March was fast approaching. Chanyeol—whose hair was dyed black again—tapped his foot to the beat of the music, Sarang running her fingers through the keyboard keys to match the unfinished song that was playing. They had recorded Chanyeol's new vocal layers yesterday and both were much more satisfied with the direction their demo was taking on now. The two of them were in a deep focus when the interruption came.

"Baekhyun coming in!" A voice—Baekhyun's—announced loudly from outside before the studio door swung open. Chanyeol reflexively hit pause on the song while Sarang turned in her seat to glare at the intruder. "What's up?" Baekhyun asked casually, striding into the studio and plopping down on the couch like he owned the place.

"Do you always have to be so loud?" Sarang asked in annoyance, looking at him pointedly.

He shrugged, "Don't wanna give anyone another concussion now, do I?"

"What do you want, lunch?" Chanyeol piped up, sounding unsurprised by Baekhyun's sudden and loud intrusion. Sarang let out a sigh, it was probably a normal thing then. Baekhyun only gave a toothy grin to the question, which Chanyeol seemed to take as confirmation. "We're not even working on the same thing, go have your own lunch!" Chanyeol exclaimed, pointing at the door with an incredulous laugh.

"What are you doing here anyway? I don't see the other EXO members running around bothering people." Sarang interjected.

"Wow, so much negativity here." Baekhyun responded in an easy tone, still lounging on the couch lazily. Then he nodded at Sarang, "I'm working on my second mini album." He answered. Sarang perked up at his words and Baekhyun smirked, turning his eyes to Chanyeol. "She's a fan of me, did you know?"

"She's a fan of EXO, the other day she said she liked Kai and Suho hyung's outfits in Obsession." Chanyeol mentioned, enthusiastically trying to gossip. Since he was too far out to hit with her hand, Sarang turned on her chair and kicked him in the knee. Chanyeol winced and bent his knees up, hugging his left leg in pain.

Baekhyun turned his attention to her, raising his brows in amusement. "I didn't take you as a pervert."

Sarang let out an exasperated breath, "Shut up. This guy tried to strip in front of me, okay? So who's really the pervert around here?"

Chanyeol laughed, "Hey I may not be wearing crop tops but I have abs too, you were hurting my ego back there." He said harmlessly, rolling his wheely chair over to Sarang and trying to put his arm around her. She nudged his chair away with her foot before he could reach her. "Besides, you better hope Baekhyun doesn't take his pants off right now. He does it when he's tired of working."

Sarang turned her surprised eyes onto Baekhyun and the idol just grinned sheepishly, he didn't even try to deny it. "You boy group idols are unbelievable." She muttered. Though she wasn't sure how reliable it was to base the entirety of the boy group world on these two, they were on a whole different category.

That wasn't the last time Baekhyun came into the studio and interrupted them. He barged in again the next day because he was bored, then he peaked his head into the door the next day because he wanted to order food together. He came again the next day.

And the next.

And the day after that.

He came over so often that it was starting to feel like Sarang was collaborating with both of them instead of just Chanyeol. There had been a few instances where a man that Sarang later found out to be Baekhyun's manager, Kwang Ji, had to check up on him and remind him to continue working in his own studio.

Although Sarang and Baekhyun often bickered over how loud he was, she enjoyed having him around. He was funny, charming, and just a little bit annoying. His presence eventually became part of the routine. Each day she came into the studio to work with Chanyeol, she'd be anticipating Baekhyun's visit.
