not even his brother.

He mentioned many things about his phantasy world, but left many things unsaid since only thinking about them brought the older an enormous anguish.

"I'm sorry Binnie ... I hope you understand that it's not easy for me." Namjoon explains reaching for the machine again, removing the tube from the beer server.

"It's okay I-" Changbin is cut midsentence by something.

Focused on the task he had in front him, he doesn't hear the bell ringing nor Changbin's wide eyes and open mouth.

A black-haired approaches the counter, still unnoticed by the older.

"Uhm ... are you Jackson Wang?"

Namjoon surprisingly lifts his head and is met with chocolate brown eyes.

Oh my God .....

He is left speechless. The taller just stands there, mouth wide open, staring at the other male.

"I'm Mr. Lee Seokjin the worker that applied the work as a cook."

The familiar faced bows and doesn't lift his head until Namjoon asks him to.

"No ... no need ... to be ... formal. I'm not Jackson, I'm his ... uhm ... worker Kim Namjoon. " The taller stutters still not believing his vision.

Lee Jr finally lifts his head and looks at him, lips parted

The other's salmon puffy lips.

His pale skin.

His black straight hair.

His pleading eyes.

His blushing cheeks.

His everything ....

Jinnie .... my Jinnie

"Nice to meet you Mr. Kim, I'm looking forward to working with you, sir." He bows again leaving Namjoon incredulous.

soulmates do exist in this world...

"Mr. Kim is Mr. Wang working today?" The younger asks smile on his face.

Jinnie's smile

Changbin stands up and joins the two.

"He's in the kitchen, why don't you go fetch him Joon?" Changbin exclaims, smirking lightly at the younger, making him avert his gaze and put some hair behind his ear.

Namjoon is shaking, but tries to hold it in.

Not in front of them.

" I ... I'll ... I'll go ... ge ... get ... h ... him." The taller is sweating incontrolably, stuttering like all those years ago when he woke up.

He turns around and leaves the counter as fast as he can.

Namjoon opens the kitchen's door and only waits for it to close to break down completely.

He falls to his knees, holding himself on all fours.

His breath is unsteady.

I'm starting to hyperventilate

Namjoon tries to concentrate on something else, anything.

He closes his eyes and clutches on to his uniform with his right hand.

It hurts!

Tears start to fall through his closed eyes, wetting his cheeks.

"Hey, hey, hey what's going on?" A voice asks.

Namjoon can't open his eyes, the sorrow is to enormous. All memories are coming back, taking his breath away.

Caught up on his throat, asphyxiating him.

His breathing hitches. The more he inhaled the less oxygen he gets making him breath faster.

Faster!

"Hey focus on me okay?" The other voice, now clear to him as being Jackson's, asks.

The taller can feel the presence of the other and even his light touch to his shoulder.

"Can you open your eyes? Can you? Please try okay?" Jackson asks yet again.

The older can sense the brunett's hands on his wet cheeks, holding him in place.

Namjoon tries to open them, but he just can't. Opening them means letting go of the images he just recovered.

He's afraid he will go back to the main hall and find someone else there. Another face.

Don't leave me Jinnie

"You have to try harder Namjoon. You can do it, I'm here."

The older's breathing rhythm is frightening fast.

Jackson shakes the others face, attempting to get his attention.

"You have to open them Namjoon! Face reality! I'm real! I'm here, right here!" The brunette shouts.

Namjoon furrows his brows, making a painful expression, asphyxiating even more, holding his t-shirt for dear life.

"Namjoon open your eyes!"

I really like your dimples Namjoon

"Open them Namjoon!"

I love you Namjoon

"Jin is dead!"

Farewell my Joonie

The taller opens his eyes.
