'Hug Xiao Na tightly, so that you can feel the hug from him.' Renjun answered and hugged the plushie.
"Are you hugging him right now?" He hummed and wiped away his remaining tears. "姐姐 can feel your hug now." She said and giggled, before replying, "Our Junnie give the best hug." Making the boy to giggle, putting her at ease just listening to his giggle. "Do you think you can continue filming now? Or you want to rest first? You can rest for a while if you want."
'Junnie want to finish filming quickly and go home to 姐姐.' Answered Renjun with confidence and Kun ruffled his hair as the other giggled. "Be a good boy for 哥哥们, ok? Rest well, eat well and don't forget to stay safe, ok?"
'Ok, 姐姐. I promise.' He replied and nodded as if she can see him. 'We'll get back to filming now. Take care, guys. See you guys in a few days.' Yuta continued. 'Bye, 姐姐. I love you.' Renjun added and whined when Chenle and Haechan chimed in saying 'I love you' to her, making the other to laugh. 'She's our 누나 too, you know?' said Haechan.
"I love you too. All of you. Be good to each other." Nara said to the boys and Johnny hang up after everyone said their goodbye. "That's take care of everything." She continued and wiped away her tears before feeling something heavy on her lap and looked down, just to see Jisung sleeping lying on her lap. She lifted him up to a shoulder hold and patted his back.
"We were so occupied with Renjun that we forgot about him." Johnny said and they nodded as they agreed. "I feel sorry for him." Ten continued and ruffled the sleeping baby's hair gently.
"It's ok, Yoo Qin. I think Jisung understand what his 형 is going through and didn't want to make a fuss out of it. That's why we hardly heard anything from him." Nara assumed while the three just nodded.
"Or maybe because Lele is not here with him. He follows everything Lele does like a shadow." Nara giggled at Taeyong's remark and shook her head.
"I'll better get Jisunggie to his crib now. Be right back." She slowly got up from the floor and went to one of them room where Jisung's baby crib was at and laid him down. "Have a good nap, our Jisunggie." She kissed his forehead and put his mouse plushie beside him before leaving the room.
A month has gone by and the members continued to make sure Renjun and Nara stayed separate and for his weekly therapy session, the older members took turned in going with him despite the younger boy's demand on wanting the caregiver to be with him.
"He seem quiet and lose some interest in drawing lately. How he's like at home?" Dr. Kim asked Taeyong as it was his turn to take the Little to his session. "Renjun is usually very excited to draw a month ago."
"Well... Since Renjun and Nara were asked to be separated, he tends to be alone and he hardly speak to anyone unless needed from what the dreamies told me. The company even asked Nara to take a month off and prevented us to bring him to see her at her apartment just to minimize the chances of them meeting." Taeyong answered and sighed as he turned to Renjun, who was sitting on the lounge chair while hugging his plushie while reading a storybook.
"A month off? What about the other? Whose taking care of them when they're Littles?" questioned Dr. Kim as he was surprised and worried.
"Since our schedule is not that packed, we took turns in taking of them." The leader stated, while Dr. Kim just nodded. "And since they knew, they tried not to ask for Nara or when she's coming when Renjun around."
"And has Renjun been eating lately? I noticed that he's lighter than last month."
"He tends to eat less and Jaemin had a hard time making him eat at least half a bowl of rice."
"How's Nara then?" Taeyong let out a heavy sigh and turned to the Little again and back to the doctor.
"From what her brother told me, she's just as the same as Renjun. She talked less, she eat less, she even smiled less now." He said and the doctor just nodded.
"Dr. Kim... Can please we stop this? We clearly see that none of this is working. Renjun had never been so anxious to the point that he almost fainted when he misplaced that plushie and he has way more breakdown than he had since 5 years ago. Please?"
"From what I seen and heard are, both of them are having separation anxiety. They can overcome this if you guy can give them all the support they need."
"Until when? Until one of them ends up in the hospital due to malnutrition for not eating?" Taeyong sternly asked and let out another heavy sigh. "I know you think this is best for Renjun to be less dependent on Nara, but if this leads to them going to end up in the hospital, then I'm not going to let this continue."
Taeyong went to Renjun and the toddler looked up at him before giving a small smile. "Time to go, bud." Renjun put the book aside and held one of his arms up since the other one was holding his plushie as Taeyong lifted him up and bowed at Dr. Kim. "We won't be coming back, so please cancel all the appointments for now on. Have a good day."
The two walked out and a van was waiting for them. As Taeyong bulked the toddler to her car seat, he smiled and patted his head.
"Let's go meet with Nara 누나." Renjun immediately gave him a big smile and excitedly nodded.
