Mark Me

Epilogue

<><>

Jaemin is startled when his bedroom door is slammed open. He turns from his desk and raises a brow at his daughter. "Minji? What's wrong baby?"

"D-dad..." She runs into her father's arms, crying loudly. "Yemi s-said that I w-would never find m-my soulmate w-with a face like m-mine." She cries into her dad's shoulder, hugging him tightly. Jaemin narrows his eyes in anger and carefully combs his fungers through his daughter's hair.

"Why on earth would she said that?"

"I- I don't k-know. Is w-what she said t-true?"

Jaemin widens his eyes in disbelief and pulls his daughter up to face him. "Goodness honey no, of course that isn't true. You are a beautiful girl and don't let any single person tell you differently. Secondly, she's lying. Because everyone finds their soulmate, and I bet yours will be a great person who will love you endlessly. No, I know your soulmate is like that." He kisses Minji's forehead and smiles down at her. "Do you believe me?"

"Y-yeah..." Minji sniffs and wipes her tears.

"Good. And if she ever messes with you again, just tell her that you have 2 big older brothers who are willing to stand up for you." He squishes her cheeks.

"Right! I have my brothers to protect me!"

"That's my girl! Now how about you go wash your hands and head into the kitchen. You can help me make dinner, but I need to talk to your papa first, alright?" Minji nods and runs off out of the room. Jaemin smiles at his 10 year-old daughter's retreating figure. He stands and makes his way down the hall to the home office. He knocks and then enters, smiling when he sees his husband.

Jeno looks up and gestures for Jaemin to close the door behind him. Jaemin sits down gently. He raises a brow at Jeno's annoyed state. "Something's wrong...What happened?"

"I just got an email from Shotaro and Sungchan's teacher. They got into a fight again." He turns his computer around to show Jaemin the email.

"Seriously?"

"Those boys really need to get a talking to." Jeno groans. "They can't keep getting in fights like this."

"I know Love, I'll talk to them. I'm sure they feel bad right now for disrupting your work again but yelling won't make it any better. I'll speak to them once they get home." he stands. "I'm going to go prepare dinner, you just try to relax ok? Maybe give Mark or Yukhei a call." He smiles and kisses his husband's forehead.

"Come on little princess, papa is going to put you to bed, ok?" Jaemin points to Jeno who was standing in the doorway, a smile playing on his lips. He loved how Jaemin interacted with their kids, always so gentle and understanding.

Minji runs off to her room and Jeno is about to follow before Jaemin stops him. "You need to sleep as well baby. I'll talk to the boys." He smiles and walks off towards the twins' room, knocking gently. "Shotaro? Sungchan? It's dad. Can I come in?" A soft 'yeah' is heard and Jaemin opens the door.

He sighs as he looks at his two sons. Shotaro and Sungchan were twins, one being biological (Sungchan) and the other adopted (Shotaro). Sungchan was slightly taller, his legs always taking up more space in the car. Shotaro on the other hand, had bigger eyes, showing off his dark iris'. Other than that, they were practically the same. Same soft golden hair, similar smile, same habits. Same everything.

"Can we talk for a bit?" Jaemin sits on the edge of Sungchan's bed, gesturing for the two 15 year-olds to sit down as well. They climb onto the bed and sit criss-cross right next to each other. Knees touching. Jaemin smiles. "You boys are both so handsome..." He grabs a hand from each son before talking. "Your papa told what happened today. You got into a fight?" He raises a brow.

"Yeah..."

Jaemin laughs and shakes his head. "There is never a dull moment with you two, is there. But really you guys..." He takes a breath. "Before I start lecturing you, I want to know why. Why did you get into a fight today?"

"Well.." Shotaro starts but turns to his brother. Sungchan was always a bit stronger than Shotaro, who was more well known to be very emotional.

"Someone was bad-mouthing you dad. They said that you were useless because you can't do everything like others can. He was making fun of your disease!"

"And we just snapped. We didn't want him to insult you anymore." Shotaro finishes for his brother.

Jaemin nods. "I see...Thank you both, really. It's good to hear that you were fighting with a good mindset, and not just randomly. But still, what you did wasn't right. I know you wanted to fight back but that doesn't mean you should. And second, I've been through a lot; so I won't get affected by a bitchy teenager who I don't even know."

"Dad!"

"What? Not like I haven't heard you two curse before either." He said, laughing slightly.

"We're sorry dad..."

"We just wanted to stand up for you..."

"I know boys. I know." Jaemin slowly gets off the bed. "But no more fighting, you have to promise me that. Because if you don't, then I won't be the one talking to you." he says darkly. His sons knew exactly what he meant. Their 'papa', Jeno, was a lot less calm when it came to these things. He would give them an hour long lecture and then probably ground them for a week.

"Now you two finish your homework then go to bed. Summer break is almost here." He smiles and stands in the doorway. "Goodnight boys, I love you."

"Love you too dad." They repeat it back to him at the same time, making Jaemin giggle before closing the door. He walks down to Minji's room and leans against the doorway, arms crossed over his chest. Jeno had finally gotten their daughter to sleep.

"She sleeping?"

Jeno turns and walks to the door, closing it behind him and Jaemin. "Yeah, she's passed out." He says softly, to which Jaemin yawns in response, his eyes drooping a bit. "You look tired Love. Let's go to bed."

The younger male hums in response and gently clings to his husband as Jeno picks him up like a koala and carries him to their bedroom. He places the younger down on the bed and helps him change into some pajamas. "You're still a big baby at heart."

"Shut up and cuddle me."

"Alright, come here angel." Jeno pulls the male into his chest and the two soon drift off to sleep.
