I cried writing this epilogue fyi.😂


Six Years Later

"Tae! Stop it!" I laughed while shouting at my husband as he chased the children in the backyard. I rocked the baby in my arms while holding the bottle in my hand. I couldn't stop smiling. Taehyung ran around with his arms outstretched as he chased our two older children, Jeonghyun and Jiyoo, while Minhae rested quietly in my arms.

"I'm gonna get you!" Taehyung said while the children giggled, shoving each other towards their father in an attempt to sacrifice the other to save themselves.

The backyard was a perfect size for our family of three kids, two adults, and a dog. The house was a little on the small side, but it was a great starter home for us. Our money was tight from adopting the three siblings from our local adoption agency.

I can still remember walking into the house, instantly spotting the two twins trying to feed their baby brother. We had fallen in love instantly at the site, and knew we wanted to learn more about them. Their mother died giving birth to Minhae, and their father had a terrible time coping with her death, and driving his car off of a cliff into the ocean only a few weeks after her death. The children insisted on staying together, so it was hard for them to be adopted. They had been at the orphanage for a few months when we found them. After we brought them home, we noticed the scar across Jeongyun's chest, the same scar that I have on my chest. That is when we knew they were perfect for us. We both have had a heart transplant.

"Baby! Why don't I take Minhae inside for his nap, while you stay here and watch the kids?" Taehyung appeared in front of me with a wide box smile on his face.

I took a moment to take it all in and nodded, passing our son to him. I watched as Taehyung rocked him gently while humming a soft lullaby. He continued to do this until he was inside the house and out of my sight, but I knew he was sitting in the rocking chair in the nursery, singing lullabies to him while he slept. He did it every night to all three children.

Our twins ran up to me, huffing and puffing from playing. Sweat dripped from their bows, the sun shining down rather harshly today.

"Daddy, we're hungry!"

I chuckled and nodded, messing up their sweaty mops of hair on top of their hair. "You two know the rules! Shower and get clean first, and then I will make a snack, okay?"

They nodded eagerly before skipping inside the house. I took a moment to embrace the peace and quiet of our neighborhood. It was right outside Seoul, only a few blocks away from where Namjoon and Jin finally settled down with their adopted children.

Arms wrapped around my waist, a shoulder resting on my shoulder. I leaned into the embrace, enjoying every second I get to spend in his arms.

"What are you thinking about, baby?" Taehyung left a kiss underneath my earlobe, making my head roll back slightly.

"I'm just thinking about how incredible our life is."

I heard him chuckle as he squeezed me tighter. "It turned out better than I ever would've imagined."

I hummed in agreement as my hands lay on top of his. His head lay just next to mine. We stood like this in silence for a few minutes, listening to the sounds of the birds chirping, and the kids screaming at the park a few houses down. I could faintly hear a dog barking, watching as Yeontan ran out from inside the house, accompanying the dog in the symphony of barking, making Taehyung and I chuckle.

I turned around in his atrong grip, my hands landing on his chest. He looked down at me slightly as I smiled.

"I can't begin to tell you, Tae, how thankful I am that you came into my life."

He took a deep breath and cupped my cheeks. "Baby, you are the only thing that keeps me going. You and our three beautiful children. You pushed me to become the man I am today. You motivated me to take that modeling job Gucci offered. You give me something to live for. I'm thankful for you." He gave me a long, deep kiss, my arms wrapping around his shoulders as I pulled him closer, wanting to taste every inch of him.

"Daddy! Daddy!" Jeonghyun shouted from around the corner, making Taehyung and I break off our kiss with a pout.

Taehyung cleared his throat. "What is it, Jeonghyun?"

"It's time for Runnin' Man!" He ran back inside, making the two of us adults giggle.

Taehyung faced me again and winked. "We'll wait for them to go to that sleepover with Jin-hyung and Namjoon-hyung tomorrow night and then we'll have the house to ourselves."

I giggled while pulling him closer to me again. "That doesn't mean you can't kiss me one more time now."

Taehyung threw his head back and laughed before closing the distance between us, giving a kiss that only lasted a few seconds, but that showed every ounce of our love for each other, every bit of desire. When he pulled back, his thumb stroked my cheek gently. "Baby, I love you so much. More than I think anyone could ever love another person, I love you."

I laughed again, shaking my head. "You're so cheesey sometimes."

I saw him pout, making me giggle as my thumb ran across his lower lip.

"I don't even have to say it, Tae, because you know that I do."

He pouted even more, making me unable to contain the smile on my face.

"Fine." I pecked his pouty lips, removing my arms from around him as I started to head back inside the house. "I love you too, Tae."

I heard him breath a sigh of relief before chasing after me into our home.

The End


Not my best ending but it is what it is😂

Lol I almost made Kook have schizophrenia, but I decided to save that one. Poor baby has had enough health problems for one story.

This is the end of the story, but do not give up on it yet! I will be posting some bonus chapters, which will fill the gap of the last six years! Please stay tuned for those!

Thank you all for sticking with me through the end of this story!

I have many ideas for my next Taekook story, but I haven't quite decided which one I want to focus on yet.

If you have any questions related to this story, please comment them here! I will try to clear up some of the confusion in the near future.
