Riya's POV

I peak into the Kitchen, the distant yelling from twenty feet away becoming the full picture as the guilty culprits are revealed. Hoseok, Namjoon, and Jimin are sitting—Hoseok's standing—on the table, a box of multicolored cupcakes open and half of them lying languidly in their mouths.

They're laughing about something I can't understand, and I turn to the clock instead. Long forgotten, the red lights blink wearily as a reminder that it's stopped hoping someone will notice.

3:00 AM.

Blink

3:01 AM.

I flicker the lights, knowing any sound I make won't be as loud as theirs.

Their heads snap towards me, their hair flopping with the sudden movement. 

A stray piece of cupcake falls out of Hoseok's mouth and lands miserably on the floor.

Placing my hands on my hips, my eyebrow arches in a practiced way—a way I've seen Jin use to scold them.

"The others are sleeping, you know," I relay.

They all nod in a practiced way, and I shake my head in the same manner. 

I chide, "That means you have to be quiet."

"'Have' is a strong word," Jimin responds laconically. "Besides, most of them are awake anyway."

"What about the ones that aren't?" I quip.

Hoseok shrugs but utters an agreement, wiping the corners of his mouth. Namjoon, however, licks the frosting straight off his hand, not caring for looks or for hygiene.

"We'll be quiet," he says, turning to the others. "We should be getting to bed anyway. Early schedule."

I grin. "Taehyung will appreciate it."

Hoseok's eyes narrow. "How did you know Taehyung was the one sleeping?"

"He always sleeps at this time," I state matter-of-factly.

"Okay, Miss Know-it-all, why don't you just—"

"Riya," Jimin cuts Hoseok off. "You're scolding us about being awake, but why the hell are you here at this time?"

"Oh." I scratch the back of my neck. "Well, that's...top secret information."

"Top secret information?" he echoes. "You show up to our house, and we don't get to know why you're here?"

"Uh...yup!" 

"State your peace here," Hoseok says through a mouthful of frosting. His eyes brighten with a sudden thought. "Did you come to watch the newest episode of 'Grey's Anatomy' with us?"

"Us?" Namjoon sighs. "Drop me from this equation. I don't stay up this late just to catch up on doctors."

"Sexy doctors though," Hoseok adds cheekily.

"It did end on a cliffhanger," I agree, stopping myself when I catch Jimin's ever-growing smirk. To him, "I'm just making an observation."

He shrugs, leaning back and swiping at the icing. I shrug back in what I'm hoping to be the same manner, and I turn, sticking my tongue out when he can't see me.

"We'll watch it tomorrow," I inform them.

"It is tomorrow," Hoseok declares, and I respond with, "Tomorrow's tomorrow."

I mount the stairs as quietly as I can, and I smile proudly for not making a sound.

"Yes!" I squeal sometime later, accidentally falling over onto Jungkook with excitement.
