<Jeonghan's POV>

The inauguration of the project went well. Several high profile guests were invited as the Serenity and Rose Quartz teams unveiled their first ever collaboration.

Surprisingly, I even faced the media and gave interviews. Seungcheol was by my side, holding my hand and assuring me that it was all okay. He gave me strength.

Okay but where is he now? He made me sit in the hall of our mansion and just left with everyone.

I sighed as he waited for at least one of them to come back.

It was when all of them came in with Seungcheol in the center. His hands were gripping a wheelchair on which a woman in her early 50s was sitting. A man of similar age was walking beside him while a much younger man was on his other side.

I stood up as realisation hit me. They were the people I had talked over a video call in the name of Mingyu's relatives.

And- and Seungcheol had told me that they were none other than my-? My family? Right? They were. Definitely.

I couldn't help as I practically ran towards them with tears in my eyes. They looked unfamiliar yet too familiar, as if my heart was already connected to them.

"Son?" The lady was tearing up.

I knelt down in front of her, letting her hold my cheeks and kiss my forehead. The word which I had been craving to say, unconsciously slipped out of my mouth, "Mom."

"Yes." She nodded, "Mom. Call me mom, you're my son, Jeonghan."

I embraced her tightly and cried, "I'm so sorry."

"Don't be." She calmed me while patting my back, "It wasn't your fault."

I stood up, wiping my tears, "Dad?"

"Yes, son." He tried to hold back his tears, "My son."

"I- I made you wait a lot, didn't I?"

He embraced me tightly, "I missed you so much son, I missed you a lot."

After losing all my calm in his simple embrace, I approached the remaining person. I recalled his name as everyone had told me, "Kihyun."

"Hyung!!" He cried heavily while snuggling into my arms, "I knew you will come back. I trusted you. I knew you will never leave me."

"I'm so sorry, you had to wait so much."

Everything was too overwhelming. I couldn't hold myself back as I cried heavily. Soon, I was pulled into another warm embrace.

Seungcheol.

"Shh calm down." Seungcheol patted me, "I promised mom and dad that I'll bring their cheerful son back to them. You're going to keep my promise, right?"

"Thank you so much." I wiped my tears, "Thanks to all of you. I'm so blessed to have you all with me."

"Don't make us cry." Seungkwan complained.

The rest of the evening went with me clinging to my family after which all of us had dinner together.

It was so beautiful. Everyone smiling through the soulful dinner.

My mind repeated my known life to me. Was it a game of destiny just to expand my family?

I would have never met Joshua, Hoshi, Mingyu, Seungkwan and Dino without this. But at the same time, I can't justify the pain mom, dad, Kihyun, Seungcheol, Jun, Wonwoo, Woozi, Minghao, Seokmin and Vernon went through.

But at the end, we all are happy.

Joshua and Seokmin make a good pair. They're mostly bickering but they love each other. Their dynamics are interesting.

Mingyu and Wonwoo are rather subtle when around us. But you can never ignore how they look at each other with pure admiration in their eyes.

Hoshi and Woozi are always bickering, no matter how much they love each other. Apparently, Hoshi likes to annoy Woozi because he thinks he looks adorable when upset. Yeah, he's built different but you can't blame him.

Jun and Minghao- I really can't believe that they started dating so late when they were beside each other since the beginning. They're simply made for each other, it's the perfect way to describe them.

Vernon and Seungkwan are one of the youngest among us so yeah, they're quite expressive even if they're around us. Nevermind, they're adorable. I like how they're somehow always beside each other.

Dino, is still single and you shouldn't tease him. He has chosen it. He wants to wait until a person enters his heart without any efforts. He wants it natural, true and genuine. So yeah, wishing him good luck.

Mom, dad and Kihyun are so sweet. I just met them and I already feel attached to them. I'm happy to see them happy, it's such a comforting feeling.

And there he is, my love, my comfort, my home, my everything. Seungcheol. He doesn't like when I thank him but I want to let him know how he made my life so beautiful.

If it wasn't him, I could have never moved on in my life. I would have never given up on forcing myself to recall everything and risk my life.

But now, it's better to know myself through him. He always recites all those stories to me patiently. He knows what I like and what not. In short, he knows me much better than I know myself.

Seeing myself through his eyes is just heaven.

Everyday, I try to figure out ways to ease the pain he had been building up in his heart. He's so strong. If he falls, he knows how to stand up with much more determination. And it's because he's true to himself.

I want to love him so much that he'll forget all those times he had to cry. I've vowed to myself that I'll never let him be in pain. I'll be the reason of his smile and I'll do anything and everything for it.

I love him. A lot.

"Are you up for a walk in the garden?" Seungcheol asked me when I was lost in my thoughts.

"Sure." I smiled and went out with him into the garden. The night was sparkling with beautiful stars and the pretty moon.

"How are you feeling?" Seungcheol asked gently.

"Back to life" I chuckled, "And it's all because of you."

Seungcheol kissed my forehead, "I think I won?"

I nodded in denial, "WE won."

It was when Dino and Kihyun came to us. Dino stood beside me and Kihyun took Seungcheol's side.

They made us face each other.

"What are you both doing?" I asked with confusion.

"We declare you as newly wedded husbands." Dino teased.

"You may kiss now." Kihyun pushed Seungcheol towards me as both of us got a little flustered.

"You both, get out right now." Seungcheol tried to rebuke them.

"We're already out, hyung." Dino stated.

"So go in or whatsoever." Seungcheol nodded.

"Sure, sure, we were just teasing." Kihyun laughed as he and Dino went in.

"Well-" I leaned on Seungcheol's shoulder, "The idea isn't bad."

"It's not bad but it's not the time either." Seungcheol smiled, "I'll propose you with a ring when the right time will arrive."

"I know and I trust you."

Seungcheol engulfed me in his arms, "You're so mine, Jeonghan."

"I'm meant to be yours." I nodded.

"You know how much I love you." Seungcheol whispered, "I'm so grateful for that."

I looked into his eyes, "I'm so happy because you're here."

"Yes, love." Seungcheol kissed my forehead, "I FOUND YOU."

I nodded at him with a genuine smile.

"We found each other." Seungcheol continued, "Not only that, we also found a big happy family. They found their love. All of us found happiness. See, the meaning behind these two simple words, 'found you' is so special and precious."

"I know. Those two words brought us back to life."

"Jeonghan, I love you."

"I love you too, Seungcheol."

I have enough of you
Nothing is taken for granted
I only have you
Won't let them break your heart, oh no...
