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.b4129843492e257e

Knowing this, 1f8f46fd4e his family 99ffa8270b would sometimes 6e72cd2363 play vigorously 9c99cebf08 with toys 988b0c1044 when Seo-on 85eb6ec2e3 reverted to 5683cbc75e his true c5116bcb24 form. His brother and sister fb20dd273a even transformed into wolves b4eafcddf9 and engaged in physical 2207fef345 play.62bf9f7479048eb2

While he was chewing 8e3ae9fe3c the ball like gum, 18e4e4258e not caring about his 6036cdb2e2 squished cheeks, he suddenly 1762dac3f6 perked up his drooping 58a73e12e2 ears. He caught the sound 5a46e66415 of someone entering the 519d7641e1 house.8ba5ae19754e3827

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.1bd4d694e3059187

Thanks to that, 7febc8d6ff he only felt 236cbdca6a embarrassed for a a1dd5557c3 moment before he 225d2fbdd5 had a blast f82ea1ad4e playing.

If I don’t turn back into my human form today, I might have to contact my family… There were many restrictions on his actions when he was a puppy. Asking Cha Dokwon to act as his guardian would only burden him, so for now, contacting his family for help seemed like the best option.1aa07d8d665593ec

It wasn’t a question but a voice filled with curiosity.37adc4af32e1f32e

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.bc49a632b86dc5dd

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.6a9b33c10245f349

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.c7ba541c393070e0

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.

‘No, calling it dedication isn’t quite right.’296932c5eaf25e0f

If there was a more fitting term, it would be workaholic rather than dedicated. It wasn’t that he loved his work and immersed himself in it; it was more like he poured his mental strength and focus into getting it done quickly. To those who didn’t know Cha Dokwon well, he might appear to be a workaholic, so it wasn’t entirely inaccurate.4bade207118bf7d4

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. When Cha Dokwon ran the company, the results were excellent, regardless of the process. But those results came from the man’s precise judgment, not from enthusiasm.3d468da0f84f49a9

Cha Dokwon 54048178a8 handled everything f6262e3f5c with indifference.

Being indifferent to everything 497367b546 meant he had no 6e576581eb particular desires, yet he 65ba679401 disliked having his things 034ec066a3 taken away, which was 733005d01f a personality Lee Junghoo 1eaf148d9b found hard to understand.d7b974a4c65fa5cf

‘Is it because of the strong beast blood?’9c3a2ff0c82e3253

The chain of questions f224224e57 led to one conclusion. It was 9144c2220b a rather f8ed11e8a7 spontaneous hypothesis, da22cf5854 but it 1a963cb634 seemed close 475fde58da to the 8d2188ed15 truth.4ba74ef24c0f569f

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.da6ebab638d4e161

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.25b3c1258475343d
