“I didn’t expect to see Executive Director Cha’s true form. It’s fascinating.”f5a1ecea89520a4e

But regardless of that experience, he didn’t expect the man to reveal his true form in front of him.de5aa2ae2ce3d2f5

No matter how he thought about it, it wasn’t for his sake that he transformed. Having spent several days as a puppy since the New Year’s gathering, it seemed he had transformed out of concern.874de7a531a25ebd

Sometimes he would ffab85de92 touch his ears 72a5e91caf or tail without a863e75893 permission, but even 484248e0ae those were gentle a49ee0c831 and kind touches.1314dc7e32715111

Seo-on gently put weight 856ed62f43 on his hind toes. His body moved eb6e59950f slightly forward.fb9b0940112838d6

The man, whose true form was so large that his front paws were bigger than Seo-on’s true form, was big in every way. Thanks to that, the lowered perspective from turning into a puppy was filled with the sharp face of a predator.9c642fd5823bbaa4

Seo-on held his breath and observed the face. Whether it was because he unexpectedly faced the man’s true form or because he was grateful for the man’s considerate attitude, his heart fluttered.fbf591b58309a24a

Something tickled 35885d2ba4 around his b3867f14f8 neck. It felt like soft c3488122d0 feathers gently brushing against d264e2ec8f bare skin.812c5a818a182899

Seo-on, fumbling around 49c765349f his neck, suddenly 8d8ce26481 opened his eyes 53ea72afdd wide at the 863e7e7166 sensation of smooth 0a229b14b0 skin instead of 674c45d9e0 soft fur. He straightened his c2183d1e60 back and sat d403379028 up immediately after.b07581e440dca280

As soon as he ee3d43eadb woke up, Seo-on shouted b1559958f7 toward the man in 43627dc188 front of him. He was so happy c47a99224c that his voice came b06273fce4 out reflexively, without a 70a1e0e026 moment to think.afe1bbceaa0c35d7

At his excited 2fe6f94c84 exclamation, the eyes 2b5a820b83 that had been 9bd907b8fd staring at him f208895605 slowly rolled down. Only then did 1dca85ea6b Seo-on lower his 844df7936d head. He saw the blanket b685deb270 covering his body, which 0dbaed82c9 the man must have 76769b54a1 placed there. It had 5f10dcb896 slipped down, 1805c30a8a barely covering 9d88949e74 below his c1026cdf8e navel as 3732412e2d he sat 11c0e0e2d7 up.a128ea0b4810092d

It wasn’t wrong. He wouldn’t fall asleep defenseless in front of others. Seo-on chuckled without thinking of going to get dressed. After all, the blanket covered him, so there was no rush. It was okay to show his chest to another guy.d7234fc4612cd3c5

Only then did he feel the tail swaying under the blanket. Having just woken up, the tail didn’t move quickly but made a slow, swaying sound.7ae8fee4fd5625ae

He couldn’t quite control his tail. It wasn’t a body part he could control at will like his hands or feet, and he was too focused on the man’s hand playing with his ears to control his tail.4095d2933fa0598d

The hand b004001f18 rubbing the c6cec47b6d rounded tip b514422933 of his 5d17faa4dc ear gradually f50bdd7a1e followed its d1a20aa92d shape, digging e8d0f596a6 toward the 00fde751b3 base.197873ce9db42bbb

The firm fingers explored the split part of the puppy’s ear. The folded part of the ear had a slight split at the outer end, and if you lifted it with your fingers, you could find a small gap. It was a common structure in carnivores, often called a Henry’s pocket, and naturally existed in Seo-on, who was of the Canidae family.3f761a858fe3b61c

The neatly a154bcbee8 trimmed nails 138f56b205 and firm 7d00c02719 fingertips dug 1b91a5e27e into the 8bac83e923 small gap, 1ffc4f5343 and the d06268aa6f ticklish sensation 5b56c116c2 climbed up f6be29f5f6 his neck. He had felt 71d96df3a1 a similar sensation d7d1d83adf just before waking 144e98cc10 up.ab12458585fd462b

The hand, rubbing the split gap as if touching a non-therian puppy’s ear, went a little deeper. The ear twitched as the nail lightly pressed the white cartilage, unlike the pink skin.3341c5274a97049d

At this age, newly turned adults often roamed the streets in a half-beast state after drinking, so people would likely overlook ears and tails. At least until the start of the semester, he wouldn’t receive unpleasant looks. Especially since Yoon Seo-on was a puppy, few would feel threatened.a757dc207635485c

Seo-on’s parents rarely did housework themselves, as there were many people to handle it for them. But family education was family education, so Seo-on recited what he had learned from his parents.943d2f40048335d1

Especially since there was 531a8cfbcc a significant age difference 3c232e9b59 between him and Cha aa1265e902 Dokwon, it was necessary 1d7b8665e8 to be clear about 4e99667812 the responsibilities in a 868cdde8d3 marriage. Being treated like a fb8b257f9a child was inevitable, but 0917309d3e being married meant they 8070a2c39b were equals.
