"Yes." JoJo said. "You'll be moving into hyung's bedroom." 


"But what about my toys?" Teddie asked.


"Your toys can stay here. You can put some of them in your new room, but you can keep most of them here." She said.


Poppy was very unhappy as she listened to this conversation. "Mom, I don't want Teddie Oppa to move to Juno Oppa's room." She said firmly.


"Well, I'm sorry, but Teddie is going to be 10 soon. He'll be too old to share a room with you." JoJo explained.


"Why???" Poppy whined. "Who will I snuggle with if I get scared at night?"


"You can come snuggle with me and dad for a while if you're scared." JoJo said.


Poppy thumped onto the floor. "No! I hate it!"


"I know, but you have a month to get used to the idea before it happens. Okay?" 


"No!" Poppy spat, turning away from JoJo with her arms crossed.


Teddie sighed. "It'll be okay. I'll still snuggle with you before bed." He assured.


Poppy started crying sadly.


Her world was falling apart.


How dare her parents take her older brother away like this! They had no good reason. At least not in her opinion!

Teddie waddled into Juno's room that night.


"Hyung?" He said, opening the door.


"Hey." Juno smiled.


Teddie walked in, sitting on Juno's desk chair, pouting.


"What's wrong?" Juno asked, pursing his lips.


Teddie sighed dramatically. "Well... Well, do you actually want to share a room?" He asked honestly.


Truthfully, Juno didn't. He liked having his privacy and space, and he knew that he wouldn't be able to shut Teddie out if this was going to be his room too. But he wasn't going to say that. He didn't want Teddie to feel out of place or unwanted. After all, what else was the kid supposed to do? Sleep in a closet?


"Yes. I want to share a room." Juno smiled.


"You won't get mad at me for being in here when you're busy?" Teddie whispered sweetly.


"No. I won't get mad. After all, it'll be your room too."
