CONTINUING

Jaebum loved to stare. He was with Tzuyu most of the time, who was accompanied by Chaeyoung. Jaebum loved to run around and just stop to observe, while the other kids played with their noonas. Tzuyu had to catch up with him a few times. He ruffled himself in the plushies, and a found a cat one. He didn't let go of it for the next two hours. He was on one of the tables, coloring and scribbling with Tzuyu and Chaeyoung, while his cat plushie sat next to him, and he would pet it occasionally. Mischievous little Jackson, however, ended up taking the plushie, and Jaebum burst out crying.

"Jackson, that's my kitty-cat! Give it back!" "No!"

"Give him back his plushie, dear, he's crying," Chaeyoung said, but Jackson said no and brought it across the room. Tzuyu noona rocked him around and kissed his forehead, but he just started crying.

He didn't calm down until Dahyun held him, and they sat on the corner of the toy shelves, watching cat videos on her phone, the boy giggling non-stop, until he fell asleep. When he woke up, he started running around again.

Jackson was the most hyper one. He and Bambam, to be exact. Jackson ran around and put stuff everywhere, giggling and laughing. Jihyo was looking after him, and Jungyeon, and they didn't seem to mind, but they got tired after a while. It was because of Jackson that there were eleven broken crayons on the floor, Jungyeon's left sock had a hole in it, and Jihyo looked like she had just gotten an afro. But he did the most adorable things, and they couldn't get mad. He loved hugs and peek-a-boos.

He would cover Jihyo's eyes and say "Guess who, noona!" with his squeaky voice. Jihyo would pretend to be confused, then say "Oh my, it's Jackson!" then he would tackle her to the ground in a cute little bear hug and giggle his day away.

He did this to Momo, and ended up getting tickled to his wit's end. He also started jumping around the playpen, where the toys were, and when Bambam sees him, he joins in. Mark jumps in with them too, joined by Sana and Momo noonas, and they would all laugh, even if they were just jumping.

Youngjae was the biggest sweetheart. He ran around giving hugs to everyone and smiling. He took stuffed animals from the corner and ran to each of the TWICE noonas, including Nayeon, and gave them the animals, then hugging their necks and planting the most innocent kisses on their cheeks. He especially grew fond of Mina, who helped him draw little hearts and cut them out on the table, and he gave them personally to each of the noonas, too. But for Mina, he had a surprise.

"Mina noona!"

"Yes, Youngjae?"

Mina had drawn all the hearts he distributed, and even wrote his name for him, but for her, he drew a bigger and wobblier one. He didn't cut it out because he wasn't allowed to, but he colored it in and even bragged how he didn't miss the lines, even though he did. Below the heart was a bunch of scribbles, but as he says, "It means, I love Mina noona, from Youngjae" Mina was so happy she could cry, and hugged Youngjae ever so tightly. He was so adorable, and husband material.

Bambam was smooth. He had his way with the girls. He would go pick up the dolls, which no one really touched, and put them behind his back, and ran to a noona, and give it to them, because he thinks that pretty girls deserve pretty things. The noona would gush, and when they kissed his cheek, he would giggle and run away. He thought Chaeyoung was the prettiest, and got the doll with the most beautiful dress. She tried to play hard-to-get when she got the doll.

"Are you giving this to me because you think I'm pretty?"

"Yes."

"I bet you give dolls to other girls, too."

"I do."

"So nothing special for me?"

"I gave you that doll because I think it's the prettiest, and-and-and I think you're the prettiest noona among all the pretty noonas." Then Chaeyoung would blush, and Tzuyu would laugh. Bambam had a way with the ladies, and Chaeyoung was definitely up for it.

Yugyeom was the smallest bean in the bundle, and he only stayed within the side with the plush toys. Dahyun and Momo were looking after him, later to be joined by Tzuyu. He could sit up and crawl, but he couldn't walk. He'd give all of his noona's sparkling eyes, and wouldn't let go of Jungyeon's embrace when she hugged him. Jungyeon would let him walk, and he'd get a little too excited and topple over, but he just gets up again. He has the most baby-ish giggle, and loved it when Jungyeon made farts in his stomach.

When Tzuyu sat next to them, he immediately crawled over to her. Tzuyu then resorted to a game of peek-a-boo, and Yugyeom would frown whenever she covered his face, but laughed and smiled so brightly whenever she revealed it. When he was held to stand, he would dance around, and it would literally be the cutest thing.

Lastly, there was Jinyoung. Jinyoung was probably the most silent one. He would just walk around and not mind anyone, sucking his thumb while grabbing his Barney plushie. He stayed by the table, even though so many has been there, and scanned the text books. He couldn't read, so he grabbed all of the books he could carry, and scanned the room for a noona to read to him.

Then he saw her. Nayeon noona.

Nayeon wasn't appreciating this whole concept, so she stayed in the corner of the playpen, just sitting and watching and smiling whenever a kid approached her. She let them kiss her, but that was as far as she went. When Jinyoung approached her, sucking his thumb with about seven storybooks in his other hand, she just looked at him.

"Hi, what do you want?" Jinyoung sat down beside her and placed the books neatly in front of him, and gave Nayeon the book on top gingerly. She couldn't help but smile. "You want me to read?" Jinyoung nodded, his thumb still in his mouth. Nayeon didn't hold back, and read. "What's this? Oh, the frog prince!"

Soon, Nayeon was reading Jinyoung the fourth book, and he was in her lap. He would point at pictures and nuzzle his head at her neck.

"Then, Snow White ate the apple, and she fell down on the ground because of the poison!"

"Oh no!" Jinyoung covered his eyes, and Nayeon laughed. "Noona, this is scary."

"It's not scary, Jinyoung, just you wait," she replied, and went on. He exceptionally liked Little Red Riding Hood, and thought that it was the best story he had ever heard from a great story teller.

The hour and a half flew right by. Then, it was judgment time.

The TWICE members were made to line up, and the kids would be tested individually so they wouldn't copy each other. First up was Mark. The manager had instructed him to go to the noona you love the most and kiss her cheek. He wobbly ran to Sana, and kissed her cheek. Sana cheered as she lifted him up.

Jaebum went next. When he was asked, he said "Cat noona", and ran immediately to Dahyun, who was feeling his love.

Jackson ran to Momo, who he referred to as "Tickle noona." He hugged her and nuzzled himself in her neck and kissed her cheek. Momo tickled him afterwards, and he would give her roars of laughter.

Jinyoung went next, and went directly to Nayeon, because she is the best storyteller. Nayeon had the biggest smile on her face. She never thought that she would love a kid, but she had fun with Jinyoung today, and that would be in her heart forever.

Youngjae ran to his Mina noona, and showered her with kisses as she lifted him up. Mina proudly showed everyone his drawing, and explained what the scribbles at the bottom meant. Youngjae proudly declared that he colored it in himself and didn't color outside the lines.

Bambam picked Chaeyoung, who was the prettiest noona. His manager had given him a little plastic rose to give, and Chaeyoung immediately took it and didn't let go of it as she kissed him on the cheeks multiple times

Yugyeom was last. Since he couldn't walk, he was carried in front of all the noonas, and he only budged when it came to Tzuyu who was last in line. Tzuyu showered him with kisses, and Yugyeom nuzzled himself in her neck.

When the boys were to be taken home, Jackson started crying and didn't want to let go of Momo, and even said she was his bestfriend. This caused Youngjae to start crying, too, and Mark started to wail, embracing Sana's neck even tighter. Jaebum fell asleep again in Dahyun's arms, and Bambam started crying when he saw the rest crying.

Jinyoung went up to Nayeon before they left. "Who's going to read to me now, noona?"

Nayeon's heart ached. "Noona has to go now, Jinyoung-ie." She crouched down to his level. "Promise me you'll be a big boy and read on your own from now on?"

Jinyoung started to leak tears, and Nayeon rubbed his back to make him feel a bit better, but he eventually nodded, and he hugged Nayeon.

Yugyeom was the only one who didn't fuss, because he had no idea what was happening, but he started looking for Tzuyu and Jihyo the moment he was taken from them.

Momo teared up a bit, and kept telling Jackson that they will see each other again. She even pinky promised and kissed his hand, which meant that it would seal the deal. Jackson smiled his signature bright smile again, before giving Momo one last kiss on her cheek.

Everyone couldn't stop waving goodbye, and the boys loved their noonas so much. TWICE didn't stop waving as well until all of them were out of the door.
