Artist / Character: Kim Seonho
âWeâll find him,â Seonho reassured your son who was in tears after having spent a whole day looking for the missing dog. âI promise weâll find him.â
You stood by the bedroom door listening into the conversation, just having gotten off the phone with yet another animal shelter attempting to find out if any dogs matching the description of yours had been brought in with no result. Heâd been missing for two days now and your son was inconsolable.
âBut Daddy-â your son, Jinho, sobbed, clinging to his chest.
âI promise weâll find him. Donât worry, okay?â Seonho said once again. âWhy donât you try taking a nap, hmmm?â
Jinho sniffled, wiping his nose with the sleeve of his sweater before nodding as he pulled away. You entered the room just them going over and hugging him as tightly as you could with the growing bump you adorned.
âGet some rest okay baby?â you whispered, pressing a kiss to the top of his head.
He lulled in your arms, before eventually falling asleep. As gently as you could, you laid him down on his bed with Seonhoâs help before the two of you left the room, going into the living room.
âNone of the shelters have brought in any Cocker Spaniels,â you told him softly. âWhat are we going to do?â
Seonho sighed deeply, wrapping his arms around you, âWeâll find him eventually. He couldnât have gone far-â
âItâs been two days, Seonho. He could be anywhere.â
He knew you were right, but he also knew he needed to have hope that the small dog would be found.
âItâs still early. Iâll go take another lap around the neighborhood,â he posed. âYou stay here and call me if he does end up showing up.â
You sighed and nodded, âAlright. Be careful.â
You followed after Seonho as he went to the door, stuffing his feet into a pair of boots and pulling on a coat. As he opened the door the two of you froze seeing the small dog sitting there patiently wagging his tail as if he hadnât caused pandemonium inside your home for the past 48 hours.
âBentley?â you called out getting a happy bark in response as the dog got up and ran to you, circling your feet.
Seonho laughed as he crouched down, picking the troublemaker up and pressing kisses to his furry head, âJinho is going to be glad to see you!â
