A night where calmness, peace and silenced away from sounds of car engines is highly preferable for someone who's in need of their rightful rest. Ryujin is on of those someone who badly needed it.

After a full day of trying to get Yeji from going back to the silver city, where in which every attempt they made or even initiated, became such a failure. Ryujin rightfully deserves her rest.

And for the most part she did get the peaceful atmosphere that she's longed for. That was until a continuous loud and irritating sounds of either plates and utensils clanking onto each other or a door producing a creaking sound as it opens, bothered her deep and peaceful slumber.

Hence why Ryujin is wide awake, at 12:54 AM, and is silently and uncomfortably sitting on the edge of her bed. Trying to Sherlock Holmes her way on figuring out who or what's the cause of those sounds.

Having quiet enough of the sounds. Ryujin then stood up, walking silently towards her door and opened her door also in a silent way. She slowly tiptoed her way towards the direction where the sound was resonating and eventually she arrived at the kitchen.

The lights on the kitchen had not been turned on, making it quiet hard to spot anyone in the distance. There is on other hand a light coming from the fridge itself, which for whatever reason is left open.

Ryujin groaned. "My electric bills," she mutters, as she slowly walked towards the fridge.

She eventually closed the fridge after taking water and drinking from it. Of course she was about to take her leave and had actually motioned herself to go back to her room. But she stopped as she saw someone she never expected to see.

Shin Yuna, who had a piece of bread hanging in between her mouth with her weird peanut butter and jelly with scrambled eggs combination. At first she got freak out, and was about to shank Yuna with a fork that she somehow got, but stopped herself as soon as she noticed that it was the younger girl.

"Why'd you close the fridge? I wasn't finished rummaging it for food," the younger girl whined, pouting shortly after.

Ryujin simply rolled her eyes. "What are doing leaving the fridge open, and why are you so loud?" Ryujin whisper-shouted, flexing her arms and pointing it towards the fridge.

"Hey I was hungry."

"Yeah, but why leave the fridge open. My electric bills will go through the roofs!"

"I was about to return and close it, that was until you came in," Yuna retaliated, taking a bite from her weird combo of a bread.

As she took a bite from her delicacy, a smudge of peanut butter was left beside the mouth of the younger girl. Which Ryujin noticed.

Ryujin sighed in annoyance. "Jeez, at least eat properly," she said, as she moved her hands up towards Yuna's face. Wiping of the left over peanut butter on the side of her mouth.

Ryujin's sudden action caught Yuna off guard which caused her whole body to tensed and for her to absolutely disregard the idea of breathing.

"... and please, hurry on up with your midnight snacks. I'm trying to get some rest," Ryujin implored, as she walked away from the kitchen leaving Yuna, still completely frozen from her position.

Yuna shook her head, snapping herself from her trance. "I ... d–ugh, yeah ... yeah, I should d-do that," she said stumbling between her words.

Yeji walked on the streets of New York, with no sure destination. It's just her and her legs, carrying herself to some place that her mind could somehow find decent enough to stay.
