Pie’s life was pretty great. She had an owner that had the same mentality as hers. She had a new human friend in the form of Minji, who also treated Yoohyeon with utmost care. Pie would never admit it but if anyone hurt Yoohyeon, she would not hesitate to bite. It wouldn’t be the first time, anyways. She was just glad that she didn't have to bite Minji.
