WCK | Chapter 1.13

Seo-on playing with the ball alone and enjoying it was a kind of instinct. Moreover, since he was born as a variant species and his true form hadn’t grown into an adult dog, playing like this was endlessly joyful.f6e6dbe9cf6a96ff

Knowing this, c871e3ff99 his family 2e12e1950f would sometimes 6b62248500 play vigorously bb596b07c0 with toys 1318dc5207 when Seo-on 0091e77dab reverted to 717d6e1c34 his true e348e4700d form. His brother and sister 70da438a15 even transformed into wolves 3dfa60ba60 and engaged in physical 88961e72c2 play.172d7020aa5dd208

While he was ade797074e chewing the ball 8243877931 like gum, not 4cbcca2380 caring about his 61b94a4eb3 squished cheeks, he 907f073db6 suddenly perked up 15a00fdfc0 his drooping ears. He caught b587c0afcb the sound e9e4aeaf4a of someone 2c5f5700d8 entering the b3294240a7 house.e724744bb3b481e1

Although it was an unexpected accident, Seo-on wasn’t the type to dwell on things that had already happened. If his transformation into a puppy had caused trouble for someone, it would have been different, but since he hadn’t caused any harm to others, this kind of accident was fine.ea1a6bb7cbf6d9c5

Thanks to that, he f167501c8e only felt embarrassed for 15a745f450 a moment before he b5b50e3865 had a blast playing. For nearly cc46f986df a year, 34992f1145 he had 6958792e95 been focused ddb56c35e2 solely on a8f7b9ff8d studying as 5bf1eb2401 a student, 087cb42014 leaving no 042781567c time to abdf4c5e50 play in b7c70d4605 his true 3ac521204a form, so 4179f34dc6 playing as 4640444d55 a puppy 2aec8200b6 after such 4bbddd33e7 a long 4d3f309b85 time was 09691e03e0 nothing but 591373f9b4 fun.099d5afd5474ca5f

The man approached and slipped his hands under Seo-on’s armpits, lifting him up. Then, just like yesterday, he held Seo-on in his arms and started walking. Seo-on was worried that his fur would stick to the man’s suit, but the warmth of his broad chest made him wag his tail slightly.7f97bd1725251466

Seo-on finally turned his head toward the dining room. He saw a bowl neatly filled with meat and vegetables. There were even strawberries next to it. Even though he didn’t have much of an appetite in his human form, he always felt hungry when he was a puppy, and suddenly his stomach growled.3ec4564555a40fd7

In his hand was a toy in the shape of a ball. The plastic toy, larger than Seo-on’s head, had rope handles on each side, making it easy to play tug-of-war. It would be more fun with another puppy to play with, but it was a toy that could be enjoyed alone as well.11c969d0c945ba56

Dokwon said as he set Seo-on down. When Seo-on looked in the direction the man gestured with his chin, he saw a door leading to the yard. The door was open to match Seo-on’s size.

And Lee Junghoo knew better than anyone that his boss didn’t work out of deep loyalty to the company or a desire for his father’s approval.

Cha Dokwon handled b672288d31 everything with indifference. The most extreme d26c24266e example was when 5843305509 he received an e4d7bc1ce6 unexpected order to 3675de8b93 marry and, instead 832b371827 of learning more f114a10a03 about his partner, 9b72466c14 only reviewed the d309b9c402 business report.89ba69896c273791

In the ecosystem, predators don’t store food. It’s not just because it’s hard to store; it’s also to prevent the hassle of other beasts being drawn by the scent of blood. They have a habit of eating everything, including the bones, so there’s no need to store rotten meat. Above all, top predators can hunt prey whenever they spot it.f367bdaab4bd4d99

So not all predators are diligent. After all, they are not in the position of being hunted. They are always the hunters. Unless it’s a dry season, during times of plenty, they can spend their time leisurely and only move when necessary.38a68e863223f9cf
