SO FAR AWAY // JINKOOK

THE END

10 years later

JUNGKOOK POV

"Jieun, hurry, breakfast is ready"

"Wait a minute Daddy"

She came down the stairs and came to me in the kitchen.

"Daddy .." I hugged her tiny body and kissed her forehead.

"Morning my little bee"

"Morning Daddy"

She sat next to me and we ate together as usual.

My daughter has grown up, I can't believe she is already 10 years old, she is growing up healthy and beautiful, her face is exactly like Jin's and my face is a little mixed.

I always tell her how great her Appa is and she always cries every time she hears her father's struggles.

"Dad, I miss Appa, last night I dreamed of him again"

"I miss him too, he must miss us too"

Every day I always miss him, I miss his laugh, he is spoiled, I miss every time he hugs me, I miss when he asks me to kiss him, I miss everything about him.

FLASH BACK

When I accompanied him in the ambulance, I couldn't stop crying and regretting what I had done to him, it was really happening again. It's my fault, I let all this happen again and I don't know if now I can keep my promise or not.

I saw the nurse trying to give first aid to Jin, but he still hasn't woken up, I can't stop holding his cold hand. I hope there won't be a choice that I have to choose this time.

While at the hospital, doctors and nurses immediately took Jin into the operating room. I just heard the doctor say 'Oh my god I hope he can survive' while running towards the operating room. I hope so too.

I sat in front of the operating room, crying. I heard my parents and his father came to me but I couldn't do anything, I saw my hands, there was a lot of blood there, Jin's precious blood shouldn't be wasted like this.

I hope this isn't the last day I see him...

"Jieun, are you ready? Let's go"

"Huh, can I hold back my tears? I don't want to cry, Dad."

"You don't have to hold it in, just express what you feel"

"Hm okay, I'm ready, let's go Dad"

While on the road, I saw Jieun was so nervous she couldn't stop moving her fingers over her thighs. I grabbed her hand, making her turn to me.

"Are you nervous?"

"Yes"

"Me too"

I arrived at my destination, I held Jieun's hand tightly, every time I came here, I always felt guilty, I felt unworthy, after what I had done to her, but having Jieun beside me, made me much stronger.

Jieun and I stopped when we saw the figure. Jieun let go of my hand and ran towards someone in front of us.

"Appaaa.." She jumped onto Jin's body and hugged him.

"I miss you sweetheart"

"I miss you too Appa, I always dream of you"

"I can't even sleep because I want to meet you quickly"

This view is very beautiful, I'm grateful that day I didn't have a choice. I'm so grateful that I was given another chance to have a small family with him, with Jin. The person I love very much.

I walked up to him and he looked at me.

"You don't miss me?"

He put Jieun down and hugged me tightly.

"I miss you Jungkook" He whispers in my ear and drops his head on my neck. I hugged him tightly.

"I love you Jin, don't stay overnight at your father's house, Jieun and I are very lonely"

He let go of his arm and looked at me.

"My dad is sick Jungkook, I'm not on vacation. I'm also very lonely without you guys, I have trouble sleeping because my bed feels empty."

[TIME SKIP]

When we got home, Jin and I sat on the bed facing the open window.

"Jin"

"Yes"

"I can't believe we've been married for 10 years, I'm grateful that I can still enjoy this day with you"

"You said you couldn't do it on your own, so I persisted. I'm afraid you don't take good care of Jieun."

"Yes, you must always survive for me, because I will always be here for you, I will not be able to take care of Jieun as well as you take care of her"

"We take care of her together"

"i love you jin"

He looked at me and cupped my cheek.

"i love you more Jungkook"

I immediately kissed him.

"Thank you, thank you for sticking out this far"

"I will endure the rest of my life for you, for my family, and i will always stay with you, i love you and always"

Sometimes, we can only realize how valuable someone is in our lives when we lose them, when there is no longer hope for being together, but one thing is for sure, there will always be an opportunity to fix everything and make it much more meaningful.
