a/n: please go watch the music video of love wins all by iu, as this is based on the video! (it’s also just a masterpiece) i included some song lyrics in it, but it’s not officially a song fic.
i hope the multiple povs make sense. i tried my best to label them so you could tell them apart!
also, i did my best to show a deaf reader accurately, but i know that it’s not completely accurate, so please excuse me if i portrayed something inaccurately. the same thing with taehyung being blind in his right eye!

♪ run away from the world, run on
go to the end with me, my lover
will it be a bad ending for us two, gone astray? ♪
~ her point of view ~
The leaves crunch underneath my feet as Taehyung and I run through the abandoned forest. Even though I’m tired, the small shadow above my head reminds me that we’re running for a reason. They can’t find Taehyung and I. We both promised each other that we’ll be together until the end. And we’ll keep it.
They fly past a rundown building, giving us a moment of relief. Signing to him, I say, “Let’s go this way.”
As quiet as we can, we sneak into an abandoned building. Passing a giant crater filled with water, we stop, staring at our reflections.
Mud and dirt cakes my cheeks, and dried blood sits on my face as a reminder of what consequences our friends faced. I look like a mess, while Taehyung, even with the same marks, looks as handsome as ever.
“I look like a mess,” I sign to Taehyung, trying to finger comb my hair.
He just grabs my hand, making me pause and look into his brown eye. A small smile appears on his face as he brushes a stray hair aside.
I know this is his way of saying that I look beautiful. He presses a short kiss to my cheek, and that’s when I realize we’ve been standing out here too long.
I gently tug his hand and lead him into the building.
♪ dearest, darling, my universe
would you take me along? ♪
The steel walls lead us to an open room with high glass ceilings that has a giant pile of clothes in the middle. There’s no bodies, just clothes.
“Is this what happened to our friends?” I sign to Taehyung, gesturing to the heap.
He just shrugs, wrapping his arm around me, his brown eye sad. I stare at his blue eye, the misty look in it familiar.
Two people with differences. This is what makes them come after us. Our friends already got the punishment. It’s up to Taehyung and I to survive.
All of a sudden there’s a shadow above the glass ceiling, and I drag Taehyung behind a turned over piece of furniture.
In each other’s arms, I feel secure, if only for a fleeting second.
♪ far away in the universe from earth to mars
will you please go with me? ♪
After they pass, we decide to keep moving. We find side street with empty shops that’s just outside the building. It’s littered with debris and dust, but it’s hidden away from them, so we pause.
There’s an old mannequin in one window that’s surrounded by TVs, and on top of one of them there’s a grey camcorder.
Taehyung grabs it as I look around.
-his point of view-
Holding the camcorder up to my left eye, I peer through it, curious. To my surprise I see her. But not in the present.
She’s healed and it’s as if it’s before they came. It hurts my heart to see her like this as I think of what our life was before them. I have to pull the camcorder away before my tears threaten to fall.
~ her point of view ~
Taehyung pulls the camcorder away and I swear that I see a glimmer of tears in his eyes. I give him a questioning look and he just hands me the camcorder, urging me to look through it.
I do as he says, and my world is now back to before. My Taehyung is back to before.
Walking slowly over to him, I reach my left hand up to touch the side of his face, all while still holding the mysterious camcorder.
I feel his soft skin beneath my fingers, somehow forgetting about the cuts and scratches.
He’s back.
My love, before they came, is back, with both of his umber orbs that crinkle at the corners when he smiles.
I smile through the tears as I slowly pull the camcorder down.
The grey world comes flashing back, and there’s my love now. Still as beautiful as before, just with one cloudy gaze.
♪ crush me in your arms
give me a lovelier kiss, lover ♪
I grab Taehyung’s hand and decide that we need to leave this area, having stayed in one spot for too long.
“Let’s go,” I sign, sighing as I look around. This was a nice respite but we really should keep moving.
I turn to go but Taehyung stops me by tugging gently on my hand. Looking at him, I see his finger pointed. Following it, I see the dirty street sign that says ‘Magnolia Street.’
I know why Taehyung’s pointing to it, and I know he wants to visit it, to see if it’s still intact. Of course, I also want to visit our old home, but I’m not sure if I can with all the memories it holds.
Then I look at Taehyung’s face. His eyes are pleading and I can already feel my resolve crumbling.
I nod.
♪ love is all, love is all
love, lovе, love, love ♪
Taehyung and I had bought the house when we were first married, excited to fix up the two-story. We painted the walls together and chose the furniture, two young lovers with no idea of the future. Those were some of my happiest days. Being able to be with Taehyung all the time made my heart almost burst with joy.
Now, the cheerful yellow paint is peeling and as I open the creaky front door I gasp at the state of the inside.
There is a thick coat of dirt and dust everywhere, and many holes in the carpet. The walls are peeling and I can barely stand to look at the furniture because of its condition.
I feel Taehyung’s hand rub mine, and I try to relax, even as my heart is clenching.
Walking through the living room to the dining room, I look at the table, still set up with cutlery. The dead flowers in the middle add to the dreariness and I inhale a cloud of dust as I sit down.
Taehyung sits across from me and pulls out the camcorder, once again peering through it.
I smile slightly as I pick the fork up and bring it to my mouth, biting into a fake piece of food.
-his point of view-
The colorful world is back again as she takes a bite of the delicious looking pastry. Her eyes shine as she chews it, and flowers are blooming on the table, highlighting her beauty. I feel myself smile.
~ her point of view ~
Taehyung smiles and I blink wistfully.
“I can almost taste it,” I sign, imagining eating a fluffy piece of strawberry cake, not unlike the one we had at our wedding. It was so rich and Taehyung and I fed each other a piece, eyes glowing at the sugary goodness.
I reach for the camcorder, taking it and signing to Taehyung, “Your turn.”
As he mimes a bite, I look through. He’s now eating a piece of strawberry cake, getting crumbs all over his mouth. Smiling fondly at him, I get up to wipe the crumbs off his mouth.
♪ in the еnd,
how is it us?
for us? ♪
< camcorder point of view >
She gets up and lovingly brushes the crumbs off his mouth as he gazes into her eyes. The feel of his soft skin makes her smile as they are transported into a world of their own.
The couple is now in a fancy restaurant, one like their first date. The candles on the table are slightly fuzzy, as if it’s a dream. But the couple doesn’t care.
Standing up to dance, he leads her in a slow waltz as the room starts to fill with shadows. They swerve dangerously close to the couple, some even reaching out in an angry manner.
The couple just laughs, ignoring them.
Eventually she holds his hand, and the couple makes a mad dash for the restaurant exit. They reach their claw hands out too close, and the couple barely misses them.
~ her point of view ~
I run upstairs to the attic with Taehyung in tow. Is it still there?
Stopping abruptly in the doorway, Taehyung all but crashes into me.
“Sorry,” I sign, distracted by the sight in front of me.
It is still there. While the tarp over it is ripped, my wedding dress still stands.
I had a designer friend of mine make me my wedding dress, and, sticking to the old tradition, Taehyung couldn’t see me in it before the wedding.
…
“I trust your judgement, baby,” he signed to me, and then kissed me on the cheek and left.
The sleek silhouette is tasteful, with long and airy sleeves that have the smallest puff in the top to make it look more regal. The nipped in waist with a thin pearl belt accentuates my figure and the smooth fabric drapes elegantly down the skirt, folding in layers at the end. The simple veil added to the classic elegance aesthetic that I was going for.
I felt truly beautiful in that dress.
When I walked down the aisle, I carried a bouquet of hydrangeas and baby’s breath with a pearl necklace and matching pearl drop earrings.
I smiled shyly as I snuck a glance at Taehyung. His face was the happiest I had ever seen him and he looked like a lovable golden retriever. My golden retriever.
Our first kiss as a married couple was those like from the movies. Sweet and soft, a perfect fairytale moment.
…
Now, the sight of the dress makes me tear up for the millionth time. Why was it that I had to leave behind everything? All those happy memories and moments are tainted by the thought of them.
Taehyung hugs me from behind, kissing me softly on the cheek. I don’t have to sign anything to know that he sees my tears. I also know that he probably has his own glistening in his eyes.
I lean more into his embrace, and we stand there together for a minute, a whirlpool of thoughts in our heads.
Then I get a striking thought. What if I tried it on?
“Baby, I know this is crazy, but what if I tried it on?” I sign to Taehyung, pleading silently with my eyes.
“If it makes you happy, do it. I think we’re safe enough here for now,” he signs back.
I slip it on over my clothes, surprised that it still fits (albeit a bit tight). Thinking about it, I remember the photobooth pictures we took after our wedding.
< camcorder point of view >
The couple stumbles into the cheap photobooth, drunk on their happiness. They have a limited amount of time before their wedding reception, but they want to spend a moment with just the two of them.
With their wedding attire still on, she fixes her veil before they both sit on the bench. Although they’re crammed together, the couple enjoys it, smiling giddily at each other. Then it’s time to take the photos.
First they try to be serious, barely holding in their grins at the camera flashes. Then, he gently hoists her onto his lap, poking her sides playfully, chuckling as she jumps. She laughs loudly, covering her face with her hand as the flash goes off again.
For the next pose they try a cuter angle. She throws her left arm around him and squishes his bread cheeks with her right hand. He pouts, still looking as handsome as ever for the picture.
After, she fixes his hair, trying to get ready for a (hopefully) nice photo. He just makes faces into the camera and the flash goes off before she can adjust herself.
Oh, well, who needs a nice picture in a photobooth anyway?
The photos come out and the couple looks at them together, overjoyed with the results.
~ her point of view ~
“Remember the photobooth snapshots we took?” I signed to Taehyung, still clad in my wedding dress.
He nods, reaching out his arms.
I look as him quizzically, until he gestures for me to come to him.
As I do, he carefully places his hands in mine and starts to slowly sway.
I rest my head on his shoulder, breathing him in. Feeling his warmth, I close my eyes as we sway to our own unknown rhythm.
< camcorder point of view >
The now married couple walks into the reception to congratulations. As a special surprise for their guests, they’re going to sing a song together.
She starts in with the inspiring melody, and he joins in with a smooth harmony. Confetti starts falling down but the couple doesn’t notice, lost in each other.
At the climax of the song, he brings a small red flower from his pocket and places it behind her ear. He already has a matching one behind his.
Her face is soft and full of love as she sings the climax, hitting the high note effortlessly as he dips her back.
They come back up to thundering applause. The couple sweetly kiss, feeling each other’s smiles on their lips.
Bathed in golden light and dusted in confetti, it’s clear they are meant for each other.
~ her point of view ~
After our short dance (if you can even call it that), we go to our bedroom. The wallpaper is faded and the furniture has cobwebs, but the four poster bed still stands. It was a gift from my mother for our wedding and has beautiful carvings on the wood.
Feeling a rush of silliness, I climb onto the bed and start jumping. The bed creaks but doesn’t break, and I take it as a sign to keep bouncing.
Taehyung joins me and we hold hands like we’re in our lovesick teenager years.
I grab a pillow, intending to hit Taehyung with it. As I grab the pillow it rips open, feathers spilling out of it.
Laughing, I whack Taehyung with the case, getting feathers in his hair. He grins cheekily and also grabs a pillow, rips it open, and lets the feathers fly. It’s a snow of feathers in the room now, with them settling on our hair and clothes.
Taehyung and I flop back onto the bed, breathless with joy. Beaming, I turn on my side and brush a stray hair out of Taehyung’s face.
♪ I slowly film you with my eyes
please make a serene smile once again ♪
I still. Even after all this time, he makes my heart flutter with just his glance.
He smirks at me, then presses a quick kiss to the corner of my mouth, then the other corner. My nose is next, followed by my lips and soon he’s peppering them all over my cheeks.
Giggling, I try to push him away but fail. I lay there in his embrace, warm and cozy.
♪ as we hovered slowly
in the night of that day
will you courageously set with me? ♪
A shadow suddenly passes by the window, and I get a glimpse of them flying by. I sit up and bolt out of bed, signing to Taehyung, “We need to leave, now.”
We go downstairs and out the door, glancing at the sky. They are nowhere in sight, and Taehyung and I run.
We’re not entirely sure where we’re going, but somehow we end up making a full circle and end up back at the abandoned office building.
Just as we’re about to go back inside, I get a sudden feeling of dread, and I turn around and there theyare.
“Run.” I sign, grabbing Taehyung’s hand and sprinting inside. We start to make random twists and turns in the winding hallways, hoping to throw them off.
But they are too fast.
Stopping in our tracks we realize we’ve made it back to the room with the huge pile of clothes. There’s nowhere else to go, as they are blocking the one and only exit.
Turning around, I quickly scan the room for something to use as a weapon. Spotting a metal pipe I pick it up and bring my arms up to hit them.
Before I can blink Taehyung snatches the pipe out of my hands and uses it to hit them.
Three times he strikes them with the pipe. I can see that he uses his full strength, but it’s not enough.
They just glow brighter.
The power of his blows knocks him back and he falls to the ground. I immediately go to him, wrapping my arms around him and holding him close.
Taehyung find my hand and grasps onto it. His palm is warm, and I clench it tightly.
If we’re going down, we’re in it together.
Just like we promised.
They turn red, and I feel my heart break.
This is it.
♪ destroy me slowly and chilly, ruiner
I want to get sad with you, my lover ♪
I don’t want Taehyung to see this. I gently lower my other hand over his left eye as I take a shaky breath.
I feel a single tear fall as a cold feeling washes over my body. It seeps into my bones and takes over me.
♪ run away from necessity, run on
go to the end with me, my lover ♪
~ his point of view ~
My heart is breaking as my love covers my eye, putting me into darkness. I feel her shudder, and I know that it’s happening. I’m just grateful that she is here. All I want is to be with her.
A bucket of ice is dousing me and I feel it in my soul. The slight feeling of drowning overtakes me.

The couple slowly lifts into the air and then there is a bright flash of light.
A wedding dress with a veil and a torn shirt and pants float down in a whisper onto the pile.

TAEHYUNG IU 'Love wins all' MV (2024)
SOBBING CRYING KICKING MY FEET SCREAMING ROLLING IN MY GRAVE THROWING UP MY BODY IS ON FIRE AND MY EYES HURT
THE WAY I WAS ALMOST NEAR TEARS WATCHING THIS IT WAS SO SAD AND FOR WHAT?!! FOR WHAT??!!!
THE LURICS AND THE VIDEO WAS A LITERAL KDRAMA IN 5 GOD DANG MINUTES😭😭
GET THEM AN OSCAR GET THEM AN OFFICAIL DRAMA GET THEM BACK INTO ACTING I NEED IT MY GODDDDDDD😭😭😭
LOVE IU AND I LOVE V SO MUCH AND THEY DID SUCH AND AMZING JOB HERE!!!!🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
Everything about this song and MV is just indescribable, truly ✨️
It was just perfect and hauntingly beautiful 🥹 Thank you, IU + V 💜
Please, do not do this.
To be fair, this person began their comment with "For me", but this line of thinking is still pretty dangerous. Why would Lee Jieun (IU) base a long awaited comeback entirely off of another supposed couple. Just because she had a lip piercing in the MV does not make her Jungkook -- and why would she comb through various Jungkook looks and settle on a specific one from 2021? Like, isn't that a bit crazy to assume?
I think that their own interpretation for what the box could've represented (darkness in the world) and their entire explanation for LGBTQIA+ rights and disabilities is a sweet and considerate one, but trying to overshadow IU's months of hardwork is just not the way to do it! If they're able to take home a good message from the MV, that's fine! Art is meant to move people! But we shouldn't be pushing fictional narratives as a type of truth.
If they want to make a fictional 'Love Wins All' au/fic around Taekook, they can. Those are respective fan spaces where one can choose to 'customize' pre-existing media without stirring up trouble. But to say they think IU is supposed to be Jungkook in her own music video is just an insult to her overall... Not to mention, they purposely renamed 'Love Wins All' from its original title 'Love Wins', because they came to the understanding that portraying a hetereosexual couple under a phrase typically utilized by gay rights activists can come across as insensitive. This is supposed to be a hetero couple in the music video -- and there's nothing wrong with that! I fear the day that Taehyung decides to take on more drama roles and his fans will be telling him his female lead (if there is one) is actually supposed to be a representation of Jungkook...
