"Jaebum, you promised! Do it now, I know you aren't sleeping! I have to go to work dammit!" Youngjae huffed, grasping onto Jaebum's earlobe with two fingers, pinching his earlobe with his fingers making Jaebum flinch yet he kept up his act, pretending to be asleep which irritated the hell out of Youngjae.

Youngjae was getting tired of Jaebum, not having the patience nor the time to deal with him. He grabbed his leg, pulling him off the bed and before Jaebum could voice his complaints, he was on the ground, now it was too obvious that he was awake. "Idiot" Youngjae huffed once more, he took Jaebum's phone out, placing it on his chest. "Call your brother, see what he says about..you know- this" he sighed.

"Shouldn't I wait until your back so you'll know what goes down?" Jaebum mumbled, taking his phone and sitting up. Youngjae stood up, he shrugged. "A text would do just fine, even if I come back home and see you're not here I'm pretty sure I'll understand what that means" he said.

"Damn- stingy aren't you? I know you're trying to be mean but you'll be sad if I actually leave I know it" Jaebum said with a smirk but Youngjae didn't say anything else to fuel his cockiness, he just rolled his eyes before glancing at the time.

"I have to go to work," he said since he didn't want to be late, he had way too much to catch up on. "Please just don't- I don't know, don't fuck anything up, okay?" He said while Jaebum was playing with Coco, the puppy just walking around- not giving Jaebum any attention but Jaebum wanted the attention so he kept putting his face close to the puppy. "You said you liked cats better" Youngjae muttered under his breath. "What was that?" Jaebum asked, looking up at Youngjae. Youngjae sighed, "Nothing, bye".

"You run away like every other month, of course I wasn't gonna go after you! Where are you even staying?" Jaehyung asked, frustrated as always with his younger brother— he just had to call him while he was in a meeting, when he saw it was Jaebum though he really wanted to know where he's been so he excused himself.

"Mm...a friend's house" he replied, not specifying that it was Youngjae since Jaehyung has met him on several occasions to ask him questions about the ordeal about Jaebum ripping off another company's design. "Alright send me the address, I'll come and pick you up as soon as I'm done with my meeting then we'll go home" he said, about to hang up the phone. "No! Wait! You rush too damn much..I wasn't finished!" Jaebum said frantically so his brother wouldn't hang up the phone.

"I kinda..wanna stay at his place, I like it here, it's fun and he doesn't mind at all!" Jaebum said- mostly just convincing himself that this was true.

"Jesus kid, I know this is probably just one of your 'special friends' and you always act like an idiot by spending money! You can't keep spending my money Jaebum!" He said— trying to keep his voice down but still somehow come off angry since he was. Jaehyung's wealth was his own money, he didn't care if Jaebum recklessly spend their father's money on his boy toys- but it was his money and he didn't want to go bankrupt because Jaebum ran into a expensive stripper or some shit.

"Mm then I won't, you're the one that gave me your credit cards, I'm assuming it was to use them and you have so much money anyways, I just spend it on banana related things yesterday?" Jaebum chuckled, using one hand to keep the phone to his ear and the other hand giving Coco a belly rub but the puppy eventually got up, leaving him.

"Oh my god is that a sex pun you disgusting rat?" He huffed lowly when he had heard 'banana related things'. Jaebum furrowed his brows before he laughed when realizing what Jaehyung thought.

"Sure, think whatever you want but I don't care, I won't spend your money! I'll be fine with my new roommate" Jaebum said, smiling to himself. "I don't take your word for it, I don't want you to spend my money but I don't want you to stay at someone else's house and end up getting yourself killed" Jaehyung sighed since he knew in the recent years, Jaebum has only been getting himself into more trouble because of the people he would hangout with. "Aww you care about me don't you?" Jaebum teased, snickering— making Jaehyung regret ever feeling sympathetic towards his little brother.

"A week. I'll give you a week, stay with that roommate of yours and I'm gonna completely cut you off, update me how it is in a week and if you can't stand being cut off, then you have to come back" he said with a sigh, he actually wanted this to work out for Jaebum- this was a step to being more independent at least.

Jaebum was pretty nervous. He's never been without 'his' money so to suddenly be cut off..would be hard for him to adjust to. But he sighed, he did what Youngjae said at least so he would have to make a sacrifice. "I'll be fine, me and Youngjae will have fun" Jaebum smiled to himself.

"Wait you're staying with—"
"Bye hyunggg" he said, not wanting to deal with his slip up, he hung up the phone.

He sighed, "Oops, eh, I don't think he cares that much" he yawned, standing up then leaving the room. "Where'd ya go Mr. Coco powder I'm lonely" he hummed, trailing out the room, looking for the pup.

He saw the puppy just chewing at a sock, he figured that was just a regular thing for a dog to do so he sat down beside him, turning on the tv. Not even noticing Jaebum was petting the dog as he was watching tv but he somehow still didn't admit how much he loved Coco with how much time he's spent with the puppy. Would he still defend his love for cats like his life depended on it against Youngjae? Probably.

"Hmph, Youngjae never told me how long he would be gone, how long do lawyers stay at work? I'll be bored.." he sighed, he didn't even have money to spend around to entertain himself. "Damn this is how it's like to be broke.."

He looked down at the puppy, "You know, you're a dog but you're lazy like a cat, be more hyper- I'm bored" he said as if Coco understood before Jaebum furrowed his brows. "Where's the sock?" He questioned- mostly himself since again, it's not like Coco could respond. Jaebum's blood went cold— "Holy fuck— nooo, you didn't!" He gasped, the puppy looked innocent but really guilty, it's as if he regret swallowing the sock as well.

Jaebum quickly googled it because he honestly wanted to know if he could just let this pass and not have to tell Youngjae and disappoint him— yet again. It said stuff about how the dog would continue throwing up until the sock came out— not good, then some other things about how if it didn't happen then the other option would be surgery— also not good. The website also said not to wait and see, if it happens then taking the dog to the vet would be the best thing to do so then he googled what the cost would be. "Oh fuckkkk I hate being broke so much oh my god" and he's only been living the 'broke life' for five minutes.
