Kihyun stared, dumbstruck at the big built-man as a strand of his orange hair fell from his ear. He dropped his stylus on the floor, jaw dropping down as it did.

"Hahahahaha. . . What?" The younger made a weird expression as he said that, the bigger man sighed. "Are you really stupid enough not to notice anything else?" He frowned, disappointed that he was actually an idiot as an actual person acting natural. As the guy said it, Kihyun rubbed his swollen and worn-out eyes, clearing up his vision.

He'd examine the guy, just now noticing the ears and the. . . The tail. . .

"Are you some kind of furry trying to rape me?" Kihyun thought aloud, putting his index finger and thumb on his chin. "No! What makes you think that!?" He yelled, irritation present in his tone. 

"Does this type of shit happen in real life? Oh wait- Are you--?" 
"I'm Shownu, you bastard. Are you even updated these days?"

. . .

"You're Shownu? My cute, eetsy weetsy, wittle dog?"

. . .

"Do you even know of the legend of the transforming dog?!" The man who was presumably Shownu, yelled. Kihyun uttered out a small 'aaaah' and then screamed shortly after. "No!! It can't be! You were so adorable. You're too big for me. ." The younger cried as he backed up and accidentally fell over on his bed. Silently, he died inside.

"I'm sorry~~" Shownu pounced onto Kihyun, in which the orange-haired man yelled, "Wait, don't do that!!1!" But was too late as the pup squashed him under his pure muscle.
"Okay, before you go hugging me, please get into some of my over-sized clothes. . ." Kihyun grunted as he managed to roll the older off of him, standing up and opening his large wardrobe. 

Kihyun quickly pulled out a comfortable outfit and threw it on the other, "Get changing, Minhyukie will come and visit me for today." He sighed, as he walked and grabbed his stylus from the floor and proceeded to grab for his round-shaped glasses (that was ontop of his end-table).

The artist wore his glasses, and to his surprise when he turned, his so-called pet was done changing into the clothes. "Wait, you're wearing the boxers under the ripped jeans. . . Right?" Kihyun looked suspicious, ". . . Yeah. . ?" Shownu slightly tilted his head, "Okay, good boy." He said out-of-habit, which made the older smile a little.

"Wait," Kihyun said as Shownu was about to stand up. His house's doorbell was ringing now, Minhyuk must've arrived. "Wear the hood on, say you're uhm. . . My new roommate, okay? This is just so sudden and you transformed at a really weird time!" Kihyun rubbed his face after saying all that, Shownu just hummed in response and did as his owner said so.

Kihyun immediately rushed over to his front door in a hurry, his shirt-collar crooked and wrinkled sweatpants a mess. As he opened the door, a new face came and greeted Kihyun with a surprised. "Kihyun-a!" Minhyuk hugged the younger, "Hyungnim. And who's this?" He let go as he looked at another man who also had a big build. He had blonde hair, but it was obviously dyed. "Oh! This is my editor, Hoseok hyung! But you can call him Wonho hyung." The red-haired man smiled, "I see. . . Nice to meet you." Kihyun held his hand out,

Wonho eyed the artist up and down before shaking his hand and smiling. "You too. Yoo Kihyun right? Famous artist." He chuckled as he let go of the other's hand and patted his shoulder,
"I see Wonho hyung is interested in you, hahaha." Minhyuk fake-laughed as he made a smug expression at Kihyun, in which Kihyun made the 'x' sign with his hands.

"Anyway, uh, take a seat! Minhyuk hyung will just be checking up on my progress." Kihyun bowed as he motioned over to his pure white couches, as he rushed to get his laptop from his studio. While he did that, Shownu sat in his owner's rather big room, on his bed, just clueless on what to do.

"His house is pretty big. I guess he gets sponsors all the time?" Wonho uttered out, looking around the rather large and aesthetic of a living room, then eyed what seemed to be a luxury-looking kitchen with a bunch of cook-books stacked in a book holder.
"As someone who works for an author, he gets 'em all the time because he's been trying to do some other stuff other than just drawing images all the time. He deserves it," Minhyuk smiled humbly as they sat down on the comfy and soft couches. "I'm not even envious of him one bit, in fact, I'm really proud."

"It's also funny because he mostly spends his time in his home. When I'm on vacation, I get to sleepover in here and we never went out a single day." As Minhyuk stated it, Wonho thought. "Must be nice." 

Kihyun came running back, a laptop buried in his arms. He'd sat down infront of the two as he opened the computer and turned it to face the older guys. "I've gone up to chapter 32. I think I need week break, I haven't been sleeping properly." The artist laughed dorkishly, "Actually, we should take a break, the three of us. We all haven't had great sleep." Wonho suggested, coincidentally yawning as he did.  

"Kihyun-a--"

Kihyun instantly turned, looking at Shownu. Though he had set everything in his mind, his heart raced at the sight of him infront of his acquaintances. 

"Is that your roommate?"  Minhyuk asked surprisingly, "Yeah. . .! Roommate. Yeah. His name is uhm. . . Son Hyunwoo." Kihyun lied through his teeth, how'd he even come up with the name? "He calls me Shownu. . . Nice to meet you all." The pup sat down beside Kihyun, somewhat acting natural and keeping the hood on. 

Fortunately, Wonho and Minhyuk didn't suspect a single thing and continued to discuss things with the other. Whilst Shownu listened, he actually didn't understand a single thing but he just chilled there. A couple more minutes passed when the time was up and the two visitors needed to go back home. 

"It was a good discussion. We've all agreed on the break, have a great week!" Wonho patted Kihyun's shoulder as he went ahead out of the door. Minhyuk giggled childishly as he grinned at his close-friend, "See you on Thursday! Let's all hang out, four of us." He'd state before leaving, closing the front door.

The moment the guests left, Kihyun groaned and slumped onto his couch. "What do I do with you, Shownu. . . Should I start acting like you're a normal person?" Kihyun's gaze turned to the older, noticing that he flicked the hood off of his head which exposed his dog ears. "Actually. . . Do you even have proof you're actually Shownu, and not some random transforming dog who replaced MY Shownu?" The artist squinted his eyes, standing up and backing away from the other. 

Shownu sighed and opened his mouth,
"You bought me as a pet when you were 20," 

Kihyun sighed in relief, "Okay. . . That's a good thing. . . Uh. . ." The younger was clueless now,
"When are the ears and tail disappearing anyway. . .?" He said, "3 days. . ." Shownu smiled as he stated that.

"But seriously, I still don't know how to feel about all of this."
