Sharing and Over-Sharing

And Joon was right. 

Over the following month, production got underway and stellar employees were hired and thriving under the way Eyebright operated. Orders were being filled by happy production workers who were allowed to dress comfortably and were fed a free meal from the fresh gourmet restaurant. Ecstatic customers came back again and again, receiving excellent customer service in the retail space or the dining area, happy to pay prices for the best in products and services, knowing that the staff was treated with kindness and respect by their employer. Profits were rising rapidly, and Eyebright was able to invest in research to potentially expand into cosmetics, perfumes, and even a fashion line.

And they had kept their family dinners every Monday. While they often ate lunch or dinner together in large or small groups, the eight of them would always get together on Monday nights, securing their connections and coming together as a great group of friends that worked together as an even greater management team. After their first night on the rooftop, they went to an amazing Korean place that the boys had suggested, and Dez instantly fell in love with the food and rice wine while the guys proudly shared dishes they grew up eating. The following week, Dez got them all addicted to soul food, which her southern grandmother had introduced to her at a young age and she had loved ever since.

They connected equally well over any kind of meal as the weeks passed, and grew together both in and out of work. Dez had been a bit wary of how touchy everyone was, showing skinship openly in friendly ways, but since they did so with each other as well as some other coworkers they had gotten close to, figured it was either part of their nature or their culture and relaxed into it easily. Even though it was Friday, they had decided to eat at Dez's and watch a movie with all of them together, maybe going for a soak in the hot tub as well. They had finalized some major contracts and everyone had worked hard, so it was a unanimous decision that they let off some steam.

Dez walked with Joon's arm slung around her shoulders, carrying a big bag of food between them while she held pinkies with Yoongi on her other side. Tae and Jimin walked shoulder to shoulder in front of them, both laughing at something on Jimin's phone, and Kook and Hobi happily swung their interlaced hands together as they loudly sang a song in Korean that made everyone laugh from time to time. Jin walked directly behind her, two bags loaded with beer and soju, which Dez had learned she liked to have mixed together. Their mood was high, but they were also excited to get to the apartment and relax. Kook and Tae carried duffle bags with changes of clothes, agreeing that they could crash around the house and in the two guest rooms if any or everyone got too drunk to get home safely.

As the elevator lifted up to the penthouse floor, Jeongguk jumped to make it shake, knowing that it would give Dez a near-coronary-attack. She turned and glared at him as Yoongi took the bags from her and walked to the door when they exited the lift.

"You're not a sweet Kookie," she scowled behind her before flipping her hair and marching forward, "You're just a dick."

"Noooo, Noona!" he laughed, coming behind her to hug her waist and put his chin on top of her head, which he knew she hated, "I'm your Jeonkookie! Your Kookie Monster!" He put his full weight on her until she could barely hold them both up.

"Ugh! You're definitely a monster!" Dez grunted, trying to elbow him off of her. "Okay, fine!" she relented, "You're my one and only Kookie, just get off and let me live!"

He released her with another laugh, jogging ahead and holding the door open while sweeping his arm wide for her to enter. "You love me," he giggled as she stuck her tongue out at him.

"Be that as it is," Dez retorted, "You're still a dick."

"I'll show you a dick," Jimin laughed behind them.
