After 27 years Mark woke up next to the love of his life, the warmth so comforting and pleasing. He'd suffered so much that at one point he thought he'd never life to see and keep his promise to his wife. Haechan took small uneasy breaths, after two severe strokes he had to take care of himself or that would certainly be the end of the brunettes life.

"Good Morning Teddy." Waking up to Marks voice felt strange but pleasingly satisfying. Donghyuck opened his eyes, he wasn't dreaming today, his husband was really beside him.

"You aren't a dream are you?" Haechan cupped those pale cheeks, fondness dripping heavily on his affection.

"I'm not baby. I'm really here, beside you. And I'll never leave. Never." Mark kissed Haechans forehead with a smile.

They were no longer young but Haechan was still one hot boy. Mark limped downstairs with his crutch as he found his wife making breakfast, having left this beautiful boy at the age of twenty, pregnant and alone he had hurt him so much for the last twenty seven years. How was he supposed to make up for it?

"It feels strange to suddenly have you around the house." Giggled his face a dark shade of pink. It felt like the first day they were married. "You left me a few months after got pregnant and you've come. What do we do?" Haechan bit his lips, Mark chuckled softly for he never saw his wife so nervous. He took his arm slowly, guiding it up to his lips.

"Should we just fall in love all over again? Michael did say that I better give you everything what I couldn't. Including babies." He teased the brunette, Haechan gasped cutely as he playfully slapped the man's chest with a glare.

"You haven't changed a bit! You have a son who has two kids you idiot." Haechan scolded him. Mark wiggled his eyebrows at his wife who started pouting.

"That doesn't stop me from making lo-" Mark tried get closer but he kind of stumbled. He wasn't able to run about as he once could, he had brackets on his left limb and a crutch under his shoulder to support him.

"Markie what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Haechan was quick to wipe his husband's tears,his big bear orbs glistening with worry.

"Nothing Teddy Bear. It's just that my leg doesn't allow me to do as I once did." Mark smiled with a sniffle. Soft plump lips pressed against own, it was really so nice to feel his warmth on his lips. His soul missed his little bear.

"I don't care about your leg. My husband is here with me, that's all that matters. You are alive Mark. I've wait so long for you. I'd take you as you are. Unless you cheated on your Teddy Bear!!!" Haechan cutely gasped at the older who chuckled and squeezed the beauty In a bone crushing hug.

"I've thought only of you all these years baby Bear. Only you." He assured his wife.

Though it took so long for Haechans husband to come back, Mark still had that look of unconditional love in his eyes for his wife, just like how he looked at him when they first met and fell in love. Michael wanted them to happen, he didn't mind if his mother fell pregnant again because he personally thought that that man who sacrificed his life for him deserved his  the time he lost with his husband again. They spoke for hours, there were so many stories unsaid and were yet to be heard. It was as if they had never been apart.

"Are you listening?! I've been talking to you for hours. Mark!!" Haechan slouched his shoulders, the neatly folded laundry on the sideline of the bed.

"I haven't stared at you for 27 years. You can't blame me." Mark shrugged, he lend on the bay window with his crutch resting on the side. Haechan giggled shyly as he waddled closer to the man he had waited for so long. "Your skin feels just as soft as it once did, even softer I guess. If only I hadn't left for war......" He whispered sneaked his arms under the brunettes shirt as he caressed the man's flanks.

"Love, you need to move on from the past, Can we start all over again? I want to live every bit of my remaining life with you by my side." Haechan smiled his everlasting smile, making Mark catch the contagious gesture.

"Should we go on a date?" Said Mark and an excited nod was given.

With the money Haechan collected from his husband's pension they purchased a car for themselves. To go on dates and re live life before it would be time for them to leave. Michael was more than delighted to see his mother's broken heart find all its lost pieces. Their youth had been stolen from them because the treacherous war, they deserved every bit of happiness as the others did.

"I just want you to forget your age and fall in love all over again. Think of me as your eldest son not your only son. Guys, I love you both so much and I want you to relive the fairytale you were robbed off from. I wouldn't mind Mom ending up pregnant, I would actually be excited. I just want both of you to be happy." Michael hugged them both before his parents left for Jeju, on a vacation for themselves.

"Son..." Haechan whispered but Michael pushed him into his father's arms.

"Go Mom. Be happy. I'll always be here. You guys can do whatever because it's a second chance given to you. Don't miss it." Michael waved happily as the vehicle drove off. He broke down crying happy tears, finally.......Finally his father was back, his mother was smiling again. He hadn't been so happy himself in years.  "I wish you guys happiness!" He smiled through content tears.
