#jongin-tlou

Haha was a man child who felt the need to play with every stray dog that set its paws on Main Street. But something was different today. 

It was pouring rain, the worst rainfall in weeks. Haha was rushing home, hoping to plug up the leaks that probably flooded his rickety home. Something caught his eye. It was a cardboard box; with "puppies" written in messy black marker. Haha raised his head to see an old man sitting next to it in a chair, patiently waiting. He stumbled to a stop next to the box, examining the inside. There laid one small golden retriever, curled up and shivering, its thick fur dampened. Haha felt a surge of guilt. He learned how to harden his heart, but the poor thing was getting to him. He sighed as he pulled out a chocolate bar to exchange. The old man nodded and accepted the offer, letting Haha hold his new puppy.

It sneezed, which he found adorable. As cute as it was Haha knew he couldn't keep it alive for very long, he was a busy man, he couldn't feed it or play with it.

In the mist of crisis, he noticed a man was standing next to him. He jumped back, startled by the young man's sudden appearance.  

"You scared the living living daylights outta' me!" Haha yelled. Kai bowed apologetically.

"Sorry hyung-nim." he quietly replied.

"I see you bought the last puppy."

A hint of sadness was detected in Kai's voice. Was he going to get buy this puppy? Haha thought. The next few moments were spent making small talk, Haha letting the man pet the golden retriever's slick fur.

The mechanic remembered his flooding home, and placed the puppy in the other man's arms. Kai was surprised, giving Haha a wide eyed look. Giving gifts in Zone X was very rare. 

"You're giving this to me?" he asked.

Haha nodded and ran past him.

"Yeah sure kid! Take good care of him!" Haha called out as he kept running.

Before Kai could get in another word Haha had already disappeared in the distance. He shrugged, petting his new puppy in a soothing manner.

Jieun sighed as she lifted another heavy box full of rotting paper and musty old books, carrying it outside. The hot sun beat down on her, making her hair stick to her forehead from sweat, the wiping of her forehead with her arm only making things worse. Her arm was equally drenched in sweat and she was pretty sure the rank smell in the air was coming from her. Someone seriously needed to recreate the Deodorant concept. But when you have death looking you in the face on a daily basis, body odor just seemed like a non existent concern. 

Making her way back into the crumbling old building, she tired her best not to trip over loose laying beams. She seemed to be the only one on clean up duty today and she sighed in frustration. There was no way she could get enough done by herself and the school needed to be reopened asap. This is the result of the military getting to involved with the civilians. "Idiots." She mumbled as she loaded another box. Last week a group of soldiers had a bit too much to drink and managed to set the building on fire. Luckily no one was inside. She had happened to be out looking for food at the time, or she might not have made it herself. All of her clothes were now ruined aside from the ones she had on and all of her precious belongings, the things that held her to her past were gone. Not that that was necessarily a bad thing.

Luna grimaced and cricked her neck. She rose from the couch where she'd fallen asleep last night. The banging on the door was frantic and it set her nerves on edge. Before running up the stairs she hurriedly grabbed the switchblade from the drawer. Up at the top of the stairs, she looked through the peephole of the door and gasped.

"Jongin?" she asked, opening the door and surveying the young man. He was sweating and out of breath - his skin looked pallid and goose bumped. It must be early, she could see the sunrising over the horizon.

It worried her, but she relaxed her posture. She was safe but... but he never came so early to pick up his mother's medicine. Never in such a dishevelled state either.
