"My prince, why don't you do something to get the treat instead of being obedient?"
"Huh? What do you mean? Sir Junshik Hyung always told me to be obedient and not noisy!"
"Then you can show your submissiveness towards him! Maybe you should start with… offering your butt!"
"Offering my butt? How?" Alpheus had never heard such a thing before. Obviously, he never showed his dog form to random people in his kingdom. Only to his late parents he could feel safe enough to turn into a dog.
So, something like offering your butt was very new to him.
"You don't know? It's easy, just do this—" Boss Husky turned around and perked his butt in front of Alpheus' face. "This is how I always do it with my master. He would laugh and pat my head usually!"
"Yes, I did that too!"
"Yes, yes! It's a sign that you acknowledge their power!"
The other dogs agreed with Boss Husky, and Alpheus took note of this in his head. He was thinking of offering his butt to Sir Junshik Hyung and wondered what kind of reaction he would get.
"I see…" Alpheus mumbled.
"Oh, oh! You can also do this, my prince!"
Boss Husky laid on his back and showed his belly to Alpheus, and the other dogs also followed his move.
"You should also try to sleep in your master's lap! They usually like that, my prince!"
"Hm, hm… good suggestion, you guys are my good subjects," Alpheus said seriously while he wrote everything down in his mind.
Boss husky and the rest of the dogs were happy to help their new alpha leader. Alpheus might be small, but he was a lot stronger than all of them and more charismatic!

Cha Junshik finished his gym session after three hours. He skipped a few days because of work and study, so he had to compensate for it longer today.
He took a bath in one stall after the gym and heard someone enter the stall next to him, despite having all the other stalls empty right now.
So he knew there was something this guy wanted to say. Though, he already knew what was that. He got the same treatment from both men and women anyway.
"Hi, so uh… have anything to do after this?" The heavy voice from the next bath stall asked.
"I have an appointment," Junshik replied nonchalantly. He was used to this anyway.
It wasn't really a surprise there were a lot of gays in the gym. Most of them were muscle bottom.
Cha Junshik was also gay, he was a pure top, and he got hit many times by these muscle bottoms.
"Ah, that's unfortunate. Then how about we exchange our number and contact each other again later," the man asked.
Cha Junshik sighed. Of course, he wouldn't give his real number to a random guy. Besides, he already had Alpheus in the apartment. If he took another man in, even for a one-night stand, it would be messy if Alpheus decided to magically turn into Pomeranian or his human form with wolf tail and ear.
"I'm not interesting, sorry," Cha Junshik ended his bath session and quickly dried himself with a towel before wearing a new set of clothes.
Cha Junshik entered the dog daycare and was greeted by Cha Eunjung, who was busy reading a book.
Eunjung looked at the door, and her face brightened, "Junshik Oppa!"
Junshik smiled, "How's my dog? Is he doing alright? Did the other bigger dogs bully him?"
"Haha, of course not! I am a good dog caretaker. Of course, I already make sure that all dogs are good to each other, especially to a smaller dog like Alphie! Come, you can check it yourself."
Cha Eunjung led Junshik to the playing field. They saw Alpheus actually sitting on top of a husky's body, like a gladiator riding his steed.
Boss husky ran around the playing field with his prince sitting comfortably on top of his body while the other dogs were following them from behind.
They looked happy, but it was just Alpheus who ordered them to survey the playing field because this was his new territory in this world. At least it could be his safe space while he was in hiding.
'I will expand my territory later on! Fighting, Alphie!'
"See how they are good friends there? Told you that I'm a great dog caretaker!" Cha Eunjung grinned smugly. She clapped her hands and ordered, "Guys, come here! Alpheus is leaving today!"
"What?!"
"So early?"
"My prince, I thought you're planning to take over the world."
"It's fine, Sir Junshik Hyung is still my SUPER MEGA BEST FRIEND. I need to leave now," Alpheus said. "Husky, you will be an acting leader until my return. Remember to stay loyal to me, and you will be rewarded!"
"Yes! Thank you so much, my prince!"
Boss Husky and the other dogs carried Alpheus back to Cha Junshik and Eunjung. Alpheus happily jumped from the back of Boss Husky to Sir Junshik Hyung's arms.
Cha Junshik caught him and smiled, "You had fun here?"
"Arf! Arf!" Alpheus returned to his cute self once in Sir Junshik Hyung's arms. Even the other dogs were surprised by how to tame Crown Prince Alpheus was in his master's arm.
"Hehe, you can visit whenever you want, Alphie. The other dogs already like you so much, thanks to me, of course," Cha Eunjung claimed.
Cha Junshik was relieved that nothing happened with Alpheus, and he seemed to be very happy about coming here.
"I'll need your help in the future, Eunjung. I will have to leave Alpheus here whenever I go to the gym or have a long class. I'm afraid he will make a mess when he is bored in my apartment," Junshik said. "How much is it?"
"Ah, my dog daycare service is usually costly. But since you're my Oppa, you can just drop Alpheus here free of charge.. I don't want to take money from my Junshik Oppa, even though my caretaking skill is superb, hehe~."
