To Raise a Pet

Description

Nim's pets, are, well, human

Foreword

Hello, everyone! 

 

I know, I know that I have a lot of stories left unfinished but this one was just so, ugh, how do I explain? 

 

Well, it all started with my dog. My sausage-dog died two years ago; he was with me and my family for 11 long years. Maybe it's short for some, but considering that he was a tiny dog who did stupid things (idk why he loved hunting the rodents roaming our house), it was a pretty long time. Anyway, I remember not crying when he died. Because I just couldn't believe it. And now, god, and now, whenever I'm reminded of him, I just cry uncontrollably, it's the ugliest. 

 

Anyway, I discovered this manhwa a few months back, and I just. Huhu, so many feels.

 

And then this happened. 

 

So, yes, this work will closely follow chapters (that I have selected) from this wonderful wonderful webcomic. I won't be writing up to chapter 99 though, so don't worry :)) This will probably be around 30 chapters long, most of which are drabbles (save for a few special ones like the pilot chapters). 

 

In other news, I shall try to explain what is going on with this fictional world. 

 

As the description suggests, the protagonist (yes, her name is Nim) has human pets. In this fictional world, pets have the ability to transform into humans. I myself haven't thought of the whole process, if there's magic involved, if there's some sort of alien race involved. Honestly, those are my loopholes. But this is how I want it to be. Nim's pets can turn into humans, simple as that. Also, I must emphasize on the word 'pets.' This means what society would normally consider as a pet like cats, dogs, turtles, hamsters. The usual ones. Exotic pets, like lions, eagles and snakes are not included. Basically, just the cute ones. Haha. 

 

Okay, now a run down on who will appear in this very random fic:

 

Introducing my first protagonist who actually has a name: Im Sang Il! Yaaaay! Everyone calls her 'Nim' for reasons which may or may not be explained later on. 

 

And her pets are...*drumroll*

 

Se Hun the Cat and Lay the Dog! I've been certain about Se Hun being the feisty young cat, but deciding on the old dog was tough. I settled for Lay because, huhuhu, read the manhwa. I think Lay perfectly embodies (lol, quite literally) the old dog. 

 

Other characters include: the rest of EXO with special appearances by Kwonnie (who is, yes, finally in a relationship with Lu Han, if you read my other series, Roommates. Obviously, this is the only world where they'll get together)! Just a note: some of EXO will appear as pets *wink wink* 

 

Well, that's all for now. I won't be updating this (or any of my other fics) any time soon because university is like killing me. I still like to write though, so...nyahahaha.  

 

P.S. This is not romance. Maybe like, the kind of love you'll have for your pet, but not romance like, the kind you'll have with your partner. Because Lay and Se Hun, no matter how handsome they are, are pets--animals--in this series.

Chapter 2: This made me sad. I'm trying to process it more eloquently than that, but I don't think I can. It's just...sad.
