"Have you ever told your boss to consider this?"

Lily bends. Turns her head. Her ear. Donghae repeats himself.

"Hyukjae?" Lily says. Picks up his empty plates. "Consider letting guests play with bunnies?"

Donghae laughs. "Yes. It's relaxing."

Lily's eyes drop to his lap. Vanilla Bean is still comfortably on his lap. Donghae's so pleased. It's made quiet noises. Some sound like chewing. Oinks. Lily said: it means he's happy.
