⭐️ I Could Never Forget You | Namjin

🐨 After the cold winter ends 🐨

시린 널 불어내 본다 연기처럼, 하얀 연기처럼

말로는 지운다 해도 사실 난 아직 널 보내지 못하는데

- Spring Day

I can feel Jin staring at me as the sky settles into the light blue of daytime. Even as the sun comes into view his eyes don't wander.

Finally, he turns to me, his eyes sparkling with tears, reflecting the now-risen sun. "Namjoon." His voice cracks on my name. I prepare myself to feel the weight of his condemnation, the sting of his harsh words. All of which I deserve and more.

Instead, he just pulls me close to him and hugs me, squeezes me so tight it feels like nothing will ever be able to separate us. "I remembered everything." He whispers. My heart skips a beat the resumes in double time. He pulls away, holding me at arm's length. And . . . Your last name . . . . I want it back."

My whole body fills with butterflies as if I'm meeting him for the first time again. It feels wonderful. It was a gift from the universe that Kim Seokjin fell in love with me once, for him to fall in love with me twice makes me the luckiest man alive, no, the luckiest man who has ever lived.

The words tumble out of my mouth automatically. "Seokjin . . . we have the same last name."

He smiles and breaks into a windshield wiper-like laugh, the laugh I've missed so much. The music when my ears could only hear static. The colour when I could only see in monotone.

When he regains his breath he looks me straight in the eyes as if staring into my soul. "I know and I've always been in love with you. Ever since I met you that first time you came into the cafe and at first, I thought I fell in love with you again when I met you at the hospital but I was wrong. I was never out of love with you, I just didn't remember. That's why I never felt complete, why I could never find anyone else. I was lost without you, adrift, but I found my way home again and that's just proof . . . . So please, if you still love me like I love you . . . Marry me?"

I stare back at him, seeing into the depths of his soul, his beautiful pure soul. There's only one answer, the only answer that there's ever been.

"Yes. Yes, Kim Seokjin, the love of my life, yes I will marry you."

I pull him towards me, it's not hard because we gravitate toward each other naturally, and kiss him fiercely on the lips. We kiss for a long time, and I soak up the warmth, the touch I've been missing for the last half-decade. It's suddenly like no time has passed at all, like a long nightmare and now I've woken up to Jin by my side, right where he should be.

I hear small footsteps and hesitate to break contact.

"Appa?" Jungkook asks tugging on my sleeve impatiently. I feel myself blush.

"Ah, sorry Kook, why aren't you asleep?"

"I wasn't tired." He pouts the words, shrugging innocently

"Oh, that's okay."

He looks surprised probably because I'm usually strict about getting enough sleep but I'm too excited to scold him.

"Guess what?" I sound like a child myself.

"What Appa?"

"Jin and I are getting married!"

His eyes go wide. I don't know if he completely understands the situation but he knows weddings are a cause for excitement. He jumps up and down a few times flashing his signature bunny smile. He cuddles up with us, laying his head down with his legs in Jin's lap. I want to jump up and down but I contain my excitement.

My stomach grumbles, and so do Kook and Jin's.

"How about some breakfast?" Jin asks Jungkook, who nods eagerly. He looks at me and still not over the high I grin like an idiot. "I would like that."

"What do you say, I make the eggs today." He laughs, and so do I.

"I'll wake our kids."

For once I feel whole again and excited for the day ahead. We all head downstairs together. For the first time in a while, I know it'll be alright, better than.

(A/N: this is where I'm ending . . . for now. Namjin wedding chapter coming soon!)
