Perfect Puppy - Perfect Puppy Episode 10

#10

Minho grumbled as if embarrassed by the criticism from the people who seemed to have been waiting for him.

“No, we do it in group chat. “What are you talking about personally?”

“Seojae is surprisingly good at listening to stories. “You should try it too.”

“That feels very much like a review. “The owner is friendly. Five stars.”

Minho was playful and sly, so he often set the mood for conversation. Laughter poured out again. What else is surprising? Jaeha responded harshly.

“Do it.”

“Wow, I’m really unlucky, but what is this strangely happy feeling?”

“It seems like you really like Jaeha more than anyone else.”

“really.”

The target of teasing soon changed. Jaeha, who had escaped the target, leaned against the back of his chair and played with the cell phone in his pocket. Normally, I would have checked my phone at this time, but for some reason, I became a little hesitant. If this sudden digital detox is an opportunity… .

‘Senior, do you do something like fishery management?’

Even though Jaeha took most of his remarks lightly, he was somewhat shocked by those words. What was more shocking was that he genuinely asked the question, not with malicious or teasing intent.

Fishing grounds management. If you want to date, just date, why do I manage the fishery? Even though I was thinking that, every time I checked the unconfirmed messages, Haehyun’s voice floated in my head like an auditory hallucination. It made me think twice about whether or not it was strange for him to send me a reply with no substance. Later, I postponed checking the message itself because the process was cumbersome.

“So, what’s going on these days? Are you very busy?”

After the teasing was over, Cheonghee asked again at the table, which had calmed down a bit. When I contacted her asking her out for drinks, she responded the next day, so it seems like there was some resentment left behind. Jaeha lightly shrugged her shoulders.

“No, it’s not like that… . “It’s because the dog is preventing me from looking at my phone.”

It wasn’t wrong. This is because the large dog, who often tries to take over the bed, sneaks up behind him and glares at the screen every time he spots Jaeha trying to look at his phone, especially the messaging app. I don’t even know what you’re worried about. Thanks to this, I almost never use my cell phone at home, except for ethical(?) matters such as fishing grounds and other things.

“puppy? “Have you ever raised a dog?”

“No, I happened to pick it up a few days ago.”

“Wow, you picked up an abandoned dog? “Does Jaeha do something like that?”

“What are you looking at me for?”

When the junior, who seemed genuinely surprised, poked me in disgust, he waved his hand away, saying it was a joke. Meanwhile, another junior leaned forward and his eyes sparkled brightly.

“It looks cute. “Can’t you show me the picture?”

Starting with her, other people also clamored to see what the dog looked like. Unfortunately, she didn’t have or could take any pictures. Hae-hyeon did not change into her puppy form except when she first followed Jae-ha out.

When I told them I didn’t have any pictures, everyone looked very disappointed. The junior, who was asking what breed it was, started talking passionately about his dog when Jaeha seemed to have no knowledge about such things. The chattering junior had an album full of white and soft-looking Maltese dogs on his cell phone.

“cute.”

“Right? “He has a lot of cuteness.”

“what? “I want to see it too!”

“It reminds me of our sea. I raised it at my home and it’s really cute. “Do you want to see it?”

A pet bragging contest suddenly began, with other women joining in. In fact, she wasn’t very interested in raising animals, and Jae-ha was just giving a passable reply when she turned her head when she heard a knock on the door. Her delivery has already arrived.

The man with the iron bag had the ability to steal everyone’s attention as soon as he appeared. A delicious smell soon spread throughout the classroom.

“So, I heard there’s a delicious bar near the station.”

“really? “Where?”

“There’s an alley next to Exit 3. There… .”

After the delivery food arrived, it seemed a bit quiet as everyone was eating, but it soon became noisy. Among the people eating lunch and chatting noisily, Jae-ha, who quickly finished his bowl of black bean noodles, stood up.

“Brother, where are you going?”

“restroom.”

No matter how chaotic the atmosphere was, whenever Jaeha tried to move somewhere or do something, at least one person would notice. The junior who asked Jaeha’s answer smiled brightly and said he would leave one fried dumpling for him. After saying thank you and gesturing, I left the classroom and headed to the bathroom. Students were buzzing in the hallway as if class had just ended.

“Uh, senior?”

Jaeha, who was about to enter the bathroom, stopped when he heard a familiar voice. When she turned her head, a large man was standing there.

“Why are you here?”

Since it is a business school building, Haehyun, who is in the Department of Physical Education, will hardly ever come. Haehyun shrugged his shoulders at that question.

“I came to take a liberal arts class. “What about your senior?”

“I had lunch in my classroom.”

“What did you have for lunch?”

“Jajangmyeon.”

“You ate black bean noodles yesterday too.”

Last night, Haehyun said she wanted to eat delivery food for the first time in a while, so I ordered Chinese food. It was so good that I almost gave Haehyeon the sweet and sour pork we ordered to eat together.

“I just keep eating what I like.”

As Jaeha had a strong taste, he did not get tired of most things easily. In particular, I could easily eat my favorite foods several times in a row.

“Then shall we have black bean noodles for dinner later?”

Jaeha chuckled at the rather serious tone. His temporary roommate often made cute comments on distracting topics.

“You looked strange just now. what?”

“what.”

“Why are you so obnoxious?”

“Did you dare say something obnoxious to your senior just now?”

He said teasingly and held out his hand to tell him to go to class, but instead of moving away, Haehyun got closer. An outstretched hand suddenly came up to Jaeha’s face and brushed around his lower lip.

“… what?”

At that moment, even though I was indifferent to other people’s contact, I was a little surprised. Hearing her puzzled voice, Hae-hyeon flipped her thumb over to show her.

“No matter how delicious it is, you have to put something on it.”

It was Jjajang seasoning. When was it buried? . Hae-hyeon waved his hand, saying he would see if it was his last business.

“… … .”

For some reason, I felt uncomfortable. What is this strangely familiar yet unfamiliar feeling? . I thought about it briefly, but I couldn’t figure out its identity.

Jaeha stared blankly at the back of his head as he walked away, quickly stopped thinking and started walking again. Well, I thought it was no big deal.

“Study, let’s go get a drink!”

When Jae-ha returned from the bathroom, wiping off his wet hands and opening the classroom door, the people inside shouted in chorus. Jaeha reacted a beat late.

“suddenly?”

“No, brother. They said they found a new restaurant. Then we have to dispatch again.”

“Okay then. “Hasn’t it been a while since we stopped drinking?”

“No, sister. That’s not it. “You drank it the day before yesterday.”

“There was no Jaeha!”

“That’s right. “Study, is the attendance rate low these days?”

They threw a word at Jaeha, then started chatting among themselves and then turned their attention to Jaeha again. The similar conversation pattern each time had the unintended benefit of giving him time to think.

“Taaak. “Let’s just get to the third round.”

“Bro, how is the third car so clean?”

“If I go now, even the third round will be over before 10 o’clock, right?”

The current time is 1 PM.

“Hmm, let’s go right away? “I just contacted Jiwoo, and she said she wants to come too.”

“Can’t we go around 5 o’clock?”

“that’s right. Let’s wait a little bit and let’s go. Shin Hyeong-jun is also going.”

It seemed like he had already contacted other friends. It was fast too.

In Jae-ha’s department, the Department of Business Administration, the people in the department had particularly close relationships, and because there were many people who liked to have fun, drinking parties were frequent. However, surprisingly, Jaeha’s attendance rate was not very high. It was because there were so many calls here and there, and Jaeha himself didn’t give a definite answer to participate depending on his mood at the time. So people did not miss this moment when Jaeha was there.

“huh? “Jaeha, let’s go too.”

“Please have a drink with us after a long time!”

“that’s right. “Oppa, it’s too much~.”

“I have to attend class by 6 o’clock today.”

Despite Jae-ha’s desperate withholding, business continued without hesitation.

“Okay, you can come back after you’re done.”

“that’s right! “I’ll be there first.”

Come to think of it, it’s been almost two weeks since Jaeha last attended a drinking party. This was a miraculous record considering she only received calls asking for drinks twice a day.

Needless to say, the reason was because of a dog that had taken over his house. For the first few days, I felt like I had a guest in my house, so I deliberately refrained from coming home drunk, but these days… Needless to say, it was the result of paying attention to the term “fishery management.” If he got home even a little late, he was in no mood for it because he thought he would be grumpy because he was managing the fishery and because he stayed out all night.

“… … .”

No, it’s funny when you think about it, right? Even if it’s about fishing grounds management, what does it matter whether someone stays out overnight or not? He just comes in when he wants to.
