“sit.”
‘egg’ ignores him. hanbin flinches.
perhaps it had not been jaewon’s smartest move to leave a wanderlust-stricken hedgehog with one kim hanbin, a man whose extent of admiring domesticated animals is through a pursed smile and furrowed eyebrows.
but alas, our story begins with the real egg running quickly out of alpha’s dorms, with hanbin chasing its tail. naturally, hanbin can easily outrun the small creature, but he doesn’t know if he can pick it up, let alone how to pick it up without hurting himself in the process. and so the story continues, with egg the hedgehog running madly around featuring hanbin’s flustered hands hovering over egg’s petite body, but never quite touching it.
the end comes all too quickly, and it can be described as egg’s quick escape into the infamous jaeger dorms, and hanbin’s right palm splayed over an open mouth. no way in fuck is he stepping foot in there.
and so this is how he ends up here, in the middle of his room, staring at a newly bought hedgehog that is admittedly a few shades darker than the real egg.
“egg.”
the replacement hedgehog blatantly ignores him. hanbin runs his fingers through his hair in exasperation.
he hears rather than sees jaewon’s entrance, and he stands quickly at attention while wearing the face of a man who has completely, absolutely fucked up.
“oh, hey. you’re home early…”
the smile is all too late and all too fake.
regardless, hanbin slides ‘egg’ over to jaewon with his foot.
“take your uh… egg.”
fuck.
