❝ A story has no beginning or end: arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from which to look back or from which to look ahead. ❞

-Graham Greene, The End Of The Affair-

Jeongguk sat in his office space, his hand moving calmly over the paper as he continued to sketch out the little creature, a mix of a bunny and a tiger as he was requested to do.

He recently took the job of an illustrator for kids coloring books as it on one side furfilled his desire to draw and expand his knowledge of arts and on the other side made little precious human beings happy to color in his little self sketched creations -- the job was just made for him.

Gguk just started to carefully outline the cute floppy ears of the so called 'tigerbun' as he was shaken by the sound of the loud doorbell going off, almost slipping with his outliner which would have meant he had to start all over.

Sighing in relief that his drawing was unharmed, he got up, strolling over to the door rather hurriedly but getting haltered in his steps.

"I'll get it, baby!" He heard the muffled tone of Taehyung's voice through the thick wooden door of his office that was sheltering him perfectly to sink into a deep mindset of creativity for a lot of hours at a time.

He walked out anyways, pushing on the heavy door, and peeking into the hallway, directly at the door as he watched Taehyung unlock and open it.

"Taehyung!!" he heard a high pitched squeak, seeing his little sister appear in the door way jumping up into Taehyung's arms, his mother standing infront them, glamourous makeup on for the first time in ages.

"Hyeree! Miran! Weren't you suppose to come in 2 hours?" Jeongguk looked at Taehyung holding his sister in his arms, feeling butterflies rush through his stomach -- it's really a sight he loved.

After a few seconds of rather weird staring, he made his way to the door as well, Hyeree spotting him in an instant and jumping out of Tae's arms to run to him.

"Ggoogie!" She jumped into his arms, her brown hair tied into a ponytail and wrapped with a light blue bow and bouncing around as Jeongguk lifted her up and twirled them around.

Two years had already passed since Hyeree got more or less abducted by her own father, almost taken out of the country far away from her mother and brother she loves so dearly.

They all did make a fairly quick recovery, their mother still remaining incredibly overprotective of her little sunshine though.

As for Hyunwon, his father -- after a battle in court for the custody of Hyeree, he bitterly lost, getting multiple charges pressed against him, Gguk finally finding the courage to speak about the mental and physical abuse he endured, finally being able to get him jailed for good.

The only downside was that it did leave his mother and sister without any income, not being able to afford their electricity and water bills anymore.

So Taehyung jumped in, getting the two an apartment just below their own and offering Miran a job as a hairstylist for the entertainment company he works at, everything working out in it's own ways somehow.

"i'm so sorry that we are so early but with all the traffic, i want to be sure i'm on time." Jeongguk's mother sighed, knowing that it being saturday will not make the traffic situation any better.

"Don't stress yourself, mom. He's going to understand." Jeongguk smiled, Hyeree still clinging onto him.

His mother actually just recently started dating, finally feeling ready for a relationship again after filing the divorce papers with her ,soon to be ex, husband.

He felt so incredibly excited for her, that she could finally be happy herself and have a loving relationship instead of a forced, abusive one.

"I'll try. Thank you both for watching over Hyeree. I owe you so much." She handed over the bright pink bag with everything her daughter needs to sleep over, to Taehyung, bowing to him as a thank you again, blowing her daughter a kiss and rushing off immediately not giving Jeongguk or Taehyung a chance to wish her luck for the date.

Tae closed the door and placed Hyeree's backpack onto the floor next to the shoe rack, Jeongguk still twirling around with his sister excitedly as they haven't had her over in what felt like an eternity.

"How about we make cookies?" Jeongguk immediately felt his sister perk up as the words left his boyfriend's mouth, eyes sparkling in anticipation and nodding repeatedly.

So they did, throwing together softened butter, brown and white sugar, flour, eggs and a teaspoon of vanilla, folding in the chocolate chips right after and trying to make little heart cookies after Hyerees suggestion.

After putting them in the oven they also cut up strawberries, putting them in milk and adding a drizzle of honey to dip the cookies in later.

It was already pretty late after they finished their cookie feast, almost eating up all of the vague heart shapes and having no stawberry milk left at all, leaving the smallest one almost falling asleep in her chair.

Gguk's heart felt warm, watching as Taehyung picked her up and went to put her into their big fluffy bed, tugging her in right in the middle and quietly humming the melody of her favorite lullaby.

Taehyung would really make a great father and Jeongguk knew this was the man he would want to start a big family with -- 3 kids and a dog to a accompany them, living in the suburban house with a big garden an-

He was slightly startled, thoughts getting interrupted, when he felt two arms wrap themselves around his waist and something finding a place on his shoulder and giving him tiny wet kisses on his cheek.

"She's such a charm." He heard Taehyung whisper into his ear softly, making sure to be quiet not to wake up the small 7 year old.

Gguk slightly turned his head relieving an effortlessly gorgeous Taehyung, the moonlight perfectly reflecting in his eyes, giving a slight sparkle to his skin and freshly black dyed hair that he dyed for his upcoming comeback.

"She is." Jeongguk pressed a light peck onto Taehyung's lips, the older one skillfully turning the younger around giving them a better position to properly kiss in.

"I could totally imagine us like this." Taehyung broke the kiss briefly, beautiful eye smile decorating his face. "You know, having a family of our own."

Jeongguk almost started tearing up as the meaningful words left Tae's lips, imagining the exact same thing, wanting a family of their own.

"Me too, hyung. I love seeing you with kids, you look even more perfect than you already are." Gguk cupped his boyfriend's cheek softly, caressing it and admiring him with care, knowing how much he loves the sensation of it.

"Imagine us two, a little baby or two, a bunch of pets, a big house." The older one began to fantasize, to Jeongguk's surprise, exactly the same little fantasy future he put together himself in his mind.

"That is so perfect, Tae. It's something i always wanted." Jeongguk saw Tae's eyes glimmering, the shadows painted on his face from the moon really enhancing his features to an above ethereal level.

It was quiet for a moment, when Taehyung pulled away from their tight embrace. "One second, baby." He strolled over to the kitchen, picking up something from behind the isle so Gguk couldn't make out what it was, standing there confused like a lost puppy.

Tae walked over to him until he was standing infront, hands crossed behind his back, Jeongguk's heart beating abnormally fast and stomach turning upside down with butterflies floating around.

"Jeonggukie, my baby." His boyfriend started taking one of his hands from behind his back and taking Gguk's hand softly into his. "We are now almost 3 years into our realtionship and i don't think I've ever been this happy. You give me everything i need and more and i can only give you so much back. From the day i met you, i fell in love deeper than i thought i could."

Jeongguk felt his eyes tear up again, the feeling in his stomach intensifying as Taehyung continued with his words.

"You are the one i want to have family with, the one person i want to get old with. And ever since seeing you dressed so prettily at Namjoon's and Jimin's wedding, i couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if it was ours. I thought about it a lot and -- it's just a thought that feels right, that feels meant to be. So Jeon Jeongguk--" He saw Taehyung drop to his knees, pulling out a velvet black box from behind him, opening it slowly revealing an elegant ring with tiny details on it. "Would you make me the happiest man on earth and marry me?"

Jeongguk couldn't comprehend what just happened, stomach and heart completely flipping as he broke out into a fit of tears, his body making him nod frantically and stretching his hand out.

He saw Taehyung smiling widely, slightly shaking as he was sliding the ring on his finger, standing up and Gguk immediately pulling his now fiancé into his embrace to kiss him softly.

Their lips moving against eachother like they were meant to be, carefully and sweetly, Gguk wrapping his hands securely around Tae's neck and Tae's hands wandering to Gguk's waist.

Their kisses, seemingly lasting for hours, trying to portrait their love for eachother with simple actions instead of trying to find the words that could never describe the depth of it.

They broke apart, both begging for air, chests heaving up and down but both still remaining in a hug.

"You know, baby --" Taehyung sighed breathlessly before continuing. "I actually planned to propose properly tomorrow like have it be all romantic but the opportunity was too perfect right now to let it slide."

Jeongguk giggled still in tears. "I couldn't have imagined a better way, hyungie."

So, i guess this is it for groupie.

I have to say i was kind of occasionally crying while writing his chapter, just now really realizing how attached i got to this plot and it's characters.

I know; it's just a book but this book was kind of my breaking point, it got a lot of attention having over 150k reads now which is just mindblowing to me. It's really a bitter sweet moment to end it here.
There could be an epilogue though if you guys would want that!

I really want to thank everyone who was here from the start, who jumped in at any chapter or who just started. Everyone's nice comments and votes really gave me that push of energy that always made me be on time with chapters, have little to no writers block and make me get up half and hour earlier to answer as much stuff as i can.

Thank you everyone for supporting me and groupie! Please if you haven't already, maybe give my new book 'finesse' a read <3

have the best day ever everyone!
