Morning came along quick. It was a sunday, Deiji was going back home today. To everyone's dismay, her week with them was over. She had to go back home.

Jungkook woke up early in the morning in a slight panic. Deiji wasn't next to him or anywhere in his room. He immediately stood up and went to look for her. Jungkook opened the doors of each room, waking up some accidentally.

"Ji?" He would call out. "Ji-ah?"

The boys started exiting their rooms, rubbing their eyes.

Jungkook went over to Taehyung's room and opened it. A smile replaced his worried face seeing the scene before him. Deiji and Taehyung sleeping happily. A small smile showing in the corner of their lips. Someone held Jungkook's shoulder, he turned to see who it was.

"I'll miss her." Jin said.

Jungkook laughed lightly, agreeing. "I will too, hyung."

"Wake them up soon. I'll make breakfast." He pat Jungkook's shoulder and went to the kitchen.

Jungkook entered the room, walking towards the bed. He sat next to Deiji's sleeping body. Her calm breaths raising her chest up and down. He brushed her hair gently, scanning her features. This week was the first time he's actually seen her. He's been so busy and only got to speak to her through video calls and such. Last week was the very first time he got to hug her, hold her hand, talk to her.

He felt guilty he wasn't there.

He didn't want to let her go anymore.

He didn't want her to feel detached from him any longer.

But she had to go. She's got school, friends, and the rest of her family back in Busan.

"Aish..." He sighed out.

Deiji stirred in her sleep. She turned her body, now facing Jungkook. She held her hand out, laying it on Jungkook's thigh. Her eyebrows furrowed, that didn't feel like a pillow to her. She stirred awake, slowly.

Jungkook smiled, watching her.

She looks up, eyes half-open. Once she finds out who's there, she smiled. "Oppa..."

"Hi..." He greeted in a whisper manner. "Had a good sleep?"

"Mhm..." She stretched her hands out, letting out a satisfied groan. She shot Jungkook little grabby hands and he picked her up. "C'mon, let's wake up TaeTae."

Jungkook went over to the other end of the bed where Taehyung was. The older boy slept with a pout. "TaeTae..." Deiji leaned over with the support of Jungkook. She went in front of his face and gave him a kiss on the nose. Tae sturred in his sleep. He smiled a bit.

Jungkook knew his was already awake and probably just wanted another kiss from Deiji.

"Go again, Ji-ah."

Deiji giggled and kissed him again. Taehyung did not move an inch.

"Taehyung, I know you're awake. That's enough of stealing Deiji's kisses!" He hit the boy playfully. Tae laughed out, opening his eyes. "Okay, okay! I'm up!"

He sat up slowly, rubbing his face after.

"Let's go!" Deiji shot her fist up, getting into a superhero pose. Jungkook laughed and repositioned his hold on her. Taehyung got out of bed and the trio made their way to the dining room. 

Jin was facing the stove, making eggs for everyone. Jimin, Hoseok, and Yoongi were sat on the couch, conversing with one another. Namjoon was also in the kitchen, preparing something else, closing the top cupboard in the process. Jimin noticed the trio enter and waved. "My angel is awake!" He exclaimed, making Deiji smile. He walked up to her, taking her from Jungkook's arms and spinning her around.

The other boys smiled. Trying to forget what today was all about. They didn't want to think of that right now.

After a while, breakfast was ready and they all ate. The group conversed with one another about anything but the events happening. They went from ice cream flavors to dog breeds to favorite nursery rhymes (the tomato song being one of them).

Once breakfast was over, they had to dress up to go out. Deiji knew what was coming. She had totally forgotten when she woke up. Her heart started to beat faster, she was nervous...afraid even. She took a deep breath and ignored it, dressing herself up with the help of Jungkook every now and then. "Alright." Jungkook helped her with her jacket, letting her stand on the bed. He sighed, holding her shoulders.

Deiji looked up at him. She knew exactly what his face said, even if he was silent. She sighed back as a reply, shooting him a smile. No words needed to be said. "Let's go." Jungkook picked her up once again, exiting the room.

He did not want to put her down until they arrived at the train station. He wanted to hold her for as long as he could.

The guys exited their rooms as well, trying to dress as casual as they could to fit in the crowd. Namjoon handed Deiji her small backpack, helping her put it on. He shot her a smile as he did so. They all put on their shoes, and masks, and started making their way to the station.

The car ride was quiet. Deiji felt bad. Had she caused this uncomfortable atmosphere? She thought to herself. Sighing once more, she tightened her grip on Jungkook's jacket. The boy noticed and started rubbing her back in a soothing manner.

"We're almost there." The driver announced. The boys nodded and waited patiently.

The car parked around the corner. The driver stepped out first, opening the door for the guys. "Let's go." Jungkook said and stepped out with Deiji. The others followed behind. The group knew they were risking something by being outside all together, but they could care less about that now. It was still early in the morning, so there weren't much people around.

They walked to the train station, stopping just by the entrance. This was Deiji's stop. Jungkook put her down, a sigh escaping his lips. "We're here." He muttered.

This was it.

They had to say goodbye.

They weren't sure when they'd see her again.

It could be years from now.

Deiji shook her head and held onto Jungkook's leg. "No..." She whispered.

"C'mon Ji-ah, say goodbye to the guys first." He had to be slightly stern to her. He let her go from his leg and gestured to the member next to him.

I suggest listening to The Call by Regina Spektor, and take your time reading for this part :')

Deiji walked over to whoever was next to Jungkook. The boy kneeled down to face her.

"Hey, Angel." He said, fixing a little bit of Deiji's hair. He smiled a bit. "We can play princess when you come back, okay?" Jimin looked at the little girl, getting her to look at him too. She nodded, getting his hand from her hair, fiddling with his fingers. "Okay..."

Jimin laughed softly and pulled her into a hug. "Be good back at home." Jimin smiled bashfully, sniffling. He was going to miss her a lot. Deiji gave him the spirit of a child once again. The games they played were great adventures. He loved each and every bit of it. Deiji hugged him back, giving him a kiss on his cheek as they pulled away.

She turned to the next person. They did the same, kneeling to meet her gaze. He pulled down his mask, shooting a sad smile. "Hey, Kiddo." The two didn't speak much for a while. They just gazed at each other. "I'll miss you. You're always welcome in my studio, okay? You'll always get a free listen to all the songs I'll be working on."

Deiji giggled and nodded. "Okay, Suga Oppa. I'll come there all the time again."

Yoongi gave her his signature gummy smile.

He enjoyed her joyful presence in his studio when she'd pass by.

He loved watching her as she listened to his songs, giving opinions along the way.

His studio would feel lonely without her smile lighting up the room.

"I'll miss you too." She went over and gave him a hug. Yoongi hugged back, patting her head when they pulled away. Deiji turned to the next boy as they kneeled down as well.

"Hello TaeTae..." Deiji whispered, remembering their little sleepover the night before. "Hello there, Princess." He smiled his boxy smile, immediately enveloping her in a hug. Deiji hugged him tighter. "Who will sing me to sleep if you aren't there?"

Deiji gave Taehyung a new friend.

A new companion.

He enjoyed her presence so much.

They had so much fun together with Jimin.

He wished he had more time with her.

"I still can! You can always tell your Eomma to play you the song I sang to you last night." He pulled away from the hug. "Anythime you want, got it?"

"Mhm!"

"Be a good girl in school for me, okay?"

Deiji nodded. They hugged once more and she went on to the next person. Like the others, he knelt down. "Hey, Bonsai."

Namjoon smiled, his dimples coming into view. "Have a safe trip back home. I'm going to miss you." Deiji nodded. He turned her around slightly, removing her backpack. He placed it on the ground between them. "I prepared something for your trip this morning."

He opened her bag and pointed at its contents. "Here! I placed a few packs of those gummy bears in the kitchen." He pulled a pack out to show her. "I figured you'd want to snack on them on your trip." Namjoon placed it back and zipped the bag up, helping her put it on again. "Don't forget to ask for help if you can't reach anything." He pointed at her playfully. Deiji nodded with a smile, hugging him. Namjoon closed his eyes, letting the hug sink in, then pulling away.

"I'll see you soon, Bonsai."

Namjoon ushered her to the next person. By the colorful trim on his shoes, she already knew who it was. "Hubba!"

"Bubba!" He exclaimed back, picking her up and resting her on his hip. "I'm going to miss my best friend!" Hobi said, giving her nose a little boop. Deiji immediately wrapped her arms around his neck. Hobi hugged her back, swinging left and right. "Stay safe, okay Bubba? Don't forget me!"

"Bubba won't forget Hubba. Promise."

Deiji made Hobi's week even more colorful than it already is.

Her smile lit up the entire room.

Her giggles were contagious.

He felt so much more joy with her around.

Hobi showed his pinky and locked it with Deiji's giving his end a kiss. She did the same.

"The promise is locked." He stated, putting her back down. "Go greet your eldest oppa goodbye." He smiled and ushered her to the last person.

Jin.

Deiji smiled as she approached him. He was the first one that talked to her on their way home. They've already formed a bond then. Jin sat down on the floor, crossing his legs. Now he was face-to-face with Deiji.

He smiled, eyes glistening a bit.

He reached over and held the stuffed keychain on her bag's zipper.

"RJ will take care of you, little one." He whispered. "You need to take care of him too, got it?"

The little girl nodded. "I will."

"Good, now come here and give me a hug!" He laughed pulling her towards him. Deiji wrapped her arms around his neck, swinging left to right. Jin sniffled, laughing a bit more. Who would've thought that Jin would tear up.

He loved her presence so much.

She gave him another person to take care of.

Jungkook was already old enough to take care of himself.

Jin missed caring for someone, and Deiji was just what he needed.

He finally had someone to cook breakfast for again.

Jin was going to miss her...a lot.

"Oppa, don't cry!" Deiji giggled wiping the tear that was threatening to fall. Jin laughed, tilting his head up to stop the rest of the tears. "I'm okay. I'll miss you."

Deiji hugged him again and stepped back. "I'll miss you too."

"Okay, I think you need to go now..." He turned her around to see Jungkook standing behind her.

Jungkook let out his hand, she took it and they walked closer to the entrance. The other boys stood and watched the two. Some shooting one last small wave at her.

Jungkook stopped right by the entrance. He knelt down, holding her hand still. "Deiji..." He said softly. The little girl turned to him. "Thank you for coming here and spending the week with us. I loved having you here and I hope we can see each other again soon." He voice cracked at the end. He looked down and inhaled a sniffle. "Be safe, okay? Always remember that Oppa loves you and don't forget us."

Deiji smiled, her eyes glistened much like Jin's. She blinked the light tears away and nodded. "I won't forget you Oppa! Never!"

Jungkook chuckled. "That's good." He pulled her in for a hug and kissed her cheek. The hug lasted longer than any other hug. Jungkook didn't want to let go. 

But he had to.

He pulled away and stood up. "I guess this is where I leave you. I'll watch you from here until you go inside." He pushed her softly towards the ticket checkers. Deiji nodded slightly and took little steps towards it. She looked back at the guys and gave them a huge wave, they gave it back.

This was it.

She really was gonna leave.

She inhaled sharply and paused right in front of it. She closed her eyes, holding her ticket in between her small fingers. "No..." She whispered.

She didn't want to leave.

She didn't want to go back home.

She wanted to stay here.

She can't.

No...

"No!" She shouted out and immediately turned around, running back to Jungkook. The boy did not hesitate to bend down and scoop her up as she jumped and tightly wrapped her arms and legs around him. "No, no no!" She whined, hiding her head in his shoulder. "I don't want to go, Oppa..." She sobbed out. Her sobs slowly turned into small cries. Tears soaking in his clothes.

"Don't let me go..." She cried into his shirt. Jungkook closed his eyes, rubbing her back. "Ji-ah..."

He bent down, prying her arms away. She held onto his body as tight as she could, whining multiple times. Jungkook let his arms go but she kept her self suspended. "Oppa..." She sniffled, shaking her head. "I don't want to go home!"

"Please..."

As much as Jungkook didn't want her to leave, he had to let her go.

Her school's there.

Her friend's are there.

He can't let her go away from that.

"Deiji, don't you want to go back to your friends at school? I bet they miss you!" He tried convincing her. She shook her head, tears continuing to fall.

"I don't have friends at school."

What?

Jungkook turned to her, confused.

She was the sweetest girl, how could she not have any friends?

"They don't like me in school." She continued "They pull my hair, break my crayons, push me on the playground. They say I lie when I tell them about you...how cool you are..." She explained. "I don't want to go back home."

"What?" Jungkook hugged her tigher. The urge of wanting to protect her grew stronger. How could that happen to her? "Does Eomma know?"

Deiji shook her head. "I don't tell Eomma..."

Poor thing.

Jungkook sat down on the ground. He started tearing up. The boys stepped closer, concerned.

Jungkook blamed himself immediately.

Deep inside he knew it wasn't his fault.

But wasn't that his job as a brother?

To be there if their parents weren't?

Where was he?

He wasn't there.

He never was there.

The boy hugged Deiji even tighter, mumbling apologies. He closed his eyes, thinking. "Okay, okay." He told her. Jungkook inhaled and quickly stood up, carrying Deiji who continued to cry. The guys went over to the two, they waited for Jungkook to explain.

He shook his head at them.

"She isn't leaving."

"What do you mean?" Jimin asked.

"She isn't leaving." Jungkook stated once again. He slowly pried Deiji of his neck and handed her to Jimin. Deiji did not hesitate to wrap her arms around the older boy the same way she did to Jungkook. Jimin whispered sweet comments to her, trying to calm her down.

Jungkook pulled out his phone from his pocket, dailed a number, and put the phone against his ear. The boys and Deiji waited patiently, listening to the faint dial tone.

"Yeoboseyo?"






























"Eomma. Deiji won't be going home today."
