Presenting their drinks to Hoshi and Jihoon, they had expecting looks in their eyes. "Which one do you want?" Seungcheol asked.

Hoshi also turned to Jihoon, letting him choose first. Jihoon only blinked a few times before picking the glass closest to him, which happened to be Wonwoo's. 

"...." Seungcheol glared a hole into the side of Wonwoo's head. "It's okay hyung this isn't a big deal, Jihoon just likes me better."

Falling for Wonwoo's comfort only to get pricked again, Seungcheol nearly threw a tantrum. He huffed and turned away, stuffing his drink into Hoshi's hand.

Hoshi put the glass down, turned to Seungcheol, leapt on him, and rubbed his hands all over Seungcheol's hair and face. "Awww~ so cute~ our hyung is so cute when he's jelly~ awwww ujujujuju~ our hyungie so cuuuuttteeee~!!!!!"

"GET OFF MEEEE!!!!!!" *Nobody got hurt :) *

"So? How's it going? You like the song?" Wonwoo asked after noticing the music program open on the monitor.

"Oh! It's amazing~" Hoshi said, as he got off Seungcheol to glomp Wonwoo. Wonwoo kept him at arms length, keeping the hugging monster away. "I really like it but I don't think I can sing the pre-chorus and other parts as well as you do."

"I'm sure a little practice will do you fine."

"You don't get it do you~?"

"Hm?"

"Since you sang it, could you sing it for me?"

".....mm?" Wonwoo pointed at himself. "Me?" He looked at Jihoon for confirmation. "Me?????"

Jihoon nodded, also pointing at him. "Jihoon also noticed that since he made the song in a way to match your singing, that he'd have to adjust a few things for me. I'm just saving work for him if you agree to sing."

Finally getting an arm over Wonwoo's shoulder, he picked up his glass and took a sip. "Honey, this is a collab between Hoshi the tiger and Woozi the mysterious composer. No one would hate on hearing your voice. In fact, they would enjoy it even more!!!"

"Uh...." Wonwoo continued to hesitate. Seungcheol noticed his struggle and decided to butter it up a little more. 

"Say, don't you want to see a real recording studio? I promised to provide everything you needed to produce a song, even if it isn't for me. Jihoon would need to go with Hoshi to the studio to record, would you let him go alone~?"

"No, he won't go alone, I'd follow-"

"And if I bar you from entering~?" He's playing dirty. Wonwoo glared at him. "You're making me not want to participate."

"I'm sorry." Seungcheol immediately reflected. 

"Anyway, it's just those parts right? Everything else you'd do yourself right?" Hoshi bobble head nodded.

"Then fine. I'll help." 

"Yaaaayyyy~~~" Cheered Hoshi and Seungcheol. Wonwoo had to hold himself from knocking them in the head, remembering that they were older, he held back.

---------------

They had gotten the okay from Jeonghan, Joshua and Jun to go to the studio and headed out the day after. The three were pro babysitters at this rate, Joshua with his chiding, Jeonghan with his motherly personality and Jun being the tireless playmate. 

"The studio we're going to is one designed by yours truly." Seungcheol introduced as he guided the others through his workplace. 

"I love music, that's why this company is literally my dream come true. I use to do music too, but I got too busy for it and shelved it."

Unlocking the door, he opened the door and the lights. Appearing like a dream studio, all the items inside were up to date and brand new. 

"Although I don't mix music anymore, my interest in it never left me so I keep this place with the times and fool around from time to time."

Letting Jihoon sit in the chair before the monitors, he stood next to him and turned the computer on. "Use this place as you like, the recording room is right next door, that window right there. I hope you like it."

Jihoon only sat for a while, looking at all the new devices before getting up and looking around the recording booth. Seeing the mic positioned quite a bit above him, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous of the other's height. Hoshi who noticed what he was looking at snickered and shoved Seungcheol into the booth.

Seungcheol who was thrown in was confused but quickly noticed the problem, bringing the mic down silently. It was written all over his face, 'no I'm just messing around with the mic, I'm not making fun of your height' but Jihoon still huffed and left. Wonwoo and Hoshi had to hold each other up from laughing too hard. They should probably help Seungcheol learn how to hide his thoughts from showing on his face.

Back at the computer, Jihoon pulled his song from his drive and played it a few times, tweaking it a little here and there. "H-hoshi h-hyung, you want to r-record n-now?"

"Yes~"

Hoshi went first, recording what he practiced. Along the way, Jihoon would give him advice and he'd listen and try, their professionalism showing. Wonwoo was satisfied with their chemistry and stepped out to take a call.

"What's up Joshua hyung?"

"Uhhh so it seems the kids have found an ant trail inside the house and are kicking up a fuss. I have Jun running to the store to get cleaning supplies and ant bait, but the kids are kind of hard to handle right now. Mind sending a person back?"

Wonwoo can hear Jeonghan shushing the terrified children and Joshua trying to keep the curious ones away from the ants.

"I'll see what I can do." Ending the call, he entered the studio again and paused. Seeing Hoshi and Jihoon working hard, his only other target was Seungcheol. Looking at Seungcheol, he was asking questions and learning from Jihoon over his shoulder. Wonwoo decided this was the most excited expression he's seen on his face and an idea popped into his head.

"Hyung, Jihoon, there seems to be an ant problem at the house and they need more hands."

"Oh? Did they call pest control?"

"No, it seems Joshua hyung told Jun hyung to get ant bait and cleaning supplies so it's just Jeonghan hyung and Joshua hyung at home. I'm going to go back."

"Mm? But you're recording, oh you wanna come again another day?"

"Nope, Jihoon is going to sing."

Jihoon turned around at his name. "M-me?"

"If he made it for me to sing, then why would I still struggle to sing it? It's made for you. Jihoon I know you can do it."

"W-wait-" "Nope, Hoshi hyung needs help and only you and I can do it. And you know it yourself that you can sing it better than me, don't lie."

"B-but-"

"Ah ah ah! I'ma go~ have fun~! Seungcheol hyung, you can try your hand at mixing too~!" And Wonwoo ran away.

Jihoon, Seungcheol, and Hoshi stared at the closed door. "Did he do what I think he just did?" Hoshi said.

"I think he did what we all though he wouldn't do."

"ungh."
