You're All I Need | WINRINA / JIMINJEONG

Epilogue

Rays of sunlight sprawled onto the white sheets in the room, covering two figures under it. The sound of the alarm pierced through the room making the sleeping couple fumble around.

"Hmmm" Karina groaned groggily as she reached out to her phone without opening her eyes, cuddling back into Winter after turning the source of the distraction off.

Nuzzling her face into the crook of Winter's neck, Karina inhaled deeply, the scent of the former's jasmine perfume filling up her lungs.

"Win...." Karina placed a few quick pecks onto the girl's neck before sitting upright and gently pushing away the hair covering Winter's face "Wake up... You have to go to work..."

The only response she got was a soft whine and a tug to her wrist, making her fall back down onto the bed.

Or more specifically, onto Winter.

"Just a few more minutes." Winter whispered as she securely wrapped her arms around Karina's waist, pulling her closer.

"What a big baby"

******************************************************

Usually, Winter would be the one preparing breakfast for Karina but today, the latter made breakfast herself while Winter prepared to go to work. Humming a soft melody, Karina stirred the omelet in the pan, smiling when the aroma of butter filled her lungs.

As she was turning off the gas, a pair of arms wrapped around waist. If it was a few years ago, she would be startled a bit but now? She knew that it was Winter just by feeling the way her arms secure her from the back.

Nuzzling her face onto Karina's neck, Winter grinned when she heard a melodious chuckle slip out of Karina's mouth.

The girl brought one hand to her waist and placed it on top of Winter's, caressing the metallic object on the latter's finger.

Their wedding ring.

It had been 3 years since Winter proposed to her and a year since they got married. Nothing changed much between them. They were still always together from dusk till dawn. The loving stares they gave each other, the playful banters and the occasional flirting were still there.

If they had to name one change which occurred between them, it would undoubtedly be their love and affection for each other.

No, it hadn't faded. It was more like the opposite.

Their love had grown deeper as time passed and it'll continue to grow from now on.

"Hey there" Karina turned around to sensually place her arms around Winter's neck, playing with the baby hairs on the back of her neck.

"Hello" Winter dumbly smiled, connecting their foreheads together.

Their gazes on each other, none of them moving as they savored the moment. It was as if time had come to a pause, just them engulfed in each other's presence.

"When are you going to turn me into a vampire though?" Karina broke the silence, a hand cupping Winter's cheek before joking "I don't want to be an eighty year old woman married to a nineteen year old in the future"

Winter giggled at her wife's words before leaning in to place a gentle kiss onto her lips. The contact was soft yet sweet, both of them smiling like fools in love.

"Soon. I still haven't got enough of tasting your blood"

"Well then..." Karina's eyes flickered towards Winter's lips for a split second, her thumb swiping across them "Why don't you have some for breakfast?"

"Gladly" With that, Winter trailed kisses from the corner of Karina's lips to her jaw before finally reaching the crook of her neck "I'll enjoy the meal"

******************************************************

Tugging Winter's collar and giving her one last kiss before she heads off to work, Karina smiled at her, her eyes filled with adoration.

"I'm going" Winter pecked Karina's cheek and softly let go of her hand, earning a nod and a wave from the latter.

Heading off to work, a feeling of sadness wasn't present in Winter. There was a sense of longing but it was bearable.

Afterall, she knew that at the end of the day, Karina would be there with endless hugs, kisses and cuddles.

Winter was Karina's home.

And Karina was Winter's.

That will never change.
