conquering one's fear
Fated...
Youngbae went inside his dorm and called for his Dog. Boss came running greeting Youngbae happily.
“Yah, you will get to see Marge again! So you better behave ok, don’t pull the trick you did at the Han River, araso?” he told his dog, Boss just looked at Youngbae with his bright black eyes and wagged its tail excitedly.
Youngbae tied the leash on boss and grab a pack of dog treats both for Boss and Gaho, as he heads to Marge’s unit across the hall. He reached the door and knocked. He heard UJ yell from the inside, just come in its open.
He went inside Marge’s unit and saw UJ sitting Indian style in front of the laptop, with giant books sprawled all over. Uj raised his head and looked at Youngbae.
“Hi” he greeted him, and look at the dog. “So that’s the dog that brought you guys together huh?” he said and went back to scan one of the books.
“Neh, he said taking a sit, so what’s with that?” he said pointing at the screen.
“oh, a report on vasectomy. I have to give a lecture about nursing care, post vasectomy.” He said, leaving Youngbae confused. Just then Marge came out of her room. Boss stood up and barked in greeting wagging its tail. Marge just stood at her door and looked from boss, to its leash to Youngbae who was holding it tightly, she shake her head and said “Good Doggy!” but still walk away from boss.
“Sit,” Youngbae ordered Boss, “Take it slow, don’t scare her.” He said looking at Marge.
“Here, Marge said to UJ. I got better images of the vas deference and a complete analogue pic of the procedure.” She told UJ handing him a memory stick. “Let’s go!” she told Youngbae, but was standing far away from him.
“Come here!” Youngbae motioned for Marge to come on over. “Let me properly introduce you two.” Youngbae joked.
“Anyeong!” Marge greeted Boss. Boss stood up again and barked at her with tail wagging. He was looking from Youngbae to Marge.
“I think the dog likes you hon!” UJ said, he was observing everything.
“I agree, I have never seen him response to anyone like this.” Youngbae said. “Come here, sit behind me.”
Marge sat behind Youngbae as Boss look at her. She hid behind him the moment Boss put his front paws on Youngbae knees. Marge like dogs, she likes looking at them, but she just can’t touch them.
Youngbae took Marge hands, “trust me!” he said and kissed her cheeks, then he slowly guided Marge hands to pat Boss’s head. Marge let a whimper when she felt something warm and hairy. She can’t believe it she was actually patting a dog. Boss just stayed still, looking at Youngbae and Marge with his bright big eyes.
Youngbae has a big smile on his face, he was able to make Marge come near Boss, Marge on the other hand also was smiling, and she was slowly conquering her fear of dogs. UJ thought that this is a picture perfect moment so he took the picture of the three without them noticing.
“You three look like a family!” he said. “Well more likely a really really romantic couple!” he said handing Youngbae the camera.
“We do look great
