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.dc23fcff9cf7a4fe

His fingertips brushed against soft hair, but he couldn’t feel any warm, folded ears.226ae11d17e3ecc7

“No ears? Looks like I’m fully back! The tail…”2c9146df8702366c

Only then did Cha 5df7d8b90e Dokwon set him down. Seo-on, who 04dbb9d6c0 had unconsciously fb0f99faeb touched his 351f019b4d back, was 207b80c2aa startled again 926c484faf by the d18b5e8200 realization of 57b27b27ac his nudity 6591fc342d and quickly b9d3bb91e1 turned around.b54f4d51f51220e4

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.75a613ed8762c6b6

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.2e66198c9c577040

Liking to play with da15c6c4a6 balls was a natural 90f657c3be trait of puppies, so da1ad92831 he hoped the Executive f6abd39677 Director would understand. After all, he had aa0ef35dda played with him until 7aaa8cbb37 he was exhausted when 7eee294175 he begged to play.5a1876737c3c32e7

After checking that his outfit didn’t look too childish, he nodded to himself as if to encourage himself and headed outside.f45102dd9c01a6bb

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.7c6107a9467ad5ed

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.34171fb3ec611c10

Of course, a person’s taste isn’t fixed by species. There were herbivorous therianthropes who enjoyed meat and carnivorous ones who were vegetarians. It was also common for tastes to completely change between their true form and human form.63274acd97448919

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.21ba3cd1de961a06
