*** This is an epilogue that I wrote as an alternative version, meaning that in this one everyone survived****

One year later

Yoongi pov

     'yoooooongi'

     'yoooooongiiiiiiiiiii'

I heard y/n's whispers next to me but I deliberately ignored her and kept my eyes closed. I kind of liked her soft voice trying to wake me up.

She placed soft kisses on my cheek and I now started to have a hard time not to open my eyes and answer her kisses.

      'YOONGI'

I opened my eyes as I was startled as y/n's voice was suddenly very loud in my ear.

She clapped her hands with a smile

     'I knew you were awake!'

      'You scared me to death woman' I grunted

She leaned forwards and kissed my lips, it was short and I noticed how she leaned backwards but my arm made its way to the back of her head and I pulled her closer again. 

I turned us around slowly while not breaking the kiss.

I hovered over her and placed kisses in her neck

     'We will be late for duty Yoongi' she moaned lightly.

I rested my head in the crook of her neck and sighed

       'alright then, let's get ready' I agreed

We passed the huge vegetable garden and waved at some of the people that already started working there early in the morning. I knew Namjoon was interested in working in the vegetable garden but everyone that was fit enough to fight had to prepare for battle.

Basically, that only left very young or very old people, or pregnant women to work there.

Even though we hadn't encountered any dangers yet, our leadership was sure the Others would at some point also attack Jeju. And we'd better be prepared.

It was better here than on the mainland.

On the mainland we lived there in constant threat, here we lived in fear of constant threat.

But one thing was clear; it never really felt like we were free.

I guess that was the main disappointment we felt when we arrived on Jeju. Perhaps in our minds this was a place where we could be free, or at least free enough to spend time on the things we liked to do instead of training to fight again.

Namjoon and Jin surely weren't enjoying the fighting and even though Hoseok was good at it I was sure he preferred to do something else as well. 

Jin, Namjoon and Hoseok lived together with Hueningkais group. They were in this huge ass house, it was like a student sharing house, but that's how they did things around here. There were houses like that, filled separately with men and separately with women.

y/n and I were appointed to a small place together as we were a couple. I had expected Namjoon and Jin to finally confess to get that little benefit, but they hadn't.

We met them as they also just left their house. Jin looked properly tired

    'What happened to you?' I asked Jin

     'The guys had a party of some sorts, they were so loud. It's unfair you two get your own apartment and we have to share with 10 people' he complained.

       'If you did your best to find a partner you could get such an apartment too, dipshit' y/n replied to Jin. 

Namjoon's face went pale and I nudged y/n for a moment who looked confused at me but as she followed my eyes she saw her brothers face in distress as well.

Jin shook his head 'I am happy where I am'

I knew this was an attempt to reassure Namjoon, even though it was not entirely the truth. I was sure that he'd be happier in a place alone with Namjoon like I was with y/n.

Like with the housing arrangement, the women also trained separately from the man, to much annoyance of y/n. She hated that his separation was made but because of her war wound (inflicted by Seung Cheol in their final battle) she was asked to be one of the trainers. This was something she did enjoy though.

I was also asked to be one of the trainers for the men, like I basically had been for our group since this mess started. 

      'Put that away y/n, that is a memory I'd like to forget'

She pouted 'was I that bad?'

I knew she was joking and that she was very much aware that I was talking about the moment with Jin,

       'You already know you weren't' I chuckled

       'Maybe we should reserve one before Jin gets their hands on them' she teased further

I came closer and tickled her sides, she let out a giggle scream.

        'No, Yoongi I was joking' she said but I continued. I guess I enjoyed her little giggles too much to stop.

        'Yoongiiii' she begged again and now I let her go with a smirk.

       'Don't tease me like that y/nie'

        'It's just so funny to imagine how that conversation went down.'

I shook my head

       'but I am not complaining, it was a great night' she added. 

I returned to unpacking my own box again until I heard a loud sigh behind me

I looked up at y/n who stared at some package of cream she had in her hands. Her lips were formed in a little smile but there was a sadness to it.

     'What's up baby?' I asked her

       'I was thinking for a moment about Zhora. How I wished I could see her once again.'

I knew y/n missed them dearly. We sometimes got together, y/n, me, hoseok, Namjoon and Jin, and talked about them as we all kind of missed them. 

We couldn't talk to our leadership about them. We thought about doing it in the beginning, maybe make them see the others could be good as well, but it was obvious the human's hatred went too deep.

I couldn't blame them though, they never had been in personal contact with any Other, the only thing they experienced was how The Others took everything from them: they killed their families, bombed their homes and drove them away from their cities.

Taehyung couldn't talk to his leadership about us either. He had explained that he would risk accusations of treason, just like Seung Cheol called him a traitor. Considering we all survived and were now in Jeju while Seung Cheol had died by y/ns hands.

 Plus we were all aware we wouldn't see each other anymore after we said goodbye that day after Seung Cheols defeat.

We had said our goodbyes, which had been a very difficult moment because it had been so final.

     'It would have been nice if we could see them again' I agreed.

      'Yes maybe one day when there will be peace' she answered

She sighed deeply again

      'if there will be peace' she corrected herself
