Baekhyun has a knack for surprising Sehun. Well, he has a knack for surprising just about everyone at the company, but mostly Sehun. Once he had picked up an abandoned kitten on the side of the road on the way to work and found a way to hide it under his desk so that Junmyeon or Minseok wouldn’t make him take the animal outside due to the building’s ‘no pets’ policy.

It’s nothing like what the promotional photo on the box looks like.

“Why isn’t it coming smoothly like in the videos?” Baekhyun whines. 

Oh, there’s that pout again, Sehun thinks. “It says the chocolate should be a pretty thin consistency in order for it to flow. Did you add enough oil?” 

Baekhyun freezes, pressing his lips into a thin line. “No…” he says slowly. “I didn’t realize I had to do that. Oops. Do you think we can spoon it ba
