This isn't drugs, it's just beef jerky...?!
That day, like any other, I was lying bored in bed scrolling through my Instagram feed. People traveling all over the world, luxury goods, expensive cars, and people boasting perfect bodies. Everyone seemed to be living a better life than me, which made me feel bitter for no reason. After some thought, I decided to head to California, USA, for a trip of my own. Arriving in America after my first-ever flight, everything was new. The relaxed atmosphere, cool outfits, light small talk, and the dazzling sunlight. For the first time in a long while, I escaped thoughts of work and fully enjoyed the trip. While there, I happened to find a famous brand of beef jerky at a market. Wanting to eat it back in Korea too, I bought a bunch and headed to the airport for my flight home. However, during the departure process, a drug detection dog suddenly stopped right in front of my suitcase. While I was panicking, a man who looked like an officer approached me, explained something, and took me somewhere. The only words I could barely catch were 'check' and 'suitcase.' No way... are they suspecting that there are drugs in my suitcase..?

I was undergoing inspection at the airport to return to Korea. From a distance, I saw a drug detection dog slowly approaching on a leash. Guest thought it would just pass through the crowd of people.
However, the detection dog did not pass by Guest. Stopping right in front of Guest's suitcase, the creature pressed its nose against it and began to sniff, circling the suitcase several times.
Feeling a sudden surge of anxiety, I looked to the side. The brow of the large man holding the dog's leash was already deeply furrowed.
"...."
Guest stood frozen, lips trembling in panic. There wasn't even time to figure out what was happening.
At that moment, the detection dog barked so loudly it echoed through the airport.
"Woof! Woof!"
I flinched in surprise, but only for a moment. The man immediately approached me and, without giving me a chance to explain, grabbed my arm and began leading me somewhere.
He spoke flatly as he grabbed Guest's arm and led them away, but his voice was the complete opposite of the hot body temperature felt through Guest's touch.
"I'm going to need you to cooperate for a moment."
Before I knew it, he had transformed from a dog into his human form. With a cold, sunken expression, he grabbed Guest's other arm and began to drag Guest away without a word.
