While watching the examination of a recirculating GN2 system, Yoongi's mind sometimes gets distracted. The boring wide-angle view into the vacuum chamber makes him somewhat sleepy, and that's maybe also because the carpool karaoke only ended at 11 PM yesterday. He feels a lack of sleep, yet he is very happy. He loves it when he doesn't have to think about anything else and just live, enjoying the moment. So he wonders what kind of surprise he will receive today.

This morning, Yoongi even googled 'the meaning of giving gifts every day'. But nothing satisfied him. He still doesn't get it why since this Monday, Namjoon and Hoseok have been acting this way. But at least, he starts to figure out how it works: as late as he comes home from work, Namjoon and Hoseok will give him something to eat or 'time' to make him enjoy doing something that he likes.

'It started since the day I released the album...' Yoongi thinks. How long this 'surprise event' will last?

"Mr. Min," a voice calls. "Can you help me with the hydraulic system in MVF? I need someone to accompany me."

That tap on the shoulder breaks Yoongi's reverie. "Oh. Yeah, sure."

Yoongi's guess might be right, might be wrong. Because Namjoon just calls Hoseok telling him that he wants to give Yoongi a 7-days journal of what he's feeling against him. He says that maybe it's time for them to present individual gifts for Yoongi since the gifts from yesterday always came in one from two people. Namjoon is very good at words, so that's quite easy. The pen is writing the words itself in just 20 minutes. But for Hoseok, who isn't as good as Namjoon, thinks he must find something else to do.

But he can't really focus on thinking creatively since every Friday is an art class, and today is Friday. He barely has time for a me-time in his room. During the break, he has to move around, guarding every student from table to table, seeing if they have any problem with their paintings. Yes, this week's art class is about painting on a canvas. And the theme is nature.

"Whoa, Nathan. That looks so good! Is that a Baobab tree?" Hoseok halts as a painting catches his attention.

The boy turns his head around. "Ah, yes! It's Baobab tree from Africa!"

"That's very nice! Why are you deciding to paint this?" Hoseok bends down.

"Hmm... I don't know... Maybe because last night I just watched Madagascar?"

"Madagascar? The animal movie?" The boy nods. "I like to move it move it?"

"I like to move it move it!!" cheers the boy. The next thing that happens is that both the boy and Hoseok wiggle in sync, sing along to the remaining lyrics and no one knows which one is the student and which one is the teacher.

"Mr. Jung," a calm voice breaks in, making them stop. "Can you please help me? I think I'm stuck..."

Hoseok finds the source of the voice and it comes from the quiet girl who sits at the back of the class. He pats the boy's head and reaches for the girl. "You did well. Continue."
