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