There, a toy. It lays on the grass seemingly abandoned. Eyes squinting, Yeong would assume it belongs to no one. So he grabs it and shows it to the members proudly.

“Yeong, are you sure that doesn’t belong to someone else?” asks Brian seriously.

To this statement, the dog does not care. But it would appear that Brian is right, as another dog, bigger than Yeong, emerges.

“Yeong, return the toy, okay?” asks Jae nicely, squatting to see him better.

Yet Yeong is stubborn. He wants to keep the newfound toy, not realising that it belongs to another.

“Come on, I’ll do it for you,” attempts Jae, offering an open hand for the dog to drop the toy.

As a result, the tension between the two dogs build. Unfortunately the other owner is not available to help. The two dogs circle each other, ready for a fight.

“Aih, we should have brought the leash,” mutters Sungjin, looking worried.

“I’ll try looking for the owner!” says Wonpil, running off. “You guys try to keep the peace.”

“I don’t think the peace will remain much longer,” says Dowoon doubtfully under his breath.

The larger dog lunges for Yeong, who also picks a fight in return. Yeong probably cannot win but the two are reckless, biting and scratching until a pair of arms bring the Shiba Inu away.

“Drop it, Yeong,” says Dowoon sternly in a voice unlike his usual one, his fingers touching the dog’s mouth.

Startled, the Shiba Inu does. The larger dog grabs the toy and ambles happily to the owner who was brought over by Wonpil.

“I’m so sorry, I thought my dog was better behaved,” the young man expresses apologetically. “Your arm, can I do anything about it?”

The Day6 members look at the drummer, faces turning pale. A seemingly deep bite carves itself on Dowoon’s left arm.

“I don’t suppose you’ll walk around with a first aid kit, so that’s okay,” says Dowoon with a laugh, masking the ebbing pain. “Our Yeong was being rude. We apologise for that too. My arm will heal.”

Yeong, feeling sorry now, Dowoon’s serious face.

“Oy, take responsibility for this okay?” says Brian, knocking the dog’s head lightly. “Our drummer boy got caught in the fight for you.”

Yeong curls, letting a small whine of regret, one sincere enough for the hurt boy to smile.
