Chapter 11

As Eun Ji leaves the party, Jin walks back to his friends, a frown on his face.

His tone is cold as he addresses to the youngest one, "So? Are you happy? Did you really need to bring this poor girl down?"

The others are looking at him as he pursues, "And all this for what? I really thought you had grown up! I'm so disappointed in you."

The young CEO who had remained calm until now lets out a little chuckle, "And that is coming from you Hyung? You're the one talking about maturity now?"

"I may act silly from times to times yes, but I always know when not to cross the line; which you clearly don't. You went too far and don't think for one second that we're going to remain quiet just because you're the richest one in this room! You're still the same Jungkook as before to us and if I have to put you back in your place and scold you like a child I will, because it's exactly how you're acting right now!"

Jungkook tightens his grip on his glass at Jin's words, anger filling his eyes, "Don't you ever dare tell me how to speak to my employees!"

Namjoon steps into the conversation, seeing where this is going and not agreeing with his dongsae, "She's not your employee here. She wasn't tonight and even if she was it would still not be a way of addressing someone." He shakes his head, "I don't recognize you Jungkook, really. I agree with Jin, you went too far; hurting someone just for the sake of it."

Yuhara, who was watching the scene, was getting more and more upset at how they were talking to her boyfriend, "Don't talk to Jungkook oppa like this!!"

The young man answers curtly, "I don't recall addressing you a word. Stay out of our conversation girl, you might get lost in translation."

She turns to her boyfriend, "Jungkook oppa! Are you really going to let him talk to me like this? Tell him to leave!"

Jungkook frowns, removing his hand from hers, "I already told you, I hate being called that! And why would I tell him to leave, tonight is not about us!"

The girl speaks to Namjoon with indignation, "You think you're so clever and you're all about peace but you're making people fight."

Jungkook punches the table with his fist, "Enough!"

Hoseok, who had remain calm until then, speaks, "Guys enough! You all should calm down. We're here to think about bigger causes and help people; not to argue about who speaks how to who and fight each other's! We will have plenty of occasions for this." he then faces Jungkook, "And you, you should apologize next time you see her."

Jimin and Yoongi walk back to the table, taking their seats, the older one complaining about the catering, "I swear giving the amount of money we're donating you'd think they would provide us better food."

"I don't see what's wrong with the food, it's really good." replies Jin.

"You like any food." says Namjoon.

"Not true!" the oldest of the group retorts.

His friend shrugs his shoulders, "If you say so..."

Jimin adjusts his suit, "Anyway, we're not here to eat but to show ourselves."

Yoongi finishes his drink, "Yeah well that's enough showing up for today. I'm going back home, I still have work to do and I'm exhausted."

"You can't go!" says the youngest, "The auctions will start shortly."

His hyung sighs, "It's only the hundred one I'm attending and it's always the same; same faces, same music, same everything. Right now the only thing I'm interested in isn't auctioning for a five star dinner or a week-end in Paris but my bed."

"It's important, you know it!" adds Jungkook.

Yoongi clears his throat, "Hmm... hmm... Listen boy, what's important is the money you're raising. I've already wrote you a check, I don't need to stay."

The CEO, tired of fighting his friends, decides it's better to leave it for now, "Fine, suit yourself."

Jimin looks around the room searching for the girl who came with him, "Where's Eun Ji?"

Jin breaks the uncomfortable silence which had taken place, "She wasn't feeling well, she went back home."

"What do you mean she went home? She was perfectly fine."

They are all looking at each other, no one answering his question so he adds, "How did she leave?"

"She took a cab." informs him Jin.

Jimin's eyes darken, "I don't understand, she knew it was important."

He takes his phone trying to call her but she doesn't answer.

"Maybe she's sleeping. If she's not feeling well you shouldn't call and wake her up. You'll see her once home." says Yoongi.

Yuhara turns to Jungkook with surprised eyes, "What does he mean by at home?"

"I don't know; nothing."

The girl shakes his arm, "What are you not telling me?!"

The boy puts down his glass and turns to her, angry, "I told you, nothing! What are you hoping to find? You're giving me a headache! As soon as this is over I'm taking you home. "

"What? Why? I wanted to spend more time with you!"

"I have clients I need to call in less than two hours."

As she was about to question him again, a woman's voice coming from the stage interrupts them, "Ladies and Gentleman, the auctions are about to start, we kindly invite you to regain your seats. Thank you."

Yoongi stands up from his seat, "Well that's my queue to go! Have fun."

~.~

Jimin has been checking his phone during the auction but still no answer from his friend.

He doesn't understand how she could do this to him. He took the time to explain to her how important it was and more importantly he really wanted to introduce her to his best friends; he knew they wouldn't think much of her leaving but he was still really upset with her behaviour. She didn't even take the time to send him a message explaining herself. He couldn't wait to be home and have a word with her, hoping she had a good reason for leaving like this.

"Do you guys wanna grab a drink somewhere else?" asks Hoseok as they're putting on their coats in the lobby.

The worried boy, who still has his phone on his hand shakes his head no, "Sorry, I need to go check with Eun Ji, see if she's fine."

"Let us know." says Jin with concern.

Jimin takes his car keys the valet driver is handing him., "Sure. I'll call you guys later."

Hoseok turns to Jungkook who had just called his chauffeur, "I guess you're not coming either."

The youngest one apologizes to the other three, telling them he has a call conference with clients from Europe.

"You know it's getting really hard to see you; maybe I should make an appointment with your assistant if I want five minutes with you." adds the young lawyer.

Jungkook smiles but he doesn't feel like laughing, something has been preoccupying him the whole evening.

He steps into the car after Yuhara, thinking he might have gone too far this time.
