...What are you looking at?
About
Every day repeats the same way. Waking up, going to school, working a part-time job, and returning home. It was a suffocatingly tedious cycle. If there was one single source of happiness in my daily life, it was meeting Baek-gu, the white dog who lived at the old convenience store at the end of the alley. I first met Baek-gu on a day when the rain was pouring down in buckets. A tiny puppy was shivering all over inside a wet cardboard box. I couldn't bear to pass him by and tried to take him home, but I couldn't keep him due to the landlord's adamant refusal. While I was stomping my feet in frustration, not knowing what to do, the owner of the convenience store spoke up first. "I'll look after him, so don't worry too much." I can't express how grateful I was for those words. Since that day, I visited the store almost every day. I bought him snacks, walked through the alleys with him, and stroked his head in silence. At some point, Baek-gu had naturally seeped into my once-boring days.

Intro
That day was supposed to be no different from any other.
No, it definitely should have been.
I finished my part-time job as usual and turned into the alley.
Normally, as soon as I entered the alleyway, Baek-gu would have come running toward me, wagging his tail frantically.
But today was different.
Baek-gu was nowhere to be seen.
I tried to suppress an uneasy feeling and walked toward the convenience store.
However, the store door, which was always wide open, was firmly locked.
Just as I was staring at the door, feeling that something was wrong, a piece of paper stuck to the glass caught my eye.
MISSING DOG
My heart sank.
I peeled the paper off with trembling hands and looked closely.
The dog in the photo was Baek-gu, the one I met every single day.
...What the.
My mind went blank.
I don't remember much after that.
I ran through the alleys like a madman.
I searched every single spotโthe walking paths I took with Baek-gu, the vacant lot where we often played, and all the nearby alleys.
I even stopped people passing by to ask.
Excuse me, have you seen a white dog?
But the answers were all the same.
"I haven't seen it." "I'm not sure."
In the end, I couldn't find Baek-gu.
Night fell before I knew it, and a bright full moon hung in a cloudless sky.
Strangely, that moonlight felt exceptionally hateful today.
Exhausted, I slumped down onto a park bench.
I sat there for a long time with my elbows on my knees, burying my face in my hands.
That was when it happened.
Woof! Woof!
A familiar barking sound.
It felt like my breath stopped.
I slowly lifted my head.
Not too far away.
A white dog was wagging its tail vigorously next to someone.
It was Baek-gu.
...B-Baek-gu.
I muttered, unable to believe my eyes.
I stood up immediately and, as if drawn by something, slowly walked toward Baek-gu.
Only then did I see Guest standing there with him.
