Chapter Title: Chihuahua Rampage
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Crazy bastard!! Trying to pull weird shit in a dorm full of people!!"
"Come on, A-ra. That's not it, right? Look, he was just lying there."
"You never know! If we hadn't come in, he might've bitten and sucked on everything!!"
"A-ra, you're being a bit paranoid."
"Yeo-ri, whose side are you on?!"
Foaming at the mouth and yapping away was Chae A-ra, while Go Yeo-ri brushed it off like it was nothing new. Eum-a, nestled in my arms, perked up at their conversation.
"Oh, A-ra and Yeo-ri."
Eum-a recognized them too and gave a small smile.
Was it because Chae A-ra was making such a racket? Eum-a's flushed body returned to its pure white state.
In contrast, Chae A-ra's face turned beet red.
"Hey, Joo Ji-hyeok! I get that Choi Eum-a's a rabbit beastkin and easy to mess with, but you gotta pick the time and place!!"
Who else but a Chihuahua beastkin talks like that?
As Chae A-ra kept bitching and moaning, Eum-a hung her head low even though she did nothing wrong.
My girl getting chewed out by someone else? No way am I letting that slide.
'Absolutely not!'
If I let this go, might as well cut it off!
I glared at Chae A-ra.
"Why the hell are you talking like that? Someone might think we're just fooling around casually."
"Isn't that what it is? Rabbit beastkin are in heat all the time, and humans go after that!"
"So, did I do that with Eum-a or something?"
"How should I know! But it's obvious, right? Eum-a's a small beastkin! And you're this scary-looking human just from appearances!"
"Fucking hell."
"What? Fucking hell? You're cursing at me now?!"
"Look who's talking. You came in yelling 'fuck' the second you saw us."
"Hey! Is a guy with a girl the same?!"
"What kinda logic is that?"
This chick... Now that I look at her, it seems like racism and sexism are her default settings...
'She's a total fucking Chihuahua.'
Chihuahua beastkin, the second most avoided after cat beastkin on Beastkin Gallery!
There's even stats saying you gotta steer clear of them more than cat beastkin sometimes!! Her illogic is messing with my head!!
"Can't even boil her once..."
"What?! Did you just say dog meat soup?!"
"Want me to switch it to doenjang stew instead?"
"Y-you racist piece of shit!!"
"Fuck, you..."
"J-Ji-hyeok!"
"A-ra. That's enough."
As the mood turned nasty, Eum-a held me back. Go Yeo-ri held back Chae A-ra too.
Hiss! Hiss!
Me and Chae A-ra glared at each other.
"Ji-hyeok. P-please..."
"Chae A-ra. Wait."
Eum-a calming her boyfriend.
Go Yeo-ri training her mutt.
'Go Yeo-ri's got a good personality.'
For Eum-a's sake, I'll hold back! Ptooey!!
"Hmph!"
"Hmph!"
Me and Chae A-ra turned our heads away at the same time.
"Phew..."
Eum-a let out a sigh of relief.
Go Yeo-ri stifled a laugh.
"Sorry. Our A-ra's like that sometimes."
"Hey! Go Yeo-ri!"
"But she's a good kid at heart."
"That bitch..."
One word from Go Yeo-ri, and Chae A-ra flipped between anger and happiness. Being a dog beastkin, her emotions broadcast live through her tail—no mistaking it.
'Her mood swings are insane.'
Can't exactly ask if she's on her period, huh?
Go Yeo-ri shook the snack bag in her hand.
"Can we come in? We came up to eat these."
"No reason not to. But share some with us."
"What?! Why should we?!"
"Got it. Let's eat together. Want some, Eum-a?"
"Y-yeah. Thanks, Yeo-ri."
"...?!"
Chae A-ra protesting, Go Yeo-ri ignoring her!
Got it! Their dynamic!
'Go Yeo-ri's Chae A-ra's leash!!'
When Chae A-ra starts her tantrums, Go Yeo-ri steps in just right to keep her socially functional!
'Someone cut out for childcare ended up in Visual Design and suffering like a dog...!'
Literally suffering like a dog—my heart aches for her!
Go Yeo-ri and Chae A-ra came in, and Eum-a and I folded up the blanket we'd laid out and shoved it in the corner.
Go Yeo-ri tore open the snacks with her fluffy monkey arms.
Pop!!
Snacks spilled across the floor! All killer flavors, no duds!
"Dig in, everyone!"
"L-let's eat well."
"Thanks for the food, Yeo-ri!"
"Eat up!"
"I paid for them, you know?!"
What'd you say~? Can't hear you over the bitchy Chihuahua noise~?
'Whoa. Hold up.'
Feels like this might cause a misunderstanding.
Just to clarify, I'm not dissing Chihuahuas right now. I love Chihuahuas.
No! I love all dogs, breed be damned! That's me, man Joo Ji-hyeok!
So, Chihuahua owners nationwide, no misunderstandings!
Go Yeo-ri munched on a snack and said,
"Saw your D-Day post!"
"D-Day? Oh, that 'thing'?"
"...The way you emphasize it makes it sound like we saw something we shouldn't have."
"N-no, it's fine to see. Ji-hyeok's a bit weird, right?"
Hmm? Eum-a? Weird? I'm the picture of normal!
"Looks that way."
Why are you agreeing?! Go Yeo-ri! Compared to your friend, I'm normal as hell!!
I'm burning up inside with injustice, but Go Yeo-ri's pumpkin-colored eyes sparkled with curiosity. Sproing!
"Who confessed first? What was the line?"
Even Chae A-ra perked up, clearly curious. Eum-a... looked ready to die of embarrassment.
'Can't blame her.'
Truth be told, Eum-a brought up dating first, but I dropped the line. And it wasn't a normal one.
'Stick my dick in your pussy and we're dating!' Who's said that besides me on this planet?!
"W-well... um..."
Eum-a hemmed and hawed, unable to answer.
Can't let her say it! I cut in first.
"I confessed."
"Ooh, the guy did~"
"Who else would it be, a girl?!"
"What was the line? I'm dying to know the line!!"
Stick my dick in your pussy and we're dating.
"...No comment."
"Aww, what~ Total cop-out!"
"Can't just spill memories with my girl."
Really can't say it casually. For real...
"R-right. No comment!"
Eum-a, knowing better than anyone, nodded vigorously.
But why are your cheeks red again?
"Fiiine. Guess we can't push it."
With me and Eum-a keeping the secret, Go Yeo-ri backed off.
But Chae A-ra was different.
She'd been munching snacks quietly, but now shot me a dirty look with her bulging eyes.
"No comment my ass. Bet you blackmailed Choi Eum-a into dating."
"What'd you say, bitch?"
"See? There it is, your temper! Probably domestic violence on dates too! That's men for ya!"
"Hey downstairs!! Someone fetch some water for the pot!!!"
"See!! Only says the most offensive shit to dog beastkin!!"
"Your hypocrisy is off the charts!!"
Wanna ask who your mom is and how she raised you, but I'll hold back!! Can't trash-talk family in front of Eum-a!!
...Too late after the dog stew drip?
Anyway!!!
"Sorry~ Our A-ra's like that~ Bear with her~"
"Ah, Go Yeo-ri!!"
Go Yeo-ri cleaned up Chae A-ra's verbal crap again. She really needs to transfer to childcare.
Ignoring Chae A-ra's whining like always, Go Yeo-ri turned to Eum-a.
"You two are the talk of the kids. Know that?"
W-what the fu...?!
'This that?!'
The 'You're the talk lately' you only hear in the army...?!
"R-really? W-what are they saying?"
Eum-a, her tender heart startled, asked. Go Yeo-ri rolled her deep pumpkin eyes playfully.
"Didn't expect a CC in our department this quick. Kids feel bad for Eum-a."
"W-what? Really?"
"What about me!!"
"If you're asking not knowing, you're heartless! Look at Eum-a! How cute is she? White and tiny and precious, plus great personality!"
Go Yeo-ri gushed Eum-a's virtues like she couldn't hold back.
Baby rabbit Choi Eum-a, lost on where to put herself amid the praise right in her face!! Now I can't tell if her blushing is heat or embarrassment!!!
"Huiii...!"
Eum-a hid shyly behind me.
"See? Her reaction's adorable! So cute! The best!"
"You get it, girl. Go Yeo-ri's my friend from now on."
"Thanks!"
"But how'd you know Eum-a's personality? She's been stuck to me since day one, right?"
It hit me mid-sentence. From bumping into her at the convenience store pre-dawn to sticking by my side in class, following me everywhere—wasn't that Eum-a?
When'd she have time to bond with others?!
Come to think of it, she seemed friendly with other dormmates too?!
"Your boyfriend knows nothing!!"
Chae A-ra suddenly piped up!
I stepped out and bellowed down the stairs!!
"Downstairs!!! Bring the doenjang!!!"
"Hey!! Listen to people!!!"
Chae A-ra yelled back sharply!
"Didn't know about the group chat for Beastkin University admits from the entrance info cafe, huh?"
"Wha-what?! That existed?!"
"Yup! We've known Eum-a since then! Got close with the girls a few times before semester. We're a million times closer to Eum-a than you!"
"Sure. In your dreams."
"Hey!!!"
Trying to wedge between me and Eum-a?
What? A million times closer? Some things you say, some you don't!
'Eum-a and I have seen it all—nothing left to hide!!!'
I know better than you how sweet and cute she is!!
Where she's ticklish!!
Where her heat button is!!
What position makes her climax!!!
"Arrrrrr!!"
