his shield

000~

EPILOGUE

Taeyong's POV

it has been four months since wonshik, jaehwan and hongbin died.

i have been the head shield for four months.

i assigned a shield with the name of hakyeon to jaehyun. he had a couple of hundred years of experience behind him and i just felt like i could trust him to keep jaehyun alive.

i wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to jaehyun.

he still means the world to me and i don't want to have to come here and deal with all the shit that happens.

it has been hard having to lead without wonshik or hongbin here to guide me.

i miss them both terribly.

there aren't any other shields which i had formed a bond with so once they left, i really didn't have anyone.

i still don't have anyone.

as wonshik instructed me, i have tried to become the best head shield.

i've changed the rules for the first time since this institution was created.

shields are allowed to fall in love. the making sure your assigned person isn't killed remains the same and as for the never being seen by your person, i'm a bit more lenient on the matter.

several times the maids have asked if i want them to clear wonshik and hongbin's rooms so they can place other shields in there but i keep turning them away.

there are plenty of other rooms so there is no need for those two rooms to be emptied.

it'll make me sound crazy but i still go into their rooms every now and then.

i feel like i can still connect with them that way.

boy, i sound insane.

i hear an all too familiar voice calling out from the main room of the institute.

i just ignore it at first but then hakyeon comes into my office and requests me assistance with the new arrival.

i get out of my chair and head into the main room and i am heartbroken when i see jaehyun standing before me.

he sees me and instantly runs into my arms.

"i knew you'd be here" he whispers and i hold onto him tightly.

"what the hell happened? i assigned one of the best shields to you" i ask him and he chuckles.

"please don't kill him. it was my fault. yes yuta was making me happy but i was really struggling without you taeyong."

"you killed yourself" i reveal softly and he nods, pulling away from me.

"now we can be together again. just like the old times."

"this is nothing like the old times jaehyun. people still die here. it is a lot harder living here then it is on mortal lands." i try to explain to him but he seems to be stuck in his bubble.

"as long as i am with you, there is nothing which i can not overcome."

it is that moment where i think, maybe i am not alone i. this world anymore.

A/N - and that is the end!! i hope you guys enjoyed this story as i have enjoyed writing it. i will miss this one, i enjoyed it in particular.

i have put quite a bit of thought into it and asked several of my friends and the next story will be a WONTAEK fanfic as i feel that i haven't done taekwoon justice and neither have i with wonshik. i don't know when it will be released as i only have a faint idea for the plot but please anticipate it.

also don't forget to check out my HYUKBIN fanfic Hurt if you haven't already.

thanks for reading and i look forward to seeing you all in the next story! <3<3
