Epilogue

"But appa! Papa said there are aliens on Earth. Then why did teacher say I make good stories?He didn't trust me. Can you and papa tell him? Alsjeblieft (please)?"

Hyungju, our first born and almost six now, was quite voluble when it came to any extraterrestrial matter. His inquisitiveness literally had no boundary when any segment of space appears in any kind of conversation.

"He also said we can't go to Sun. But papa said he'll take me there when I grow up!"

It was difficult to make someone of his age understand something which appears to be weird concepts on Earth. We didn't throw all the information about the other part of his identity on him, because it was our mutual decision to move forward gradually towards it. Maybe that's why Jungkook never talked about his planet directly to him but the hints dropping was not helping to keep the big secret till they're of age either it looked.

"Oh my schatje (sweetie), did papa not tell you that if you tell others about the magic then it'll never happen?"

His eyes widened after hearing me. Yep. Magic it was for him.

"Oh nee! (Oh no) I forgot!! What will happen now!"

He looked concerned when he realised his mistake. I felt bad. I didn't want to him to panick!

"maak je geen zorgen (don't worry), gwiyeomdung-i (cutie), it's alright for once but," I made a cone shape with both of my hands and whispered the later words, " don't repeat it again, arrasseo (okay)?"

"Oké! (okay) appa!"

He vigorously nodded his head while I ruffled his black, beautiful curls with a smile which he gracefully returned and hugged me.

"Can I watch space ninjas now jebal?! (Please)"

"Have you completed your homework?"

"Ja! (Yes)"

I pretended to think with fingers on my chin.

"Hmmm does Hyungie deserve to watch his favourite cartoon today?"

"Please appa~~", he whined while rubbing his palms together.

"Alright alright you can"

How could I possibly say no to that face! It's a trap I must say.

Things were going well. Nothing had appeared to be too fishy to bring disturbance in our peaceful life. I looked out of the window of our living room. The calm weather seemed to echo the tranquility that had settled over our lives in the five years since that fateful day on Pulvis Stella.

I only wished Jungkook to be here with me. But I couldn't let him ignore his responsibilities as the king of the place he belonged to. Though most of the time it was either Namjoon and Yoongi who were in-charge of all the responsibilities in Jungkook's absence there.

Jungkook never wanted to be the king , telling he was definitely not fit for the role and also it'd take so much time away from spending time with his family. But that's how the prophecy was which thanks to Gemma, we got to know the rest of later.

Turned out the monster only had revealed crucial part of the prophecy which I needed to be aware of but there was a lot more. All the information was from the book Gemma found out that was kept hidden from everyone. Even Jiaheng wasn't aware of that.

She kept apologizing even when there was blood oozing out of her mouth on her death bed. And I could never forget that. She told me it was never her intention to hurt Hyungju but it was necessary to get that dagger from Jiaheng and blood from the chosen child.

Sometimes I felt guilty. Because she had to endure so much partially because of me even though Jungkook made me understand it was definitely not my fault in any way. She's forgiven and I hoped she would do the same if she got hurt in any way by me. I still miss her truly and think of her being here with us when we're having good life.
