Summary: Yoseob decides to get a puppy but comes away with something else
Dog 4 Free
Yellow Labrador Puppy; small male, very cute. Free to good home.
Yoseob finds himself stood outside apartment 14b, staring at shining brass knocker. Inside is a calamity of noise that breaches the pine door. Low barks, a shout of ‘No, Stop! I said Do-‘ and the crashing of something fragile - and probably very expensive. He looks down at the advert in hand. It’s only a small puppy… right?
The door swings open some moments later and Yoseob comes face to face with a naked but muscular chest. The skin is tanned and there’s a few faint hairs in a rough line down the centre of the other male’s torso. Yoseob’s lips form a surprised ‘oh’ and he looks up to meet flushed cheeks and an equally surprised expression. ‘You must be -‘ The stranger stops mid-sentence as something yellow whizzes passed them. Yoseob crouches, slender arms wrapping around the ball of fluff and when he straightens he realises he’s holding one very small and very cute yellow Labrador.
‘He’s a handful’ Says the man, looking a little worn and tired. His eyes are bloodshot, lined with dark circles and Yoseob nods as something wet nudges at his collar bone. ‘I understand if you don’t want him’ The man says, already reaching out to take the puppy from Yoseob. He gets this a lot. Yoseob looks up again, takes in the high cheekbones, chiselled jaw and praline coloured eyes.
A larger dog which Yoseob presumes is the pup’s mother appears between the man’s legs and paws at Yoseob’s shin. He crouches down in front of her, extending the puppy towards the large female. She licks the puppy’s head, smoothing the fur between it’s ears then licks Yoseob’s knuckles. ‘You mind if I take this little one home, girl?’ The dog gives a bark, licks at his hand again and trots back inside the apartment.
‘You - You really want to take him?’ The man stares at him with a mixture of relief and fear. Yoseob chuckles and nods his head. He scratches at the puppy’s chin and watches as a series of emotions pass over the other male’s handsome features. It takes a while but he eventually seems to remember himself because he steps back, holding the door wide open. ‘Why don’t you come in? I’m Doojoon’
Yoseob returns two weeks later. The puppy is officially old enough to take home now. A fully clothed Doojoon swings the door open and Yoseob has to catch the bundle of fluff that whizzes between the older man’s ankles. It’s become a routine after visiting his new puppy every day. ‘Sorry, Yoseobie. I’m running a little late’ Flushes the older man as he lets the blonde inside. ‘I’ll just be a few minutes. Make yourself at home’
Yoseob wanders further into the apartment and slips the puppy into his pen. They both know he’ll be out of it in just a few minutes. Bessie, the pup’s mother makes her way over, tongue pressing to Yoseob’s exposed shins. He chuckles and scratches her ear.
Doojoon appears from his bedroom some moments later, a light jacket slung over his shoulder and adjusting the straps of his backpack. ‘Ready to go?’ He twirls a set of house keys on his finger and gestures towards the front door. Yoseob grins, giving both dogs one last scratch before joining the older male.
They meet Yoseob’s friends Hyunseung and Kikwang at a local coffee shop some fifteen minutes away. Yoseob isn’t surprised to see a third man sat close to Hyunseung - It’s the dark-eyed stranger who found Hyunseung through a missed connection. Hyunseung murmurs something to the man’s ear as he and Doojoon take a seat at the table but he doesn’t miss the way Kikwang smiles. ‘Trust Seobbie to look at a puppy and come away with a boyfriend’
