Althea jolts awake from her stomach's grumbling. 

She looks at the floor where the boys are on the futon. The Australian-Korean smiles while waving and gingerly shuffles over to her. It's well into the morning and she has class in twenty minutes. It's approaching mid-March so her professors will start giving instructions for end-of-term papers. 

"Good morning," he greets. 

"Mornin'." Althea pauses and squints at the leader. Bang Chan stares confused as she leans forward and Althea cups his cheek. His ears tinge red but she couldn't see them pass the bags under his eyes. "Youne sleep."

The leader gains a sheepish expression. "I usually don't," he jokes. 

Althea whacks him with a pillow. "What you do all night?!"

He points to the TV that's still playing. Althea sighs and grabs her phone off the desk. There's a message from her father checking in on her and one from Lorraine. She quickly types a reply to her Dad and motions Bang Chan to join her. The leader leans his head beside her thigh and Althea ignores the way his forearm flexes as he rests his head in his arms. 

"Message from Lorraine."

"Is it good news..?"

"...I ga kill her."

"What happened.."

Althea shoves the phone in his palms and gets up to throw the curtains open. She hears Bang Chan sigh from behind her and sees him dragging a palm across his face in the window's reflection. 

Lorraine just sent a message that she, along with the other members, agreed to extend the leader's stay to Sunday. If Althea tries going there now, she knows Lorraine wouldn't let them inside. And his members seem keen on making sure he gets that break so they'll act as her barricade even if she tries to break the door down. 

"What are you arguing about so early?" A deep voice grumbles. 

Althea sighs and turns back to face a groggy Felix waking up. She walks over and ruffles the Australian's hair and he leans into the touch. In her peripheral vision she can see Bang Chan smiling at them a bit. Changbin's still asleep though.

"Lorraine's kicking Chan out for the week." Felix snorts. 

"Good."

"Felix!" The leader whines. 

Althea quickly lurches and tackles the leader to shut him up. As if that'll stop high volume of the words just spoken. Bang Chan's hands jerk forward to brace her by her waist and she rests comfortably on his chest with her hand over his mouth. The man's eyes are wide with slight panic as Althea wildly stares at the door. 

Felix remains deathly quiet as well and chances a look to the door. No footsteps can be heard but there's distant sound of her mother's voice echoing from the living room. 

A shuffling comes from outside and she quickly pushes the leader to the floor. Her eyes scan the backyard but all she can see are the pool and lawn chairs. She sighs in relief and grimaces as her stomach growls. 

'What time is it anyway?'

She glances at the clock and curses when she realizes she has class in fifteen minutes. And her professor is the type to ask for cameras on. 

Althea sighs while stepping back. "Y'all needa be quiet for the next 90 minutes. I have a class and I gotta turn my camera on for a presentation."

When the others were here, she'd let them use her phone to watch shows while she was in class. So far there haven't been any issues with them being spotted but that doesn't mean she's completely off the hook. Changbin almost got in the camera in his first week here and Jisung's voice was caught when she forgot to turn off her mic.
