21] epilogue: to build a home.
The cold bit at Hoseok as he stood outside, waiting for his taxi to arrive. It was snowing, and he hadn't brought a coat thick enough to protect him from the flakes. He wasn't used to being in such a climate; Hawaii was 82 degrees Fahrenheit year round.
He was in your hometown on Christmas Eve, about to see you for the first time in 4 months. To say he was excited would've been a severe understatement. He had missed you more than he could describe with words, even though he spoke to you every day.
Hoseok's taxi arrived and let him know it was a twenty-minute drive to your house. Only twenty more minutes before that vast distance between the two of you would finally be closed, for 2 whole weeks. Then it was only 6 more months of being apart before you would be officially moving to Poipu, likely getting married to Hoseok soon after.
Over the past 4 months, you and Hoseok had talked a lot about the future, and marriage, and what that would look like for the two of you. You decided that after you graduated you were completely content with the idea of moving to Hawaii and marrying Hoseok. You were okay with leaving your family because you had another family waiting for you in the middle of the ocean.
The time spent apart was difficult for both of you but was completely manageable thanks to Skype. You two spent endless hours on video calls, sometimes not even talking but doing other things and just being in each other's non-physical presence.
Hoseok longed to hold you, to kiss you. It was difficult to not be able to see your smile in person, but he held on, because waiting for you was better than not having you at all.
So as the taxi cab pulled up to your house, Hoseok was full of positive energy and was eager to walk through the snowy front lawn to get to you.
He paid his fare and did just that, knocking on your door a few times and praying that you would be the one to come to the door.
You were.
"HOSEOK!" You exclaimed, practically throwing yourself into his arms with a huge smile on your face. "You're really here."
"I'm really here," he grinned so much his face was starting to hurt as he wrapped his arms around you.
"I finally feel at home," you said into his chest, "You are my home."
"And you are mine."
