Author's POV

Jimin smiled brightly as he looked up at the sky , it was really long since he visited Seoul , a soft smile crept his lips as he walked out of the airport. He bowed at the people staring at him , of course it wasn't easy for him to act normal while being a famous business man , he was kinda popular , especially being a successful asian industrialist. He halted as he got a phone call. " Huh?" He sighed as he saw Jisung calling him. " What is it little bean?" He asked , getting in the car that he bought earlier. " Yeah? I just landed ....mhm ....uh sure? What? Ugh fine. Take care. Not really but yeah , bye." Jimin gestured the driver to drive , " Never thought Porsche panamera is such a cool car." He grinned.

" Where are we going sir?" The driver asked as he ignited the engine, Jimin pulled out his phone and smiled showing him the address. The driver blinked before nodding and driving towards the address, he had no other options.

Jimin looked out of the window , smiling at the familiar street , everything gave him a deja vu feeling , he loved it. The faint smell of street food made him hungry , he groaned and asked the driver to stop as they were passing through the street food market. " I'll be back soon..." He smiled getting out of the car , the street was so familiar , the small plants by the side walk , the hotpot restaurant , the little book shop , the music cafe , the way to karaoke , the small lane that took them to their old hideout when they were back in the highschool.

Jimin looked around to look for the same tteokbokki stall , which they use to visit every Friday. He really liked the stall as he always got two boiled eggs from the pretty grandmother because he was the cutest among his friends. He chuckled at the flashbacks before frowning as he heard someone pat his back. He turned to see a young boy looking up at him. " Hmm?" He blinked not sure if the boy mistook him of someone else or was the kid lost?

"Ajhussi? Follow me." He muttered while looking directly into Jimin's eyes. He wasn't sure if he should follow him or not but the kid grabbed on his hand and started pulling him towards a food stall. His eyes widened when he realised he was walking to a different direction , " Halmeoni didn't get to sell anything today ajhussi , will you buy something?"

Jimin blinked before turning to the direction where the boy was pointing at. A small realisation hit him when he noticed that he was walking in the opposite direction. He was surprised when he saw the same woman's tteokbokki stall , the same stall from 10 years.

"Uh...gentleman ..oh? Haru? Are you bothering this gentleman? Haru-ah....you can't do this lil one , let go off the gentleman." The old lady scolded the little boy making Jimin step in between with a soft smile.

" Ahhh no no , it's not his fault , I was actually looking for your stall but I was confused....hey little buddy, thank you. I'll buy food from your halmeoni , don't worry." Haru smiled before gazing at some young boys waiting for him and gesturing him to come. He bowed at Jimin before running away. Jimin watched the kids running away , chasing eachother , giggling. It simply reminded him of his childhood. His friends, his carefree days. The days when he wasn't living with a heavy burden on his chest. He snapped out when thr halmeoni called out for him. " Oh... umm-"

"You kind of look familiar young man, do you live around?" The old lady smiled as she started preparing Jimin's order. " I know I'm growing old but I still recognise people easily." She mumbled. " Spicy or...?"

" Yes please." He smiled looking around the area , fondly before adding. " I use to live here 10 years ago , I spent 18 years of my life here. I use to come around this place with my friends and use to eat here every Friday.....do you remember...you use to gimme extra eggs saying I'm cute and reminded you of your son , when he was a baby, remember?"

The old woman blinked while thinking , " Ahhh....hmmm...yes , I kind of... remember a bunch of kids hanging out in this area every Friday , eating and fooling around. Was that your group?" She asked handing him the food.

" Woahhh it still looks delicious as it use to...mmmm.....thanks!!" Jimin smiled before taking a bite. " I missed this so much......I miss them." He bit his lower lip , trying the best not to cry , " the...the best.... halmeoni...." He whispered turning around , " I'll be back again.....this time , with everyone. Like I use to." He sniffled while walking away with the food.

The driver opened the door for Jimin , he got in with a heavy sigh. " Let's go driver. I can't wait to meet my bestfriend." The driver nodded and started driving to the address while Jimin enjoyed his food , cherishing every flashbacks with teary eyes.

"Sir? We have reached." The driver mumbled making Jimin blink and look out , to his surprise , it was a huge house , he smirked impressed getting out of the car.

" As expected from him.....or maybe them?" He sighed before taking out his luggage. The driver helped him with bags , he walked into the property , the watchman bowing at him , checking his ID card before letting him in. " Your boss....is he home?" The watchman nodded and the guards gave way to the shorter male , leading him inside. Jimin rang the bell , making a lady open the door. By clothes , Jimin assumed her to be a maid. " Umm.... hello-"

" Mrs. Lee? Is someone at the doors-" Jimin and the maid looked up as they heard a deep voice. Jimin dropped the bag and scoffed , trying not to cry infront of his old friend. " Jimin-ah....JIMIN-AHHHHHHHH" Taehyung yelled from upstairs as he saw Jimin , down, waiting for him. Taehyung ran downstairs and pulled the shorter male into a tight hug. " Bitch.... I missed you. So much."

Jimin finally , let his tears roll down. He smiled and hugged back Taehyung. Both males ended up sobbing on eachother's shoulder. " It's been a long time.....isn't it ? My friend."
