PITBABE (ENGLISH VER)

CHAPTER 8 (PART 2/2)

*****

Jeff's words rang in his head. It played over and over again until he was almost past the train station. If it weren't for him waking up at the last second before the door closing signal sounded, he might've ended up at the next station.

His tall figure walked out of the station with a less than enthusiastic expression. He kept wondering if there was an easier or less risky way, because even though he told Jeff he'd made up his mind, he was still worried. The price to be paid that Jeff spoke of was certainly not a small amount, and was definitely higher than the price of the car Babe had lent him.

He was very tired after thinking about it.

Did he really do something like that?

The young alpha dragged his feet as if he had run several kilometers, even though the journey from the station to Babe's condo wasn't that far. It was almost six in the afternoon. He thought Babe might have called a restaurant to order something to eat like he said before going out. So, when he went up to his room, he would look for something to eat for himself. Now he didn't want to think about anything, even the dinner menu was too difficult.

The wind blowing on his skin was cooler than usual, and the wind had been blowing stronger every day until it was clearly visible. The fallen leaves on the ground blew in the same direction, while the leaves on the trees fell from the strong wind. Just a few seconds later, large raindrops fell with a loud sound, making Charlie, who was previously walking lazily, immediately shake his legs and run for shelter from the rain.

Luckily, the place he was going to wasn't far from the bus stop, so Charlie used a narrow roof to shelter from the rain before he became a real puppy who fell into the water. The tall man looked at the falling rain and sighed in distress. There was only one more intersection until he reached the condo. He couldn't just keep quiet. His heart wanted to rush back to his room as quickly as possible, but looking at the rain that was falling at the moment, he would probably get soaked after taking just two steps. As the most easily sick alpha on the planet, he wouldn't survive the flu, and that was what he was afraid of because right now was a time when he couldn't afford to get sick at all.

If one person is injured and another person has a fever....

There would definitely be chaos.

The young alpha stood impatiently waiting for the rain to stop without realizing he was slowly shaking his legs. It probably stemmed from his desire for the rain to stop soon, but of course standing there shaking his legs wasn't going to help. Maybe if he dared to break through the rain, that would be a better choice. If he went back and washed his hair quickly, it would probably be fine.

As soon as he thought about it, he decided to himself that once the crossing signal changed, he would immediately run through the rain and cross the street. He could only hope that the road ahead had a roof for him to walk under to escape the rain, or else he might have to get soaked. What could he do? He really couldn't wait any longer, because he'd already left Babe alone for too long today.

In just a few minutes, the lights at the zebra crossing would change to signal him to cross the road. Charlie got ready to take his bag and hugged it in front of him, ready to run. The convoy of cars, both large and small, sped by in a hurry when the red light came back on.

As soon as a large truck passed in front, the Zebra cross opened and was ready for everyone to cross. Charlie's eyes suddenly fell on someone standing across the street with an umbrella in his hand and a face that expressed discomfort. But for some reason, he smiled as soon as he saw him.

Babe, in a clear raincoat, stood in front of him holding an umbrella. He looked straight at him with an expression that said, 'You're such a mess, you stupid face!'
