The Vet Of A Bachelor

🐱 Chapter Thirteen 🐶

For those who want a little more adventure in their lives I would recommend horseback riding. There are tons of reasons to love horseback riding. There are several different types of competitive disciplines to train in. The arts of Dressage, Show Jumping, Cross-Country, Eventing, Rodeo and Barrel Racing. With all of the possibilities I admit I have never and will never enter my horses in competitions. The stress of it all would be too much for Lani and Morgan seeing as they're both rescues.

Stopping at the foot of a I looked around at the green scenery. It was familiar and yet something seemed out of place here. "Excuse me?" Or someone. Looking around a spotted a young walking up to me, and judging by the confused look on his face he seemed lost. "Hello." I said looking down at the blonde. "H-Hi. Uh- Can you help me? I seem to have been separated from my group." He said sheepishly and I laughed. Poor kid seems like he's afraid of nature. "Of course, what wild life group are you with?" I asked as I climbed down from Lani. "I'm not really sure, I wasn't paying attention during the explanation." He said looking down. "No problem, if you were with a group I'm sure they gave you a pamphlet." I said walking up to him. "Oh! Yes they did hand out pamphlets, and brochures too in case anyone wanted to come back." He said digging around in his back pack. "Here they are." He said pulling out both the pamphlet and the brochure. I took one and looked over the information.

Virdiana's very green landscape tours.

I know exactly where this is.

Pulling my phone out of my coat pocket I checked the time. Three fifteen. I have time. "Okay, luckily for you I know exactly where this is." I said causing the mans face to light up. "Really? Oh thank goodness!" He sighed happily. "Unluckily for you this is about an hour away by foot and I have a meeting at four thirty." I said walking over to Lani and patting her snout. "So I hope your not scared of horses." I said smiling back at the man. "I... Uh, I have no problem with that." He said looking down. "Good, do you know how to get on?" I asked. I wasn't surprise when he shook his head no. "Okay, well I probably should have introduced myself earlier but my name is (Name) and this here is Lani." I said rubbing Lani's snout. "Okay, well my name is Yoosung." He said with a small wave. He seems so awkward, polite but awkward nonetheless.

I smiled and turned to Lani again. "Well Yoosung I hope your paying attention because I'm about to demonstrate mounting a horse." I said taking hold both reins in my left hand. "Okay you take both reins in your left hand and gather them with a tuft of mane." I said looking back at Yoosung who seemed uncomfortable. "Don't worry, it doesn't hurt her, I've done this plenty of times with her and my Morgan." I said petting her with my other hand causing her to neigh in approval. "Good girl. Now take hold of the right side rein a tad tighter to help prevent her from swinging away from you as you get on." I said tightening my grip on the right rein and tugging it towards me. "Now with your right hand, turn the metal loop so that the leather lies flat when you are sitting in the saddle." I said sticking my foot in the stirrup. "Now from here you just use your upper body strength to pull you up and onto the saddle while swinging your other foot up and over Lani's back." I said as I pulled my self onto Lani. I looked down at Yoosung who nodded at me. "Alrighty then, come on up Yoosung." I said scooting further up on the saddle.

To put thing simply Yoosung was better at observing than performing mounting a horse. He has little to no upper body strength. I sighed as Yoosung one again failed to swing his leg over Lani's back. "Okay kid, it looks like you have no upper body strength so I'm gonna give you a little push." I said climbing off Lani. "Okay ready Yoosung? Take the reins." I said handing him the reins. "Now left leg in the stirrup." I said kicking his foot up. "Ready?" I asked as he stuffed his foot into the stirrup. "Okay. One." I said placing a hand on his lower back. "Two." I said taking hold of Lani's side. "Three!" I said as Yoosung pulled himself up as much as he could. I placed my hand on his thigh and pushed hum up the rest of the way.

"Wow you can wee much better from up here." Yoosung said looking around. I nodded as I scooted Yoosung back a but on the saddle. "Sadly Yoosung this is going to be a very uncomfortable ride because we share a saddle, but on the bright side we'll be there in no time so you wont have to suffer long." I said kicking Yoosungs foot out of the stirrup. "Do you mind if I get a photo before we start? I'd like to show my friends." He said holding up his phone. "Go ahead." I said stepping back. I watched as Yoosung took a few photos of the scenery and a couple of himself before smiling down at me. "Do you mind if I get a photo of us together? It is your horse I'm on." He said and laughed. "Sure, want me to get up or do you want to come down?" I asked causing Yoosung to laugh. "Please come up, I don't think I'd be able to get back up if I got off." He said with a small blush. "Alrighty, scoot back a bit?" I asked as I pulled up my pants. Yoosung did as said and I quickly mounted Lani. Yoosung leaned in and held him phone out for the photo. "Smile!" He said smiling and I smiled at the camera. I took a rein in each hand and steadied myself on the small bit of saddle I had.

"Okay Yoosung, hold on tight."

"So your a veterinary surgeon?"

I nodded as Yoosung took another photo of the passing scenery. "Wow, that has to be interesting. You know it's kind of funny that I ran into you because I'm actually majoring in veterinary science." Yoosung said and I laughed. "Really? Well Yoosung how do you feel about an intershi-" I was cut off by my phone ringing. "Holding that thought." I said taking the reins in one hand and my phone in the other. Seeing it was Shion I put the call on speaker and handed the phone to Yoosung who held it near my ear. "Yes Shion?" I asked as I lead Lani down the small path. "You are so lucky I prayed for you!" Shion said from the phone. "How do you figure?" I asked. "Jaehee Kang just called the office. Jumin Han scheduled a dinner reservation for the both of you for six O'clock tonight, he wants to go over a new contract." She said as Virdiana's came into view. "Is this a joke?" I asked tiredly. "There's no way I have the energy to see him again today, I'm staying home. Yoosung hang up." I said kicking Lani so we could go faster. "W-Wait (Name)-!" The line went dead before she could finish her sentence. "Why aren't you going to the meeting with Jumin?" Yoosung asked as I took my phone back. "I'm too tired to deal with a man in a suit right now." I said with a shrug. "You don't seem tired at all, you actually seem like you just had a full cup of coffee." He said and I laughed. This boy had a way with words.

"Thank you, so as I was saying before I was interrupted." I said stopping in front of the office. "How would you feel about a paid internship at my main hospital?" I asked as I climbed off. "What really?" Yoosung asked as I helped him down. "Of course, you wouldn't be doing anything too hard, just help out around the office and maybe grabbing me a coffee every now and then." I said smiling at Yoosung who seemed unsure. "I don't know, I'm not sure if my studies would benefit from this, I'm already behind as it is." He said sheepishly. "Then let me sweeten the deal, along with working for me, getting paid and getting experience I will also put aside one to two hours every day to help you with your studies." I said holding out my hand. "Really? Wow that sound's amazing!" He said as the door to Virdiana's office opened. "There you are Yoosung!" A woman said walking up to us. Not once did she look up from her screen. "I can't believe we lost you." She said typing a few things on her phone. "I can't believe you were irresponsible enough to lose an entire person Miss..." I squinted trying to look at her visitors badge. "Park." I said climbing back onto the horse. "Probably because you were on your phone instead of paying attention." I said as she stuttered a bunch of nonsense. "Think about my offer, I'll be at my main hospital tomorrow until five if you want to take my offer." I said flicking Lani's reins. I lead Lani down the path I was going down before as I heard Yoosung shout a response.

"You have a deal! I'll go over right after class!"
