A Memories Tale

Memories

The old man was sat on the veranda of his home, a vast wilderness stretched out as far as his aged eyes could see. He rocked on the rocking chair as he thought back to the life he had led with his partner. The person he had loved since his teenage years who was sadly no longer with him anymore.

They had met by chance after auditioning for a singing band, and had been a big hit for many years, along with five other members.

He had brought this farm with his earnings from his albums, and when he had retired from singing, after getting too old, he and his husband had moved out here for a quiet life. They had adopted a couple of kids who were now grown up with kids of their own and they had lived their lives happily.

He looked up at the starry sky, wondering if his husband was looking down on him, he was sad since he left him, but the cancer had been too advanced and they had found it too late. A small tear fell from his eye and he wiped it away fiercely, remembering the promise he had made his Taebear. A promise that he wouldn't cry for him, that he would live on, and carry on with his life in his memory.

His phone rang, bringing him out of his reminiscing. He picked it up and pressed answer.

"Papa, its Eon Tae...Are you doing ok?"

"Hello sweetheart, I'm ok, I'm sat on the veranda, looking at the stars, what are you up too?"

"Oh papa, are you thinking about pappy again?"

"You know me sweetie. I just miss him."

"Do you want me to come see you?"

"No, sweetie, you have your own things to do, I'll be ok just here."

"Papa?"

"Really, you get on with your thing. I'm going to head to bed soon, goodnight sweetie."

"Papa?"

"Give my love to the kiddies please, I miss you all. Goodnight." He hung up the phone, fighting back the tears that threatened.

He loved that his daughter called him every night to check on him, she had a lot of his partner in her.

Sighing, he picked up his walking stick and eased himself up of the chair, slowly walking into his home he walked to his kitchenette and poured himself a drink, gulping it down he placed the empty glass in the sink and made his way to his downstairs bedroom. Removing his glasses he pulled down his cover and sat in his bed and placed his stick at the side of his bed, he eased his legs into the cool sheets and covered himself over, not bothering to change his clothes. He closed his eyes and dreamed of a simpler time, a time when he had a love he could call his own.

"This is beautiful Kookie...Look how much land we have, we could raise animals, a family, whatever we like here."

"But Tae'...a farm?"

"And what's wrong with a farm? Have you forgotten where I came from?" Tae' said his arms crossed over his chest.

"Of course not babe, but I'm not sure this is really me." Jungkook replied honestly.

"Just give it a chance, you'll love it." Tae said excited.

"Ok I'll try, anything for my husband." He pulled him towards him and kissed him passionately.

A knock sounded on the screen door. A short stubby woman was stood there a tasty looking pie in her hands.

Tae answered and her eyes went straight from his handsome face to his toned abs, which were showing prominently through his skinny top. He was sure he heard her mumble the word 'shame' to herself.

"Oh hello, I heard a new couple had just moved in here, is your wife about?

"No but my husband is." Tae smiled politely and inwardly grinned as she flustered at his comment.

In Korea, it had only recently become legal for same sex couples to marry, and a lot of people were still against it. He turned to face behind him and putting on his best sweet voice called out to Jungkook.

"Bunny?"

"What is it tiger?"

Bounding over he placed his hands around Tae's waist and over his crotch, whilst looking at the woman.

"Oh hello darling, what can we do for you, would you like to come into our boudoir?"

The woman's eyes widened and she became more flustered.

"Oh no, no, I won't bother you. I just wanted to welcome the new couple to the area... I'll be going now." And with that she thrust the pie in Tae's hands and rushed away, tripping slightly as she went.

Tae closed the door and looked at Kookie, they burst out laughing. They never got tired of that, seeing people's reactions to their relationship.

"How about we dig into this then go to bed?" Tae questioned Jungkook.

"Sounds like a plan, it does look tasty."

"Hm. That's not all that looks tasty." Tae' growled at Jungkook.

"Behave, Mr Kim."

"Why should I?" He replied sticking his tongue out.

"Jungkookie likes that tongue. Come here."

"No, I'm going to eat." Tae said walking away, pie in hand. Making Jungkook groan at the bulge that had developed in his lower region.

"Wait for me." Jungkook called and followed after him.
