Myung let out a sigh as Bora massaged her shoulders. Bora was a girl with long black hair and pretty brown eyes. Myung got lucky by literally colliding into her at a cafe, coffee spilled everywhere. While Myung helplessly cleaned the coffee from the waitress's clothes, Bora slipped her a note with her number on it.

"You are so tense. You need to sleep and run a bath. I got some bath petals. They are rose petals, and they make the water red." Bora finished up her massage and pulled Myung down onto the couch with her. Both of the girls were quite young, still childish. They were both mature mostly, though.

Bora tickles Myung, who toppled over in pathetic fits of laughter, pushing the other off of her in defense. Bora chuckled and sat up, giving the happiest smile to the girl in front of her.

"You should get to work." Bora told her, helping the girl up and pecking her cheek.

"You're right." Myung sighed and gave the girl a weak hug before grabbing her bag and walking to the door and getting in her car.

"Tae!" Myung giggled as she unlocked the cage door. The hybrid gave her the most welcoming hug she's ever received, making her feel all warm and fuzzy. It felt nice to get a hug from someone as cute as Taehyung. His tail was wagging at a slow pace, but he was still visibly happy that Myung had arrived.

"Taehyung, I am going to ask you something." Myung told him slowly. "You might want to calm yourself in advance."

Taehyung tilted his head, his floppy ears moving to the right as his head fell that way. He looked genuinely perplexed. His eyes shone something like hope, like fear, happiness all at once.

"My son wants to adopt you."

"Do you want to-"

"Yesyesyes!" Taehyung jumped up and down, his tail wagging so fast it looked like it might fly off. He was now panting from an increased heart rate. "Okay, well I'll sign adoption papers and then when I go home, you'll come along with me, I suppose."

"Thankyou so much!" Taehyung pulled Myung into a hug. Myung sighed and gave in, pulling the hybrid tightly into a hug. This was Taehyung's dream, to feel loved, to feel cherished, to feel hopeful and happy. He was only feeling the beginning of it.
