Pied Piper

Meet the parents

The sky was greyish and the wind was all breezy. Looking around, Tae clutched Jungkook's hand tight. This was too weird for him. And yes - he felt guilty about it.

"You okay baby?" Jungkook asked pulling him closer by grabbing his waist.

Tae smiled faintly and headed toward his parents' grave.

His biological parents.

Yoongi and Jay were standing in front of them offering them flowers.

Every year it was Jungkook's tradition to visit his best friend's grave but this year Tae insisted he too wanted to join. He had never visited their grave before. He had never bothered to know anything about his real parents till the truth came out.

"Tae Tae," Jay had tears in her eyes as Yoongi stood beside her with her napkin in his hand, "Look - our baby is married. He has grown up and is married - to our Kookie. I know you must think this is so weird but -"

She stopped and continued crying.

Yoongi hugged her kissing her forehead, "Hey - stop it, Jay."

Nodding her head she let Yoongi wipe her tears, "I wish you were here. You could have seen how much they love each other. I wish you both were here."

She offered flowers on Anne's grave and they walked away.

Jungkook and Tae sat on the ground on their knees and Tae saw Jungkook offering flowers - his favorite - lilies.

And then he noticed that there were many dead lilies lying around on Tae's grave. Jungkook had been coming here often with lilies for his best friend. It was so weird lilies were Tae's favorite as well - so it wasn't just the face that resembled but some choices too.

"Hello father," Tae smiled warmly, "I am sorry - I never visited you all this time. I am really sorry for being mad at you for silly reasons. But now I am here - because I - I got married, father. I got married to the love of my life - your Kookie. And my hyung. I wish you were here so I could tell you how much I love him. I really don't know how you would have reacted to it."

Jungkook smiled and held Tae's hand caressing it softly.

"So I saw - we - we look similar - I have brunette hair and you had blonde hair. That's the only difference I suppose. Well - do you know because of this face - your Kookie ran away from me in the beginning? But I got him in the end," Tae giggled and Jungkook glanced at Tae his eyes full of love, "I always knew I was gonna get him. He was mine from the beginning. Always!"

"I think the reason I was born was to give him the love that he always yearned for," Tae smiled and his eyes moved to his mother's grave, "Thank you for bringing me into this world, mother. I wish I had known you two. But - well - you don't need to worry about me. I have the best parents and the best husband. I am happy - and he is the reason for my happiness."

Jungkook realized his eyes were getting moist as he hugged Tae.

"You want to say something?" Tae asked kissing Jungkook's cheek, "I will give you some privacy."

"No - that's okay babe," Jungkook rejected but Tae insisted.

Seeing the number of flowers on the grave - Tae realised Jungkook did this very often. He left Jungkook alone and joined his parents who were sitting on a bench.

"Hyung," Jungkook blinked to stop the tears, "So - well - I am a married man. It sounds so weird - I married your son. You saw him - he is - absolutely amazing. The love that I was always looking for in your eyes - I received from him. I don't think anyone - even my parents have loved me that much. I don't know why he loves me so much. It's crazy. But - I love him too - with the same intensity. You must remember - when I started to fall for him - you were the first one I told. We are married now and so happy. I wish you were here - but I do wonder if you would have given us permission to marry or not. You always told me you were gonna be a strict dad."

Jungkook smiled and wiped the tears - his eyes hovering over Anne's grave as well.

"Thank you for everything hyung," Jungkook was on his feet and turned around to see the Mins talking, "Thank you for -"

Jungkook licked his lips and smiled thinking of his husband.

Jungkook went and back hugged Tae who smiled, "So - we are going for lunch right?"

"What lunch?" Yoongi asked yawning.

"Apppaa," Tae was annoyed, "My birthday lunch. We told you about it yesterday. Last week we were too busy so - we will do it now."

Yoongi nodded his head and began to walk.

"Fine - but Jungkook - what happened to your nose?" Jay asked staring at his face.

Tae chuckled and grabbed his mother's hand, "Let's go - this time we will try Indian?"

Jay smiled and kissed her son's cheek, "Anything my baby wants - but what happened to Kook's nose?"
