everyone was awake by 10am, aside from hongjoong who quite literally fell asleep at 5 in the morning, being busy with his constant music producing and sampling.
ellie was in the kitchen with wooyoung, him wrapping the apron around her waist, pulling her figure towards him by the strings and tying it up for her.
"god!" she exclaimed, "you nearly broke my back you moron! why'd you pull me forward so aggressively?"
"so that you'll fall over, kiss my lips and fall in love with me," wooyoung flirted, making his roommate shove him back with a simple push of his forehead.
"shut up and get the pancake ingredients ready," ellie instructed, "and if you mess with me while we cook i'll shove the dry ingredients down your throat and make you inhale pepper in your sleep."
"the easiest you could do is replace me and not have me suffer," he directed, "but you do you, darlin'"
"i'm considering it." she shoved a piece of chocolate in her mouth and started getting everything prepared.
"i'm going on a run for coffee, anything you want? i have night shift, so i should be fine. the nearest café is a 5 minute walk." yunho peeked from the living room, dressed in light grey sweats and a matching sweatshirt.

"ooh, iced americano for me~" wooyoung smiled, "and you, babe?" he nudged his roommate.
"ah.." she cleared her throat after catching herself staring, "caramel macchiato.. are you sure you wanna do this for us? work isn't going to concern you, is it?"
"don't worry about me," yunho assured, "like i said, it's a night shift and the café is only 5 minutes away, i'll have enough time to continue resting or so."
"if you say so, our orders are noted?" she asked.
"i can manage, i memorize things well." he smiled, slipping into his shoes.
"okay then, thanks yunho!" she thanked, making him signal that it was no big deal as he walked out of her dorm room.
"you seemed so concerned," wooyoung gushed, "do you liiiike~ him~?"
"i could lay my hand on a knife right now and stab your eyeballs out." she reached for a knife in their holder, glaring at him.
"yunho said that to san.." wooyoung muttered, "whatever, sorry. when do you work again?"
"tomorrow, why?"
"cause i get free boba when you come back!" he snickered.
"i'm not bringing you anything tomorrow," she chuckled, "you have money, dipshit! pay a visit and buy some."
"do you know what gets me on my nerves every time i visit you there?" he scoffed, "jiya's damn swooning every time a guy walks into the shop! didn't you hear what she said when i walked in with san last time?!"
"i gave that sicko a whole life lesson," she snorted, "she eventually quit work herself. insane isn't it? at least i don't have someone to bother my ass with oh-so hot guys anymore."
"so you admit that i'm hot?" he winked.
"i'm one finger away from the damn knife." she threatened, picking up her whisk instead. "a whisk can do the job too."
"it'll help with those hickeys you'll be getting some time soon," he grimaced at her, seeing her disgusted impression.
"where do you learn this shit from?"
"online." wooyoung snorted. "before you jump into conclusions-"
"don't tell me you search up how to get rid of hickeys," her eyes went wide as she finally finished the batter and threw butter into the hot pan.
"what if i get laid???"
"if you can't pull me, you can't pull anyone." ellie snorted, "haven't you lost your v-card a while ago, wHILE I WAS TRYING TO SLEEP?!"
"listen! she wanted to!" wooyoung tried excusing, "i told her to be quiet but she wouldn't and left me the next day."
"this is why i hate parties and one-night stands." ellie muttered.
"you're little to no different from hongjoong, jongho, seonghwa and yeosang." he snickered, "never want to go to parties, no time for relationships, only go if they're convinced."
"you're only saying that to set me up with one of them, aren't you?" she sneered, squinting her eyes at wooyoung.
"maybe, maybe not." he smirked.
they heard a sigh behind them, seeing jongho go to wooyoung, squatting down and lifting the older boy over his shoulder. "that's enough of attempting to play matchmaker today."
the girl laughed as she continued making pancakes, wooyoung continuously hitting jonghos shoulder blade and begging him to let him down.
san came in later, hugging ellies back as he rested his chin on her shoulder.
ellie pushed him away with her behind, grabbing a wooden spoon and hitting the top of his head with it.
"don't try that shit with me, choi san." she scorned, threatening him with the spoon again.
his lips formed a pout, "you're so mean to me. i was just hugging you!"
"i don't appreciate you sneaking up behind me to wrap your long ass arms around my waist." she hissed, placing the last pancake on a plate and heard the doorbell.
"someone open it, it's yunho." ellie called, hearing footsteps already going to open the door.
she heard lots of cheering when yunho came in with 2 of those paper holders where you could place a good amount of 6 coffees to take home.
"such babies." she whispered, placing everything on the dining table and then going back into the kitchen where yunho placed the drink she asked for.
"thanks again, this wasn't necessary." she smiled, taking a sip from her coffee.
"it's nothing to be thanking me for," he chuckled, "let's have breakfast, i see the others already running like insane people... aaand jongho manhandling wooyoung."
"mhm," she laughed, "then take a break and rest here if you want to, big bear. we don't want you to walk back to your shared dorm from work looking like a ghost." she tiptoed, patting his cheek and grinning, taking off her apron while walking to the others.
yunho stood shocked by her sudden movement and saw as san teased him, causing him to groan and walk over to the hectic dining table.
