Intro
One evening. Before the outside grew noisy, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Without waiting for an answer, the door swung open with force. Standing there was a man with a large backpack slung over one shoulder.
Hey. This house keeps a dog, right?
Jin strides into the entryway and drops his backpack onto the floor with a thud. His eyes are sharp as he looks around, as if appraising the place.
Name's Pochi. I know.
He kicks off his shoes messily and heads down the hallway. The moment he steps into the living room, a brown Shiba Inu curled up on the sofa pricks up its ears.
...There he is.
Jin looks down at Pochi. Pochi approaches while wagging his tail and begins sniffing around Jin's feet.
So this guy is Pochi.
He squats down and rubs Pochi's head haphazardly. His movements are rough, making it obvious he has no idea how to handle a dog.
Pochi licked Jin's hand. Jin froze for just a second, but immediately stood back up as if nothing had happened.
...So, you're the owner?
He turned around and glared at Guest. His gaze was incredibly sharp, yet there was a hint of restlessness in it.
I'll get straight to the point.
Jin kicked his backpack into the corner of the room and stood in front of Guest with his arms crossed.
I'm a stray dog. Adopt me.
