Jungkook's POV

On my way back to Seoul, I can't help but feel excited while I drove to the cathedral where I'm supposed to meet them. Looking at my watch, I noticed that I'm already a quarter late since the ceremony started.

"Well, better late than never." I told myself as I stepped on the gas

I arrived rather late than I expected. I went inside the cathedral and walked quietly to the side to find where the rest of my friends are. It didn't take too long to find them though because they were all standing and Namjoon's height kind of give him away. 

"Jungkook!" Seokjin half-whispered, helf exclaimed; he was the first one to recognize me. I smiled at him shyly, remembering how our last conversation went before I moved to Busan. 

Flashback

I was in my university, about to go to my car just after I finished my last class. Near my car, I found a crowd of people holding their phones up as if they're taking a photo of someone.

Slitting my eyes to see what they're so busy of, I recognized Seokjin standing outside his car, and was being ambushed by his crazy fans. Why he was there, I had no idea. I made my way to them, once inside their circle, I pushed some people aside since I could already see how comfortable Seokjin was getting, even when he was smiling for them. 

"Jungkook ah! Finally." he said when I reached him

"Alright, guys. Stop bothering Kim Seokjin now." I told the crowd, to which they followed but after they each gave me a scowl. I turned to Seokjin when all people have dispersed but us, "Hyung, why are you here?" 

"I heard about your plan." he said, "Are you sure about going to Busan?" 

Jisoo must have been bothered about me leaving so sudden for her to tell it to her brother. Nevertheless, I gave Seokjin a smile. "Yes. I think that's the best way for me to move on quickly. It's been 4 years, hyung." 

"I can't believe Jisoo still hasn't changed her heart for Taehyung when you were there for her longer than he did." Seokjin frowned and put his hand on my shoulder, "But you did a great job staying with her, and doing all the things I should've done for her as her older brother. I just came here to say thank you." He smiled. 

"Jisoo understands why you can't spend more time with her, work's important for both of you, hyung. Maybe now that I'm keeping a distance, you'd finally show up and take her to dinner or lunch." I chuckled. "She needs to have her boy best friend job be filled again, I think you'd fit the description." 

Seokjin snorted. "Of course I'd fit the job. I won't be having another drama this month, anyway. I'll have plenty of time to be her best friend." 

"Thanks, hyung, for talking to me one last time." 

"What do you mean one last time?" He punched my shoulder lightly. "You're coming back here when they get married, and I hope you've moved on by then. The group needs to be complete, and you know well that it won't be complete without the future Dr. Jeon Jungkook."

"Hyung.." 

"And we're still going to play online games together. I still need you as an ally." He grinned.

"Aish!" I exclaimed. "You came here just to remind me of our game, huh? Just admit that you're weak alone and you need the mighty Jeon Jungkook to keep you alive." 

"Alright, if that makes you happy." He said, "I need the mighty Jeon Jungkook, he's like a little brother to me anyway."

We both laughed after Seokjin regretted what he said almost instantly after he said that because I punched his shoulder a little harder than I expected. I can't help it, for years of living as an only child, it was my first time to hear from someone I look up to that I'm like his little brother. It made me so happy, I had to punch him.
