Chapter Text
Hello!
I'm so sorry for adding on a second epilogue like this! Yep, I have more epilogue content to add - just a little, but I think it's content that would be meaningful to readers who enjoyed this fic, so I wanted to put in the effort to add it!
This fic is lucky to have found a special place in many people's hearts, and when I realised I had additional, final epilogue content to add, no matter how trivial it seemed, I knew many readers would appreciate it and find it deepening to this fanfiction.
Honestly, I don't want to make this too long, so I'll get straight to the point. Remember the song that Minju wrote and composed together with another member of the band? Lmao please actually I can't remember well to be completely honest but I'm pretty sure Minju wrote the lyrics and this was an important plot point in the fic - because it led to her confessing that she wrote that song about Yunah, right? The competition-winning song. And in the fic there was actually a line of the lyrics from this song.
I know most readers probably thought it was a fictional song - but no! It was a real song, and this final epilogue is mainly to share with you all the lyrics. I think when I wrote the fic, back then, I actually subconsciously included this song because the lyrics suited their relationship. So I must share with interested readers, no? I know everybody who sees this will absolutely enjoy the song if they go listen to it; I don't think it's a song many know, and also I think the vibes fit this story like a glove. That's why I wanted to put in the effort to type this final epilogue chapter to share it... And surprise, I'm not just going to tell you the name of the song, I'm going to type out a big bunch of the lyrics here, so this chapter can not only serve as an epilogue but also director's cut and PLAYLIST as well! I know playlists usually have more songs - playlists are fic fanmixes but I don't want to stuff in other songs that aren't as significant and actually weaved into the fic as this one. So I will just type out, yes I'm actually gonna type out because I want to select the lines, although I'm selecting plenty of lines tbh, I will type out the lyrics that I feel resonate with this fic below in a nice quote box!
The last interesting piece of information about this story I want to share with you before that is... Remember I said it's a boy group fic I rewrote including changing the genders for illit? Yep, the song is from that boy group too! To share with you a little final info about this fic, it was originally - the boy group version - written in 2014. But back then I hadn't moved to ao3 yet and so I ended up leaving this and a bunch of my other old fics on livejournal which at that time was going obsolete as everyone moved to ao3 - and not only that, I locked a bunch of my fics including this in a locked livejournal community so basically nobody could read them lmao. It was years and years before I realised in my own heart how much I loved this fic, and it was years more before I could help it find its way to its final destination, where it truly was destined to belong, read by the eyes of not any other fandom's readers, but illit. For yunah and minju, and the other girls. I could not imagine this work ending up any other way. I hope you can feel the same as me, if nothing else. And please, enjoy this final song to wrap up this lovely story, knowing how it is part of the fic's lore and knowing that I'm grateful for you reading these words beyond measure ❣️ Below I'll type my selected lyrics from a song in a nice quotation box for you to enjoy. Thank you again for reading my words up till here.
"I LIKE YOU" by got7 (I recommend you immediately go check this song out for your listening pleasure after reading the lyrics of this song which is the only song in the playlist for this fic!)
Listen to me carefully, I like you
Your small height, your high-bridged nose, your cherry-like lips
Without any technique, when you put your lips on mine
You don't know how pretty you are
It's so sweet that I get shocked each time
But why don't you know how special you are?
No matter what girl you bring me, I'll pick you
You're not flashy, but you softly glow
Like the moon in the night sky
Like the flowers in the field
You seem plain, but you're special
Like a gem that can be seen
To people who know
More than anyone in this world
More than any other girl
PS. Sorry again for the author's note below - as I explained it was supposed to be at the end of the first chapter haha
