Namjoon thought everything was going too quick for liking and for his senses to catch up on. He literally just met up with Woojin yesterday and now here he is, standing beside the same man in front of a gate.

And Namjoon has his bags with him. Full with clothes he'll be needing for the first two weeks.

He was still standing idly in front of the gates even after the taller man entered and started walking toward the door as if it was his house.

"Woojin hyung, are you sure it's alright to just enter?" He calls out. Woojin answered with a raised eyebrow before he showed a set of keys to the younger.

"Just follow me." He replies, opening the front door with ease.

Woojin placed down his set of keys on the kitchen counter, as he directed Namjoon to wait in the living room while he goes wake his friend up.

So Namjoon sat there on one of the comfortable leather couches, bags by his feet as he unconsciously started bouncing his feet. He glanced towards the stairway when he heard muffled voices. It sounded like Woojin was arguing with someone, followed by a stable, medium pitched voice. The voices sound a bit far from the staircase so he can't hear that clearly, but he has this feeling that he's heard the other voice before.

Five minutes passed, he was nearly asleep when he heard footsteps down the stairs, one light who he assumed was Woojin's and another set which seemed a little heavier than the other's.

So he stood up and smoothed his clothes, hoping to make a good first impression towards his employer.

Then a male with dark red hair entered the living room with Woojin. And Namjoon immediately recognised the other.

Woojin spoke, voice smooth and unwavering, though his eyebrows were slightly creased with the earlier argument with the male beside him.

"Hey Namjoon, this is Jin. And you'll be working for him."

Namjoon smiled lightly.

He finally knew his name.

Though, he probably doesn't remember, Namjoon figured since a scowl was very evident on Jin's facial features. The other doesn't look too pleased with the thought of meeting him.

"Alright Jin, sit down and let's talk about the dos and don'ts that you'll finally have, starting today."

Jin moved to the single seater couch, footsteps as heavy as a child that's throwing a tantrum. It didn't go unnoticed by Woojin, and he sighed heavily but followed to the second single seater.

"Alright. Let's go with proper introductions." Woojin starts, leaning on the sofa as he gestures to Namjoon.

"Jin, this is Kim Namjoon. He'll be your dummy from now on." Jin didn't do much except spare a single glance towards the other.

"Namjoon. This is Kim Seokjin, more known as Jin. The same guy who wrote that novel you were reading on the bus."

Namjoon perked up. "Wait, really?!" He yells out, surprising the other males in the room. "Wow! I really adore his writing!"

Seokjin, on the other hand, was too surprised to give a snarky response, he had already figured from first glance that this Namjoon guy (who looked awfully familiar for him-- he scolds his self sometimes for forgetting his glasses) looks like the smart type. So why would he be reading a work by Jin, a novice of barely two years?

Woojin cleared his throat, wanting to get everything other with.

"Alright, let's set up some rules. One, Namjoon, you must keep it a secret that you are standing in as Jin during press releases. As you've known Jon has never attended any public gathering for his novels, he often sends me as his manager, but since there is this big shot publishing company who said that they'll publish Never-ending if Jin shows up to the press release." He paused.

"And if he doesn't, it's bye-bye future projects."

Namjoon just realised what he has gotten himself into.

"The only people who know about this is you, Jin, Hoseok and I." The guy enunciated each of his words firmly before adding. "If ever you needed to leave the house with Jin, or if someone drops by for business, Namjoon will be addressed as 'Jin' and Seokjin will be addressed as 'Namjoon'. Okay?"

"You're going to live in the same house, you can visit your own home sometimes Namjoon but you'll have to live here. Hence the bags."

Ah, now Namjoon knew why Seokjin was disagreeing.

For the first month, Namjoon had a hard time adjusting, since Seokjin pretty much made him his personal assistant when Woojin isn't around he had to run errands/cook for the novelist. Though it kind of felt weird... cooking for two...

Seokjin started slowly getting used to the other male's presence, one time he was so surprised that Namjoon dyed his hair light brown that he nearly asked him to leave the house because he thought it was someone else.

After Namjoon's first appearance as Jin, the people loved him even more, and so he had been asked to go to more gatherings.

And nearly two months later, their real story is just about to begin...
