[team four] morning coffee
short privé!au snippet for now.
Chanyeol-centric + Baekhyun & Jongdae, G, 839 words
He was really thinking about himself, only himself. That was what Sehun kept saying. And that may have been true before, but Chanyeol liked to think that his attitude and overall work ethics had already changed a little during the couple of weeks he’d been working for Privé and Baekhyun. He was rarely late anymore, he did what he was told without complaints, tried to be polite and friendly to the staff and kept his personal opinions on the collection and the clothes to himself.
Being civil with Baekhyun was still something he needed to work on, but at least the dislike was mutual so when the boss was at the studio overseeing things, they both tried to stay out of each other’s way if just possible. It usually wasn’t since if he was there, Baekhyun always wanted to watch the shooting and give his ideas to the photographer or straight to Chanyeol. Chanyeol had become very good at biting his tongue and concentrating on the pay he’d be getting out of this.
On one particularly early morning when they were scheduled to do parts of the website shots, Chanyeol was almost nodding off in his chair during makeup. He wasn’t a morning person at all. When the makeup was done, he got up at once and proceeded on loitering around the studio to keep himself awake. He’d still have a lecture afterwards, too.
Suddenly there was a small commotion around the tables on the other side of the studio, and Chanyeol walked closer slowly to see what was going on. There was a staff guy in a bucket hat and fluffy hoodie and with takeout coffee cup trays handing people coffee. Other staff members were smiling and bowing at the guy, looking very happy at the early morning coffee treat. Chanyeol proceeded slowly, wondering if there was enough for him, too.
When he got by the table, bowing greetings to people, the staff guy turned to him with a venti americano in his hand.
“Good morning, Chanyeol-ssi,” he said and offered him the cup. The bucket hat was pushed back and a mask pulled under his chin, and only then did Chanyeol recognize it was Baekhyun. He blinked and had to do a double take at the other’s appearance. Sneakers, Adidas track pants and a big, fluffy hoodie. He would never have thought Baekhyun owned an outfit like that, let alone actually went out in one. He was usually so prim and proper whenever he was at the studio, in neat jeans or dark slacks, in button ups or brand t-shirts.
His surprise was probably visible on his face as Baekhyun raised his brows questioningly, holding the takeout cup higher since Chanyeol had still not taken it.
“What is it? Don’t you want coffee?”
“Ah, yeah sure, thank you,” Chanyeol muttered quickly and took the drink. “You look… quite different today. Did you run out of Yves Saint Laurent shirts?”
Baekhyun scoffed. “No, I decided to try how it feels like being you, dressed like a bum in public.”
Chanyeol rolled his eyes. “Well?”
“Not a fan,” said Baekhyun and marched off, leaving Chanyeol to sip on his americano sourly. It tasted exactly how he usually liked it. How had that guy known how many shots he preferred?
“So, you two still can’t help jabbing at each other at any given opportunity?” Chanyeol heard someone saying and turned around to find Kim Jongdae looking at him. He sighed. Jongdae was cool in his opinion, but he was still Baekhyun’s friend and always Very Aware of things.
Chanyeol shrugged. “I don’t know what to tell you.”
“Well I know what to tell you: being nice costs you nothing. And yes, I have also told Baekhyun that and will keep doing so.”
“It’s just that he always makes fun of my clothes so I couldn’t help it when finally it’s him who looks like he just rolled out of bed.”
“He kinda did,” Jongdae said. “Except he never went to sleep to begin with. He stayed up the whole night for this online meeting with the US side of the project. He’s exhausted but he still wanted to drop by to see the shoot and get you guys coffee.”
That rendered Chanyeol speechless and he watched in silence how Jongdae walked over to where Baekhyun and the photographer were talking. Now that he looked better, Baekhyun did seem tired. The whole fluffy and dishevelled appearance also made him look even younger than normally. He could easily have passed as Chanyeol’s junior in university.
He kept watching the trio, especially Baekhyun, who looked cheerful and attentive despite everything. Chanyeol was chewing on his straw, feeling a bit bad for his earlier words. Damn that Jongdae, he had an amazing skill of putting people back to their places and making them feel regretful.
So right then, Chanyeol made a secret promise to himself to start being more friendly to Baekhyun. Or at least trying to. He could do that. ...Right?

LMAO @ them commenting at each other's outfits. i can totally see both of them wearing those baggy hobo clothes, i don't need much imagination for that (unfortunately)........ especially bbh's bucket hat and a fluffy hoodie. ::::D
but yeah, i felt a bit bad for both of them since obviously there's just some lack of communication slash misunderstanding between them, but LUCKILY i already know what's eventually going to happen!! and thank god for our jongdae being the mouth of the wisdom when telling them they should treat each other better. i must say, i cracked up at "Very Aware of things" part. XD where's the lie, though! he's always a step ahead of everyone ahhahahahaaa (even later when they're making out in baek's office 8D)!
awwwww poor bbh not sleeping and pcy throwing nasty comments at him. :((((( but he couldn't know about that! and pcy realized he should start being more friendly to him, so that's a good start! awwwh they're such idiots but, like i said, luckily it gets eventually better between them (a LOT better......)! thank you jongdae again. bbh really seems like a sweetheart inside. ;_;
i'm still very very into this au, so i'm doing my best rooting for you to finish this at some point! ♥ i seriously wanna see how things develop for real and if there are going to be many problems/issues when the model is hooking up with the boss. 8) i'm sorry i can't find any words to describe how much i love this au! THANK YOU AND PLEASE GET LOTS OF CREATIVE INSPIRATION OKAY
