puppy eyes › 2jae

[ five ]

It had been around a week since Youngjae moved in, and everything went pretty smoothly after the first few days.

The two got into a routine, Jaebum leaving for classes when he had to, leaving Youngjae by himself. The hybrid knew what he was doing though, Jaebum managed to show him how to use everything, and showed him where things were.

Youngjae noticed that Jaebum was one of those people who seemed to get stressed easily, so he tried his absolute best to pick up everything at once. He did manage to get everything through his head fairly quickly, making Jaebum feel like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

Today however, Youngjae was patiently waiting for Jaebum to come home like usual, but Jaebum wasn't back yet.

Now on a Thursday, Jaebum's usually back by 4pm, but it was already 5:30pm and there was no sign of him. Youngjae, being practically half, or a quarter dog, could sniff him out if he wanted to. But Jaebum said he was put under strict orders by Jinyoung, not to let Youngjae go anywhere outside without Jaebum himself.

And it was a pretty smart order too. The skies were getting darker, painted with indigo and deep blue hues, washing over the originally bright colours of the sunset. And if Youngjae wasn't so worried about Jaebum, he would've sat himself in front of a window and watched as the first few stars of the night appeared.

Said boy was already far too distracted by the grumbling ache of his stomach, not just because of hunger, but of worry.

The two didn't have the closest relationship, as of now. Jaebum would just do what he needed to do, and if he ever had done anything extra, Youngjae wasn't awake to experience it. But it worked.

And now in this situation, Youngjae really wishes he had a phone. He remembers Jinyoung promising to get him one, but his hyung went away and that promise was left hanging.

A worried glance at the clock, and it read 5:39pm.

Youngjae's heartbeat quickened.

He was sure nothing could happen to Jaebum, but that slight possibility of something actually happening to him was there and it made him scared.

It's not like Jaebum went out with his friends anywhere either, and if he did, he would've called the landline and let Youngjae know.

It only happened twice so far, but afterwards the puppy boy was treated with boxes and boxes of his favourite pizza.

A sigh escaped Youngjae's lips as a growl emitted from his belly. He pouted, rubbing it softly before plopping himself down right in front of the front door.

He sat directly in front of it, staring the wooden panels down until he thought they might burn under his intense gaze.

And then the thought came to mind.

Isn't this what actual dogs do for their owners? I never even did this for Jinyoung hyung...

Oh, well maybe it's because he never left me alone like this for so long.

...Yep. That's probably it.

The puppy boy sat in silence, softly gnawing at his bottom lip, turning the skin redder than ever while he impatiently tapped the floor with his fingers.

It was like that for a while before a certain sound in the distance made his soft, chocolate brown ears perk up.

And the look on his face was absolutely priceless when he heard he familiar twist of the lock, and watched as the door was pushed open. The force was more aggressive than he'd ever seen Jaebum use before, and immediately he was greeted with a panting, red faced Jaebum with his hands on his knees.
