It was another chilly day today. 
When Kyungsoo went out this morning he didn't even realize he was stepping in soft snow before reaching the park right across from the university he's attending. It was the end of february, and that means he has to start working on his last assignment for the finals soon. It is due june, as it has been every school year. But this year is special, this year is the final year he will ever have to do such an assignment.
Kyungsoo will soon be graduating from university! Everytime he thought about it he started feeling both excited and nervous at the same time. This step in his life will be the door to his future. All he hopes is to find a decent job he wouldn't suffer too much doing, and living a simple life where he could treat himself to delicious meals from time to time. Everybody deserves that, right?

A loud yawn escaped him as he stepped into the big university building, finally remembering to take out his earbuds. Haa, how he hates having to stop in the middle of a song. Especially when it's a song by his new favourite not well known artist called Park Chanyeol. 
Kyungsoo found him by accident on the music app because of a typo in the search bar, and ever since then he hasn't stopped listening to him and admiring him. Park Chanyeol's voice is so deep and raspy, so jazzy yet sharp.. Kyungsoo could listen to him and only him for days. A night without listening at least once to Park Chanyeol's cover of 'Hug Me' is not going to be a good night.

When he entered his classroom Kyungsoo saw that his professor was already there, sitting down at his table and sipping on a big mug filled with coffee. Kyungsoo really liked his professor, Sir Kim Junmyeon, a lot. First of all, he was so handsome! Especially when he wears his glasses. Secondly, his voice is really soothing and soft, which is great, since Kyungsoo is pretty sensitive to noises and voices. One of his previous professors had the worst voice in the world... sounding much like a croaking toad after it's been driven over by a truck... so loud and unpleasant. That was when Kyungsoo did the unexpected and skipped classes a lot, as many as he could afford. Luckily that professor still liked him a lot so he could pass it without any problems.

The day passed by fast and since Kyungsoo was in no hurry he stayed with Kim Junmyeon and chatted while going out of the university's grounds. It was hard to explain, but Kyungsoo felt like Junmyeon had a sort of.. motherly vibe. It was very easy for Kyungsoo to get along with him, maybe because Junmyeon is so young and friendly.
When they reached the gates and parted ways with a friendly wave to each other, Kyungsoo noticed a silver sparkling clean Tesla model S car parked nearby. Wow, this is one hell of an expensive car. He'd never seen it around here before, who could it belong to?
Surprisingly, the one walking towards the car was no other than Kim Junmyeon. Kyungsoo was sure it is a mistake, there is no way Junmyeon - his modest yet fashionable professor, would own such a luxurious car.. And Kyungsoo's guess was correct. The car doesn't belong to him, it belongs to the person at the driver's seat.

The man sitting at the wheel looked very tall, his head was nearly touching the roof of the car and his shoulders were broad. Combine that with his unique style of clothes, yellow colored glasses, and a spikey hairstyle, and you get a very special looking man. Kyungsoo tried squinting his eyes to see a little better into the car, but all he managed to catch was just Junmyeon entering it and the fancy car driving away right past him. It's none of his business, it's not like it matters to him who it was or what his professor is doing, but it didn't stop him from getting lost in thoughts. He did hear some rumours about Junmyeon dating a very rich person before, could it be that tall man?
Kyungsoo sighed out, his warm breath created a little puff of vapor in front of him. Did it get colder than before? The snow from the morning stayed the same. Bright white spreaded in every exposed area nobody stepped at yet. After tightening his scarf around his neck Kyungsoo pulled out his earbuds and stuck them in his ears.

He was in his own world of melody once again. Park Chanyeol's music really had this effect on him. He didn't even notice that his head was bobbing lightly to the beat when he passed through the park. It seems nobody has stepped a foot in it since morning, the snow is so white and clear for the most part. As nervous as Kyungsoo is for his upcoming school work for his final assignment, right now he didn't feel any of the stress at all. The emptiness of the park was almost addicting. During the summer you would normally see children playing, parents watching over them from the benches, and it would be noisy with life.

Right at the edge of the park, Kyungsoo suddenly came to a cease. Confused by the little sounds he heard from beyond the music, he gently took one earbud out and turned, looking around the kids' playing area from where he stood. It must be nothing.. it sounded like a little animal's noise but he can't see anything around except for the whiteness of the untouched snow.
Kyungsoo wanted to continue on his way. When he gets back to his little apartment he can cook himself some nice warm soup with the carrots he bought the previous day. But the noise stopped him again. What is this...? This time he was really intrigued, the sound is so small yet so desperate. He can't tell if it belongs to a cat or a dog, maybe even a raccoon or a squirrel. With the music still playing through his one harnessed earbud he went to the playground and started kneeling down near various rides. 

Out of the blue, a little black fluffy animal ran out from behind the slide and right towards him. At first he couldn't believe his eyes. Is this a dog? How can a dog be THIS tiny and fluffy? It looks like an actual toy! Kyungsoo's eyes were blinking in surprise when he saw the little critter rushing to him clumsily. Its fur was so curly and it was wearing a little white pet jacket. How adorable. 
Kyungsoo smiled, still a little stunned, before reaching his hand to the ball of black curls. The dog nuzzled itself into Kyungsoo's hand, and he could feel how cold this dog's fur is. Who knows how long it has been out here? No trail of a human soul was seen in this park since the morning. The little cluts started Kyungsoo's fingers with his tiny tongue, and that was the moment Kyungsoo couldn't hold back his inner emotions about the cuteness. He laughed and started talking to the little dog with a baby voice before picking it up in his arms and opening his coat, placing it inside and zipping the coat back up.

Kyungsoo then gently checked the dog's neck for a collar. Phew.. there is a collar. He looked down at it, hoping to see the phone number of the owner, but all that was carved into the tag was a music note. 
"Hah.. really..? Are you Beethoven or something..?" Kyungsoo let out a disappointed sigh and recieved a tiny bark as a reply.

Well, it's decided now. He cannot just turn back. This little cute lost dog would die if it'd stay outside in this freezing temperature. Kyungsoo stayed in the park for much longer than he expected, standing by the outer fence and looking around with hopes of finding the owner, but to no avail. Nobody was outside at all in this weather. He long ago already put his earbuds away and even without music, thanks to his sleepy new friend, the time passed pretty quickly. Having a sleepy little dog hidden in his coat made him feel a whole lot more tired than he thought he was. So much in fact, that he yawned more times than he could count. This is taking too long.. It's not reasonable that a person would leave this puppy outside just like this, not when it has such a fancy looking pet-jacket and a personally carved collar. 

It became darker above him, and even though the skies were clouded, Kyungsoo could still see some stars shining through the gaps. Giving a glance at the little dog sleeping in his coat helped him make his mind up. It's not too bad if he would take care of it for a while, right? Just for a little while, until he finds the owner. Tomorrow morning he will definitely call the pet center to make sure he can bring it in and see if this puppy has a chip that'll give away its owner's whereabouts.

Kyungsoo got back to his apartment on the 4th floor, one arm holding the pup and the other unlocking the door and closing it up behind him. He let out a sigh of relief, his apartment was so much warmer than the freezing temperature outside. I guess no soup today.. He thought to himself while gathering some pillows and an old jacket to create a sort of bed for the little guest he brought over. Unfortunately, the fluff woke up from its slumber, and once being put on the bed-like construction Kyungsoo could manage, began whining.
Such weak little sounds. Kyungsoo's heart couldn't handle it, and after scanning through his fridge he found some chicken leftovers.
"That would do. You better appreciate it.." Kyungsoo then realized he has no idea whether this dog is a male or a female, nor does he know its name, clearly.
"Fluffy." 
He announced. That's a proper name for such a curly pup. The chicken came warm out of the microwave, and Kyungsoo carefully cut it to small edible pieces for his new friend. 

After placing the plate down on the floor and watching how Fluffy ate it eagerly, he gently pulled its back legs upwards and checked. Ah, so it is a male.
"Alright Fluffy, when you finish just sleep, 'kay?"
Kyungsoo hoped the tiny one understood what he said. He couldn't help but rub the pet's back for a bit while looking at him eat. It was just so cute! Before heading to his small bedroom, Kyungsoo made sure to leave a little bowl with water. He also made sure not to close his door, in case Fluffy would need anything during the night. After a very quick shower Kyungsoo went back to check on Fluffy, he was sleeping against the pillow fort he built for him. Kyungsoo was relieved and with careful movements put the pup in it properly. He felt like he was melting from the cuteness, and couldn't help but take a picture of sleeping Fluffy with his phone. He then headed to his room and unfolded his mattress.

Lying face up, Kyungsoo covered his eyes with his arm and huffed out. He was pretty proud of himself for making the right decision. Honestly, even if he would never find the owner of this cute pup, he could just keep it as his own. It's not that much trouble to take care of a dog, especially such a small one. Maybe it's a start of a new chapter in his life! The idea of owning a dog was always floating in his mind as he grew up. 

Wait. Wait a minute.
What is he going to do with Fluffy tomorrow? Or for the rest of the week? He cannot just leave such a tiny dog alone in his apartment. Not only the apartment might suffer some damage, but also Fluffy himself might be harmed.
Kyungsoo rolled to his side with a sigh. So before calling the pet center he will have to ring Kim Junmyeon to ask for premission to bring Fluffy with him to class. He wasn't as worried anymore thinking about it. Junmyeon would definitely allow Fluffy to be there. If Kyungsoo would get a leash before class it would be acceptable for sure.
Kyungsoo then took his earbuds again and plugged them to his phone, playing his usual night time lullaby - Park Chanyeol's cover of 'Hug me'.
