"Papa... watch Luey?" Jaemin waddled over to Changkyun, clutching his stuffed bunny tightly. The rapper blinked in confusion, his eyes darting to Nara for help.
She was lounging on the couch, gently cradling a sleeping Haechan in her arms. Earlier, Haechan had been racing around the playhouse with Hendery when he bumped his forehead on the doorway, bringing his playful antics to an abrupt halt in tears.
Nara giggled softly at Changkyun's puzzled expression. "What Jaemin meant was 'Bluey,'" she explained with a smile.
"Ahh, got it," Changkyun chuckled, heading over to the television to find the show. As soon as the familiar theme song started, the Littles-Dreamies, XiaoJun, Hendery, Shotaro, and Sungchan, minus Haechan-scampered over to the media corner, eager to settle in and watch.
"I need to come by more often," Changkyun mused as he sat down beside Nara before softly ruffling Haechan's hair.
"Kyunnie, you just got back from your tour," she chided gently, her voice soothing. "Take a break, for once. Enjoy your week off."
He nodded, smiling at her concern, but leaned in closer. "I know, but I really had to stop by," he said with a grin. "Nathan asked me to tell you something... and of course, I had to see my boys too." He raised his eyebrows mischievously, prompting Nara to roll her eyes playfully. Leaning in, Changkyun whispered something into her ear.
"Really?" she groaned, pouting when he pulled away. "I haven't had the time-or the inspiration-to write anything yet."
"Nathan's already written and recorded a few demos for you," he said smoothly. "We can listen to them at my studio tomorrow, on your day off. What do you say?"
Nara sighed, her resolve weakening. "Fine," she agreed, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

A few weeks later, the Littles came rushing down the hallway, their joyful giggles filling the air as they sprinted toward the playroom, Johnny and Jaehyun hot on their heels. The sound of their laughter echoed through the corridors, a welcome reprieve from their otherwise busy schedules.
"Jisunggie wins!" Johnny proclaimed with exuberance, and the Littles cheered enthusiastically for their youngest.
Jaehyun leaned down, his voice a playful whisper as he pointed toward the closed door where soft singing could be heard. "Looks like Mama's having her own concert in there."
"누나~ We're here!" The vocalist called out with a grin, lightly knocking on the door. Mark and Jaemin giggled as they pushed it open with a little help from Johnny, eager to join Nara as her angelic voice floated through the air, setting a calm yet warm atmosphere beyond the threshold.
As the door swung open, they were met by a vision they almost didn't recognize-Nara, her platinum blonde hair gleaming under the light, left untied, flowing to the gentle breeze from the air conditioning. She wore her familiar pink apron, yet something about her felt entirely different after her day-off yesterday.
