Part of the Block (Touring with Block B Sequel)

Chapter 25

Izzy's POV

"Thank you all so much, we've really enjoyed this tour and can't wait to be back." Jiyong said.

This Year Had gone by so fast, I'd seen Jiho and the kids a handful of times, we celebrated Insu's first birthday on my last visit home. I loved touring but I missed the kids so much and everything that was going on in their lives I only knew about through Skype calls and texts. We'd all grown closer and were planning to get together frequently between promotions. I knew it'd probably be a while before that happened but I knew at least Jiyong and Youngbae would be around because we were all generally together. 

"I think we should get some burgers, we've never had our last show in New York before." Joon said.

"Haha, burgers really. We can have burgers back in Seoul." Seunghyun said.

"But we can't have white castle." I smiled.

"Whats that?" They all said in unison.

"Really? No-one has seen Harold and Kumar go to white castle??" I shook my head. "Its the best fast food, it's not the best thing for you but it taste amazing." 

They all just stared at me.

"Let's just go, I promise you will all like it." I picked insu up out of the nanny's lap and we all headed out.

We arrived at white castle and got a bunch of odd looks probably because of the size of our group. We took up half of the booths and started to  get loud because everyone was trying to talk over each other. 

"Are burgers, fries and milkshakes good." I asked and it seemed like everyone agreed.

We got forty burgers, a couple trays of fries, everyone had a milk shake as well and they were all looking like it was way too much food.

"They are small, I figured everyone would eat 2 maybe 3 so don't look at me and just eat." I smirked.

Everyone started to eat and they seemed to really enjoy it, they ate faster than normal too. I was starting to get suspicious because they all started to be really secretive. I decided to ignore it and we all finished up eating and left. We walked around time square, they wanted to shop a little bit before we had to leave in the morning. They all started to fall back again and whispering, I handed Insu off to his nanny and told her they could go back to the hotel if she wanted to since I was sure she didn't want to be out all night after all that we did this morning. 

"Hey, Izzy lets go back to the Arena really quick I forgot my wallet." Joon said.

"We'll meet you back there shortly we want to go in the Adidas store really quick."Jimin and Jungook wandered into a shop behind us. 

I walked with my arm linked with Joon, we talked and laughed about everything that had happened in the past few weeks. We got a few looks from people as we walked by probably because we were speaking Korean very loudly and laughing like we were drunk but we didn't care. We got to the arena and Joon put his hands over my eyes. 

"Just trust me okay." He said.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"You'll see." he said leading me somewhere in this building. 

We kept walking, I heard a door open and assumed we walked through it, we started to walk down stairs and I was getting nervous. He stopped and pulled his hands away, we were in the middle of the arena. 

"Why are we in the pit?" I asked looking around.

"Well, its your birthday and you seemed to be ignoring the fact so we decided to celebrate it for you." He smirked.

"What, its not my birthday." I said shaking my head in denial.

Joon held up his phone and he was right it was my birthday, I hadn't used my phone in two days so I'm sure Jiho had left a message it being my birthday and the kids as well. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard everyone come out on the stage, they had a cake and it was lit with what looked to be five candles and singing happy birthday. I couldn't help but smile, I walked up on stage and blew out the candles. 

"Thanks you guys. I've been so distracted with everything going on today that I can't believe I forgot my birthday. I appreciate you all taking time to do this for me." I hugged everyone.

"Of course Iz, were all family now." Daesung said. 

"So we'll have to have family reunions for sure then." I laughed, "Seriously it means so much." 

We hung out in the arena all night just talking and enjoying being together with no-one else around. We'd had some beers and Jiyong was able to find Soju in Koreatown for us. Seunghyun pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his jacket pocket.

"I'm going to go smoke." He said getting up. 

"were gonna go too." Jiyong, Joon and Jin nodded.

"I'm going to go with you guys, I could use some fresh air...I'm sure theres a way up to the roof." I said and we were off to find the rooftop entrance. 

We wandered around but eventually found the way to the roof, it was huge and I didn't like smoke blowing in my face so I walked around looking at the view, Joon came with me since he wasn't really a big smoker. We walked and stopped to look down at the busy city, we stood in silence and he grabbed my hand.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I really like you, I know your married and I'd never break up your family but being with you for this long has truly made me realize my feelings for you." He said smiling and starring deeply into my eyes. 

"Joon," I started pulling my hand away. "I'm going to reject your feelings no matter what, Jiho is who I'm meant to be with and I'll never do something to hurt our relationship no matter what happens between us." 

"I understand and respect that, I just wanted you to know how I felt."He turned and walked back to where everyone else was. 

I continued to look down at the city and think about Jiho, wondering what he was doing right now. I looked at my watch and it was five at night there, I'm sure he was getting ready for dinner and probably going to chill out for the rest of the night. I couldn't wait for the next year to be over with so he'd come home to us.

A/N: I know I said I was going to update two weeks ago....I've rewritten this chapter three times because I just wasn't satisfied with it. I apologize but I'm trying to make this story worth reading and hope you enjoy it even though we just skipped nine months ahead. :)
