Short filmTranscript
00:00My fox shifter scratched me again. I went to the clinic alone. This cut is deep. It will definitely leave
00:06a scar.
00:08I bought my shifter to love him.
00:12He spent a whole year hating me instead. So today, I'm trading him in.
00:17She mutters that no properly trained beast man should be hurting their owner like this, and asks if mine ever
00:22went through socialization training.
00:25He did. In fact, he graduated at the top of his class.
00:30My phone vibrates. Dorian. I already know what the messages say before I open them.
00:36It's just a scratch. Did you really need to go to the hospital? Come home and cook. I'm hungry. I've
00:42never been full since living with you. You take terrible care of me.
00:45I've spent an entire year waiting for him to change. Waiting for him to stop talking to me like this.
00:50Waiting for him to look at me and see something other than disappointment.
00:53I leave the hospital and head straight to the beast man registry center.
00:57I'd like to exchange my beast man. That gets her attention immediately.
01:04You've been registered with him for almost a year. You're only a short time away from forming a permanent bond.
01:10Why would you want to replace him now?
01:12I used to talk to Dorian about bond ceremonies. About rings. About our future.
01:19He would only curl his lip and asked if I honestly thought I was worthy of him.
01:23He doesn't like me. Honestly, I think he hates me. It's been a year and that hasn't changed.
01:29A trained beast man is supposed to love their owner wholeheartedly. Problems like that shouldn't happen.
01:35But they do. And that's why I want a new one.
01:38She leads me through a few others. They're all attractive, though none quite match Dorian's pedigree.
01:44I'd prefer a canine. I've heard they're usually more affectionate toward humans.
01:48No canines are currently available.
01:50Photograph slips from her folded and lands on the floor.
01:52I bend down to pick it up.
01:53The man in the picture has cold gray eyes with vertical pupils.
01:57A wolf. A werewolf.
01:59Honestly, he's the most obedient beast man we have.
02:02Then why is he still here?
02:03People are afraid of werewolves.
02:05The owner thinks keeping him is a financial loss.
02:07If nobody takes him today, he'll be sold to a fighting arena.
02:10He was raised to be gentle.
02:11An arena would be hell for him.
02:13But nobody wants him.
02:15I've heard what happens in those places.
02:16They tear beast men apart piece by piece.
02:19My eyes settle on the wolf's face.
02:21His gaze doesn't look gentle.
02:23It looks restrained.
02:25Like he's waiting.
02:26Waiting for one chance.
02:29Is he really obedient?
02:31Absolutely!
02:33I look at the photo one last time.
02:36I'll take him.
02:41The staff tells me the werewolf will arrive in three days.
02:44I carefully tuck the transfer agreement into my bag.
02:48On my way home, I spot Dorian and Bianca from half a block away.
02:52The white-haired fox beast man is standing in the glow of the setting sun, looking almost unreal.
02:57Beautiful.
02:58Perfect.
02:58Like a piece of artwork.
02:59Bianca lives next door.
03:01She's a high-born human.
03:02Smart, elegant, and rich enough to never worry about money.
03:05Ever since she met Dorian, she's been bringing him expensive nutritional supplements.
03:10The two of them have become unusually close.
03:13A year ago, seeing them together would have made my stomach twist.
03:17Now, I simply slow my pace.
03:19Bianca notices me first.
03:21Lucy?
03:22Heading to another part-time job?
03:24She gives me a small smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes.
03:28I don't mean anything by it.
03:30But even if you and Dorian are about to form a bond, you should really make more of an effort
03:36with your appearance.
03:37Look at what you're wearing.
03:39Honestly, who would believe the two of you are together?
03:42I glance down at my t-shirt and jeans, then at her elegant dress.
03:46I think I look fine.
03:49Darian doesn't even look at me.
03:50She wouldn't look good even if she tried.
03:55Honestly, it's better if she pretends she doesn't know how to dress.
03:58That way people won't realize she's actually just ugly.
04:01Bianca lightly smacks his arm.
04:04Dorian, that's a terrible thing to say.
04:07You're trying to help her, and she'll just think you're being nosy.
04:10He finally glances at me.
04:11A low-born human could never understand how someone like Bianca thinks.
04:15Being bought by Lucy is the unluckiest thing that's ever happened to me.
04:18A year ago, that sentence would have ruined my entire night.
04:21I would have gone home wondering what I did wrong.
04:24Wondering how to make him like me.
04:26Wondering how to be better.
04:28Now, I only have one thought.
04:30Two more days.
04:31And none of this will be my problem anymore.
04:37The truth is, Dorian wasn't always like this.
04:40Back when I couldn't afford the expensive supplements a top-teal beastman was supposed to have,
04:45he never complained.
04:46Back when the cheap clothes I bought irritated his sensitive skin,
04:51he still smiled and told me,
04:53Meeting Lucy was the luckiest thing that had ever happened to me.
04:58Everything changed after we ran into his old rival.
05:01A red fox.
05:03We were walking down the street when I dropped my bag.
05:07My things scattered everywhere.
05:10Dorian immediately crouched down to help my pick them up.
05:13At that exact moment, a luxury car pulled over.
05:16The red fox stepped out and planted his foot directly on Dorian's hand.
05:21Dorian flinched.
05:23The fox smiled.
05:24Well, if it isn't Dorian, the most popular beastman of his generation.
05:28His eyes slid toward me.
05:29Then he laughed.
05:31How did someone like you end up with such an ugly, low-born human?
05:37Then again, I suppose it fits.
05:39A defective beastman and a low-born human.
05:42Perfect match.
05:43That night, Dorian locked himself in his room.
05:47I sat outside the door until sunrise.
05:50The ranking system was stupid.
05:52I told him the registry was wrong for labeling him defective.
05:57None of that determined his worth.
05:59And I meant every word.
06:01Hours later, the door finally opened.
06:04His eyes were red and swollen.
06:06He stared at me for a long moment before speaking.
06:10You've never been at the top.
06:12Of course you'd think being trash isn't that bad.
06:17That was the first time I realized something.
06:21Dorian had never truly seen us as equals.
06:24Not even once.
06:26Later, he met Bianca.
06:28Bianca had everything I didn't.
06:30Status.
06:31Money.
06:31Connections.
06:32The ability to give Dorian the life he thought he deserved.
06:36The two of them grew closer every day.
06:39Sometimes I'd see them talking on the porch.
06:41Sometimes she'd lean against him.
06:44Sometimes he'd let her.
06:47I only brought it up once.
06:49Just once.
06:51You're my registered beast man.
06:53Could you maybe keep a little distance from Bianca?
06:56Dorian looked down at me.
06:58His eyes were cold.
07:00Worse than cold.
07:01They were full of resentment.
07:03Lucy.
07:04If I didn't have a defect, do you really think you could have afforded me?
07:07The words hit harder than any claw ever had.
07:10You just took advantage of someone when they were vulnerable.
07:13So what exactly gives you the right to act like my owner?
07:18I never mentioned Bianca again.
07:20There was no point.
07:22Because I remembered something Dorian seemed to have forgotten.
07:25A year ago, he was the one who begged me to save him.
07:28Someone who calls being rescued, taking advantage, was never going to remember the truth.
07:34In this era, male beastmen have taken over humanity's role in reproduction.
07:39Before everything went wrong, Dorian was considered one of the finest beastmen on the market.
07:44At auction, he sold for an astronomical price.
07:47Then they discovered he was infertile.
07:49Everything changed overnight.
07:51A beastman who couldn't fulfill his intended function was suddenly worthless.
07:55Even after his price dropped to $500,000, nobody wanted him.
07:59To people looking for offspring, he was just defective merchandise.
08:03The people in charge planned to send him to the red light district and recover what money they could.
08:09The day I met him was the day I went to buy a beastman of my own.
08:15Dorian broke free from his handlers.
08:17Then he dropped to his knees in front of me.
08:20Please.
08:22Please save me.
08:24I'll be good to you.
08:25I'll be your family.
08:27I don't want to die.
08:28Please.
08:29I grew up in an orphanage.
08:30I know what it feels like to be unwanted.
08:33I know what it's like when nobody chooses you.
08:36So I didn't walk away.
08:37I emptied my savings.
08:39Took out a small loan.
08:41Spent everything I had.
08:43And I bought him.
08:44Not because I acted on impulse.
08:46Not because I felt sorry for him.
08:48I knew exactly what I was doing.
08:51I simply chose to do it.
08:53Afterward, I never brought it up again.
08:55I didn't want to hurt his pride.
08:57I never imagined that one day I'd hear those same events described as me taking advantage
09:02of him.
09:03The day he said that, we ended up arguing.
09:06At some point, my hand brushed against his.
09:10The reaction was immediate.
09:12I didn't want to hurt.
09:13I didn't want to hurt.
09:13My arm slammed into the sharp corner of a table.
09:15The wound split open so deeply I could see bone.
09:19For a moment, Dormian froze.
09:21Then he looked away.
09:22If you hadn't been touching me, you wouldn't have gotten hurt.
09:26This is your own fault.
09:28He didn't even offer to take me to the hospital.
09:31I'm going shopping with Bianca.
09:34Besides, me being there won't make you hurt any less.
09:38Then he looked back at me.
09:40You have your own hands and feet.
09:42Stop blaming everything on me.
09:45Later, while the nurse stitched my arm,
09:48A wound this deep is definitely going to scar.
09:51It'll probably ache every time it rains.
09:53Then she glanced at me.
09:54The sympathy in her eyes almost broke me.
09:57You and your beast man don't seem right for each other.
10:00Maybe it's time to let go.
10:01The words hit me harder than I expected.
10:03Because she was saying something I'd been thinking for months.
10:06Something I never had the courage to admit.
10:09Maybe I could let go.
10:11Maybe Dorian and I didn't need to spend the rest of our lives tied together.
10:14And in that moment, something that had been wrapped around my chest for an entire year
10:19finally loosened.
10:21I could breathe again.
10:24My thoughts return to the present.
10:27Just as Dormian reaches for the door, I stop him.
10:30Dormian, he pauses.
10:32Do you really think being with me is that miserable?
10:35His body stiffens for a second.
10:39Then he turns around.
10:41The same mocking smile is still on his face.
10:43Of course.
10:44He leans against the doorframe.
10:46But someone like you finally got lucky enough to end up with someone like me.
10:52His eyes sweep over me.
10:55Can you really bear to let that go?
11:00A cold laugh escapes him.
11:03I'm stuck with you for the rest of my life.
11:05There's no getting rid of a clingy human like you.
11:08I don't argue.
11:10I don't argue.
11:10The more convinced he is that I can't leave him, the better this will be.
11:14When I don't respond, his tail flips impatiently against the floor.
11:18What are you trying to say?
11:19I lower my gaze and pick at my fingernail, hiding the smile threatening to appear.
11:25I got you a gift.
11:27I got you a gift.
11:28Dorian raises an eyebrow.
11:30A gift?
11:31In a few days, you'll find out.
11:35For the briefest moment, something flashes across his face.
11:38It almost looks like anticipation.
11:42Then it's gone.
11:43The mockery returns immediately.
11:46What is it this time?
11:48Another one of those cheap supplements even dogs wouldn't drink?
11:53I'll probably have to waste my time pouring it down the toilet.
11:56I look up at him.
11:57This time, I'm completely honest.
11:59No.
12:02It's the thing you want most.
12:04Freedom.
12:05Dorian doesn't know that yet.
12:08It better be.
12:09Then he slams the door shut behind him.
12:22Bianca shows up early the next morning.
12:25Dorian and I are going shopping today.
12:27She smiles sweetly.
12:28We have similar taste.
12:29It's easier to shop with someone who understands these things.
12:32Then she looked at me.
12:34Lucy, you're not upset, are you?
12:36There's a hint of expectation in her eyes.
12:38Normally, I would have been.
12:40For an entire year, it bothered me that Dorian never wanted to go anywhere with me, but always had time
12:44for Bianca.
12:46I cried over things like that.
12:48Not anymore.
12:49I don't mind.
12:51Dorian looked shocked.
12:52You're not mad?
12:54I shrug on my jacket.
12:56No.
12:57Go wherever you want.
12:59Bianca immediately hooks her arm through Dorian's.
13:01See?
13:02She's fine with it.
13:03Let's go.
13:04I watch them leave together.
13:05Surprisingly, I don't feel that familiar ache anymore.
13:08I just put on my shoes and head out myself.
13:11The shopping center is having a huge seasonal sale today.
13:14I need to buy supplies for the werewolf before he arrives.
13:16The mall is packed.
13:18Most of the shoppers are ordinary humans with ordinary beastmen.
13:21Families.
13:22Couples.
13:23Friends.
13:24The aisles are crowded, noisy, and full of laughter.
13:28Everyone looks happy.
13:29Without meaning to, I find myself smiling too.
13:31Maybe that's what my life will look like soon.
13:34Maybe having a new beastman will feel different.
13:36If I hadn't met Dorian that day, I probably would have had that life already.
13:39I won't have to listen to Dorian complain that cheap people should buy cheap things.
13:43I won't have to watch him sneer at places like this before walking away and leaving me standing there alone.
13:48I didn't have to bear his arrogance.
13:49Honestly, all I'd ever wanted was a warm relationship.
13:52It didn't have to look fancy.
13:54If it weren't Dorian, I probably would have had it a long time ago.
13:58Please.
14:02By the time I get home, the sky is dark.
14:05To my surprise, Dorian is already there.
14:08Usually, he and Bianca don't come back until late at night.
14:11He's sitting on the couch with his arms crossed.
14:13The anger on his face is impossible to miss.
14:16Where were you?
14:16You didn't even make dinner.
14:19Living with you is miserable enough already.
14:21Now I can't even get a decent meal.
14:24You take terrible care of me.
14:25I take a sip of my iced coffee and set my shopping bags down.
14:29Oh, I assumed you'd eat at Bianca's place.
14:33Besides, I thought you didn't want my cooking.
14:35Dorian frowns.
14:36On your birthday, I spent an entire afternoon making dinner.
14:41You threw all of it in the trash.
14:44For the first time all evening, he has nothing to say.
14:49I focus on unpacking the things I bought for the werewolf.
14:52Chew toys.
14:53A grooming brush.
14:55Fish oil supplements.
14:57Basic necessities.
14:58At some point, Dormian appears behind me.
15:01I don't even notice until he picks up the brush.
15:03What is this?
15:04You planning to raise me like a dog?
15:06I don't use cheap products like this.
15:08And this fish oil isn't even premium grade.
15:11Whatever.
15:11Since you already bought them, I guess I can try them.
15:13They're not for you.
15:15Silence.
15:17Dorian's hand freezes around the brush.
15:19What?
15:20I turn to face him.
15:21That perfect face.
15:22The face I spent a year trying to please.
15:24I can't give a high-class beastman like you the life you deserve.
15:28My voice is calm.
15:29There's no self-pity in it.
15:30No insecurity.
15:31After all, those are just words he's repeated to me countless times over the past year.
15:36Now I'm simply giving them back.
15:37I've already filed a transfer request.
15:40His expression goes blank.
15:41For a second, it's like he doesn't understand what I mean.
15:45The color drains from his face.
15:47In two days, you'll never have to see me again.
15:55The clock ticked steadily between us.
15:59Dorian and I stare at each other in silence.
16:02After a long moment, the tension in his brow eased.
16:06Bianca was right.
16:07About what?
16:08You saw how close she and I are, so now you're pretending to let go to make me come back
16:12to you?
16:12First the act, now this nonsense about replacing me.
16:15His expression turned confident.
16:17She said you're manipulative.
16:18Looks like she was right.
16:20You think threatening me will make me wag my tail like some cheap beastman?
16:23I didn't bother arguing.
16:24If that's what you want to believe, believe it.
16:27My calmness only seemed to irritate him more.
16:29A fluorescent heart was drawn around the 20th of next month.
16:33You just want the bond ceremony, don't you?
16:36You started asking what kind of ring I wanted six months ago.
16:40Hmm.
16:40You kept pushing for us to live together.
16:42If you want me, just say it.
16:45Using tricks like this is pathetic.
16:50Let me make this clear.
16:52Even if I bond with you, I'll keep seeing Bianca.
16:56If you want to get close to me, you'll need my permission first.
16:59And when we're outside, nobody is allowed to know we're together.
17:02He looked at me, annoyed, as though he had plenty more to say.
17:06But I had never felt calmer.
17:08No wonder they called you defective.
17:10I spoke slowly, making sure he heard every word.
17:13Buying you was the worst investment I ever made.
17:16Dorman's golden eyes widened.
17:18His fluffy white tail shot upright.
17:22The Beast Registry staff arrived exactly on time.
17:25Dorian's eyes locked on the wolf standing beside them.
17:28Caleb was tall.
17:29So tall I had to tilt my head to look at him.
17:31His fitted t-shirt stretched across broad shoulders and muscle.
17:33Sharp brows, slightly upturned eyes, and a scar near his teffel gave him a dangerous look.
17:37This was my first time meeting a Predator-Clee Beastman.
17:40A black collar circled his neck, a leash attached to the front.
17:43Registry issued, for Beastmen without owners.
17:45Caleb looked at me.
17:46Then, to my surprise, he dropped to one knee so he would be lower than me.
17:50Master, my name is Caleb.
17:52From now on, all you have to do is hold the leash.
17:55He gently placed the other end into my hand.
17:58The moment I took it, he lowered his head and rubbed his cheek against the back of my hand.
18:03A soft, satisfied rumble came from his throat.
18:05For such a large and intimidating wolf, he surrendered himself completely.
18:09The staff member was Stella, the same woman who had helped me before.
18:12She grinned.
18:13Don't worry, I practically watched Caleb grow up.
18:15He's very well behaved.
18:17Unfortunately, the registry is being renovated,
18:19so Dorian's transfer won't be processed for another two weeks.
18:22Would it be possible to foster him until then?
18:24The registry will cover all expenses.
18:26As Stella folk, I felt Caleb's fluffy tail brush against my ankle,
18:29wagging with barely restrained excitement.
18:31I didn't answer immediately.
18:33Dorian had remained silent the entire time.
18:36Only when Caleb looked up and nuzzled my hand again,
18:38could Dorian finally speak.
18:40Pathetic mutt.
18:41Caleb lifted his head and glanced at him.
18:44There was no fear in that look.
18:45Only a warning.
18:48A second later, he lowered his gaze again and settled beside my knees,
18:52curling his large frame into a compact ball.
18:54Master, he keeps glaring at me.
18:56I'm scared.
18:57Despite his words,
18:58the arms stretched protectively in front of my legs never moved.
19:01The last of my worries disappeared.
19:03Who said wolves were difficult?
19:05This was exactly the kind of beastmen I wanted.
19:08Loyal.
19:09Protective.
19:10Kind.
19:10Stella's smile vanished instantly.
19:13She pulled out her registry identification.
19:15Fox Beastman.
19:16Registration number 4561.
19:18Dorian, correct?
19:19The color drenned of Dorian's face.
19:22Yes.
19:23I am here on behalf of the Beast Registration to formally notify you
19:26that your owner has requested a transfer.
19:27We are extremely disappointed with your performance.
19:30Two weeks from now, you will be reclaimed by the registry.
19:33Please prepare yourself accordingly.
19:42After Stella left,
19:43Dormian immediately grabbed Caleb and yanked him away from my side.
19:47You pathetic mutt.
19:48What do you think you're doing?
19:49Having fun playing house?
19:51Caleb hit the floor hard.
19:53His hand struck the corner of the table.
19:54A red bruise immediately bloomed across his skin.
19:57He didn't fight back.
19:59He simply climbed to his feet and returned to my side.
20:01Looking up at me cautiously, my heart tightened.
20:05I pushed past Dormian and knelt beside Caleb.
20:11Are you okay?
20:13Lucy!
20:13I know what you're doing.
20:15You brought this mutt home to force me into bonding with you.
20:18Go withdraw the transfer request right now and send him back.
20:21Otherwise, I will never bond with you.
20:23I turned around.
20:25My patience had finally run out.
20:28Dorian.
20:30I'm only going to say this one more time.
20:32I don't want you anymore.
20:38Dorian stormed out.
20:41I stayed behind to treat Caleb's injured hand.
20:44The moment I reached for him, he turned his face away and kept inching backward.
20:49My heart sank.
20:52Are you having second thoughts?
20:54I didn't want another Dorian.
20:56Better to be honest now.
20:57If you stay with me, there won't be expensive supplements.
21:00My income is enough for ordinary things, nothing more.
21:03I work two jobs.
21:04In the summer, I come home sweaty.
21:07I'm not particularly pretty, either.
21:09If you're disappointed, I can take you back.
21:12I forced a smile and quietly wiped my damp palms against my clothes.
21:16Caleb finally looked at me.
21:18His gray eyes were shining.
21:20I'm sorry.
21:21My stomach dropped.
21:23So it was true.
21:26My stomach dropped.
21:28So it was true.
21:29I'm sorry.
21:30I'm just too happy.
21:32I was so happy about staying with you that I couldn't control my expression.
21:36I was afraid I looked ridiculous, so I didn't dare look at you.
21:39I thought I was going to the fighting pits.
21:41Then suddenly they told me someone wanted me.
21:44At night, I held your poto and kept staring at it.
21:47I couldn't believe it.
21:49Someone actually chose me.
21:50I was afraid I was dreaming.
21:52I've never been happier in my life.
21:54I think you're beautiful.
21:56I'm not embarrassed.
21:57I'm so happy I could cry.
21:59Oh, he was such an idiot.
22:01He was already crying.
22:03Could someone really be happy simply because they had me?
22:06I reached for his hand.
22:08His palm was damp with nervous sweat.
22:10Hot.
22:11Real.
22:12Not a dream.
22:13Don't call me Master anymore.
22:15Call me Lucy.
22:16He froze.
22:18Then he carefully pressed my hand against his cheek and nodded hard.
22:23Lucy.
22:27Dorian came back with Bianca.
22:29The moment he entered, he started noisily packing his things.
22:32Bianca stood in the doorway, looking around with obvious disdain.
22:36Lucy, you've been working all these years and this is all you could afford?
22:40Have you ever considered that maybe you just don't work hard enough?
22:43Dorian told me you want to replace him.
22:45You really don't know how lucky you are.
22:47If I had a beast man like him, I'd do anything to keep him.
22:51What would a low-class human know about quality?
22:54You replaced me with some mutt?
22:56This whole place reeks now.
22:58There were only two days left.
22:59I wasn't interested in arguing.
23:01Instead, I continued brushing Caleb's tail.
23:04The registry had barely taken care of him while he sat unsold.
23:08His fur was tangled in several places.
23:10Caleb naturally settled at my feet, resting his head on my knee to make my job easier.
23:15Whenever strangers were around, he always stayed close to me like this.
23:19Bianca and Dorian continued criticizing me.
23:22Then Caleb suddenly spoke.
23:24Foxes smell worse.
23:25What did you say?
23:29What did you say?
23:31Caleb rose to his feet and stepped in front of me.
23:34I said you're a smelly fox.
23:36You have an owner and still spend your time chasing after other people.
23:40No loyalty.
23:41No shame.
23:42If you didn't hear me the first time, I can repeat it ten more times.
23:45For someone so timid, Caleb's words were unexpectedly sharp.
23:48He defending me, a warm feeling spread quietly through my chest.
23:51Lucy, if you dislike Dorian this much, then you won't mind him staying at my place instead?
23:56I don't mind.
23:58Lucy, you've wanted to get rid of me for a long time, haven't you?
24:01The shirt he'd thrown cost over a thousand dollars.
24:04I was still wearing clearance sale sweatshirts.
24:07Dorian, weren't you the one who wanted to leave me?
24:10That's right.
24:11I want to leave you, not the other way around.
24:14I wouldn't spend another minute in this dump.
24:16Don't worry, Dorian.
24:18Come home with me.
24:19I'll give you the best of ever.
24:21But Dorian didn't answer.
24:23The only sound in the room was his tail thumping against the floor.
24:26After a long silence, he took two steps forward, then stopped, then looked back at me.
24:30I lowered my head and pretended not to notice.
24:32Diane?
24:36I don't want to stay here,
24:37but the registry assigned me to Lucy's house until the transfer is complete.
24:41I'd rather not violate regulations.
24:43Bianca, come find me after I'm officially listed for reassignment.
24:47Caleb watched Dorian's ridge back for a moment
24:50before leaning close boats to my ear.
24:56Lucy, let's go back to the bedroom.
24:58It's getting late.
25:00Time to sleep.
25:01His warm breath brushed against my ear,
25:03making my skin heat unexpectedly.
25:06They were perfectly innocent words.
25:09Yet somehow,
25:10they didn't sound innocent at all.
25:13You're sleeping together?
25:15Caleb draped an arm over my shoulder,
25:17easily pulling me against his broad chest.
25:19The gesture looked natural, almost possessive.
25:22He blinked innocently.
25:23Of course.
25:24A beastman sleeping beside his owner is completely normal, isn't it?
25:28Mr. X.
25:33I fluffed up the new bedding and spread it neatly across the floor.
25:37Sorry about this.
25:39Once Dorian leaves, I'll clean out the other room for you.
25:42At least it's warm now.
25:43You won't get cold sleeping down here.
25:46Besides, you're a wolf, so I guess...
25:48Caleb was standing by the door,
25:50fiddling with his fingers.
25:51His ears drooped.
25:53What's wrong?
25:54You don't want to sleep on the floor?
25:56Then you can take the bed.
25:58I'll sleep down here.
26:02His tail sank lower.
26:05His gray eyes shimmered.
26:10Did I do something wrong?
26:12Caleb suddenly dropped to his knees.
26:13The small room felt even smaller with his large frame inside it.
26:16Under the warm light,
26:17his usually intimidating face looked expectantly helpless.
26:19He shuffled forward on his knees and wrapped his arms around my legs.
26:22Tears streamed down his cheeks.
26:24Master, if I did something wrong, I'll fix it.
26:28Please don't make me sleep alone.
26:31I learned how to take care of humans at the registry.
26:35Heat rushed to my face.
26:37Was he crying because we weren't sharing a bed?
26:40I instinctively reached out to wipe away his tears.
26:44Caleb leaned into my touch,
26:46rubbing his cheek against my palm.
26:49Can I?
26:51I-I just thought...
26:53We barely know each other.
26:55I didn't know if he'd want that.
26:57I stumbled backward and sat down on the bed.
26:59I could feel the heat of his hand against my leg.
27:02Caleb moved closer,
27:03kneeling beside the bed.
27:05His tears hadn't stopped,
27:06but there was a quiet determination in his gaze.
27:09Please,
27:10just give me a chance.
27:12My thoughts were a mess.
27:14In the end,
27:16all I could do was nod.
27:31I drifted in and out of consciousness,
27:33only faintly aware that it had started raining outside.
27:36No wonder the room felt so hot and heavy,
27:39so damp.
27:40I reached out,
27:41trying to turn off the light,
27:42but he pulled me back.
27:43My voice came out hoarse.
27:48I think someone's knocking.
27:51There's someone outside.
27:53Let's stop for a second.
27:55Even now,
27:55you're still thinking about him?
27:57You still like him more,
27:59don't you?
28:02I don't.
28:04I don't.
28:17I like you.
28:18I like you,
28:19okay?
28:19Okay.
