taehyung had a gorgeous garden with pink carnations bursting out of their seeds, filling up half of the garden while the other half provided home to beds of purple roses, jeongguk's favourite. and in the middle of the garden was a huge maple tree with its prominent red leaves falling slowly before they rested on the grass.
planting them took him time, but it was worth it. after all it was for jeongguk.
that garden was the place where he found solace. taehyung always laid under that tree with his hands under his head as he talked to jeongguk. the red leaves would shed and fall upon him ever-so-gently that it felt like his lover's touch, as if reassuring taehyung of his presence and that he was always beside him.
but today, it was a little different.
taehyung was again under the tree, a soft smile on his face even though his vision was unclear, blending the colours of the garden into a blur as he felt tears filling his autumn brown eyes to the brim.
raising his left hand upwards, taehyung blinked the tears away before settling his gaze on the platinum wedding band with a 'j' engraved on it resting on his ring finger. right underneath that band was the tattoo of a butterfly, intricate designs made with black ink.
towards the brown, uneven trunk of the maple tree as his fingertips grazed the letters engraved on it in his penmanship.
KIMJEONGGUK 1996-2019
each curve and edge felt like a stab on taehyung's heart.
jeongguk wasn't with him anymore.
taehyung's bottom lip wobbled before his teeth sunk into it, his head bowed down as tears dropped and fell on the ground. his hands fisted as his shoulders started shaking.
he missed jeongguk. his world, his galaxy, his everything.
taehyung silently weeped before laying down like him and his husband used to. he closed his eyes, a sigh leaving his lips as he felt the cold breeze sweep away his hair. jeongguk consumed his thoughts like always, his pretty shining eyes which held millions of galaxies in them, his pure and genuine smile making his nose scrunch up, his short little head tilts whenever he got confused, his warm aura, all of him.
a warm tear slid down from the corner of his closed eyes and touching the tip of his ear before more followed, the salty liquid somehow providing him warmth in the chilly weather.
"i miss you, gguk, so much" the brunette murmured before wiping his tears away with the back of his hand.
"it's been a whole year", taehyung sadly chuckled, "i know, i cant believe it too. one full year since i last held you in my arms"
"it's so tough without you, my love. tannie misses you too, he has gotten naughtier . always going around and flirting with pups, and its always guys hes up on" taehyung whispered the last part, chuckling to himself.
"he misses you though, never lets anyone near the toys you gave him" the brunette said as he remembered each time the little pup would look at him whenever anyone tried to get near his precious toys.
"thank you, gguk, for letting me love you and for always loving me, unconditionally." and there he was crying again, his eyes red as he sniffled before closing his eyes again.
"i miss you so much and i love you always bun" taehyung spoke up, his voice hoarse and body exhausted before he felt the red leaves of the maple tree fall upon him, grazing his face with their gentle touch, as delicate as his lover's and that was enough to make taehyung smile again.
standing up while brushing the dust off himself, the brunette looked at the tree one more time before he heard their precious, yeontan run towards taehyung as fast as he could with his small feet and crash into the brunette's legs making taehyung laugh a little.
"come here tannie" the brunette picked him up and patted his fur.
he gazed at the pretty pink carnations with a longing look in his brown eyes before he walked inside, towards his house with yeontan in his hands.

inspired by my favourite movie if all times : sanam teri kasam
