Cha Junshik saw how Alpheus looked excited while staring at his work. He was reading some ebooks to make a good presentation. He scoffed and asked, "Do you know the stuff that I wrote on my laptop?"
"Arf! Arf!" Alpheus stuck out his tongue, still staring at the screen full of stuff he seriously didn't understand.
Cha Junshik remembered that Alpheus was forbidden to speak outside in dog form. It was him who gave that order to Alphie, and he didn't want to break it, afraid that Alpheus might accidentally let out his human voice.
"Okay, if you want to see me working, then whatever, but you still need to eat your sausage first," Cha Junshik grabbed Alpheus by his nape and then put him on the seat beside him.
"Eat," Junshik ordered.
"Arf!" Alpheus wagged his tail excitedly. He ate the sausage that Junshik ordered and found the steak Sir Junshik Hyung cooked this morning was actually better.
'Hmm, Sir Junshik Hyung is really a great cook! My late queen mother said a mate that can cook is a great man because he will make you fat out of happiness!'
'Wait, a mate?' Alpheus was confused by his own line of thoughts. So he just shrugged it off and continued eating.
After he finished, he jumped back to Sir Junshik Hyung's lap and put his front feet on the table, just like what Sir Junshik Hyung did.
Cha Junshik allowed the werepom to watch him making a presentation, but after a while, Alpheus found himself sleepy because he understood nothing on the screen. His snout drooped, and he rested his face on the table and fell asleep quickly.
Cha Junshik chuckled when he saw the sleeping werepom. He grabbed Alpheus' nape again and put him to curl in his lap, sleeping soundly.
Meanwhile, Cha Junshik became the object of stares by so many girls who passed the coffee because of his good looks, nice body, and the black Pomeranian sleeping on his lap.
He got uncomfortably soon enough, especially when he heard the sound of camera around him, followed by the giggles from school girls and older women as well.
Snap. Snap. Snap. Snap.
Thus, Cha Junshik quickly finished his work and got the hell out. No matter how many times he got secretly photographed by someone else in public, he still couldn't get used to it.
He usually went to his usual spot inside the coffee shop. It was hidden behind a pillar, so he wouldn't be exposed. Now that he was sitting on the terrace, he became an object of awe for the passerby and the ones inside the coffee shop.
He quickly closed his laptop after he felt he had prepared enough for today and would continue tomorrow morning again.
He ruffled Alpheus' head, "Dog, it's time to leave."
"Uurrf…" Alpheus felt groggy, he wanted to sleep more, but since Sir Junshik Hyung said so, he had to comply.
He stretched his body and was energized once more, "Arf! Arf!"
"Kyaa! So cute!"
Blitz. Snap. Snap. Snap. Blitz.
Cha Junshik was annoyed by the girls, mostly young girls in high school or university, who took his picture without permission.
He loved the attention as BJ Fox when he was streaming because that was the place where he wanted to unleash all of his narcism, not as Cha Junshik.
As Cha Junshik, he was just a regular man who would be a university lecturer soon, not some kind of cam whore like BJ Fox.
Though, he loved both of his worlds equally, of course.
Cha Junshik got up from the chair, carrying Alpheus in his left hand, and his bag on his right. He was about to walk out of the coffee shop when a girl suddenly barged in out of nowhere and cut his exit route.
"Good morning, may I have your time for a second, Sir?"
"No, I—"
"Ah, thank you, my name is Jeon Misoo. I am a university student majoring in arts. I've been searching for a good nude model for the art project. May I know whether you're interested in joining? Don't worry about the payment. It will be worth it!"
"I don't think I'm into it—"
"You should rethink about it, this is my phone number. Please give me a call if you're interested," Jeon Misoo said.
…
Cha Junshik sighed as he accepted the phone number written on a scrap of paper.
"I'll be waiting for an answer!" Jeon Misoo winked. He looked down at Alpheus and was about to rub his head.
"Omo, what a cute dog! Cutie, cutie!"
"Grrr! Arf! Arf! Arf!" Alpheus was about to bite Misoo's finger, but she pulled quickly.
"Omo, omo, so hostile!"
'Un! Because he is trying to touch me, I am still Alpheus Wolve Rytnic, the Crown Prince of Eclipse Kingdom! I am still a royal, don't touch me with your commoner's hand!' Alpheus yelled in his heart. He honestly never liked getting touched by anyone except his parents.
He was never touched by commoner too, and the one time a commoner tried to touch him was actually an assassin sent by one of the neighbouring kingdoms.
"He bites," Junshik said coldly. "And this is my dog. You shouldn't touch someone's dog without permission."
'Yes! I'm also Sir Junshik Hyung's dog! Arf!' Alpheus agreed quickly. Then he realized something wrong, 'Wait a minute...'
"A—Ah, I see. Then, I'll be leaving," Jeon Misoo walked away, and Cha Junshik saw the phone number.
He scoffed coldly and threw the paper into the trash can.
"Arf!"
"Ah, are you asking why did I throw that scrap of paper? That's because I'm not interested in her art project. I know that she has another intention in her eyes. It's so easy to read."
"I'm used to getting stuff like this, so I'm not really surprised," Cha Junshik grinned at rubbing Alpheus' head again. "Anyway, let's go to the gym. There are lots of other dogs in that gym as well. Maybe you'll find your kin there."
"Arf! Arf!"
