Jaebum’s POV

I was shock when suddenly Appa enter the dorm.  Finally it’s time I’ve been caught ..

“YAH! Why everyone is quite!?” Appa yelled as he look alternately to Cheonsa and Jinyoung. Then he continue ..

“Lim Jae Beom is that you!?” Appa ask me in disbelief.

“Ne Appa it’s me, JB” I answer shortly when suddenly Appa came to me and pull me to a hug.

“Yah Jaebum-ah where have you been? What happen to you??” Appa ask while still hugging me, I can feel his tears start to flow all over his face. I can’t believe this, he’s not usually the one who express himself with tearing.

“Appa .. uljima ..don’t cry .. jeongmal uljima ..” I said as I rub his back, I feel so wrong right now .. I made someone who made me a better person cry .. because of me ..

Then suddenly Appa pull apart the hug. And he drag me to sit down beside me at the sofa, and than Appa call Cheonsa to come. I’m sitting between Appa and Jinyoung while Cheonsa is sitting at the other side next to Jinyoung.

I start to explain everything like how I explained to Cheonsa and Jinyoung two days ago. It’s still tuff for me to remember everything, I feel the same pain every time I have to remember everything. But it’s okay, Appa deserve to know, I had created a huge trouble for him I believe. Then Appa pull me back to his hug, he is crying, thinking about what I’d been trough this past year. I keep apologizing to him, but he always stop me every time I said sorry, he keep telling me that it’s okay, no need to apologize because it must be harder for me. But I still feel terrible for causing so much trouble and pain for someone who treat me like his own son, who always giving me parental care, who made me a better person as I am today .. I feel so sorry .. I can feel Jinyoung’s hand my back to calm me down, having these three person is a blessed in my life, I wouldn’t be who I am today if not because of them, who always there to understand and support me in all conditions. I’m so blessed.

“Jaebum-ah, what’s your plan now?” Appa ask me. But I still remain in silent ..

“Would you like to resume to your activity?” he continued.

“What do you mean Appa?” I ask him, pretending I don’t get what he’s saying.

“I mean, would you like to resume your career? Back to GOT7?” he ask. I can see there is so much hope in his eyes. Honestly I feel frustrated right now .. I’m really scared to see him disappoint.

“Ne hyung .. I would love to give you back your leader position if you want.” Jinyoung added. It’s even harder for me now .. two person that I cherish hoping me to come back ..

“I’m sorry. Jinjja mianhe Appa, Jinyoungie, I’m sorry for disappointing your hope but I can’t” I said as look down. Didn’t want to see disappointment in their eyes.

“But why Jaebum-ah?” Appa ask.

“I have recovered. I’m fully healed, I wouldn’t have any problem for living my everyday life ..” I said as I stop ..

“That’s good Jaebum hyung, then what’s the problem?” Jinyoung ask.

“The doctors said that I will be okay with my everyday life, as long as I’m not undergoing rough activities such as tuff sports or routine dance practices ..” I finish my sentence as I smile bitterly. Cheonsa pull one of my hand and hold it tight. Everyone is still in silent after hearing my explanation.

“In other words routine dance practices, and following tight schedule might .. might harm you?” Appa ask me carefully.

 “Ne Appa. Mianhe .. I shouldn’t get hurt at the first place ..” I tell him bitterly.

“It’s not your fault Jaebum-ah, it must be hard on you. But what will you do to make living?” Appa ask with full concern.

“Do you guys ever heard about ‘Étoile Éternelle’” I ask everybody.

“Ne oppa. Isn’t that one of the most famous restaurant in New York and Los Angeles right now?” Cheonsa said.

“Ne Jaebum-ah, isn’t Étoile considered as the busiest restaurant in NY and LA? We wont get a chair unless we have booked for months ago.” Appa added.

“Ne .. and I’m planning to expand to other cities as well.” I answered.

“WHAT??” all three of them exclaim.

“So you are telling us that you are the owner of Étoile Éternelle!?” Appa said in disbelief.

“Ne Appa” I answer shortly.

“Yah hyung isn’t that to much? A few month ago when we had our concert in LA, we didn’t even get a chair there. You are unbelievable hyung.” Said Jinyoung pretend to get annoyed. As I just laugh.

“Mianhe Jinyoung-ah, I didn’t choose the customers, the manager just follow the rule, ‘first come first serve’'” I said to Jinyoung.
