When she meets her other half and their pranks go a little over...

The small girl sleepily peeked out of her bedroom door to see her members and some guy discussing intently.

She couldn't really hear the rest since she was quite far away, and was a little too sleepy to concentrate. 

It started getting too boring to listen in so she waddled over.

"Morning..." she mumbled, curling up on the couch and closing her eyes, ready to sleep again.

"Hey princess," Taeyong (the mysterious guy now unveiled) scooped her small frame into his arms, and rocking her slightly, asked, "Why are you up so early?" 

"You guys are noisy..." she mumbled, already one foot back in dreamland. "Why are you here?"

He glanced at the other members, and used his eyes to tell them he would bring her back to her room so that they could discuss.

"T's nothing, Yeri. Just go back to sleep, hmm?" He covered up. Lifting her body gingerly, he walked over to her room and tucked her back into bed.

She snuggled in, falling asleep right away.

The next time she woke up, the man was gone.

"Unnie, who was he?" She asked, nudging Seulgi slightly as they gathered at the dining table for lunch.

"Oh, didn't manager unnie tell you?"

"Tell me what?" She was about to break into a Wonder girls song when Irene quickly cut in.

"SM town is holding an adults event for 2 days and 1 night, including the staff, so you, as a minor, will be on your own. We've decided to let -"

"Who? What? Why?"

"Let me finish, Kim Yerim, you should not interrupt your elders." Irene glared at the younger before continuing. "As I was saying, we have decided to leave you with NCT127, from Around Us entertainment? Most of the members were in SM as trainees before, like Mark, Taeyong, Haechan? And please do not cause trouble with Haechan please, the things you guys did while we were still trainees still leave an imprint."

Not surprisingly, they were the Calvin and Hobbs of SM, pulling tricks on the older ones for the fun of it. One of their tricks ended up with the ends of Seulgi's hair dyed orange, nearing her debut period. The dye was too strong to be removed in such a short period of time, hence the rest of the members dyed their hairs in a similar fashion to cover it up (such geniuses).

The last time she met with Haechan was before her debut, so she hadn't been able to see her buddy in such a long time. The thought of a reunion made her pretty excited.

"That's great! Can we go, now?" She bounced up and down on the balls of her feet, trying to keep herself calm but she was going to meet her best friend!

"Yah, you won't even miss us?" Joy faked a tear and playfully held her in a choke hold, while Wendy pinched her cheeks.

"I'm so disappointed." Wendy sighed, stretching and pulling Yeri's cheeks as she shook her head.

"A-ani I'll miss you guys too!" She giggled, hugging the two.

"Behave, hmm?" Seulgi poked her nose lightly.

"Neh." She grinned, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. "No promises." She thought, smiling at her unnie's obliviousness.

At about 8am the next day, a cranky turtle was dropped off at the NCT dorm. In her defence, she was too excited so she couldn't fall asleep.

"I'll leave you in the car if you don't get out." Wendy threatened, and she quickly scrambled out with her bag full of essentials.

"Bye unnies, have fun!" She gave them each a big hug before waving goodbye, as the van drove off.

She entered the apartment building and headed to the Nct dorm, humming in excitement.

---

"Yerim! You've grown so much!" 

As soon as the door opened, she was sandwiched in between the group members, who hasn't seen her in a while since the whole bunch of them left SM (because they didn't let them out of the dungeon).

"Oppa!" She squealed in delight, happy to see them all. 

Taeyong ruffled her hair affectionately. "Breakfast?"

"Yes please!" She clapped her hands excitedly, and was already making her way to Haechan to catch up.

---

"And Winwin hyung spat it all out!" Haechan finished off the retelling of his pranks proudly. 

She burst out laughing, but Taeil's glare effectively shut her up.

"It'd be nice if you two could pipe down so you don't end up with blocked airways. Can't you just eat peacefully?" He chided, clicking his tongue at the two.

"Also, don't think about pranking us today or you'll have a really sore bottom." Johnny said, pointing accusingly at the two maknaes. 

"We don't have to separate you guys for you to behave, right?" Yuta continued and Yeri shook her head fearfully. Not that she disliked them, she just didn't want to spend an entire day with those old people. Her members were enough to deal with.

"Jeez, why are you ganging up on us?" Haechan pointed out, only to receive glares from the three, and Taeyong too.

"We'll be good." Yeri squeaked, eating the rest of her food quickly.

---

"Hae, you've really got no jams." She sighed, flopping onto his bed.

"Haeee, see what I did there?" He countered, a proud smirk plastered on his face.

"I'm just gonna find Taeyong oppa and maybe try to learn how to cook... properly."

That sounded boring indeed, but Taeyong was a really nice oppa who managed to salvage her dish no matter how bad it was, so at the very least her stomach would be really pleased.

"N-no way! I'm not going to let you become like that!" Haechan faked a dramatic gasp as she fell onto the bed, a hand over her head.

"It's been an hour of you telling your lame jokes, I think I'm going to die from hearing those!"

"Good riddance! Now I'll have one body checked off my death note- Yah!" She kicked him not so lightly on his recently spanked bottom, eliciting a help from the boy.

"Whoops?" She scooted away just in case he took revenge. "Sorry, wangja-nim." She bowed at him mockingly.

 "Fear me, Peasant." He spat, before bursting out in laughter.

She started laughing too, and the both of them just laughed the
