The boy's family left soon after. Judging by the kid's tear-streaked face, he was probably scared out of his wits. His father paid all the fees up front as a way of apology. Jungkook didn't stop him; from his perspective, the family had gotten off extremely easily.

Lisa and Jungkook were the only ones left waiting by the surgery room.

"Why aren't you going back?"

Lisa sat down on a chair. "I'm waiting for it to come out."

Her voice was incredibly raspy. Jungkook gazed at her for a few seconds. He had never comforted anyone before, nor had he ever believed in the gesture. But the sight of Lisa's pitiful state miraculously made him think otherwise.

Jungkook thought for a moment, then reached out to pat Lisa's head gently. "This wasn't your fault. You don't have to be like this."

Lisa tilted her head upwards to look at him. Because she was focusing purely on Gureum, she had completely overlooked Jungkook's rather intimate gesture. "I'm worried about Gureum."

Jungkook fell silent. He had always spoiled Gureum, and it was the first time it had come to the vet's in such a serious condition. When he heard about Gureum's incident, his heart throbbed like never before; however, he calmed down like usual. What went on in his mind never showed on his face. "It should be fine. Lisa, don't worry."

A few minutes later, the doors of the surgery room swung open. Jungkook and Lisa stood up at the same time and walked over with Love hot on their heels.

"How is it?" Lisa asked hurriedly.

"It's not a big deal. Though the wound is long, it's not very deep. I've already given it stitches, so it should be fine with a good amount of rest." The doctor stated.

Lisa and Jungkook both heaved a sigh of relief.

"Miss, please don't worry. Look at all the blood on your clothes– you should hurry home and change, eh? Is this your boyfriend? Just have him stay here." The vet was a fifty year old man, so he didn't seem to recognize Jungkook.

Lisa shook her head, "He's the owner of the dog, not me..."

"Oh, young man, your girlfriend is quite kind to have such concern for your dog. You have no idea how frightening it was to see her small frame carrying such a large dog."

Jungkook glanced at her and could immediately imagine the scene. No wonder there was so much blood on her back and shoulders.

Lisa laughed dryly and didn't want to explain to the vet. She peered inside the room, "Can I take a look inside?"

"Sure, but I've administered some anesthesia. It should be asleep by now."

Lisa nodded and walked in. She stood by Gureum's side and saw that a patch of its beautiful white fur was shaved off for stitches. A feeling of sorrow welled up inside of her. Now, an ugly scar was going to ruin Gureum's beautiful fur.

She unconsciously glanced at Jungkook. His brows were furrowed, and the hurt was clear in his eyes. Jungkook obviously adored Gureum, and the sight of its injury must've carved itself deeply in his heart.

"We shaved off a bit of its fur while stitching the wound, but don't worry. The scar won't be noticeable at all when it heals, and the Samoyed's thick fur will completely cover it when it grows back. It'll be practically invisible." The vet quickly explained when he saw Lisa's expression.

"Doctor, what else do we need to look out for?" Jungkook asked.

"Just don't have it move much in the next few days. As for food, don't feed it anything that's hard to digest. Bring it back later to disinfect the wound and apply new bandages."
