6 ~ Early Mornings

The next eighteen hours fly by for me, but it doesn't come as much of a surprise. Yoongi and I chatted a little bit more as we ate the lunch I'd prepared, and other than taking the time to make dinner for the two of us, I'd spent the rest of the day in one of the studios I'd decided to claim for myself in hopes of getting even just the tiniest bit ahead in the album making process before I lose the better part of today. I didn't end up pausing all night long to sleep, but I'm used to functioning off of very little sleep, never getting more than a couple of hours of sleep at a time at most.

I decide to get the day going early though, hoping that the earlier I get the day started that it'll mean the more I'm able to accomplish. It's hardly six in the morning when I head to the kitchen to begin making up some breakfast for myself and Yoongi, going ahead and making some up for the others as well since I'm just making quick breakfast wraps. I don't miss the sound of soft pattering feet when I'm nearly finished with making everything though, eyebrow quirking instinctively as I know hardly anyone is ever up this early if it can be helped.

"What're you doing up so early? You should still be asleep." I question softly, not overly interested in making conversation or breaking the quietness of the early morning. The pattering only pauses momentarily before it's starting again, and I soon hear him approaching the island of the kitchen where a few barstools are placed on the opposite side of myself.

"I don't exactly sleep much these days. Thought I heard you cooking, and thought I'd come check to see if you wanted any help. It didn't sound like you went to bed last night." Yoongi murmurs, not seeming to want to break the quietness either. I hum in thought at his response, making a mental note about his lack of sleep himself.

"You shouldn't be worrying about myself and trying to keep up with myself, Yoongi. It's by far in your better interest not to, and to rather keep track of what you already have going on - which I happen to understand is a lot for you. If you're hungry, you can eat now. I recommend making yourself a warm mug of tea afterwards though and going to lay down again. You'll want to be well rested for when I bring the others back, I have a feeling it'll be a rather long day for all of us." I inform him as I set a plate with a couple of small breakfast wraps in front of him.

I pause my actions to finally actually look at him, watching as he rubs the side of his face, still looking rather tired and nearly half asleep still. I can see it in his eyes that his mind hasn't allowed sleep to overtake him for very long though, and I find myself disliking the way he seems to have a similar sleeping pattern to that of myself if I were to ever try to get a full night of sleep.

"Try to get some rest. I should be back by end of the morning or early afternoon with the others. I have no doubt you'll be needing it." I add gently before turning to package up the rest of the wraps and heading towards the door.

I end up taking the van once I'm outside, knowing I'll need the space for the rest of the boys if I don't want to have to make a million trips today otherwise which I know would be to my benefit. It's a weird feeling being in their vehicle though, taking notice to all of the different little things that they have scattered throughout that suggests each one had a seat they always sat in.

The thought has me sighing, and I decide I'd better start eating before I'm actually arriving to the first stop, knowing that it's going to be a long morning and that I'll need all of the energy that I can get in order to properly handle all of this. I'd already made some calls the night before, so in theory, obtaining each male shouldn't be a difficult task. The difficult part is going to be getting them to actually come with me, especially when they hardly know me and I don't have Yoongi to help.

I'd thought about bringing him along this morning, but opted not to, figuring it was in his better interest that he stay home. This way, he can try to get some rest before all hell breaks loose. This way, he doesn't have to have his heart shattered to pieces with the sight of each one being brought out, doesn't have to be fearful of the way the others will react to him and treat him or speak to him the moment they see him. It may make it more difficult for me, but right now my goal is to watch out for the safety of everyone's mental health, and that includes Yoongi.

He'd been the only one miraculously that didn't just drown himself in his demons, not even so much as taking a crack at one of them, his biggest issue being insomnia that I know is due to the stress of what's been happening with the guys I know are his best friends. It's admirable in a way, having watched his friends lose all hope and to have done so so quickly, and managing to keep himself afloat all this while.

It's actually something that worries me for him, something I worry the others will actually try to hold against him, but I'll be damned if I let that happen. He's done impressively well for as long as he has and I'll be damned if I'm going to let someone shame him for it.
