It was a Sunday morning and she just finished her morning walk with her dog. Clearly, her dog isn't an active one so she's the one pushing him to it. It gets them both on the move so a tandem exercise is best for both of them. She isn't that active either so she knows her baby takes after her.

She pants hard, while carrying her dog, climbing the last flight of stairs up to their apartment unit. This is why she hesitates going out too much from their unit. She's too lazy to take on the stairs and stairs is good for the heart bull doesn't convince her, because she felt like dying for running out of breath. What if they had a run? She would've laid flat in the ground of the park and never move again.

"Yah, Dalgom. You should be climbing this with me." She ranted but her dog just stayed chill in her arms.

As she was almost halfway up, another set of footsteps caught her attention. A tall girl appeared before them and it took a lot of willpower for Jisoo not to faint.

Holy mother of hot people.

"Good morning!" The girl beamed, and Jisoo just looked at her, with agape.

Lisa.

Damn that girl. How dare her flaunt her abs so early in the morning while I'm trying to keep my breathing stable here????

Jisoo just looked at her with a dead expression, but that didn't really bother Lisa. She just continued going down the stairs, almost missing Jisoo's subtle nod. The other girl's eyes followed her until she was gone. Dalgom barked.

"I looked stupid? Way to state the obvious, Dalgom. Thanks!" 

She stomped her feet to the rest of the climb on the stairs. They were in front of their unit and she put down Dalgom to insert the key. She glanced at the door on her right and whipped her head back to her door. She slammed the door once they got in.

Two hours left before office hours end. She likes her job, to be honest. But today just seemed like a very long day and a boring one at that. She works for a publishing company and her position as a commissioning editor is a dream come true for a bookworm like her. She was almost done for today's work, finding and approving new books to be published. The new ones are great but nothing special so far, as some of them aren't really finished yet, so they're still being processed.

Her phone vibrated on her desk and Taehyung's face and number flashing on her screen. She picked it up.

"Hey, Tae."

"Noona! I'm on my way to your apartment. I'll pick up my stuff that I left last time. Are you home?"

"No, I'm at work. But yeah, go ahead. You have your key, right?"

"Yeah, I have it with me. I'll just grab them and go to this new audition I signed up."

"Alright. Good luck with your audition, charmer!" She smiled.

"You know it. Thanks, noona!" 

Her brother ended the call and she sat back again, doing nothing. Maybe she should try cooking in the office like the woman she saw on Facebook named Ms. Yeah. Now, she just needs to find some stuff for cooking improvisation without using actual cooking tools...

  ------------------------------------------------------- 

The evening rush hour was a pain in the neck but she's thankful that she still got home early despite the traffic. She just wanna order in some good food and watch a new mysterious series, while cuddling her dog.

As she closed her apartment door, she noticed something odd. Dalgom is not there to welcome her as he usually does. But then, she didn't make it a big deal and maybe her dog is just at some corner, sleeping. She went to her room and changed into some comfortable clothes before coming back out.

She went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. She glanced around the apartment and called out her dog's name.

"Dalgom? Where are you?"

She roamed around her unit, checking under the table and the sofa, inside the storage room and even in the bathroom, but she couldn't find her dog. She knows her dog could be lazy sometimes, but he responds to her when she calls him. She heard nothing at all.

Panic is rising in her. Where could her dog go? Dalgom is not like other dogs to sneak out. Her dog is a home buddy and they usually just play indoors. 

She opened her phone and dialed her brother's number.

"Pick up, Taehyung. Come on!"

"Hey, you've re
