Birds are chirping and the desire to pull the blanket all over the body continues to soar. It's San Jacinto Day in Texas, so three of them are still on the bed at 7 AM. Oh, a correction: It's Hoseok that thinks three of them are still on the bed. But when he turns around and tries to hug Yoongi who's supposed to be sleeping in the middle of the three, all Hoseok hugs is thin air.

His eyes flicker faintly. "Uh? Hyung? Where are you going?" asks Hoseok once he catches a glimpse of Yoongi standing in front of the mirror, already dressed in shirt and jeans. Probably he even sprayed his Paco Rabanne perfume because the smell now roams the room.

"The office." Yoongi combs his hair.

"Huh? You're still going to work on a state holiday?" Hoseok shoots up, but still feeling too weak to stand up from the bed. His sudden movement wakes Namjoon up. "Errgh. What time is it?"

"Yes, but only until around 3 PM," Yoongi answers.

"Why? Why do you have to go on a holiday? Is there something so urgent that you must finish today? Can't you just be home today? Hm?" Hoseok clings his arm around Yoongi's. Hoseok's puppy eyes make Yoongi cannot hold himself not to kiss his forehead.

"There's an extravehicular hardware testing today. It's been scheduled a month ago. I won't be long."

Hoseok frowns, knowing that his plan with Namjoon to bake cookies together with Yoongi today is gonna fail before it even has a chance to start. But he can't tell Yoongi.

"Then, are you going now?" Hoseok tails Yoongi to the door.

"Yes."

"No breakfast?"

"Uhm...I'll just grab some bananas, I think."

"Hyung! You must eat first! You tend to skip meals once you're immersed in your work." Yoongi's way to the door is immediately blocked by Hoseok.

"Huh? Hyung! Where are you going?" asks Namjoon whose soul is finally fully functioned now. He joins Hoseok.

"He's going to the office!" says Hoseok, stealing Yoongi's chance to answer.

"Huh? Office day on a holiday? Why?" he whines. He can't let this happen. Yesterday, after they were back from the park, while Yoongi was busy reading online comics on the bed, Hoseok sneakily slided to Whole Foods nearby to buy some cookies ingredients. For the third day of the appreciation week, it will be their baking day together since they'd be at home—he thought, but now the main target is off to work?

Namjoon is sad.

"There's a scheduled hardware testing today."

Namjoon pouts. "Then we're not going to spend the holiday together? I thought you were free today..."

Suddenly, Yoongi feels so sorry for them. It's his fault that he forgot to tell them that today he must go to work. Honestly, he even kind of forgets that today is a holiday, although yesterday he said to himself that he should relax a bit. But sometimes, his work tells the opposite. Namjoon and Hoseok also know that. They can't force Yoongi not to go. It's Yoongi's dream job and he's also the one who predominantly supports the household's finances.
