After reading the letter, Minho stood still infront of the ocean under the night light. Changbin was watching him from the balcony making sure he won't do anything stupid.

Minho took a deep breath and yelled loudly. He did this for a couple more times until his voice cracked and his throat was exhausted. He laid down flat on the sand and cried his heart out. The regret always lies in the end as they all say.

A few hours later, Jisung arrived and saw his fiancé just staring blankly at the sky, holding the letter on his chest. "Jagiya!" Jisung ran towards Minho and shook his body. "Jisung-ah... why am I such a bad husband?" Minho sobbed again, sitting up and hugged his fiancé.

Changbin left shortly after seeing the couple and saying goodbye to his first love, bestfriend and probably his last love. There's nothing to do but to accept everything.

"Shh.. It's okay." Jisung comforted his fiancé even though it hurts him to see Minho like that. Broken and weak.

The next day, Minho left a letter for Jisung saying goodbye and also to Myungsoo. He quickly arrived at the escape house and went straight to where Hyunjin is. Still there, unharmed, untouched. He still looks so young and preserved just like the flower he gifted to Hyunjin.

Minho named this house to Hyunjin after their divorce. He couldn't let anyone take it as it was his gift for his ex husband anyways. "I'm home, Yeobo." Minho took the ring out from his pocket and kneeled right infront of Hyunjin. "Did you wait too long?"

Slipping the ring back to Hyunjin's finger, it's original place, Minho sat down beside his ex husband and intertwined his fingers with Hyunjin's.

Minho looked out at the sea, the sea that Hyunjin loves so much. Glancing on his wrist, it's already starting to turn blue. His vision slightly blurring and something that feels like thorns invading his throat.

Minho finally perfected and used the Hanahaki Disease to himself with some tweaks. Even though he is married to Jisung, he made his own version of the disease rely not on marriage and vows but his thoughts alone.

So when he thinks of Hyunjin, his blue rose will bloom at a fast rate. Two minutes was all it took for Minho to look young once again. His eyes closed as he smiled, tightening his grip on Hyunjin's hand as they both sat right infront of a beautiful view.

Soon, the thorns took over Minho's heart as well and finally reunited with Hyunjin who he wanted to be with from beginning to end.

-THE END-

Hi guys! Thank you so much for reading Hanahaki. It is my favorite short story book in my drafts. I know we all feel sorry for Jisung especially at the end but I am here to remind you guys, never feel pity for mistresses and for cheating. It is not a great practice and you will only hurt the person you really love. It's only a phase and no matter what you do, your love for the original is always more than the second one.
