It was a peaceful afternoon, a rare occurrence in a university dorm, so Jaebum was enjoying the quietness until it lasted. However, the minute he started appreciating it, a sound which he can only describe as wail of a dying cat, started coming from the other room.

Quickly leaving the kitchen, he made his way to the source of demonic noise and was surprised to see his roommate lying down in his bed, face buried on the pillow, groaning and crying. Dramatically.

Amused, he went closer and playfully slapped him on the arm to get his attention.

‘Jinyoung’

But the crying just intensified.

‘Dude stop, people will think there is an exorcism going here or something’

At that, the wailing stopped but Jinyoung still had his face buried in the pillow, making Jaebum chuckle.

‘Come on get up already. What’s wrong? It’s too early to be such a whiny mess, even for you.’

‘ off Jaebum’ the younger finally responded, a victory for Jaebum until he realized he just got cursed at.

‘Yah where’s the respect? this isn’t yaja time kid’

‘Okay then off Jaebum hyung’

Jaebum scowled. Who thought the university topper would be such a diva?

‘Okay I’ve had enough of your bratty attitude’ and with Jaebum tackled the unguarded younger into a sitting position, laughing when Jinyoung glared daggers at him.

‘What’s wrong kid? Someone stole your cookie?’

‘Keep talking to me like that and you’re never going to find out’

Jaebum just sighed and raised his hands, implying he surrendered but Jinyoung just shifted his glare from Jaebum to the floor as if it personally offended him, not saying anything.

‘Anytime you’re ready Jinyoung’ Jaebum says cheerfully, while the younger just rolls his eyes at the sarcasm.

‘You remember the job I got?’ He mumbled

‘The part-time babysitter job?’

‘It’s not a babysitter job’ Jinyoung disagreed a bit defensively ‘I’m not looking after babies, I’m caretaker, and I’ll be looking after a grown man’

‘Riiiight. Much better’ Jaebum sarcastic smile and condescending tone was making Jinyoung’s blood boil.

‘ANYWAY, I just found out who I have to look after’

‘You did? is that why you're so upset? Oh don’t tell me it’s someone we know. That would be embarrassing’ Jaebum said chuckling, but when Jinyoung stayed quiet, he burst out laughing.

‘Oh my god
