"He woke up."

Jungkook had a complicated look.

"You know- I'm starting to regret that decision. I was high-"

"Jungkook, why are you worrying. You're the husband." Eunsoo sipped her tea and looked at her son.

She had visited them after hearing of what had happened. Although, she doesn't understand half of what happened, she still came to look after them.

Jungkook stared at her for a moment and spaced out.

His mother had seen Taehyung after wanting to know Y/n's mysterious friend.

"Mom." After a long silence, he called out. His eyes stared at her seriously. "I'm more handsome than him right?"

And the empress dowager almost spit out her tea.

"Jungkook-"

"Wait, I should not ask you this. Mothers will always say their child is attractive." He pondered for a moment.

"Jungkook, Y/n is already your wife. No one can steal her."

"I'm just making sure of it."

"Sure of what?"

"That I'm pleasing her properly. I need to look the best."

And then Eunsoo sighed.

"Be a good husband. That's more than enough. When will you realize that?"

"She have to have the best."

"And a responsible husband is the best. Stop being like that."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Really?"

"My goodness, you're just like your father." Eunsoo sighed.

"I'm better."

"Extremely identical." Eunsoo nods to herself.

They're both narcissistic.

"When will my grandchildren come? You need to start making heirs. It's too lonely in my palace. If there's kids then it would be lovely."

"What- are we supposed to have a child just for them to accompany you?"

"Then visit me often you bastard." Eunsoo hissed. "But I'm serious. You two aren't getting younger. Don't you want one?"

"I.. did."

"You did?"

"Kids are troublesome. If she wants one then we'll make one." Jungkook mumbled. "The making process was fun but the kids-AH!" He suddenly yelps after getting a hit from his mother.

"Where is she now?" Eunsoo asked one of the maids as Jungkook rubs his neck on the background.

"She's taking care of Mister Kim."

"What?"

"Why won't you look at me?" Y/n asked her patient.

Taehyung had his face bowed down.

"I feel ashamed."

"Of what?" Y/n laughed. She could see a faint red on his ears.

"I had that heroic scene of me dying then I'm... I'm alive." Taehyung whined and finally looked at her. His face was currently pale due to his wounds so it was easier to see his blush.

"Yeah, you looked so heroic." Y/n repeats.

"Don't mind my confession, I already know the answer." Taehyung mumbled and looked at her as she cleans his fingers.

"How?"

"I can never break a bond of soulmates." Taehyung answered.

"Soulmates?"

Taehyung looked Yoongi and saw him shaking his head.

"I feel hungry." He changed the topic and sat up but then grunts after feeling a sharp pain in his head.

"Are you alright?" Y/n ask worriedly after seeing him writh in pain, clutching his head. "He only got stabs in his torso, why is he having a headache?" Y/n then asked Yoongi.

Yoongi stared at her for a moment and had a flashback of last night

❦︎

"Y/nnnnnnn~" A man calls out, making Yoongi look at the door.

Yoongi saw Jungkook running towards the room, with a man on his back.

While running in full speed, the emperor didn't notice that Taehyung's head was about to hit the top part of the door frame.

And then BANG!

Jungkook didn't care about it and immediately entered the room. He then dropped Taehyung on the floor after seeing a man in Y/n's room.

He fell head first.

Yoongi was actually surprised that it didn't crack.

❦︎

"The blood loss might've been the cause." Yoongi said after his flashback.

And the two were convinced.

"I need to go back to Jin for a check-up." Y/n said as she stood up from her seat.

Taehyung, who had beem clutching his head immediately straightened up with pleading eyes.

"Will you continue to visit me?" He asks. He wasn't allowed to walk for the meamtime.

"Of course, Tae." She laughs.

Y/n continued to laugh as Taehyung stared at her with puppy eyes as she walks away with Yoongi.

"It's been a while." He starts.

Confused, Y/n immediately asked, "We saw each other last night."

"No- I mean it's been a while since you're this happy." Yoongi smiled. "I'm glad."

"It's all thanks to you. I get to understand my past."

"It was my fault after all."

"Yoongii~" Y/n sing sang. "You didn't mean it." The two stopped by a veranda.

"You've been through a lot." With tender eyes, Yoongi stared at her.

"It was a very hard time. Now that I've thought about it, where's Jihyun?" Y/n asks.

She doesn't know how to feel against that girl. Well, she had been hurt too, but did she have to become that evil after those sufferings?

"I brought her to another empire so she can raise her child there. She's banned from entering our empire."

"That's... That's better." Y/n nods. Having her near here isn't a really good idea. "You know... I never thought that this will happen to me in this life. My plan was to go far away and start a new life alone." Y/n nudged him who was looking down. "It's better to be here with all of you."

"I'll help you from now and on. I won't be a coward anymore." Yoongi pats his chest.

The reason why he didn't approach her in her past lives was because he was afraid of messing everything up.

But now he'll do his best.

"Then let's start a better life!" Y/n raised her arms up and stretched. "After all those nightmares, I'm glad that we all can still be together."

Y/n could hear the faint voice of Jungkook calling out for her.

"I'm glad that you're ok." Yoongi finally let out his smile.

Y/n returned it while walking backwards to go to her husband.

"I'm glad that after everything that happened-" Y/n lets out a much bigger smile.

"I'm Still Me."
