It Barks Love (1)
Woogyu. PG. Fluff.
In which Woohyun is a stalker and he buys a puppy instead.
Let's see. Name: Nam Woohyun. Today's agenda? Stalking. Attending lectures. Stalking, again.
Woohyun closed his notebook and heaved a sigh. He was starting to look like a creeper even by himself. His friends made fun of him occasionally, but he only laughed it off, because as much as he hated it, they were true.
He looked up from his book to read the sign of a shop across the street. He really wanted to just cross the street and enter the shop like a man, but he, of course, was too much of a coward. So he opted to stalk instead. Like a man. The object of his stalking suddenly came to view, making him duck behind the sea of people. It was a stupid thing to do anyway, but he just wanted to make sure he was hidden.
And then he was gone, and Woohyun cursed his luck for having a lecture in 15 minutes.

`I bet you 10,000 won you're not gonna approach him within 3 days!`
10,000 won was a lot of money for him who was living alone and depended only on his parents' money of 200,000 won per month. He was not going to let that go. Beside, he wanted to humiliate Sungyeol, too.
But he was truly honest about his purpose into approaching his object of stalking.
So he found himself in front of the pet shop, hand in midair, questioning himself. Can he really? Yes. Like a man. He huffed and pushed the door open, the sound of a bell greeting him.
The store was quieter than he thought. He looked around, searching for (what Sungyeol had came to call) `the light of his bleak life`. He passed by the cashier to see the boy, squatting behind it doing something only God knows what. He cleared his throat and was glad that he had caught his attention.
”Hi,” he greeted, eyes and mouth equally smiling. ”Can I help you?”
To say that Woohyun was blinded by his smile would be an understatement. He gaped-for a while; don't wanna embarrass himself-before blinking. ”Um, yeah, actually...”
The boy tilted his head, ready to assist Woohyun when the latter remembered something. He didn't come here to buy anything. He only wanted to talk to this guy. But then his eyes caught something and his mind let out a manly squeal.
”I want that one,” he said, pointing to a puppy near the door. The other raised his eyebrow and beamed.
“A goldie,” he said, eyes twinkling with happiness. Woohyun noted how cute the other sound. And how adorable he was for calling the golden retriever pup `goldie`. He watched as the guy lifted the little bundle of fluff and whispered to it, probably to inform it that it was going to have a proper home. Woohyun tried to hold back a dreamy sigh.
“Here he is.” The guy handed him the pup, to which Woohyun took it eagerly. He did what any other normal people would do; stroke its head. That was when he came up with a brilliant idea. “I’m actually new to this having a pet thing. Can you teach me?” This wasn’t really a lie. Good job, Woohyun.
The guy blinked a few times, either hesitant or still processing up, Woohyun didn’t know. He was relieved when the smile came back. “Sure! I’m free tomorrow, anyway. How’s that sound?”
Tomorrow? Woohyun froze; hand in an awkward position just above the pup’s eye. Let’s see here. Well, he has a lecture the next day, but it’s a morning class. Then he had to accompany Sungjong to buy a gift for his mother (seriously, why him?) and treat him for an ice cream. Maybe after those obstacles.
“That sounds good.” His hand went back to stroking the pup’s head. “How about 4 PM?”
The other boy nodded, reciting an `okay` and headed back to his station. Woohyun lifted the pup so it was at the same eye-level as him and shot it an almost pleading look. “If you want to bark, do it now. But not when we’re in my place.”
It let out a gleeful bark. Woohyun felt accomplished somehow.
“So, I’m Kim Sunggyu.” The figure behind the cash register held out his hand, inviting Woohyun for a handshake. Woohyun stared at him. I know; majoring in medical, wants to be a vet, has an older sister, the best singer in the world, cute and gorgeous-
“Nam Woohyun.” He reached for Sunggyu’s hand and they shook hands briefly. Long story short, he gave Sunggyu his address and, of course, had bought the puppy and all the necessities (which he didn’t really know what those are for, but Sunggyu’s there to help, right?). He was sure his parents would be as confuse as his friends would be when they see his bill.
“So, should I name you now?” Woohyun asked the pup as they walked down the street to where his apartment building stood. He didn’t trust his own skill on taming a dog so he carried it instead. He didn’t want to risk losing it in the crowd. The puppy didn’t seem to pay attention to its new owner. It barked to a lot of people, though.
“Remember what I told you?” He lifted the puppy to his eye-level again, the front entrance of the apartment clearly visible. “No barking inside the apartment or they’ll know I’m keeping a dog, understand?”
It barked again. Woohyun practically facepalmed himself.
