Extra long for you guys :) the last one before the epilogue.
"Jin, me and Jintae are gonna go buy ice cream."
Seokjin heard Taehyung said. He nodded his head and looked at him when he was leaving the door. He sighed and just placed the plate on his hand on the table.
Meanwhile, Taejin was just eyeing him. He knew the meaning of those looks that his father is throwing at Taehyung. He can never mistaken that, that was the very same expression he wore everytime they will fight and he wants to apologize because he can't bear to have Taehyung angry at him. Well, that was what he had seen when they were growing up.
Both of his parents were a good example of love itself. They were selfless and kind and everything anyone could ask for. But seeing how they were now, he can't believe and understand what's happening.
Well, not until a while ago. He heard what his twin sister and his Dad was talking about. And now it made perfect sense why he is angry. He couldn't blame him but if only they could talk things out then everything would be fine and they would be happy in an instant.
He looked at his Appa he sat on the dining chair waiting for their other family members.
"Appa, why do you hate each other?"
He managed to get his attention. Seokjin smiled at him. His eyes are ever so warm and for two days that they had been living with him, he can see the love in his eyes already. He finally accepted the fact that they are jndeed their children.
"I don't hate him, Taejin. He only hates me. I don't know why but one day, he changed. We used to be very close but everything changed. I don't even know what happened ... And K don't know why I'm talking to you about it. You're just a kid."
Taejin then decided to sit on Seokjin's lap.
"You know Appa, I am as your age when we travelled back here. We are just stuck in this body and some of our mindset were back as if we're 8 years old. But trust me, we can knock some sense on your brain. We are your children after all.
And if you're worrying about Dad, I guess you should talk to him and ask him about what happened. I can see how you look at him, you love him already. Why not just spill it and see what happens. Our future depends on you. We decided to play with fate and we don't know the outcome of this. If you managed to be together earlier, we'll be happy, but the chance of us, being conceived and all? There's a little or should I say close to none of a possibility.
We just want you to be happy and enjoy your life together. That's the last thing you asked of us before you joined God in heaven. Who are we to decline it. Just move and do what your heart wants, Appa. All is well."
Seokjin was just staring at the kid like he was being possessed by some old man with how he talks. But on the other hand, he is right. He really does love Taehyung.
Taehyung was the only person on Earth that he allowed to shout at him, slap his face and insult him like that.
"Should I talk to him?" Seokjin asked.
"Yes."
"Maybe after dinner."
"Go Appa! Me and Jintae are gonna sleep early so if you decided to make love, go ahead. We won't mind."
Seokjin was going to give the kid a long sermon but then, Taehyung came with Jintae.
"Let's eaat!" Jintae said.
They all sat together and eat silently. Occasionally the kids would joke around about their parents but Seokjin's mind was occupied by thoughts of Taehyung.
"Appa? Dad?" Taejin asked.
"Hmm?"
"Can we take a picture?"
They had their phones on their hands already. Taehyung looked at Seokjin and nodded. They posed for the camera and gave their best smiles.
After eating, the kids brushed their teeth and is now changing clothes for sleeping. They went shopping for the kids the next day they stayed here and the two were so happy.
They are now doing the dishes. None of them wants to speak but at the same time, they wanted to talk about something.
Seokjin sighed.
"Uhm, Taehyung?"
"Yes?"
Seokjin cleared his throat. When he put the last plate back, he faced Taehyung who is already looking at him.
"Why did you suddenly hate me?"
Taehyung who had his eyes look straightly at Jin is now looking everywhere except him. Taehyung didn't expected him to ask. It's been 4 years and he didn't spoke a word so he didn't think that this time would come.
"Why do you care?" He tried to sound like the fighter that he is but a shaking in his voice ruined it. He feels nervous.
"I wanted to know. We were so close before. We are inseparable and now, look at us. We almost want to kill each other. I don't want this Taehyung, it's been years and I'm growing tired. I want the old us again." Seokjin said almost a whisper.
"You wanted to know?" Taehyung asked.
Seokjin nodded.
"Okay." He took a deep breath, "Remember that night in Daegu? In my house when we decided to hang out and drink with some of our officemates?"
"Yes what about that?"
Taehyung bit his lower lip. He can see Seokjin blushed lightly but his heart was grieving, because Seokjin doesn't remember.
"We got drunk right? ... And I confessed what I feel about you ... And you kissed me, and ... a-and something happened." Taehyung relished upon the memory at every touch Seokjin made and how me made his body burn but the next part is what always pains him.
"I-I was so happy because I thought you reciprocate what I feel, but the next morning, I was about to bring you breakfast and coffee but you are already leaving. You didn't even said goodbye. I felt used, but I gave you a chance I waited for a week, a month and months after until the pain became an armor. I hated you for that. That was my first time and it should be feeling wonderful but you ruined it. I hated you for that."
Seokjin saw tears fall from Taehyung's eyes. He was quick to wipe it. He went close to him and hugged him. He felt sorry for Taehyung. He kissed the top of his head.
"I'm sorry if you ever felt like that. I thought it was a dream. I've been admiring you since we first met on college and I'm smitten. I thought that wonderful night only happened in my dreams but here you are saying that it's real makes me feel worse. I'm sorry, Taehyung."
Taehyung cried harder letting all the pain that he kept for years to pour out and let them go. He found comfort on the arms of the man he hated so much, the very same man who has his heart.
"I still love you." He whispered. Seokjin heard it very clearly, his heart bet like crazy and he just gotta make sure. He cupped Taehyung's cheek and looked at him.
"You do?"
Taehyung nodded.
"You don't hate me anymore?"
"Nope."
"Then, I love you too." Seokjin said.
He smiled and kissed Taehyung's lips. He had long admired to have a taste of them and now that he has it was beyond perfection.
Meanwhile, while things were getting hot on the kitchen, the two kids looked at their parents adoringly. They quickly rushed back to their rooms and sat on the bed.
"Taejin, they're happy now."
"I know Jintae. I know."
Jintae hugged his brother.
"I was happy to be your sister."
"I am too."
"Let's go back to the future, I hope we'll see each other there too." Jintae spoke with a little tears in her eyes.
"Let's go."
A light eliminated in their room as they switched on something using their phones. They left without a trace except for a copy of thwir photo taken earlier.
Remember us, parents! We love you!
