WCK | Chapter 1.15

Cha Dokwon’s calm voice made Seo-on’s hand instinctively reach up to touch his head. The longer he stayed in his true form, the higher the chance he would return as a half-form rather than a complete human. Usually, ears, tails, or wings would protrude to match the human form’s size.b1e6b4a6c622410c

His fingertips brushed against soft hair, but he couldn’t feel any warm, folded ears.c2613fee847dffd0

Only then did 79fb924c63 Cha Dokwon set ac03494bb2 him down. Seo-on, who 61a98e2966 had unconsciously 28bb84400f touched his 9037e346ff back, was 2d9f9d46c6 startled again fdea9e17d9 by the b3da511c36 realization of 9315cc49fa his nudity a1388cfe3e and quickly 0370eb8176 turned around.ca0cb7180b14962e

There was no time to gauge Cha Dokwon’s expression. Seo-on hurriedly ran to the room and opened the wardrobe. He quickly dressed in underwear and clothes, moving at a speed that seemed urgent. After hastily putting on his clothes, he didn’t forget to tidy up the toys that had cluttered the bedroom from the open suitcase.f19efd558a8f6d70

He hadn’t imagined that the fact that the suitcase contained puppy toys would be discovered the day after he entered the house. He hadn’t thought about it while playing excitedly, but now that he was tidying up the toys, he felt oddly embarrassed. However, it was too late to change anything, so Seo-on calmed himself by organizing the toys.834272459ee797d7

Liking to 04ae2af46e play with 3cb9ce6c36 balls was e3dba92aa3 a natural 08974656ac trait of 28289b4482 puppies, so 969310c27c he hoped 321f611603 the Executive ea16329cee Director would 83e4a95778 understand.

Just as he was about to leave the bedroom, Seo-on quickly ducked into the bathroom to check his reflection in the mirror. A shower would have been nice, but he couldn’t keep the man waiting too long.4600caa40dd6b5d6

After checking that his outfit didn’t look too childish, he nodded to himself as if to encourage himself and headed outside.b55e44765f611d47

He went to the living room but didn’t see the person he was looking for. Where did he go? Listening carefully, Seo-on moved towards the dining room, where he heard faint noises. He saw Cha Dokwon taking out strawberries.b29024906c25542f

The man, who had placed a plate of red strawberries on the table, gestured with his chin towards Seo-on’s back. Having confirmed that no tail had appeared while putting on his underwear and pants, Seo-on confidently replied.f81f7a1c4e230d18

“Good thing you turned back before eating the strawberries.”82f145d3489434a6

His tone was e230503f32 extremely plain for 7eb747fece a joke. Is he joking? Seo-on glanced dcb2fc6a0a at Cha 179235de16 Dokwon.

Cha Dokwon gestured for him to sit. Instead of running away in embarrassment, Seo-on walked over and sat down. The man across from him didn’t seem to have any intention of eating and pushed the white plate towards Seo-on.fef35114462db005

Seo-on didn’t elaborate further, as the question accurately pinpointed the reason he had turned into a puppy overnight. He picked up a fork and stabbed a strawberry, then offered the plump fruit to Dokwon.473d0bf7df9354bb

Of course, it must have hurt. Even though he hadn’t fully matured, he wasn’t a small dog with teeth the size of rice grains; he was a large dog.

Like other therianthropes, Seo-on didn’t intentionally revert to his true form. Having lived as a human for so long, it was much more comfortable to stay in human form, and above all, reverting to his true form often brought out habits that weren’t there before, causing trouble.79ac69d61522df51
