“Hey Mama...” A voice softly greeted after knocking as he entered the room that evening. No one was there except for the sick caregiver as Changkyun and her mother had just left  for a while to get a few of her things from the house to make her stay a little comfortable. Nara was reading the novel her mother brought to ease her boredom while she waited, looked up from her reading and smiled before greeting back.

“Hey Bibi..” She placed the book on her nightstand after marking the page with a bookmark. “How are you feeling? Better?” He asked her, sitting on the empty chair beside her bed after placing a plastic of apples on her nightstand. “I’m feeling much better now.” He nodded and smiled at her.

“How are the boys? I hope they didn’t cause too much trouble for you and Winwin today.” She apologised, pouting before Taeyoung shook his head and held her hand, caressing it, ensuring that nothing happened that morning.

“The boys didn’t cause any trouble for us, because of what Dede and Minmin said and I quote, ‘Mama will be sicker if we naughty.’” Nara giggled at the words and shook her head. “Even Dede ended up believing his own words.”

“I’m glad to hear that, Bibi.” He smiled again at her. “Did Mom tell you guys that I’ll be here for a few days?” The leader nodded at her question.

“Kun did told us first, but then Mom texted me about it after.” She nodded back and sighed at the thought of staying there, despite being traumatised. Yet she didn’t know that the leader and the whole group already knew about it. “Don’t worry. The boys are being taken care of until you recover. I promise, Mama.” Nara nodded again, giving him a small smile. “And I got a video message from the boys for you.”

Taeyong pulled out his phone and took a seat next to her on the bed, sitting on the edge as he scrolled through his gallery to find the said video. Nara moved closer to him before he pressed ‘play’.

‘Hi... Mama...’ All her 13 babies were in one frame and waved at her through the screen, making her squeal and Taeyong chuckled at her reaction. The worry the leader felt that morning faded away after seeing her, when he immediately rushed to the hospital to see her after Jaehyun and Jungwoo came to take the Littles home. ‘We... hope you... get.. well.. soon... and... we.. love.. you!!’ The kids each made a big heart with their tiny arms over their heads and cheered at the end. Nara chuckled with her eyes getting teary from the short but heartfelt message from her babies before whimpering a reply, “I love you too. So much.”

“It took an hour to teach them to say that. They were doing great when we rehearsed, but once I pulled out my phone to record it...” He remarked, pretending to be frustrated just to get a reaction from her and he did. She chuckled hearing his claim as she wiped away her fallen tears. “Winwin had to mouth the words for them behind me.” Nara continued to chuckle and nodded.

“Thank you for recording it for me. It was very thoughtful of you guys.” Taeyong pulled her into his embrace and patted her back as she cried.

“The boys and us just want you to make a speedy recovery and know that we’ll be there for you always.” He softly said to her and kissed her temple. “And the dreamies, especially Jisunggie want me to give you a kiss on the nose as you’ll always do to cheer them up.” He cupped her face after pulling away from the hug, wiping away her tears and planted a kiss on her nose, making her giggle.

“Thank you again, Bibi.” He nodded and hugged her again. “You’re welcome, Mama.”

“And what is it with you and insulting everyone in Spanish?” Questioned the leader as they pulled away and she giggled, shaking her head.
