Chapter Text
Yuiri was worried, naachan hadn't called her as she usually does when she works late or when she's away for work. She was still clutching onto her phone on one hand as she lied in bed since about an hour ago when she sent her messages through line. Truthfully she had thought of calling her and almost did before coming to her senses and cancelling it. It was almost 1 a.m. and she couldn't sleep. She missed her, a lot. It was always hard for her when she wasn't around especially now that she's solely incharge of their businesses.
Naachan got signed by record label about a month after their graduation and has been since working on her debut single. She still had to make media appearances as one their company's up and coming artists while working in the studio. Her new manager had recommended for her to stay at a hotel near the studio for days at a time to "avoid distractions". Naachan couldn't bring herself to tell yuiri this but instead told her the recording would go on late into the night and that it would be great that she won't be bothered by work during the long weekends. Plus it was only until they were done recording.
Yuiri was left to work at home, occasionally visiting the places of business of their ventures. They each had a business, a total of four if you count the ones they own jointly. Yuiri was of course reluctant at first when naachan had proposed the idea but since she retired from entertainment completely she had felt lost for a while. She needed something to push through her days and finding a job proved to be hassle. It still took a lot of convincing from naachan for her to agree to the arrangement. She knew nothing of the corporate world and neither did naachan but her insistence on the fact that being a successful idol meant she knew a thing or two about how markets work; that her leadership skills from when she was team captain were proof that she could take on the job, or atleast try had swayed yuiri. "Just work from here.. and in a month if you feel it's not for you, you can stop" was what naachan had told her. It's already been past a month since she started and although she often feels unqualified and intimidated by people she has to meet for work she has quite enjoyed it so far.
Her phone buzzed and she quickly checked to see if it was... naachan.
"I'm on my way"
Yuiri blinked at the message naachan sent.. she didn't understand what she meant exactly but when she started typing her screen flashed to naachan calling her.
"Hello?" Yuiri sat up, a bit confused
"Didn't know if you'd still be awake but I when I saw my message was read I called.. "
"Are you walking?" Yuiri asked because naachan's voice felt a bit off
"Yeah and I'm actually not far from home do you need anything from the store?"
"Wait.. you're coming over? right now??"
"Yes that's what I said.. do you need any-"
"No sorry..I went to the store earlier today so we're good"
"Alright then I'll see you when I get home"
"Okay bye"

Naachan was struggling as she went through her pockets and bag looking for her key when she heard the lock open from inside and in a second the door was open as yuiri stood Infront of her. Yuiri had been waiting for her, she was in pajamas, one of the many matching ones they had, with her hair tied up. She stepped back for naachan to come inside. Naachan did, closing the door behind her and dropping her bag on the floor.
Yuiri realised she hadn't said anything yet, technically hey both haven't. Naachan must be tired she thought as she watched her remove her shoes. Yuiri was still coming to terms with the fact that naachan just showed up, she's aware that naachan doesn't get to leave when it's studio week yet there she was right Infront of her. More than that was her feeling like throwing herself in her arms and spend the rest of the night while naachan holds onto her. But for her to do that she needed to know if naachan was okay first because to show up at this hour.. should she be worried?
Naachan sluggishly kicked her shoes off and turned to yuiri who just stood infront of her almost expressionless..
"Did I wake you?" Naachan asked concerned, in her head this was the only explanation why yuiri looked like she was in a trance. She opened her arms to hug her but yuiri just grabbed her jacket instead and pulled her into a kiss. It took her a second but naachan kissed her back, her hands sliding down yuiri's back and finally resting on her waist pushing their bodies together.
They pulled back for air at the same time, their noses still touching, both breathless
"I missed you too" naachan's gaze was intense.
"I know" Yuiri knew if their lips touched again they'll have to go all the way, and in a moment she wrestled with herself on if she should let that happen right away. In a mind over body move yuiri decided to hug naachan instead, and it took her almost all she had but she felt they had to talk first.

Naachan went on about how hard it's been at work.. she's being working with a few composers since she started songwriting but so far she felt she had nothing to be proud of. This coupled by the pressures of the fact that her debut single as an artist could be a defining moment in her career and that it would give the direction of the kind of artist she is and wants to be; her signature style and image, all of it was stressing her out. Ultimately she felt like missed her precious yuuchan so she had to come over
"But how did you convince your manager to let you come home?" yuiri asked curious as she stroked naachan's hair who was resting her head on yuiri's lap facing up
"I didn't"
"Huh?"
"I sneaked out" naachan winked
"You WHAT??"
"Can we not talk about this right now? Please...?" Naachan whined "I'm already here.. plus I have an afternoon session tomorrow so I'll be back before anyone notices"
Yuiri would have of course disapproved of such a reckless decision, no wonder naachan didn't inform her of it before.. heck, it was even out of naachan's character to do something like that but right now looking at her pleading eyes there's nothing much she could say or do about it. If anything she was happy the one person she wanted to be with the most at the moment is right Infront of her. So she just smiled and nodded.
"So tell me about you.. how's work?"
"I've hired a personal assistant.. we are going to check out office spaces tomorrow-"
"You have a PA? Since when?"
"Just this week.. this is her first task on the job actually.." yuiri said as naachan nodded for her continue, intrigued "..I told her to find me office spaces so I'm basically booked the whole of tomorrow"
"I think it's nice you're moving into an actual office.. it'll speed things up" Naachan was referring to the fact that yuiri had since enjoyed her job that she had thought of seeking other busy business owners as her clients, naachan of course supported this and suggested she start a small company. "Have you started on the paper work?"
"Yeah.. its actually hectic.. thank God I have someone to help me out now, she actually knows some of this stuff better than I do so-"
" She.. how is she?" Naachan sounded really curious
"Oh shes really dependable.. I wonder why she applied for a PA position, I'm pretty sure she's overqualified for one-"
"I'm coming with you tomorrow" naachan said in a matter of factly tone
"I want to see the places too.. " yuiri raised her eyebrow as naachan tried to explain herself "..and also meet her" naachan admitted.
"Why.. are you jealous?" Yuiri joked
"I can't be jealous of her.. she doesn't get to do this" naachan said as she slid her hand up yuiri's shirt. Yuiri caught her by her wrist and to naachan's surprise who thought she was about to yank it to the side, yuiri led Naachan's hand further up and pressed it on her chest. Naachan didn't hesitate to cup a feel as yuiri held her breath.. naachan's touch however familiar never failed to make her weak.
Of course naachan didn't have to be told what the move meant, but she still looked up at yuiri to confirm this was what she thought it was. Yuiri responded by leaning down to kiss her to which naachan welcomed, open mouthed; her other hand finding its way up yuiri's shoulder to her neck as she struggled to adjust herself to a much better position.
