You Are Mine - Taekook Love Story.

38 - Epilogue.

Kookie shifted from one foot to the other, glancing around nervously but at the same time, excitedly. This is definitely not the first art exhibition that he had done but this one was quite special for him.

This is the first one for which his husband would be attending.

Taehyung was not late and Kookie was sure he would not get late either. If anything, he was sure that Taehyung must be just outside the venue already, waiting patiently till the time he was told to come.

Kookie's was checking up on some final touches with the curator when he heard someone calling his name. He turned to the side of that voice and saw Yoongi coming towards him with a bouquet of flowers.

"Hey!" Yoongi called softly as he gave the bouquet to Kookie. "Congradz man!"

"Thanks Yoongi." Kookie accepted it and flashed a bright smile to the other man.

"Am I late?"

"Nope, you're just in time."

"Where's Jimin?"

"He was somewhere around here.." Kookie looked around until he saw Jimin who was already walking towards them. "There he is."

"Hi baby." Yoongi greeted his fiance with a quick peck.

"Hi. I thought you might get late." Jimin said with a smile and Yoongi chuckled a bit at that.

"Nuh.. I got Lee to cover for me. Wouldn't miss this for the world." Yoongi replied as he put a hand on Kookie's shoulder while the later gave a shy smile.

"Oh Kookie.. Taehyung is just outside. Should we call him? I think it's time."

"Yeah.. I'll get things started."

Kookie looked around to catch the eye of his talented curator and gave a nod. The girl gave a radiant smile back and  walked towards the little podium that was set and got on to that.

"Uh.. hello everyone, thank you for coming to the art exhibition of one of the prominent painters of this era. Mr Kim Jungkook, the stage is all yours, sir."

With that, the girl stepped to the side and Kookie got on to the podium. He looked around at the small crowd there, some were familiar faces and some were not.

"Welcome everyone. My name is Kim Jungkook. Thank you for your interest regarding my humble collection and I hope you all would have an evening worth you time. This exhibition is named as 'The Sunshine To My Darkness' and it's dedicated to my lovely husband, Kim Taehyung."

Kookie already saw Taehyung came and stood near Jimin and Yoongi. Jin, Namjoon, Hoseok and his wife Seolhyun were with him too. He locked eyes with his husband and was rewarded with an soft smile.

"He is my inspiration and my strength. He is my muse and in a minute, you will be able to see why I would say that. He is definitely the sunshine that lighted up the darkness in my world. Without further ado, let me welcome my husband to declare this exhibition open."

Kookie got down from the podium and walked towards Taehyung, who had his hand stretched forward for Kookie to hold.

"Hi baby." Taehyung said in his beautiful deep voice and Kookie instantly felt his nervousness vanish. If Taehyung is here with him, everything else will be ok.

"Hi. Are you ready?"

"You bet. Let's get this show started, shall we?"

Kookie led Taehyung near the main door where a red tape was restricting the entrance. Kookie handed over an elegant scissor to Taehyung who used it to cut the tape, making the exhibition open for public viewing.

They walked in first, followed by their friends and others. Kookie stopped after taking few steps and let Taehyung walk alone. He stood back in anticipation of what Taehyung's reaction is going to be, when he finally see the paintings.

Taehyung gasped in surprise as he look at the walls in front of him. They were all covered with paintings which are unmistakably, portraits of his own. His laughing face, his thinking face, his pouting face and even faces that he can't name, adorned the walls on all sides.

Taehyung had seen some of Kookie's paintings but Kookie had kept some hidden from him. Kookie said it was a surprise and asked him not to go look for them, which of course Taehyung agreed to.

Taehyung suddenly felt two hands wrapping around his waist. A head rested on his shoulder and Taehyung gently raised a hand to affectionately ruffle his husband's hair a bit.

"Do you like it?" Kookie's voice sounded so happy and Taehyung couldn't help but smile at that childlike question. Does he even have to ask that?

"I love it. Thank you, baby." Taehyung answered and turned in his husband's hold to look at his face. They both had a soft smiles on their faces. They looked at each other for few seconds before leaning forward to kiss.

A kiss that had the promise of a happily ever after..
