Sunday's morning is a repeat of the day before but problems begin to arise on Monday. Kit gets up an hour earlier and quickly prepares herself for the day, leaving food out for Hobi. Reaching the door, she is alerted by light footsteps quickly tapping towards her.

She turns around as Hobi reaches her feet, jumping around and ready to go. A solemn expression crosses her face and she bends down to kiss the top of Hobi's head.

"Sorry buddy, no park today, I have to go to work." Kit glances up to where she had left out some eggs and notices the plate completely empty. "I'll come back at lunch time to give you some food though."

As though he understood her, Hobi's tail and exciting panting halts. He tilts his head to the side, opening his eyes wide. Kissing the top of his head once more, Kit stands and closes the door behind her, trying hard not to run back to him.

Arriving at work, Kit makes a beeline for her desk to quickly send out an email alerting her other team members of the altered deadline for their project. She schedules a meeting to be held before lunch to go more into depth. Creases form naturally between her brows as she begins the workday.

"Good morning Kit!" Alerted by the greeting, Kit looks up from her desktop to see a smiling Jungkook excitedly waving at her. His grin wavers as he pauses to aggressively rub his nose but immediately continues with incredible enthusiasm. A smile breaks out on her face as her eyes wander to his right hand where a bandage is wrapped around his palm.

"Hello Mr. Jeon. Is your hand ok?" She asks, pointing to his clearly injured hand. He lowers it and grips his wrist with his left hand as his smile falters.

"Yeah, it's nothing really, I was playing with Jimin yesterday and he accidentally bit me too hard. I only bled a little." He awkwardly chuckles. Kit lets out a gentle hum in response as he quietly leaves her to work. Hours pass and the meeting time comes along. Kit enters the designated conference room to see everyone else seated, awaiting her arrival.

"As you all are aware, our time for this project has been shortened. This means we must work harder and make fewer mistakes in the time leading up to the final date." When Kit sits, she opens the discussion, allowing the meeting to begin. In addition to a progress report, each person present had something to contribute, be it a possible alteration to their schedule or a declaration of dedication and promise to the project.

"If everyone understands what is being expected of them, then I have no doubt that this team will exceed our superiors' expectations. With that being said, our meeting is concluded. Relax and have a good lunch before getting back to work." The participants murmur amongst themselves as they file out of the room.

Kit stands and walks out to see Jungkook, who was also present in the meeting, waiting in the hall. "Some pep talk you gave, project leader." He says, a mocking smirk resting on his face. Kit lightly shoves at his shoulder as they stand around, waiting for the crown to dissipate.

"Oh come on, It's not like I could've walked in there and insulted everyone on the terrible job they've been doing so far. I need to be supportive in order to get good results." She shoots back, a tinge of sadness in her voice revealing her dissolving hope.

"Supportive is good, but so is constructive criticism." Jungkook knocks his elbow against hers as they begin walking to the elevators. "If you're too nice then they'll all think they're doing good and won't improve."

"I know how to do my job, Kook." An annoyed tone laces her comment. Seeming to have struck a nerve, Jungkook realizes this and remains silent during the ride down to the lobby. They grab their coats to go out when Kit halts in her tracks, eyes going wide.

"Oh my god, Kook. I have to get home right now!" She turns to Jungkook who is wearing an extremely confused expression. "I'll explain later, right now I need to go!" She bursts out of her company's doors quickly and manages to get home in about 7 minutes due to her fast pace.

As she punches in her complex's security code, she rushes to her unit's door, active scratching heard coming from inside. Kit quickly unlocks the door and an excited Hobi bursts out and circles around her tired feet. Pushing past him, into the house, she kicks off her shoes and falls onto the couch.

"Hobiii you've been so good, waiting here for me." She pauses to take a breath and notices how quiet the house is. "Maybe I'll leave the television on for you before I leave." Hobi yips at her and continues wagging his tail. They cuddle each other for a few minutes before she gets up and heads to the kitchen.

Kit looks through her fridge and notices a few foods that he might be able to eat, checking the internet just to be sure. Making herself a chicken sandwich, she sets slices of sandwich meat and cheese onto a plate for him. He scurries over and immediately chows down.

They ate together happily, Hobi approaching Kit for pets after finishing his food quickly. Kit glances at her oven clock and sees the time and realizes how much has passed. She stands and slips into her shoes, leaving with a smile at her satisfied furry friend.

Arriving back to work and at her desk, Kit stretches her arms in front of her before resuming her work to finish the day productively.

—

The building's lobby is mostly empty, the chilly evening air blowing outside, reminding Kit that it is 8:30. Wrapped up in her coat, she steps into the night where she is met with Jungkook who was waiting outside.

"BOO!"

Kit flinches violently at the surprise, which was also partially a shiver from the cold. "Kook!" She glances around, making sure no coworkers were around before slapping his arm and whisper-yelling at him. "You scared me half to death!"

"Hahaha! I'm sorry, sorry. But I need to talk to you." His smile turns serious and he steps to the side, motioning for us to begin our commute home.

"Is this about me running out during lunch?"

"Oh so you do remember. I wondered if you were ever going to talk to me about it today." They stroll down the street together, side by side.

"Kook, I have some big news. Like really big." A wide smile spreads across her face as Jungkook tightly smiles back without saying anything, high in anticipation. Kit pulls her phone out of her pocket and shows him the screen, turning it on and lighting up his face.

"Is that...?" He begins, gasping.

"I know it seems so sudden, but I kept thinking about how happy you looked and was feeling so miserable with my life and needed something exciting and fun and—" Kit rambled as she attempted to defend her position which needed no defense.

"You got a dog?" Jungkook interrupts her with an excited exclamation. Instantly badgering her with questions about the new pet. "What's its name? Gender? How old is it? Do you need help taking care of it? Do you think our dogs could have a little playdate together?"

Kit tucks her phone away. "Kook, KOOK! Calm down a bit. His name is Hobi and he is one and a half years old. I have no experience in taking care of a small dog but the internet is helping me out a lot. So a play date with Jimin would be perfect! Hobi is so friendly and it would be good for him to form a lasting friendship with someone of his own species." Jungkook giggles at her last comment, leaving Kit a bit confused as to what was humorous about what she said.

"Ok, let's do the play date after we finish the project, I don't want to distract you too much." He agrees.

Kit stops at an intersection, waiting before crossing the street even though it's green for her. "That sounds perfect, Kook. Looks like this is where we split though." She begins to turn to step into the street when a thought dawns on her. "Oh, actually, do you know where a good pet store is around here? I need to get some supplies."

"There's a place I go to, yeah. I'll send you the address when I get home." With that comment and a thanks from Kit, they part ways.

Arriving home, Kit is tackled by a tiny brown ball of fluff and happiness. She bent down to pet him for a bit before walking further into her home to adjust. She checks her phone to see that Kook had already sent the address with a message: "lets go together when u have time :)". Opening the map, it looked to be really close to their neighborhood and she saved the address.

"Awesome, I'll go there on the weekend, then."

Yay!! Another chap!! Thank you so much for your support so far :)
