@Kim Sehyoon ʰᵘᵐᵃⁿ "Ah.." Donghun mumbled and narrowed his eyes as he tried to remember. Was this really their first meeting? It made sense when thinking about how often the hybrid left his room- rarely and only when necessary. "I don't think so even though a glass of water is always a good idea. Hydration is an important step towards improving health, apparently. That's what they said but I'm not sure anymore.."

@Park Junhee ʰᵘᵐᵃⁿ Zhan blinked at other when spoke to before his cheeks warmed at being caught talking in Chinese. "Oh, sorry! I was just talking to myself. It's just easier sometimes then I forget to switch back." He explained before clearing his throat. "I was asking where you wanted to go. I've never been around here so I can't ask to go some place." That shouldn't really be a problem for the human since he visited the shop frequently enough, right? "Are there things that you... like to do?" The bunny's eyes are scanning the area around them. After the incident his own instincts had lingered around more so than usual. Thankfully Zhan was with someone trustworthy. It was a miracle in that sense.

@Xiao Zhan ˡᵒᵖ ᵇᵘⁿⁿʸ Jun nodded, smile still present on his features. He wasn't surprised by the request at all. He'd wanted to drive as well, but he knew that some of the hybrids found vehicles problematic. At least he'd asked. Putting away his phone as Hongseok was already notified of their little trip into the city, he lead Zhan towards the parking lot to his white SUV, turning to look at the rabbit curiously when the language spoken didn't sound clear enough to him. He knew a little Chinese, but not enough to really be certain he was understanding what Zhan was saying. "I'm sorry? I don't understand." He said softly, making sure that the problem sounded like his own, as to not upset the other. Maybe his vocabulary was more limited than Junhee was led to believe, and that could be potentially problematic, as they'd need to be able to communicate before he was able to take the young hybrid anywhere.

@Park Junhee ʰᵘᵐᵃⁿ There was an obvious hop to the hybrid's step as he followed the human. "I have everything!" Zhan nearly shouted before clearing his throat and looking bashful at the sudden loud voice. "Could we take your car please?" If he had the option, he would always pick comfort. Especially if the comfort provided AC. As they got closer to the shop's entrance, he got more nervous. This was a big step but it was needed. What would happen if he got bought and couldn't even leave? That would be disastrous and who knew if he would handle the heartbreak again. With a hesitant hand, Zhan gently grasped the bottom of Junhee's shirt while shuffling closer. "I can do this." He said to himself in a determined tone, Chinese flowing out of his mouth instead of Korean. "Where do you want to go?" Zhan asked, not realizing he was still speaking Chinese.

@Lee Donghun ˢᵃᵐᵒʸᵉᵈ “It’s a bit of both, I’m coming here more often but you also caught me after talks with the owner,” he smiled, he wasn’t disappointed that the male didn’t recognise his name, it would make sense, he did try and keep it as anonymous as possible. He didn’t need thanks for doing something that he felt was right to do in the first place. “I’m quite satisfied for now are you wanting anything from the kitchen?” Sehyoon was curious about Donghun especially seeing this was the first time he had ever met one of the people he provided money for.

@Xiao Zhan ᵇᵘⁿⁿʸ Junhee shook his head side to side, trying to brush off the other's concerns. "Nonsense, I'm here to help each of you, and more than happy to do so." Humming, he moved to sit at the very edge of the couch, reaching down into his bag to retrieve a must after brushing out any of the hybrids: A lint brush. He began to clean up his jeans and black button down, carefully disposing of the hair in the wastebasket once again. After he was cleaned up, he motioned to Zhan. "Alright - Did you have everything you need to head out? We can walk or take my car, whichever you prefer." He smiled, pulling out his phone to text Hongseok, always conscientious about the house rules, letting him know who he was taking and where.

@Kim Sehyoon ʰᵘᵐᵃⁿ Of course the name didn't ring a bell and Donghun just nodded to be polite, not daring to say he had no idea who he was talking to despite the male seemingly knowing him for some reason. "Are you visiting a lot or was I merely lucky enough to catch you during some occasional talks with the place owner?' the dog hybrid asked carefully and with a tilt of his head. "Is there anything I can get you from the kitchen? You are a visitor after all and that's what we've been told to do if necessary."

@Park Junhee ʰᵘᵐᵃⁿ A bright smile bloomed on Zhan's features once Junhee agreed. The exclamation made him jump just a little before he was hopping up on his feet. "Okay! Yes, I can- uh..." His eyes glanced around in nervous energy before moving to sit on the plush seat that the human was on. Not only getting use to the other's smell but getting some warmth in. The hybrid's nose twitched a little, grabbing one of his ears gently. A tick he never quite gave up on. "I'll wait here for you. Thank you, for agreeing to this. I know it can be interfering with your schedule." Zhan moved his shoulder bag to rest on his lap with a free hand and smiled brightly at Junhee.

@Xiao Zhan ᵇᵘⁿⁿʸ Entirely unfazed by the rabbit's denial of his services, Jun continued smiling along with Zhan, listening to the request of him with a marked interest. This was not as common as the hybrids who asked for help grooming or lessons in cooking; but still something that the human was more than happy to do. He was surprised Zhan was ready for such an outing, of course, but agreed all too quickly. "Of course I'll you! We'll have so much fun!" Junhee all but shouted in his excitement. He was thrilled that someone was comfortable enough with him to ask something so important. "Let me just... Get cleaned up. It'll take me just a few moments, okay?"

@Lee Donghun ˢᵃᵐᵒʸᵉᵈ “I know this, but I wouldn’t say they are problematic, they just need extra care than most,” he gave a half smile “I’m Kim Sehyoon, it’s nice to finally meet you,” he worded he knew the name the minute he heard it, he had been supporting the medical bills of this male for quite some time and he never had a problem with it or found it comforting to know he was benefiting from the treatments. He had never had a face to the name and now he finally did. Sehyoon sat up properly he wasn’t sure if the hybrid would actually know who he was seeing as he wasn’t sure his name appeared on any time for the bills.

@Kim Sehyoon ʰᵘᵐᵃⁿ "You'd need guidance too if you were being thrown into a situation that you're not too familiar with, if you had to take care of hybrids who you're not used to and who are a bit.. problematic." Yes, that included Donghun as well and he'd never deny it if anyone pointed it out. That's simply how it was in the special pet shop. "I'm Donghun, why are you asking? It's not like people remember the weird one or the name." the hybrid replied with a faint shrug, looking up again. "May I know yours too in return?"

@Lee Donghun ˢᵃᵐᵒʸᵉᵈ “He is trying his best,” Sehyoon replied, there was no denial that he wasn’t, it was just a longer meeting when he explained almost everything to him. Sehyoon opened his eyes only to tilt his head to the side, he hadn’t even realised he had sat next to someone. “He hasn’t messed up he just needs guidance that I give but also it’s tiring because I already have my own company to run,” he didn’t understand why he was so open to the hybrid next to him. “What is your name?” He was curious as he looked more closely to the hybrid, he had no reason to question anything as he knew it was rude to ask why people wore certain things.

@Kim Sehyoon ʰᵘᵐᵃⁿ It was weird that his presence went unnoticed and there was no questions regarding his mask because that's what most of those humans tend to point out for some reason. The person looked important with the briefcase though and Donghun kept staring, not sure if it's okay to speak up or not. "He's doing his best, you know? Hope he didn't mess up again though." the samoyed ended up saying, looking down at the screen after noticing how much he was staring and how rude that must be.

@Lee Donghun ˢᵃᵐᵒʸᵉᵈ Kim Sehyoon has just come out of the office from a long meeting with Hongseok, he was visibly tired from said meeting only because it seemed that the male who had recently taken over was still very new at running it, it was good that Yoon could be a mentor to an extent, he had been Helping funding this space now for quite some time, he had also been supporting a couple of the hybrid’s medical bills so there wasn’t so much pressure. He rubbed the bridge of his nose holding his brief case as he walked into the common room, it was quiet and a place he could settle down for the time being before going back to his own office, he sat on a comfortable sofa leaning back into the chair listening to the silence for the time being.

@Park Junhee ʰᵘᵐᵃⁿ Donghun didn't know much about how this place was being organized but he was aware of the expenses caused by his medication and multiple hospital or doc visits, he had even been told that he's lucky before because there was people generous enough to donate every once in a while. He had never met any of them but was still grateful and wanted to thank them someday.
Relaxing in the otherwise empty room, the dog hybrid kept his mask on and only looked up from the phone in his hand when the door to the place owner's office opened and a complete stranger walked out, someone he had never seen before. It wasn't a surprise though, people tend to come and go, with or without a new pet.

@Park Junhee ʰᵘᵐᵃⁿ Even if the offer was playful, Zhan still turned pink from the idea of his tail being touched. Ah, too intimate for others to help with. "Oh, uhm, no thank you." He shook his head before laughing it off. "I was... I was actually going to ask if you could be my chaperone today? I want to try going into the city and I know hybrids can't go alone." For good reason. Zhan knew that Junhee could possibility be busy with other things today or spending time with other hybrids so he had to prepare himself for rejection. Hands grasped the hem of his large sweater as he waited for an answer. The hybrid flashed a reassuring smile towards the human. "If you're busy we can always reschedule too? Or, someone else might be able to take me."

@Xiao Zhan ᵇᵘⁿⁿʸ Junhee was enjoying the afternoon - It was a nice day and he sat bathed in a spot of sunlight, catering to one of the other Hybrids. He was brushing out the male's fluffy tail with long, soft , making sure the fur was nicely brushed out and working out any tangles he found. He did this for a lot of the hybrids, especially those that had been homeless or lacked the ability to properly care for themselves yet. He was just about finished, placing the discarded fur into a wastebasket as he cleaned his brush, when he saw the pretty black-eared bunny that he'd gotten to know recently. Patting the fox to let him know they were done, Junhee turned his attention to Zhan. "Good afternoon, little bun. What can I do for you? Do you need your tail brushed into a floof as well?" The words were playful, and Junhee was smiling. He enjoyed being there for the hybrids, so while he was surprised for the question, it was entirely welcomed by him.

@Park Junhee ʰᵘᵐᵃⁿ Today was a very big day for Xiao Zhan! He had finally worked up the courage to go outside. In public. With other people. The hybrid's floppy black ears twitched before his hand started to gently pet one in a comforting motion. Though, to leave the building he had to get a human to chaperone. There was one person Zhan had in mind. Talking every once and while; Junhee had given him some brownies as well and that had instantly made him more favorable in Zhan's book. Also it had shown how kind the human was. Gently smoothing out his clothes, he spotted the other across the room. His steps were extremely light as he walked up, nerves bubbling through his body. "Junhee-ah? Can I ask you something?" It was now or never and he flashed a warm smile towards Junhee. Moving to sit on the free foot rest that was in front of him.

@Allen Ma ᵏᶦⁿᵏᵃʲᵒᵘ Too bad that the touching had to end and Geumhyuk had to pull back his hand as well, meeting the hybrid's gaze when being looked at in a way he couldn't identify. It's not like he could be looking at his face, right? "Sounds like your room is quite hidden from anyone entering without permission.. I'll do my best to keep your directions in mind-" A rather annoying ringtone ruined the conversation and the human sighed as soon as he saw the caller ID. "I'm sorry for this sudden end but I have to go and.. I'll see you tomorrow at seven, right at your door."

@Lee Geumhyuk ʰᵘᵐᵃⁿ "Yes, the highest level." The hybrid smiled as he pulled back, looking at Geumhyuk again. At this distance, he could actually make out some of the male's features. He was good looking. That was nice - More than nice, but Allen kept these thoughts to himself. "Second floor, keep taking right turns until you get to a dead end, and my door is the last on the left." He explained it the way he knew it by touch - in fact, Allen was quite sure by now that his claws would have left marks in the wall.

@Allen Ma ᵏᶦⁿᵏᵃʲᵒᵘ Geumhyuk expected him to move away because not everyone is okay with that kind of touch without a warning but the hybrid actually leaned into it and seemed to like it even, so he gently rubbed the cheek while keeping his gaze on Allen. "Awake-awake? As in the highest level of awake?" The human chuckled and nodded. "Seven it is then, I'll knock on your door once I've found it."

@Lee Geumhyuk ʰᵘᵐᵃⁿ "Oh--" Allen gasped softly at the cool hand that pressed against his warm cheek. It was unexpected but pleasant, and he leaned into the touch. His eyes closed again, feeling odd staring while this was going on; perhaps it was better that his milky gaze stay hidden. "Seven is perfect. I'm awake-awake around that time. I'll be wide awake and alert for you."

@Allen Ma ᵏᶦⁿᵏᵃʲᵒᵘ Noticing the change of color, he couldn't help it and pressed the back of his hand against a cheek. "There's nothing wrong with it, don't worry. It's nice and makes you feel better, that's what counts." Geumhyuk spoke in hopes of calming down an embarrassed hybrid and smiled even though it was probably hard to spot for the other. "Is seven pm too early or too late for you? I thought that this would leave enough time to talk before one of us falls asleep."

@Lee Geumhyuk ʰᵘᵐᵃⁿ "I just... Like being up high and feeling cradled." The hybrid hummed, cheeks reddening with embarrassment at the final explanation of his sleeping preferences. Sure, it probably had a lot to do with his animal side, but he'd never say that right out. He wasn't sure if he admired Geumhyuk for pointing that out or disliked it because he only seemed to worry now. "Any time is good with me. Things are mostly tidy to begin with, so it's not like I need much time to prepare."

@Allen Ma ᵏᶦⁿᵏᵃʲᵒᵘ "Blankies? How cute." the older male commented with a chuckled and then went back to listening, actually interested in the reason behind such a choice which soon made sense. "So you're imitating the lifestyle of your non-human part, aren't you? I hope you won't fall down and get hurt though." The last statement was definitely pleasing to Geumhyuk's ears, the human preferring tidy and organized hybrids. A mess would only upset him and make him tell the hybrid to clean up right in front of his eyes. "Any preferred time?"

@Lee Geumhyuk ʰᵘᵐᵃⁿ "I have beanbags and tons of blankies for you to use. I just sleep in a hammock. It's easier to be curled up that way." Allen explained softly, his clouded eyes looking at the male once again, clearly amused. "Normally, I'd like to be a lot higher off the floor but nesting in a tree is basically impossible here. So the hammock was my compromise." Allen nodded to the question, thinking for a few seconds. "That would be great. Gives me time to clean up a bit."

@Allen Ma ᵏᶦⁿᵏᵃʲᵒᵘ The older hummed but still listened closely, curious about why there's no bed but a hammock instead. It seemed riskier and less comfortable to him. "Does that mean I should bring a chair or a pillow to sit on then? I've never heard about someone's bed being replaced with something like that." Geumhyuk moved a bit closer, hand still where he placed it because he might have forgotten about it. "Would tomorrow evening be okay? I won't read too much to keep the recap moment as short as possible."

@Lee Geumhyuk ʰᵘᵐᵃⁿ The hybrid shrugged, blinking a few times before closing his eyes and resting his head back onto the small sofa. "It's up to you. I wouldn't have offered if it wasn't okay. It's not like I'm offering to take you to bed - I don't even have a bed, to be honest, just a hammock." His fingers continued to play with his tail, flicking the extension of his body back and forth at the tip. "Besides, Hong Seok is okay with humans making such visits as long as we are okay with them."

@Allen Ma ᵏᶦⁿᵏᵃʲᵒᵘ Geumhyuk blinked, wondering if he heard what he was supposed to hear. "Would it be okay for me to come to your room? I don't want you to feel like I'm invading your space by doing that or something along those lines." the human admitted even though it did seem like the best idea, considering there's other people who might want to rest in the room they were in. "It's supposed to be for you, not a group of people."
