(im sorry i took so freaking long~ im so sad with the news of sungtaro leaving nct :((( but i guess they chose to debut in smnewbg together with the rookies. Let's just hope for the best.)

A few months passed and they were actually getting ready for recording and having a comeback as a whole now. After what happened, doyoung and renjun mentally noted to be careful while slipping into headspace, since they're all busy now, it would be a mess if they suddenly started to be little again like how haechan and mark right now at the dance practice room.

"They're crying again."

Doyoung mumbled, only him and renjun could hear at the very corner of the room while the others watched mark and haechan being comforted by the parent figure of the group. Sure enough doyoung was one of those, but funny enough haechan wailed even more when doyoung tried earlier. Even renjun, mark and haechan are "die hard fans" of renjun.

"Figures, they're tired as fuck, and maybe the thought of messing the choreo triggered it since both of them are literally part of two units. It's not easy."

Renjun stated as he opened his water bottle, doyoung nodded in agreement, patting his face towel on his cheeks and neck.

"For some reason, watching them being babied makes me want to be babied too-"

"Hyung, i can baby you."

Renjun jokingly raised his brows up and down making doyoung throw his face towel at renjun's face.

"Fool, you know we'll end up being in little space together if that did happen."

Renjun chuckled at this and threw the towel back at doyoung. The others are scrolling through their phone now since its rest time, taeyong and johnny are comforting mark and haechan now.

This made renjun stand up and go through step by step in slow motion for him to get the details right, doyoung saw this and decided to join him. They were just whispering to each other since they don't want to disturb others rest time.

"Shouldn't the left arm raise a little higher? I saw haechan at the lead earlier, perfectly executing the choreographer's moves."

Doyoung whispered as he copied where the arm exactly was in the dance.

"Hah shit, i think i need some milk."

Renjun jokingly said and doyoung stifled a laugh.

"You're right, should we get some? I mean the others bought coffee, not even including us."

"Wah, they even bought those big babies some milk."

Its not like theyre jealous, not at all. Totally not.... But renjun and doyoung would be lying if they didnt feel a little sting and left out right now. When this happens they know they're this close to slipping. 

"Hyung, me and renjun will go out for a while."

Doyoung said in hush voice since mark and haech are slowly sleeping at the floor with their heads on johnny and taeyong's lap.

"Oh? To where?"

Doyoung hesitated, his mouth opening wanting to say it but he's not that blatant and straightforward to say what he want to say, except renjun is perfect for that.

"To buy some milk, hyung. Kidding but also not. Anyways just at the 7/11."

Taeyong tilted his head at renjuns answer but nonetheless he nods and tells the two to be back before 6pm.
