Hi..

I'm Areum..

Lee Un Areum..

And today I'm going to marry my shining armor..

The day has started with lots of rays of sunshine. When I open my eyes this morning, I look my left to see home.. My home.. Taehyung wrapping Aurora like a pillow, both of them snoring softly.. My just woke up eyes thought it's a dream, or I'm in heaven.. I pinch myself a little. That stings, makes me sure this is real, so real that my heart feels so warm..

Not disturbing their sleep I slowly get up, but I feel a hand wrapped on my wrist.. His sleepy eyes looking at me, smiling a little.. " Good Morning beautiful.." Slowly he removes his arms from Aurora, trying best not to wake her up.. Placing his feet on the ground, he comes to me.. Taking me in his lap, he places his head on the crook of my neck.. " I missed your smell.."

" But you smell like a baby.." I chuckle.. " Thank you for last night.."

" It's my duty as a husband to take care of both of my wife, and daughter.." After that night he realized Aurora has a bad habit of seeing nightmares at night, which is why she can't sleep well at night.. Someone has to stay awake with her.. The whole day is so hectic for me.. I can't get any rest during the whole day, and when I want to sleep.. I just can't..

Thanks to him, he took the responsibility of staying awake with her at night, so I can sleep.. " You should thank me when I make your knees tremble, not when I'm doing my duty.." He pecks my lips, and I hug him.. His heavy breaths hitting my skin giving me all foreign feelings.. His skin feels so warm to me.

I can stay like this forever.. I don't need anything in my life anymore..

" Tae.."

" Mhmm.." I shiver as his voice vibrates my skin.. " We're going to get married today.."

" As if we're not.. All you need to say 'I Do'.. Two simple words mean nothing to me.. You're my wife.." He looks at me.. " My world my-" I place my finger on his bow shaped lips.. " Save this for your vow.." I kiss his lips.. His hands roam inside my shirt.. I break the kiss.. " We can't see each other until we say our vows.." I look at his hooded eyes.. Getting lost.. " That's the rule.."

" Fuck rules! I'll come when you're getting ready.."

" No Tae.."

" I can't stay away for a whole fucking day from you!! Isn't two fucking years is enough for you?!" He raises his voice a little.. " Calm down, she's sleeping.." He looks at his angel..

" You waited so long.. A little bit won't hurt right? Think about me.. You were sleeping, but I was awake.. Whole 2 years I was awake Tae.. Waiting for you.." I cup his face..

" I love you.."

" I love you more.." He comes close to take my lips..

*Knock*

*Knock*

He groans.. " Seriously?"

" Let me get that.." I climb down from his lap, moving to the door I twist the knob..

" IT'S YOUR BIG DAY!!!" I see Jungkook, Suzy, Jimin, Dasom, Yuri, and Hobi in front of them start screaming..

" Aurora is sleeping, are you crazy??!!!" I shush them, and they cover their mouths.. " Sorry.." Hobi says with an apologetic smile..

I move from the door, let them come inside.. By then Tae wears his shirt, about to freshen up.. " Hi best friend!!" Jungkook says..

" Since when he's your best friend?" Jimin asks..

" Since I whipped his ass.." He goes to him, turns him around.. " Just like this.." And he hardly slaps Tae's ass.. All of us gasp, and start laughing..

I cover my face to hide my sudden burst.. " Yah, that's my property!!" I say.. " Not until you say your vows.. Come'on bestie.. We've so many things to do with you.. We're taking him for the rest of the day okay?" Jungkook drags him out of the room.. My poor baby can't even say bye to me when I see him vanishing from my sight..

" You won't even get time for missing him ok? Chillax!!" Suzy says holding my shoulder.. I look at them, and finally see the bags they bring alone with them..

" It's time to doll you up.."

------------------------------------------------------

" Nah it's too dusty to call gray!!"

" It's dirty gray, you dumbass!!"

" It's not going well with him!!"

" Trust the process.." Hobi stops both of them, and looks at the model in front of him.. " Don't listen to them.."

" I'm not.." Hobi gives him a smile, and fixes his collar.. Tae gives him an intense look.. Hobi looks up at him, and startles.. " What?"

" You know pretty well which dress will suit me the most.. It's not the 1st time you're making me someone else.." Hobi blinks.. He remembers about the time he had to fake a smile to make Areum happy.. But today.. Today this smile is so genuine, and pure that his eyes get wet..

He takes the comb, and brushes his hair a little.. Jimin starts spraying to secure the style, when Hobi speaks up.. " Thanks for coming into our life, and giving us an idea that everything might be fine in the end.. Thanks for showing your true side to us, which showed us that the world doesn't end for us.. There must be something which can make everything normal again.. " Hobi sniffs..

" Thanks for coming in Areum's life Taehyung.. Thanks for making her alive again.. I can't explain how much happy I'm.. I trusted you, and you proved it.. Thanks a lot Taehyung.. Thanks a lot.." Hobi wipes tears from his eyes.. Taehyung pull him, and hugs him tightly.. He doesn't even care if his suit get wrinkled.. He found the happiness he was searching.. it's in them.. It's the people who brings happiness in his life once again..

Jungkook, and Jimin get confused, and look at each other.. But they don't question.. All of them have a history with Taehyung.. Bad or worst one..

" If you're done with this drama, can I see my little brother?" All of their attention go to the door, where Seokjin leaned over the door crossing his ankles, giving them a warm smile..

" Hyung.." Taehyung says, when he comes in front of him.. " Hmm let's see.." He holds his shoulder, and scans his little brother, in his wedding suit.. His smile tells them he really likes it..

" Bruh! You're looking insanely handsome.. Not more than me though *wink*" He chuckles..

" I don't have any intention to do so.." Taehyung gives him some assurance..

A big sigh leaves Seokjin's nostril, his face becomes gloomy a little, that isn't ignored by Taehyung's eyes.. " Hyung.."

" Yeah?"

" You okay?"

" Any reason not to be okay?"

" You tell me.. Is it about the last chapter?"

He smiles.. " Everything comes to an end Taehyung.. My one was the worst.. It's your big heart that you tried to negotiate with me.. Your worst enemy.."

" Don't say like that hyung!! It's not like I forgot everything, but we promised ourselves that we'll keep looking forward, not the opposite right?" Tae holds his hand..

Nodding a little he earns a big smile from his little brother.. " Now as a worldwide handsome.. Make me something that can make her jaw drop.." Tae winks..

" Ooo~~ A competition I see.. But as Y/N says.. I think you've to surrender in front of her beauty.."

" How did she know?"

" Umm who is she?" Jimin interrupts..

" She is the one who-"

" My wife.. I mean it'll be.." Seokjin cuts Taehyung..

" Wow we didn't know.. Since when?" Jungkook asks..

" Since.. " He takes time.. " Does it even matter? In the end we're living the rest of our life with the love of our lives.. Do you need anything else, Jungkook?"

" Love?" Taehyung asks..

With a big smile he nods.. " If it's not for Y/N I would never realize what I had for your wife was just an obsession, a twisted absurd obsession that was hurting all of us.. If it's not for her.." He sighs.. " Maybe I would never feel the feeling called love... What I had for Areum.. It's anything but love.. Love is such a big word Taehyung.. I hope you know it more than me.."

Taehyung nods, with a smile.. Four of them get a little too distracted while thinking about their women, and the life ahead of them..

Taehyung a little bit more when he gets a message on his phone..

𝑴𝒚 𝑳𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒚

" Enough to make you mine today?"

The way Taehyung starts coughing, everyone gets startled a little.. But he manages himself.. Hobi asks what happened.. " Nothing I just remembered, I've to teach someone some lessons after my marriage.." The realization hits them like a truck when they guess what he's talking about..

" Ahem.. Anyway.. I can see you're almost ready.. Let's wait for the bride shall we?"

" A single detail remained.." Taehyung looks at Jimin, and he hands him a box.. Opening it he takes the Lilly, and tug it in his coat pocket..

" A simple gesture that defines us.."

---------------------------------------------------

" Auch that hurts!"

" I've left only two strands so don't disturb me!!"

" Suzy you're being harsh on me!!"

" Trust the process bitch!!" Dasom, and Yuri are doing my makeup, while Suzy is taking care of my curls.. I look in the mirror to myself.. Never have I ever thought I'll see myself in a white wedding dress.. My lips curl thinking I can be beautiful too..

" It's forbidden to look this good, okay Areum?" Yuri scoffs..

" Blame it on yourself then. I'm doing nothing, but-"

" But being anxious.." Suzy finishes the line.. She holds my shoulder.. " I can practically feel you're trembling, Areum.."

" I.. I just want everything to finish smoothly.. What if.. What if something happenes.." My body stiff a little...

" NOTHING will happen, Areum.. You've come this far.. There's nothing that can keep you guys apart from each other.." Dasom says, while applying blush on my cheeks, making it more redder than it already is..

Most of my hair is curled up, the last few remain, when Suzy stops.. " Umm Areum.."

" Yeah?"

" Did you check after every surgery?" He voice shows concern

" Umm yeah why?"

" I think some of them remained behind your shoulder.." I didn't get it 1st then I realized..

" I kept it untouched.."

" huh? Why? You know Aurora gets scared of this.." Yuri says..

" She does, but not with his father's name.. She already saw it.."

There is a silence taking over the room, when I get up.. Taking my now curled hair to one side, I look back at Suzy.. " It's a sign that I belong to him.. Till death keeps us apart.. I made him mark me as his own property.. And I'm not gonna remove the mark Suzy.." I smile, passing her to take my perfume from the shelf..

Three of them look at each other.. Maybe thinking I become nuts to even say that.. But little does they know what I can do to make myself as his, and make him as mine..

" Mamma!!" The atmosphere becomes a little light, after the tiny voice starts echoing the wall.. Aurora looks up at me.. " Mamma!! You look beautiful" Her eyes widen..

I took her in my arms.. " Am I? Be honest okay? Your aunties gave a lot of effort to make your mamma beautiful.."

" Not at all baby.. Your mamma is already pretty.." Suzy eyes me, and I laugh..

" I-"

*Knock*

*Knock*

" Are you girls ready?" A fading voice coming from outside the door, when Dasom goes to open the door..

" We just finished Oppa.." She smiles, and moves to let him come inside..

The moment his eyes fall on me, he becomes stone.. He doesn't even move a slight.. I climb down Aurora, and go in front of him.. " How am I looking Oppa?" At that time Yuri put the veil on my head..

He gasps loudly.. Scanning my whole self.. " Kuzi.."

" Oppa.. You okay?" He says nothing, just cups my face.. " Kuzi.."

" You're.." His eyes fill with water that he tries to take back, but it falls on his cheek instead.. " You're looking so pretty.. My eyes are getting blind to see you.. My Kuzi grew up so fast!! You're getting married today?"

I nod, trying not to cry when he kisses my forehead.. " I'm so much happy for you Kuzi.. You suffered a lot!! You deserve the whole world.. I love you so much Kuzi.. I'm so proud of you!!" He hugs me, and I let the tears soak his suit.. I don't give a fuck if my makeup ruins.. We both cry like we found each other after a decade..

Suzy caresses my back with a warm smile.. " It's time, Areum.."

Yoongi oppa wipes away his tears, then mine.. " May I?" He gives me his arm..

I laugh, and slide my arm into his arm.. My heart starts beating faster..

It's time..

-----------------------------------------

The venue that Jungkook chose for us.. To him it screams about us.. The sky is Taehyung who was looking for me, where I'm the lights that ignite him.. An outdoor wedding will be fun, they said..

It is actually.. I told him not to choose a crowded place.. I didn't want any extra person other than my and my only family, with acquaintances..

Hiding from everyone I look at the place.. All of them are having their drinks, waiting for me to take the path in the grass.. Taehyung's parents are talking with Namjoon oppa, when Seokjin introducing them to my family.. Y/N holding hand of him..

Jimin forces Maya to sit back there until the program starts.. Fanning her a little, she's drinking juice from her wine glass..

Dasom, and Suzy sneaks from us to meet their men.. Can't stay away even for a minute..

Then my eyes fall on him..

My man..

My Taehyung..

Tapping his feet furiously, he bites his trimmed nails.. His eyes wandering to the whole place.. Searching for the only person who is also searching for him.. Someone is coming to talk with him, he tries to give his best smile, and polite behavior he can.. But I can see his hands are shaking.. He's panicking a lot..

" Take some deep breaths Kuzi.." Oppa's voice makes me realize I'm trembling beside him..

" Let go shall we?" He pats my hand, and I nod.. Taking a deep breath I move forward..

" 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞.. 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐩.."

Jungkook shouts, that makes all of their attention to me.. My throat feels so dry that I gulp.. Putting a smile on my face, Aurora lead our way.. Holding a basket with our engagement rings, she's so enthusiastic today..

Everyone out there gets a shock seeing my getup.. They all got used to seeing me hiding inside a pile of clothes, now seeing me revealing myself as a butterfly I'm blooming.. My mark is visible for everyone.. Everyone knows I belong to him.. I'm his and only his property..

For him I can even be a product.. Whatever the fuck people name it.. If that means for him, then I'm that for him.. His wife, his submissive, his muse, his pet, his whore, his slut, his love anything he name it.. I'm that for him..

As he's for me..

And then our eyes met..

The same eyes that drowned me in the 1st place.. The eyes that caught me, and never let go.. I fought a war to claim these eyes just to look at me.. And today I'm getting married to him..

I'm getting married to the love of my life..

His eyes never left mine.. Shocking is when tear drops from his orbs.. Pressing his lips, his brows knit.. Carefully he wipes his tears.. My smile becomes bigger every step I take toward him..

He comes down.. His chest rises, and falls.. I nod at him.. It's finally happening.. He looks at Oppa, and asks for my hand.. Oppa gladly hands my hand, which he grabs tightly.. But Oppa doesn't leave my hand soon..

" I'm giving my life in your hand.. Please cherish it.."

" Your life is my world, hyung.. I'm taking this oath I'll protect her with everything.."

Oppa kisses my cheek, wiping his tears he slowly moves backwards.. Tae leads me to the aisle where the priest is waiting for us..

Namjoon Oppa..

We hold hands looking at each other.. Oppa says something we don't even know, until he speaks again..

"I request the groom to recite his vows.."

As if he was waiting for this..

" 𝙄𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙩'𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡.. 𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚. 𝘼𝙨 𝙄'𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙨𝙖𝙞𝙙.. 𝙄𝙛 𝙄 𝙙𝙞𝙚, 𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣.. 𝙄𝙣 𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚, 𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙛𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙚 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪.. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙮𝙤𝙪" Whole crowd starts making sounds after his confess..

Aurora comes with her Chim with the basket.. Tae kisses her cheeks, takes the ring.. He takes my left hand, and slides the lily carved ring on my 3rd digit.. Kissing my knuckle, he waits for my vows..

" I request the Bride to recite her vows now.."

I gulp.. " 𝙈𝙮 𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙤𝙧, 𝙢𝙮 𝙒𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚.. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙬𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙩 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙛𝙞𝙚𝙡𝙙 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨. 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚'𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙞𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪.. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚.. 𝙔𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙛 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚, 𝙢𝙮 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙄 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚.." My voice breaks..

" 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙢𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚.. 𝙉𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙄 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚.. 𝙄 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙬𝙤 𝙛𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪. 𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣'𝙩 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙖 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪.." I let my tears fall on the ground.. I see him crying.. He mouths sorry to me when we both wipe each other's tears..

" My heart aches seeing them like this.. Finally they can be together.." Dasom says

" Finally our sister can be happy again, as we used to see" Hobi says

" That's my best friend!! You're a lucky motherfucker Taehyung.." Jungkook shouts, when I chuckle..

" They are united, but make us united as well.." Jimin says looking at Maya..

I take another ring from Aurora, and take his hand.. Looking at his eyes, I slide the ring on his left ring finger..

" On this occasion, Kim Taehyung.. Do you take Lee Un Areum as your wife to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death we do part, according to Lord's holy law?"

" 𝑰 𝑫𝒐 "

"Lee Un Areum.. Do you take Kim Taehyung as your husband to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death we do part, according to Lord's holy law?"

My chest tightens.. Tae is gulping hard, his face has visible tension.. It's like his life depends on my answer.. And he said this morning the words mean nothing to him.. The place becomes silent.. This is it.. Two simple words, and I'll be his wife.. For the rest of life..

I close my eyes, and take a long breath..

" 𝑰- 𝑰 𝑫𝒐 "

" I may now pronou-" He doesn't let oppa finish the sentences, when he pulls me, takes off  veil from my face.. Holding behind my neck, another hand slid on my waist, and he smashes his lips on me.. He doesn't care about another single word. To him, the moment I said the words, I've become his wife..

" Sorry to interrupt.. I may now pronounce you husband, and wife.. Keep kissing your wife.." Namjoon Oppa shakes his head, laughing a little, when we hear screams, and whistle.. That doesn't stop us from kissing..

I wrapped his neck, deepening the kiss.. He finds one kind of power in him, that he's kissing me so eagerly.. Sliding his tongue inside my mouth he tries to take my breath away when I pull away from him.. " We're married, Tae.."

He touches my forehead with his, and whispers.. " We're Married, Areum"

" 𝑾𝑬'𝑹𝑬 𝑴𝑨𝑹𝑹𝑰𝑬𝑫 '' He suddenly screams, and the balloons start bursting, with flower petals throwing at us.. All of them are screaming, jumping like they found a fortune..

I look at my family, his family.. I can finally feel peace.. Finally my heart race stops.. This is heaven.. My little heaven..

But Jungkook is missing..

But we found him shortly after.. When we are drowned in darkness, as lights get off.. Slowly the place starts glowing with loud noises..

A lot of, I mean a lot of firecrackers start illuminating the dark sky, showing the world the darkness we had in our life is long gone.. Right now.. Nothing.. Nothing can drag us to that darkness..

I look at my hyungs.. Laughing with their loved ones, some carrying their child in their arms.. Their little world.. Their eyes are sparkling, skin is glowing .. Like they're happy from the inside, and outside.. Each one of them suffered a lot, for me, for themselves.. That they found happiness when I smiled, when I laughed..

As now I've got married today. They never celebrated their ones, the way they're celebrating my one.. No one.. No one of them are my blood related.. Still if this doesn't call family, I don't know what your definition of family is..

My eyes fill with water.. My hyungs, the only family I have in this life.. Who loves me like I'm their own person.. My Oppa.. Who asked his parents to take me instead of that boy who was talking with them so freely, like he can easily blend in this family..

Still he chose me.. A girl sitting at the corner of the room.. Just saw her family got murdered right in front of her eyes.. He saw my eyes.. I was scared, but I looked at him like he could understand me.. He sat in front of me, asking my name.. I replied, when he asked me to come with him.. His smile was the thing that made me take the decision and here I'm..

The same smile I'm seeing on him right now.. He was laughing with Namjoon Oppa, and others.. Jungkook joins them with a flash of a smile, when he cracks a joke.. And everyone laughs.. Carrying Aurora in his arms, he swing her up in the air, making her giggle loudly.. In my bad days.. If it's not him I don't know how I could survive..

It was Jungkook who always was beside me, even when I was wrong.. He was the stick that helped me to stand up everytime when I fell.. Namjoon Oppa was one kind of parent to me.. If he's the father, Hobi would be the mother..

I look at Jimin who is talking with Maya, I don't know what.. Is he the same Jimin who tried to hurt me? Jimin was a dried out flower, who got the extreme ray of sunshine that forced him to bloom again..

The sunshine will be Seokjin.. Seokjin.. A one time crush of mine, who nearly ruined my whole existence.. But.. There is a but that he had still left some humanity in him that he brought back my life to me..

My eyes aren't drying anytime soon.. I slowly wipe my tears, when someone kisses my cheek..

" Tears look like diamonds falling from your eyes.." Taehyung smiles.. " Besides these are happy tears right?" I nod, and hug him.. Letting my tears soak his suit.. That's when I see the Lily tugged in his pocket.. He notices every detail..

He looks at me.. " You love me right?"

" Is that even a question?"

" No.. But do you finally.. Do you finally love yourself?" I look at him confused..

" Answer me Areum? Do you love yourself? It was always about you.. Look at them.. You love them unconditionally.. All of them are happy seeing you happy.. But.." He looks at me..

" Are you happy about yourself, Areum?"

" Are you happy about us?"

" Do you really love me? Wouldn't true love start from loving myself?"

I nod when crying desperately .. " I guess I've started to love myself.. Loving you guys was the best decision of my life.. I love you guys so much as much I love me.."

He hugs me back, lets me break down in front of him, I try to hide my tears from them, but Tae knows me better.. I close my eyes.. His heartbeat calms me down.. His presence, his touch enough to calm me down..

Until some tiny hands wrap my leg.. I look down to see Aurora looking at me, saying to take her in my arms.. I chuckle, and take her in my arms.. " Mamma.."

" Yes baby?"

" You crying?" She pouts.. She can't see me crying.. Nor do I.. So I wipe my tears.. " My eyes are sweating baby.." She laughs..

" Eyes can sweat?"

" Sometimes.. You'll sweat when you marry someone.."

" I'll marry?" She plays with her fingers..

" Not now, and even when you do.. I'll not let you shed a tear like your Mommy, got it?" Tae says, and takes her in his arms..

Hobi comes, and hugs me out of nowhere.. Maybe he saw me while crying.. I can't help it, and cry on his shoulder.. He starts caressing my hair, then suddenly I feel some hands wrap around me.. I see all of my hyungs come, and give me a group hug, I'm in the middle of them..

" You thought we'll let you cry alone?" That is all Namjoon Oppa says before we hug each other closely.. Savoring this feeling of love, that in the end we're together.. There's a whole world of life waiting for us.. The best moment of our life..

Surely this was the best of my life..

But the best is 𝒀𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒆..

-----------------------------------------------

A week later

Me, and Tae standing in front of a gravestone.. Curved..

𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝑳𝒊𝒆𝒔..

𝑩𝒚𝒖𝒏 𝑩𝒂𝒆𝒌-𝒉𝒚𝒖𝒏

𝑳𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒔..

" You thought I forgot about you?" I say.. Slowly I kneel down in front of it, Tae follows me..

" How are you?" Silence..

" Me? I'm doing fine.. I recently got married.. You wanted to propose to me on my wedding day, when I'll reject you, and you'll dramatically fall on the ground, remember.." I chuckle..

" You wanted to show me how it feels to be rejected.. Guess I felt that already.." My voice lowers..

" When I see you.. In a coffin.. Not in front of me, flirting with me.. Loving me like you do all the time.." Tae holds me by my shoulder..

" I miss you so much Becky.. On that day all of them were there, but you.. I was looking for you.. That you'll come out of nowhere, and will dance with me.. I really thought you'd be there.."

" I wanted you to tell me how gorgeous I was looking in my wedding dress.. That you'll arrange the flower bouquet that I threw on the sky.."

" I wanted you on my most special day.. Why did you leave me so soon Becky? Why? Why're you not here Becky?" I put my arms on his shoulder, and let my tears flow.. I look at the grave stone..

" I miss you Becky.. So So So much.."

-----------------------------------------------

20 years later

" AURORA I SWEAR I'LL SPANK YOUR ASS IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP IN NEXT 5 MINUTES"

" Go easy on my angel will ya?" Tae says shoving a piece of toast in his mouth

" Why don't you then take the responsibility of waking her up??"

" Mamma, you know she was watching something on laptop when I went to pee.." Dae.. My 15 year old boy who is always Karen for Aurora.. He loves to bring trouble for her..

" Ya brat why are you filling Mommy's ear with made up stories ha?" Aurora comes rushing downstairs.. Taking his earlobe, twisting it they start to fight..

This is the regular scenario of daily morning.. I'll make breakfast, while breaking my vocal cord by calling my three pain in the ass aka my lovely children, when their beloved father will snore peacefully in our bedroom..

Still he's the favorite parent..

Oh I did I say three children?

For Taehyung it was easy to say to have 5 babies.. But he doesn't know about the labor pain or the struggle of the 9 months I had faced to carry his children.. Two for the second time..

I was shocked when I saw the ultrasonogram plate.. So did Taehyung.. He was happy there were only two left for me to give birth..

But when he saw me giving my life, screaming, crying, losing my senses in a while.. How the doctor had to cut my opening for me to push the baby..

Taehyung got scared. Like really scared.. That was even when we fucked.. He thought I wouldn't make it.. That he'd lose me that day when I gave him two beautiful sons..

𝐊𝐢𝐦 𝐃𝐚𝐞

𝐋𝐞𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐞-𝐡𝐲𝐮𝐧

He promised me he'd never force me to take any baby after that.. I don't have the courage to do so.. We finally took the decision of having 3 babies..

Who knew three will be enough to take your sanity away..

My Aurora grew up so beautifully.. Her face structure is still like his father, apart from her lips.. She got that from me.. Soon to finish her internship, and take a step to the real world..

Both of my princes just finished middle school.. High School is waiting for them.. My babies grew up in front of me so fast..

Talking about the babies, their father changed a lot.. I've never seen him being so responsible, and.. focused, also workaholic.. His business is rising like our ages, never falling down.. He's not letting it..

Everything in our life is going smoothly, except..

" Aurora, stop hitting him.. What if he's telling the truth?" I cock my brow, placing jam on the table..

" Oh now you doubt me ha? I was studying for crying out loud.. You don't get time to even breathe if you take psychology as your major.. At least you know it better.. I'm walking the path you walked before me!!"

" You heard him, little one right? What's your opinion?"

" What if she's just pretending what-"

" I'LL BREAK YOUR NECK IF YOU SPILL ANOTHER SINGLE LIE! DAE I SWEAR!!"

" Angel.. Calm down baby.. Come here.." She groans, and sits next to her father..

" Where's you plus one?" I ask Dae..

" I'm here Mamma!!" Out of these three nuggets, he's the most responsible one.. At least he has this sense of feeling what I need at the particular time.. Like now.. I looked for him, and he's in front of him..

" There's my favorite boy.." He rushes to me, and I kiss his head, giving him a hug.. Getting eye rolls from the other two..

" You always turn a blind eye to him.. He spilled milk last night on the floor.. You didn't say anything.." Dae whined..

" Well just because your mother didn't scold him in front of you, does that mean she loves him more than you? What about that time you broke her favorite vase, the one I gave her on her birthday.. Engraved our pictures.. Instead of scolding you.. She sat with you, and talked about how your life is going, didn't she?" Taehyung says, sipping his coffee..

Dae says nothing, and starts eating his breakfast.. This is how my life is going.. Taking care of three children, doing my job in the asylum.. Giving time to my husband when he feels tired.. the warmth of a mother when any of them feel low.. Being a mother, and a wife is such hard work..

But I gladly accept that.. Because these are my lifeline.. These people are proof of my life.. I love them wholeheartedly.. As I'm for them..

As for Taehyung.. It might seem the love faded away.. But it's there.. It's still there.. And the proof I get when we pass the rough pitch of life.. He'd hold my hand tightly, not giving me any chance to doubt him.. He showered me with love and care for all I could remember.. But for now we live for our better future.. For our children.. Not for us..

I sit beside Tae, Aurora is in front of me.. Dae sits beside me, where Dae-hyun is beside his sister.. I served pancakes and toast on their plate, with fruits.. " Dae-hyun, I want you to eat all of them.." I meant the fruits.. He's a picky eater though..

" So Angel.."

" Yeah Dad.."

" How's your internship going? Your uncles are helping you I guess.." He wipes his mouth..

" LMAO Kookie throws the most weird patients at me, and when I ask for help he just ignores me.. Sometimes Heejin comes to the asylum to spend time with me.. But because of Uncle Joon he has to leave for his uni.." She sighs..

" Did you talk with Chim?"

" I did.." She munches the food.. " He said he'll come here with Eui (Jimin's daughter) in this weekend.."

" Okay so apart from everything, Kookie being a pain in the ass right?" He looks at me, and I shake my head in disappointment..

" Tell me about it.. Like can you believe I just finished examining a patient, when he threw another file at me.. He said it's important for me to finish this file.. Also he said.." She stops..

" What?" There's a visible tension in her face.. Like she's thinking how we will react..

" Aurora what is it?" I ask..

Licking her lips she sighs.. " Kookie said this patient is a little bit sensitive.. And if I face a problem.. You're the best person to help me.. For you it was okay.. But why did he talked about Dad?" We look at each other, knitting our brows..

" What's the patient's condition?" She lowers her head, and looks at us.. With a smirk she says something that makes our eyes widen..
