Mischief Managed (Stray Kids Oneshots)

A Surprise Visit | Kim Seungmin

The sun was setting, casting a warm glow over your cozy apartment. You had just settled down with a cup of tea and your favorite blanket, ready to unwind after a long day. Just as you were about to lose yourself in a book, a series of playful barks broke through the quiet of your living room.

Confused, you glanced around, trying to pinpoint the source of the noise. It was then that you heard the sound of a small thud, followed by a soft whimper. You got up, cautiously moving towards the door, your curiosity piqued.

As you opened the door, your heart nearly melted at the sight before you. Standing there, looking somewhat disheveled but undeniably adorable, was Seungmin. His usual neat hairstyle was slightly tousled, and his cheeks were flushed, but what truly caught your attention was the small pack of puppies surrounding him, wagging their tails and barking excitedly.

"Seungmin!" you exclaimed, hardly believing your eyes. "What happened? Where did all these puppies come from?"

He grinned sheepishly, a hint of embarrassment creeping onto his face. "Uh, well... It's kind of a funny story."

You stepped aside, allowing him to enter, and the puppies tumbled in after him, each one more adorable than the last. There were tiny golden retrievers, a fluffy Shih Tzu, and even a little Dachshund, their tails wagging furiously as they explored their new surroundings.

"I was at the shelter to volunteer," he began, his voice warm and animated as he crouched down to pet the nearest puppy, a chubby little golden retriever. "And they just had so many dogs needing a home. I couldn't resist."

"So you brought them all here?" you asked, half-amused and half-worried about the chaos that might ensue.

"Not all of them," he replied, looking a bit sheepish. "Just a few. I thought it would be nice to have some company tonight."

You couldn't help but laugh. "Nice company? You brought a whole litter!"

Seungmin shrugged, a playful glint in his eyes. "Can you blame me? Look at them! They're adorable!" He picked up the little golden retriever, cradling it in his arms as it wagged its tail furiously, trying to lick his face.

"Okay, okay, you've made your point," you said, kneeling down to join him. The puppies bounded toward you, their little paws pattering against the floor as they climbed all over you, nuzzling and licking your hands. "They're so cute!"

For the next few minutes, laughter filled the room as you both played with the puppies. They tumbled over each other, playfully nipping at your fingers and wagging their tails in excitement. Seungmin looked incredibly happy, his eyes shining with joy as he watched you interact with the tiny furballs.

"Do you think we can keep them?" he asked, a hopeful grin stretching across his face.

"Keep them?" you echoed, glancing around at the chaos. "We can't just keep a bunch of puppies! They need homes!"

"Okay, but we can foster them for the night, right?" he suggested, his tone persuasive. "I mean, look at their little faces! They deserve some love."

You sighed, knowing he had a point. They were irresistibly cute, and you could hardly imagine saying no to Seungmin when he looked at you like that. "Fine! We can foster them for the night. But you're responsible for all the puppy-proofing. I don't want them chewing on my shoes."

He nodded eagerly, his smile brightening. "Deal! I'll take care of everything. Just look how happy they are!"

As the evening went on, you and Seungmin worked together to set up a cozy little area for the puppies. You arranged blankets, toys, and water bowls while he kept the little furballs entertained.

With each passing moment, you found yourself growing more attached to the little pups. Their playful antics and endless energy brought a lightness to the room, and you couldn't help but smile as Seungmin played the role of their doting caretaker, his laughter ringing through the air.

After a while, as the puppies finally settled down for a nap, you flopped onto the couch, utterly exhausted yet content. Seungmin joined you, stretching out beside you with a sigh of relief.

"Who knew taking care of puppies would be so tiring?" he mused, a satisfied grin on his face.

"Right? They're like little bundles of chaos," you replied, glancing down at the sleeping pups curled up at your feet.

Seungmin looked over at you, a warm glimmer in his eyes. "But it's totally worth it. I love seeing you happy."

You felt your cheeks warm at his words. "You really know how to make a girl feel special, don't you?"

He chuckled, nudging you playfully. "I try. But really, it's nice to have a break from the craziness of the world. Just us and these little ones."

You nodded, feeling a sense of calm wash over you. "Yeah, it is nice."

After a moment of comfortable silence, you glanced over at him, feeling a sudden burst of affection. "Thanks for bringing them, Seungmin. I didn't realize I needed this today."

He smiled, his expression softening. "Anytime. I just wanted to see you smile."

The puppies stirred slightly, and Seungmin leaned down to scratch the head of the nearest one. "You think we should come up with names for them?"

"Definitely," you replied, sitting up straighter. "What do you have in mind?"

As the two of you brainstormed names for the puppies, laughter filled the room once more. The warmth of the evening, combined with the joyful chaos of the puppies and Seungmin's presence, created a perfect moment.

You couldn't help but think that this spontaneous evening was just what you needed—and maybe, just maybe, it was the start of something special between you and Seungmin.
