Hello! Yay! It's crazy we're already on Chapter 10! Hopefully, if everything goes to plan, we're 1/5 way through. That's crazy, the time has really flown by!
DISCLAIMER: Please understand that they're a (non-blood related/found) family. So when they say, "I love you," to each other, it is only meant PLATONICALLY.
This chapter is literally filled to bursting with tooth-rotting fluffiness! There's a little angst, but that just makes the fluff even sweeter! Don't mind Jisung just living up to his baby girl expectations!

Now that I have your attention,
I hope you enjoy your two-week
stay with the past! I don't really
care if you spoil your future, just
try not to die. 😉 Good luck!

What the- "Guys, you got those notifications too, right? I'm not crazy?"

"Yeah. I think we all got them." Past Chan said a tad breathlessly.

What in the hell is going on? Is some time-traveler behind this? Erase? Like from existence? From reality? What about STAY? And Stray Kids? They told us not to die. Are we going to die? I don't want to die! Please no! No no no no no no-

"Hey Hannie, you good?" The older, more matured 2023 Changbin asked.

"Y-yeah. I'm good, just a little shocked. You know, with all that's happened this morning."

"Are you sure?" He presses his hand on mine, leaning in to me, asking a silent question. I push back, craving the affectionate comfort he gives. I said yes, just as silent, before answering his question.

"Yeah, 100% positive. Thanks."

"Of course. I'll always be here." He smiles lightly, he means what he said, just as easily as he does when he comforts me—or really any of us. He'll always be here to help me, I'm his little brother. I'm his 3RACHA maknae. I'm his family, as he is mine. We love and support each other just as much as we hate and fight, we build each other up, not down.

I return the soft smile, curling even further into his warmth. "I love you, you know that, right Bin?" He nods, tenderly wrapping his muscular arms around me. Immediately, the sense of home, comfort and safety is lulling me to sleep already.

I grip his silky-smooth shirt, to make sure he can't move away. He starts gently combing his fingers through my wenge-wood colored hair, soothing my previously panicked mind. Smoothing away my stress, just as fast and cosy as an iron on clothes. My eyelids feeling heavy, closing on their own accord. I'm out like a light.
