"Baba!" Mark, Jaemin, Jisung, Haechan and Shotaro shouted excitedly, spotting Youngjae entering the waiting room after the concert. They dashed over, their faces lighting up with joy. Youngjae crouched down, his arms wide open, and laughed as they ran into his embrace.
For privacy, the documentary cameras were instructed by the BJYM's members to avoid filming Nara and the Littles or capturing any personal interactions with them. Nara had brought the Littles to the concert to support her boyfriend and his bandmates, seating them in the VIP section, safely distanced from the fans. They had a fantastic time watching the show, their excitement carrying them backstage when the crew signalled it was time to meet the members.

"Baba, you were awesome!" Mark beamed as they pulled away, his eyes shining with admiration. Youngjae smiled, thanking him. "And what about 삼촌?" Daehyun teased, joining the moment as the other members greeted the Littles, with Nara observing fondly from the side. "You were awesome too!" Mark replied, making everyone cheer.
"Did you enjoy the concert?" Yongguk asked, earning enthusiastic nods. Jaemin and Haechan quickly began recounting every highlight, their animated storytelling prompting chuckles from the group. "How about you, Roro-chan? Did you like the concert?" The leader softly asked the timid 4 years old Japanese and he nodded. "I'm glad you like it."
"형... dance... good," Jisung managed shyly, aiming the compliment at JongUp. Everyone melted at his adorable effort, the room filling with soft laughter and admiration.
"Aww, thank you, Jisunggie," JongUp replied, giving his hair a gentle ruffle as Jisung's face broke into a bright smile. The room buzzed with warmth as the Littles basked in the glow of the moment.
"Great job on the concert, you guys," Nara chimed in, stepping forward with a bouquet of flowers, which she handed to Yongguk. The group beamed and immediately pulled her into a warm group hug, their gratitude palpable. As they pulled back, Youngjae leaned in to plant a soft kiss on her cheek, making her blush as he flashed her a proud smile.
"We really appreciate you coming, Nara. It means the world to us," JongUp said sincerely, his words only deepening her blush. Without missing a beat, Youngjae stepped in front of her, his arm stretching out like a playful barrier. "Alright... alright... that's enough interaction from you two," he quipped with mock jealousy, making everyone burst into laughter.
Nara shook her head, amused, as the Littles joined in, giggling at Youngjae's overprotective act. The group's laughter filled the room, blending the warmth of friendship with the joy of the Littles' endless energy, as everyone basked in the light-hearted moment.
"Where's Taeyong-씨? I thought you said you were coming here with him?" Youngjae asked, glancing around the room as the two of them were sitting together on a couch, chatting. Taeyong had offered to come along, partly to keep an eye on Jaemin and Haechan, ensuring they wouldn't get up to their usual mischief.
Nara chuckled. "He went to the restroom just as we were coming down here." Moments later, Taeyong emerged from the door, only to be immediately spotted by the Littles.
"Bibi!!" they called, running toward him excitedly. Grinning, Taeyong let them guide him to meet the BJYM members. "Bibi, meet Yonggukkie 형, Daehyunnie 삼촌, and JongUp 형," they introduced eagerly, each of the BJYM members giving a polite bow in greeting.
Taeyong then tilted his head, smiling but clearly curious. "Wait... Why is Daehyun-씨 the only one you guys call 삼촌, while the others are 형?"
The Littles and the members chuckled at his question. Yongguk explained, "Daehyun thought it would be fun since Youngjae called them his sons, so he wanted to be their favourite uncle."
Daehyun grinned, turning to the Littles. "So, am I your favourite uncle?" he asked playfully. They all nodded with big smiles, making Daehyun cheer and the room filled with laughter, each person enjoying the affectionate and humorous exchange.
"Tonight's concert was incredible. You guys were amazing," Taeyong complimented, his admiration clear. The BJYM members smiled and thanked him graciously.
"You really are one of the legends in the third-generation K-Wave," he added, clearly impressed. The members exchanged looks, touched by his words, and thanked him once more with grateful smiles.
Everyone enjoyed their time together, chatting and playing with the Littles. Taeyong quietly observed the way the BJYM members interacted with Nara and the Littles, noticing how attentively they cared for them-much like NCT and their labelmates did. Seeing the members treat Nara and the Littles so warmly filled him with gratitude.
He felt comforted knowing that Nara had found people who not only accepted them all but genuinely cared for them. Now, he was at peace of letting her go.
"Hello?" Nara answered her ringing phone, stepping away from the group. "Mom? Is everything okay?"
'Mama... when are you coming home?' a soft, sleepy voice murmured, bringing a smile to her face. She motioned for Youngjae to come closer and put the call on the speaker. 'Junnie miss Mama... and is sleepy.'
Renjun, who had turned, had been living with Nara and her mother since his hiatus began a month ago. That night, Nara had left him at home to avoid overwhelming the four-year-old and asked her mother to look after him.
"Mama will be coming home soon, okay, Junnie?" Youngjae answered gently, while Nara listened with a smile. "Why don't you try going to bed with Nini first, hm?"
They both chuckled quietly as Renjun let out a little whine. 'Junnie wants Mama...' he protested, letting out a sleepy yawn.
'Let's go find Xiao Na, and we can wait for Mama together in the living room, okay?' Nara's mother suggested. They heard soft footsteps as Renjun and Nara's mother made their way to fetch his beloved fox plushie. 'Would you like some milk, Junnie?' she asked.
'No...' Renjun replied softly, yawning again. 'Mama, can Junnie have Baba?'
"Yes, you can. Do you remember where Mama put it?" Nara replied, to which the toddler hummed affirmatively. "Ask Nini to get it for you, okay? Mama will be home as soon as I can."
After a few quiet minutes, the gentle sound of Renjun's soft snores came through the speaker. The couple exchanged a warm smile, chuckling softly as they realized he'd fallen asleep.
'He drifted off without his Baba,' her mother whispered, sharing in the laugh with them. 'But he's sucking his thumb,' Nara observed with a small shake of her head, while Youngjae chuckled softly beside her.
"Let him sleep for a bit longer, then you can tuck him into his crib. I'm just going to send the boys first before heading home. I'll see you in a few." Nara told her mother, who hummed in agreement before ending the call.
Turning back to Youngjae, she sighed with a smile. "Looks like it's time to go."
Youngjae nodded, and she raised her voice to the group. "Time to go, boys." The kids and the members responded with a collective groan, their playful complaints making the couple and Taeyong chuckle. _____________________________________________________
