[ CHAPTER 6 ]
baby angel

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

FOR some strange reason jeongguk awakens early, heart thumping against his head, palms slick against his sheets and a slimmer of a smile pressed at his lips.

the clouds were yet to sift past through the navy of the endless land, slabs of honey-gold slanting across the rise of his carpet as he slumps against his sheets, donned in a crisp white dress shirt tucked into a pair of faded, ripped jeans and topped with a pair of his loyal timberlands.

sighing heavily, he narrows his eyes at the clock perched across the room, caught by surprise at the light chirp his phone emits. flipping upon his belly, his eyes flicker across the light background of his device.

ignore read 6.37 am
8am good with u?

an hour and a half to kill off, jeongguk supposes, unconsciously scowling as he contemplates what he was to do during that time of unbelievable boredom.

ignore read 6.50 am
jeon fucking jeongguk, answer

ignore read 6.55 am
istg when i get my hands on u

jeongguk believes that the young veterinarian were much too violent for his liking, his threats were appalling not that they terrified him in the least.

ignore read 6.57 am
fine, u won't mind if i tell the news reporter across the street that i just happened to be the guy who saw ur little stunt?

eyes widening, he rushes to type in an answer, heart thumping wildly in his ears.

read 6.57 am you
8's good

ignore read 6.58 am
good 2 know ur alive.

by the time eight o'clock rolls by, jeongguk stands by the practice, fingers delved into the pockets of his padded coat, a prominent scowl pressed against his sharp features as he internally curses a certain silver-haired male.

"eight in the morning." jeongguk imitates mockingly, "wait till i get my hands on him."

shifting his weight to another leg, he nudges at the walls of his cheeks with his tip of his tongue, increasingly agitated as the time ticks by and flakes of daisy-white dot at his cheeks.

"sorry!" a familiar voice blurs into the flooded streets of cobbled white, "she's very touchy, interactive if you must."

squinting, he's able to make out the coated figure of a laden taehyung, smiling broadly, fingers loose against the bends of his leash curled at his palm as an elderly woman bends down to pat dotingly at a rather familiar bronze-coated dog.

bidding the woman goodbye, he jogs to arrive at the practice, a sheepish beam at his lips as he catches jeongguk's unimpressed expression.

"sorry, i got a bit caught up with getting these two ready, some of us are too spoilt for their own good aren't they tan-ah?" taehyung explains, frowning playfully as he shifts his coat to the side, a tuft of mocha emerging into view through narrowed eyes.

"this yeontan?"' jeongguk asks, offering a tight-lipped grin to the puppy who speculates him from head to toe, "'your baby angel'?"

"yep." he pronounces proudly, shifting his arm to hold the dog more comfortably, "he's been my best friend since day one."

"cute, and i guess this is her."

"right! to introductions - misun meet jeongguk, he's not a badie anymore and guk meet misun, she's the sweetest baby, you'll love her."

misun peers inquisitively at him, alike to yeontan who was long past this stage now whining and squinting stubbornly to sniff feverishly at his scent, nudging his muzzle to his owner's neck in what he yearns to be as persuasive luring.

"guk?" he queries, lips quirking upwards.

taehyung grins sheepishly, "jeongguk's too much of a mouthful."

nodding, jeongguk merely stands, feeling increasingly awkward as the dog returns his unblinking stare, shifting within the folds of his coat as he mulls over what he was supposed to do.

"go on." taehyung prods, beam still gleaming at his bright rose lips, "give her a feel."

and so he does, trudging begrudgingly closer to the still rather silent labrador before shifting his hand from within the folds of cotton to caress kempt, honey fur when he's halted in his movements by an astounded growl and a set of yellowed canines are bared in warning.

reeling back - and feeling terribly embarrassed so - , palm clasped in the other as he watches with wide eyes at the growling dog who snarls at him, hind raised in warning.

"misun-ah!" taehyung falls in warning, dropping to his feet to pull the great dog to his chest, much to yeontan's disagreement, "hey, it's okay sweetie, no one's going to hurt you."

whether or not misun comprehends what he were saying was arguable but the doting expression upon his features said enough as he runs comforting fingers past her ears, all the while whistling gently to calm her agitated nerves.

"that's it baby, calm down. it's alright, hm?"

jeongguk can only watch on, still rather ruffled as he struggles to morph his expression into one of plain indifference when the elder's next words startles him even further.

"now, i know what he did was terrible but he's really sorry, and he'll tell you that himself as well. i thought it would be good if you two can work it out between yourself so we can put it all behind us, that alright baby?"

misun merely whines when taehyung halts his stroking, muzzle nosing at his arm, nudging him to continue with what was supposedly fabricated heaven for the female labrador.

"what?!" jeongguk hisses behind, visibly anxious, "she'll rip my arm off, are you crazy!"

"she won't rip your arm off." taehyung retorts, rolling his eyes at the younger's ridiculousness, "just treat her like how you treat me- no don't do that, be nice that's all."

snickering lightly at the comment, he swallows thickly, falling to his knees to join taehyung's crouched state as he fixes the animal with what he hopes is the same warm expression taehyung wears, lips tugging upwards to double the effect.

"okay, no." the silver-haired grimaces, "stop forcing yourself, you look constipated. relax, if you don't hurt her she won't hurt you."

scowling, jeongguk frowns internally, bewildered as to what he was to do to earn the labrador's trust and put behind the nagging guilt that had eaten at him for the weeks. he's taken by surprising however when his hand in engulfed in warmth, the smooth texture of the other's hand hovering over his own startling him from his thoughts.

"i think saying sorry would be a good start." taehyung whispers between themselves, lips quirked as he throws the boy a sly side glance.

running a nervous tongue upon his lips, jeongguk feels himself nodding absently as he flicks his gaze to the equally distressed canine.

"um...sorry." he mumbles stiffly, cheeks warm as he drops his gaze.

"because?..." taehyung prods.

"for hurting you."

"and?..."

"i promise to never do it again."

before he knows it a thin arm is slung around his neck and he's drawn close, cheeks pressed against taehyung's as he exclaims gaily, "that wasn't so hard! what do you say misun? think he deserves a kiss?"

if it weren't for the fact that jeongguk was so immersed at the close embrace he's been unwillingly pulled into, torsos brushing and cheeks aflame, he may have taken note of how taehyung's clasp against his palm tightens and their fingers intertwine gently between them.

misun, visibly perplexed and maybe a tad indecisive, casts jeongguk a final glare of some sort before trotting forward to slobber a wet kiss against taehyung's cheek, her tongue slathering against both of their's either way - much to jeongguk's repulse - before she backs away to watch in content at the disgust that immediately wrinkles at their noses.

"oh my God this is fucking disgusting, i have dog slobber all over me, what type of disease-"

"oh shut up." taehyung retorts in amusement, "you've got dettol in your car anyway, you'll be fine."

"piss off."
