11. The pup can talk

I am done with all my office work now, the only thing remaining is the check over the patrolling team, it's nine now, and I am returning home. I guess I can have a meal with everyone today. And after that, I can go for the check if Jeon-soo is free by then he can come with me.

I wrap up the work, placing everything in its original place. I put the controversial files I was working on before into my locker and locked them after putting in some more stuff.

While placing the files back into the locker suddenly my hand bumped into something and a box fell from there. I bent down to the floor to pick it up, it was an old box, I didn't remember when I last saw it. I have put it deep inside the locker, to keep it safe and away from my sight...

The wood has turned darker in color, I turned it around, and my name is still vaguely visible on it, Ryan, that's my dad's handwriting, he engraved my name on it by himself.

It's a family heirloom, instead of giving it to my elder brother he gave that to me, I was too happy when I received it, I remember my brother was full of jealousy when his father gave me that but our father said to my brother that I would be the one to protect this family heirloom and brother will be the one to protect me. I remembered my brother smiling brightly at me promising to protect me.

A small smile formed on my face, remembering all those memories. I kept this away back then because it made me cry, and crumbles me whenever I saw it but now I think it's better than before or I can say I can handle myself better.

"I think I should keep this out to show Jay.", instead of putting it back I put it in my pocket, I will show this to him later. It's a family heirloom and it has dad's handwriting on it, he will like it.

After packing up everything, I went out of the office and locked the door as I left. Some of the employees already left so there are only a few of them who will leave shortly after completing their work.

While going the home I saw people preparing for our departure, loading something into the car. Maybe some stuff, Jeon-soo was supervising them. I stood there looking at him, I think I should wait for him...

Jeon-soo saw me and waved his hand at me, "It will take a while.", he said to me through the mind link. At first, he seemed to be coming towards me as if he wants to say something but stopped himself.

"Then I will go first.", I replied. If he has something to tell he will talk later.

I entered the house, its dinner time already, I informed Jeon-soo that I will be home by dinner time.

As I put off my shoes and wore house slippers, I saw Bora running after Bosam, the two are Myung and Eun-ae's kids, and Bosam is the youngest.

As I went in I found another kid sitting on the sofa with Dong-woo.

Who can it be?

I was about to ask Eun-ae about him but then it hit me that he can be the pup brought in.

Yes! he is. He has the same colored hair as the little pup's fur, he converted himself!

I looked at him with wide eyes and went toward him.

Seeing me coming toward him he was startled for a second but as I came closer he became comfortable and smiled at me lightly. I don't know why.

"Dong-yun, say "Hi!" to uncle.", Hwan said as he came towards us.

The kid raised his hand and waved at me, smiling.

I patted his head lightly.

"Dong-yun! is that your name?", I asked the kid.

"Do...ng...yu...n...", The kid said stammering.

After replying to me, he turned his head to Eun-ha who just came here.

"I gave him that name. Isn't that a pretty name?", Eunha said.

"Alpha, his name is similar to mine, which means he is my brother.", Dong-woo said smiling.

"Welcome to the family little pup, I mean Dong-yun.", I said smiling.

I looked at Eunha and mind-linked her, "You gave him a name?"

"I will tell you later.", she replied in mind link.

"Play on kids, I will come shortly after changing."

I left from there, I straight went toward my room.

I saw Jeon-soo standing against my room's door with a paper in his hand.

"Let's talk inside.", he said.
