Ugliest Professor [NamJin]

XXXV. Epilogue

Old and frail, SeokJin sat on his favorite red wooden rocking chair.  It's red paint was chipping away from its many years of use.   A second chair was placed on the other side of a small, white side-table.  Namjoon's spirit sits there whenever Jin goes outside, or at least that's what he believes.

A small book sat in his lap; a plastic tote filled with more of these books sat on the porch beside him.  The books contained not words, but memories.  All of those Polaroids he'd accumulated over the years were stored in these very books.

Jin had not dared to touch these precious photo albums after Namjoon's death.  It was simply too painful.  But today, he wanted to take a walk down memory lane, starting with the very first album.  With weak, skinny fingers, the elder man slowly opened the photo album...

The best day of SeokJin's life was the day he got married to Kim Namjoon.  Jin gently grazed his finger over their figures in the photo, admiring the youthful beauty in the picture.  He smiled at the memory of his extremely informal wedding.  David and Goliath... he chuckled before turning his attention to the next photo.

Their first Halloween together was quite fun.  They had Hoseok to thank for that, for he forced the married couple to dress up in ridiculous costumes for a Halloween party.  Jin giggled, remembering how much he hated that pumpkin hat.  He coughed hoarsely after laughing, and then decided to turn the page.
