chuseok always makes nabi a little sentimental, in a good way. the decorations, the food, the cozy buzz in the air — it all feels like home even before she actually gets there. the company dinner is the unofficial start of the holiday for her, and she’s practically glowing the whole evening, greeting every staff member and sunbae she passes.
she makes her rounds with a plate of chuseok foods, chatting animatedly with everyone at the table. she tells one of the other artists, “this feels like the calm before the storm, you should see my house during chuseok,” laughing when they ask what she means. “i have cousins who treat yutnori like an olympic sport. someone always cries.”
still, she’s grateful for this little family too, the one she’s found in nova and the people who’ve taken care of her since her trainee days. she makes sure to stop by the staff table to thank everyone, especially her longtime manager who’s been with her since her solo days. “you have to rest this year too, okay?” she says earnestly, even though she has a feeling she’ll still be checking emails during the holiday.
but when she’s finally packing her things a few days later, nabi’s excitement is impossible to hide. she’s already texting her mom about what kind of food she wants, and how she wants to help out this year and telling her sister, who still teases her for following in her footsteps, that she’s bringing home special gifts for everyone.
her suitcase barely fits all the snacks and little presents she’s prepared, but she zips it up anyway with a satisfied grin. “it’s fine,” she tells herself. “the important thing is love.”
and when the car finally pulls up to her family’s house, she’s already unbuckling her seatbelt, waving out the window before the engine even stops. because for nabi, chuseok isn’t just about rest, it’s about returning to the people who made her who she is, arms open and hearts full.
