Elena's point of view (house # 1)

I glance at the clock and cringe. It's two in the morning and I haven't been to sleep yet. My eyes stare at the ceiling heavily adjusted to the darkness in our bedroom.

I've tried counting sheep, meditating, and rain sounds.

Nothing is working and of course I'm out of melatonin. I glance over at my husband who looks like he's having the best sleep of his life.

I carefully slide out of bed so I don't wake him. Judging from the snores it would've taken a bit more anyways.
This is technically a midnight snack just way later than midnight.

I grab the chocolate covered almonds from the cabinet and begin to devour them. My fingers hover over the girls' groupchat. I wonder if anyone is up.

Me: 👀👀

Cina💙: home of the whopper what's ya beef?

I laugh, she's a nutcase.

Me: Graveyard shift?

Cina💙: you know it!

Santana🥶: Whaddup whaddup. Why're you up?

Me: UGH that's what I'm saying!! No matter what I do I can't sleep.

Cina💙: rain noises?

Me: Didn't work.

Santana🥶: Meditation?

Me: Nothing.

Cina💙: sex? im always sleepy after sex.

Me: He's sleep.

Santana🥶: Wake his ass up!

Cina💙: 🍆🍆🍆

I chuckle putting my phone down. Maybe if I warm up some milk it'll soothe me enough. When the twins were younger I did that for them a lot.

It's only one way to find out. I grab the milk and a pot, time to get to work. If I'm feeling really fancy I'll add honey!

"Baby?"

I turn around to see a shirtless and half sleep Yuta. His pajama pants are hanging low on his hips, exposing his v-line. Now everything Cina and Santana said comes rushing to me at once. I shake my head getting rid of the thought.

Yuta: You okay?
Me: I can't sleep so I'm making some warm honey milk.

He hugs me from behind gently swaying back and forth.

Yuta: You should've woken me up, I don't mind being up with you.
Me: Yeah but you've been working so hard lately you deserve to rest.

He pushes his hair out his face before shrugging.

Yuta: I don't care about that, my wife is more important than my tiredness.
Me: No one is more important than your health!
Yuta: Shut up, you are.

I turn around in his arms and kiss him.

Me: I love you so much.
Yuta: I love you more loser.

Marrying your best-friend is the best feeling in the world.

San's point of view (house # 2)

I can't sleep so I decided to wake Saelee up so she can sit here and be bored with me. Did she appreciate that? Not one bit. Can she go back to sleep now? Not one bit.

Me: Maybe if you tell me a bedtime story.
Saelee: Once upon of time there was a man who woke up his wife and the next day he was on the news, the end!

Sheesh she's just like her brother when she's sleepy.

Me: I've got a better one!

She glares at me.

Me: There was once a princess who was in love with a beast. The beast didn't understand why the princess loved him but he entertained her for the simple fact of having affection. Over time he loves the princess but didn't know how to tell her after constantly hurting her. One day they went their separate ways living life. They crossed paths again and the beast was sick to see she moved on. So with the help of his friends the beast did his best to turn into a prince she deserved.

She can't help but smile at my cheesy story.

Me: And even as you sit here with messy hair, no bra on, and red tired eyes you're still a princess in my eyes.

She crawls across the couch to curl up into my lap. I toss a nearby throw blanket on us.

Saelee: For what it's worth, I've never seen you as a beast. You were always a prince to me.

I kiss her on the forehead giving her a light squeeze.

Me: Goodnight my love.

Hwasang's point of view (house #3)

The boys are not happy at all I woke them up because I can't sleep but oh well. When I wanted to sleep last weekend I couldn't because they decided to throw a party.

Karma bitches!

We all sit on the living room floor with our blankets wrapped around each other.

Chenle: This is ridiculous.
Wonnie: He's ridiculous.

I take a bite of my rice crispy treat.

Me: So, how was your guys' day?
Keeho: It's a new day that's starting off shitty because my bestfriend burst into my room at two in the morning!

I scoff.

Me: You should be happy I'm so spontaneous.
Wonnie: My ass! Why couldn't you call and wake up your girlfriend?
Me: That would be rude.
Keeho: And waking us up wasn't?
Me: Correct.

Chenle pulls Keeho back down.

Me: Before I woke you guys up I was actually on FaceTime with my mom but then one of her patients went into a cold blue in their room.
Wonnie: Is my mom at work too?

I nod.

Me: I was FaceTiming her too.
Chenle: You're a menace.
Keeho: You could've at least made us food.
Me: We still have ingredients from the other day to make home made pizzas.

We all look at each other.

Chenle: I'll do the dough.
Wonnie: I'll make the sauce.
Me: I'll grab the cheese.
Keeho: I'll just watch.
