The Elven Kingdom is filled with celebration as Namjoon places the golden crown on King Kangjoon's head. The people shout and cheer as they welcome a new era. Firecrackers spark throughout the capitol as the people celebrate their new King.

"Long live the King!" The elven people cheer as their King walks out of the castle to greet them.

Many children run up to their new King and give him the flowers they have picked. He smiles and kneels in front of them to accept their precious gifts.

"Stay healthy." A child smiles as she hands her bundle of wildflowers to the King.

"Thank you." Kangjoon smiles and pats the child's head.

When the sun sets, fireworks fly into the sky and ignite the night sky with vibrant colors as the people continue to celebrate. As the festivities continue throughout the night, Namjoon and Seokjin stand on their balcony and watch the happy people celebrate.

"I wondered if we would return." Seokjin hums as he leans against his husband's bare chest.

"Me too." Namjoon whispers and pecks his husband's neck. 

"Did you miss your home?" Seokjin quietly asks as he tilts his head to give his husband more access to his neck.

"The only time I missed my home was when we were separated. You are my home." Namjoon lovingly responds and caresses his husband's body.

"Me too." Seokjin smiles and presses a kiss on Namjoon's cheek.

"I love you so much." Namjoon whispers and slides his hands beneath his husband's white silk shirt.

"I love you too." Seokjin hums and arches his lithe body as his husband lovingly touches him.

"Catch it!" Jimin shouts as he chases the lantern he released too soon. His shouts draw Namjoon and Seokjin's attention as they look down at the courtyard where the others are celebrating.

As Jimin jumps up to catch the lantern, Zahra grabs it for him and hands the lantern to him with a smile.  "Thank you!" Jimin cheers as he holds his lantern.

Yoongi fondly smiles as he watches Jimin carefully hold onto the lantern. "Look! It is so pretty." Jimin coos as he shows his lover his lantern.

"It is." Yoongi hums and wraps Jimin in his arms. 

When the King's lantern floats into the sky, everyone releases their lanterns, filling the night sky with warm, flickering light. Jimin's eyes widen in awe as he watches the beautiful sight. As their lantern floats away, Yoongi nestles his face in Jimin's hair and breathes in his lover's soft scent.

"Wow! Look!" The children gasp as Jungkook summons little, floating shadows.

When the shadows float away, the children chase them with giggles. Jungkook and Taehyung fondly watch as the children run around with happy smiles. "They are so happy." Taehyung hums and wraps his arms around Jungkook.

"They are." Jungkook smiles and kisses Taehyung's soft lips.

As Hoseok fondly watches his little brother, Soohyuk walks over to him and stands beside him. "How are you feeling?" Soohyuk asks Hoseok as he watches the children run around.

"Happy. Taehyung is healthy and happy." Hoseok smiles and leans against the tree he is standing next to.

"Would you allow me to visit you at the nest?" Soohyuk quietly asks as he admires the beautiful, ruby-red dragon.

"Sure." Hoseok hums with a grin and walks away to calm down his fluttering heart.

"They are flirting," Taehyung whispers to Jungkook.
