Chanyeol rolled over and opened his eyes, to find Baekhyun sitting on the edge of his bed, making him jump. "Waaaaaaa! You scared me! How long have you been there? Is there a reason for you sitting on my bed while i sleep?" he asked, yawning as he ruffled his purple hair with his fingers. "I only just sat down, silly! I wasn't watching you sleep. I was just about to wake you. I made coffee." he replied, handing him the cup. "Ah, great, thanks. Yah, you're up and dressed early. We don't have dance practice til this afternoon, do we?"
