*Time skip ahead five years*

It had been five years since BTS disbanded and everyone had finished their military services and were working on their solo careers. Jimin was now a judge on a Korean dance competition and rarely made music since that took up most of his time. Jungkook continued making music both in English and Korean but also entered some taekwondo tournaments and won several awards. Taehyung gave up modeling and focused on making music while also taking minor roles in k-dramas (even some that Jin was in). The Hyung line focused on making music (except for Jin who only made music that was related to k-dramas he was acting in). They also settled down with their soulmates and had a family. Suga had three girls, Jin had two boys, J-Hope had one son, and Namjoon and Mary only had one child; a girl named Hea who was a miniature and female copy of Namjoon. Namjoon originally wanted more kids when he imagined a family but after they had a long talk, they figured that only having one kid would suffice and it would also give them more time to focus on their careers rather than be parenting multiple kids. Namjoon also thought it would be easier for one child to join him on tour than trying to get several kids to go with him on tour.

Hea was four years old (meaning that Namjoon and Mary waited a year before having their kid). Hea was close to all the member's kids, especially J-Hope's son Tae-il who was the same age as Hea. Because of that, Mary built a strong friendship with Hayoon. As for Haru, she was hired as Namjoon's bodyguard but also managed a lot of his documentation in English. Hea saw Haru as her aunt and the rest of the members as her uncles but the kids were just her friends. They were all one big family and life was going well for them.

At times, Namjoon would have performances away from home and he had to travel but his workload was way less than when he was in BTS because now he was focusing on himself and not being the leader of a group. The armies were very happy that Namjoon and the others live streamed on V live often so they could get to know their kids better. Hea had picked up a passion for dance and took ballet lessons and sometimes Namjoon showed her off in his V lives. Mary had found an at home job that was related to her career and that way she could spend time with Hea while also feeling productive.

All in all, their lives were stable and happy. However, there were still many armies who were sad or mad that BTS had disbanded and demanded for them to get back together or at the very least make more music as a whole group every now and then. To compensate for that, BTS created an album that consisted of new remixes of their old songs and new photos of them as solo artists. That seemed to calm the storm at least for the time being.

*Time skip ahead another five years*

Now that ten years had gone by since BTS had disbanded, the maknaes also had their kids, and everyone else's kids were around the age of 9 (give or take a few years), Namjoon and the others got together and decided to plan a one time 10 year reunion BTS comeback concert along with a new album that featured 10 never released and brand new BTS songs. They decided to have concerts in as many major cities as they could so they would be on tour for about a whole year to promote their comeback album before saying goodbye to BTS for good. Since this was a special event, their families were allowed to travel with them on the tour and hang out backstage.

"It's gonna be just like the old days, isn't it Namjoon?" Mary asked him during their meeting with the boys.

"Almost, except Hea is with us now," Namjoon said with a smile.

"I get to see appa (meaning dad in Korean) perform!" Hea said, excited.

"Hea, why aren't you playing with Tae-il and the other kids?" Namjoon asked her.

"I got excited when you guys talked about the tour. I wanted to dance on stage with appa and my uncles," she said.

"Let the adults plan the tour and you go have fun with the others ok?" Mary kindly told her.

Hea headed back to the other kids while the members and their soulmates continued discussing the upcoming tour. They discussed which major cities they wanted to perform at, which venues to book, how many shows per venue, and they also planned to film a behind the scenes DVD that would be included in the album of new songs. They wanted to make this as memorable as possible. They chose to theme it around their time as BTS so they started with songs from their debut and continued on until the last album they made, finished with a few of their new songs, and closed with "Life Goes On" and "Let Go."

About a month after taking concept photos for the new album, recording the new tracks, rehearsing and rememorizing their choreographies, and getting the final details set, they packed up and headed off to their final BTS tour with their families. All of their shows were sold out within days, the preorders for their new album were through the roof, and their new songs were taking over every music billboard possible. Everyone was so hyped up for their return and last goodbye. To be extra cautious about not getting swarmed by paparazzi or fans, they flew in a private jet and accessed their jet through a non-main airport entrance. While on tour, they all shared their memories from 10 years ago and how it made them feel younger being on tour together once again. However, it was now more special because they were traveling as a much bigger family. They had a few interviews squeezed into their already packed schedule to talk about their comeback and what their career as BTS meant to them and what they wanted to continue doing after they finished their final tour. They also shared their experiences about starting a family.

Throughout each tour day, their kids began to pick up on the moves and the song lyrics and would often imitate their parents backstage, kind of like a mini version of BTS and it was adorable.

"I want to be like my appa one day," Tae-il told Hea.

"Yeah, I want to be like my appa too," Hea told him.

"Our uncles look really nice in their colorful outfits too!"

"Yeah, I like the fireworks at the end too. The colors are really nice."

Mary overheard their conversation and interrupted them.

"Did you say you can see colors? You shouldn't be able to unless you've met your soulmate," Mary said to them.

"Eomma (meaning mom in Korean) I don't know what you're talking about. I've always been able to see color."

"Yeah me too," Tae-il added, "Have you not always been able to see color?"

"I can see colors now but...not until I met Namjoon. How is it that..." Mary questioned herself.

She then realized what had happened and she called Hayoon over.

"Hayoon, you're never going to believe this but our kids are soulmates."

"What? What do you mean?" Hayoon asked, shocked.

"They're seeing in color and they said they've always been able to do that. I think they made eye contact when they were babies and don't remember seeing in black and white ever."

"Oh wow! That's unusual but also explains why they've been so close since they were toddlers."

"I'm so excited to tell Hoseok and Namjoon!" Mary exclaimed.

She directed her attention back to the kids.

"You don't understand now, but when you get older, we'll explain why you can see in color and how the world works ok? For now, you continue being kids and have fun."

"Ok eomma," Hea said with a smile.

Once again, the final day of their tour arrived and much like when they disbanded, they had a video play behind them and thanked everyone for their support through the comeback and their solo careers and they promised to continue being in the media for many years to come. They reexpressed their gratitude to everyone who helped them through their music career and their transition into the solo world. Jungkook, who now had almost as good of English as Namjoon, took over most of the speech to help Namjoon out. The other members worked through their English to express their gratitude as well. They once again said "We will be a family forever ARMY," as the fireworks went off and they lowered the stage and just like that, BTS was no more.
