It had been four months. Everynight she cried herself to sleep only thinking why it had to be taehyung out of all? Everyday passed, and she only missed him more and more.
She got up from her bed and sat, burying her face in the palm of her hands.
"don't cwy" a soft voice made her breath hitch. Jay stood besides her. Before he climbed up on her lap.
"I miss dawwy (daddy) too." he said to her with such innocence and she immediately embraced him in her arms. She loved him like her own. She loved him like taehyung would want her to.
That night, she decided to live for him. To live and bring him up like a gentleman. To make him what taehyung would be proud of.

It was 5 pm, jisoo put Jay to sleep as it was his nap time and the door knocked. She tucked him in and reached for the door.
She froze as she saw a soilder standing in front of her door. She gulped in fear but she knew she had to be strong for Jay's sake now. Not all of them are bad. She tried to make herself calm.
"miss jisoo? "the man asked. And she nodded carefully.
"we are sent by one of our officers. He told us to let you know that he wants to see you. "
A frown appeared on her forhead. "I'm sorry but can I know why? And who? "she asked. She didn't have anything to do with the military.
"Mr. Kim Taehyung. We have orders from him. " he explained and she felt a frozen jolt down her spine. Here legs trembled as she paused before speaking again. "is this some kind of a joke? "she managed to say. Her heart felt like it'd rip out of her chest.
"excuse me? "he looked at her blankly.
"Taehyung had died months ago." she told him. She didn't want to hope again, she didn't want to lose what Jay had sparked in her. A sense of responsibility. A hope to stay alive.
"there is some sort of misunderstanding. Please come with me and see for yourself. " he told her and all of the sudden she felt scared. She felt scared to be hopeful and then lose it all at once. All over again. When she didn't even heal from it.
She nodded and checked in on Jay who was sleeping peacefully and then headed out with the soilder. The whole ride she was quiet, quiet like she didn't know how to speak. When the vehicle stopped and she was asked to get out of it.
"please follow me. "said the soilder and she did exactly. He took her inside a building where they're were military officials everywhere. And stopped outside a door. "you may go in, he's inside. " he told her and her legs trembled as she reached for the door.
Anxiety took over her as she stepped in and her eyes lingered on a man in a uniform who stood with his back facing jisoo in front of a huge window.
It seemed like he was oblivious of her presence in the room. Not knowing what to do except try and control her rapid breathing and heart rate. Her lips curved,
"t-taehyung? "she whispered and he immediately turned around. Her heart slowed down to the point where it felt like it would stop beating.
He was there. He was standing In front of her. He was alive. For a minute she felt like she was in a dream but when he stepped closer she could feel her eyes filling with tears she was so overwhelmed by everything that she didn't know how else to relax.
No questions, no answers. No words, nothing. She knew what she wanted she knew, even if the whole freaking world was offered to her right now, she'd pick him a thousand times over and over again.
"are you going to kiss me or what? " she said surprisingly calmly and he looked at her a bit surprised before he finally leaned in and pressed his lips gently into hers. Her arms instantly wrapped around his neck. And his lips moved softly against her with a little more passion than before. She smiled between the kiss and drew away only far enough so she could look into his eyes. Those were his eyes.
Her heart rejoiced with happiness, "do you remember when you told me that you were in love with me? " she asked quietly. Eyes fixed into his. She didn't blink for a minute as if he'd disappear if she did.
He looked at her like she needed to be looked at, the way only he could. "yes. " he answered.
"I'm in love with you too. Truly, madly, deeply.. I'm in love with you. " a tear rolled down her cheek.
"jisoo " he lifted his thumb and caressed her cheek gently. Tears shone in his eyes. "Stay with me. Stay with me forever. I promise you won't be dissapointed. " he looked into her eyes and she answered by crashing her lips on his again. And he pulled her closer to her, holding her in his strong arms. That night he asked her to marry him. And she without any hesitation said, "yes. "
She realised that life doesn't give second chances to everyone. And life isn't always this unfair. She realised all her suffering ,all her pain finally led him to the bestest thing in her life. And that was her husband. Kim taehyung.

Later she came to knew that the man who they mistook with taehyung was a colleague of his. Who mistakenly wore taehyung's uniform and In it they found jisoo's sketch that taehyung had drawn 5 years back. Be always kept it with him. And those four months he was in Japan to give training to the soilders.
And when he found out about Jay's adoption he couldn't be more happier. He and his little "perfect " family finally were together and happier than they could've ever been.
Starting from the camps to bearing such hate for eachother. To falling in love and being seprated. From hoping to getting married with the wrong woman to being able to feel love again and having to let go. To horrible, terrible months apart from eachother to a miraculous Fate.
Fate. He smiled lowly. It's all about fate. They both became the firm believers of "whatever is meant to be yours will always find its way to you."
Taehyung looked heavenwards, thanking the lord above for working everything out for them,
"Taehyung? " he got out of his little trance.
"hmm? "he asked his beautiful wife. She glowed under the moonlight.
She sighed and stood beside him and intertwined her arm with his resting her head on his shoulder.
"let's go on a date." she whispered to him.
