when the first volunteering opportunity was announced, sehoon wanted to sign up right then and there. after all, who wouldn't want to volunteer at an animal shelter? being a huge animal lover that he is and a self appointed furbaby uncle who absolutely love to spoil every charm members' pets, it would have been a lot weirder if he didn't sign up. besides, even after all these years, he still doesn't trust himself to be responsible enough to actually care for a pet, so volunteering at a shelter was the next best thing he can do.
with how busy they'll be for the next few weeks, spending a day to play and care for the cute animals will be a good way to replenish some energy. god knows he's going to need it, among other things. it was a day after their dome tour concert in japan. he’s probably still going to be so out of it but if there’s a will, there’s a way, right? he should be fine - and he was right.
it’s always love at first sight with animals no matter where he is, so it only took him a solid few seconds of eye contact with them and he’s reduced into a puddle of goo. it was regrettable that he only had two hands or he could have given more (if not all) of them some well deserved belly rubs. it was always easy to fall in love with the bunch of them, even those who took a while to warm up to him. probably the hardest part in this type of volunteering for him is that he almost immediately gets attached, and who wouldn’t be when you see their happy tails wagging as they stare at you with their expectant eyes. the mere thought of leaving them at the shelter at the end of the day is heartbreaking.
sehoon ends up taking lots of photos and videos with the cute furballs. from the silliest one he could find to the most behaved ones. the phrase time flies when you’re having fun rings true for him, and before he knows it it was time for him to leave - something easier said than done, especially when a few of them ended up tailing after him a few times. he makes it a point to make this some sort of routine, and maybe takes this chance to encourage more people to adopt. every single one of those cuties deserve a loving home, after all. those photos and videos he took will definitely come in handy.
