My Friend is a Puppy

Ryu Seowoo meets Cha Juwon at a convenience store he stopped at to buy snacks. He thought Juwon wouldn’t know who he was, but Juwon even calls him by name and acts friendly…

“You smell nice.”

Contrary to his intimidating appearance, he gives Seowoo an unfamiliar compliment. He acts indifferently kind, doing things like carrying heavy things for him and wiping his bloody nose.

As a dog shifter with a sensitive sense of smell, Juwon was interested in Seowoo, who alone smelled fresh and clean among the stuffy boys, and wanted to become his friend. Then one day, he discovers the traces of an unfamiliar puppy on Seowoo, whom he had only thought of as a friend. Realizing his own feelings through a burning jealousy, Juwon transforms into a scruffy puppy and sneaks into Seowoo’s house.
