Epilogue: The final

Two years later

December 2025

Tete: Hello, JK, Do you need anything? We can get you something while we are on our way to your home.

Jk, no worries, bro, we are all set here! Just be here, okay. See you later.

Tete: aight!

Taehyung ended the call.

My foolish friend and cousin Taehyung married after their second honeymoon, and their baby daughter Tae-min will celebrate her first birthday next month.

Today is our second wedding anniversary, and we chose to celebrate at our Busan home. After my honeymoon with Jin, we traveled immediately to Busan to show him our future family home. I vividly recall just how wonderful his reaction was. He cried in my embrace. I told him before we became engaged the first time, This is the reason I almost stayed in Daegu. I'm working on the construction of my house alongside Yoongi and Taehyung. To be honest, I don't want to revisit those difficult memories, which caused a lot of heartache.

Life is like that: there is no beauty in glory without pain.

The guests have arrived. Namjoon and Jhope arrived first, having only been engaged for two months. Namjoon's father decided to expand the business, so they established a company in Busan, which my love and best friend Jimin managed. Namjoon assumed his father's post as CEO in Seoul. Woozi took over as COO, and Jhope continued to serve as Namjoon's executive assistant and adviser.

Sehun and Dr. Ken arrived second, two years into their relationship, still preoccupied with their respective professions. Sehun and Kai's accounting firm is growing and becoming well-known for providing outstanding service to their clients, while Kai is currently in London enjoying quality time with his partner Taemin.

They were followed by Yoongi and Woozi still friends with benefits; scared to commit maybe they were traumatized by our many dramas and dilemmas back then, but they are my true heroes. Yoongi may be irritating at times, though. I adore this man. He is our company's top engineer. A year after my wedding, I became the interim CEO; my father was constantly busy caring for my twins with my mother. He took this decision on his own since, one day, I will be in control of our firm.

I tried to stop my husband from working because I could take care of them; but he made me realize that even though we are married, we need to grow as individuals and pursue our aspirations. However, we never forget our responsibilities to each other or the children. Our home base is in Busan, and we travel to Seoul as needed.

Of course, the nuisances in our married life will always be present on important occasions. Taehyung and Jimin are with their nanny, who is carrying their baby girl, Taemin.

Taehyung formally took over his father's position in our company following his wedding. They live in Seoul and travel to Busan whenever Jimin's presence is required. They chose to stay with us in Busan because our mansion can accommodate four families.

That arrangement was in favor of Jin and me so that the cousins Taemin, Jungwon, and Sunghoon could grow up together.

Daddy, Daddy! Up up, please! The twins are vying for Jungkook's attention.

Where is your papa? Asked Jungkook.

Here, I am. Seokjin answered.

Clad in a stunning blue and golden brown silk dress shirt and black pants, he once again captures his husband's attention.

They all proceeded to the dining room and joyously shared the delicious food they had prepared for that special night.

This evening is not only a celebration of our anniversary but also of our relationship with the people who helped us reach such tremendous joy. People who have stood by us through good and hard times. Despite our accomplishments, we must look back and seek forgiveness from those we have wronged, and we must forgive those who have hurt us, such as Mingyu and Wonwoo, in order to move forward.
