Wook tackles Brian.

“Wook, sit,” says Sungjin, but the Shiba Inu continues jumping at the said boy.

Finally, the little dog manages to get his paws on Brian’s workplace tag. He had forgotten to take it off.

“I think Wook is telling us to go search at Brian’s workplace,” muses Jae.

“But I don’t think I even brought it there?” mutters Brian.

“Uh, are you sure about that?” questions Wonpil, showing one of his selfies. In the workplace background, there is a cap that suspiciously looks like his.

“It was a hot day today so maybe you wore the cap without realising,” suggests Dowoon.

“Well….” groans Brian. “I’m a silly then.”

“No need for all of us to go running over there,” declares Sungjin. “Who’s up for a little run after dinner?”

“I can go,” says Jae and Wonpil simultaneously.

They look at each other and laugh helplessly.

“Okay, I can feel all that love and determination,” says the leader in amusement. “Bring Wook along for a walk, we might as well.”

“I’ll keep the house clean with Sungjin,” says Dowoon seriously before breaking into an insolent smile.

“Did you forget me,” mumbles Brian.

“You’re so tired, you’ll fall asleep on your sofa,” replies Dowoon with a twinkle in his eye.

Anyhow, the duo make their way to Brian’s workplace. Wook ambles along, happy due to the unexpected walk. Things look different in the night, with the moonlight filtering into the streets. The boys make it a game to avoid the cracks in the pavements, and there are bonus points for silly leaps.

“Is there anyone left?” says Wonpil, peering at the workplace building.

“There!” says Jae in an almost shout, causing the other boy to hush him. “There’s a light still.”

They sneak in, though Wook pushes his way in, startling the last few workers for the day. Jae explains the need for the missing cap, and they produce it.

“Thank you, and have a good night,” says Wonpil politely.

On the way back, the boys update their group chat on the situation, that the cap had been acquired.

“I still can’t believe I brought the cap out,” is what Brian insists.
