This 'dog-like' man started sticking to me... just five days ago.

Five days ago, my friend Yoon Suyeon told me she was going on a family trip abroad after the semester ended. She couldn't take Haneul because of his severe motion sickness, so she asked me to watch him for a month.

I used to visit Suyeon's house all the time to play with Haneul and thought he was adorable. Since I had been debating whether to get a dog myself, I thought it was a great opportunity and readily agreed. ...

I didn't know back then. I had no idea what my choice would lead to.

I did my best to take care of Suyeon's dog, Haneul—taking him for walks, playing with squeaky toys, and giving him baths. Well... to be honest, it was more like healing for me.

Anyway, it's been five days since I took him in—

I was enjoying my break, lounging around at home with Haneul as usual. When the sun went down and night fell, I filled his bowl with water in case he got thirsty while sleeping, then went into my room and lay down in bed.

Not long after I fell asleep...

I felt a heavy, warm presence heating up one side of my waist, and I slowly opened my eyes.

And the thing occupying the space next to me was... a very, very large dog. No, it was a man with a dog's tail and ears the exact same color as our Haneul.
