✦Epilogue/발문✦ {I}
❝I thought you'd be beyond my imagination,
But then I think again and you are way beyond my imagination.❞
-JJK to KTH
≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾
It felt like they could breathe again. It felt like their hearts could flutter again.
Wasn’t this all supposed to be impossible?
At Least that’s what Prince Taehyung thought. He thought he wouldn’t ever get to see his Master Jeon, even in his deepest notions.
Some things are destined to happen, because what is meant to be will always find a way.
The Moon stood by as promising as it did when it vowed to give their love a chance.
The boy opened his eyes, he was in the green meadows, his palm still holding onto the moon necklace tightly.
There was no limit to which one could define him; sweet as honey, soft as flower and infinitely flawless. He fully served justice to the title of a Prince.
He bloomed like a rose, a luscious red bud, unfolding his petals by time, his thorns as soft as his leaves, waiting for the right hand to take him, to hold him as his own.
He was Min Taehyung.
"Slept well my dear Prince?" A voice bloomed into the soft flower's ears.
"M-Master Jeon?"
"Yes, my Tae?"
"You- you’re here…"
The Prince couldn’t believe that his Master was here. He instantly surged forward, stumbling a little in his steps, desperately wanting to ensure that the warrior in front of him was indeed alive.
His hands hesitantly inched forward, resting against the cheek, an immediate glowing warmth surfacing in the Prince’s palms when he touched his Jungkook.
His moon was here. Fully radiant for him and only him.
"I’m here Tae… I’m here because of you."
Taehyung’s breath hitched, his senses registering the man’s presence as absolute real.
The delicate petal shed a tear of relief, finding his lover safe as he pulled him into his arms.
"I-I missed you….I thought we- we would never meet Jungkookie…" Taehyung cried, his palms still holding onto the small crescent safely.
"I missed you too, my beautiful flower."
Love someone without any notion of love or of what love means, love as if it is easy to breathe- Taehyung remembered clearly the lines from the poems.
Taehyung rested his head against Jungkook’s firm chest, breaths equaling his Master’s heartbeat.
He knew he could sit with his Master Jeon, pressed skin to skin forever if Jungkook would ask.
"I have something of yours…."
"You do?" Jungkook asked with a soft smile. The Master’s hands were preoccupied in carding through the Prince’s soft hair.
"Wear it…. Wear it, so we are complete." Taehyung announced.
Jungkook’s eyes shifted focus to the beautiful Prince, staring intently at his gorgeous face.
He froze when Taehyung moved back to his heels, opening his palm to reveal the necklace.
The Prince then locked the necklace back to its rightful owner, not wishing to wait any further.
"Now it looks perfect. A moon on my moon. I love you Jungkook." A sudden unknown confidence flowing in Taehyung’s words.
"Tae…..I, I love you, I love you my entire universe." Jungkook whispered honestly, his calloused hands carefully caressing the mellow blushing cheeks.
"Can I kiss you?" A kind request fell off Jungkook's lips, like how his emotions poured out of his heart just by gazing at his beautiful Prince.
"Please." Taehyung replied, the same gush of emotions replicated, his lips wanting to be against Master Jeon's.
Jungkook leaned closer until their foreheads mingled as one. A breath of fresh air it was, their lips touched.
It felt like their first kiss, like fire burning through bones, like leaves of autumn huddled together softly. The contrast of flaring passion and a tender touch was what it felt like.
They kissed, kissed to their heart’s content. Taehyung fell on top of Jungkook, limbs pulling each other closer than ever, disappearing themselves into the grass and flowers.
"You are perfect Tae… So beautifully perfect." Jungkook praised him when they parted away.
"You praise me too much." Taehyung whispered, hands resting on Jungkook's pacing heart.
"Do you say that because of the redness in your cheek, darling?"
Darling.
"D-Darling?" Taehyung repeated, his doe eyes puzzled, liking the new pet name.
"Yes, my darling?" Jungkook teased.
Taehyung giggled and covered his face, rolling over to the other side, making Jungkook smile bashfully at his cuteness.
The warrior pulled him closer, caging him in his arms, smiling giddily, not wanting to stay a moment away from his touch.
They basked in each other's embrace underneath the large tree, the shade allowing small breezes to flow by.
The serenity of the meadow also lightened up their moods, enchanting them in each other’s love even further.
Taehyung then decided to sit up, allowing his Master Jeon to rest his head on his lap, those slender fingers brushing the dark hair.
"Jungkookie?"
"Yes, my darling…"
"I have something to show you." Taehyung said, making Jungkook swiftly sit up, eyes perking up in curiosity.
"Again? You always surprise me, darling."
"I know….Come with me." The Prince blushed while replying.
Taehyung stood up holding Jungkook's hand in his own, firmly intertwining their fingers, leading the way to the cottage that seemed a bit different today.
The door opened to the cottage with a burst of color welcoming their eyes. Name a flower of any kind, it was there, carefully placed in clay flower pots.
The complexion of nature blossomed in the small space just like how their love flower bloomed.
Midst all the verdant greens and hues was a large frame, hidden beneath a cloth with a wooden easel to hold it in place.
"What is that Tae?" Jungkook asked.
"That is what I wanted to show you. Won't you open it yourself?" Taehyung asked, Jungkook nodded and pulled the cloth away from the top of the canvas.
The elder gasped, eyes not believing what he saw in front. The cloth in his hand fell onto the floor as he tried to grasp the face in the portrait.
The painting masked behind the white cloth was of Jeon Jungkook himself. His talented Prince drew him.
Oh, his poor heart could only flutter.
Jungkook was truly at loss of words, mesmerized. His breaths fell short, his dark eyes remained at the art on the canvas. Jungkook tried to sniffle up but the tears would only fall down further.
"I only see you even with my eyes closed. Your features never fail to make my heart skip a beat Jungkookie…. And I can not express in words how much of a wondrous art you are. You simply make me want to explore in all your flairs. In all of you…." Taehyung whispered, arms encircling around Jungkook's waist, over the silk belt that he gifted his warrior.
Taehyung pulled away and stood in front of Jungkook, cupping his teary face in his hands, eyes laced in worry to see his lover crying.
"Don’t cry my Moon…" Taehyung hushed and Jungkook held onto Taehyung’s hands on his cheeks.
"I… I will never have enough words to describe this Tae…. T-This is beyond my imagination. You are so talented, so beautiful. This is so precious to me. I, I can never be this beautiful, but your hands-"
Taehyung placed a finger over Jungkook's lips, shushing him before he could dare defame his own beauty.
"You are beautiful, truly beautiful Jungkook. This is how you are to my eyes, beyond my imagination. My Jeon is a pure work of art." Taehyung whispered, bringing a smile on Jungkook's face.
"This is not just a gift but a piece of my heart. I will always treasure it with me and I’ll always be grateful for this."
"Then tell me Jungkookie….How do you intend on expressing your gratitude? Is it a kiss or a kiss?" Taehyung asked cutely and Jungkook chuckled.
Forgive me if I stumble
I am clumsy and my words
They do not form as I wish
So let me kiss you instead
The Master’s eyes fixed down onto those plump lips, wanting to play with it and never stop.
And let my lips
paint for you
All the pictures
that my clumsy heart
can not.
"A kiss and a kiss, my Prince." Jungkook said and softly held onto Taehyung's pretty face, placing a chaste kiss and a kiss after.
How is it that every kiss they shared felt new, Jungkook could never guess. He only could dwell deep into the ocean of warmth those wonderful lips gave him.
"What if I say I have something for you as well?" Jungkook asked, causing a smile to form on Taehyung's lips.
"Close your eyes, Tae."
Taehyung instantly closed his eyes, waiting for Jungkook to give him his gift. There was some soft shuffling and immediately his Jeon was standing behind him.
"Touch it." Jungkook said, his arms caging Taehyung in between.
Jungkook put Taehyung's hands on it, making him feel the smooth surface. Taehyung grinned out of joy, knowing exactly what it was.
"Take a look, my darling. I think you already know…." Jungkook spoke as he let Taehyung hold the small gift by himself while his own hands went to wrap around the Prince’s waist, chin resting against his shoulder.
Placed on the honey skin was a beautiful pot; hand-made by the warrior.
"I-It is so beautiful…" Taehyung whispered, the dark colored clay painted with colors of pink, violet and blue resembling the galaxy with sparkles of silver and gold specs like the stars.
"Your eyes always remind me that you are my universe, Tae. Bright and always breathtaking. While knowing how much my sweetest darling loves pots, I decided that I must make one for you."
"I was not expecting this at all… It looks so perfect Jungkookie." Taehyung replied, his eyes watering by those simple words which held so much merit in his heart.
Well, this is what love is all about, all the unexpected wonders that we unfold together.
Jungkook couldn't see his Taehyung cry, his heart aching to see the teary face. Swiftly, he picked the boy up in his strong arms, twirling them around until the younger began to giggle out of joy.
"My pot will fall off my hands Jungkookie." Taehyung whined and Jungkook took the pot from his hands and placed it aside safely before taking them out into the meadows again.
"Do you remember Tae? How you fell off this tree and landed right on top of me?" Jungkook asked, making Taehyung giggle at the memory.
"Yes, I do and I also remember how you caught me in your arms like this when I was afraid of getting down." Taehyung spiked the memory, making Jungkook burst out into laughter.
"And then we stumbled and fell down together." Jungkook reminded and Taehyung chuckled softly.
With this the warrior put the Prince back to the grass, a smile playing his lips when he remembered the old times.
"It's because you love me so much. You simply couldn't help yourself." The Prince stated confidentially, making the warrior raise his eyebrows in a challenging manner.
"Any doubt?" Taehyung pointed.
"I wouldn’t dare doubt, my Prince."
They both smiled cutely and Jungkook brought his face closer to kiss Taehyung but the mischievous Prince had something else on his mind.
"Freeze!" Taehyung said out loud, starting their small game out of blue. He giggled into his hands, loving how Jungkook stood still like the tree in the back.
The Prince leaned in, staring at his Jeon’s delicate features closely.
"Mhmm, Master Jeon seems to be good at this game. Should I make him stay like this?" Taehyung asked himself, his index finger resting on his chin playfully.
Taehyung playfully leaned closer, a smile erupting on his lips when he placed his lips on Jungkook's nose, leaving a peck.
He repeated the same action on both of his cheeks and chin. The final touch of course of kisses by Prince was to leave a peck on Jungkook’s forehead, making the elder to close his eyes, relishing the touch.
He then brought his lips closer towards Jungkook's, breaths ghosting over each other from where Taehyung whispered something onto those lips.
"Move…" He said and Jungkook automatically leaned in to close the gap between their lips for a kiss but Taehyung pushed him away playfully and ran, poking his tongue out silly, making Jungkook run for him.
Both the boys ran into the meadows, playing and having a good time together as they should. They were just two lovers spending the moments of joy happily.
"Freeze!" Jungkook yelled from the back, making the Prince stop on his tracks.
The elder walked up to the Prince, hands tied behind his back as he peered at the Prince, head raised up - like a Governor testing his soldier.
Taehyung's chest heaved up and down from the running, and Jungkook’s gaze doing things to him wasn't helping either.
Jungkook chuckled and stepped closer to the pretty Prince with widened, doe eyes fixed at his warrior, anticipating the next move of his.
Jungkook admired Taehyung like he always did. The boy in front of his eyes seemed so unreal, so marvelous and always so alluring. This time Jungkook made sure their lips touched, whispering an airy command to move.
They kissed like there was no tomorrow, sinking into love they have for each other. Cheeks heating up in flare, hearts rhythmic in excitement, savoring the touch of kiss falling into a blissful abyss.
Jungkook decided to break the kiss with the Sun setting behind their backs, reminding him of his time.
Taehyung was pulled down beside Jungkook into the grass which remained warm from the continued daylight. They sat huddled together, staring at the sunset.
"The sunset always reminds me of you Tae. It embraces both the light and the dark together, bringing out a beautiful warmth. Like the warmth of your arms that brings my heart to solace."
Taehyung had lacked words to speak so he expressed them through his actions, bringing his head to rest on Jungkook’s shoulder while the other hand held onto the pendant in his neck.
Sitting by the grass next to Taehyung was like taking a sip of eternity, of the stars and the moon, never tasted so good.
But to every moment of joy in peace was an awaiting thunderstorm ready to strike.
The dusk turned into an unforeseen dark night, clouds roaring above them and a lightning striking out unexpectedly, jolting Taehyung in fear and confusion.
Taehyung winced at the sound of the thunder and moved closer to hug his Jungkook but he wasn't there anymore.
His Jungkook wasn't there anymore?
Taehyung stood up bewildered, not understanding how Jungkook could disappear like that.
He looked around, behind the tree, by the cottage but his Jeon was nowhere to be found.
Another lightning, a little far, sea waves splashed high up to the sky and there in the middle stood Jungkook.
"JUNGKOOK!"
Taehyung forgot everything at the moment, not caring about himself as he ran to the sea.
He ran to hold his Jungkook, trying to touch the stretched hand of Jungkook’s on his own but the waves pulled his Jungkookie further away.
"Tae, my beautiful flower, I love you. I love you more than anyone will. You are my precious angel, a piece of my heart and my forever love." Jungkook whispered, bringing tears in Taehyung's eyes.
"But I'm sorry…."
Taehyung's face turned paler, the hand losing his grip from the hold.
"JUNGKOOKIE! NO!" Taehyung yelled helplessly as his hold on him kept fading away by the moment, the waves were devouring Jungkook back into them.
"My flower, I’m sorry that we have to part ways now. Trust me, we are meant to be together."
"W-Why are you l-leaving me then?!"
"We have never been apart my darling…Not even in our dreams. Forgive me Tae, I have to leave but my love for you will never leave you...." Jungkook finished as he smiled through his tears.
Over and over
My heart would shatter
Laying awake
Replaying all that I love
Jungkook vanished into thin air, leaving Taehyung to scream his lungs out as he fell back onto the land weakly. He wanted his Jungkookie back.
"WHY? Why do you have to take h-him away from me? W-Why?....."
Taehyung should have known that when he loved his Jeon this hard and this much; he should have known that his love would be wrenched away from him somehow.
He said nothing happened
I knew that was a lie
But I will never be ready
To say my goodbye
It broke Taehyung’s heart with every moment of everything from today to what he shared. It broke him into more pieces than of what his heart was made of.
