Twin Flames: A Forbidden Love

✨End✨

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a soft, golden glow across the city as Taehyung and Min-seo sat on the balcony of her apartment. The air was cool but not cold, the soft hum of the city below creating a calming backdrop. Min-seo leaned into Taehyung, feeling the steady rhythm of his breathing as she rested her head against his chest. This was her favorite time of day—when the world slowed down, and it was just the two of them, wrapped in the warmth of each other's presence.

It had been a few months since she had made her choice, and the whirlwind of emotions that followed had finally settled into a comfortable, quiet happiness. There was no more doubt or fear lingering in the corners of her heart. She knew she had made the right decision, and every moment she spent with Taehyung only reaffirmed that truth.

As they sat in silence, watching the colors of the sunset melt into twilight, Min-seo reflected on how far they had come. It hadn't been easy. Choosing Taehyung had meant more than just following her heart—it had meant navigating the pain of hurting Jaehyun, someone she cared deeply for. But in the end, it had been the only choice. Taehyung was the steady presence she needed, the calm in the storm of her emotions. He didn't demand anything from her, didn't push her to be anything other than herself. With him, she felt safe, loved, and most importantly—free.

Taehyung broke the silence first, his voice low and thoughtful. "You've been quiet," he said, glancing down at her with a soft smile. "What's on your mind?"

Min-seo smiled back, her fingers absentmindedly tracing small patterns on his hand. "Just thinking about everything. About us."

"Us, huh?" Taehyung's eyes sparkled with a playful warmth. "That sounds like serious thinking."

"It is," she teased, nudging him lightly. "But in a good way. I'm just... really happy, Taehyung. I didn't think I could feel this way, not after everything."

Taehyung's expression softened, and he pulled her closer, his arm wrapping protectively around her shoulders. "I'm happy too, Min-seo. More than I can put into words."

She felt her heart swell at his words, her love for him blooming like never before. "Do you ever think about how different things would have been... if I had chosen differently?" she asked, not out of regret but curiosity.

Taehyung paused for a moment, his gaze drifting out toward the horizon. "I do, sometimes. But I try not to dwell on it. I know it wasn't easy for you, and I know Jaehyun made it difficult. But I also believe that we were always meant to find our way to each other." He turned back to her, his eyes filled with sincerity. "I don't think it would've worked out any other way."

Min-seo smiled, comforted by his words. There was something about the way Taehyung always knew exactly what to say to put her at ease. He never demanded answers or asked her to relive painful memories. He simply accepted her—every part of her.

The sound of a soft knock on the door interrupted their moment. Min-seo sat up, surprised. "Are we expecting anyone?" she asked, glancing at Taehyung.

He shook his head, equally confused. "No. Let me check."

As Taehyung rose to answer the door, Min-seo felt a flutter of nerves. It had been months since she'd last seen Jaehyun. He had distanced himself after their conversation in the café, and though she had missed him, she understood why he needed space. She had chosen his brother, after all—the one person he had always been closest to.

But when Taehyung opened the door, Min-seo's heart skipped a beat. It was Jaehyun.

He stood in the doorway, his hands shoved deep into his pockets, his expression unreadable. But there was no hostility, no anger in his eyes. If anything, there was a quiet resolve, as if he had finally come to terms with everything.
