I follow Yoongi into Jin's restaurant through the kitchen entrance. He says he wants to surprise Jin, but I'm just worried I'll give him a heart attack. I feel a sense of sadness from Yoongi, but when I ask him, he says that he's alright. Stopping in the bustling kitchen, he sends a text to someone, and after finally getting a response he drags me along with him.

As we approach the private dining room, I hear the loud voices of all Jungkook's friends and I smile at the memories of how they actually scared me when we first met. They would stare and watch everything I did. I was a broken person then, and somehow they still made me feel welcome. When we're at the door Yoongi intertwines his fingers with mine, winking at me.

"Play along with me..."

He looks so mischievous I can't resist. He opens the door drawing the attention of everyone. Jin, being the ever gracious host, jumps up from his seat.

"Yah! Yoongi! Who's this? You have a girlfriend?"

"Yes Hyung... This is Fiona. Fiona, meet Jin. He owns this restaurant."

I bow to Jin, and smile brightly to him. Taehyung is trying to contain his laughter, gaining a sharp look from Yoongi. I look around and see Jimin, Namjoon, and... oh my... Hoseok... My heart starts pounding seeing him. He doesn't meet my eyes, and I'm thankful for that.

"Yoongi! Oh my God! Is she related to... Wah!!! This is too much!!"

Jin is almost screaming, and I start to hide behind Yoongi.

"Jin hyung... Chill... You're scaring her. What are you even yelling for?"

"Yah! I'm still older than you... Show some respect! She just looks like... You know..."

"Who Hyung?"

"Sophia... She looks like Sophia. Prettier though. Jungkook will freak if he sees her..."

The door opens behind us, and before I had a chance to prepare, they enter the room. My eyes go wide, and I drop Yoongi's hand.

"Jin hyung I could hear you down the hall. Why am I freaking out now?" Jungkook looks amused by his Hyungs, but I'm just staring at the small girl who's standing next to him.

"Yoongi's new girlfriend... Fiona... She looks like... Well, see for yourself."

Jungkook has a smirk on his face as he turns to me. Yoongi starts laughing loudly, causing Taehyung and Jimin to follow. Jin seems to realize he's been tricked, and he walks to me quickly. I feel his hands on my shoulders and he lowers his face to be even with mine.

"Sophia?"

"Hi Jinnie... How are you?"

I'm crushed into his arms while he is yelling at all the other guys for not telling him. After a few minutes, Jungkook manages to free me from his hold and brings me to where our daughter is sitting. She's staring away from me, like she can't look at me. I feel such regret for ever leaving her. I've never even held my own child, and here she is, 6 years old...

I sit near her, while Jungkook kneels in front of the chair she's in.

"Olivia-ah. This is your Eomma."

I smile at her, but she doesn't return it. I watch as she looks at Jungkook and shakes her head. I feel my heart beating erratically, and wonder if my nightmare is about to come true.

"Appa... I want to go home please."

Jungkook looks shocked, and he raises his eyes to see my hurt expression. I shrug, and nod at him to do what she wants. He closes his eyes for a minute, and when he opens them I see tears threatening. He smiles at me, while Yoongi puts a hand on my shoulder. Everyone is looking at us, making this moment so much worse, so I stand and walk out of the room.

"Sophia-ah... Wait."

I turn to see Jimin running to me. He takes me into a hug and my tears that I've been fighting start flowing. I try really hard to stop them, and I push Jimin away gently. I give him a weak smile and point to the bathroom. I don't speak because it will betray me, but he lets me go. When I get inside the room I stare at my reflection in the full length mirror. Anger at myself takes over and I begin pounding on it with my fist where my face shows. I don't even realize I'm screaming from the pain my heart is causing. The mirror shatters, slicing my hand but I don't stop.

A pair of arms come around me, grabbing my arms to stop me from hurting myself further. I collapse to my knees sobbing loudly.

"Shhhh... It's ok... She's still here. She is just scared..."

"J-Jimin... I-I sh-should go b-back to LA... I c-can't h-hurt her m-more..."

I hear the door click open and a gasp at the blood that's splashed around the room and running down my arm. Before I can look up he's in front of me, grabbing my injured hand.

"Love... What did you do? Jimin hyung can you get a first aid kit?"

He lifts me from the floor and sits me on the counter. I scream a little when he holds my hand under some running water to clean the cut. I look at his focused face and wish I could turn back time. He's gentle, and makes sure there is no pieces of glass in the cut. When Jimin brings the first aid kit, he takes the disinfectant and wets a sterile pad with it. He looks into my eyes and gives me a peck before placing the pad on my cut. I hiss at the sting, but bite down on my lip to not cry out.

"I'm sorry Sophia. I know that didn't go how we wanted it to. Please... Try again."

"I don't think it'll work Jungkook. She hates me. She should hate me... You sh" He pressed his finger on my lips to stop me from going any further.

"We made promises to each other Love. I told you I love you. I promised to get a divorce, and make my life with you. Do you think I could ever hate you? You promised to not run away from me again... I'm trusting you to keep it. Please... Olivia does love you. She is just scared..."

"Ok... I will try... I'm sorry Jungkook... I'm so so sorry..."

He finishes bandaging my hand, and brings me in to a hug. He doesn't say anything else, just holds me tight kissing my head while rubbing my back. When I've calmed down enough, he helps me off the counter, and takes my hand to lead me back to the dining room.

Jungkook

When we arrive at the restaurant, I can feel Olivia is nervous. I try to reassure her, and we walk down the hall to the private dining room. Hearing Jin's loud voice I can't help but laugh to myself thinking about the ear plugs... He's yelling about how I'm going to freak, when Olivia and I enter the room.

"Jin hyung I could hear you down the hall. Why am I freaking out now?"

Every eye in the room is now on us, and I immediately regret doing this here. Olivia is tense, and Sophia is staring in awe at her. Jin finally realizes that's he's been punked by Yoongi, and he is now suffocating my love in a tight hug. I go and get him to release her, bringing her to meet Olivia.

She sits near Olivia, and I introduce her. Our daughter just looks away from Sophia's hopeful smile.

"Appa... I want to go home please."

I can feel Sophia's heart break. I look at her and know she's hurt deeply. she's trying to be brave and accept whatever Olivia wants though. I take a deep breath and try to figure out what to do. All the eyes are on us and Sophia runs...

"Angel... Why did you do that? She wants to meet you and make things right."

"I'm scared Appa... What if she doesn't like me?"

I feel better hearing that. She's just afraid of the rejection she'll never receive. Taehyung comes and sits next to her and he holds her hand.

"Livi... Listen to your uncle Tae... I know that your Eomma loves you. She did things that she thought were best to protect the people she loves most. To protect you... I know it's scary, but if you give her a chance, you'll never regret it."

I give Taehyung a thankful smile when Olivia nods at him. I leave her with her Uncles and go to find Sophia. I hear her cries from the bathroom and rush in to find Jimin holding her, but blood everywhere, and the mirror broken. Fear grips me, but I move to her anyway. I bend down in front of her to see a nasty cut on her hand, and meet Jimin's sad face.

"Love... What did you do? Jimin hyung can you get a first aid kit?"

Picking her up, I sit her on the sink counter and immediately start to clean the blood from the cut to see it better. She screams a little, but chomps down on her lip to stop herself. I concentrate on making sure there's no glass in her hand, and when Jimin comes back with the first aid kit, I disinfect it before bandaging her hand.

When it's finished, I convince her to come back to the dining room with me. She is trembling, but let's me lead her. We walk back in and most of the guys are in a deep conversation in the corner. They look really serious and sad. I wonder what that's about, but focus on my daughter who is talking with her uncle Tae. Sophia sits down near Olivia, and I hold my breath when Tae hyung nudges Olivia to look at her mother.

"Hi." Her voice is soft and nervous, but it makes Olivia look at her.

"Oh... What happened to your hand?"

"I had a little accident... But your Appa fixed it, so I'll be ok."

They just sit and stare at each other, like they don't know what to say. I am just about to interfere and try to help when Jimin puts a hand on my shoulder and shakes his head at me.

"Can I have a hug Olivia?"

The nerves in her voice make it come out shaky, but she just smiles in the beautiful way she does. Olivia stands and walks slowly to stand in front of her, and then she grabs onto Sophia. I see the shock on my love's face at the grip, and she wraps her arms around her daughter for the first time. Everyone watching has tears flowing down their faces.

"Eomma... I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings."

"Oh baby girl... Don't ever apologize for not doing something your uncomfortable with. I understand that you need time. I'll always wait for you."

Olivia dissolves into tears in her mother's arms. The moment is beautiful as they cry together for the years they have missed. Sophia is stroking her hair and Olivia eventually falls asleep. I walk over to them and sit next to Sophia, pulling her into my arms and resting her head on my shoulder.

"i told you it would be alright love." I whisper to Sophia. She nods, but doesn't take her eyes off of our daughter. Yoongi approaches us and smiles, but I can tell he has something serious to say. I hold Sophia a little tighter, and lay a hand on Olivia's back to join my fingers with Sophia's.

"We need to talk guys. I have some answers to alot of questions. And some plans need to be made to keep you all safe."

My stomach clenches hearing my hyung talk about my girls being in danger. We listen intensely while Olivia sleeps soundly in her mother's arms. Aera is Ha-eun's daughter... Sophia's half sister... This is alot to take in for Sophia, who started shaking at just the mention of her 'mother's' name. I feel my blood boil with the thought of the way I was manipulated by Aera for all these years. She was never in a relationship with Rosé, who is now in hiding thanks to Yoongi's father.

"Jungkook... Sophia... What I need to say next is going to be very difficult, but I don't have another option... The 3 of you need to leave... Disappear... My Father will get you new identities with all the paperwork. You'll have money, and jobs (if you want them) lined up. A school for Olivia... But none of you are safe here. I wish we could find another way."

"What about Jungkook's family? His parents, and brother? You can't ask him to leave them behind and never see them again... And all of you! You're his brothers... If I go, then he and Olivia will be safe, right?"

"Sophia, Love... Stop it. You're not going anywhere alone."

"But Jungkook..." I kissed her to shut her up, and smiled at her flustered face when I stopped.

"Yoongi hyung... Is this forever? Is there a chance that in the future another solution can be found to bring us home?"

"I won't lie Jungkook... It may never happen. But my father will know where you guys are, and in an emergency he can contact you. For now, we just need to get you guys to a safe place, and I'll always be working to make a way to bring you back. I just don't know how long it might be."

"Can we say goodbye to his parents Yoongi?"

"I think it's best if you leave from here, with no more interaction outside this room. The plan would be that once Jin closes tonight, my father will come and bring you to a safe house. He'll have people there to make your new identities. When you've decided where you want to live, he'll make it happen within a day or 2."

"What about a phone call?"

"Sophia... When you went to Busan, you refused a phone, right? A phone call could tip our hand."

I feel her body tense thinking about the fact that we are going to have to do this. I can see her guilt written on her face, but it's never been her fault.

"Hyung. Make it happen... I'll miss you all though... Noone has ever had better friends."

I'm gifted with one of Yoongi hyung's gummy smiles before he stands to make the call. I look around at my other friends, and pause looking at Hobi hyung. I know he regretted all the things that happened, and his part in them. I have forgiven him, but never told him. I always thought I'd have all sorts of time.

I release Sophia and kiss her cheek before I stand and walk to Hobi hyung.

"Hyung? Could we talk?"

"Sure Jungkook. Here?"

"Yes... Yoongi hyung says we have to stay in this room... I want to tell you that I forgive you Hyung. I know you were not given a choice in what happened, and you saved Sophia's life. I am sorry for what happened, and not visiting you all these years. But I couldn't leave without telling you this."

I feel a soft hand on my neck, making me flinch. Turning I see Sophia with a look in her eyes I don't recognize. I turn to see she's put Olivia on a couple chairs against the wall so she won't fall, and I grin at her instincts.

"Sophia... I... I'm so sorry... I"

Sophia kneels before Hobi hyung, and places a hand over his mouth.

"I don't want to hear you apologize Hoseok."

"Ok... What would you like from me?"

"A hug..."

The surprise was genuine, but he scooped her into his arms immediately. She cried silently while he held her, and rocked her back and forth. I left them to talk while I say goodbye to my other brothers. I hope we'll all be reunited some day, but I need to accept it may not happen.

I look back to see Hobi hyung and Sophia speaking softly to each other, and he is looking surprised about whatever she's saying. Hmmmm... They have a shared pain, so maybe it's just about this. I watch him touch her belly and whisper in her ear... Is she?? No... She would tell me...

The next hours are spent expressing love and gratitude for all the hyungs. They each promise to work with Yoongi hyung to find a way to bring us home some day. It was hardest for me, and Sophia, to say goodbye to Taehyung hyung and Jimin hyung. They were both teary, and sorrowful at us having to leave. Tae hyung even admitted to me that he'd fallen in love with Sophia. I just smiled at him because I knew it all along. I hold no anger about it since she's an incredible woman. Who wouldn't fall for her?

When the restaurant is finally closed, we say our final goodbyes with hugs and kisses. I hope we see them again someday. Sophia and I sit together, cuddled up while watching our daughter sleep. Waiting for Mr. Min we don't speak much, but just hold onto one another. I will go anywhere for this woman, and she thinks I'm making the ultimate sacrifice. If I have her, and Olivia, I have everything I need. I'll make sure she knows this when we're settled.

A knock on the door comes, causing Sophia to startle. I reassure her, and go to open it. Mr. Min, and some men I've never seen, enter the room.

"Jungkook, son... Are you ready?"

I look at the 2 girls who are my heart then back at Mr. Min...

"We are sir. We'll be alright as long as we're together."
