If he's being honest, Jin never intended on becoming the neighbourhood's cat lady at the age of thirty, it just happened.
(According to his friend it's because he never learnt how to deal with crushes very well which, that's so not fucking true so shut your mouth karen.)
When he was growing up, Jin's brother Jungkook always wanted a dog, one of those big breeds like a german shepherd or a Doberman, something like that. Of course, living in a tiny two bedroom apartment in the middle of the city did not make that the most feasible idea, especially when purebreds like those usually went for a couple hundred dollars.
So instead their mom got him a goldfish on his ninth birthday which he hated and Jin ended up as the one taking care of it until it mysteriously disappeared five months later.
(Jungkook claims that he didn't have anything to do with it but knowing his brother, he probably flushed it down the toilet in the middle of the night.)
Jin never really considered himself a pet guy until about a year and a half ago when he moved back to the city on his own. All his life he's had his brother or a roommate of some sort but now he's on his own and after a couple of months he realised that he was, well, lonely.
So he decided to invest some time into looking at the pros and cons of adopting a pet and researching various shelters in his area.
It took him about three months during which he compiled an honest to god binder full of information of various mixed breeds, the best shelters, pet care stores and vets, but he finally did it.
As far as names go, Little Hairy One's is-- questionable at best.
When he first saw the name pop up on Facebook he thought it was another one of those weird kink groups, but the profile picture was a puppy and after a minute of hesitation, he clicked the link and was pleasantly surprised to find out that not only was it a shelter, but it was a no kill organisation that adopted animals that were to be put down.
So that was right up his alley.
He jots it down in his planner to head over on the weekend, so he makes sure to wake up bright and early Saturday morning to do just that.
The bell above the door jingles when Jin pushes it open and he steps inside. The front of the store is pretty cute, with your standard pet items and kitschy pet related decor, like the dachshund shaped plant holder and the classic cat themed grandfather clock that hangs behind the counter. There's a door next to the counter, a silhouette of a dog and cat pasted onto the pane of frosted glass and the sign hanging above it says you have to be accompanied by an employee beyond this limit.
No one is there at the front so Jin takes his time to go through the pet supplies instead. He hasn't bought much, just a food bowl and a bed, but the brightly coloured toys catch his attention.
He's looking at a toy rat that claims to have catnip in it when someone clears their throat behind him and he jumps.
"Hi, can I help you?"
