He's feeling bad for coming home late. It's a Saturday afternoon and Sehun was supposed to finish work around noon so he would be home right on time to have lunch with his boyfriend. They haven't spent much time together lately, both busy with work and moving in together. Of course the whole unpacking and sorting out their stuff as well as decorating their apartment to give it a homey feel was done together, but Sehun wouldn't call that quality couple time. It wasn't relaxing, rather it was tiring with all their babies running around and demanding attention. In the end, it took them three weekends until they were finally settled in, and this is the fourth week and the fourth weekend, but also the first weekend in their home that will not be spent with unpacking and moving stuff around. This would be the first Saturday they could actually do fun things together. Sehun has been looking forward to that and he knows Jongin did, too. He's sent his boyfriend kakaotalk messages earlier to say he had to stay for longer at the company; they had to finish some project by today to submit it in time for their business partners to receive shortly before the deadline.

"Jongin?" He calls when he enters their home, simultaneously toeing off his shoes and loosening his necktie. For a short moment, there is no sound. Sehun wonders if Jongin has taken their pups out for a walk but then he hears a cacophony of barks followed by a high pitched scream.

"Jongin, are you okay?" He shouts, and alarmed as he is, he hurries to find the source of the scream. Only, he doesn't make it very far. Before he can even properly step into the next room he's already falling down, stumbling over a yelping pup.

"Vivi!" Sehun screams as he falls, terrified that he might crush the baby dog under his full weight. Luckily, he doesn't. He almost face plants into the carpet though, his face only saved last minute by two hands planted on the ground to stop the fall. His hand is bruised now, his wrists kind of hurt, too, but at least his face is saved from harm. His face is the most important he would say, his greatest asset as it easily convinces business partners into trusting him, but it’s also the first noticeable thing about him after his height and his perky . It’s a face that is nice to look and also the reason why Sehun’s happily dating Jongin now. If he didn’t have this pretty face Jongin would have never waltzed over to him on campus to ask him out for a date.

With a huff Sehun sits up, sighing when his baby jumps into his lap. "Were you good today?" He asks, absentmindedly the damp fur. He wonders where Jongin is.

Two more excited pups fling their bodies on Sehun then and he has a hard time keeping the pups from his face. Jongin doesn't mind wet dog kisses but Sehun has never liked them too much. He wrinkles his nose.

"Bad Monggu, bad Jjanggu!" Jongin scolds from afar, yet the dogs don't listen. They are too eager to shower Sehun with their puppy love since they haven't seen him for half a day which is apparently half a day too long. It's only when Jongin pulls him up that his face is saved from more dog saliva spread on it.

"Hi bae," Jongin chuckles and pecks him on the lips.

"Are you okay? You were screaming," Sehun says, sighing when
