3 weeks before 12th grade begins. Still no Somi. The police continued to search—but quietly. The media lost interest, heading off to obsess over a Center City triple homicide. Even the Enniks moved out of Seoul almost one and a half years after Somi disappeared. As for the eleven, something shifted in them, too. Now if they passed Somi's old street and glanced at her house, they didn't go into the insta-cry mode. Instead, they started to feel something else.

Relief.

Sure, Somi was Somi. She was the shoulder to cry on, the only one you'd ever want calling up your crush to find out how he or she felt about you, and the final word on whether your outfit made you look perfect or it made you look like a dork but again, she was like someone who controlled these eleven. Now they were free, they could do whatever they want. They started to feel happy.

And they were. For two years, anyway.

"So... what did you want to talk about?" Lisa said, hoping inside that he doesn't say what she was expecting

"Lisa, I am so sorry but I don't think so, our relationship should continue. I am sorry but I wanna break up with you. I love someone else and our relationship isn't going really fine. I am sorry Lisa, I am so sorry" Kun said apologetically, Lisa nodded. "Bye Lisa. I am sorry once again. You are amazing, I hope you find someone better" Kun said before standing up as he left her there, in the cafe alone. 

Lisa bit her lip slightly. "Relax Lisa, just a normal heartbreak. You will heal. He wasn't that special" she told herself as she dug her nails in her palm.

After 8 months of Somi leaving, Lisa changed. She made new friends, Sorn and Minnie. She dyed her hair blonde. Her features became more mature and she looked better. She started to focus on her hobbies more and started to improve her grades. She even dated 3 boys and was now not very used to the spotlight. 

Lisa dialed Minnie "Um hey, can I come over, I wanna talk... Can I? Thanks. I will be there in 15," she said grabbing her purse and walking out of the mall cafe.

In the same mall, in the CHANEL store, there stood Jennie Kim

"This BLACK one or this BLUE one?" Jennie asked, waving 2 off-shoulder crop tops,

"Definitely the BLACK one, you will very hot in it, Kai will be head over heels for you" Joohyun answered raising her expensive sunglasses

"For the ninth time, I don't wanna date Kai," Jennie said eye-rolling

After Somi disappeared, Jennie became friends with Joohyun, she discovered both were fans of Harry Potter as they talked about it 24/7. Soon, they both became it girls of SNHS. Despite being it girls, Jennie's mom was very strict about her. She used to ground her to date. Jennie's mom wanted Jennie to date Kai, the son of her best friend, and Jennie was definitely not interested in him.

Jimin leaned seductively on the wall as he looked at the girl who was talking to her friend. Then he saw her walking towards her. "You again?" she asked him, "Of course baby" he replied. "Please, I am not your baby" the girl replied trying to hide her smile. "Oh come on Soojin, you know you love me," he said raising his eyebrow. "Of course, I do," Soojin said sarcastically. "So, let's go?" Jimin asked her as she nodded, grabbing her bag. 

Almost a year later after Somi disappeared, Jimin met Seo Soojin, she was new in the school and was in the same dance club he was in too. He started to court Soojin 2 months before. Aside from that he fully changed. No longer the cute bun, he was known as the hottest guy in SNHS. He definitely was living a better life now.

As Soojin and Jimin walked out of the dance club together, Jimin noticed Hoseok walk in. Hoseok noticed him too but they both passed each other an awkward smile and went their way. 

Hoseok placed his bag on the mattress of the dance floor. He greeted everyone with a bright smile. 

After Somi went missing, Hoseok changed from that bad guy personality and became one of the favorites of everyone. He was now a bright student, his grades improved immensely and he took up dancing club too. He was known as one of the best dancers in SNHS, if not the best. He made a lot of new friends too.

"So baby, why did you call me here?" Nancy asked Jungkook eagerly, Jungkook just looked at her with narrow eyes. 

"Uh Nancy, let's break up," Jungkook said in the bluntest way ever

"What, Why? We love each other then wh-" Nancy almost shouted. Jungkook cut her off by saying "Correction Nancy, you love me, I don't. It was a damn bet to play with you" Jungkook said looking at her 

"I hate you Jungkook, you are disgusting," Nancy said breaking into tears as she stood up and ran outside. 

and here is Jeon Jungkook, the school's most popular boy. Ever since Somi disappeared, he became the playboy. Playing with almost every girl in the school, from his enemy's girlfriend to his friend's crush, every girl. Jungkook also became the leader of the school's football team and made many friends but only he knows, he misses his old friends.

Taehyung pushed his hair back as he climbed out of the pool. The water dripped from his cheeks back into the pool. Rows of girls cheered from him but that didn't bring any smile to his face.

"Taehyung, you have absolutely outdone yourself this time," his coach appreciated, patting his back

The swimmer couldn't help but smile that only that particular comment, "Thank you coach, all because of you."

Taehyung, he changed the most. He was hit the most by Somi's disappearance. Why? because he had a tiny crush on her. Taehyung stopped being dorky and cheerful and rather became the deep and dark one. His blue hair was now gone and he had his black hair, which made him look even hotter, surprisingly his voice even became deeper. Taehyung developed a hate for love. It was his rule, never fall in love. Taehyung started to devote all his time to swimming and now he was the leader of the school swimming team.

Namjoon closed his book and sighed, "and the 10th chapter is also done. I also finished my speech and I wrote the essay as well" he said.  School for 12th grade didn't even begin and he was already done with studying 10 chapters. 

Namjoon decided to let go of those wild and bad boy traits and rather become the smartest one. He developed a love for books and studies. This year, he was standing up for the school president role. He got straight A+ in every subject and his parents were quite impressed. His study room became his favorite place and books became his best friends. 

Namjoon's phone suddenly rang from beneath the papers that were on his desk. It was a call from his friend, Jackson, as he picked up

"Hey Joon, I found out who else is standing up for the school president this year" Jackson almost shouted on the phone

"Oh really, tell me," Namjoon asked eagerly

"Im Nayeon, Lee Taeyong, Hwang Yeji, Oh Sehun, Jaebum, and Kim Jisoo" Jackson replied

"Jisoo" Namjoon said in a soft tone, not audible enough. 

"Oh thanks, Jackson, I need to go, mom's calling," Namjoon said ending the call. Memories of him and the eleven filled his mind. 

----------

"Are you sure, you are taking part in both school president role and acting?" Miyeon asked Jisoo eagerly as they both sat in the downtown cafe. 

"Yes, I am" Jisoo replied with a smile, which seemed more like a smirk. 

Jisoo became different as well. She got straight A+ in her grades too. She developed a love for acting and is planning to take the acting club too. She even became competitive and was planning to stand up for the school president this year. Jisoo improved her fashion sense too and was definitely proud of herself

"Oh my gosh, Taeyong is here. Do I look good?" Miyeon asked Jisoo in the most excited tone, Taeyong was Miyeon's crush. 

"You look amazing as always. Also just confess to him sis" Jisoo said not even bothering to look at Taeyong. 

"and look, he has got red hair. He looks so hot, I am gonna die. At least look at him" Miyeon said in a dreamy tone

Jisoo turned her face to where Miyeon was pointing. Of course, she saw Lee Taeyong, but with him stood Jin...

She immediately got reminded of those times. When Jin used to be her crush. 

Jisoo just looked back at Miyeon and continued talking randomly. 

"Miyeon looks so gorgeous there, doesn't she?" Taeyong asked Jin as they both paid for their americanos. 

"You both have mutual feelings, it shows. Just confess" Jin snickered. He and Taeyong walked out of the cafe. 

Jin noticed her, sitting there with Miyeon. He missed her too

Jin didn't change that much. He was still the parental figure who used to crack jokes 24/7. He took up the acting club this year and was definitely looking forward to it. Jin also made new friends but he preferred sitting at this home and watching dramas and maybe he was the only one who wanted the 12 back, together.

"Good Job everyone" The basketball coach shouted as he then signaled that the practice was over. 

Yoongi ran to get his towel to wipe off the sweat. The 2 hours of basketball practice was finally over. It was tiring much

"Here" someone threw the towel at him as he caught it easily.

"So you came to watch me today?" Yoongi said smirking 

"Of course, you played really good" She replied back as they both started walking out, as they intertwined their fingers. 

"You know my parents aren't home tonight," she said looking at him

"Does that mean, I can come over?" he said, teasing her fully

"Your choice" 

"Then I will come for sure" 

Yoongi was still the basketball team captain. Did he get himself a girlfriend? Yes. 9 months after Somi went missing, Yoongi met Soyeon and he started dating her 3 months back. Yoongi made some new friends too, more like the whole basketball team though. He developed a love for making and writing music.

As Yoongi and Soyeon walked on the street together, Yoongi noticed a truck standing outside "The Park Villa". 

"Oh My God, Yoongi is that you?" he looked up at Mrs. Park who was standing in the garden. 

"Um, Mrs. Park. Good evening, are you back? Yoongi asked 

"Oh yes, we are. You want me to call Rosie? She will be delighted to meet you again" Mrs. Park asked

"Oh, I will meet her later. I am actually going somewhere right now. I will see you later" Yoongi bowed respectfully

Of course Rose saw him through her room's window. "He got himself a girlfriend. I thought he was gonna be single forever" she whispered to herself

Rose fell on her bed, remembering the times she spent here. 

"It feels so good to be back" she heard her sister Alice shout. 

3 months after Somi disappeared, Rose along with her family moved to Australia. Even though it was for her parent's business, she felt better there. Away from memories of the "FAMOUS 12", but now she is back. Her black hair is gone and now she was all red. A little change doesn't hurt, right? She even learned how to play the piano and guitar. 

 Everyone changed and everyone has got a new life but till how long? The clock is ticking and soon, the secrets and truth will be revealed.
