I like it

Third POV

Around 8 AM the next day, Changbin & Han just arrived at JYP, heading to the studio. "Do you think he's still in here ?". "He didn't come home, so yes, obviously. The question is : in which state?". "I'm sad for Sooki, I bet she tried her best to get him out..." Han said, worried for his best friend.

He knew you more than anyone except from Seungmin. He loved to say that you were his twin from another universe. So he knew that you had probably done everything you could to convince Chan to go home. Because it probably broke your heart knowing that he was all alone working all night. Yesterday, when Minho told him that you had gone to the studio, he immediately figured out that you didn't only plan to bring him food. He texted you, telling you it was pointless, but deep down, he also knew you wouldn't listen. Come to think about it, you and Chan were quite a match: two pig-headed persons. You didn't text him the whole night, that's why he was worried.

Changbin got Han out of his thoughts: "What if she's still with him ?". "Hm ?". "I mean, she told Minho she was seeing him, but what will they do together ?". Han hit Bin's shoulder. "Yah ! Don't get that kind of thought!". Changbin laughed and shrugged. "Just saying. But she didn't answer you when you asked why she was going to JYP.". Han mumbled: "She probably went home and is sleeping now, that's why she doesn't answer. And you know Chan more than anyone, he would never stop working just because someone asked him to do so.".

They reached the studio and stood there without any of us making a move to go in. "Why are you not going inside ?". "You go first." Han said, pointing his chin to the door. "Why me ?" Bin yelled. Han shushed him: "Don't be so loud ! It's your fault after all, you and your weird thoughts...". He pushed his teammate in front of the door, urging him to open it. Changin sighed. "Okay okay, here goes nothing."

Changbin softly pushed the door and cast a glance at the room. He went inside, notifying Jisung to be quiet. There was no sign of Sooki. The room was quiet, the only noise was the soft breathing of someone deeply asleep. Chan was still asleep on his desk, slightly snoring from time to time. Changbin immediately took his phone to picture the moment. After all, it's not every day you can see your leader sleeping. But Jisung's mind was elsewhere.

Chan was wrapped in a blanket, and his head was resting on a pillow that normally belonged to the couch. "Looks like it's a half-win for Soo. She didn't make him go home, but she made him sleep." he whispered, a soft smile on his face. Bin let out a chuckle: "Maybe she knocked him out.". "Wouldn't be a surprise.". The boys decided that, finally, working was not urgent. Instead, they chose to have breakfast at JYP cafeteria and left Bangchan to finish his "night".

Sooki's POV

It was nearly 10 AM when I finally made it to JYP. After leaving Bangchan last night, I wanted to take a taxi but realized that I left my phone at the dorm (kill me) so I had to walk all the way back (which is approximately a 30 minutes walk). It was nearly 4 AM when I reached my bed. Let me tell you, it was REALLY complicated to wake up today. No wonder why everybody says Bangchan isn't a morning person. How could this man just function with this small amount of sleep ?

I was exhausted, and this explained a lot about why I was running late at work. Nomi was already waiting for me in front of the building: "Girl, I thought you wouldn't come.". "I am so sorry." I said between two heavy breaths due to my morning run. "You're lucky you work with your bestie. I prepared all your equipment. It's already in the van.". I looked at her with lovey eyes. "Life saviour. You know I love you, right ?". She flipped her hair : "Tss, how could you not ? Come on, they're waiting for us.".

All the staff was heading to the Gocheok Sky Dome. Tomorrow, Stray Kids was hosting a concert. It was really impressive. I mean, they've grown up so much that they were now performing in the biggest stadium in Seoul. As a staff member, a friend, and a fan, I was so proud of them. Since it was a big event, we were all really invested. All the staff should come early to prepare all the equipment. The make-up and hair stylist team was heading to the waiting room, preparing everything for the boys. The positive point of working in a swarm of staff members is that you have no time to feel the tiredness. I was running here and there, helping everyone until everything was settled.
