Tally Marks- soulmate au

Chapter Sixteen: End

A month passed, and then two and soon, the seasons were flying past, days melted together, and nights became a blurred painting. As the days turned to weeks, the weeks turned to months and soon, the months had turned into a year. Junhui and Wonwoo were still together and Seungkwan was still trying to lowkey hit on Hansol, but was struggling because, as it turns out, the guy was completely oblivious. Within that year, Seungcheol had become their official head of marketing and was in charge of making sure people knew about their company. And he was pretty good at it because they were raking in customer’s left and right. It also helped that Junhui and Wonwoo had basically created their own brand of clothing. They were designing and making their own clothing when they weren’t doing alterations or creating outfits for those who needed them. They had begun selling their own original clothing  and that had surely brought in a lot of customers. Their small corner shop company had grown into something much bigger, just within a year. They were all shocked by the progress they had made, but took it gladly.

And with all this process they were making, another year had passed. Seungkwan had finally gotten Hansol to go out with him, turns out that Hansol was bisexual and pretty open to going out with Seungkwan. Their company continued to grow and within this short 2 year span of opening, they were able to move to a bigger building, a more professional building.

Soon, 5 years had passed and they had seen the leaves of Autumn fall as the time passed by them. They had found out that Seungkwan and Hansol were soulmates, unsurprisingly. Seungkwan still continued to work for Wonwoo and Junhui, but Hansol quit his job at the coffee shop to work at the one in the same building that Seungkwan worked in so that they could see each other more often. Year 4 was really hard on Wonwoo and Junhui because their kitty had died. They spent the week wrapped up in each other's arms and had completely skipped out on going to work. But eventually they had to get over it and move on with their lives, after all, they did have a growing company to run.

Then 5 years turned to 10. Time really did fly past them. It was insane to think that they had been together for 10 years. Not only that, but their company was actually becoming a success, they had become one of the number one fastest growing companies in New York. It was completely mind blowing to think about. All of their dreams are coming true. Everything they hoped for and dreamed for.

By year 18 Wonwoo and Junhui had called off their relationship. They had realized that being together was hindering their ability to find their actual soulmates and neither of them wanted to live a life where they were causing the other to be restricted. But they didn’t completely call everything off, they still worked on a company together, and occasionally, when they wanted to, they would have sex together to relieve some of their tension and stress. It was a good time anyway, after 18 years together, everything they did together was mechanical and began to lack the passion they once had. It was a peaceful breakup, no hard feelings, no tears, just growing apart. But they were both happy because 18 years is a long time to be in a relationship, it certainly was the longest relationship Junhui had ever been in. In order to respect this break up, they had each decided to buy their own places. Considering how fast their company was growing, they each had the money to buy fairly nice houses. Of course, they weren't mansions, but they were perfect for each individual. There was no awkwardness between the two considering they were still best friends and business partners, but they were fine with how everything was going.

Civil rights movements had been spreading like wildfire at around 20 years. Junhui, Wonwoo, Seungkwan, Hansol, and Seungcheol had all taken part in these movements. There were even a few gay pride parades. They were happy that they were finally getting some representation in the community. Junhui had even been able to go on a few public dates with some guys he had meet at bars or coffee shops. Of course there was still a lot of prejudice against the LGBTQ community, but they were glad that progress was being made.

Both Junhui and Wonwoo had subconsciously quit smoking while they were together. Which was good because doctor reports started coming out about how much damage smoking can do to your health.

And as the years speed by, their company never stopped growing. By 1978 Ours had become the largest fashion company in the world. Just 30 years after they opened and they made it to the top. They now had a building that reached the sky and it had way too many floors to count. There were floors for design, production, photography, marketing and so many more. They had been able to hold their own fashions shows and even had models that were specifically signed to their company. Junhui and Wonwoo were so proud of themselves for making it this far. Junhui had finally accomplished something in his life and he finally felt like his life was worth something. Their company had even gone international, they had buildings and stores all across the world. People loved their designs and they just kept bringing in customers.

They were so happy with everything they had accomplished, and despite all their ups and downs, they were still thriving. And even through all of this, they never forgot about Joshua, because there were still people like him out in the world. But now that they owned the top fashion company in the world, no one dared to attack them for their sexuality. Everything was perfect. The only thing missing were their soulmates.
