"누나~..." A voice called as he turned to face her, who was sleeping on the bed. "누나... It's time to wake up~.."
"5 more minutes..." She mumbled before covering herself with the cover again to continue on her sleep. But that doesn't stop the male from his mission to wake her up. He smiled and began planted a kiss from her forehead down to her collarbone, making her to giggle. "Haven't you had enough kisses last night?" She sleepily moved away from him and put a hand on his chest to keep a distance.
"When you're near, I'll never get enough." He stated and leaned in to give her a short sweet morning kiss as his hand landed on her nape to pull her closer. Her hand that was on his chest slowly went to his nape to play with his hair as they kissed. "Sweet with a hint of bad breath." He teased after pulling away and giggled when she glared at him.
"Woonie!!" She whined and pushed him away slight as she tried to get out of bed, only to be stopped as he wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her back on the bed before hovering over her. Trapping her with his arms on each side of her head that were keeping him afloat from crushing her with his weight. "Does Jaehyun or Taeil 오빠 know that you snuck out again?" She asked if his roommate or older member knew about his late night retreat and he just shrugged.
"They won't mind, as long as I don't get caught by the media."
Nara rolled her eyes at his confidence and pushed him again to make him fall onto the bed as she quickly escaped to the bathroom.
The two met back in 2017 after he was bought to the playroom by Little Haechan when he turned and disappeared into the hallway, making the caregiver to search the whole building for the missing 4 years old, only for him to come back with a trainee trailing behind. From that day on, he will come and help in taking care of the Littles whenever he's free up until he debuted with NCT.
The two became a couple after NCT 127's North America Tour back in 2019, where JungWoo suddenly had the courage to confess to her about his feeling. At first, Nara kindly declined at the thought of dating him since he was 2 years younger than her, but JungWoo worked hard to convince her that he didn't mind about her age, he only mind about their true feeling for each other.
"누나, don't care about what people think on you dating a guy 2 years younger than you. There are still folks out there dating someone with a 3 to 10 years age gap, but that didn't stop them. Those people who judge us don't know anything about you or us. I fell in love with you ever since I met you in this playroom. Plus I'm 21 years old, so I am legal to date you. There's no wrong in that." JungWoo wiggled his eyebrows as he said the last sentence, making Nara to giggle and shook her head. "Beside... you'll have an adorable boyfriend that everyone will be jealous of for sure."
Now, it has been 4 years since they started dating and also managed to keep the relationship a secret from the media, management and managers except the members. Other than that, JungWoo would sometime sneak out at night or right after his schedule ended to come to Nara's apartment for his weekly cuddles whenever he's too busy to help her with the Littles. At first, Nara was surprised to wake up in the morning and found someone lying next to her with his arm wrapped around her as he came after she went to bed.
*Flashback
"When did you came? How did you entered?" She whisperedly asked before turning to face his sleeping figure and brushed his hair away from his closed eyes. "You really scared the hack out of me." She then planted a kiss on his forehead as she caressed his cheeks.
"Morning누나." A husky voice replied with his eyes still closed, startling her. "5 more minutes..." He pulled her closer by the waist and snuggled to her neck before planting a kiss on her skin, making her giggled.
"I need to prepare for work." She said to him and played with his ear. "I believe you do too, before your manager and members found out you're missing."
"I already told Jaehyun형...that I'm sleeping at your place...before sneaking out." He sleepily answered, snuggling even closer to her before he opened his eyes to stare at her. "I need my weekly cuddles and you're 3 weeks overdue." He immediately frowned as he pouted.
"You're the one who was too busy to come to the playroom, not me." With that said, he whined and leaned in to bite her neck.
"Kim JungWoo!" JungWoo pulled away to view his bite-mark on her neck after receiving a slap on the back from his girlfriend, making him giggled.
*End of flashback
"누나!!!" Little Sungchan shouted as he ran inside the playroom with Little Jaemin while Shotaro and YangYang just walked there holding Kun's hands.
"Hi, my babies.." Nara chimed happily as she greeted the four of them before giving them each a big hug. "Where are the other? Taeyong오빠said there are 7 of them."
"Lele and Minmin are on their way here with him, while JungWoo is bringing Haechan here since the two decided to go buy some snacks for everyone." She smiled at Kun's reply and nodded as a respond.
The boyfriend managed to return to the dorm just before their manager could noticed that he was gone for the night. Thankfully for the fact that Nara lived near to their dorm, so it was no problem for him.
"누나...찬이왔어요!! (Channie's here!!)" A small voice cheered as the door opened and two heads popped in with a big smile. The caregiver who was just playing with Sungchan and Chenle was startled by the cheer but went to greet the two late comers.
"You're late..." She said after giving Haechan a big hug and let him to play with his brothers. "And you know better that you can't be out with them alone for so long. The fans might recognise him and be suspicious."
"We were looking for everyone's favourite snacks and brought extra for the pantry." Answered the boyfriend and pouted before whining as she pinched his cheeks. "不要捏我. (Don't pinch me.)"
"我捏你不会痛的. (It won't hurt if I pinch you.)" Nara replied, making him to disagree by shaking his head.
"会痛的. (It can hurt.)" He said as he pouted again while Nara just smiled and planted a kiss on his cheeks. Ever since they got together, JungWoo had been trying so hard to learn Chinese, just to have a conversation with her even though they could just talk in Korean.
But he was determined to learn the language and Nara never stopped him, instead she helped him and will have a few short conversation for him to practice. JungWoo also asked a few of their Chinese members for some short lessons.
"Your Chinese is improving." She softly said to him and patted his head as he blushed at his improvement. "We'll be having a full Chinese conversation in no time."
The two took care of the Littles together until JungWoo had to leave for his schedule, but Nara was fine with it since she won't take any risk of exposing their relationship to the management. But sometimes, it will get lonely whenever promotion weeks or tour or any hectic scheduling was planned for them came rushing in, because the couple would had to spend less time together.
But... Nothing could stand in the way of JungWoo's weekly cuddle with his girlfriend, thus if he needs to sneak out to her apartment after his schedule, he will risk it.
"姐姐... can Gigi want milk please?" YangYang shyly asked after a few hour of playing and the caregiver just smiled before nodding. "Nana too!! Want aw-man milk please?"
"Nana, it's 'Can Nana want aw-man milk please?'" YangYang confidently corrected his fellow 4 years old, making Jaemin to repeat the slightly wrong sentence and Nara giggled as she shook her head.
"Gigi...Nana... It's 'Can Nana have some almond milk, please?' We don't use want if we are asking for something from someone." Mark came and corrected them, thus earning a pat on the head from the caregiver. The 5 years old gave her a big smile before running back to play with the other.
Nara excused herself to the pantry after asking the two toddlers to wait for awhile while she makes their milk and putting Mark in charge. After that, it was nap time and JungWoo came back just after Nara put Chenle into his crib.
"Did your schedule ended early?" She asked when she surprised to see him at the door. He quietly closed the door and walked up to her. "JungWoo?"
With that, JungWoo suddenly went to hug her, wrapping his arms around her waist with his head leaned on her head. He suddenly sighed and hugged her tight as if she was going to disappear.
"Is something wrong?" She softly asked before he just hummed as a respond. "Can you tell me what is it?"
"I somehow remembered that I had a dream last night that you suddenly disappeared after we got into a big fight and never came back." He mumbled and sniffled. "I don't know what we were fighting about, but I do know that I don't want to lose you ever." His voice suddenly cracked before whimpering as he cried and hugged her tighter. "Please don't ever leave me. I love you so much that I don't know if I can function or live my life without you in it."
Feeling sorry for the dream he had about her, Nara returned the hug and caressed his back as she comforted him. It breaks her heart to see him like this and she apologized to him even if it wasn't her doing.
"I'm so sorry for leaving in the dream, Woonie and I promise I won't ever think or have the thought of leaving you like that." She said to him and patted his back, signalling him to pull away slightly before she cupped his face and wiped his tears stained cheeks.
"Now... I want you to forget everything about that dream because it won't happen because you already told me what happened. Everyone knows if you told someone about your dream, it won't happen in real life. So, you don't have to worry about it, ok?" Nara gave him a kiss on the cheeks and nose before giving him a short sweet kiss on the lips.
"I love you, Jagi. So much." He said in a husky voice after they pulled away.
"I love you too, Woonie. Very much."
