Chapter Text
Once there was a puppy left in a box. He was dirty, hungry and alone. His name, he doesn’t have a name at this time yet. Let’s cut to the part where he met his Juhoonie
Back then, a beautiful human with a beautiful smile and a beautiful face and beautiful voice, but doesn’t live in a beautiful house took him home one rainy night and filled his belly with milk. That human is Juhoonie. The puppy was so enamored with this human; he was wagging his tail, jumping with his little feet and his eyes shooting invisible hearts when Juhoonie fed him milk. It tasted sour to be honest, must be expired even, but its fine. It’s the thought that counts. As long as he gets belly rubs and see Juhoonie’s sweet smile.
The puppy realized the morning after that the sour milk made his tummy ache. He rolled to the mat and wailed. When Juhoonie noticed him, he tried to hold his wailing and braved himself. He can’t act like a crybaby in front of his Juhoonie. When Juhoonie rubbed his belly and gave him head pats, he relaxed, but something urgent came up. He felt his stomachache turning into a call of nature. Oh no! He can’t poop inside Juhoonie’s house. He can’t let the disgusting smell to permeate in the air and ruin his Juhoonie’s clean scent.
The puppy decided to run outside. He hid behind the bushes and dig the soil on the neighbor’s backyard to relieve his tummy ache. Ain't no way he is dirtying Juhoonie's backyard. While he was in the process of covering the evidence, a scary woman’s voice shouted curses at him. The curses were creative, props to her. But why is the scary woman so close-minded? It’s not like he is planting a bomb. He is literally giving her a free fertilizer and this is the response he gets?
Some good deeds really aren’t appreciated enough.
It’s at that time he realized that all humans aren’t the same.
Another important event that had happen in his life was when Juhoonie named him. The puppy won’t forget that day. Till this date, that moment haunts him. Imagine being called “Milky”.
What the hell even is “Milky”? It sounded so lame, It doesn’t suit his handsome demeanor at all!
He protested and turned his back at his Juhoonie. Don’t get him wrong, he likes this human so much but his naming skills isn’t the best.
He heard the human laugh at his reaction after that.
“I see, you don’t like to be called Milky. How about Marshmallow?”
The puppy growled. That sounded even worse. The human tried to suggest another name
“Alright, let’s settle with Twinkle”
The puppy bared his little fangs at him. Juhoonie is toying with his feelings at this point. It has to be, that’s the only reason. He can’t be this bad at giving names.
Juhoonie giggled. He drops a kiss to his little forehead and rubbed his chin.
“I’m just kidding. How about Keonho? Would you like to be called Keonho. It’s a handsome name for my handsome boy”
His ears perked up and the anger bubbling inside the puppy’s little heart melted. He barked and wagged his tail.
Yeah, he likes it, he likes the name Keonho
After naming him Keonho the puppy, Juhoonie played with him for a little bit before leaving him to prepare dinner. After feeding him, he wiped him clean and cuddled him to sleep. Every time Juhoonie moves in his sleep, Keonho the puppy follows and settles his head in his Juhoonie’s chest. Why? Nothing serious, he just likes to feel him breathing.
However, he encountered this little problem. He didn’t know that Juhoonie could be so mean in his sleep. His hand almost injured Keonho puppy’s little feet. The puppy yelped from the pain but he didn’t dare bite Juhoonie. And it didn’t happen once, those incidents happened again and again and by dawn, when he settles at Juhoonie’s chest for the nth time that night, he was nursing a hurting foot. But it’s fine, it’s not like puppy cast ain't a thing. He could tolerate this for his Juhoonie.
Despite the bruises, Keonho puppy was really happy. This human gave him a home and until then, Keonho puppy isn’t alone and hungry anymore.
There is one thing he noticed at this house though, Juhoonie is the only person living in it. Unlike other houses, people have what they call a mommy and a daddy. How come he did not see a Mama Kim and a Papa Kim in this house? And even the morning after that, and the next, and the next. The puppy scrunched his round face and taps his little feet in contemplation.
Did Juhoonie appeared in a box too?
Is he like Keonho puppy?
