Myung dragged Jungkook through the store isles, her eyes on a blue button up shirt for the family dinner they were scheduled to have. Taehyung trailed behind the two hurried people, trying his best to keep focus and keep up with their fast walking.

He tried to keep his head forward, not looking at the toys that littered the shelves, making him stop in his tracks and look at the colorful dog toy. He took it in his hands, his ears starting to form as he looked at it eagerly, it even squeaked. It was much more advanced than any toy he ever owned. He started at it, should he sneak it into their cart?

He turned to where he last saw his master, his head falling to the right, they were no where to be found. This silly hybrid was now lost in the middle of a huge mall. He shrugged, tucking the toy under his arm and skipped a random direction, only becoming more lost, but his tail was wagging so quickly because of the toy.

The toy was a little teddy bear that made a noise. Any regular dog would tear up their toys, but Taehyung cherished his toys dearly, he would use them with utmost care, making sure nothing happened to them if he could prevent it.

He skipped down another isle, now realizing that he was so completely lost, he had wandered to the back of the store, and he didn't remember going that far before, with Jungkook or Myung. He gulped.

He neared the bathroom, indicated by the hanging sign. He skipped toward it, but a pull on his tail made him turn around quickly. It was a man, who looked at the hybrid confused.

"P-please don't pull my tail.." Taehyung whimpered, feeling a wave of submissive come over his body, practically freezing in place. The man only chuckled dryly, pulling on his tail once again. Taehyung winced, grabbing his tail and pulling it behind himself.

The man neared the hybrid with an amused smirk, flicking the poor hybrid's ear.

"What happened here?" He'd ask, poking his finger through the hole in the white labrador's ear. Taehyung felt trapped, cornered as the man continued his steps forward, toward the hybrid, who easily submitted to his strong demeanor.

"Whose your owner, puppy?" He'd ask with a smirk.

"That would be me, and I'd like if you got off my hybrid." A strong, male voice came from, seeming like, nowhere. The man backed away from Taehyung, who ran over to the male, giving him the biggest hug.

"Master.." He mumbled into the male, or Jungkook's shoulder. He already felt safe in his arms, as Jungkook returned the hug to the hybrid. Jungkook nudged the hybrid away, as the man started to hurry away, Jungkook quickly went after him.

Myung stood beside Taehyung, sighing softly as she looked at the boy with a sort of, disappointed glance.

"You cant just run away like that."

"I'm sorry.."
