"Don't look at me like that. You know I have to do this."

Chaehyun packed away his clothes, keeping his head on the half filled up suitcase, doing his best to ignore the whines and whimpers from behind him. Though, he couldn't stop himself from glancing at the source of the sound every five seconds – the cries hurt his heart.

"I have to go. I need to provide for you. For us."

Another whimper.

Chaehyun sighed and dropped the hoodie that was in his hands before throwing his head back. His hand reached up to pinch the bridge of his nose and an angry grumbling sound met his ears. Chaehyun spun around to face the culprit who wouldn't even look at him. And he broke.

"Eleven please, don't do this. I'll be back before you know it." Chaehyun dripped to his knees beside the dog that only looked away from him. "So you're really not gonna look at me huh? Wow. Stop being petty, Eleven. You know this has to be done!"

The dog huffed and threw her head down against the soft pillow which her owner had provided for her. Chaehyun stood up with a grumble before going back to his suitcase, if Eleven wanted to ignore him then she could. He would beat her at her own game.

And so, the human and the pup didn't even look at each other. Chaehyun threw the clothes in the case with a firm pout. Eleven only seemed to perk up when she heard Lucas yelling somewhere in the apartment. Her head lifted and tail pounded against the bed in excitement.

Chaehyun scoffed. "So you'll get excited over another man huh?"

Eleven didn't even look at him but whimpered joyfully when the door burst open to reveal and excited Lucas. The dog flew off the bed and jumped up on Lucas though due to her small legs, she didn't get any higher than his knee. Giggling, Lucas kneeled down and allowed the dog to lick his face much to Chaehyun's annoyance.

"She wasn't glued by your side when I walked in. Is there something wrong? Did the two of you fight?" Lucas asked, concern dripping from his tone.

He lifted himself up and walked slowly towards his best friend with the dog in his arms. Lucas glanced down at Eleven who turned away from her owner and he gasped. This wasn't like them at all. Usually, they were glued together. Eleven was always in his space, having some part of her rested against him and if she wasn't, her eyes would always find him; she never looked away.

"We had a disagreement and she's giving me the silent treatment. But it's fine. I'm fine. It's her own loss."

"Oh no, Chae I'm so sorry."

"This is disturbing," Mark's voice came from the bathroom. "She's a dog. They aren't married—"

"How dare you speak ill of my Eleven. She isn't just a 'dog' she's my baby and if you speak about her like that again, I'll shove her chew toy so far up your asshole it will—"

"Okay! I get it! I'm leaving now anyway, hope you two sort out your problems." Mark left the room with his hands up in defence.

Lucas shook his head and patted Chaehyun's shoulder comfortingly. "He just doesn't understand. He didn't mean anything by it. Eleven will come 'round soon. I promise. She loves you, she's just upset and needs some space right now."

Chaehyun understood, but Eleven had never acted this way with him before but he sadly nodded.

"I guess. Wanna help me pack?" Lucas nodded.

The pair set to work and Lucas emptied all of the bag, redoing the entire thing as apparently Chaehyun had left out all of his favourite clothes. How Lucas noticed that Chaehyun's favourite jumper was missing before he did, he would never know but he didn't bother complaining.

Lucas knew him better than he knew himself.

Chaehyun was in the middle of folding one of his shirts when he felt a stroke of fluffy fur graze against the exposed skin of his ripped jeans. Looking down, he spotted his dog standing and staring up at him with excitement in her eyes. Within seconds, the shirt was gone and replaced by a large fluff ball.

"Told ya so," Lucas sang watching with a smile as his best friend nuzzled his head against Eleven's, the pair looked content and happy to be back on good terms.

"Ahhh, the boy and his baby."

Eleven deserved her own little chapter, I love her. I love her a lot. And she's not real. Ugh, anyway I hope you enjoyed. Thank you so much for reading whatever this crack chapter was.

This is an NCT book but I am so excited for this BTS comeback! I can't wait! The trailers were great.

As usual, this wasn't proofread because I'm lazy.

Your endless support means the world.

You are appreciated 💓
