The Vet Of A Bachelor

🐱 Chapter Seven 🐶

You know those moments where you're just so focused on how cute or attention stealing something that the world could be coming to an end and you would let it because you just don't want to look away. Well that's your current situation, these Fox pups are terrorizing your living room and all you can do is coo to yourself as Gou and Ayami try to catch them.

"Ayami lead them this way!"

You blinked as Gou ran into the room with a . "Will do." Ayami said looking back at her brother who was holding the net with a determined look in his eye. "Oh you two need to stop." You laughed from your spot near the door. "We need to stop? Do you not see your living room?" Ayami asked tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. "Yes but that doesn't mean you have to terrorize them, in the five minutes you've been trying to catch them I haven't seen you, not even once, try to offer them food." You said walking around the living room towards your kitchen. "It doesn't take a genius to know that foxes are relatives to dogs, meaning they will love the smell of meat just as much." You said flicking on the light to your and walking to your fridge. You opened the door and pulled out a packet of ham. "Now get in here and give them some ham, and make sure the cats don't go near them while they're eating, it might make adjusting to their new home harder for them if they're being watched while they're eating." You said holding out two slices of ham to the two just as the doorbell was heard from the living room.

Your shoulders slumped as Gou and Ayami were out of sight. The stress of the day was weighing in on you and all you wanted to do was curl up on the couch with a glass of wine. No, you are in no way an alcoholic, you just enjoy a glass after a stressful day at work. Sadly for you those days seem to be popping up more and more lately. You felt guilty about being late for your surgery, even more so for they cat who had to suffer with a bone in its throat for a week.

You walked over to your wine cabinet and pulled out a bottle along with a wine glass. "Why is everything so stressful now?" You mumbled as you used your corkscrew to open the bottle. "It's because you need a partner." You turned around to see Gou holding one of the foxes. "You finally caught one I see." You laughed setting down your bottle. "It's gotta be hard being the 'number one animal surgeon in Korea' all the time." He said sadly. "It's easy to see the stress is getting to you lately, you're drinking more, you're more forgetful of your appointments and that 'I have everything under control' mask you're trying to put up is fooling no one." He said walking over and handing you your pup. "Ayano put the other one in it's cage already, I just wanted to tell you that Senji is here to give us a ride home." He said taking the bottle off the counter. "You really shouldn't drink this stuff, just rest in the living room with your cats and try to relax for the rest of the night. It'll do you some good." He said offering you a smile as he poured the bottle into the sink. "You're right you know, I guess I might need some help with running my hospitals." You nodded, not really caring that he just dumped your bottle out and walked him to the front door.

"Of course I'm right." Gou said handing you the now empty bottle. "Try to relax Miss (Name), it helps no one when you stress yourself out, especially not the animals you're trying to save." He said grabbing his book bag off the coat rack and walking towards the front gate. "Will do Doctor Gou." You joked as you closed the door. You sighed, leaning against the door as a sudden wave of fatigue washed over you.

As much as your pride hates to admit it, he was right. You might just need a partner to share your chain of hospitals with, but you could worry about that in the morning. Right now you were going to run a bath, and relax in your bed with some movies. Maybe you'll schedule a couple hours at the spa tomorrow, it is your day off after all.

You were pulled out of your thoughts as something rubbed against your leg. Looking down you saw Lord Tubbington sitting there rubbing against your legs, affectionately purring as he did so. "Well hello there Lord Tubbington." You cooed as you walked over to where the cage with the other fox was. "I'll go out tomorrow and buy you two some beds." You said as you pushed the fox in with the other and closed the crate.

You smiled as you felt Lord Tubbington rub against you again and leaned down to pick him up. "I suppose this means you forgive me for tripping over you this morning? In my defence I've been pretty stressed lately." You said as you rubbed under his chin. You got nothing but purring as a response and took that as his forgiveness. "How about I pull out the Whiskas for dinner tonight for you and the other cats huh?" You cooed as you walked back to the kitchen to get Lord Tubbington's preferred brand. Unlatching the door you opened the pantry door just as your other three cats came. You grabbed the bag of cat food and laughed as they all began meowing. "What? Could it be that you all want..." You held up the Whiskas bag. "Some Whiskas?" You asked, laughing as they began meowing louder. You walked over to where the cat bowls were sitting and poured them their dinner.

Watching the cats run to their bowls made you laugh until you realized you had no more Whiskas. 'I'll just buy more tomorrow.' you thought to yourself as you tossed the bag into the trash bin and walked upstairs to run your bath. Walking into the bathroom you plugged up the bathtub and opened your cabinet to pick out your bath salts. You pulled out a (Color) bath salt and sprinkled it across the water before walking to your room to pick out some clothes to change into. Opening your drawers you pulled out a of comfy clothes to change into after your bath and then made your way back to your bathroom to turn off the water. You set aside the clothes and a towel, placing a hand in the water as to check the temperature. You flicked the water off your hand and began to undress, your body just itching to be in the warm water.

Sadly for you right as you dipped your toes into the water your home phone went off.

You cursed under your breath, shaking your foot to get the water off, and grabbing your bathrobe that was hanging on a hook to your right. 'All I wanted was to rest in a bath' you thought bitterly as you tied the robe closed. 'Was that really too much to ask?!' You walked out of the bathroom and to the hallway to pick up the upstairs phone.

Looking down at the unknown number you hesitated a bit before pressing the speaker button and leaning on the table. "Hello?" You asked tucking a lock of hair behind your ear. "Yes, is this Doctor (Name)?" A male voice asked from the other line. "Yes it is, may I ask who's calling?" You asked looking down at the phone.

"This is Jihyun Kim, you may call me V if you like, I'm an friend of Jumin Han."
