Cha Junshik cooked breakfast for them and then prepared himself for another day out.
Alpheus had turned into his Pomeranian form again since Sir Junshik Hyung told him that they were about to leave for the day.
Alpheus saw Sir Junshik Hyung comb his hair, and it looked flowy and majestic. He wore a white shirt and silk tie, then he wore a formal green vest, completed with green trousers as well.**
Alpheus stared at Sir Junshik Hyung for a long time until Junshik realized it, "What are you staring at?"
"Sir, you look like a handsome hero from the fable in my kingdom!" Alpheus dashed towards Cha Junshik and ran around his feet. "Alphie feels honored to have known you in this world! Arf, arf!"
Cha Junshik laughed. His mood improved because he was quite nervous today. Since he had to replace his professor to teach a big group of new undergraduate students in the university.
It had been a month since his professor got sick, so he had to fill the schedule as an assistant professor.
"You really know how to bootlick, huh?" Junshik said.
Alpheus tilted his head. He didn't know why Sir Junshik Hyung said that he knew how to bootlick, but oh well!
"Arf!" Alpheus started licking Sir Junshik Hyung's brown shoes.
Cha Junshik frowned, "What are you doing?"
"Bootlicking, Sir!"
"Ahahahah!" Cha Junshik grabbed Alpheus from the ground and then picked up his messenger bag. "Let's just go now, or I will be late for the class."
"Arf!"

Like yesterday, Cha Junshik brought Alpheus to the dog daycare run by his uncle and aunt. The one working was Cha Eunjung since she took a gap year to study for next year's university test.
Ding-Dong! Woof!
"Oh, good morning, Oppa!" Cha Eunjung smiled when she was her favorite big cousin. Because Cha Junshik Oppa was handsome and had a lot of money, he often treated her with food or other stuff.
Cha Junshik smiled when he saw Eunjung holding a dog, "Eunjung, where are uncle and aunt?"
"They're busy with their new business. They're expanding their business to make a restaurant, remember?" Eunjung said. She looked at the black Pomeranian looking at Eunjung. Alpheus' eyes were sparkly and looked so cute.
"Good morning, Alphie!"
"Arf!" Alpheus also greeted Eunjung because she was Sir Junshik Hyung's little cousin. And she looked a bit similar to Sir Junshik Hyung as well. It made Alpheus feel more familiar and comfortable around Eunjung.
"Eunjung, I'm here to put Alphie in the dog daycare. I have work to do today," Junshik said.
"Ah, no worry, Oppa. He is safe on my hand!" Eunjung said. "You know that I'm the best dog caretaker in Seoul. So, you don't need to worry if Alpheus got bullied by bigger dogs. I'm going to make sure that Alpheus mingles well with the rest of the dogs!"
"Well, I'm not worried about that," Junshik remembered what Alpheus said yesterday. He actually went on full French Revolution to the other dogs, basically dismantling all those hierarchies and putting himself on top of everyone, befitting a tyrant.
But it also made him wonder how Cha Eunjung said nothing bad happened when he worked out at the gym.
Either Alpheus didn't fight anyone and used his speech to convince the other dogs, which was super unlikely.
Or… Cha Eunjung didn't actually check on the dogs.
'Well, thinking about the second choice seems to be too malicious. She allows me to put Alpheus here free of charge, and Alpheus has no protest or anything against her.'
Cha Junshik ruffled Alpheus' head and warned him, "Don't make a mess. Eunjung is kind enough to let you stay for free. I will return after I finish my work, okay?"
"Arf! Arf!" Alpheus gave out another salute for Sir Junshik Hyung as he was handed to Cha Eunjung.
"I'll be leaving now. Thanks for the help, Eunjung."
"No worries, take care, Oppa!"
Cha Junshik went out and left Alpheus in the dog daycare.
Cha Eunjung had two dogs in his hand. Both were small dogs, "Do you still remember him, Alphie? This dog's name is Jajam. He played with you yesterday!"
"Arf! Arf!"
[Alpheus: Good morning, my subject.]
"Woof!"
[Jajam: Good morning, my prince, the supreme overlord!]
"Arf! Arf, arf!"
[Alpheus: How is my domain after my brief absence?]
"Woof! Woof!"
[Jajam: All dogs are worshipping you! We're waiting for your return, Supreme Overlord, Our Prince, Alpheus Wolve Rytnic!]
"Arf! Arf! Arf!"
[Alpheus: Good, my subject, your devotion has pleased me to no end. Let's find a way to conquer other lands and make them rightfully ours. Let's burn our enemies' villages to the ground!]
"Woof!"
[Jajam: Yes, my prince!]
Cha Eunjung saw these two dogs barking at each other. Though she didn't know what Alpheus and Jajam were talking about since she couldn't speak dog language. But they wagged their tails happily, which signified that they were happy.
"Aww, you guys must've been best friends! What are you two talking about? Chasing ball? Running away in the field? So cuteeee!" Cha Eunjung hugged both Alpheus and Jajam before finally putting those two to the playground.
"Okay, guys. Play nice with each other, okay?" Cha Eunjung said. "I will be busy imagining about my date with Cha Eunwoo, or Park Seojoon. I will return with treats! Have fun!"
Cha Eunjung left the dogs by themselves as she returned to her seat inside the office and started watching some drama starring Cha Eunwoo or Park Seojoon, her favorites.
After they ensured Cha Eunjung the dog caretaker wouldn't find them until late afternoon, all the dogs, big or small, prostrated in front of their prince, Alpheus Wolve Rytnic.
"Good morning, My Prince!"
"Good morning, my subject. I just got a small report from Jajam that you guys are being civil while I'm returning with Sir Junshik Hyung," Alpheus said. "Husky, since you're the one in charge while I'm out, give me your report."
"Yes, My Prince!" Boss Husky came forward and reported his finding. "My Prince, we all behaved nicely when you left. We also happen to find a tunnel that will fit us all to infiltrate the cat daycare on the other side!"
