EPILOGUE
└─── °∘❉∘° ───┘
as the time passes by, sungni is already coping up little by little. after the trauma that was caused to him when he was a little, sungni can now communicate to anyone without any fear, but he still knows if that person deserves his kindness or not.
they have now arrived after months of vacation in chenle's hometown.
"uncle jeno!" sungni greeted happily as he saw his favorite uncle at their basketball area.
"welcome back, my favorite sungni!" jeno said happily.
"the more you closed with jeno back then is also the more they were closed to our son." chenle said, chuckling.
"i think so." jisung said and let out a chuckle.
they are already married for a years now, everything are already settled, they already bought a house here, they even secure sungni's future. they didn’t give sungni's sibling anymore, sungni is already enough for them and it was also sungni's wants. besides, if his parents give him another sibling, it would be a huge age gap.
sungni is now different compared to when he was still a kid, he's more mature now, he doesn't make things fast and make sure it would have a good result, he was an academic achiever which his parents are proud of. but the only thing that didn’t change to him is he was still clingy just like before, he's still jolly, talkative and friendly.
but when he's growing up, his parents noticed that something was strange about sungni. they noticed that sungni is more interested in boys when it comes to his lovelife. there's nothing even wrong with it, the only thing that his parents are worried about is he might end up with the guy that will just hurt him.
"our main vocalists and main rappers have finally arrived!" renjun said happily.
"mark hyung and haechan hyung are also here?" chenle asked curiously as he leaned closer to his husband.
"you didn’t know, bub?!" jisung asked dramatically.
"bub, the more we're getting older... the more you're getting dramatic." chenle said and rolled his eyes.
"you're still love me though..." jisung said proudly, smiling as he wiggled his eyebrows.
"when did i say that?" chenle asked, teasing him.
"when we are having a sex," jisung whispered. "remember when i get jealous? i was thrusting inside you and i asked who you loved the—"
"what the fuck, ji. how can you still remember that?!" chenle hissed as he moved jisung's face away.
"how can i forget everything about us?" jisung asked, smiling proudly.
chenle just shook his head and looked away, his eyes even widened when he saw haechan that's why he immediately went to him and greeted him with a warm hug.
"it's been eleven years!" chenle said happily.
"yeah, it's pretty long when we left." haechan said and scratched his nape.
"you’re so pretty!" renjun said giggly.
"you too, renjun-ah! give me a kiss!" haechan said.
but renjun immediately groaned and ran away, he thought haechan already changed but looks like it's not. he's still whipped to renjun.
"where's marco now?" jaemin asked.
"oh, that kid. he became more quiet." haechan said and went closer to jaemin, clinging to him. "but luckily, he already forgot what happened in the past. he just became hard to trust anyone." he pouted.
"sungni is also like that but i'm still happy, the important thing is they coped with it." chenle said and smiled.
as the older ones were talking inside chenle's house, jeno (who was still outside the house) was having fun playing with sungni. not until he was called by his husband so he had to go inside first.
sungni continued playing with the basketball, not until the ball didn’t shoot on the ring and unfortunately, it hit someone.
he was wearing a beige t-shirt, dirty white pants and white air force shoes. there's even a sweater that is tied on his chest that adds some style on him. he was wearing earphones and suddenly stopped on his tracks when something hit his head.
"oh my god, i'm sorry!" sungni said and immediately ran towards him, he even took a couple of seconds before he realized what just happened.
"are you blind?!" the guy hissed and pulled his earphones out.
"i didn’t mean to! it was just an accident!" sungni said as he got the ball at the ground.
luckily, sungni understands english that's why he knows what this guy in front of him is saying, sungni could even say that he was definitely his type but his attitude... well, maybe he was just shocked and surprised because it hit his head and it might have hurt.
"that kinda hurt." the guy hissed and held his head.
"i'm sorry, okay?!" sungni said and stood up. "why are you here? do we know each other?" he asked, frowning.
"who are you to ask me that?" the guy asked.
"you understand but you keep talking in english," sungni hissed. "can you stop talking in english?!"
"it's my language!" the guy said.
"i don't care!" sungni shouted back.
"bub, why are you still there?"
"son, come here!"
the two suddenly looked at the person who called them, it was their parents.
"you're sungni?!"
"you're marco?!"
"why didn’t you tell me?!" marco hissed. "now i look mean to you, you should say your name so i don't mean to you!"
"you didn’t even ask my name!" sungni said.
"did our son suddenly become talkative?" haechan asked as he looked up to his husband.
"let's just go inside, hon." mark said calmly.
"ji, did you see that? sungni just blushed in front of marco." chenle said, sounding surprised.
"yes, bub. let's go inside, shall we?" jisung said as he softly pushed chenle inside the house.
back to the teenagers, marco looked at sungni from head to toe. making sure if it was really his childhood friend, what if he was just his uncle jisung and uncle chenle another child? wait, do they even have another child?
"how can i be sure you're sungni?" marco asked curiously. "sungni was this small when i last saw him," he said.
"wow, is that even a compliment because i grew taller now?" sungni asked. "and yes, this is sungni. the one and only pretty sungni." he sassily said.
"you got more... prettier..."
"it's been a years though!" sungni said happily and hugged him. "dude, i miss you. the last time i saw you, you're quiet as heck, and looks like until now you're still quiet." he chuckled.
but marco was too occupied staring at him to even respond to sungni, the younger one just let out a laugh and clung to his arm.
"let's go inside?" he asked happily.
all of them are finally reunited, all are successful and finally have their own family. they even remember how they used to perform in their university back then, how they rehearsed inside the music room.
someone has left, and then came back. chenle and jisung realized that communication is really important.
because if they don't have that,
they might not be together anymore.
