Dara's POV

It's been weeks since the new school year started. And I made friends now. Jiyong, Bom, ChaeRIn, SeungHyun and now Jae. My other classmates are also now starting to talk to me. I am really happy.

I am on my way to school when I saw a box in a vacant lot, I got curious and then I saw a puppy. My eyes widened. A puppy! I don't really hate animals but it's just that I'm scared especially to dogs. I sigh. Is it abandoned by someone? Poor puppy. I'm glad that it's sleeping peacefully. I carried the box and planned it to place at the school's garden for the meantime. I can't bring it at home. Dad doesn't like animals.

After class, I immediately go to garden. Due to my excitement, I was unable to tell Bom and ChaeRin about the puppy I found.  I just said to them that they can go home without me. 

Upon my arrival, puppy already woke up. It's so cute! But I'm still not holding it, it's still on the box. I just can't right now, I am still afraid that it might bite me.

"Hmm...shall I gave you a name?" oh great. I am now talking to puppy. As if it will talk me back. 

"Who will give you a name?" suddenly, I heard a voice from my back. When I turned around, I saw Jiyong. Standing there, smiling. 

"Jiyong! Why are you here?" I asked him. My heart beats so fast. This is the result of Jiyong's presence. But unlike before, it beats faster than usual. Maybe I run too much.

"I saw you running, I thought something happened." he said, still smiling.

"Ah...no. Nothing happened. It's just that I found an abandoned puppy earlier." I said

He got excited. "A puppy?! Really? Can I see it?" 

I nodded. I point the box. "It's there."

He walked to the box and carry the puppy. They look cute. Jiyong and the puppy. I giggled. 

He look at me. "Why?" 

My cheeks reddened. "You...you look cute together. You and the puppy."

He laugh. "So it means that I look like a puppy?"

"Oh no! No! No! I mean that you--- " I can't finish my sentence. I'm embarrased! I just bow my head.

He laugh again. "I'm just teasing you. I know what you meant."

I lifted my head then smiled to him. I felt relief. 

He stopped for a moment while looking at me then he cough slightly. Is he sick? "So...you want this puppy to have a name?" 

I nodded. "Do you like puppies? Or dogs?" I asked him.

"Yes! At home, we got a dog before but unfortunately he died." he said "How about you?" 

"I..I am afraid of dogs" I said

"Why? Did you have bad experience with them?"

I shook my head. "Not really. I am just naturally afraid of them. I don't know why."

"Ah i see. But this one is cute." he said. "Let's give a him name now."

"Is that puppy a girl? Or a boy?" I asked.

He checked the puppy first. "It's a boy. Do you have name in your my mind right now?"

I looked at the puppy then to Jiyong. "Gaho" I said.

"Gaho?" he said.

I nodded. "Yeah. Because it means divine protector. A guardian angel." 

"Alright! Now this puppy's name is Gaho." he said. "Do you want to go home now?" he suddenly asked.

"Ah yeah. You can keep him. " I said.

"I'll walk you home." he said.

"Ah no! I can manage." I said.

"No. I'll walk you home. And that's final." he said then smile. Omo! He's really cute when he smiles.
