[tell me where it hurts]

"Chaeyeon-unnie?"

"Mm? yAH SAKU-CHAN, DON'T USE YOUR PHONE WHILE EATING! now what is it Yuri?"

"Wonyoung said she doesn't have the energy to eat breakfast today," Yuri said, lying down on the couch, phone in hand.

It has been two weeks since their last meeting with the other members, now it's their long-awaited three-day break. The dorm 2 members noticed Wonyoung, IZ*ONE's maknae, has been quite distant and rarely ate.

There was one time, at 2am, Nako woke up to a loud cluttering in the kitchen, only to find the giant baby rummaging through the fridge.

"Wonyoung-ah, what are you doing?" Nako sleepily rubbed her eyes after spotting Wonyoung taking out a midnight snack.

Wonyoung jolted in surprise at hearing a raspy voice behind her. "Nako-eonnie.. uhm, just hungry." She didn't eat that day and so she snuck her way to the kitchen as soon as the members were sound asleep.

Nako gave her a smile. "How about this.. I won't tell Chaeyeon-eonnie you snuck here, if you won't tell them I ate with you..." She giggled, setting her penguin plushie and sitting beside Wonyoung. "Deal?"

The maknae knew her unnie rarely lies because she's known to be the 'down-to-earth' member, according to that one MC in Weekly Idol, meaning she does not have the heart to bend the truth so this tiny creature right here caused Wonyoung to stop in her tracks. After a few minutes, her eyes found Nako staring at her. She saw a hint of something in those doe eyes, but she wasnt sure what.

she might just be sleepy..

"Deal," They pinky swore to one another before digging into the bag of chips.

"Wonder what's gotten into her.." Hitomi said, texting furiously in her phone, Yuri eyeing her curiously.

"Who're you textin'?"

"Nanya."

"who's that?"

"nanya business, SIZSX." Hitomi shot back and stuck her tongue out at Yuri.

"you're older, yet you act more childish than me. tsk." Hitomi shrugged.

"Yah, yah guys. Why dont you make yourselves useful and go fetch Wonyoung?"

Yuri was the first to answer Chaeyeon. "About thaaaat.. erm, I'm going to visit the other dorm. Yena needs me for something. Make Hitomi-unnie do it."

"Er, yea- no. I'm gonna be goin' with Yuri. Bye~"

They went out, leaving a sighing Chaeyeon. "Nako, sweetheart, can you talk to Wonyoung. Please?"

Upon hearing her name and the maknae, she perked up from the couch , sitting up straight. "C-Can't Kura-eonnie d-do it..?"

A loud groan suddenly interrupted Chaeyeon. It came from her shared room with Sakura. She pinched the bridge of her nose.
"She's busy playing Fortnite or something. Please, Nako?"

Well, she has no other choice. Nako stands up and gets ready to go to Wonyoung's room, knocking twice (hell ye stan TWICE for clear eyesight.). The door opened a bit to reveal two bloodshot eyes, catching Nako off-guard. Her eyes soon softened as a frown made its way to her lips. "Wonyoung ah.."

It took Wonyoung a minute to finally open the door for Nako. "So.. we've noticed you havent been eating much for the past few days. Is there anything bothering you?"

Wonyoung had to look down on the floor as she muttered, loud enough for Nako to hear. "It's.. Yujin, eonnie. I think it's obvious Minjoo-unnie fits the girlfriend role better than me when it comes to Yujin. Lately, she's been very close to Minjoo-unnie."

but you're perfectly fine to me.

"I'll admit, I have this huge crush on her for a long time now, ever since we became the best of friends. She's.. been there for me, b-but n.. now, I'm- *sniff* sorry, eonnie.." Wonyoung buried her face in her pillows and groaned in frustration. She isn't used to this consolling crap with her bandmates, so it is pretty new to her. Her feelings were all over the place.

"Take your time, Wonyoung-ah," Nako whispered, lying beside Wonyoung, looking up at the ceiling.

Without even realizing it, she reached her hand out to run her fingers through the quietly sobbing maknae. All that could be heard was the girl's cries, Nako patiently waited until it stopped. She turned to face Wonyoung, to softly hum while observing the now peaceful sleeping beauty.

A bare-faced Wonyoung will forever be Nako's favorite. Without all those fancy schmancy accessories, make up, Wonyoung is an absolute angel given by the gods above. All for just Nako to adore. Never had she been this close to Wonyoung, so this is quite a heavenly sight. It was like a front row seat to a very fantastic play.

where are all those tears coming from, why are they fallin'?
somebody, somebody, somebody
left your heart in the cold?

you just need someone to hold on baby.

Nako, ever so lightly, retracted her hand from Wonyoung's smooth hair to her cheek. soft, just like how she is for the baby. Thank (God)Jihyo, Wonyoung's a deep sleeper, if she wasnt, Nako wouldn't be this close to her. Don't get her wrong, she isnt taking advantage of the situation, but come on, really, who wouldnt take this one chance to admire Jang Wonyoung up close?

give me a chance to pu back all the pieces,
take your broken hear,
make it just like new..

Wonyoung shifted a bit, causing Nako to grow stiff and still.

She tried not to fangirl at how Wonyoung's button nose scrunched up with her eyebrows knitting together and her lips to press tightly into a straight line. She swore everything about this baby is adorable.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Nako began to slowly rub her thumb on Wonyoung's cheeks, scooting a little closer.

there's so many thing that i can do

"I can treat you better, Wonyoungie. You dont know how lucky Yujin is to have you from the start. You said she's been there from the start, while we just met a month ago. but.."

She paused as she wrapped a short arm around Wonyoung's chest, not giving a damn anymore if she woke her up.

She wants Wonyoung to at least feel someone out there loves her.

"..i won't complain because-- because of IZ*ONE, I met you,

got to live with you,

see you everyday.

you're too precious for this world, you giant baby"

Then suddenly a pair of arms engulfed her in a tight hug, Wonyoung giggled right after Nako yelped a curse world and looked down, apologizing for her carelessness.

Nako held her beating heart to ease the overwhelming thumping, but Wonyoung held her hand and wrapped it around her neck, pulling the lost bunny closer to her. "Let it be, eonnie. I love the sound of it. You can continue singing."

That gentle, warm smile Wonyoung gave her only made it harder for Nako to finish the song, but soon she shyly obliged,

why don't you tell me where it hurs now baby~..
and i'll do my best to make it better.
yes i'll do my best to make those tears all go away

Now with a little more courage, Nako sat up as Wonyoung eyed her confusingly, but the next thing that happened made her heart jump to her throat.

The older yet shorter girl hovered on top of the surprised younger, making said girl visibly gulp aloud.

Upon hearing that gulp, Nako slowly let her body settle on Wonyoung. Nako, the cute shortie she is, laid the side of her head on Wonyoung's chest, eager what her hear has to say.

And sure enough, it was rapidly beating. "T-This.. uhhh, this is embarrassing ehehe.." she heard Wonyoung say, her arms tightening around Nako's waist.

just tell me where it hurts now, tell me
and i'll love you with a love so tender~

Before Wonyoung could speak, Nako intertwined her right fingers with Wonyoung's left ones and brought them up to her lips, kissing the back of the blushing latter's hand. 'waaah eonnie if you keep doing that, i might die from all this blushing..~'

oh and if you let me stay,

i'll love all of the hurt awaaay~

A shy smile crept up to Wonyoung's lips while Nako hummed and tightened her grip on their joined hands. "You're gonna make me cry, eonnie~"

is it your heart, oh~ thats breaking all in pieces
making you cry,
making you feel blue~

is there anything that i can do?

Nako lifted her head up to longingly gaze at Wonyoung, to which Wonyoung quietly giggled at. She loved how Nako's lips puckered to a childish pout, plus her nasal-y voice singing this song to her only made her heart feel super fuzzy.

why dont you tell me where it hurts
now tell me~
and i'll love you with a love so tender

oh and if you let me stay,
i'll love all of the hury awaaay~

Silence engulfed them. Their hearts racing. Wonyoung absolutely loved the feeling of the older's heart beating against her own, while Nako felt warm, comfy and contented in the younger's hold.

Wonyoung's stomach then growled out of nowhere. panira ka ghorl?

Nako laughed heartily as the latter blushed even more.

"yah, eonni!"

"mianhe~"

They spend a good minute just enjoying the warmth only the two of them shared, until Wonyoung muttered, "is that a promise?"

"hm?"

"you'll.. love all the pain away..?"

"only if you promise me one thing. "

Wonyoung cocked her head to the side, still lying down on the bed with Nako straddling her lap now.

"Eat three times a day, and do not skip any meals," Nako closed her eyes and booped her nose, earning a whine from the younger. Instead of a proper reply or hum, she found herself trapped by a pair of thin arms, lightly around her small figure.

Shivers went up her spine when Wonyoung's hot breath hit her sensitive skin.

"Forget the food. I'll be more than full with a daily dose of Yabuki Nako~"
