Feverish Calls II.

B A E J O O H Y U N

Joohyun could not believe she was doing this. She was taking her time from work to lug a sick Director back home.

Upon stepping inside the apartment, Joohyun makes a quick note of the area. Black and white interior. A few rolled up paper balls, socks on the sofa. There was a counter top kitchen, occupied by supply of various ramyeon brands.

Director Kim shuts the door behind her and slips into some inside slippers. He stops to stare at Joohyun's feet and pulls off his shoes, moving them to her.

" Take mine, I don't really have anyone else-"

" WOOF." A loud bark echoed into the room as Joohyun jumps once she hears a growling sound from farther down the hall. Did he have a wolf in his house?

Taehyung smiles.

" Tan-ah,come over here boy." Taehyung says, kneeling down. Joohyun holds her breath, waiting for a 4 foot saber tooth tiger to come prancing into Taehyung's arms.

She blinks a few times once she sees the smallest dog she had ever seen running into Taehyung's large hands, swallowing him whole. Joohyun, places her feet into the large slippers, glaring at the fact that they were 10 sizes too big before carefully trudging forward in hopes that they wouldn't fly off her feet.

She walks over to Taehyung, watching the species with distaste. The fluff ball was colored with hazel brown and black, and for the smallest moment she wondered if the animal was even real, until its head pops up from Taehyung's hands, revealing a beady pair of black eyes.

" So that's a dog.." Joohyun begins, watching the doll looking animal stare back.

" No Joohyun, it's an elephant." He coughs before a finger comes to give his dog a scratch behind the ear.

" His names Yeontan." The fluffball stares at Joohyun for a while before his begins growling at her, showing all his small teeth. Joohyun sighs.

Taehyung's nephew hadn't liked her.

Taehyung's friend Seungwan hates her.

And now his stupid dog did too.

" you can pet hi-"

" No that's not necessary..at all." She quips, skidding past the fluff thing before placing her items on the counter top.

" But you should start putting..." Joohyun stares at the dog.

"His name is Yeontan." Taehyung drawls, bringing his dog into the kitchen with him.

" Yes. You should put him down, you don't need to worsen your sinuses..sir." She says, frowning once she meets Yeontan's eyes.

" Hmm, true. I'll introduce you two later." Taehyung says, walking Yeontan to a small door before entering inside.

I rather get introduced to a tree, Joohyun thought as she scanned the perimeter for any kind of vegetable to add into her soup. She washed a pot and placed in on the stove, grabbing a knife after finding some spring onions in the fridge. She could feel a pair of eyes staring her down as she finished cutting.

" I don't like when people stare as I cook." She begins, testing the sharpness of her knife as she places her soft padded finger on the metal point.

" It's interesting. Watching the employee that's always behind my desk, standing in front of me." He says, while Joohyun refuses to remove her eyes from the cutting board in front of her.
