Epilogue

2 years later

"Min Appa!" Min Jun yells, tapping his foot impatiently. "Hurry up!"

"This brat. I shouldn't have been that nice to him when he first came," Jimin mutters as she struggles to dashes out from his room with a pair of socks in his hands. "Stepping all over me now..."

"Appa, I can hear you," Min Jun says, pouting but Ji Woo hits his head. "Ow! Noona!"

"Be quiet, you took forever to get out of bed today. Jin Appa had to even threaten to take away your TV time before you finally woke up. Even then, it was almost an hour later from when I first told you to wake up," the older girl says and he rolls his eyes.

At the beginning of 2016, they had found Ji Woo's family in Ilsan who wanted nothing to do with her. Simply said that they sold her off to the man because they needed money. All the girl knew was that, she was indeed two years older than Min Jun. Ji Woo was so miserable for months that whoever came to visit her, she just ignored them and their pleads. She even ignored Min Jun, asking him to leave her alone because he didn't understand how it was being rejected by his own family. That was till iKON decided to pay a visit to their favourite twins.

Han Bin spent a long time talking to her in the room and when BTS was worried about the duo, Min Jun reassures his Appas that Han Bin was the best person to talk to Ji Woo. After he said that, Ji Woo came out from her room, behind Han Bin before jumping on her Appas and apologized for being such a brat like Min Jun which led them to quarrel playfully. But instead of breaking them like usual, BTS left them to be, happy that Ji Woo was back to normal.

They had tried to find Min Jun's family in Busan but it turned out that they all moved to the States, leaving no way to contact them. With further investigation, it seemed that his parents had forgotten that they had a child called Min Jun because they had two other kids to take care of after they grieved for Min Jun. They welcomed the small boy with open arms but he didn't like how empty the house was most of the time because they were off at work and the two kids hated him so he demanded and whined a lot to bring him back to BTS which caused a lot of drama internationally. Now, they weren't known as Song twins but Song siblings because that was what they requested everyone to call them.

BTS was really busy but the Song siblings always busied themselves by following BTS or going to YG to talk to iKON, Big Bang and 2NE1 or they would go and look for UNIQ. If none of them were free, they would go around Seoul with one of the BigHit workers or just hang around the cafe that Su Bin used to work at long time ago. They still didn't go to school because they were both too old to enroll into a school so they were home-schooled but then they got bored of schooling because they learnt too quick and understood the modules too easily. Namjoon called them Song prodigies, bragging that they got their brain cells from him but was rebuked with a 'I'm pretty your sperm isn't in the egg that produced them.' by Yoongi.

Min Jun was eating ice-cream and Ji Woo rolled her eyes. "Spoilt brat," she mutters and he glares at her.

"Must you criticise me everyday just because of ice-cream?" Min Jun rebukes and the girl was about to say something when Jungkook shushed them.

"Geez, I don't remember myself being this noisy or annoying when I was young," the maknae mumbles.

"That's because you didn't had a brother or sister near your age," Yoongi says, miserably reminding when he and his brother fought so much that his parents had to put them at two different ends of the house.

They were heading to the end-of-year special music show where a lot of the artist will be attending. They had to get there early for their rehearsals and the siblings figured to wake up earlier than to get their Appas to send another car to get them. They would have plenty of people to talk to. When they get off, as usual there was many reporters and cameras that welcomed them. The siblings being quite used to it after experiencing it a few times knew that the best way was to avoid eye contact.

They head to their dressing room, greeting people on the way. They settled into the huge room with couches. Min Jun and Ji Woo immediately gets on the couches before jumping on it, laughing. A knock resounds and someone said happily, "Coffee order!"

The person enters and everyone stares in shock. "I'm back!" Su Bin exclaims as she puts down the coffee.

Min Jun and Ji Woo ran to her first before hugging her legs tightly. She was wearing ripped jeans, the runners that was gifted by Ji Hyo and Jong Kook two years ago which was very old and worn out, the Baby-G watch had some paint chipping off, the familiar bracelet gifted by the UNIQ maknae, silver ring still on her second finger, Yoongi's beanie, Taehyung's studs in her ear holes, the bag she had brought with her first pay check seemed quite new and the same hoodie Han Bin had gifted her before she left.

"Su Bin?" Jimin utters, not believing that she was in front of his eyes.

She takes off her beanie to reveal her long and black hair. Seokjin hugs her first before muttering about she had lost weight and starts to turn her around, seeing if any harm was done to her. "You got tattoos?" he asks as he eyes the heart on the inside of her finger and she nods.

She greets each of the members warmly before distributing the coffee that she personally made for them. "I was very limited to the ingredients so if it taste weird... I'm sorry!" she exclaims, smiling and bows. "Sorry for making Oppas worry about me so long."

"I still have more people to surprise so excuse me Oppas! I know you need to do your dry run now so hurry up!" she exclaims and ditches her beanie and bag before grabbing the rest of the coffee and leaves, the two kids running after her to help her.

"Did she just act like her leaving us alone for two years was nothing?" Seokjin asks with widen eyes. "It seems as if she has forgotten why she left us in the first place."

"Well she's still her at least," Namjoon says chuckling before taking a sip of the coffee. "Indeed, the coffee made by Su Bin is different."

The maknae line sniggers at Namjoon before teasing that he was old which ended the dressing room in chaos.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She had surprised Big Bang with their specialized coffee order that after so long, she could still remember. "Yah brat! Leaving your Oppas like that without saying anything!" Daesung exclaims, ruffling her hair and she smiles sheepishly. "No wonder you never were around whenever BTS brought the twins along to events. I thought you were really busy with the cafe. That explains why the coffee always tasted off."

"Ah hyung! We're siblings! Not twins!" Min Jun exclaims and Su Bin laughs, happy that Min Jun was still that cute.

"It's good to have you back," Jiyong says and she smiles but his eyes narrow slightly. "You look a bit sick Su Bin. Are you okay?"

"Ah... It must be because I lived on the streets for a while before I returned. I didn't eat much when I was on the streets," she explains and the leader looks at her worriedly.

"You shouldn't have lived on the streets! It's dangerous!" he exclaims and she laughs.

"Oppa, it's okay! I lived on the streets before and I had friends who helped me a lot!" she says, smiling and he nods, still not convinced though. "Anyway, Oppa I have to go. Coffee orders!"

Jiyong nodded his head before she leaves, calling for the siblings who quickly said goodbye with a fist bump and follows her. "She seems happy," Taeyang comments once the siblings left the room. "Very happy."

"She came back. Why would she not be happy?" Seungri says, smiling and puts his arm around the singer while balancing his coffee.

"I agree with Taeyang..." Seunghyun speaks up who had been quiet the whole time Su Bin was around. "She seems too happy. But she looks sick at the same time."

"Ah hyung I think you're overthinking," Daesung says brushing it off and starts to drink his coffee.

"If that is what you say," Seungri says before shrugging.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hyungie!" Min Jun exclaims happily, jumping off the couch once he sees iKON enter the dressing room.

"Oppa!" Ji Woo greets, smiling widely.

Seeing the siblings, it had put a smile on their faces. Ji Woo hugs Junhoe first, having grown close with him over the year since she found him once crying on a bench next to the Han river and started talking to him. Min Jun balances a cup of coffee before going towards Han Bin. "Hyungie! Coffee for you~" he says happily.

Han Bin pinches his cheeks before taking it and thanking the younger. "Ah Min Junnie, where's my coffee?" Bobby asks in English and the small boy smiles before passing each member their coffee.

The leader takes a sip and finds it oddly familiar. "Hyung," Chan Woo says. "Doesn't the coffee taste like the one you brought back years ago? From that cafe Daesung hyung had recommended us when we wanted coffee?"

"Now that you say it Channie, it tastes like that coffee from back then!" Donghyuk exclaims after taking a sip.

As the rest of the members agree, Han Bin took another sip and then he remembers this taste. It was exactly the taste that Su Bin had made when he ordered coffee for the members because he decided to be nice that day and went to buy coffee for them since they were on a strict diet. The leader looks at the boy. "Su Bin...?" he wonders, trying to keep his hope down.

"Oppa~" a familiar voice calls out and they all turn to see the girl after two years.

She stood there like how Han Bin saw her before she left just without her bag and the beanie in her hair. She had grew thinner and her hair was black. She had some tattoos littered around her body, some peeking from under the sleeves whereas some were on her fingers. "Chan Woo!" she exclaims and opens her arms out wide before hugging her same-age friend. "Did Han Bin Oppa bully you?"

"Aniya," he replies, still in shock of her return. "But you're back. Holy crap. You're back."

She smiles as he repeats 'You're back.' "OH MY GOSH I AM NOT DREAMING. YOU ARE BACK!" he yells happily before hugging her tightly and she laughs in his embrace.

"Best reaction out of everyone so far," she comments. "Like the coffee?"

"OUR GODDESS IS BACK!" Bobby exclaims loudly and she coughs awkwardly.

She greets the other members before hugging Jinhwan slightly since he had took care of her two years ago. She turns to the final member who had just been sitting there staring at her, pinching himself from time to time to see if this was a dream or someone would suddenly jump out saying that it was all a prank. "You're real?" Han Bin asks and she bursts out laughing.

"I'm pretty sure I am real... If not, I think you guys should be worried?" she says before raising her hand in front of him. "Touch it."

He hesitantly reaches out and runs his finger over her hand to realize that there was more scars on her knuckles before frowning and looks up to her. "Why do you keep being involved in a fight?" he asks and she gives him an are-you-kidding-me look.

"I expected your reaction to be better..." she says rolling her eyes before bringing her hand back. "I'm so disappointed. To think we were close."

"Eh hyung, I agree with Su Bin," Donghyuk says and the leader rolls his eyes.

"Also I don't get involved in fights. I punch people who try to steal from me or take my territory," she replies before crossing her arms. "I lived on the streets after all."

Everyone stares at her other than the siblings who already expected it. "I used to live on the streets. Did like everyone forget about that?" she asks before sitting down on a free chair.

She looks around the pretty big dressing room as she turns in the chair slightly. "Well looks like my wish came true..." she says while the members eye her curiously other than Han Bin who was still trying to accept the fact that she had came back. "I wished that iKON would be a huge hit and seeing from your concerts... It looked like you guys did..."

"You were at our concerts?" Bobby asks, surprised.

"I sneak in under the stands and watch through the gaps. You guys are always awesome and I'm happy you guys started writing more songs like Climax," she says, smiling. "I went to China once and saw that you guys were going to perform there. Before you ask me, I worked and earned enough money for a very cheap plane ticket to China to deal with something."

"So what have you exactly been doing on the streets?" Yunhyeong asks.

"Well I've been working hard at odd jobs to get money, surviving and finally, avoiding people from knowing who I was," she says. "Oh and finding a place to sleep at night."

"Oh my gosh, you are finally back," Han Bin finally says and she stands up.

"Finally! Stable enough to talk now?" she asks and he nods before standing up. "Min Jun, Ji Woo, don't bully them okay. I know that they are nice but that doesn't mean that you can keep asking ice cream from them. That's for Min Jun. Ji Woo, watch your brother."

The both of them then leave the room. "Was that really Su Bin?" Junhoe asks, pointing at the door. "She doesn't seem that... shy..."

"Noona is just like that," Min Jun comments before smiling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You're back," Han Bin says.

"Yes. I thought we established that. Do we need another round of you trying to twist your head around the fact that I'm back?" she asks, smiling. "Tell me because I will grab two chairs if you need it."

"You became more humorous..." he points out and she shrugs, the right sleeve moving up to reveal the white ribbon under it.

She tugs it back down. "I didn't want you to remember about it," she says before looking away. "I wasn't expecting anything."

He pulls his shirt up slightly to reveal that the white ribbon, slightly dirtied was tied around one of the pants' belt holder. "I didn't forget," he says and she nods. "How have you been?"

"Same old, just thinner," she replies before looking at him. "You look tired. Very tired."

"I've been working hard..." he says and she nods before a silence fell upon them.

"You know that Dae Jun-ssi and So Hyun-ssi are... getting married right?" the leader asks and she nods again, not feeling anymore hurt.

"I've heard but well, I don't feel anymore pain," she says, shrugging.

Han Bin observes and finds that there is something off about her. "Are you okay?" he asks and she looks at him weirdly before laughing. "Like actually."

"I am!" she exclaims, smiling widely. "Why would I not be okay?"

A silence fell over them as he continues to stare at her. Instead of looking away like she would, she acts as if he wasn't staring at her. She pulls up her sleeve that had the ribbon. She unties it herself before handing it back to him. "I don't think I should take it anymore," she says and he looks at her. "It's been two years... There has to be someone else right?"

"No... There hasn't been anyone," he replies softly but she shrugs, arm still stretched towards him. "But I gave it to you for your birthday present."

"We're not a couple Han Bin," she says before sighing and takes his hand up before putting it in his palm. "I told you in the letter... You predicted our ending. Hopeless."

"You shouldn't base an object on something you had seen before," he replies, gripping on the ribbon tightly. "The MV is just an MV. It's not real."

"But the ribbon symbolizes hopeless love in my life," she shoots back. "It's time to move on Han Bin..."

"Why did you come back?" he asks. "Is he taken down?"

"Yes... I worked hard to take him down without him knowing that I was the one," she replies. "I flew around quite a bit and if there was a concert in the area I was in and if I knew the artist, I would go and see them."

"Money?" he asks.

"From my job before I left, earned some while being on the streets, borrowed money and stealing when I really have no way," she replies.

"Why are you acting as if nothing happened before you left?" he asks harshly, gripping the ribbon even tighter.

"If you're still hung up over the past, stop. Because its the past for a reason," she replies before walking away, leaving him alone.

Han Bin clenches his fist so tightly it hurt. A stray tear fell from his eye. He actually thought time did heal but this time, it didn't work.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"You're back," Dae Jun says once they met.

"Yea. I'm back," she says before taking a cup to get water. "I heard about So Hyun-ssi and you. Congrats."

"You're not jealous or hurt?" he asks.

"Why would I be?" she asks, staring at him. "It's been two years. If I'm not over it, that means I'm just throwing a pity-party for myself and it's just pathetic. Also, you're not that good. Don't act like you are the best guy I ever met because I have met better guys."

"Like Han Bin?" he asks and she throws the half cup into the bin before glaring at him.

"Must everything be about him? Now, you're acting immature. I have so many guy friends. Han Bin-ssi isn't the only male friend I have."

"Han Bin-ssi?" he sneers and she rolls his eyes.

"Can you not be so childish. I don't know what I saw in you last time. I thought you would mature but looks like you didn't," she says before turning around and walk away.

"Yea just walk back to your Han Bin!" he exclaims and she growls turning around.

"Stop being a child over this matter!" she roars, full of anger. "It happened fucking two years ago. Will you just stop talking about it and let it go?"

"No I won't because you broke up with me and told me to date So Hyun. If you didn't, we'll still be together!" he yells and she sighs, running a hand through her hair.

"What's the point of bringing up the past?" she asks, trying to keep her anger at bay. "You're getting married to her. I told you to give her a chance. Looks like you're the one throwing a pity-party for yourself when everyone had moved on. You look stupid."

He stares at her. "You're getting married to So Hyun-ssi for goodness sake. Stop holding onto the past. Freaking hell, if you don't like her, don't lead her on!" she exclaims, pissed.

"Doesn't that mean that you led Han Bin-ssi on too?" he retorts and she rolls her eyes.

"I did not. I was teaching him a lesson and he didn't get hurt," she replies. "Whereas for your situation, ninety-nine percent that So Hyun-ssi will be hurt. Act wisely."

"You act as if you are so good and that you know everything in the whole damn world when you don't. You fucking don't. You're just stuck-up, thinking that you're better than everyone else!" he yells enraged. "You're a selfish bitch!"

"If that's how you see me," she says, looking at him in the eye to see his hate and fury, "then I have nothing left to say Dae Jun-ssi."

She walks off as he continues to yell at her for being a selfish bitch who plays with guys like they are nothing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was three in the morning but Su Bin was at Hangang Park, sitting alone at a bench, still wearing Han Bin's hoodie that she didn't return, the ripped jeans and worn out runners. She buries half of her face into the hoodie as she thinks back to the two years that she left and curls herself tighter. She started crying when she remembered the really tough times where she would cry herself to sleep in a really small room that she rented for one dollar per day. She could barely breathe in that room so she roamed the streets during the day, figuring out what to do while she came back, waiting till midnight before bathing because she lived with all guys that she didn't know and she didn't want to risk anything happening. She cries because she misses BTS and the siblings too much.

So much had changed but she kept up with every single news. She knew that Ji Hyo and Jong Kook got married, Jae Suk got another kid, Haha and Byul had a baby girl, BTS was internationally known, every corner of the world knew them and they were planning a world tour before having a long break before finally coming back together to work harder for the next album, she knew that iKON was going up and only up even though they met many hardships and she knew that UNIQ was going through a lawsuit against another entertainment who sued them for taking the name years ago.

"I heard a seal crying so I decided to come over," she hears Chinese and she looks up to see Yibo and a basketball tucked in between his arm and his body. "You still cry the same."

"How do you even know my cries?" she asks as she wipes the tears away.

"I guessed and it sounded like you," he replies before sitting next to her.

"What are you doing here?" she asks, taking in a deep breath.

"Basketball," he replies in Chinese, holding up the orange ball, "with the group."

"They're all here?" she asks, feeling embarrassed.

"Yea. They heard you and told me to come over," he says as he bites his lower lip. "I heard about what happened in the morning between Dae Jun and you... Everyone heard..."

"Not surprised," she mutters before burying her half of her face into the hoodie again. "We were yelling. If no one heard, I would be surprised..."

"Why were you guys fighting?" the maknae of UNIQ asks, looking at her and she sighs.

"He's just being immature. He keeps bringing up the past and shit," she says. "Sigh, the streets brings out the rough side of me."

"Is it tough living on the streets?" he asks and she shakes her head.

"It's my past life, I wouldn't find it tough, it just took me longer than expected to adapt. I didn't sleep on the streets this time though, I stayed in a building full of guys and I lived in the smallest room. But why should I complain when I bestowed the situation on myself," she mutters miserably.

"So you're not happy," Yibo says in Chinese as she looks up to the sky. "The smile and laughter you faked the whole day. Why?"

"I'm happy to see everyone again. It just the night get really lonely because BTS fell back to the habit of working late, leaving the siblings by themselves to sleep," she says sadly. "It got really lonely in the dorm so I came to Hangang. Well I ran here... I went back, put my bag down and for some reason didn't want to believe that I was home so I ran. I'm trying to clear my mind by looking at the river."

"You ran from BTS dorm to here?" Yibo asks and she nods. "How long have you been here?"

"Since midnight... I've been here for three hours but my mind isn't clear, instead it keeps piling up, up and up," she whispers as a stray tear leaves her eyes but she wipes it with the sleeve.

"What happened with Han Bin-ssi and you?" he asks concerned because he had heard a bit of their conversation when he was looking for her.

She stares at the dirt on the ground as another tear leaves her eye. "Nothing... I thought he would find someone else but he hasn't," she mutters.

"White ribbon?" he asks in English, knowing that she understands what he means.

"I gave it back," she says before she looks up and the tear immediately runs down her face, the lamp post illuminating the tear on her face. "I think I'm stupid."

"Why?" Yibo asks before moving to face her even though he knows she wouldn't face him, he wants to study her emotions and see her true feelings.

She wipes away the tear again as she takes the necklace that had been hidden so well under her shirt that it was as if she had just brought it. It was so clean and new compared to the rest of the clothing articles on her. She tugs on the end of it. "He gave me this and the hoodie before I left. He gave me the white ribbon on my birthday," she explains before closing her eyes as she clenches around the end of the necklace. "I only returned the white ribbon. Not even this necklace that brings good luck and the fact that he brought it when iKON debuted. I feel pathetic."

"Do you know why you're crying so much?" he asks as he notices another tear.

"Because the feeling in me right now makes me feel pathetic and stupid," she replies, smiling slightly for finally talking to Yibo because he understood her the most.

"What is the feeling in you?" he continues.

"Guilt and pain," she says as more tears emerged. "And I know exactly why I'm feeling like this. I spoke too harshly at him and handled the issue too lightly when I knew it was going to be a huge deal for him."

She then puts her forehead on her knees as she starts to sob. "You know everything, silly," he speaks in Chinese as he puts his hand on her back to comfort her. "Why are you sitting here worrying then?"

"Can I tell you something? Please don't tell anyone... I guess you can tell other members if you want. Just keep it among you guys please," she pleads in Chinese, keeping her head in the same place.

"You know you can trust us," he replies in Chinese.

As she told him, his face changed and he realizes why she had been trying so hard the whole day. She looks up and put her right palm on her forehead, covering the right side of her face as she sobbed harder. Yibo moved closer before hugging her tightly as she continued to cry, letting out everything she had felt in two years. But she knew as much as she pretended, the arms around her weren't the ones she wanted. What could she do though? She messed things up. Like always.

Don't forget your heart racing like this with strong arms wrapped around you because when the next time it happens, it will be even stronger arms and your heart will race even quicker.

She just sobs harder, gaining the attention of the other members and they made their way towards the duo to comfort the girl they all treated like a little sister while Yibo just softly mutters 'It will be okay.' when he himself doesn't know if it will actually be okay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The siblings were over at iKON's dorm on iKON off day to have a dinner together. BTS would be joining them later on. When they first started visiting, at least one member would be around to make sure nothing would happen to the kids. This led BTS and iKON being somewhat close with each other. Then BTS trusted them to take care of Ji Woo and Min Jun properly so usually dropped them off and greets the younger group then leaves for whatever they had to do.

"Junhoe Oppa or Bobby Oppa?" Bobby asks Ji Woo was sitting on Junhoe's knee, playing with the necklace hung around her that BTS had brought for Min Jun and her as a siblings thing.

"Junhoe Oppa," she replies before smiling and high-fives Junhoe.

"Ah hyung!!! Stop asking! I'm Ji Woo's favourite~" Junhoe says, smiling widely before hugging her tightly and she giggles. "She's my girlfriend~"

"Ah hyung, please stop it," Min Jun says pouting, not liking the idea of Junhoe being so close with Ji Woo. "You're too old for her!"

Bobby smiles fist-bumps him before smirking. "People will think that you are a pervert," Donghyuk dryly comments, making Min Jun laughs as he tumbles backwards, gathering the member's laughter.

"But I like Junhoe Oppa," Ji Woo as the second youngest cheers but Min Jun just glares at his older sister.

"How desperate can you be," he comments before rolling his eyes.

"Yah! Respect your elders!" she exclaims, frowning.

"Noona, you're old then~" he teases before sticking his tongue out.

"You-" she says but Junhoe cuts her off.

"Let's go see Yunhyeong Oppa and Chan Woo Oppa cook okay?" he says, smiling as he stands up with her in his arms. "Let's get away from these meanie Oppas."

"Yah Koo Junhoe!" Jinhwan exclaims but they were already in the kitchen so he settles for an eye roll.

Min Jun looks up from his toy blocks to notice Han Bin by himself with earphones in his ears, staring at the white ribbon in his palm. He frowns then stand up and went towards Han Bin. Donghyuk was about to stop him but Bobby grabs his wrist, making the younger look at him. "If anyone is going to talk to him, it will be either of the kids. They know Su Bin better than us. Maybe he could finally stop Han Bin from replaying Long Time No See," the rapper says and the singer nods, understanding what he meant. "Let's go annoy Chan Woo in the kitchen~"

"You guys should really let the kid rest," Jinhwan mutters as the two younger stand up to head towards the kitchen. Not trusting them, he gets up and follows them to make sure Yunhyeong wouldn't kill anyone with the knife or even be near one when the teasing happened.

Min Jun reaches out to take the white ribbon from the leader before hiding it behind his back. Han Bin looks up and rips the earphones from his ears and indeed Long Time No See was playing. "Return that," he demands and the small boy shakes his head, playfulness all gone from his face.

"Stop this please hyung," Min Jun says, staring at Han Bin. "Please stop!"

Han Bin looks away from him, feeling surprisingly small in front of Min Jun. "Noona wouldn't want you to act this way!" the small boy yells, bringing the white ribbon in front of him and gains the attention of the group inside the kitchen. "Noona returned this for a reason! But whenever she does something like this, she doesn't want you to get hurt!"

"How do you know? She's always been with you," he harshly retorts and Yunhyeong was going to scold him but Ji Woo grabs tightly on his shirt to stop him from moving before shaking her head.

"She wasn't always with Ji Woo and I," he says before lowering his hand to his side as he grits his teeth, thinking back to the streets and his body started shaking.

Ji Woo silently sends power to him to strengthen him and believing that this time, he would be able to speak and be strong like how he had always been but didn't show it. Even though they fought a lot, she always cared for him. And he always cared for her. "Whenever she was hurt after being involved in a fight with the people who tried to steal from us or took our spot or to protect us from his men, she leaves us with a lot of food," he says loudly before taking a breath to stop himself from shaking. "The first time she was gone, we cried. Because we thought she left us like everyone else. We held each other and cried in fear that we were going to die after the food disappeared and that people would take advantage of us. People who heard us just walked past, pretending that we never existed. Only Noona's friends would check up on us and make no one would bully us. But some lied..."

He bites his lower lip harshly with closed eyes. "Some took our food. Some hit us out cold and when we woke up, nothing will be left," the small boy says before lifting his shirt to show a huge scar and there was another scar across before he put his shirt back down. "This happened when someone threw me into a pile of rubbish and a huge glass stabbed me. I could have died if it wasn't for the kind ahjumma at the connivence store who treated my wounds everyday and fed us. All I did was try to protect Ji Woo and the food from desperate people who liked bullying others and taking advantage of people younger than them."

"We act like kids now because we never got the chance to act like kids on the streets, we had to suck it up and if you weren't smart enough, you would die," he states harshly. "Noona left us a lot because she was constantly being hurt to protect us but she stopped leaving when I got heavily injured. Whenever she was hurt then, she would trudge away from us because she didn't want us to see her vulnerable and weak. She wanted to leave a strong image in front of us. But we never saw her once cry, she usually groaned in pain and curses. Even then, if someone tried to take advantage of us, she still fought back."

"Noona always gave her all to us. My other scar came when I protected her," his voice, barely a whisper now. "She came back one day with blood all over her and we knew he had found her. His men followed her back and saw us. He wanted us back but she protected us till she had no more strength. I had to protect her even though I was really young. It ended up with me being stabbed. Noona begged her doctor friend to take care of me even though she knew that the bills were expensive but her friend paid it all of thankfully."

"I told you my story and you feel pity for me but don't!" Min Jun says as he lift his hand with the white ribbon again. "Instead focus on trying to stop moping around, hyung! The pain you're experiencing now is nothing! It's small compared to the pain you felt from your father, hyung."

Han Bin hung his head in shame, being yelled by a small boy, almost Hanbyul's age. "Hyung, know that Noona doesn't want to hurt you and she wants to remain a certain image in your head," Min Jun says as he goes in front of the leader. "This white ribbon is an indication. Please stop acting like this, you're hurting yourself and her even more. She rather you live happily."

"Min Jun..." he calls out softly and the young boy hugs him tightly before he slowly returns the hug.

"Hyung... I know its hurt. I've seen too many people act the same way when Noona left. I felt the same way when she left but time heals okay, hyung? Even though it doesn't seem like it will," the small boy says before moving back.

"Thank you..." Han Bin says gratefully as the boy reveals his dimples and bright smile. "Ppo-ppo."

Min Jun does so and he ruffles his hair before smiling widely. "Done moping around and listening to Long Time No See?" Yunhyeong asks with a playful smile on his face. "We were honestly getting tired of it."

The leader returns the smile before standing up and carries Min Jun. "How's the cooking?" he asks as he entered the kitchen to join all the members.

"Why go through all that trouble?"

"I don't want people to remember me as a sad person but a happy one even at the end."

"You care too much about others. You end up hurting yourself."

"So?"

"Won't you regret not giving it a try?"

"The gods asked me if I wasn't gonna regret this. But I answer without hesitating, why would I regret?"

"How?"

"Well in life, things are predestined. Not everyone has a happy ending but we all have an ending and I am grateful for it."

"How are you still so positive?"

"I promised and swore to myself to change after I left," Su Bin before looking at Wenhan who shot a three pointer. "To be a happier Kim Su Bin."

"Well that isn't such a bad thing," the ex-swimmer replies after he gets the basketball. "You should spend more time with BTS instead of us."

She shrugs as Yi Xuan and Sungjoo joins in while she just sits at the sidelines watching them. "They don't really mind. Plus they're with iKON, I have to meet them later before they leave to be respectful," she says.

"How are you going to deal seeing him?" Yi Xuan asks.

"I'll just act like myself. Like we're friends. I don't want him to be hung up over something as small as this. It will just affect him," she replies as Seungyoun sits next to her and she leans against him, tired before shivering slightly.

"Cold?" the second youngest asks and she shakes her head, smiling. "Tired?"

"Yeah," she replies before yawning with her mouth wide open.

"Aish, your breath smell like onions and garlic," he complains and she pouts.

"Yah Oppa! It's your fault for making me eat so much," she retorts as he laughs.

"You shouldn't have stuffed her you idiot," Wenhan says teasingly before stealing the ball from Sungjoo.

"Ah but hyung, she needs it!" he exclaims, pouting while Yi Xuan ruffles his hair like he was a small kid. "She should eat a lot to gain strength!"

"I think its time for you to go Su Bin," Sungjoo says, checking his watch.

She sighs before standing up, grabbing her bag and stretches. "Ah~ So tired~" she says before shaking her head side to side to wake herself up. "Annyeong Oppa!"

She hugs each of them before walking off to iKON's dorm. "Take care of yourself!" Yi Xuan yells after her and she holds up an 'OK' sign.

Su Bin continues the short journey to iKON's dorm, thinking the different ways she could approach the situation but her brain wasn't working so she kept repeating whatever she was thinking. She shakes her head once again to clear the tiredness as she sped up to reach the dorm quicker. She hasn't seen the new dorm yet and wondered if it was bigger than their previous one. Unknowingly, she reached the door to their dorm. She knocks on the door as she rubs her right eye tiredly. A headache suddenly hit her and she shook her head once again to get rid of it but it wasn't working. When Donghyuk opens the door, she falls into his arms, passed out.

The siblings were on the rooftop, looking up to the sky, sitting at different ends of the roof, not talking. Junhoe and Jimin enters to see the both of them. Junhoe immediately heads over to Ji Woo while Jimin goes over to Min Jun. "Princess," Junhoe calls out cautiously and Ji Woo looks at him before smiling.

"What are you doing up here Oppa?" she asks curiously.

"To get you," he says before looking at his watch. "The sun is setting already."

"I know, I want to see it go down," she replies, carefully watching the sky.

Junhoe follows her line of sight to see a huge fluffy cloud. "She wants to see Min Jun and you," he says and the small girl looks at him. "Your brother and you have been oddly calm since the start of this."

She shrugs but stands up and Junhoe immediately carries her before heading downstairs first, seeing that Jimin was still talking to Min Jun. Halfway down the stairs, she stops Junhoe and stares at the sunset, the sky turning orange and red. After the sun had set and the amazing colours were gone she looks at Junhoe before smiling. "Let's go Oppa," she says, making the iKON member confused but continues their journey down the stairs.

When the reached the level, Jinhwan found them before gulping and Ji Woo already knew what happened. Instead of crying, she smiles. "Can I see her?" she asks and the oldest nods before leading her to the room.

Outside the room, everyone was confused and frustrated. Junhoe lets her down and she approaches the door before opening it. There laid Su Bin on the white bed with a smile on her face. She climbs onto the bed before hugging her carefully. "Unnie, annyeong," she says, smiling before looking out of the window to see a blue butterfly flying along.

AND THAT IS A WRAP TO APPA! I'm just going to be honest with you lovely readers that it took me almost three days to write Chapter 59 because my heart didn't want me to end this book. This story has accompanied me through almost the whole 2015 and it includes a lot of my personal experiences and feelings in real life. I'm happy that so many people loved this story~ Honestly, you guys are amazing! Every time I upload Appa, I always look forward to what you guys think and how you would respond! Yes, I do read all your comments! I just don't reply unless necessary but I really love how concerned you guys are towards me when I don't post for a long time. I updated almost everyday these few weeks to make it up to you lovely people because ya'll deserve it! <3

I apologize for not being interactive but please understand that I personally prefer if a story doesn't have author's note at the end of each chapter. Don't hate please! It's just how I am so I decided to stick to not writing author's note and not being interactive~ Thank you for understanding!

Please comment if you want to see more stories like this (or what kind of stories you want) and if you want small snippets of a specific event happening for example; the conversation between Junhoe and Ji Woo (which I am planning to do). I can honestly say that this ending wasn't what I planned half-way through the story, I had planned something else and written a part of it up but then my imagination changed things around. But it turned out to be beautiful :)

Once again, thank you for being on the journey of Appa, I can't express enough thanks to the people who vote every, single chapter! You guys are awesome! <3 <3 <3 *gives a deep bow* Wishing 2016 to be a better year than before~ :D It's time to click the completed box...
