Jimin was resting his head on his hands as he sat in the garden. He is still hesitant about getting married to Suga. The boy proposed to him with the hope to see him nod and say yes with a smile. But, in reality, he got teary eyes with Jimin’s reply, “I need some time to think.” He knows the doctor has said that he barely has a few months or a year at the most to live. If he can make up his mind for a highly risky surgery there is a chance. He cannot decide what to do. After seeing Jungkook’s broken state after Jiu’s death he is not sure anymore. He wants to spend the rest of his days in the arms of his beloved husband but the thought of leaving him behind is hurting him so much. He silently cried in the darkness because this dilemma was wearing him out. He could not share it with anyone, especially because both Tae and Jungkook are presently in an awkward sort of relationship and he does not want to burden them.
The silence of the garden was broken with soft footsteps coming to Jimin. He looked up to see Taehyung standing with a fluffy shawl, “Hyung, it’s still cold. Wrap it around yourself, you need to stay strong, right?” His eyes caught the wet eyelashes of his hyung who tried his best to hide his tears from Taehyung. “Hyung, you can share your problems with me. I will always help you.” Jimin was hesitant at first but then he thought it could be a nice excuse to hear out what Tae was going through as well. “Suga wants to get married as soon as possible. He said he wants to pamper me and show me what love feels like for the rest of my life. He wants to stay by me during my hard days. But I cannot make up my mind. What if he cannot get the courage to survive after I leave him? What if…” Taehyung wiped the lone tear from Jimin’s eyes, “Hyung, you never know what life has planned for you. You are lucky, Jimin hyung. You have got a person who loves you and wants you everytime. Not everybody gets that lucky. Humans crave love but only fortunate ones get to experience it. For others, it is just pure agony. You don’t need to count the days hyung, you need to count the memories. I have seen Suga Huyng's love for you. He will wait another lifetime if you ask him to. But don’t make him wait that long.”
Tae’s soft smile soothed Jimin’s anxiety. Tae was correct in every way. He also understood what Tae was going through. The pain Jungkook was giving him reflected in his words. Jimin promised himself to protect the sweet boy that he brought into this heartless Jeon mansion. He sometimes fear Jungkook too; he might know him as a good person, but after all he is the blood of Mr. Jeon, a cruel and greedy person who knows nothing but himself.
—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The midnight is a solace for an aching heart; atleast, nobody can see the tears, the sobs that hide behind a happy mask throughout the day. Tae was in his usual spot by the window. Jungkook has not returned home yet and they don’t have that sort of relationship where his husband will update him about his plans. He just stays there like other furniture in the room. He stared at the pups and smiled, pitying himself. “Atleast Jungkook affectionately asks them if they have eaten and plays with them. He deprives me of that too” Tae thought in his mind.
“Tae are you here?” Suga’s voice could be heard from outside. Taehyung readily got up, wiped his tears and put on a gentle smile before opening the door. “Hyung, is everything all right?” Suga flashed a bright gummy smile and his face lit up, which hinted that Jimin probably acted on his suggestion. “You know bear, Jimin has agreed to marry me. I can’t wait to make him my husband now. I have so many things to plan, please help me with it. Jimin is going to stay in my house in Daegu until our marriage. Do you want to come with us?” Tae’s expression changed, a genuine smile came on his face. He will get away from this prison. Even if for a few days, he will get to breathe.

Jungkook waited for the officers outside the hospital cabin. He could see Mr. Jeon lying on the hospital bed with IVs attached. He came to the hospital just to follow the protocol and wanted to leave without seeing his father. But when the nurse informed that his father was desperately looking for him before he lost consciousness, he could not stop himself from meeting his father.
He was drowned in his thoughts for hours and missed to see when his father came back to sense. The doctor informed him that he could meet his father and he did not waste a second and rushed inside the cabin. He sat down beside Mr. Jeon who looked feeble and in pain, “Son, I did not expect you to come. I know I am a filthy, greedy man and I never care for my family. But my days in prison made me realise, nothing is important on this earth, except for family.” He lifted his hand to hold Jungkook’s hand who protectively caught his father’s trembling hand. “I thought I didn't deserve to live after what I had done to you and tried to end my life. When my body went limp and I was almost losing consciousness, every cell of my body expressed their desire to live, to live with you, your mum and Jimin. My tiny, loving family.” Mr. Jeon’s tears shook Jungkook. He has never seen his father like this. He has hated his father for a long time but today he is pitying him. He sat silently as Mr. Jeon smiled and continued, “Sorry, I forgot. My family has gotten a bit bigger. Now my son has his husband, a precious gem from Daegu. How cruel and rude I was with him! I will apologise to him and give his father his property back. After all, we are in-laws now.”
Minutes passed in silence, Jungkook and Mr. Jeon both seemed to enjoy the reunion. “Father, if you promise you will never hurt my close ones, I will let you live with us.” Mr. Jeon smiled softly and replied, “Son, I will never. I don’t have many years left in my life. Now I want to take care of my family and show you my love. I know, son, it’s hard to trust me. But, just this once. I promise to protect my family from any harm.” Jungkook’s eyes teared as he hugged his father. He got up and came out of the cabin happily, “Finally, my family picture is complete. Now, everyone is in a single frame.”
