Puppy Love

3

The following afternoon, Jungkook was too worried about the little puppy to attend his college classes.

Sam was laying on his brand new fluffy bed (that was ten times bigger than him), chewing on his favorite squeaky toy (a red crab), and growling happily as he nommed it.

He seemed fine and was eating well, but Jungkook couldn't shake the feeling something was wrong.

The lone ID in the alley kept drawing Jungkook's thoughts in.

The alley was dirty; full of dirt, trash and other debris that stained whatever stayed in it for long. But the ID was clean. A little wet from the rain, but overall not dirty.

It couldn't have been in the alley for long, was it really connected to Sam?

He had gone to Namjoon's house again this morning, but the house looked the same as it did yesterday. Dark, windows shut, door locked and nobody home.

Sam had barked and pawed at the door again, desperate to get in and it confirmed Jungkook's suspicions that Sam knew Namjoon.

Namjoon had to be the pups owner then, right? So where the hell was he? And how did his ID end up in the alley with the puppy?

Sam growled again, shaking the crab toy in his mouth. His tail was perpetually wagging as he leaped around in his giant bed.

"Hey buddy," Jungkook slid off the couch, sitting down beside the playing puppy. "How's your owies?"

"Arf!" Sam barked, abandoning the toy in favor of trotting over to the boy and climbing on his lap.

Jungkook chuckled, carefully picking up the small bandaged up white bundle of fur to hold him close. "Should we go see Yoongi again, hm? Doctor Min...mmm..." He trailed off as he thought about the handsome veterinarian.

His beautiful pale skin, smooth and blemish free. His dark, shiny hair. His cat like eyes. His small, pouty mouth. His deep voice. His kindness, his demeanor, the way he looked so professional in his scrubs-

"Arf!" Sam snapped the boy out of his thoughts.

"I agree." Jungkook scrambled to his feet, racing to grab his car keys. "Let's go!"

-

"Do you have an appointment?" The receptionist asked and Jungkook paused.

Shit.

He looked around the waiting room, where a few people and their pets were waiting to see the doctors.

He turned back to her. "Uh, no, but uh, Doctor Min said I should come back for check ups on Sam."

He held up the tiny puppy, hoping the cuteness would melt her defenses.

Sam barked, high pitched, his tail wagging fiercely. "A-arf!" He cocked his head, one ear flopping down while the other poked right up.

She smiled softly. "Well...I'll see if he has any openings today."

"Thank you." Jungkook was grateful.

"Wait," she said as Jungkook turned to find a place to sit, holding out a small dog treat in her hand from the little jar that held a variety of them. "For your dog."

Sam barked happily, wiggling in Jungkook's hands as the boy accepted it.

"Thanks!"

He took a seat by a man with a large Labrador, offering Sam the treat. The tiny puppy wasted no time pouncing on it.

The lab smelled the treat too, turning around to bite at Jungkook's hand.

"Arf!" Sam barked, squirming as the much larger dogs nose got in his face. The lab grabbed one end of the bone shaped treat and lifted his head up.
