"Please, please, pleaseeeee." Si-hoon sulked, his voice drawing out each word like a child. A child! He wasn't a child. He's a grown hybrid man. Even better, a corgi! Those are still cute, right? He plopped down onto the floor with a dramatic thud, crossing his arms tightly around his knees. His eyes sparkling with the most convincing puppy-eyed expression he could muster.
