Jimin stared at Tae and Hobi, breaking out into tears of joy." Omg you guys, I can't believe your here"
They all hugged," we knew about your dad and hoped you would come back"
"This house....., it's like he did it up?"
"Your dad...., after you left we didn't see him around for a while, then he contacted Hobi."
"He told me, he'd done wrong by you and he knew you would never accept him again but when I next saw you I was to give you this,"Hobi handed over a large envelope.
Jimin frowned," ok, I'll look later, you guys want some food? Someone's filled the fridge and cupboards up."
"Sure we do but we will cook, you've probably forgotten how to cook Korean food!"
"Hey!!"
They congregated in the kitchen raiding the cupboards then starting to cook.
"Why don't you take your case up to your room while we cook?"
"Ok if your sure?"
They nodded so Jimin climbed the stairs to his old room remembering the times he'd hid away so his father wouldn't get angry at just the sight of him. Going into his room he gasped, gone was the dowdy wallpaper and broken wardrobe instead the walls were a perfect blue, fitted wardrobes along one wall and a picture in a frame of Jimins mother on a bedside chest of drawers next to a double bed, there was a thick springy carpet on the floor.
Jimin unpacked his stuff and looked at the door to the side of the room wondering what it was sure it had never been there. On opening it he found it went into what used to be the old family bathroom but was now his rooms en suite, a toilet a walk in shower and a bath, all in marbled grey.
Shaking his head as he couldn't believe it Jimin walked out of the room and wandered along the corridor, peaking in to the other two bedrooms which had all been done out resplendidly.
Going back down to the kitchen he found the other two putting final touches to the table.
"Wow, it looks so good!"
"Come on then, let's dig in!!" Tae yelled.
Jimin had forgotten how boisterous his friend could be and laughed in delight.
Halfway through the meal Hobi spoke," so what's it like coming back?"
"Honestly? It's weird walking into here with it looking like this...,totally different from when I was here!"
"Your dad....changed....., one day he just I don't know it was like he had a revelation and the next thing we knew was he got Tae and I over to talk about you, your favourite colour, food things you like to do, what you were good at."
Jimin frowned," what the hell happened to him? I was the thing he hated most his belt and I were closely acquainted , I had to hide the money I made from my part time job and then when he found out I had a job he beat the shit out of me and told me to get the money and give it to him for all the years he'd had to put up with me. I told him I'd do it the next morning,That was the night I left, I took some clothes my passport and my savings book, I stayed in a doss house near the airport and booked myself on a flight the next day then months of saving later I went to the U.S.."
"God Jimin, we knew things were bad but the beatings?!?!How did we not see?"
"Makeup and I became good friends."
"Do you think your dad came into money? I know you weren't poor, it was just he never seemed bothered by material things?"
"Well to my surprise he left me this house and something in a safety deposit box, his solicitor will give me the key tomorrow."
"He went into a hospice for a month before he died,"
"What? I just heard he was ill and passed away?"
Hobi looked at Tae who nodded," he got diagnosed with cancer he didn't want treatment....., said he deserved it........., then the last month....., he was in too much pain ...., we visited, but he always seemed to be looking behind us as if he saw someone there, it was spooky he was smiling."
"We couldn't tell you Jimin, he said his last wish was for you not to be bothered with it, but......, we are sorry ."
"It's ok...., you did as asked, but thank you for being there, it seems like you two were more sons to him than me."
"Don't Jimin, leave the past alone....., we are just glad we kept in touch with you every now and then."
"Yer Welcome back Jimin its great to have you back, cheers!"
All three clunked their glasses and carried on eating, after cleaning up they lounged around chatting.
"So what is this mysterious work you do?" Tae asked.
"It's not mysterious...., I'm an IT consultant, people who have problems with computers security get in touch and I sort it."
"Wow, you always could figure out the techs stuff at college, I remember the teachers used to get your help!"
Jimin smiled and nodded.
"So you left your old work place and you come back , are you looking for a job like that here?"
"Er, sort of,"
"You should Jimin, IT is a big industry you could make mega money, we could look up some companies if you want?"
"Er...., I have a job"
"Great, what company?"
"Moonji consultancy"
"I've heard of them they are supposed to be run by a young entrepreneur who made good!"
Jimin giggled.
"It's funny they have the same name as your mum what a coincidence ," Tae said.
Jimin snorted then giggled again.
"What?!?" The two others said
Jimin cleared his throat," gentleman may I introduce you to the owner of Moonji consultancy...ta da Mr Park Jimin!"
There were shrieks from the other two," you own it!! Holy hell our friend is rich!!"
"But aren't you based in the US?"
"I was, but I'm going to set up here as well, I have staff running that branch we can zoom call or I go over every now and then, no big deal, I just need to find office space and recruit staff."
"I can't believe it...., hey the building I work in has office space, you can look if your interested ."
Jimin yawned," sounds good,text me the agents address and I'll look over it."
"Sure, hey we will go now you look shattered and my boss is due back so need to be alert he's always on the go."
"Well you knew that when you became his PA, at least he's fun out of work," Tae said to Hobi .
"Hush up, you are working with Yoongi tomorrow aren't you ?"
"Yoongi? Jimin asked.
"He's a music mogul and Tae's crush ouch!" Hobi rubbed his arm where Tae had hit him.
"He's so cute Jimin I just want to squeeze his cheeks,"
"Well maybe we can go out for drinks one day so I can meet him?"
"Sure, there's Joon and Jins bar."
"Joon and Jin......, you don't mean the perfect couple from college everyone fanned over, Kim Namjoon and soekjin?"
"The very same, they own a club, a definite place to be seen!"
"Ok we'll give me a few days to get sorted and I'll go with you."
"Great, well bye for now rest up, Jiminshi!"
The two left leaving Jimin alone. He sat on the sofa blooking at the envelope ,maybe tomorrow he thought leaving it where it was and turning the lights off he went upstairs showering and getting into his new bed and fell fast asleep.
