Warmth

The Life of the Sixth Member

You don't know how you got to this point. You remembered your childhood: calm, happy, joyful albeit lonely. You are an only child after all. 

That feeling wouldn't last long though; you didn't know you were going to have five sisters by the time you're in your twenties. 

You looked towards your leader, watching her rubbing her arms together while trying to be discreet.

"Unnie, are you cold?" You scooted closer to her, looking at her with worry in your gaze. 

The weather wasn't too cold but not warm either, and with the kind of outfits she's always put in, your always-cold leader feels even the slightest breeze. You know that's just how she is but being the caring dongsaeng that you are, you can't help but worry. 

She looked towards you and smiled shyly, "A bit." 

You smiled, bringing both your arms up, "Want a hug?"

She didn't hesitate to snuggle into you. 

"Unnie, you are too cute," you smiled teasingly. 

Even though she couldn't see, she knew you too well, "Yah, Eli. Don't tease your elder." 

Yeri, who was standing nearby, came over to join the conversation. 

"Unnie just admitted she's a grandma!" Yeri laughed out loud, prompting you to laugh as well. 

Irene pulled back from your hug a little to glare at the maknae, "Keep your voice down! We're in public." 

Yeri merely smirked but nodded in agreement nonetheless. You rubbed your hands on Irene's back and arms, trying to warm her up before your group had to go inside the building for your performance. 

Irene pulled out of your hug completely with a breathtaking smile, "Thank you, Eli." 

You smiled, showing your dimples, "Of course, Unnie. Do we have to go inside now?" 

Irene looked over the other members and our manager, seeing him nod towards the building. Seeing the gesture, Irene motioned the others to go inside before turning around and looping her right arm with your left, leading you inside. 

Your cute smile was captured by the many cameras present that day. Well, more like everything was. 


After the performance, you and your members were resting in the dressing room before having to go back home. 

"Unnies, why don't we have a VLive?" Yeri suggested with a big smile on her face. 

You all looked towards Irene waiting for her decision. 

"Do you guys want to?" Her question was answered with five heads nodding and big smiles. 

"Of course! We can interact with ReVeluvs who didn't get to come and watch us today," Wendy added, nodding to herself. 

Seeing the agreement, Irene nodded and let Yeri turn on the app on her phone. You all gathered around her with you standing between Wendy and Irene while Seulgi, Joy, and Yeri were sitting down in front of you.  

You, being taller than Wendy, put your left arm on her right shoulder like an armrest while she looked at you in disbelief.

She gasped, eyes wide. "Hey! Just because you're taller than me doesn't mean I can be your armrest!" 

You all laughed while she just looked around, offended that no one was backing her up. 

You pinched her cheek with your free hand. "Unnie, of course it means I can make you my armrest. This is too comfortable to pass out on," you winked. 

Joy just laughed louder. "I taught you well, Eli. Unnie taught you well." 

You could see Irene just shaking her head with a small smile on her face, making you smile wider. 

"Okay, it's starting!" Yeri's voice made all of you turned back towards the device in her hand, watching ReVeluvs trickled in. 

"Hi! How are you guys doing today?" Yeri started the conversation while the rest of you tried to make out what people were saying in the chat. 

Seeing one of the comments, Seulgi answered, "We're doing well, thank you. Wendy was just scolding Eli before this started."

With her signature over-the-top reactions, Wendy nodded and looked at the camera, "Yeah, she was being rude, putting her arm like this and making me her armrest!" She explained while you just laughed again. 

"I'm sorry Unnie, you're comfortable. If you hate it so much I'll just hug you instead." 

With that, you put your left arm around her waist and your right arm around her neck, hugging her tight. 

"Yah, Eli! You're choking her!" This time it was Irene who scolded you. 

You knew the comments were probably going crazy but you stayed a bit longer to whisper something to your favourite unnie.

"I love you."

You pulled back just in time to see her big smile aimed towards you. She pecked your left cheek lightly in thanks before turning around to look at the camera again. 

Watching the interaction, ReVeluvs can only comment and capture the moment while the members smile knowingly.

You always radiate warmth after all.

Hi, everyone! I'm sorry for being so absent these past few months or even a year. I've been dealing with a lot and every time I open a new chapter to write, I always lose the creativity T_T I'm so sorry. Recently, I've just lost an uncle who loved me very much and I've been dealing with the loss. Thank you for always reaching out to me and waiting for a new chapter, I promise I will try to write soon. I also apologise for not replying to your comments, the website is not allowing me to do so I'm not sure why so I just write it here. I really appreciate all of you and I hope we can be here enjoying the stories I write for a long time. Thank you and I hope I'll see you soon ❤️
