Jungwoo's hospitalized recovery was complete, and he would finally be allowed to leave and finish his recovery at home. Lucas had signed all the paperwork and the others were all waiting downstairs.

Sure enough, as the wheelchair holding Jungwoo finally exited the building, there stood Jaehyun, Taeyong, Renjun, Hansol, and Kyungsoo, who cheered upon his arrival. Taeyong and Renjun rushed up first to hug him, causing Jungwoo's beautiful never-ending smile. All the while, through hugs and gifts, Lucas never let go of his hand.

They had brought two cars, Taeyong's and a rental. Taeyong drove his car, with Jaehyun in the passenger seat and the couple in the back. The remaining rode in the rental car, driven by Hansol. During the ride, they discovered the ages of all their new friends. From oldest to youngest, it was: Kyungsoo, Hansol, Taeyong, Jaehyun, Jungwoo, Lucas, and Renjun.

Arriving back at his home, Jungwoo smiled widely as he was helped out of the car by Lucas. Everyone invaded their living room, taking a seat until one had to sit on the ground. As much as he wanted to celebrate and party with everyone, there was no denying that Jungwoo was still injured and tired. So, also making room for the people on the floor, Lucas brought his fiancé into their bedroom, very neatly sitting him down on the bed.

Jungwoo felt warm as Lucas' hand trailed up and down his face and neck, pausing at his collarbone. His eyes widened in shock. "This is what he did to you?" Lucas began checking the rest of his body, lifting up his shirt and scanning his thighs. Jungwoo giggled.

He sighed, burying his face in his hands as guilt ate him up inside. Noticing, Jungwoo pulled him into a tight embrace, unintentionally hurting his torso in the process.

Content, Lucas pulled away, helping Jungwoo get comfortable in the bed. Once he was, Jungwoo felt a pair of arms gently wrap around his torso.

"What are you doing?"

"I haven't held you in a week. I need to recharge."

Jungwoo smiled. "I love you."

And so, Lucas held him as if he would fall if he didn't.

Jungwoo was amused with the other. Despite having gone through what he did, he found it easier to cope now since he's been reunited with his love.

Lucas must've been tired from staying up with him at the hospital, as Jungwoo could now feel his chest rising and falling calmly and no more rustling was heard.

Yes, he could admit the he held guilt himself. It was his own fault he was taken and it was his own fault that he was separated from Lucas for so long. Jungwoo ought to be thankful that Lucas loved him enough to be willing to level with a serial kidnapper for his sake. Another reason to love him so much.

Jungwoo currently lived in bliss. Regardless of the physical pain he would feel, he would always have Lucas. He stared down at the diamond ring on his finger, appreciating that it wasn't taken.

For the rest of my life...

His hopeful thoughts were cut off by his overwhelming of sleep, allowing both himself and Lucas to be at unconscious peace.

should I write a fluff chapter next?

I'm kinda eager to get this book finished, as I didn't really like my sequel. If it's requested enough, then there will be two more chapters including the bonus (fluff).

If any more chapters are requested after that point, I'll see what I can do.

Have a nice day! I hope you enjoyed! >//////<
