3rd Person POV

The next morning, Chan woke Ollie and Changbin up earlier than either would have liked. The meeting was set for 10 am and Chan knew that Changbin needed a minute to wake up. The group stayed up later than he wanted, so Chan wasn't surprised at how quiet it was downstairs. He heard the sound of pots and pans clanging together and followed the noise. As he entered the kitchen, he found Bonnie and Felix chasing each other around the island. She was giggling while Felix ran after her with a frying pan in his hand.

"No, stop!" she giggled, but both stopped in their tracks when they noticed Chan standing in the archway. He had his arms crossed over his chest and a wide smile on his face. He loved seeing how happy his Aussie brother was with Bonnie. While she was distracted, Felix took the opportunity and walked up behind her before tickling her sides. Bonnie cackled loudly as she fell to the floor.

Minho appeared next to Chan as he rubbed his eyes. "What the fuck is going on in here?" he barked. Felix stopped his assault before his head popped up from behind the island.

"Sorry, hyung," he apologized before pulling Bonnie up. Her hair was now a mess and her cheeks were red from waking someone up.

"Now that that's over, get out. I'm up. I might as well make breakfast." Minho walked over and took the skillet from Felix's hand before shooing the couple out of the kitchen. Chan chuckled at the situation before walking back up to his room to check on Laney. She was still sleeping soundly wrapped up in his floral comforter. He walked over and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. She stirred a little before soft snores filled the room.

Ollie was already up and had just finished their morning routine. They walked into Changbin's room to find him starfished on his stomach. His head was turned slightly so he could breathe and Ollie couldn't help but internally coo at how cute he looked while he was sleeping. They leaned down and poked his cheek.

"Binnie, baby, you have to wake up."

Changbin groaned, "But I don't want to."

Ollie chuckled, "Well, you can stay here if you want, but I don't want to be here when Chan finds you still in bed."

Changbin groaned loudly and Chan yelled down from his room, "Stop bitching and get up!" The sleepy male followed the command and sat up in his bed. He looked up at Ollie with sleepy eyes before an evil smirk appeared on his face and he lunged for them, wrapping his arms around them and pulling Ollie on top of him.

"There's no way in hell I'm getting up now," he said, his voice muffled due to his face being buried in the crook of Ollie's neck. Ollie giggled, the sensation tickling them a bit, before they pushed themselves off of their boyfriend.

"Yah, I'm going to kick your ass." They slapped Changbin's chest as they stood up. "Now, get up before Chan wakes up Laney and sicks her on us. I don't want to deal with her wrath today." Ollie didn't wait for Changbin to respond as the smell of breakfast tickled their nostrils. They quickly walked out of the room and ran downstairs to find Minho setting out various dishes on the dining table.

"Mm, Lino, that smells amazing!" Minho looked up from the table at Ollie and smiled in response. He loved it when people praised his cooking. "Breakfast will be done soon," Minho said before disappearing back into the kitchen.

By the time those who were awake were done with breakfast, it was time for Chan, Changbin, and Ollie to leave. The three said goodbye before loading into Chan's van and setting off for the company. No one spoke as they drove and that was the worst thing for Ollie. Their mind clouded with so many thoughts; flashbacks of the situation at the nightclub, what the company might say, and so much more. They were expecting the worst but sincerely hoping for the best.
