Lights of the VIP club room flickered as the company of about thirty people mingled with each other. Some went right to the dancefloor, showcasing their energy; others preferred to just stand with their drinks, chatting with other celebrities.

You couldn't say that you necessarily liked this type of a party; but your owner took you here without asking, so now you stood near him, not even listening to what he was talking about with his idol friends.

Your eyes examined the VIP room; you didn't see any other pets. In that case, it's no wonder that, once you've been noticed, nobody passed without giving you a headpat or a boop on the nose with a baby-like voice.

Seolmin didn't seem to mind; if anything, he looked rather satisfied with the others' attention towards you. His gaze was relaxed as he placed his own hand on top of your head, ruffling your hair with a firm caress – in a way that only he did.

"...look at this one, practically dozing off!" some female with bleached hair and bright glitter on her lower eyelids exclaimed, smiling adoringly at you. Successfully ripping you out of your observing state.

"Yeah, this little one can get a bit distracted at times," Seolmin chuckled, his voice loud above your ear. You felt his hand slide down to your shoulder, pulling you more into him.

"Ah... I wish I had the time to take care of a pet like that," the female pouted slightly, a barely noticeable drunk slur to her words. "Can I give some scratches? Ple-e-ease?"

Seolmin turned his face to look at you, shrugging.

"Do you allow that, little one?"
