@sehun o。ᵛᶦᵛᶦˢᵈᵃᵈ "He looks amazing," Kyungsoo says, chuckling some more before he turns to Vivi that look at him and then turns his head to look at Sehun. "Elvis Presley was a great man with style. What we're trying to say is that you look amazing, Vivi." He continues, smiling as the fluff of fur falls back into the pup's eyes. Kyungsoo pushes the coat to the back and holds it there while he turns to the other male in the room, nodding. "I can only try and do my best to win Soot's heart. I only know for sure that I want him to keep the name. You gave the name to him, and I don't want to take that away. I'm already taking him home, and the name is important to him." He continues before focusing on the labrador in the male's arms. "And I like the name. I like it a lot."

@kyungsoo d。ᵃᵍᵍʳᵉˢᵒᵒ “Elvis Presley? Shush, he could hear you.” Chuckling, Sehun gazes over to the other male and Vivi, who seems very content with the situation and attention that he was receiving. “It would seem that he likes you.” Nodding towards the two. In general Vivi liked to keep his distance from the visitors, as if showing them that he was already taken and giving space for the smaller puppies to woo the humans, but climbing up on Kyungsoo’s lap had seemed like a natural instinct. “Don’t worry about it, Kyungsoo, me and Soot had plenty of time to bond already, and I gave him some extra attention when his sister left. I’m sure he’ll prefer you in the future.” Sehun voices while capturing the labrador’s snout between his fingers and pulls, lightly, then lets the puppy bite on his hand, for it didn’t hurt much. And if Soot would leave some marks behind then it wouldn’t be noticable, seeing as Sehun’s forearms and hands were already donned with various scratches. “Will you keep the name? You obviously don’t have to.”

@sehun o。ᵛᶦᵛᶦˢᵈᵃᵈ "I know you wouldn't, but we can't deny that Vivi is starting to look like the little puppy version of Elvis Presley, right?" Kyungsoo asks, fluffing the fur right on top of the puppy's head and chuckles at sight. He turns to the dog in his arms, his lips curl into a smile while he focuses on scratching Vivi's chin, showering him with little coos and caresses along his snout. Vivi is such a good boy, Kyungsoo thinks to himself as the puppy easily allows a stranger to touch him and interact with him. He's thankful that he is not being rejected since cats do tend to dismiss him with one swipe of an overlook. Well, they have a higher or unique standard than Kyungsoo can fathom. The male looks up, finding Sehun enjoying his time playing with Soot as well and he smiles. "Is it bad that I may get jealous in the future if Soot plays with you more than he does with me?"

@kyungsoo d。ᵃᵍᵍʳᵉˢᵒᵒ “I wouldn’t let it go so far that he would start facing issues because of it, of course.” Sehun had never quite imagined that a life with a dog would help him in many ways, that Vivi would be there to aid him in social conversations as well as soothe him when he came back from doing his tasks. It was the nicest thing, to cradle this little creature in his sleep, warm and soft against his chest. “Ah yes, I remember. I probably should talk to her about booking an appointment sometime in the near future.” Sehun responds, eyes on Vivi when said pup puts his bum down and settles on Kyungsoo’s lap, obviously having made the decision and accepted the male. Upon crouching down himself a smile grazes his lips when Soot walks back, reaching a hand out he playfully bothers the pup, poking at his paws and chuckling when the labrador attacks and chases his hand.

@sehun o。ᵛᶦᵛᶦˢᵈᵃᵈ It is very subtle, but Kyungsoo's eyes catch the slight pause in Sehun's movement as if the male is slightly in a state of shock. It is somewhat similar to a buffering video on YouTube, and for that, he couldn't help but chuckle a little more. Whatever the male is thinking about, it must have been a funny thought. "He does seem like he needs a few snips here and there. Perhaps, he needs a little haircut too. But, at least, he can still see and have no difficulties when playing with his friends, right?" Kyungsoo asks, softly chuckling as he watches Vivi making his way towards him. The fluff of fur continues to bounce over Vivi's head and into his eyes. Kyungsoo feels bad, so he reaches for the pup that quickly lets himself be lifted and held in Kyungsoo's arms. Kyungsoo allows Vivi to his fingers first before he tries to push the coils away from getting into the pup's eyes. "I have a friend who is a groomer, remember Lin? She's always ready to groom these babies."

@kyungsoo d。ᵃᵍᵍʳᵉˢᵒᵒ In a way the smile that finds its way onto Kyungsoo’s features is the prettiest thing he’s seen in a while, for it extends to his eyes and settles deep within his soul. A gentle touch, the honesty that is a purity, and with an air of childish innocence while being surrounded by the purest of beings. Sehun returns the smile, warm and soft, most of which is expressed in his eyes. “Ah, I guess.. It’s just me, he just looks too cute like this, I couldn’t take him to the groomers. Even though he’s grown in two sizes.” He answers, a light chuckle soon following. “I really should though, or at least start clipping his bangs back.” He adds, raising a hand to gingerly push the fluff back from Vivi’s eyes, quenching the urge to coo. “They play well together, he won’t mind.” With that he sets Vivi back down, watching as the bundle of white more or less bounces over to the human which had remained sitting, eager to greet the newcomer.

@sehun o。ᵛᶦᵛᶦˢᵈᵃᵈ "He is adorable," Kyungsoo says, letting out a soft chuckle as he waves at the little fluff of cloud that Sehun is cradling. He quickly fixes his glasses before he lets his hand down, turning to Sehun, a massive smile across his face, lighting up his whole system and brings twinkles to his eyes. "He's too cute. I'm sorry. Is this Vivi preferring to be as fluffy fantastic as he could be or is this your doing?" He tilts his head, wanting to know more the reason why the male's companion is similarly mimicking a baby lamb or cloud. If he ever let Mokmul flaunt her fluffiness, she would look like a ball of travelling soots. "But hello, Vivi, I'm Mokmul and Soot's father. Please play with them before I bring them home later, alright?" He greets the puppy in Sehun's arms, his chest clenches and squeezes, but it is with delight. Kyungsoo doesn't mind it one bit. Again, it feels like falling in love, and he is immensely happy to be surrounded by radiant and bundles of happiness around him.

@kyungsoo d。ᵃᵍᵍʳᵉˢᵒᵒ The shelter had been a part of the town for some years already, although Sehun had only just started working there a few months back, after adopting Vivi from the same shelter. It was a nice contrast to the task that he’d been created to carry out. Dogs were called man’s best friend, and it made perfect sense to Sehun why. Because to them the furry friends were the loved ones. Loyal. Cherished. Humans didn’t trust humans, but they trusted that their dog would stay loyal to them. He nods his head now, as the lamb stand on his hind legs, and Sehun isn’t late to swoop the creature of the floor and cradle him in his arms. “Yeah, this is Vivi.” Since forever he’d become accustomed that flicker of fear to ignite within a human’s eye, the tears and the pleas. Animals were different, they saw right through you and decided whether you were worthy their time or not. Vivi had glued himself to the reaper on his very first visit to the shelter. In a way it hadn’t been Sehun who chose which dog he wanted to bring into his home, for Vivi had already made that decision for him in a heartbeat. “This is Kyungsoo, he’s going to take care of Soot and Mokmul.” He murmurs, pressing his lips into thick fur.

@sehun o。ᵛᶦᵛᶦˢᵈᵃᵈ While his two new pups are busy playing with themselves, Kyungsoo finally takes this chance to look at the room, eyes falling from one object to another. It quickly reminds him of the playroom at the hospital and slowly, he lets out a sigh. Even on his days off, the children always come to his mind, and he wonders if he should visit them later. He could bring cookies that they can enjoy and spend time with them. The workload at the hospital grows as more senior residents move to do their fellowships. He still needs to train the new residents so, Kyungsoo has been avoiding the playroom for some time now, not wanting to give hopes to the children that he would stop by to play with them. Kyungsoo looks up when he hears the door clicks open and whatever frown he may have a few seconds ago disappear and in turn, there is a huge blooming smile across his face. He sees a cloud fluttering around Sehun's legs and for sure, his heart skips a beat at sight. That must be Vivi, Kyungsoo thinks to himself as he looks up to the male, thanking Sehun and taking the forms from the male's hands. "Sorry, I know this is a weird question but is this Vivi?"

@kyungsoo d。ᵃᵍᵍʳᵉˢᵒᵒ The office isn’t too big nor is it extravagant in any way, they rarely spend much time in there and it shows, it’s beginning to look more like a storage room. Sehun grabs a binder, found beneath a pile of papers, and flips through the pages until he finds the ones that they usually hand out to the new owners. There’s a list of things one should consider buying, another one shows what kind of foods and other products that the shelter uses, the last one is just information about adopting in general. Vivi lays sprawled on the floor, basking in whatever sunlight that manages to sneak in through the window. At this point the dog looks more like a sheep than anything, but Sehun doesn’t have it in him to bring him to the groomer. He simply looks too cute like this, like a fluffy cloud on legs, and Sehun’s affection for the animal only grows. When he steps back into the playroom Vivi is following close at his heels, dark eyes and the black button nose a stark contrast to his white and thick fur. “Alright, this should cover it. If you have any other questions— you know how to reach me.”

@sehun o。ᵛᶦᵛᶦˢᵈᵃᵈ He throws the male a glance before nodding, lips curling into a smile as he watches the taller steps out of the room. Patiently, Kyungsoo waits for Sehun to come back again, hands still busy with the two puppies sitting on his lap, playing with one another. They would bop each other's snout, at one another before running around in laps, circling their future owner. And Kyungsoo's lips break into a radiant smile, bubbles of laughter leaving his tiers. He knows that beautiful memories are slowly in the making. Kyungsoo can only hope that he remembers to find the old camera his father gifted him somewhere in the unpacked boxes. He will have to have it cleaned, but for now, the small to-do is tucked safely at the back of his mind.

@kyungsoo d。ᵃᵍᵍʳᵉˢᵒᵒ Deciding to drop it, Sehun opts to watch the other male interact with the two puppies, it’s a mixture of content and relief that washes over him like it so often did whenever they managed to find a the little ones a new home. Glad that Soot would be gaining a new sister in the process, he would keep in mind to start walking them together for training purposes. He would even engage them in other activities together just to make it easier on the human in the future. It could be bothersome trying to walk two or more dogs at the same time, but with the right technique and a great deal of patience, even that could be solved. He’s initially surprised at the offer, but would assume that it’s Kyungsoo’s way of returning the favor, and so he offers a small smile back. “If it’s not a bother, then sure, I would appreciate that.” And with that Sehun gets back to his feet, stepping over to the door. “I’ll go get that list then, I’ll be back in a sec.”

@sehun o。ᵛᶦᵛᶦˢᵈᵃᵈ Again— Kyungsoo thinks to himself, shaking his head before he turns to the male. This man must be good at sweet-talking, he tells himself, running his fingers over his nape, rubbing the skin there lightly. One after another, it is another compliment, and he has never gotten used to a compliment. For sure, Kyungsoo will never get used to it, so he shakes his head once more, trying to ignore Sehun's words and shifts the conversation to what matters at the moment. Mokmul at Soot's ear before she barks in delight, climbing on top of the smaller labrador. Kyungsoo holds them close, shaking his head as chuckles slowly spill out of his lips. "Mokmul, Soot is smaller, play nice." He shakes his head, pressing his lips to Mokmul's head and in turn, kisses Soot's small snout. "Then, I'll take your kindness and take care of them like they're my children." He says, nodding at the other. "I can always send you pictures too or videos if you missed Soot in the future?"

@kyungsoo d。ᵃᵍᵍʳᵉˢᵒᵒ Sehun realizes that Kyungsoo might have a bit of an issue where he brushes compliments off like specks of dust, at least that way things wouldn’t get to his head. But he does look a bit bashful, it’s sweet, even though Sehun means every word and praise about those that dedicate their lives to the managing of other people's health. Although when Kyungsoo seems keen on changing the topic of their conversation, he meets him with a soft hum, not one to cause inconvenience upon others. “You’re right. Vivi has given me a lot to smile about, and it’s nice to have someone to care for and that you could turn to for love and affection. For that he deserves to be spoiled. And I don’t doubt that for a second, Mokmul and Soot will be lucky to have you.” Leaning back on his hands Sehun watches the two puppies interact, small smile hinted across his own lips, before it’s his turn to gaze upon the other male with a sheepish look donning his features. “Well, you’re right, I probably wouldn’t. I guess, I might be a bit too attached to these two, especially Soot. I’ll miss him.” He responds truthfully, before offering a small shake of his head. “You don’t need to make up for anything, just take good care of them, that’s really all I’m asking for.”

@sehun o。ᵛᶦᵛᶦˢᵈᵃᵈ He has heard a lot of compliments, ranging from the ordinary and usual thank yous to compliments of his position in the society. But he has never heard anything close to what Sehun has told him. Somehow, he couldn't help but to shy away, shaking his head, lips curl into a bashful smile. Kyungsoo is very sure that he doesn't give any hope to others, but it's nice to know that someone thinks very highly of him. He doesn't say a word later, listening to Sehun's words and quickly shifts the topic of their conversation. "That's the least that we could do as their companions, right? They give us their time and make sure we feel better after a long day at work. They should be given a royalty, so this is the least that we can do for them by spoiling them. I intend to do the same when it comes to Mokmul and Soot." He whispers, turning to the labrador that is placed into his lap. He watches as the two puppies sniff and nose at one another. Kyungsoo perks up at the suggestion, and his smile grows wider. "That sounds fantastic, thank you. You care about the puppies, hm? I don't think this is something you would normally do so, thank you. I wish I could make up for it."

@kyungsoo d。ᵃᵍᵍʳᵉˢᵒᵒ “You give people hope, Kyungsoo.” If Sehun’s first impression of Kyungsoo had been a good one to begin with, then the male kept managing to impress him. He’d come into the shelter, cautious and prepared, dutifully listened to Sehun and asked conceived questions about this or that. Sehun found himself wishing that more people would be a little bit more like Kyungsoo, gentle and respectful. He cracks a smile at the correct assumption made by the other, and nods his head as if to confirm. “I probably do spoil him way too much, but he’s just so lovely— you know?” Sehun merely nods his head a second time and scoops Soot up, bringing him in to press his lips briefly against the pup’s head, before he gently sets him down onto Kyungsoo’s lap as well. He knows that Mokmul and Soot would make for a good duo, for they were both a bit on the timid side and always played nicely with each other. “I could take pictures of them and send to you, if you want to?” It’s not something that he normally would offer to do, usually shying away from human interaction if he could, but he wanted Kyungsoo to know that the puppies would be fine in their care while they waited for him.

@sehun o。ᵛᶦᵛᶦˢᵈᵃᵈ "I guess— when you take away their pain, you can save them?" Kyungsoo asks, tilting his head before he turns to the poodle in his arms with her head cranes closer to Soot, trying to play with the labrador. He lifts his head, ears perking at the mention of the male's pet dog. "Vivi is living the high roller life it seems. You must dote him a lot," Kyungsoo continues, imagining a little dog in a suit and sunglasses, living the fabulous life in the office with a heater, A/C, a bowl filled with pet food and a bowl of water. He knows this is a funny thought, but Kyungsoo knows for sure that everyone has thought of living like an animal, being loved, adored and fed by their human companion. That is such a great life, and he would love to laze around at home all day, staring at moving clouds and befriend the potted plants in his apartment. "I would love to meet him if you don't mind." With a happy glow, he smiles at the male, nodding his head. "I'll make sure to send a message if I need to ask you a question, I promise. By the way, can I hold Soot?"

@kyungsoo d。ᵃᵍᵍʳᵉˢᵒᵒ “You do save them, sometimes, trust me.” Sehun murmurs softly, eyes back on the raven creature scrambling about on his lap, chasing for his fingers whenever he gently pinched it’s miniature snout. Truth to be told doctors did change the course of fate on a daily basis. A person's timeline could be ticking closer to an end, and Sehun would get ready to be there and meet them halfway, when suddenly things turned around, the countdown stopped, and the patient was granted a few more days, weeks, years. Sehun couldn’t manage or control fate, all he could do was show up and take care of the aftermath. But Kyungsoo is humble, and his point of view is a bracing one. “Vivi’s here right now, he’s just taking a nap in the office, getting some appreciated alone time. You could meet him before you leave, if you want.” Sehun raises his head, eyes flickering towards Kyungsoo’s smaller form, bright eyes peering at his profile for a moment, lips quirking upwards. “No, I would love to assist you, if you have any questions then I would be happy to help out. Or if you’re facing any problems, I would like to help you there as well.” He simply assures, happy for a chance to stay in contact with the puppies, and Kyungsoo too for that matter.

@sehun o。ᵛᶦᵛᶦˢᵈᵃᵈ "That depends," Kyungsoo starts, reciprocating the smile with another smile of his. The corners of his eyes crinkle in delight at the male's openness. Sehun isn't a constant member in the mobile application's chatroom that Kyungsoo wonders whether the male prefers to be alone most of the time. However, this exposure seems to contradict his theory. Sehun is a sweet male, and for once, Kyungsoo is thankful that he has found someone who is polite and charming to befriend. "I only believe that as a doctor, I'm treating a patient to make sure that they don't feel pain. I'm not saving them or healing them. I'm just taking away their pain." He continues, explaining his perception before he turns to Mokmul who peers up to him, asking for another scratch underneath her chin. "Vivi sounds like a delight to get to know. I'm sure that when I come back in the future, I would love to meet Vivi, formally. He seems like a cool dog to hang out with, don't you think?" He asks, tone light. Kyungsoo knows that he could never compare children to dogs, but he knows the only similarity that they have and that they are angels. He may not be able to deal with it as best as he could the first few weeks, but Kyungsoo knows, he will learn how to take care of them properly. "Well, I have a friend who is a pet groomer, I can ask her for tips. But hey, I can always talk to you for tips, right? Or is that not okay?"

@kyungsoo d。ᵃᵍᵍʳᵉˢᵒᵒ Kyungsoo is making good points, and Sehun hums along while he listens. It was true, working at the shelter wasn’t always as dreamy as it may seem to the onlooker. It was a lot of hard work that went down behind the closed doors, everything to tame scared animals when they first arrived, to make them realize that they’ve been brought to a better place. To train them, care for them, form a bond with them only to watch them leave to be cared for by another person. “I’m not going to argue with that. But, Kyungsoo, your job is to lift the fallen, to restore the broken and heal the hurting. You guys are the real heroes, let’s not overlook that.” Admittedly Kyungsoo’s words are making him feel a bit flattered, and he aims a small smile towards the male by his side. “Vivi and Mokmul get along just fine, Vivi is pretty chill with the puppies in general.” Which was a good thing of course, as Sehun generally got to handle the puppies on his shifts, and could bring Vivi with him into the room without causing mayhem. Surprise crosses his features when Kyungsoo points out the possibility of bringing two pups home, and Sehun smiles at the prospect of Soot ending up in the hands of someone like the doctor, who would give him a warm home and shower him with love everyday. “Getting two dogs isn’t a bad idea, it would help both dogs to become comfortable in their new home, and they would have a playmate. Although, that means double the work, you know?”

@sehun o。ᵛᶦᵛᶦˢᵈᵃᵈ Kyungsoo quiets down for a second as he blinks, his gaze shooting upward as he suddenly remembers and realises he has forgotten of his career. There is just something to it that he can't pinpoint, but he knows for sure that Sehun's work is as important as his. "We do have to up to superiors and VIPs, so I don't think that part of my career is rewarding. Yours, however, is memorable. I think whoever could offer themselves to help those who are in need and are pushed away by society — not a lot of us could do that. The pay isn't as well as what doctors get, and you guys have to care for them, talk and play with them. There's something wrong with this country, but at least there are people like you, is what I'm trying to say. At that point, my job couldn't be compared to yours." He nods, explaining to the other. "Is Mokmul close to Vivi too? I wonder how many friends Mokmul will leave behind," Kyungsoo raises his concern, fingers travelling through the curls of the puppy's fur in his lap. He nods, listening to Sehun's explanation. That seems heartbreaking to be left by yourself. Even animals feel lonely, Kyungsoo thinks to himself, reaching over to give Soot a pet on the head. "I'll be that one single dad who struggles to feed his two babies but two sunshine in the apartment doesn't seem too bad of an idea, don't you think?" Kyungsoo turns to Sehun, tilting his head, a smile spreads across his lips. "And I don't want Mokmul to be lonely if I have a full twenty-four-hour shift."

@kyungsoo d。ᵃᵍᵍʳᵉˢᵒᵒ Usually, when there was a visitor Sehun would quietly disappear into the background, only emerging to answer questions regarding adoption and pet care. He wasn’t much of a conversonalist, and always felt out of place in the same room as complete strangers. Yet sitting next to Kyungsoo on the carpet floor, a pup on each of their laps and carrying light conversation felt almost natural, and Sehun catches himself with being unusually chatty around the other, where other times he would have offered short and straight answers. “We’re the nation’s backbone? You’re working at the hospital, Kyungsoo.” He laughs lightly, as if the statement didn’t make any sense. “But yeah, Vivi doesn’t like being alone, so this works out really well.” He hums, watching on as Kyungsoo interacts with the boy sitting perched on his lap, heart clenching ever so slightly in his chest. “I’ve been debating whether I should adopt him myself, maybe, but I couldn’t just adopt every puppy that comes in here. And I don’t think Vivi would appreciate having to share.” He adds while running his fingers along soft charcoal fur of Soot’s back, smiling when the pup presses his head into Kyungsoo’s hand. Glad to see that the puppy seemed to be doing a lot better now than he had been doing when Sehun had found him shying away from the other puppies a few days earlier. “I’m sure we’ll be able to find a loving home for him.”

@sehun o。ᵛᶦᵛᶦˢᵈᵃᵈ Kyungsoo figures, he might stay a little while longer for the male next to him has proven to be quite a great company to talk to despite their lukewarm topics. But, Kyungsoo likes it, and he shows it through his shift in his seating position, this time fully facing the taller male. Sure, their topics could be much more tea-like, something to spill but Kyungsoo never like any of those, preferring to disappear into the background walls slowly. There are just things he wouldn't want to be caught in, especially when tea stains. Having someone to just talk about the moving clouds, or show pictures of cute puppies — Kyungsoo would welcome that person. He shakes his head, offering the other a smile for his answer. "It's a good answer and a good reason to be working here. All profession has its ups and downs, and we're just the lucky few who have the opportunity to work for something that we care about so don't think it's weird. And I see you have access to bring your pet to work, Vivi was it? I look up to people who work at shelters, orphanages and retirement homes. They're the nation's backbone." He replies, scratching the back of Mokmul's ear before he reaches for Soot, letting the boy sniffs his fingers first. "I can see, it must have been tough without your sister. And now, I'm taking your friend away too. You must not like me then, Soot." He says as his lips are pulled into a frown when the labrador whines. "I'm sorry, forgive me."

@kyungsoo d。ᵃᵍᵍʳᵉˢᵒᵒ Kyungsoo’s laughter is more ‘ha ha’ than it is melodious, but even so Sehun doesn’t quite mind it even when he supposed that it’s somewhat directed at him. “Ah,” He hums, trying to ease his brows into a more natural expression for humans were a hard kind to understand, they made jokes and they used sarcasm. Sometimes they said things when they were actually thinking the opposite, always more fragile than they realized. He eased himself into a sitting position next to the visitor, crossing his legs at the ankles in an indian type position, placing the pup down on his legs. A smile finds its way onto his lips when Kyungsoo promises his silence, almost playfully, his fingers playing with the soft floppy ears of the labrador, carefully thinking his words over. “I— I really like it here, it’s only part-time, but I always look forward to my shifts. And I can easily bring Vivi along and he can play and make friends. By working here, and taking care of these animals, it’s making me feel less lonely.” Sehun casts a brief glance towards his left and Kyungsoo, before dropping his gaze and muttering “maybe that’s weird?” He clears his throat and directs his attention towards the raven creature on his lap. “Well, I just call him ‘Soot’, his future owner should get the privilege of properly naming him. He’s around ten weeks, I presume, and his sister got adopted just last week. It’s been tough on him.”

@sehun o。ᵛᶦᵛᶦˢᵈᵃᵈ Kyungsoo ends up laughing, finding it slightly amusing that the other racks through his brain, trying to find an answer. Slowly, he waves his hand dismissively, lips forming into a delicate heart. "That's alright, and I was just messing around with you." He readily admits, looking straight at the male who is now standing, towering over him as well as Mokmul who is now two times smaller. The puppy softly barks before she nuzzles closer into Kyungsoo's side. Kyungsoo couldn't hide his surprise as he lowers his gaze, nodding. "That's a good answer. No one answered my question in that way before. I am content with my work, but there are things that you like and dislike about your work, and that can't be helped. Let's say — I prefer to sleep for an hour or two more. How about you? What do you think about your work? Ah— don't worry," Kyungsoo says, pressing his index finger to his lips. "I wouldn't tell the manager of this place." He pulls his finger away, patting the space next to him, quietly asking for Sehun to settle down once more. "And who may that beauty in your arms be?"

@kyungsoo d。ᵃᵍᵍʳᵉˢᵒᵒ Sehun can’t help but wonder if Kyungsoo was implying that people who worked in the medical field would look a certain way, and if that was the case then the reaper wasn’t aware that there was an ideal like that. Hence he didn’t quite understand the question nor did he know the correct answer to it. And so he stands, brows drawn together while he ponders the question for a bit, trying to find the right approach, in the end he sighs and shakes his head. “Kyungsoo, this is the first time that we meet, how am I supposed to answer that question?” He starts slowly, weightening his words while he crouches down to sweep the raven labrador pup up from the floor again, for the little creature had been nibbling on his jeans. Holding the warm pup close to his chest while it whatever exposed skin he could find, it draws a smile and low chuckle from Sehun who turns his attention back to Kyungsoo. “But, from what I have gathered here today, I think that working at the hospital would be a good fit for you. Does it matter what I think, as long as what you’re doing is making you feel content?”

@sehun o。ᵛᶦᵛᶦˢᵈᵃᵈ He sends the male a nod and a smile. "Why? I don't look like someone who works in a hospital?" Kyungsoo asks with a tilt of his head. Well, that's normal, he thinks to himself. He has heard it all from friends and long-distance family members. /You look like you'd best served as a teacher/ or /You look like someone who would go for multimedia or journalism/ — well, he has heard all of them. It's easy to see why; even he didn't think he would be accepted into medical school. However, Kyungsoo likes to do everything to the best of his capabilities. He could do so, but it requires a bit of sacrifice from his half. Other than that, Kyungsoo is suitable as a doctor, and he doesn't want to change any of it. "If I am not a doctor— what do you think my occupation would be?" Kyungsoo asks as this time he is intrigued over what the other may think. With a small thank you, he grabs the blanket and holds it over the snout of Mokmul. A smile blooms across his lips, his gaze softens when Mokmul sniffs at it and pulls at the fabric with her teeth.

@kyungsoo d。ᵃᵍᵍʳᵉˢᵒᵒ "You work at the hospital?" Sehun asks while casting a glance over his shoulder, somewhere in the back of his mind he’s able to recall that the male must have mentioned his profession in the chatroom at some point. Although the reveal now puts Kyungsoo in a whole other light, for he admired them. Not just because they generally made his job a lot easier in a sense, but because they were ready to make that sacrifice and hold other people’s health above their own, people that could be complete strangers to them. For they accepted the white coat as their second skin and the hospital as their second home. And he knew, that wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity. “As long as we’re open, you’re always welcome to visit, Kyungsoo. And let’s say it’s not visiting hours, as long as I’m here then I could still let you in to greet Mokmul.” He resonates while straightening once he’s pleased with the beddings. “Ah— let’s see,” He starts, sweeping a green blanket up that’s been bundled up into the corner of the room, white leaves making out a decorative pattern and the fabric soft in his hands. Sehun holds it out towards Kyungsoo, a small smile grazing his lips then. “This one, belongs to her.”

@sehun o。ᵛᶦᵛᶦˢᵈᵃᵈ At the male's words, Kyungsoo perks up and his stomach flips with excitement at the prospect of visiting the pup every single day, but the joy comes and goes in a matter of second. His shoulders hunch down, and Kyungsoo turns his focus back to the puppy. Well, that would be best since he wouldn't want Mokmul to forget about him and they should try to bond as much as possible before Kyungsoo could bring her home. However, his schedule is never-ending, and he worries that he could only come during the weird while the pet shelter is still open for visitors. "Well," Kyungsoo starts. "That would be wonderful, really. But with my schedule, I might come as soon as you guys are open for visitors or the last hour for a visit. You see, I work at the hospital, and the shifts are dreadful. If you guys are okay with welcoming visitors during those godly hours, then, I wouldn't be shy to come and spend some time with Mokmul." He continues, letting out a small hum as his gaze follows the male who starts to rearrange the beddings. "Right— which bed is Mokmul's? I want to see the toys that she prefers or the blankets that she sleeps with if that's alright?"
