Chapter 10

*Guess who is back?  This girl!  I got a spark for this new chapter and  spent the last few weeks writing!  Almost 6K! Enjoy ty!!*

Everyone sat down and chatted happily while eating their food.  It was like old times.  Jungkook didn't realize how much he missed it.  He tried to seat himself next to Seokjin but Taehyung the big man child stayed glued to Jungkook's side.

He clung to Jungkook and all Jungkook could do was grumble under his breath.  He told Taehyung several times to give him some space but the older man wouldn't listen.  He was just sooo excited to see Jungkook after seven years.

Taehyung had his arms wrapped tightly around Jungkook's arm and every time Jungkook tried to take a bite of his food Taehyung would squeeze his arm.

"For the love of god, Tae hyung.  Let me eat please." Jungkook groaned.

"No, Kookie.  If I let go you, you'll leave again."  Taehyung pouted pitifully. 

Jungkook turned head towards Hoseok who was seated on the other side of him.

"Hyung, please tell Tae hyung to let go of my arm.  I can't even eat."  Jungkook whined in protest.

Hoseok chuckled but when he looked at Taehyung he had a stern look on his face and motioned for the younger to let go of Jungkook.

Taehyung shook his head.

"Yah, let go of his arm, Tae ah.  This is your only warning."  Hoseok glared at Taehyung and the younger man child gulped but reluctantly let go of Jungkook's arm.

Even though he let go of Jungkook's arm, Taehyung leaned his body snuggly against Jungkook's side.  Jungkook just let it go and ate while listening to his hyungs talk.

What he really wanted though was to be seated next to Seokjin.   The older went out of his way to ignore him through most of the meal.

"Kook ah?" 

Someone was talking to him.  He got lost in his thoughts for a minute there.

"Kook ah?"  Hoseok nudged him in the shoulder.

"Sorry, hyung.  What did you say?"

Hoseok appeared a bit annoyed but he repeated his question.

" How's the business going, Kook ah?"

"Oh it's going really well.  We started with one small office in L.A. then opened three more in Chicago, New York and Boston.   Seven years later we're branching out to the European market as well as China, Japan, Brazil, Austrailia and home right here in Korea."  Jungkook talked with so much pride the older hyungs were proud of him all but one.

"So why don't you go back to America and run your business then."  Seokjin nearly spat out in Jungkook's direction.

"Hyung, that's kind of uncalled for."  Namjoon chimed in.

The other followed suit too.

"Yah, Seok hyung, Jungkookie needs to stay here where he belongs.  He doesn't need to go back.  Why be mean to him?" Taehyung grumbled at Seokjin.

The older man was getting annoyed.  He didn't like that his friends were defending Jungkook.  He hated him.  Jungkook hurt him even after seven years the hurt and pain still laid wide up like a festering wound.

"Fine.  You all forget what he did to me and what he put me through.  You all forget so easily.  I'm leaving."  Seokjin stood up, he was pissed off and didn't want to stay any longer.
