Chapter Text
National girl group TWICE topped charts worldwide with their recently released album. Their songs and dance were loved by many. After promotions, they were given a two-week vacation, and the first thing their leader did upon receiving the time off was bring home a puppy. A small, snow-white puppy, curled up on the floor, whined pitifully.
She was going out shopping then, and as soon as she opened the door, she almost stepped on him, but it’s good that she stopped her foot in time.
"Oh, what is this sweet creature?" she asked tenderly of the little bundle, who, hearing the warm intonation in her voice, raised his head.
The first thing he saw was palms with thin fingers, warmth and comfort emanating from them, the puppy rose on trembling paws and allowed himself to be lifted.
“You’re so skinny,” JiHyo pressed him carefully to her chest and returned to the house.
Mina, who was just passing by the front door, was surprised to see the leader:
"You're back so quickly. Did you forget to take something?" Then her eyes caught sight of the fluffy bundle pressed to the girl's chest. She came closer and took a closer look. "How cute," her voice sounded tender, and she gently touched the head with her finger and stroked it.
" Mina , do we still have any milk left?" JiHyo asked worriedly, heading into the kitchen, seeing Chaeyoung there , who was currently taking milk out of the refrigerator. "Okay, Chae , pour some on a saucer," she asked, taking the puppy from her breast, whose nose was already snoring. "Baby, I'm sorry, but you need to eat," JiHyo said in her most gentle voice, placing the puppy on a chair and moving a saucer of milk towards him.
The puppy sniffed cautiously, then looked hesitantly at Mina , who was sitting down next to him, as if asking permission:
“Come on, don’t be shy, this milk is all yours,” she smiled, nodding, pointing to the saucer.
Chaeyoung asked, sitting down on the other side and also watching him .
And while JiHyo was explaining to the two girls where she found him, the puppy stuck out his tongue and tasted the white water.
" Hmm, not bad, I like it ," the puppy thought, beginning to gulp down the milk, his tongue working rapidly. By the time he finished his meal, two more girls entered the kitchen.
"Unnie, are you still here?" one girl asked. The puppy flinched and cowered, looking at her warily. "Hey, what's wrong? I'm not scared at all!" she protested, but then her tone became much lower and softer. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Do you want more?" Pointing to the milk carton, the puppy hesitantly glanced back at JiHyo, meeting an equally soft gaze.
“Eat,” and he obediently carried out her order, happily accepting the affection from the hands of his new owners.
Later that day, when the well-fed and contented puppy was taken for a bath, the girls discovered it was a female. They began to come up with names and nicknames, suggesting the strangest ones that made them want to cover their little ears with their paws. The puppy lay comfortably on the lap of Tzuyu, the maknae of the group, lazily watching the girls, occasionally dozing off, only to wake up after yet another playful squabble between Jeongyeon and Momo.
Surprisingly, the puppy quickly got used to them, although she only knew about them for a couple of hours.
" It's like I've come home ," the puppy thought, burying her nose in her paws, sleepily listening to all the voices. But then her ears perked up, she even stood up a little, and barked at one name:
"Nayeon? Did you seriously like that name?" the puppy yapped again, happily wagging her tail. "Then welcome to our home, Yeowo ," the girls smiled, alternately stroking her head and body.
From that day on, the snow-white puppy acquired a name and a home.
