TIMELINE cycle 3

hiiiii. did you bring snacks?

A few, yeah

reaches for him. a big smooch.
perfect. what do i get.

Did you bring... what did you bri- ahh hi

hi. i brought me.

You geeetttttt... let me see. Chips and jerky annnd I got this big bag of gummies that I probably shouldn't have taken but I really wanted it
I'm getting a little tired of gas station options, but
It'd be cooler if I worked at a fancy cafe or something
Then I could bring baked goods
No alcohol at a cafe though
hands over a bottle of soju

you would get to dress all nice and wear an apron. like a drama.
takes the bottle and grins

Ehehe, they'd probably make me
It would be horrible though. I'd spill everything

hm. point.
dubu barks from under a blanket on the mattress.
...
oh

Excuse me WHAT

i brought a dog

Oh my god Taehyungie
Heol that scared me so much
You should have told me, oh my god
I thought something got in here

we were going to surprise you!
... surprise!

... you can call me surprised, yes
Thought it was some rodent or something, I was about to...
Wait, who is this, oh
Oh, hi, little guy

dubu waddles over. this is exciting!
ahh!!
give him some jerky

Oh, yeah, hey
squats down and holds out a small piece
Hey, do you want this?

the dog takes it. and a little thumb.

Ah!! He's cute!

it's so cute he could burst

Is he yours?

yeah. this is dubu! he's a good boy.

breaks another piece in half and holds it out again because Dubu is looking at him with those eyes
He looks like a Dubu

he is! so. you like him?

smiling fondly, reaches a hand out to let Dubu sniff
Yeah, he's nice
I'm glad he's not a rodent and that I didn't have to fight him

im glad to glad you didn't fight him.

Dubu, will you fight rodents for me?

dubu stares. wags.
...do you have lots of rodents?

Not in here, but I see them sneaking around outside sometimes and it makes me worry
I thought today was the day they invaded

bubu isn't a rodent
coos and picks him up

Well that's... the cutest thing I've ever seen, really

holds him out like simba

Aiishhh, maybe don't do thaaaat
takes Dubu and holds him a little awkwardly

he likes you!

He's really sweet!

he has good taste
and you gave him food

That's true. And I'd give him more
How is he at home?

mm. ... he's alright.

puts Dubu gently down before flopping onto the bed
I guess he's already sniffed everything in the room? Maybe he'll like exploring the yard

oh. i let him look around a little. he uh.
flops down next to namjoon and flops his arms and legs over him
got kinda lost.

What, outside?

mmmyeah

He came back though?

kind of.

raises head to check for Dubu, then turns back to Taehyung
Looks like he's back

i had to get him!
faceplants

Awww
ruffles his hair
The trials of being a parent

it's hard
can we sleep
smooches. messy loud ones.

Mmhm
somehow, in between kisses
I'm tired
... your dog is watching us

more kisses. because what is sleep when you can be annoying.
we can sleep
he wants love!

But I'm giving you love

Namjoon's never going to say no to kissing him. With eyes closed, he slides one hand down Taehyung's side, but something seems...
He peeks one eye open.
Dubu is still staring at him.
... So he moves his hand back upward again.
