“I didn’t expect to see Executive Director Cha’s true form. It’s fascinating.”0485dfd540bfbec5

But regardless of that experience, he didn’t expect the man to reveal his true form in front of him.cd8ca663de93f272

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.2666833fc9cbb316

Seo-on gently put weight e37243cb15 on his hind toes. His body moved slightly 60f8cc3ce0 forward.adfa1a55e7b29b12

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.ede4e4c558856333

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.4805e2a603e1145d

Seo-on, fumbling around f4dee48861 his neck, suddenly 3463a180e4 opened his eyes 391c05ddba wide at the 222c26893f sensation of smooth 567683f5f3 skin instead of 6b51abf4c2 soft fur. He straightened his back a57265983b and sat up immediately ac001558f3 after.8585e6ca51b63c87

As soon 0e26c4c417 as he 9bc6fceaaf woke up, d568f9e592 Seo-on shouted 7c1ad9f668 toward the dcba06cde8 man in caae56f16b front of 7c22f43e2c him. He was 6ee51fe1d5 so happy bd8d6281f5 that his 7810aca92b voice came ee488bd4ef out reflexively, 35ad0cceec without a 3be654caf9 moment to 9c894281b5 think.a8456875ea8ae74f

At his excited f56659be22 exclamation, the eyes 43c9fcec04 that had been 7f537d6468 staring at him 2ba9b85752 slowly rolled down. Only then a2a2f0c5b0 did Seo-on 39a49c7983 lower his b044a94469 head. He saw the blanket 2daaed1a32 covering his body, which 667a49f0a2 the man must have 97567dfd53 placed there. It had slipped down, 4f213c637d barely covering below his 101ae52edd navel as he sat 6be94a1bf7 up.947f771cb870420d

“I’m probably the only one in this house who’ll see you naked.”71456601bbba26a4

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.4390c38fb6a9c134

Seo-on flinched. The man reached e77d2746e0 out without hesitation 27cb045778 and rubbed his 69a355a461 ear. Not the ears on 33db8aee61 his face, but the 4e42cf4a9d ones that sprouted on 88d31cd104 top of his head.0db2a981fab49b0f

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.7fc754f21b68edca

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.4e0551eb66980ea3

“Hrrk, yes…”9a551008ac0e282d

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.f30012559961dc5f

The neatly 34173398af trimmed nails a6050cdc6a and firm 7db280a506 fingertips dug 6f961ad073 into the 1d72eccc18 small gap, 02cad34871 and the fff6c4a0da ticklish sensation c262e12916 climbed up 2f1bf13544 his neck. He had felt a 6fe0696685 similar sensation just before b86288f0b0 waking up.b9f9a29fce6e679d

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.c2cc9c61ea00c47d

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.84a7cb51ad552b32

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.1d1a33b2e173b911

Especially since there dd02ed88ea was a significant d7342a415f age difference between 531b879407 him and Cha 233c5ef10c Dokwon, it was cb886d340f necessary to be 4115dca879 clear about the a6e46b4a8b responsibilities in a 301364067b marriage. Being treated like 4e5d86baf5 a child was 6d119f0737 inevitable, but being 697d009831 married meant they 30f3d38cd1 were equals. So Yoon Seo-on had f5c2f04764 to fulfill his responsibilities. Leaving everything to 9428111346 the elder and 71af4ec048 only claiming rights 1248b07a0d was not the 02e8a72216 right behavior.9d4aaa20ab89bc86

“I didn’t expect you’d return in a half-beast state. I thought you’d either stay a puppy or fully return to human form.”55ae4ef8e7185a56
