Haechans couldn't believe his own eyes, his husband sat beside him on the couch, full of life and blood, his voice made him dizzy, his heart felt too light to carry. He stumbled to the kitchen, to distract himself for a little while. Seeing Mark after 26 years of waiting gave him the happiness of a lifetime but he was suddenly to shy to look him in the eye. Everyone was here, every single person who knew Mark, even his brother. His friends, Jaemin, Jeno and Renjun. So many, it felt like old times.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you or your mother." Mark looked guiltily at his son, now a father with responsibilities.

"I'm not the one you need to apologize big time to. It's Mom you have to fall on your knees and ask for forgiveness for not coming back for so long! You know how painful it was for me to watch him wait every year at the airport hoping you would come? He held onto your promises, now that you've come you better make sure you give him the love he lost for 26 years! Your son is turning 27 this year, did you ever miss me? Dad, I don't care what you do or how you do it, you need to promise me that my mother will never shed a tear again. I've been a bad son when I was younger but I've never made him wait for years, I don't care if you are crippled now, I want my mother to be happy,give him the fairytales you failed to give. Please, kiss him, make love, give me more siblings, just fix him Daddy. That's all I want, if you hurt him or leave him I swear I'll kill you myself." Michael warned the man he knew to be his father on picture frames. Mark smiled, he nodded.

"I give you my word son. I'll never leave again." Mark gasped when Michael hugged him. Haechan saw him from the window, like a lost Pudu, he was suddenly alone in his house, with his husband who had suddenly returned.

As Michael and his family left, along with the others, Mark limped back inside, the place the same as it once was, when he left. He found his wife fiddling with utensils in the kitchen as he hugged him from behind. Haechan didn't know how to react, he just stood there without moving.

"Say something atleast." Mark turned him around as he guided him to the couch.

"W-Why didn't come b-back sooner?" Haechan sat facing his husband, his plump lips trembling as Mark sat with a sigh.

"My plane crashed, I thought that would be the last day I would breath. I fell off a cliff and hurt my leg badly, when the medic's found me after three days I thought I was going to make it but I didn't, they removed my wedding ring and everything I had, yet due to all the wounded soldiers I was forgotten I guess. The hospital was attacked so we had to leave, I couldn't make it to any proper place I fell into the sea.........the next thing I knew was I woke up in Doyoung's house. He found me at the coastline, I was severely injured, It took me years to recover, we were in a place where I couldn't come back but now I have so isn't that the best part?" Mark cupped his wife's chubby damp cheeks.

"I missed you so much Markie." Haechan mumbled softly.

"I missed you so much too Teddy. I love you." Mark hugged his sniffling Teddy Bear tightly, Haechan cried in his embrace like a baby.

"I love you too!!!! Don't leave me ever again!!! You are alive Mark!!! I was so scard that you were dead." Haechan hiccuped, he was crying so much Mark cried with him. He gingerly brought their lips together, the kiss so precious it carried so many emotions that they were unable to express.

"I'll never leave you I promise. I'm sorry I'm crippled now I........." Mark was smooched on the lips again.

"You are alive. That's all I want Markie. I waited for so long for you and I'd take you as you are. Like I've always have." Haechan caressed his cheeks, Mark nodded sniffling.

That night, it wasn't the same as it once was, for tonight Mark would physically sleep beside him after twenty seven years. The bed that witnessed their firsts, their baby, their sweet moments, their sleepless rants and their love. Haechan blushed as he helped Mark take his side, he wouldn't stop crying as they laid together under moonlight.

"Eating your food after so long feels so full and content. I missed this, I wish I never had left baby." Mark kissed the back of Haechans arm. The red head hugged him tightly as Mark hugged him back.

"My husband is back. My husband came back I feel like I'll get another heart attack and die of happiness." Haechan giggled but Mark made him sit up with a worried expression.

"What do you mean another heart attack?" Mark mumbled.

"I got my first when Jaemin shouted that you were dead and it was pointless to wait for you anymore. My second was when I read your last letter that said Don't wait for me. I never got your letters neither did mine reach you...........I guess I was holding on just for you that I'm afraid if I sleep I'll never wake up again." Haechans chest heaved up and down as Mark unbuttoned the shirt to place his small warm arm on his wife's heart.

"Don't say that. I'm here and we are going to be happy." Mark whispered squeezing those shivering stubby arms as he kissed the beating heart, his eyes filling with tears. "I came back to live the rest of my life with you. Please you can't leave me like this." The older connected their foreheads crying so painfully.
