"Mom?"

She ran towards her, almost letting both them fall. "Hiii!!!" Her mother greets her. "You've gotten smaller, did you tried a new diet or something?" Nari laughs to shake it off. "Did you Sungchan already? Where is he? Also Jaehyun, did you see him mom?" She stammers at her mother. Looking around for her brothers. Because she knows that they miss her mom more than she does.

"Yes, I have and I'm happy to see them. They're not here right now because they had something to do. But we had a good time together, we even had dinner together. The four of us did, Me, your dad, and your brothers." Her mother smiles.

Nari was taken aback, she felt a bit hurt, she didn't know her mother was here. And her family had dinner without her. They didn't invite me? Or even inform me. She mentally scoffs.

Unbelievable

Surely there's an explanation for this. "You had dinner together?" She asks to clarify, to which her mother replied. "And they didn't tell me? Or you didn't encourage them to inform me?" She asks in a calm tone. Her mother now gives her a worried look.

"Now Lily-" Her mother calls her by her name, her English name. While Nari rolls her eyes in disbelief.

"I dont mean it like that. Your brothers said you had something to do, they said you were hanging out with your friends. I see your boyfriend over there." She smiles and points and Jeno. Which makes them both startled. "Mom he's not-"

Her mother started to see a familiar face. She went to take a closer look at Jeno. "Hold on! I know those eyes. Is that Jeno?" She smiles in shock and takes a big hug to Jeno. "Hi Auntie Minji!" Jeno greets her. "Oh my god! Look how big and handsome you are. No wonder you're dating my daughter." Jeno ears turn a bit red.

"Auntie, we're not dating." He had to brust her bubble. "Oh?" She questioned.

"He's my bodyguard mom." She clarifies her mother.

"Oh? My mistake? Just a bodyguard?" She asks. "Yes mom just a bodyguard." Nari said.

Jeno didn't know why. But he was kind of sad when she said just a bodyguard and nothing else. He would've appreciated more it if Nari said a good friend. Or maybe something else. Why does he want to know?

As Nari and Mrs. Jung were talking, another voice of the Jung residence came calling for the bodyguard. He found him there. "Oh? Nari you're home. Okay-" "Yuno greet your sister properly please." Their mother scolds him. Jaehyun sighs "Hii Youngsook welcome home! We missed you!" He says sarcastically. Nari just responded him with a thumbs up.

Jaehyun's attention goes back to Jeno. Before he says what he really needs to say, he excuses himself from them. He turns to them. "Excuse me, I'll borrow Jeno for a bit. Him and dad also need to talk." And they walked away.

"Okay, my dad says he has to talk to you. And after that we have to go. Now, I told my dad to give you at most fifteen minutes. Alright? Meet me in the garage. I'll have everything prepared by then. Okay?" He talks to him like a child. All Jeno can do was nod. And they parted ways. Jeno arrived in Mr. Jung's office.

He gives a knock, and waits for the door to open. As the door opens Jeno greets Mr. Jung and a bow before he actually goes in. "Jeno, take a seat." Jeno do as told. Mr. Jung asks his bodyguards to give him some privacy. The bodyguards now have to guard from the outside.

Now the two are left alone from the room all comfortable. "Now, I heard from Jaehyun, you had to accompany him on a mission, so I won't make it that long." Mr. Jung he states.

"Now, it hasn't been long nor short when you first started this job." He starts off. "The next few weeks will be quite a headache." Mr. Jung sighs. "You will be helping in missions with NCT. So you will quite miss a lot with Nari. So are you willing work with that? Working in NCT and still being Nari's body guard?" He asks.

"If I can't remember you didn't like each other, correct?" Jeno nods in response. "Do you would drop this job and go work in NCT?"

There was a silence, in the room. To be honest, Jeno was quite fond of Nari already. The two became close. Jeno has a gut feeling that he shouldn't quit this job. But a little voice in his head says he should leave. At the same time it also says he shouldn't.

"Uhhh" he stutters. "Im not sure uncle. This job did make me and Nari close. But I think I should test the waters a bit. Like working with NCT and this job. If I can't take it anymore, I can quit the bodyguard job." Jeno sighs.

Mr. Jung sighs in agreement. "Alright, perhaps I should give some time. And if something is up you have to tell me." Jeno nods. "That's it. You should go, or Jaehyun might scold you." Mr. Jung jokes. Jeno smiles at him and thank him for his time.

He stood up and as he was about to leave Mr. Jung calls him again. "Oh yeah Jeno, I almost forgot to tell you. Expect something from me, I sent something at your house. Just to inform you." He says. "Right, I'm looking forward to it." Jeno bows at Mr. Jung and he dismisses him.

Jeno out of the room now, he takes his phone out of his pocket, to check the time. He still has a few more minutes to spare. Instead of being early and going to Jaehyun, he uses his remaining time to go to Nari.

He takes the stairs to his room, running around the halls there, and stops in Nari's room. He knocks on her door, and waits for it to be opened. It didn't open directly, Jeno being impatient he tried to knock again. As proceeds to do so, the door opens.

"Lee? What are you doing here?" Nari was surprised. Jeno pants being a little out of breath. Just mentally preparing himself for his mission for tonight.

"Did Jaehyun chase you or something? You're done talking to my dad?" She asks in a low voice. "Yeah umm... listen-" he stammers. To Nari he look like a doofus indeed which made her smile.

"What? Why you smiling like that?" Jeno stops his tracks and why she's smiling. Nari expression changes immediately, "Smiling? I've no idea what you are talking about" she tries to defend herself. Now it was Jeno smiling at her.

Nari reminds him why he was here? Why he was knocking in her room. And randomly calling her. "What did you call me for?" Jeno regains focus. "Right- umm.. I'm here to umm.." he stutters. Nari just gives him a blank stare. "I'm going on my first mission." He says.

Nari just showing him a tad bit of interest. "Wow, okay, ummm have fun out there? I guess." She pats him on the shoulder. "Yeah." He says leaving them  standing there awkwardly at each other. "Is that all you wanted to say-" "Yeah, umm I should go Jaehyun hyung is waiting for me." He finally says to her. As he tries to leave. Nari gets a grip on his fore arm.

"Jeno-" she calls

Jeno wanting to question her, he became more stunned. When he was pulled into Nari's embrace. Which makes him question more about the girl's sudden action. This time the silent was comforting them. When Nari then says, "Please stay safe! Like don't die okay? Umm also Jaehyun oppa." Looks up at him. Jeno gives her a smile smile of reassurance "I will." Nari now releases Jeno.

And Jeno bids her a good bye and leaves the hallway and runs straight down the stairs, to run to garage. Meeting an inpatient Jaehyun.

"Took you long enough." He says as he starts the car. And they leave the Jung Residence.

"Lee Jeno, prepare yourself, since you have a full fuckinf tornado coming towards us." Jaehyun says as he steps in more power to the gas.

What came next were a blur and yet he can remember them clear as day.
