Chapter 27: Epilogue

After one year.

Jungkook is in the kitchen, humming softly as he plates their food.

Taehyung watches him from the couch, a book resting in his lap.

Everything is quiet.

Everything is good.

Jungkook turns, setting the plates on the table. “Hyung, dinner.”

Taehyung closes his book, standing.

He walks over, hugged Jungkook and kisses his forehead, then sits down across from Jungkook.

Jungkook grins. “You’re learning.”

Taehyung tilts his head. “Learning what?”

Jungkook smirks. “How to be human.”

Taehyung scoffs, picking up his chopsticks. “I was always human.”

Jungkook hums. “Maybe.”He leans forward. “But now, you’re.”

Taehyung pauses.

Then he smiles.

Soft. Barely there.

But real.

“Yeah,” he murmurs “I am.”
