“not as sweet as you,” she’s quick to chirp back, smile sleepy as she watches the younger. she’s already happier, a teeny, tiny bit more awake with the girl’s presence. “and hm….i don’t know.” she muses, humming a long exaggerated thoughtful noise. she smiles, and shakes her head a bit, even if it looks a little lazy and dazed. “i wanted to make sure you got home safe.” she mumbles, shifting. “it’s okay! i’ll have time to nap later. i’m just happy you’re home.”
vanessa listens to sejeong quietly, playing with her hair more as she does. she’s careful to not tug it, focusing on the action to keep her mind awake and responsive. humming, she smiles at the girl when she looks at her. “as long as you love it.” she murmurs quietly. she doesn’t like how much it takes sejeong away, but who is she to deny her of what she wants to do? “you couldn’t let me down if you tried. as long as you’re happy, and we’re still together. that’s all i care about.”
“november? aah…” she lets out a whine, a bit more high pitched and a little loud, but it’s followed by a soft grumble and her pout. “waaay too long.” she sighs, nuzzling her head into sejeong’s shoulder. she hums at the kiss, smiling softly to herself. “what can i say? i was born with it~” she sings back, giggling. “you’re the same though. sweet and pretty and just– sejeong.” she sighs, happily, nuzzling into the other more, as the pricklings of sleep begin to tug at her. “wouldn’t have you any other way than yourself.”
She chuckles, a smile coming across her lips, studying the older as much as she could in the darkness of the kitchen. “I have no control over my sweetness to you~” she muses, happy to feel a little more like herself, having this banter with Vanessa. “I’ve been told my kisses are sweet too, so if you ever want to find out, unnie~” she teases a bit before sighing contently. “I’m glad you did. It’s so weird coming home and everyone’s already in bed. I’m used to there being some sort of activity around here.”
Her eyes close momentarily while she’s talking, the fingers playing with her hair are so soothing, she feels she could just drift off. It was nice, so often she was the one trying to give others affection, it was nice to have it given to her first. “I really do love it. I wish there was a better balance, but it’s what I have to do, I guess.” Her heart feels full, Vanessa’s always so kind and understanding to her, even in situations like this one, where Sejeong wouldn’t have blamed her for being annoyed at how often she was gone. “I hope I can keep it that way. You mean a lot to me, you know?”
She nods gently, November seemed like forever away, though she felt that likely with prepping for the comeback, then the actual comeback itself, and her acting duties, the time would fly right by. She nuzzles Vanessa back, resting her forehead against the other’s staying close. “It is too long, but you know I’ll be coming right here and you’ll be able to keep me for a while again~” she chuckles, hearing the tiredness in Vanessa’s voice. “Well, how about having me in bed, you’re so tired,” she jokes, but then laughs “I know you won’t believe me, but I actually didn’t mean that how it sounded. You know, unless...” she wiggled her eyebrows playfully at her, pulling back very gently, but taking Vanessa’s hands as she goes to stand up. “C’mon, I’ll get changed and we can snuggle while we go to sleep, how does that sound?”
