White Tulips

Epilogue

When Seojun and Sujin told Jukyung and the others that they were dating, it had been the first of April. So naturally everyone assumed they were joking. Seojun and Sujin hadn't realized this and were surprised at the luke warm response that everyone gave to their announcement.

"Yes. We believe you." Suah had said and Sujin missed her sarcastic tone.

When Seojun gushed over Sujin, the group all just looked at each other thinking, Wow, they're really dedicated to this prank.

And even when they left together, the group all gathered and said;

"You believe them?"

"Why pull a prank that's so obvious?"

"Exactly! Han Seojun and Kang Sujin? No way."

Only Suho had been the one to keep his silence and not say anything.

But when they all met up again and Seojun and Sujin acted like a couple once more, everyone gasped in shock.

"What?!"

"You guys are actually dating?!"

"How?! How did this happen?"

Only Suho had been the one who wasn't surprised. "Congratulations. I'm happy for the two of you." He had said warmly.

"Sujin-ah, what about our affair?" Jukyung said despondently, making a crying face.

"I'll let you know when Seojunnie goes on tour." Sujin assured her quietly.

"YAH!" Both Suho and Seojun exclaimed in protest, pulling their girlfriends away from each other.

"Lim Jukyung, you keep your hands off my girlfriend." Seojun warned.

"I will. But there's no guarantee she'll keep her hands off me."

Chorong and Co. had a similar reaction, they all exploded into shock and happiness at the news. Only Chorong seemed unsurprised.

"So you finally figured out your feelings?" Chorong asked Seojun.

"You knew?"

"Friends know."

To Sujin, Chorong said, "Sujin-ah, I respect you a lot. But if you hurt—"

"Arasso, arasso. I won't hurt your precious Han Seojun."

"I meant don't hurt me if he ever pisses you off. You scare the shit out of me."

When enough time had passed and they knew they had to tell their parents, they went to Seojun's mother first. The woman had been pleasantly surprised by this news and declared Sujin a part of the family immediately. She had met Sujin before and had taken a liking to her immediately but now that she and Seojun were dating, the woman gushed and cried.

"Ah, I have another daughter now." She said, kissing Sujin on the forehead.

The tricky part was Sujin's mother, who was still a little pissed over the scandal.

"What will people say if you announce this online?!" The woman had argued.

"But mom," Sujin made a flower pot with her hands around Seojun's face, "look at how handsome he is." And that was enough to entice Mrs. Kang.

Receiving so much happiness and love from everyone was an unfamiliar experience for Sujin. So much so that it terrified her. She felt like she was in a dream that would shatter any minute and she would suddenly wake up back in her old bed with her father banging on the door, screaming at her that she was worthless.

It was this image that jerked Sujin awake in the middle of the night. She sat up straight, her heart was pounding, her hands felt sweaty and clammy. Her father's shouting was still ringing in her ears.

Seojun stirred on the other side of the bed, "Bad dream?" His rich baritone was husky from sleep but it cut through the darkness of the room and Sujin didn't feel so scared anymore.

"Um-hmm."

"Come here." Seojun patted her side of the bed. She fell back into his arms, nuzzling her nose in his neck.

He sang to her softly, his deep voice soothing her. "Love, love the stars. Love, love the moon. Nothing has really changed. It's still the same air. With the same bed looking at the same ceiling."

Sujin's hands stopped feeling clammy and dirty and soon enough, she drifted off to sleep, dreaming of flowers and sunsets.

THE END.
