~Epilogue~

You took the hand that was held out in front of you and stepped out of the limo and onto the proverbial carpet. As previously instructed, you kept your eyes low for the first few steps to avoid the flashes, then looked directly up into your husband's smiling eyes.

"Ready Anae," he whispered as he grinned at you.

You took that deep breath you always needed and began to move together down the carpet.

You stopped at various stations, and let your husband run through his now familiar answers for the movie, the rumored comeback album for the group, and the success of the past year's world tour.

He very deftly avoided questions about you and when asked directly you answered honestly.

"I am the Bangtan Sonyeondan Maenijyeo, accompanying my talent to his premiere," you said over and over again, making the most of your Daegu accent having to be translated into English.

Your eyes flicked from his bare ring finger, to the small bulge of the necklace under his shirt and remembered his words to you before you'd left the hotel tonight.

"It's always on mentally Anae, but tonight it's just a bit closer to my heart," and remembering it made you smile a little.

You were used to the need to hide it for now, and had a pretty good idea, that that was going to be a necessary thing for at least a few more years. Especially since your youngest brother was absolutely dragging his feet and not liking the idea of a solo career at all.

You watched the blonde and curvy female entertainment host from one of the American news stations try to flirt with Yoongi and he completely ignored every single sign she threw at him. The interview concluded and you watched in amusement as he side stepped slightly to avoid her tucking her phone number into his jacket pocket.

"Maenijyeo," he said and offered you his arm again and you smiled in return and began your walk down the carpet to the next interview station. You turned slightly and couldn't resist the smirk as the blonde watched the two of you walk away.

"Anae," he chided, and you held back a giggle before looking up at him wide-eyed.

"Nae Nampyeon," you breathed, and you watched him struggle to remember he couldn't just bend down like always and press a kiss to your lips. Which only caused him to raise an eyebrow as you attempted to avoid a giggle.

"It's still just a movie theater Babygirl," he whispered in your ear. "All sorts of...interesting things happen in the dark you know," and he trailed his fingers over your arm causing you to shiver slightly. You nudged him into the next interview and watched as his eyes danced with suppressed laughter as he answered the same questions for the thirteenth time tonight.

A voice in the crowd caught your attention and you had to bite your cheek when the very active ARMY in the audience screamed out a "Marry me, Yoongi!" causing your husband to wince a little and you to cough to avoid outright laughter.

The three weeks after your wedding had been some of the calmest and most relaxed that you'd ever spent with Yoongi. No movie, no tour, nobody trying to kill either of you. It was a nice change.

Jimin and Tae were even more adorable than before, but you were secretly thrilled to notice that their behavior, like yours and Yoongi's, didn't really change all that much after the ceremony.

Europe had flown past you and the week in Paris had been amazing. Not that you'd seen much outside of the hotel bed for a few days, but after that, you'd been able to walk the city streets and do all the things you'd always heard people did in Europe but had never experienced for yourself.

After the first week, you had met up with Jimin, Tae and JK and they had shown you some more places they loved.

In Italy you finally met back with the entire OT7 and things began to settle again.

Minho was still overly watchful, but you knew he was as relieved as you were when Kang Sanghoon made it back to Seoul and nothing else went crazy on tour.

You and Seunghyun, Sejin and Sungjin had worked as soon as the tour started again, and you had been able to split up all of the sponsorship blocks into manageable chunks.

Tae let you know that his time was better managed this time around, but it was Seokjin and Namjoon who informed you that monetarily, they both thought the were doing just as good as they had been before they'd gone into the service. And that was what you had been waiting to hear.

The tour had wound through Europe and down to all the places you hadn't been able to see in the first part of the Asian tour last summer.

The second ceremony in Korea had gone exactly how Yeeun and Hoseok had planned. Jimin and Tae escorted you down the aisle and your dress had been so huge that it nearly knocked the three of you over. As it was, Yoongi had complained until it came off that he had to stand two feet away from you or risk crushing the skirt.

Instead of a Paebaek ceremony, the guys had simply gifted you with a massive basket of dates and chestnuts. You had gasped at the size of the basket and Yoongi had frowned at his brothers before they'd all laughed their asses off.

Yoongi's mother had chosen to attend, but refused to talk to anyone except his brother, and left very quietly after the ceremony and you hadn't talked to her since. So about how you had thought that would go.

Now it was May, and time for the movie premiere in Los Angles. You and Yoongi were in LA for the week, then would fly back to Seoul and prepare for the last concert of the tour, which was at Olympic Stadium again, bookending and completing the world tour.

The preparation for the comeback album release was well underway for later this summer. You and Woojin had weekly meetings to plan for the next tour, and last week you'd been able to convince Minseo to take the promotion she had been offered, though she promised she would still be coming with the tour the next time around.

Yeeun and Hoseok were still dating, and you thought that they were both ok with exactly where things were for now. Jungkook had been turned down by the girl above the boxing gym. She had told him she didn't want to deal with all that came with being an idol's girlfriend.

And even though you had offered to go down and talk some sense into her, JK had declined, and then become the ridiculously flirty magnae again.

"Noona, there's so many flowers to chose from! Why have one rose, when I can have the entire garden?"

You had blinked for a long while, while Jin had patted your hand.

"It's so hard to let them grow up," he'd teased. But JK wasn't sad or pouty anymore when he thought no one was looking, and you thought maybe it was an ok thing after all.

You finally made it off the red carpet and into the coolness of the theater and were directed to your seats by helpful staff.

As you sat down you had a moment to wonder about your own life, and thought that when you got back to Seoul, perhaps it was time that you and Yeeun went to a pharmacy in some random part of town and did some shopping.

You were starting to think that perhaps there would be a new plus one to consider for the tour next year and put a gentle hand over your tummy as you thought about it.

You looked at your husband as he settled into the seat next to you and thought that he'd probably be ok with a Baby Min for Christmas.

He caught you looking at him again and grinned at you.

"If you scoot down just a little Anae, I think these arm rests adjust," he whispered and futzed with it until he was able to tuck you under his arm so that you could lean against him and watch his movie.

You listened to his heart under the jacket and were very happy with your beautiful life. It was crazy, it was wild, it was amazing, it was sweet, and it was yours. But the best part of your life was that you got to share everything with the wonderful man next to you. And you couldn't wait to see what happened next.

~The End~
