˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳ M.I.A

Soobin is staring at his room's ceiling as he listens to Beomgyu's soft snores and the soft ticking of the clock.

He had almost carried Beomgyu to his room because the boy was just too tired and he have would fallen asleep already if it weren't for Soobin nagging him to wash up first before he lies down on the bed.

Soobin was also tired but his insomnia has been keeping him up the past few days --- then a certain girl just had to add to his list of 'things that keep me up all night'.

This was not good at all.

It's terrifying.

Soobin felt uneasy for the first time in his life because of a girl.

He couldn't explain why.

He doesn't know why he can feel his face heating up at the thought of her.

"Soobin relax. You probably just got caught up in the moment." He whispered to himself, trying to get himself to calm down, "Whatever you're feeling now will probably go away tomorrow. You just need to sleep."

Soobin took a deep breath first before closing his eyes.

Somehow, he fell asleep shortly after midnight and stirred awake at around three, fully aware that it will be the only sleep that he's going to get.

The next day, he had awaken Beomgyu because he promised Yeonjun that he will drag him along to the diner since they're expecting a lot of customers.

True to their expectation, the diner was buzzing with people.

Taehyung and Jungkook were both going in and out of the kitchen, carrying a tray full of dishes every single time.

Yeonjun called them over once he spotted them standing frozen at the entrance.

"Any of you knows how to speak in English?"

"We both do." Beomgyu answered for them.

Yeonjun's eyes lit up at that, "Great! Can you help Tae hyung? He's been in full panic mode as soon as a foreigner entered the diner."

"No problem!" Beomgyu replied.

"You just need to take their orders then bring it to the kitchen then serve it to them." Yeonjun informed, handing Beomgyu an apron and a notepad. "Got it?"

Beomgyu winked before playfully saluting Yeonjun, "Got it."

"Hey Soo, mind helping me make the smoothies? The orders are overflowing." Yeonjun exasperated.

"Of course hyung."

By the end of his shift, Soobin was almost dying from exhaustion. His feet were killing him, he couldn't keep count of the amount of smoothies Yeonjun and him had to make.

"I am dying!" Beomgyu let out a tired groan, almost collapsing on the counter after they closed the shop.

Soobin wasn't really supposed to work until closing time but he insisted after seeing how there were still so many customers.

The other guys just nodded in agreement --- too tired to even reply.

"We did a great job today though!" Yeonjun exclaimed to cheer up their exhausted selves, "Wait, is he sleeping?
