Krystal felt something heavy constricting her chest cavity. Her heart pounded as her chest felt like a breathing body was pushing against it. She tried to move, to shift her sore limbs, only to find it impossible under an added weight on top of her. In her sleep, she thought Baby Yeon had gotten heavier but the feeling of long locks of hair ticking her collarbones made her slowly wake from her slumber. Opening her eyes, she found Baby Yeon sleeping prone on her chest with her arms spread wide.

Krystal groaned as she tried to relieve her body of her sleeping sister’s weight. Baby Yeon seemed to have gotten heavier under her care. Well, Krystal had been more than dutiful into caring for her sister. A smile escaped her lips as she watched her little big sis snuggle closer to her side. Baby Yeon just looked so peaceful in her sleep, unnerved by the worries of her state. Krystal wondered if her big sis used to watch her sleep when she was Baby Yeon’s age. She could faintly remember Jessica slipping into her room to cuddle her when she was a toddler. They would even go as far as to wearing the same clothes when they were younger.

The little menace clung to Krystal like a koala and the technically younger Jung could not have the heart to just give her sis away. Besides, there’s the revenge to consider. Krystal could not afford to have Baby Yeon as their hostage should those unnies choose to retaliate.

A whooshing sound resounded throughout the room and Krystal groaned when she realized what it was. “Eew, must you fart in your sleep, Jess?” Krystal groaned as she pinched her nose, but then she chuckled when she remembered giving her older sis the same dilemma when she was younger. “You’re getting back at me for the many times I farted while you’re nearby, huh?”

The SNSD dorm was awfully quiet. Everyone including Baby Goo was gathered at the foyer. Eyes travelled around the room, observing and absorbing the shock that plagued everyone that morning. It was a relief that they did not have any schedule for the whole day, but the
