My Moon Flower 『ᴊᴀᴇᴡᴏᴏ』

EPILOGUE

Three years later 

"Those kids!" Jaehyun muttered under his breath.

The God of Passion and Guardian of Lovers was panicking. He was searching for his kids since dawn but to no luck. He can't seem to find them inside the palace and he has until mid-afternoon to catch them. It was crucial for him to find them since they were scheduled to go down to the mortal realm at dusk.

Jungwoo will go crazy if he learns that the kids are not yet ready for the journey, he thought to himself as he sets out to the secret garden in a stride. The kids have probably occupied the jasmine garden again. They took up the hobby of watching the 'Moon Pond' as their 'mother' did when he was a single innocent god.

After a few minutes, he reached the wrought iron gates covered in ivy and pushed them open without hesitation. Immediately, he was enveloped by a heavenly exotic scent. White Yasamin. A small smile escaped his lips as the scent brought in a surge of memories when he was a mortal. 

It has been three years already since he took up his duty as the consort of the Moon God and became a father to two active demigods. Years of blissful marriage and parenthood, although there were times were he and Jungwoo would fight over small things but that was easily resolved with a bit of courtship and wooing. 

He purposely walked through the heavily scented path lined with yasamin, relieving his uneasiness along the way. When he got in the middle of the clearing, he found what he was looking for, two slim figures, shimmering while stooping near the edge of the mirrored pond.

"Kids!" Jaehyun called out as he came nearer to them. The so-called 'kids' straightened up from their spot and waved their hands to him in greeting.

"Papa! What are you doing here? Is it time already?" said the tall young boy with dark hair. 

"You know it already and both of you are still here! Your mother will nag at me again!" 

"Sorry," they both answered in unison.

"What are we watching today?" he asked as he stood beside them, looking over at the pond.

"Uncle Haechan," said the young girl with platinum white hair. 

"And what's he up to?" Jaehyun asked with curiosity.

"The usual. I think, he will finally let Mark know about his real identity." the boy replied.

"Oh! A touchy subject!" Jaehyun exclaimed.

"It is, but Uncle Ten is helping him." the girl answered with delight.

"Speaking of your Uncle Ten, let's hurry and meet with your mother. He's waiting for us, so we can all go down together."

"Fine. I want to see Grandma too! Do you think she will be able to make us that kimbap again, Papa?" the girl asked, her midnight blue eyes pleading while looking at her father.
