This story takes place in 2081 where the Kim's are at their lodge deep in the woods... five miles away from their neighbors. Currently in the living room dancing to oldies is a older man of 86 named Kim Taehyung. While in the kitchen is younger spouse of 79 named Kim Y/N.

'I fall in love too easily ~ Chet Baker',

I was in the kitchen currently putting the pecan pie in the oven, my husband of 55 years was in the living room listening to our old classics. I smiled as I remembered some of our old days.. we would dance around in the rain until we got sick and cold.

It made me chuckle thinking of how we always danced like no one was looking but we knew people were watching us like we were dumb. But we were dumb.... dumb in love with each other and that made us smile. Especially when we sealed our first date with a kiss that melted my heart.

It was such a beautiful site that we had to snap a photo of, I just couldn't forget our first date. The date that sealed our forever love and of course we danced around like fools. We were fools.... fools in love... a love that no one could come between. Then a few years later... we made our love even stronger!

By expanding our family... we got married and soon had five lovely children. It did nothing but make us smile knowing we created such a warm loving family that everyone wanted to have. We supported our babies through any and everything possible, so they'd all became successful like we were.

After so many years we finally became grandparents... we have so many that I can't count on hands and toes. They definitely went after me and Tae by having a large beautiful family that made everyone jealous. As I come out my thoughts; I wipe my hands on my apron before walking out the kitchen to the living room where Tae was. I peeked around the corner to see him shuffling around dancing still... he had a subtle smile on his face with his eyes closed as he enjoyed the music.

'These foolish things by Ella Fitzgerald',

I smiled looking at my wonderful husband as he danced around the room, I could hear the soft crackling of the fireplace and see the glow as it touched his tan skin. He opened his eyes to look at me as he showed his famous box smile that made millions of people fall in love with him. But I was the one who stole his heart and he stole mine. He reached out towards me with a wink,His deep soothing voice still impressed me.

I walked to him before taking his right hand with my left, I put my right arm over his shoulder as his left went around my waist. I looked up in his eyes as they softened at me... I could see nothing but love in them. Feeling his warmth against mine was the most wonderful thing I could ever feel, my heart always beat for him. And his beat for mine. The soft sounds of the rain tapped against the windows, the sounds of the flickering fireplace matched with the rain. The radio in our bedroom steady played our favorites old tunes that made people think 'why would such young people listen to this?'

Yes we were in our 20's listening to our grandparents music but it felt so soothing and amazing knowing what it did to our hearts. We started our days with this music... and we were going to end with it. It felt like minutes went by as we started to each other's eyes... the rain pattern was soft as ever... the flames were picking up... as the radio sounded more faded out than earlier. I whispered to him in a small tone, "Tae... you gave me the best years in my life... I don't know where I would've been if I didn't meet you." A single tear fell from my left eye but we didn't move to wipe it away.

He softly chuckled,Tae always knew the best words to say to me, it was the way he was so soft with me that made me melt. The way he kissed me softly, the way he would protect me from strangers or crazy fans, the way he would treat me like a diamond that could easily break. He made me fell like the only person in the world who matters to him, he gave me happiness. He gave me true love, he gave me children who gave us grandkids, he had given me a purpose to live.

The fire still crackled but the flames were stronger, the rain tapping the windows ever so slightly, as the radio was still faded in the background. We still smiled at each other deeply, our smiles only broke when deep coughs left our hurting bodies. Tears fell down my eyes and so did his; he was my husband, my best friend, my breath of air... and now my air was being taken away.. and so was his. Our feet were burning, boots were falling off shelves, feathers from pillows were floating around with the thick clouds of smoke.

'I don't want to cry anymore ~ Billie Holiday',

The song played throughout our home as it was slowly burning away... we didn't even care to try to break apart. Taehyung was the reason I was alive and it was the same for him, we loved our happy lives and family. All you could hear was fire crackling and burning... our bodies were burning in pain but we didn't let go. The moonlight was flowing into our window as it shined on our bodies, more coughs & tears were coming. I put my chest on his head as I could hear his faint heartbeat, I mumbled. "I don't want to cry anymore Tae." He tightened his arms around me. Tears flowed down our faces, fire was surrounding us..but we kept dancing.

As our last few minutes died down, we were gone... the tears stopped.. everything stopped as we did our 𝐿𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝐷𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒.
