— veterinary clinic--sanctuary

@✽ inah s. Yunho was amazed by how casual and honest Inah was, it was sort of refreshing for him.
He took the water cup and brought it to his lips once more to take another sip before shrugging to her comment about being traumatizing, he gulped the cold water and set the glass down in front of him. “Trauma…can happen with anything but I will say I have seen some knarly stuff and would not repeat even if my life was on the line…” he trailed off with a sheepish smile knowing that he definitely has a high chance of getting PTSD in the future if he saw anything worse and part of him might already have that from all the situations he has been in. “I do like sports, specifically hockey. I do it as a hobby on the side when I get free time or weekends off. Its a tough sport but I enjoy it. Also gives me something to do apart from reading and sleeping.” He speaks while the waiter approaches them once more but this time with their food and he smiled softly to the delivery of the food and gave his thanks to the waiter before taking his fork and began to eat away at his salad. He chewed quietly and then swallowed before meeting Inah’s eyes with a intrigued brow when she said the word ‘hot’ and a low caught off guard chuckle leaves his lips.
“I wouldn’t be that dramatic and say I’m hot. I’m your average looking dude in my personal opinion and thats me being modest just for attention. I actually stand by my statement.”

@✽ yunho j. seeing how she was able to get the cold-looking man to laugh at her playful tactic, she leaned back comfortably and harrumphed softly, pouting even more playfully before shaking her head a few times. "oh you naughty black panther. i'm sure you make more than me and don't worry, i'm not intending on wiping your bank account. enjoying the thrill of being a cop? i'm sure things you have seen and experienced... they could, you know, traumatise you." pursing her lips in thought while looking over him once again, one would wonder why she was ogling him so much in one night, she let out a knowing hum again. "You do look the athlete type. more peaceful and more like a listener, huh? that's nice.." muttering words of thanks towards the waiter, she reached out for her glass of water and took a small sip, her eyes looking elsewhere when he asked that question. "it is not everyday a hot guy drop onto my lap and i ask him out on a date indirectly. plus my staff said i really need to go out more instead of cooping myself up at my clinic or the sanctuary every day. in this town... i don't really have many friends. the only friends i have... my staff and my animals. that's pretty sad now i think about it. oh boy, am i going to grow into this grandma, surrounded by dogs and cats?" a look of horrified realisation washed over her visage and she couldn't helped but to slump her shoulders in resignation.

@✽ inah s. She continued to talk in joy and slight annoyance about her family and Yunho enjoyed it. He wasn’t really close with his family as he got older so it was nice to know that Inah was. Brought a small warm touch to his own heart and maybe a little envious. The cheeky comment and tongue poking out from the female did not go unnoticed as he laughed lowly in response. “I don’t make as much as you do, tiger. So lets not drain my bank account, okay?” He commented before leaning back into the booth and then pursed his lips in thought to her question, “I suppose I enjoy the thrill of being a cop. I like being able to help the common citizen and ensure safety of those around me. It wasn’t my first choice of a job though. I really wanted to be a professional athlete but…it just wasn’t for me when I really looked into it career wise. I’m not huge on being noticeable and constantly around cameras. I’m a more peaceful and listening type of guy.” He explained with a small smile as the waiter nodded for their order and took their leave before coming back shortly with two water glasses, Yunho reached for his and brought it to his lips taking a sip before setting it back down. “Also..asking questions about you will sort of happen the more we hang out I suppose. Or the answers will show on their own. I really want to know why you came on this date..? “ I guess they would call this a date, they are both dressed nice and two people at one booth in a nice restaurant. Normally he would come alone but this time he came with someone else.

@✽ yunho j. "not to mention... little brothers. I have one and when those cousins and the brother join hands... it get very chaotic and noisy. not to mention i'm the only female in the whole little kids cohort. it but it was very... fun, i would say." her eyes rolled at the mere mention of this little boys' gang her cousins and brother formed whenever there was a family gathering and the thought of seeing them every time being up to no good. "yeah, absolutely. every time there's a big holiday, i will try to head back to the city to see them. but with the animals and all the back to back appointments, i haven't been back in so long." her shoulders raised and dropped a few times, her gaze shifting back to yunho and giving him the biggest smile she could ever muster since they first met. with a defiant move of her placing her elbow on the table, resting her cheek against the her balled fist, she hummed playfully and gave him a knowing nod. "I'm so going to hobble away from you if you ever pull a stunt like that, sir. I can be a really good eater. probably enough to wipe out your bank account," she teased with a bit of her tongue peeking out in a cheeky manner. "oh just water too! so.. do you have anything you wanna know about me or something like that? and i wonder what make you choose to be a SWAT soldier?"

@✽ inah s. Yunho couldn’t but to glance up once in awhile to meet Inah’s face as she scanned over the menu because he did find her interesting and a little bit different than most females he knew. Her rambling about her cousin and rambling earlier told him that she was a little nervous and probably didn’t get out much. Which he could understand because he was sort of the same way except he has mastered a cold stone face due to his job.
“Gotta watch out for those cousins…they’ll get you when you least expect it. You must be close to your family then?” He questioned curiously as he tilted his head slightly, only to catch the sight of Inah being zoned out into the menu and be figured she found something she liked. He placed his menu back and then shook his head to her response. “Eh. No need to be embarrassed. These guys are human like you and I. I’m sure they would understand or find it cute. But …if you stumble on the way out, I’m not going to ask for permission and just carry you.” He stated with a smile curving on his face while he then heard her order and his eyes quirked a bit “A good eater huh? Medium rare for the steak though. I can respect that. “ he teased lightly while he noticed a waiter approach and he met their eyes with a friendly smile and then began to order for, “I’ll just have a water, smoked salmon salad with a side of asparagus please. For the lady, she will have a smoked salmon salad, tomahawk medium rare and for drink …” he started to linger as he gestured toward Inah for a response with a smile.

@✽ yunho j. she painfully smiled at the hostess whom was gracious enough to slow down for her after noting her feet and guiding them to their table to which she slid onto the leather seat and lets out a heave of relief, looking over at the handsome date for the night and shrugged her shoulders. "I have been hit in the eye, almost. And the pain, man.. it is something I can never forget. my ruddy little cousin.. i swear i have never felt such an urge to throw all his nerf guns. his aim are far lousier than mine. he probably need the lessons more than me. oh, do i really need a starter lesson on safety?" pouting cutely to throw him off on her needing it, she received the menu and opened them up to give it a look, pondering on what was really good here until his recommendation to which her eyes got glued to the meat section and she blushed slightly at his whisper, in her bottom lip at the consideration of doing what he said. "I'd like to but... this is such a posh place.. what? no, don't carry me out i- don't do that. i'd be embarrassed being carried out because of my heels..." in contrary to her words, she quietly lowered herself, tilting her body to the side a little to slip her heels off and looked over at the male sheepishly. "i should go for some smoked salmon salad and a good ol' medium rare tomahawk. or is that a little too much?"

@✽ inah s. Yunho followed behind the cute lady before him as he figured it would be easier to stand behind her in case she tripped on her heels, since it seemed she was struggling a bit from them. He mentally frowned and didn’t understand why females needed to always put themselves through pain for a night out. He reached an arm over her head slightly to hold the door open for the both of them as he bowed his head to the hostess and was guided to their seats. “I would happily take you on a shooting range someday. I’ll make sure we start with safety though…before you can shoot anything crazy. A nerf gun isn’t entirely dangerous unless you shoot them in the eye.” He teased lightly while slipping into the leather seats of the booth and reached for a menu as a light chuckle left his lips from the compliment. “Thank you for that. You are quite lovely today also. Though..” he leaned slightly over the table with a small apologetic smile and whispered. “If you wanted to kick off your heels under the table in this nice place, I would not judge you for it. I noticed the blisters and I can carry you out if needed.” He said in kind words as he leaned back into the seat and handed her one menu before grabbing another to look over it himself.
“Hmm they have a lot of dishes. I only come here once a year to treat myself, you know? Because I too..usually eat at home whether its cooking or TV dinners like you. But their salads are good here and steak”.

@✽ sehun o. hearing the other being okay with these bunch of excited dogs with their sloppery tongues out and ready to attack whoever cross their paths, she let out a relieved sigh and opened the gate wide enough for him to enter while barely managing to catch an elderly chihuahua putting his paw right beyond the gate which she caught in time at the corner of her peripheral vision. "I'm very glad that you are trying not to drop that!" She said, a pitch higher than the whole dogs' decibels.

After securing the gate shut, she hurried over to this small little hut that is conjoined to the main building which actually had a door to access from the outside. she yanked the door open towards her and gestured to the other to put it inside. "Here it is. You can put them wherever, I can rearrange later on. wait, on your bike? Sir, that is a lot of food you are lugging." Amazed and confused by how a single bike could hold the order she made, she also cleared and nodded in greeting. "I'm Inah. of course, you would know my name from the invoice and all. Pet shop? Ah yes, is it the one your grandmother own? Oh i ask my staff to come down to buy sometimes. rarely, i make a call in to have it delivered to this place. So that is also a reason why I wasn't around there much. I mean, my clinic is just next door so i barely have time to step outside of this place other than for dates or groceries."

@✽ yunho j. "that will be probably funny. if i am a SWAT and one stare from me at the potential future in-law, i can imagine how chaotic it will be. I mean, i revel in such joys. too bad I'm just a veterinarian. nothing too threatening about that." she let out a small chuckle before blushing in response at the way she phrased her words to come off as such to him. "I'm sorry. i mean.. uhm.. just wear your gun whenever you want to. Hah, why should i tell you what to do since we're strangers. i'm really sorry for that." she quickly stepped out, uncomfortably adjusting herself on the forsaken heels and of course with his help as soon as she grabbed his hand. "a shooting range! I'd always like to try though i have to admit my aim isn't good especially with a nerf gun. I'm only good with needles, that's all. Ah so that's the restaurant. Never thought of going to fancy places.. always sticking to fast food and tv dinners are all I eat." readjusting her dress, she started to walk towards the destination and finally reaching the front to which she let go of his hand and pushed against the door despite the blisters already forming on her heels. "This look good.. i mean, this place. I mean you do look good too. Did I ever say you look good earlier? now might be the time." of course, being nervous about this date had her rambling.

@✽ inah s. Sehun looked at the dogs and tried to keep a professional face. He worked with animals; he loved them but tried not to seem too in love with them. Maybe he could handle that later. Or give his dog some pets when he got back. “No, of course not!” Sehun smiled or tried to, clutching the bags in his hands and trying not to drop them. “I work with dogs after all, just trying not to drop this on them!” They weren’t *too* noisy, but Sehun definitely had to shout to be heard.

“Where would you like them? I got a few more on my bike just outside.” It was cute, the dogs, how excited they were to see him. If there was anything Sehun had to look forward to, it was seeing the dogs and other animals around town. He didn’t like Dandelion all that much, but it indeed was a sanctuary for animals… If this actual sanctuary wasn’t proof enough. Sehun cleared his throat. “Um, I’m Sehun, by the way. I work at the pet shop— Like, as a cashier. I don’t see you that often around there.”

@✽ inah s. As Yunho heard the ready words from Inah, he slid over to open the door for them before stepping out and holding the door open for her.
“A big brother huh? I’m not much of the threatening type. I like to reason with people but that would be funny.” He said with a small laugh before perking a brow at her mentioning she wishes he would put down his weapon and be stifled a small laugh. “I didn’t know…you were going to act like you have dated me for awhile, but next time I can leave it at home if that makes you feel more comfortable.” He stated while his dark orbs looked at the busy restaurant and awaited for the lovely Inah to step out with a charming smile plastered on his face.
“Maybe one day I could take you to the shooting range if you are truly curious. I would not mind but only if you are comfortable with that sort of thing.” Yunho then reached out a hand to Inah to offer assistance out of the car since she was struggling with her high heels earlier today that he noticed.

@✽ yunho j. "but have you ever considered putting it down for a day?", she asks out of curiosity and once again look back at yunho, worried that he might be developing a habit of carrying a gun around even on his off days. "even though we are not close, i wish you should put down your gun and breathe a little more. you're a human first before being a SWAT." leaning even more to the side to watch the moon gliding by as the vehicle moved, she hummed to herself and then noticed an elegant building coming to a close and figured that they might have reached the place already. "I have a younger brother and everyday had been nothing but chaotic. I think you'd make a great older brother seeing how you're a SWAT and all. even your own position could threaten your sister's future spouse if you have one. yeah.. i'm ready." she looks over at him with a smile as she unbuckle her seat belt and alighted all by herself without even waiting for anyone to open the door and let out a shaky sigh, nervous about how this date might turned out.

@✽ inah s. Yunho was keen on picking up when someone is uncomfortable but for the most part he can sense that she is okay, maybe a little nervous.
“Eh. I choose to carry. Yes , even on days off I can be called in at anytime. Just like a normal job, if a coworker calls out they call someone else. You know?” He chuckles lightly as he shrugged a bit before watching the female move her gaze to the outdoors, hearing her speak about her family. “Hm. Nope, never dated anyone. Wasn’t really something I sought out , I guess? I was too busy focusing on life and enjoying myself. And..as far as family. I got no siblings. Just parents- but I was always curious if I would be different if I had a sibling. Are you the oldest of the siblings or ..?” He questioned lightly , while seeing that the driver started to slow down a bit and he knew they had arrived to the restaurant. Once parked, Yunho undid his seatbelt and glanced over to Inah with a smile. “You ready?”

@✽ yunho j. her heart palpitated too much for just one date and most likely they might never see each other after unless his dumb friend decided to drop his dog off and forgot to pick him up. turning her head to face him, she offered him her most genuine smile ever and bowed her head slightly. "I guess, thank you? my parents named me that." with a slight chuckle that followed after, she shifted her focus to look outside the window, wondering where the driver might take them to. "even on your off days? no no, that's fine. I don't even know swat officers carry their guns around. i thought all law enforcers put their guns down for the day if they aren't on duty. that is one thing new i have learnt about you, Mr. Jung," she admitted, not realizing that she was still being formal with him by not calling him by his first name. "So.. you have never really been on a proper date the whole time you worked? I do have family and siblings, they are just back in the main city. I'm the only one who chose to move back to dandelion since it's more quieter and more spacious. That's how I'm able to acquire my clinic and sanctuary on a huge plot of land... how about you? do you have family in here?"

@✽ inah s. He watched as she entered the car before stepping inside also, sitting next to her but not too close to allow space between them, reaching over her to click her seatbelt on as safety is his second nature and it came rather naturally.
He then put his seatbelt on and shut the door behind them, glancing over to the driver he gave a simple nod and they began to drive off.
He noticed that the female felt a little nervous but wasn’t sure if its because he was being too upfront or uptight.
“Ah… Inah? Thats a pretty name, definitely suits you.” Yunho stated as he shift his eyes to meet Inah’s, a small smile forming on his lips. “Also…don’t worry. Nothing will happen during dinner. Part of my job is law enforcement ..so carrying is natural for us? I suppose I should have asked if you didn’t want me to. I didn’t really think that deep into it…I work a lot so therefore its normally always around in case I get called into work suddenly. You know?” It was true, unfortunately Yunho was always on call and he never really got a break very often and when he did. He usually at home or at the library reading and minding his own business. “You mentioned..the only family. Does that mean you don’t have siblings or parents?” He knew it could have been a sensitive topic but he is trying to make small talk and keep a conversation going so there is no awkward silence between the two.

@✽ yunho j. as soon as she got the air to clear out from , she looked up once again, even though with her stilettos helping with the height issue, he was way taller still. now that the man have introduced himself and even revealing his name, she saw no reason in why she should be gatekeeping her own until the dinner. while walking alongside him over to his vehicle, she looked up to see the vehicle and was in awe at the sight of it as it was her dream car but a tad too expensive to even afford. SWAT members might really be paid so well. "huh? you rented this? not actually bought? nah, i believe you does drive well.. especially since you're a part of government services," she slipped into the car and then adjusted herself so she could be comfortable before slipping on the seatbelt. inah allowed herself to take a look around the interior, making sure first that it was really what the critics had said before making a decision to pursue. "s-strapped? oh a gun...", she mumbled, her eyes widening in surprise. "why are you strapped for? i mean will something happen? anyways, just in case i do die during our dinner somehow, my name is Seol In-Ah. You can call me Inah if you'd like. You know where I work, right? they're the only family i have so please bring back my body to them in case that happen."

@✽ inah s. A mental chuckle happened within Yunho as he watched the female before him get slightly nervous but he found it cute. He hadn’t met someone who could be easily flustered before, usually people see him in uniform and immediately get nervous so he doesn’t get very far with simple chatter.
Once he realizes she composed herself, he allowed a small smile on his face appear as he admire her rosy cheeks before responding to her question. “I’m Jung Yunho, but you can call me Yunho or what you think fits me the best. Also…no need to feel nervous. I am a simple man and I hope you enjoy dinner as much as I will.” He did look forward to dinner as he waited for her to compose herself once more after placing her arm through a loop of his own, taking a step forward before leading her to a all black vehicle that was waiting for them nearby, he approached a door as he reached over with his free hand to open it for the lady. “After you, my dear. I rented a car because dinner is kind of a distance and I drive a lot for my job…so hope you don’t mind. I promise we will get there safely though.” He gave a somewhat serious nod as safety was his ultimate priority and he actually used this driver before so he knew how they drove and wasn’t worried about it. He just wanted to ensure the lovely lady felt comfortable and not concerned for her own safety so he parted to speak once more but in a low whisper this time, “also..I am always strapped..” he mentioned while taking his hand to pat the side of his hip with a nod, referring to the fact that he always carries his gun everywhere he goes.

@✽ yunho j. for the first time in a while, her cheeks turned a rosy pink from the compliments and somehow coughed violently as she tried to say thanks but ending up getting caught by saliva in . she brought her hand to thump her chest aggressively to get it out before taking a couple of emergency breathes of fresh air. once it was done and dusted with, she took a good look at the male and couldn't helped but to be awed by his overall stature and good looks. "Thank you... and you look dashing tonight as well. I-", she stammered for a bit, just staring at him for a bit and unable to look away until she was hit with reality that she was only here for a dinner date and nothing more. "Uh- i will tell you mine when i feel it is the right timing. in return you should tell me yours." taking a couple more steps towards him, her arm outstretched to hook around his and tried to stay a distance physically-wise. "Dinner is a great choice. Let's go. s-s-sweetheart?" there she go, choking on her saliva one more and she of course had to thump her chest out like some female gorilla on heat. "pardon me, i'm easily nervous and awkward in front of handsome people. please take the lead."

@✽ inah s. As Yunho patiently waited for the female, he heard the door open from behind him and turned his body in the direction of the loving sweet voice be recognized. A small smile playing on his face as he took the opportunity to giving the female a look over from toes to head before meeting her gaze and spoke in a friendly manner.
“You look beautiful. For a minute I thought you would stood me up. Mainly because I still don’t know your name despite the urge to research your Vet Clinic…but I decided to stick with mystery and if you wanted me to know…you will tell me when you wish to.” He stated with a small shrug from his shoulders before holding out an arm in the females direction for her to take as he heard her stumbling earlier probably from the heels she is wearing.
“Shall we go eat? I figured dinner is a good way to chat and get to know one another, sweetheart.” He was definitely a master at talking to people because his job requires getting along with the community and communicating. He awaited for the latter to take his arm while he brought his other arm up to look down at his watch for the time and a nod that follows once he realized they won’t be late to their destination.

@✽ yunho j. grimacing as she tugged and pulled at the black evening gown that was basically a spaghetti straps on her shoulders and body hugging on top of that too, she had to constantly look at the clock to make sure that she wasn't running late. of course with a last minute touch up to the makeup on her face, she looked at herself in the mirror and concluded she was somewhat average at the best, picking up her blood-red handbag as well as her coat to strap over her arm. inah slipped her feet into the silver t-strap peephole orsay platform that would match her dress. it was pretty much sequinned too. she then waved goodbye to all the confused animals who have never really seen her in such a getup before heading out towards the carpark when she stumbled a little, really so unused to wearing such a shoe that she brought so last minute as soon as he left earlier in the afternoon. with her hair tied in a loose bun and her fringe being curled in a wavy manner, she huffed and puffed towards the door, not really noticing the man at the door. "this is killing me. why do i challenge him to a second date or something. it's supposed to be a first one," she grumbled with a frown on her visage and she pushed open the door and came face to face with Yunho. "Uh.......", she trailed off, her gaze casually taking in the sight from head to toe before meeting his eyes. "Hi?"

@✽ inah s. Yunho caught the sight and sound of the female huffing in response, and with a small smile he took his exit from the clinic. Sort of looking forward to tonight but also a little nervous?

(A few hours later)

Yunho made himself appear somewhat decent as he hasn’t been on a hangout/date in a long time. He honestly didn’t know what to wear and put things together in short notice. He decided on a simple plain black tshirt with a dark navy colored blazer complimented with black slacks and brown shoes, his hair done neatly with a gold watch on his left wrist. Parking once again into the familiar parking lot, he stepped out the vehicle and waited by the door for his company for the night. He couldn’t help a small sigh that left his lips as he wondered if maybe he will get stood up but he also was expecting that.

@✽ yunho j. Thinking of her furries that awaited the other side of the door, she couldn't helped but to think of their excited faces every time she come around and a faint smile could be seen on her lips. as her hand rested on the door and she was about to push on it, she heard a familiar yet unfamiliar low voice speaking of the time and dress code and she looked over the shoulder to see whom it was, instantly in that moment, the smile was wiped off. Inah blinked softly and could only let out a high-pitched grunt in response, not really expecting anything out of it. At the best, she might forget about it entirely! but somehow it still lingered even in the back of her mind just as she waved him off with her back facing him obviously and pushing the door to get to her loyal furries.

[] woah- this gonna be fun! :D

@✽ inah s. () I’ll turn this around in this post lol ()

Yunho looked in his review mirror as he noticed the gal seem a little surprised by his actions so he decided to let out a sigh before stepping out of the car and jogging back into the clinic and speaks before she disappears to the backroom. “Tonight at 8pm? Wear something…nice.” He gave a soft smile as he didn’t quite do this and felt a little out of place asking someone out, it was new territory for Yunho. He wasn’t the dating type of guy and would have flings on/off when he felt like it just to relieve stress of some sort.

@✽ yunho j. she let out a visible gasp at how the table just got turned and also not adding to the insults were her staff’s loud gasps. ‘the nerve of him to think i will find him just to go on a date with him. i have better things to do,’ she thought to herself as the offense was pretty obvious on her visage. She had always been so used to getting rejected by guys when she tried to do the same as she did with this man yet somehow she got butthurt by it. As they left, Inah simply waved at Rocky’s backside and headed back into the office once again, leaving behind a cold wave that washed throughout the entire clinic.

@✽ inah s. Yunho listened to every word the female said and kept his usual relaxed but stern expression.
A stifled laugh came out from his lips as he heard her give another rant about his friend, only to see her take the credit card and hand it to her employee, he patiently waited for them to be done, but once he heard that she confirmed asking him out a brow perked on his face then he spoke casually.
“Sounds like you’ll have to find me for that, sweetheart.” He stated reaching a hand to take the credit card back and placing it back in his wallet then shoving his wallet back in his pockets, turning on heels to face the exit but glanced back with a small smile. “I don’t casually go on dates. Good luck hunting me down.” Yunho did not lie as he waved a hand good bye while he walked out. He wasn’t someone who just went on dates. He thought they were stupid and had no interest in finding love. In actuality, he didn’t see the interest about it and did not even understand his own feelings sometimes but he walked out to his car and unlocked the door, opening the back seat and allowing Rocky to hop in before shutting it and then opening the front seat to hop in also and start the engine.

@✽ sehun o. She turned her head towards the voice calling out and hushed the excited canines, struggling to get past the crowd towards the main door from the sanctuary's side and came face to face with a man she might or might not have met before. It could be possible that he could be the dude from the pet store with whom she had placed a order of a big bulk of food to feed her animals at the sanctuary as well at the clinic where there could be patients. getting the food could be pretty costly but fortunately, thanks to the donations, she could afford some. "Oh Brutus.. please. I can't have you scaring people off all the time," she whined, noticing the shepherd dog tagging alongside and have to tiptop due to the gate being higher than her. "Hello! You must have come from the pet shop? Come in! Come in! I hope you don't mind all these cuties crowding you. It's not everyday someone come by," she forewarned as she unlatched the gate from the inside and used her thighs to push away any animal that might use this opportunity to escape from. "I apologize if this is too noisy for you!"

@✽ yunho j. flinching at the motion where the man reached into his own pocket to god-know-what, she instinctively took one step backwards and froze on the spot when it was just a credit card and not a gun specially as he proclaimed to be a SWAT member, taking a while to thaw from her position and taking the said item in her hand to which she swiftly passed it over to the still giggling receptionist. "Well.. please tell your friend to be more responsible for his dog if he gonna have his friend taking his dog home on his behalf. a pet is very much more than just an animal." Harrumphing a few times, she side-glanced at him in a not so snarky way and grumbled under her breath. It seemed he might actually be much smarter than she thought he looked as so and her face fell when his playful banter was aimed back at her, leaving hanging open. "I- I- Uhm. Damn. I must really have done that, it's like... why am i even explaining myself? But yes. I'm asking you out." As soon as the words slipped out of , she winced inwardly once again on why she was doing this to herself, digging her grave even deeper than she intended to. As the receptionist passed the card and the receipt back to Inah, she simply shove it into his chest and flailed her arms as if she just touched something forbidden. "Have a good day! And i hope you stay well, Rocky dear!" She casted her gaze on the dog instead, grinning widely yet genuinely.

@✽ inah s. With the snow melting away, Sehun’s delivery bike rides were no longer a pain in the but a nice change of pace from being locked away in his room or behind the cash register at his job. An excellent way to escape from speaking to customers and spending time alone but enjoy the beauty Dandelion has to offer. The snow wasn’t completely gone, and it was by no means warm weather, but Sehun still enjoyed it. This wasn’t a great bike ride since he was going up this stupidly long hill, so when he got to the top, he struggled to catch his breath.

“At least going down won’t be so annoying,” Sehun grumbled as he parked his bike in front of the pet sanctuary and clinic, taking off his helmet and ruffling his slightly sweat-slicked hair.

He examined the area to see if there was anyone outside. He heard some barks and woofs from the dogs on the property, but Sehun wasn’t sure if they were towards him. He stepped closer to the building to see where someone would be. He caught sight of a woman he vaguely recognized. He tilted his head inside and waved. “Hello?”

@✽ inah s. Finding the woman to be quite adorable, Yunho couldn’t help but chuckle lightly at her anxious movements and threat to his friend. Which made him realized he hadn’t pay for the visit yet, reaching into his pocket once more to grab his wallet out and slip out his credit card, he held it out to the lady to take. “Speaking of money. I owe you some for today. You can also add that fine to it if you’d like. I’d like to save my friend from such trouble.” Yunho spoke in a friendly manner, as Rocky sat patiently.
