I squeezed my eyes tight, completely in denial of my current situation. It was 7 in the morning, and this was the last place I wanted to be. Why am I here? Oh, that's right. I recalled Fey waking me up this morning. She'd basically dragged me out of bed and let me fall on the floor, shouting at me to get up and dressed. There was a reason, but I couldn't recall it. Something about a birthday emergency? That doesn't make sense. Hina's birthday isn't until September 19 and everything is already planned for that even though it's still like a week away. 

"D-O Y-O-U. DO YOU LOVE ME?" I groaned slightly as Fey turned up the radio and started singing at the top of her lungs when a song she liked started playing. I recognized the tune of Do You Love Me by 2ne1 as the song continued, and sighed in defeat. Anything 2ne1, Fey was all over and she would no doubt sing the whole song-most likely in an obnoxiously loud voice. At least her and Gigi had given me the back seat to myself.

~~~~~~~

"Finally," I mumbled, climbing out of the car. I straightened out my loose white sweater, noticing what I had dressed myself in for the first time this morning. I was still personally amazed that I'd looked decent enough to go out in public after the first attempt considering I'd practically been asleep  when choosing my clothing. I rubbed my temples, the light already giving me a headache. No one should ever be awake this early for such un-godly reasons. Wait... "Why are we here? Actually, first I'd like to know where here is."

"The mall, and we have some serious last minute shopping to do!" Fey huffed, twirling the keys on her finger as she glared at the mall. I felt my stomach sink at the sight. I was in for one long day. "Let's go!"

"So, what's goin on?" I asked rubbing my temples as I fell in step with Gigi, following Fey toward the large building.

"It's Namjoon's birthday." Gigi replied, sporting a big grin. "Fey just found out, so now she wants to buy him something and suprise him."

"HUSTLE LADIES HUSTLE. " Fey shouted, standing at the entrance, tapping her foot impatiently. I noticed her long hair was tied into a loose bun to keep it out of her way-she definitely meant business. "We only have four hours to find the perfect gift, go home and get ready, asnd meet up with J-Hope and Suga for the suprise!"

I felt my stomach knot at the prospect of getting to see Yoongi again so soon. But I was quickly distracted as Gigi pulled me quickly into the already bustling mall so we wouldn't loose Fey in the crowd. I should so not be awake right now. I thought grimly as I walked into the hell that awaited me, and was bombarded with sound and colors.

~~~~~~

After hours, Fey was finally satisfied. We'd found the perfect shirt, the perfect CD, the perfect book, and had ordered the perfect meal and cake (which had required Gigi to call Jhope during practice and caused s to yell at him; or so she complained to us, since that was our fault-specifically mine since I didn't have Yoongi's number). The variety of clothes presented to me had quickly woke me up, against my will, and I was itching to buy something new. However, in my half-asleep state I hadn't remembered to grab any money or a credit card.

"Alright, now all we have to d-YAH! WE HAVE TO GO!!" Fey shouted as she saw the time. She somehow managed to grab our wrists and still keep a hold of the bags as she rushed us toward the exit and back to the car. Fey was usually pretty laid back, so she'd been creeping me out all day if I were being honest. Apparently everyone else was getting the same vibes too because they all cleared a path for us. Once we made it to the car, I looked at my phone to see the time: a quarter after ten. Looks like we won't have time to get ready after all.

~~~~~~

To say the least, I was really sick of people - specifically one person *cough Fey cough*- pulling me around today. This being at least the third time it had happened in less than six hours, I was very close to killing someone. I glared angrily at the back of Fey's head as she pulled Gigi and I quickly through the halls toward the place we'd all agreed to meet up at. J-Hope had called, asking where we were, which is what had caused Fey to start dragging us again.

I rubbed my wrist holding it tight to my chest to avoid it being grabbed again as Fey let go of us to open the door to the meeting room. I peered in, around Fey and saw a suprised Yoongi and J-hope in the midst of putting up some last minute decorations. This was just a small party, all the boy's would celebrate together later. I found myself breathless at seeing Yoongi, he was wearing a pair of ripped blue jeans with tan boots and a simple white T-Shirt, but he still looked stunning.

Gigi quickly made her way over to J-hope, striking up a comfortable coversation with him right away as she helped him finish decorating. Fey immediatley started arranging the table as the food would be arriving any time. Deciding it was probably best to avoide getting in her way, I wandered over to a couch in the corner of the room and plopped down. Yes, plopped. It felt so wonderful to sit.

"Hey," Yoongi greeted, plopping himself down next to me on the couch. I looked up to return the greeting, but the wide grin on his face caught me off guard. "Nice hat."

"Hat?" I reached up, and finally realized I was indeed wearing a hat. I knew as soon as I touched it that it was the one Yoongi had given me last night, and I felt my face instantly starting to get red. Really, Reya? Even in your half-asleep state you managed to grab his hat? Ugh. "I uh..I-I brought it...you know...to uh. Give it back"

The last part was barely a whisper, as I realized I didn't want to give it back. I stole a glance up at Suga, who was smiling at me his chin resting on an arm he had propped on his thigh, causing him to lean towards me. I felt my blush deepen, and quickly dropped my gaze back to my hands.

"Naah." He finally replied, leaning back into the couch. "You keep it for now. It looks better on you anyway. Plus, a pabo like you doesn't seem to undestand that she needs to dress warmer."

"Hey! I do too know that!" My response seemed childish, even to my own ears, and I couldn't help but puff out my cheeks in anger. Yoongi just gave a soft chuckle in response. Before I could continue my protest, a small bundle of energy barreled up to us.

"Yah!" I protested as Gigi plopped down beside me, causing me to slide towards the dip in the couch she made. "What are you doing?"

"Hoseok went to get the food so I decided I could deal with this problem now." Gigi replied, a smirk appearing on her face. When I stared at her blankly, she huffed and turned her attention to Suga. "You."

"Me?" He replied mildly, pointing at himself but staying in the same relaxed position.

"Yes, you. Why haven't you exchanged numbers with Reya yet." Gigi replied, her sentence more of a disapproving statement than a question. Yoongi's face developed a tinge of pink as he stuttered  to respond until Gigi continued, cutting his suffering short. "Well, I don't have time to wait for your response. Phone. Now. Both of you."

Yoongi quickly fished his phone out of his pocket and handed it over to Gigi. She turned, taking my phone from my hands and replacing it with Yoongi's.

"Put your numbers in. This will help prevent future problems of only one of us being able to contact the others group in case of planning emergencies." Gigi practically hissed. So she was still mad that she'd had to interrupt J-Hope at practice today. Nice.

I turned my attention to Yoongi's phone, quickly entering my contact information. After a moments hesitation, I saved it in under 'Soonyi', and passed the phone back to Gigi. She handed our phones back to us and stood triumphantly smiling at us with her hands on her hips. Just then, J-Hope bust in through the door, his arms full of food.

"WE HAVE TO HURRY!" J-Hope  shouted as he rushed to the table, where Fey was stressing at some minor details, and dumped the bags on it. Fey shot him a look that could kill, but he ignored it and quickly started pulling out the food and placing it on the table. Fey soon joined in. I stood and followed Gigi, who had pulled out the small party hats, taking mine, and went to stand in my 'designated area'. Fey was such a control freak sometimes. When everyone was in position, Hoseok hit the lights and we all stood quietly in wait.

I couldn't deny, waiting in the dark even had me on the edge of my seat - theoretically of course, seeing as i was standing. I couldn't help but feel excited and nervous at the approaching suprise. Althought, some of that could be contributed to the fact that Yoongi's 'designated area' happened to be incredibly close to mine, and I could practically feel the heat radiate off him in the somewhat chilly room. Curse the dark for causing the rest of my senses to become sharper.

I was starting to wonder if Jin was actually bringing Namjoon or not when I heard muffled voices approaching the door. I felt everyone in the room tense in anticipation along with me as we waited. The door swung open as Namjoon pushed his way in, allowing us to hear the end of his sentence.

"--will definitely be his last words! And we all know Kookie won't die-he's the golden maknae, basically immortal." his voice swept through the room, and I had to stiffle a laugh as I realized he was debating a topic that had been spreading through the ARMY fanbase recenly. Yoongi shifted slightly next to me, trying to keep from laughing as well. We were saved from holding in laughter as Namjoon switched on the lights , and we took our cue.

"SUPRISE!" we all yelled together, and I puffed on my party horn, Hoseok joining me in making the loud and obnoxious noise. Fey came up with the cake and we began singing happy birthday.

Later, I sat on the couch and watched as Namjoon and Fey interacted. They had a lot of skinship I noticed. One always seemed to be touching the others arm or knee. I chewed the cake absently as I watched them, taken aback at the display.

"What are you staring at?" Gigi questioned sitting next to me on the couch with her cake. I absently noted that Yoongi and Hoseok were piling more food on their already full plates and I wondered if this was the first time they'd ate today.

"They're pretty close, huh?" I said, keeping my voice quiet as I watched Fey grab Namjoon yet again as she laughed at something he said. He smiled at her reaction, bringing out his dimples.

"I know Yoongi's had a lot of your attention lately," Gig started, somewhat nagging. I turned to deny the accusation, but she forged ahead not giving me time to say a word, "but you're not the only one with a crush."

With that Gigi left to go talk to Hoseok. I stared after her, stunned by the irritation I had detected on her voice. Had I really been so oblivious to something so glaringly obvious?
