Present day

December 31st, 2018

Namjoon put the diary back in the box and looked at all the rest of the stuff, which were pictures and little trinkets from places they had been to together. Namjoon stood up from the bed, wiping his tears.

"I can do this, it's time." he thought to himself, locking the apartment and leaving. As he entered the car park, he saw Ava holding baby Ara and the rest of BTS.

"What are you guys doing here?" Namjoon's question

"In 45 minutes, it's going to be 2019. Ara will turn 3. We wanted to celebrate it together." Also, we wanted to say goodbye to Aro. " Yoongi said as he opened the van door for Namjoon.

Namjoon gave them all a sad smile before taking Ara and getting into the van.

"We're here," Ava said as she arrived at xxxx Hospital.

"Let's do this..." Namjoon's voice cracked as he handed a sleeping baby Ara to Ava as the boys went into the hospital to a room they knew all too well these past two years.

"I will let you guys go first." Namjoon said as he opened the door, revealing Aro, who was unconscious and hooked up to a life support machine.

One by one, they went in and surrounded the bed. Everyone was trying so very hard to hold their tears back. It was also hard to see her like this with so many scars all over her body, which she got from her fall. She didn't die that night, but she was badly hurt and hasn't woken up since that day.

"Hey, little dove, uhm, I was never good with things like words or feelings, but you understood me." Yoongi began as he sat next to Aro, moving her hair back.

"I miss you so much." I haven't been the same since. We all haven't been the same. We were all so very very lost. I hate to say this, but we almost disbanded this past year. We couldn't take it physically and mentally. We gave up, ready to call it quits.

"You were the one that held us up and kept us together." Joon was ready to make the call and you won't believe what changed our minds. It was Ara. She walked in singing Joon's part from Save Me. A part that was written about and for you. You were right. As always, Ara is good for us.

She is a mini you at 3 years old, keeping us going so we can help others love themselves. " Yoongi went on as he let his tears take over.

"The death threads came back and we couldn't handle it, but our fans, Army, kept giving us motivation to go on and we thought of you, Noona. Jin Hyung even makes your chocolate chip cookies and hot chocolate when we are feeling down. It reminds us of you, our home. " Jimin spoke while wiping his tears.

"We have come a long way on our own these past 2 years. I got my own food channel. It's going great so far. Ara loves watching me cook. Don't worry, I'll keep Namjoon out of the kitchen. Speaking of which, Namjoon and Yoongi both did solo albums. They make you proud, Angel. " Jin spoke before turning around and crying.

I became an actor, Noona. You would have loved it. I just — I just — " Taehyung broke into tears as he couldn't handle it.

"Noona, we all wish you were here. We miss and love you so much. I started working out more. So much so that they call me "muscle pig" and everyone is scared of me. I did it to keep my mind off of you, but it didn't help. You were my mom, Noona. I was 13 when I joined and you have been there ever since, helping me and watching me grow. I promise Noona. I will make you proud. " Jungkook cried out, hugging Taehyung.

"The centre is going well. I help out now and then. I have been teaching dancing at the centre. Yoongi did a huge painting on one of the walls for you. I believe you would enjoy it.We will do everything to keep you proud of us. We will keep moving forward for you. Goodbye little one, we will never forget you.

"You will always live on in our hearts." We will protect Ara the way you did for us. " Hoesok cried out as he and the rest of the boys left the room so Namjoon could have his alone time with Aro.

"I miss you, baby." It's been so hard without you. I fell back into depression, so did Yoongi, but like the boys said, Ara helped us find our way back. Can you believe she is 3 already? "

Namjoon chuckled lightly.

"She is just like you." She has nothing of mine besides my dimples. I'm so sorry you couldn't see her first steps or hear her first word, which was Yoongi. She is always with him, which makes me happy because it means you are still with us. If we didn't have Ara, we don't know what we would have done. "

"Aaron and his girl got married like you said they would. Kade opened up his self-dense classes full time. BTS has grown and we have become known around the world, like you said. I wrote two songs about you. One is called "fake love." It's about how we don't love ourselves and how we put up a front. The other is Idol, which I released on your birthday, August 24th "

"We don't care what others say about us. We will do what we want to. We will be ourselves and love ourselves. Ara is in good hands, my love. Even if I don't know what to say when she asks where you are, we will tell her what a loving, kind, amazing mother she has. I made sure of that. Emily has been locked up for what she did to you. I love you so much. " Namjoon cried his heart out.

"Midnight already? Happy New Year, my love. Goodbye baby, I'm so sorry. " Namjoon couldn't stop his tears as he switched the life support off and watched Aro flat line.

After a few minutes, he got up and kissed Aro's head and left the room. Meeting the boys outside in the parking lot, he made his way towards the van, ready to leave, before stopping and turning towards the hospital.

Let's keep our promise and live on doing what she loved best. Helping others and teaching them to love themselves. For Aro. " Namjoon said, as the rest said the same.

BTS made their way to the youth centre, where they were hosting a party in memory of Aro and all she had done.

to continue what she started. They will never forget her as she was the one who made them into what they are today. Something they will pass on to others.
