Author's perspective

•°•°• Present Day •°•°•

The old grey haired male, face wrinkled with the effect of old age and hands shaking as he closed his album after pulling out his glasses, eyes teary with the treasured memories.

His lips whimpered as he was too weak to cry but his emotions weren't helping him to resist either.

He held a wrinkled skinny hand in his own, kissing it softly as he watched his precious husband laying on the hospital bed. His husband's sudden worsening of health had him in constant pain.

Despite his own health, he chose to stay beside his lover forever. He laid his head on his hand, letting his tear rest against the other one's skin.

"Ah... t-told you not to cry." He heard the voice and raised his head slowly and saw his husband who finally opened up his eyes.

"B-baby." The grey haired male whispered in amazement, voice hoarse and cracking as he was very old.

"You were sad, w-why wouldn't I wake up?" The other one spoke to the old male, making him chuckle softly.

The old male, Jeon Jungkook now held his husband's hand in his own and kissed it again and again before slowly leaning towards to kiss the other on the lips even though his back was dangerously aching.

"H-here." Taehyung patted the side on his bed slowly, gesturing for his husband to lay beside him who slowly laid himself beside the other, sliding his arm under the other's head.

"I was so w-worried." Jungkook confessed, tugging his husband's grey hair behind his ear.

"Don't cry." Taehyung requested, stroking his husband's cheek with his trembling hands.

Their eyes were holding a shine of an enormous amount of emotions. Their love never failed and always deepened with time. Just like the promises they made on their wedding, they were still together and were there to support in every way.

Taehyung pulled Jungkook closer and the other leaned again and Taehyung softly kissed his cheeks.

"Happy 60th wedding anniversary, dear hubby." He wished and Jungkook chuckled softly.

"You remember?"

"I always will."

Jungkook's eyes started tearing up at the thought again. He admired his husband while slowly running his hand to the other one's grey hair.

"You still look so b-beautiful."

"Do I?" And Jungkook nodded, eyes shiny with overwhelming emotions.

"Kids came, when you were sleeping." Jungkook informed and Taehyung hummed.

The two raised and took care of the entire school as they settled down in Daegu after their wedding. They served their best to the children of the orphanage and helped them in all aspects. They dedicated their whole life to them and also raised one daughter and son which were poor twins, who had lost their parents when they were just infants and now the couple gave everything to them yet cared for thousands more.

They were extremely caring and kind, making themselves the most favourite couple around and everyone honoured the two wholeheartedly.

"Ah, I missed them, I could feel them around me even with closed eyes." Taehyung smiled at the thought of their kids who now were parents too and the old couple was lucky enough to be grandparents.

"Jimin was so worried." Jungkook whispered and Taehyung's eyes started tearing in remembrance of his friend.

"He sounded so sad on the call, I want to see him so badly but...ah." Jungkook spoke, joining Taehyung in the tears.

"We will meet him soon." Taehyung assured, turning his head a little to wipe Jungkook's tears.

"I miss Yoongi." Jungkook whispered again, eyes couldn't stop leaving tears as he mentioned his late friend.

"I miss him too, I c-can understand it's so hard for Jimin too. I miss seeing him a lot." Taehyung whispered and Jungkook started sobbing roughly, making his breath hitch and Taehyung panicked. He patted his chest softly and Jungkook looked at the other one and gave slight nods after some coughs, signalling that he was fine.

"He is happy in heaven, I am sure." Taehyung assured and laid his head on Jungkook's chest who engulfed him in his embrace.

Taehyung whispered sweet nothings to him, knowing how to calm his husband down.

"You made me so worried last night." Jungkook complained and Taehyung raised his shaking head a little.

"Told you not to worry about me, I am leaving nowhere without you." With this he softly landed his lips on the other's forehead for a sweet kiss.

"You better not."

Taehyung hummed and laid down again, eyes landing on the scenery outside of the window, the dusk approaching but still the fading light of sunset made the pink-peachy mellow petals visible which were floating in the air. The cherry blossoms were still there, hitting them with nostalgic feelings.

"It's spring season, cherry blossoms are blooming, love." Taehyung tried to distract his husband from the sad reality.

Jungkook hummed, enjoying the scenery outside with his husband in his embrace. The best thing he could ever feel was just the other one's warmth which he knew was his only source of energy and the thought of losing this had him in sadness.

He didn't want to believe this but he knew that this might not last long so he turned to face his husband, intertwining his hands with the other.

"I love you so much, Jeon Taehyung." He whispered and the other one smiled at the words.

"I love you so much too, Jeon Jungkook." And with this they shared a soft chaste kiss, gentle and full of deep love and admiration.

They had spent their lives together, dedicated every moment of life in betterment of others and in caring for each other.

They loved each other unconditionally and they knew that sparing even a single second without each other was not that easy. So they chose to stay together forever.

"Let's sleep, yeah?" Jungkook asked and Taehyung nodded.

And they closed their eyes, being engulfed by a deep slumber as an escape from the world, forever.

The next morning, the doctor walked into the room, sighing with her hands on her hips as she watched both the old males on the bed together.

"Mr. Jeon Jungkook, told you not to lay beside him. He was not fine-" and she suddenly stopped as she walked closer, watching their hands intertwined with each other as their lifeless bodies laid in each other's embrace.

"Oh lord." She gasped

"M-mr. Jeon..." she patted Jungkook's shoulder but got no response, same she did with Taehyung but still got no response from both of their sides and the realisation hit her hard. The tears automatically started rolling down her cheeks.

Her eyes landed on the album on the night stand beside their bed.

❝Cherry blossoms, season of our love, our journey and our story.❞

And she closed her eyes, letting her tears fall down.

❝For us our endless love was not only just in our hearts but in the air which he breathed together, it was in our bloods that ran through our veins, it was in the words we said to each other, in promises we made to each other, in sunrays of the days we spent together, in the raindrops of every rain, in the stars beyond in space and in every mellow petal of the cherry blossoms trees. Our love was forever in existence because we loved each other till eternity.❞

Author's note

Guys, I am very emotional. Writing an epilogue without crying was very hard for me. I personally loved this book a lot because I dedicated my time in putting the words together to make you feel the emotions that I wanted to transfer you through this.

Love is an underestimated word that people misuse it a lot in many senses. For me love is pure dedication, devotion, patience and sacrifice just for the happiness of the other.

Love is when someone's presence is enough for you to feel loved and cared for.

Love is rare nowadays as conversations are replaced with chats, friends are replaced with followers and heartbreaks are replaced with breakups.

I just want you all to know that if you dearly love someone, express them. Give voice to your words and try to cherish your loved ones and first start with loving yourself.

The more you give the more you receive, spread love, get love. All I want to say at last is that I love you all so much and that I hope that every true loving spirit in this world finds the one they truly longed for.

With love, Dippy ♡
