At breakfast the following morning, Yoongi was on the lookout. Someone had to be responsible for what had happened the night before, and the evident surprise the Dauntless leaders were displaying at seeing him enter the hall completely unharmed was... well. Satisfying. He met their gaze unflinchingly, before turning away to speak to Hoseok.

"The looks on their faces almost makes it worth it."

"You almost died, hyung," Hoseok muttered, as the two of them weaved through the tables towards their usual spot. "Not worth. Not at all."

"Aw, come on, I'm fine now."

"Don't ever do that to me again," he replied, with a small chuckle. "You scared me."

"Sorry. Hey, look."

Yoongi had caught sight of a few members of the army who looked pretty battered and bruised, and he gestured towards them. Hoseok followed his gaze, and smirked.

"You think they're your guys?"

"Has to be," he responded, before his eyes wandered towards the head of the army, who was watching him in thinly veiled confusion. "What's ironic is Subin is completely fine. Guess he sent his subordinates to do the dirty work."

"He'll be thankful he did, by the looks of it," Hoseok chuckled, as he followed his friend's gaze over to the head of the army.

"Right? Tayeon did a number on all of them. Imagine flattening five guys in one go. Five of the strongest from the army, no less. Damn."

Hoseok glanced at him in amusement.

"You're already proud of her," he stated.

"Aren't you? She might have been out of control, but she had to be giving it some sort of direction. That wasn't just an explosion of power, or it would have knocked me out as well."

"I never thought of it that way," Hoseok mused.

The two of them reached their table and sat down, greeting Jimin, Taehyung, Jin, and Jungkook who were already seated there.

"Morning," said Jungkook, smiling sleepily at the two of them, whilst the others echoed him. "We kept you breakfast, since you're kinda late."

"Don't tell me you slept in, Yoongi," said Jin, raising an eyebrow at him. "Dreadful behaviour."

Yoongi was of the opinion that he had every right to sleep in, considering what time he'd gone to bed the night before, but he said nothing, merely grinned at Jin.

"Let him enjoy it, hyung," Tae complained. "We get one morning off training a week. He'll be waking us up at the crack of dawn again tomorrow."

"With a hammer against the water pipes," Jimin added. "I'm gonna have nightmares about that for years, you know."

"It's nothing the rest of us haven't gone through, and you know it," Hoseok told him.

Taehyung departed to get coffee, and Hoseok took advantage of his absence to make the fruit and bacon strips on his plate appear somewhat more appetising, the soft green light emanating from his fingertips infusing with the food and making it look much fresher.
