Mischief Managed (Stray Kids Oneshots)

Puppy Playdate | Kim Seungmin

The sun shone brightly in the sky, casting a warm glow over the park. It was the perfect day for an adventure, and you were just settling into your routine when your phone buzzed with an incoming message from Seungmin.

Meet me at the park in 15 minutes! Bring some treats! 🐶

Your heart raced with excitement. What was he up to? You quickly grabbed a bag of dog treats you had stashed away, a remnant from a previous pet-sitting gig, and made your way to the park. As you arrived, you spotted Seungmin pacing eagerly by a small fenced area.

"Hey! Over here!" he called, waving you over with a bright smile that was contagious.

You approached him, slightly confused. "What's going on? Why the rush?"

"Surprise!" he exclaimed, stepping aside to reveal a small group of fluffy puppies running around in the play area. "I thought we could have a puppy playdate today!"

Your eyes widened in delight as you watched the energetic pups tumble over each other, their tails wagging furiously. "Oh my gosh, they're adorable!" you said, already making your way toward the fence.

Seungmin followed closely behind, his excitement mirroring yours. "I knew you'd love it! Look at them!" He pointed to a tiny golden retriever puppy trying to climb over a larger beagle. The beagle, clearly not amused, let out a small yip, causing the golden to tumble back into a pile of soft fur.

You both laughed, your hearts warming at the sight. "I can't believe you arranged this. How did you find so many puppies?"

"I have my sources," he replied with a wink, opening the gate. "Now, let's get in there!"

Once inside the play area, you both knelt down to let the puppies come to you. Instantly, you were bombarded by wagging tails and curious noses, each puppy vying for attention. You reached out to pet a fluffy corgi, and it promptly flopped over, demanding belly rubs.

"Look at them go!" Seungmin said, watching a Labrador puppy chase its tail in a dizzying circle. "They're like little tornadoes!"

The next hour was a whirlwind of playful chaos. Seungmin tossed a ball, and the puppies raced after it, barking happily. You and he took turns throwing the ball, cheering them on as they tumbled and played.

"Hey, watch this!" Seungmin called, holding up a squeaky toy. As soon as the puppies heard the squeak, they all perked up and came running, their eyes wide with excitement.

You couldn't help but giggle at the sight, and in that moment, you caught Seungmin's eye. "This is the best day ever," you said, feeling warmth spread through your chest.

"Right?" he replied, grinning from ear to ear. "It's even better with you here."

As the playdate continued, you found yourself sprawled on the grass, surrounded by a pile of sleepy puppies. Seungmin lay beside you, a few paws resting on his lap. "I think they're all worn out," he chuckled, gently scratching the head of a sleepy pug curled up on his leg.

"Puppy cuddles are the best," you said, nuzzling your face into the fur of a golden retriever that had found its way into your arms. "Thank you for this."

"I just wanted to see you smile," he said softly, glancing at you with that endearing look you had come to cherish.

Just then, a particularly rambunctious pup bounded over, eager to join the cuddle pile, and soon enough, the playful chaos erupted once again. Seungmin grabbed a nearby tennis ball and threw it across the park, prompting the puppies to spring back into action.

"Seungmin, wait!" you laughed, but it was too late. The puppies were already chasing after the ball, their barks filling the air with excitement.

As the sun began to dip low in the sky, casting a golden hue over the park, you both gathered the puppies for one last round of snuggles. You lay back on the grass, the soft warmth of the puppies providing comfort as you and Seungmin shared stories about your favorite animals, laughing at the silly antics of the playful pups.

"This was such a great idea," you said, leaning your head on Seungmin's shoulder, feeling completely content.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it," he replied, gently nudging you with his shoulder. "We should do this more often."

You nodded, your heart swelling with warmth. "Definitely. Next time, I want to bring even more treats!"

Seungmin chuckled, his eyes sparkling with joy. "It's a date then! Puppy playdates every week!"

As you both settled into a comfortable silence, surrounded by a soft chorus of puppy snores, you couldn't help but feel grateful for moments like these. It was a day filled with laughter, warmth, and the pure joy of being surrounded by puppies—and each other.
