"Did you hate sleeping apart from Eui-geun that much?"
"Yeah... Don't say that."
I'm sure the instructions Huening gave me said, 'If you don't sleep together, you'll get into trouble,' but the Yeonjun I've seen so far listens well and hasn't caused any trouble.
Seeing him so quietly in my arms right now... it feels strange. It feels like I'm raising a son, not a companion.
"Can I lick it?"
"no"
...and it's really weird

I searched for "half-human, half-beast" on the green screen for no reason. Of course, it wouldn't come up. Right now, I'm facing the biggest dilemma of my life.
Taehyun and I will soon be living together, and Yeonjun. I thought I should be honest with him, so I called Taehyun to a cafe we โโfrequented, but I'm really nervous.
Am I getting slapped?
"Hey lady!"
"Oh...you're here?"
"What do you have to say that makes you look so serious?"
That's... well... um,
Taehyun, who was not normally this speechless, sensed the gravity of the situation and looked at me seriously. Ha... Where should I start? I took a sip of coffee and barely managed to open my mouth.
"Taehyun, have you heard of Suin?"
"..Suin?"
"I know you won't believe this, but... my dog โโturned into a human... a man at that."
Ah, I'm screwed. Honestly, no matter how I say it, it doesn't make sense, but a puppy suddenly turning into a human... Well, it's true! I was just stating the facts. I glanced at Taehyun and he seemed more calm than I thought.
"Didn't Kai say that you were the son of a researcher?"
"Huh?.. Yeah"
"Give me your number."
???
I was completely taken aback by the unexpected turn of events. I searched my phone and sent Huening's contact information, and it was Taehyun who immediately called. Shortly after the dial tone, a voice called out, "Hello."
"You're sending Suin without consulting me? Are you crazy?"
...Taehyun was angry. He was clearly pissed because he was sitting cross-legged, frowning, and arguing with Huening the moment he picked up the phone.
["I'm sorry. I know you're all surprised, but this is my request, really."]
"Hyung, I'm Yeoju's boyfriend. We're going to be living together soon."
["What? You two are living together?"]
"Ha... Even if you're close with Yeoju Noona, it's like that. How can you send a man to a woman who lives alone, hyung?"
["I had no choice - Hey, change the heroine"]
At those words, Taehyun muttered a curse and handed me the phone. "Hello..." I answered the phone, trying to keep an eye on him, but he suddenly started yelling, and my eardrums almost burst.
["Hey, you crazy bastard, what if we live together!.."]
"Huh?.. Why?"
["The Fed is going to be a total idiot. Oh no... wow..."]
"Hey, of course I don't know that I'm a human!"
"This won't work. I'm going to Korea tomorrow. Talk to me."
Thump-
Oh, this kid! I cursed the still-unscrupulous Huening inwardly. Then I ran into Taehyun, who was seriously contemplating his decision with his arms crossed. It didn't seem like he was thinking positively, so I should figure it out on my own.
"let's go"
"Huh? Where?"
"Sister's house"
..for a moment my head started to spin.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz-
I keyed in the door lock password, keeping an eye on Taehyun, who hadn't said a word on his way in. Of course, I could hear him running towards me, his voice clattering inside the house, but why was that welcome sound so terrifying today?
Bam-
"Butler!! You came early.."
...What? Yeonjun's expression hardened in an instant, becoming wary. He sniffed a few times, then frowned deeply and glared at Taehyun.
"Butler, I told you I don't like this smell."
