polo ponies with @dxtaehoon brick stay villas apartment complex #d202
it's hyunwoo's first week off in maybe years. like, actual time paid off, not because he had to study, or be bed ridden, or forced out of work due to bad habits. no, he had taken an actual paid holiday leave in an attempt to recover from the past few months of studying and working and studying and being a horrible fucking friend and flatmate. the thought makes him sighs as he looks at his phone to see how much of the timer has to go. he's baking salted caramel cupcakes for them.. well, mainly for taehoon, a quiet apology for the shit he had to deal with the past while. it's embarrassing, to an extend, at least hyunwoo finds it that way, some of the things he said and did from stress and anxiety and things pilling up.
he wasn't sure if it was worse because he was working full time on most days or nights and coming back straight to study or what, but he wasn't fully himself for way too long. he feels bad, it makes his cheeks and neck burn red with embarrassment just at the thoughts of how he was acting. he is so forever grateful that taehoon never took him too serious, at least he didn't smell like he did, hyunwoo can only hope that was actually the case.
he is sat in on the floor of the kitchen, in front of the oven and after a while, his gaze moves from the oven screen to his phone again to look at the time, it's decently late, dark outside and despite that, he hasn't bothered turning on any of the big lights. "wonder when he will be back." is all he mutters to himself as the timer finally rings and he pushes himself up with a heavy sigh. hyunwoo's not bothered about calling or checking in when his friend will come back home, because they are adults and worked odd schedules. so he busies himself for a while longer. he isn't the best cook, or baker for that matter, but he spend a good while on the cupcakes. batter and icing, salted caramel all the way. he knows that the cupcakes had a deceiving look, but they tasted great after he had one just to make sure nothing had gone wrong. the whole place smelled so sticky sweet, he is positive that taehoon will know about this from about a block away. oh well, surprise one way or another.
he puts the tv on, something to run in the background while he cleans up his mess. he is just finishing wiping the counters down (scentless cleaning products are a blessing the more he thinks about it) when he catches the smell of taehoon somewhere close, it's faint still, but it enough to make hyunwoo pause in his moves.. taehoon smells stressed, even from so far away it's easy to tell. hyunwoo physically feels like he deflates, ears dropping low and tail slowing down from the initial excited wags of his flatmate coming back home. taehoon's not doing well, wonders what's happened to cause that. did he miss it while he was going through his own mood swings?
he leaves the cloth and the spray on the counter top, he can deal with that afterwards. the tv gets turned off, the rest of the lights get turned off as well, leaving only one tall yellow light lamp in the corner as the main source of light. hyunwoo moves almost on auto pilot. they have lived together for long enough to know what to do, how to make things at least a bit easier for taehoon. he takes one final look at the shared living room and kitchen, debated if he should take whatever leftovers they had out of the fridge and re-heat them, but instead he makes his way to the front door, unlocking it before moving back further into the flat and leaning his shoulder against the wall.
waiting, patiently for taehoon with his arms crossed over his chest, ears perked up and listening.
side effects with @zyradxrandom coffee shop near city centre
he is stressed. he is so visibly stressed in this cafe, he isn't even sure if it's worth the wait for a coffee he would drink in sub five minutes as soon as it gets cold. his hands feel a bit sweaty, his tail is practically between his legs, the ears as way too stiff like the rest of his body and pulled back. he is doing his very best not to pant while in line. the less people paid attention to him, the better, but it was so loud, and so busy, and so many smells and sounds and he feels his head turn square.
yet, hyunwoo keeps his head down, as low as he can have it without looking as insane as he feels. his turn comes way later than he hopes, like time was dragging on just to spite him but he orders through gritted teeth, does his best not to growl or snarl at the poor barista who seems just as overwhelmed as him. but he orders, takes a few deep breaths as she moves to the side to wait for his order. it feels even worse now that he doesn't have the need to think or remember what his order is, he's stood there on the side, tapping his foot nervously, arms folded over his chest and dingers digging into his arms.
he doesn't even know where to focus, what to do with himself, he's doing his best to breath properly but he can feel other's looking at him, he has to force himself to focus on the sound of the steamer or the barista talking to ignore the itch that makes him want to listen to everything and everyone else.
it takes hyunwoo three times to hear his name and to snap out of it, but just as he had zoned out the word, lowkey maybe even disassociated mid coffee shop chaos, all the noise and the smell flood back in and he feels any possible resolve he had snap. he manages to say a thank you to the barista, through gritted sharp teeth and his ears twitch uncomfortably as he turns around to leave.
but it's not that simple maybe. despite being a whole six foot tall man, someone manages to walk straight into him and the freshly brewed coffee he spent too much time waiting for slips out of his grip and lands on the floor, spilling anywhere. it feels crushing, the amount of emotions hyunwoo is currently expiring feels crushing and there is an unsettlingly deep growl that leaves him. his breathing is visibly irregular and his ears twitch back again, tail dropping even lower if possible. the coffee shop goes too quiet all of a sudden and all hyunwoo can hear is the deafening thud of his own heartbeat.
"it's fine-" the tone and sound he makes do not sound fine, it's more of a whine than a sentence. he isn't even hearing what the person that had tried to explain- he hears the faintest apology, something like it "no, no it's fine, it's fine-" he repeats to the person, despite his voice saying anything but that, despite already not looking at them and moving away. he is already moving past the queue of people, towards the door, doing his absolute best to not run anyone over.

hyunwoo should know exactly the day this all started. he doesn't.
he knows roughly when he got friendly with hajun, it all started with a few bad shifts when he had just graduated from the police academy and started working as a patrolling officer. the emt's were there every single time when he had arrived with his partner and hajun was kind enough to stay behind, give a statement or two. honestly speaking, hyunwoo was and still is extremely grateful because it felt like at least someone knew what they were doing at the scene. yes, his partner left him to fend for himself with the statements.
so from there, it was pretty easy. hyunwoo could smell hajun from what felt like miles away, and it wasn't like he was always there because it was nice to be there, they were working after all.. but hyunwoo couldn't help but feel some type of normalcy, appreciation to have a familiar face and smell at the scene. things just went from there. it would be a routine, work related at least, and every now and again hyunwoo would show up to just check in on hajun whenever he smelled him in the perimeter. could have been an event, just patrolling, random encounter- whether it was before mid, during or after a shift, hyunwoo made the effort to pop by wherever he could smell hajun.
it wasn't long after that he gave the emt medic his phone number, the personal one, to hang out sometime. which very quickly turned into the following unsaid agreement.
hyunwoo has memorized hajun's shifts, it was easy, but they were also written in his notes app - just in case he forgot, but they would organize chill get togethers like these. where hyunwoo would message him roughly ten-fifteen minutes before he makes it to his front door if he wanted anything from the shop. he would get whatever the other wanted, a drink or two for himself. sometime he brought alcohol, if he knew they both weren't on call or had work the next day.
today was a bit different, today he is awfully cheerful.
usually, hyunwoo would go and spend time with hajun to have some peace and quiet, have a chat, most likely fall asleep on his couch (happens way too often to admin, and yes, he was embarrassed about it the first like, five times), watch a movie or just enjoy each other's company over some good food. that was the usual. he would go to his friend whenever he was overstimulated and hajun seemed to understand him quite well on that front.
today they had something to celebrate - hyunwoo passing his detective exam.
just the thought of having that whole experience behind him is enough to bring such a wide smile on his lips his cheeks hurt and the tail wags even faster. he's in such a good mood when he finally reaches hajun's flat, grocery bags filled with soju and beer bottles, bunch of snacks and whatever else hyunwoo thought was a good idea to bring. he hadn't exactly told hajun about the results, he had told him a few months in advance that he would be taking the exam, but nothing more.
he rings the bell, waits patiently- as patiently as he can, because hyunwoo gets even more excited when he hears hajun padding closer to the door. he almost jolts forward when the door opens, he has to physically stop himself from hugging his friend instantly.
"aye man, long time no see." he says, grin wide and bright as he does his best to not throw himself at hajun.
if found, return to owner present, brick stay villa apartment complex starter for @rover-dx
her mother usually doesn't ask whenever she requests something. as if she never cared enough to be interested in her own daughter's endeavors. sometimes narae wonders if she ever does anything illegal, would her mother even bat an eye or would she just tell her that everything will be find in that submissive tone that she always has.
so when narae informs her mother that she'll soon begin training canine familiars, her mother just nodded and said she'll have someone bring over some breeds that she could try and bond with. nothing more, nothing that fully shows narae that her mother would care more than she lets on or that she imagines.
that's how she ended up with three dogs that week. and while she is used to dogs running around the house back when she lived with her parents in the north side, she was never the one to take care of them really. she did do her best to research as much as she could, knowing that articles and videos online may never prepare her from what is to come.
and how unprepared was she that now she's pacing around her apartment, two dogs following her steps (as well as one cat and about 10 different bird species). she has her hands poised on her hip, thinking through what could've went wrong. she stops walking abruptly, bends down to face the two dogs in front of her. they're not completely bonded yet so her communication with them is somewhat garbled. but she still asks, "you really don't know where she went?" the dogs whimpers and she sighs.
she turns to the door, shuffling into her shoes. she turns to the animals in her living room, all looking at her expectantly. "i'll be back quickly, don't cause any trouble while i'm away," she says, making eye contact with each of them. "and suki- you're in charge." her cat, the only feline she's ever bonded with is the one she trusts the most in this bunch.
she goes out of her apartment building, not really knowing what to expect. she does about one loop around building a, doing the same around building b, keeping her eyes peeled for a german shepherd. and how does one lose a german shepherd, you ask? narae would like to know too.
if hyunwoo didn't know better, he would think that his colleagues were just there to mess with him. yes, of course, give the lost dog to the dog boy. the thought alone would make him sigh if it was the first time this had happened. the workload of lost dogs was split between his dad and him, just to make it easier, just because it was easy to communicate with them, so it made sense.
it made sense when it usually took hyunwoo less than a few minutes to get the dogs back to their owners. a few questions, a leash popped on the collar and he was on his way to where the owner lived. doggo returned and he got to do his regular boring work.
however, of course, this wasn't gonna be that easy was it?
he doesn't get the dog. he gets the majority of it, but it feels like he is drunk. under water, muffled. his father tells him he is losing his touch, he needs to step up his game. until he hears the exact same jumble of words come out from the dog and they all sit in silence for a few minutes. anyway, hyunwoo is not losing his touch. he just knows someone somewhere is tempering with the dog one way or another.
he can't smell anything specific on the dog, there is no chip, nothing on the collar to say who to call or what to do. he gets that the dog's name is gyuri, that he understands almost instantly, he also knows the vague area in which the owner lives, but he wasn't able to locate them. they have been walking around the area for a few days now, in the hopes that someone recognizes the dog… hyunwoo thinks it would be easy, it was a german shepherd for fucks sake, how do you lose a massive and loyal dog like that. the thought alone was enough to make the ears on his head lower, nose scrunching. he hears a whine from gyuri and shakes his head.
"no, it's fine, just thinking about the work i have at the office." half lie, half truth, he doesn't care if the dog can tell. but anyway, they were back in the area he lived in, literally walking around the same stupid buildings because he didn't think he needed to knock on every person's door to see if anyone was missing a dog. yet.. it had been three days and maybe hyunwoo should rethink his strategy. "you sure we are in the right location? i know i live here and so have you for the past few days, are you sure your owner is in this area?" he asks, getting a huff and a puff from gyuri and he rolls his eyes. "fine, fine, lets do a few more laps." he says, getting up from the bench they were resting at and heading for yet another lap around the buildings.
