▹ The barking competition

                                    

                                          
"Should I cut my hair?" 
                          
The room was mostly dark, the only source of light coming from the scented candle that was placed in the middle of the coffee table as well as the flashes of the tv from the movie neither of them had been paying attention to.
                          
George was laying across her stomach whilst she rested comfortably with her feet up, Pluto nuzzled on her lap beside George's shoulder. She continued to play with his hair mindlessly. 
                          
"No, why would you even ask that?" 
                          
At her disgust, George chuckled. "But it's getting too long and fluffy." 
                          
Chungha frowned as she examined the fluffy dark hair on top of his head. She pouted out her lips. "I like fluffy. You look cute and it feels nice when I run my fingers through it." 
                          
"So I'm not allowed to cut my hair?" 
                          
"Nope." 
                          
"Because you like it fluffy?" 
                          
"That's what I said," Chungha confirmed with a nod. "Plus, your fans love it like this too, so you have to keep it this way for them." 
                          
George silently gaped up at her. She looked away, a sly smile on her face whilst he continued to stare at her in shock. 
                          
"Did you just use the fan card on me?" 
                          
"What? Me? I would never." 
                          
George shook his head and fixed his attention on his dog, who was sleeping peacefully. George gently nuzzled his nose into Pluto's fur, causing the dog to open his eyes. 
                          
"She's being mean to me, Toto," George whined. 
                          
Pluto simply fixed his position so that he could rest his head on top of George's face, causing the man beneath him to let out a small laugh. 
                          
"He's telling you to shut up," Chungha told him. "You should listen to him."
                          
"Girl are you asking for me to knock you out?" George asked playfully. 
                          
Chungha scoffed. "Knock me out? Bitch, I'd drop kick you to Spain." 
                          
George lifted his hand and rubbed it against Chungha's face, making an obnoxious 'shhhhh' sound over and over again until she batted his hand away.
                          
Seeing her frustration, George began laughing only earning himself a growl. 
                          
"Did you just turn into a whole ass canine?" George questioned, still laughing. 
                          
Chungha nodded, silently laughing at her own response. When George suddenly barked back at her, Chungha's laughter increased causing her to lean forward. Her forehead rested against the side of George's face, her body shaking from the laughter. 
                          
George had an amused smile on his face before he barked again, this time setting Pluto off.
                          
"Oh bitch, bark off!" George announced. 
                          
Pluto barked in his face causing George to simply bark back. 
                          
Suddenly, a huge competition between the two was set off which didn't help Chungha's situation at all considering she was still having trouble regaining herself from her laughing fit.
                          
"Okay stop, you're going to get kicked out of your apartment when the neighbours complain," Chungha butted in, calming Pluto down. 
                          
George snorted. "Could you imagine their complaints? The guy upstairs kept barking and I've had enough. I'll gain the name 'The Apartment Complex Canine'." 
                          
Chungha wiped the tears from her eyes, pressing a hand against George's chest as she regained her composure. 
                          
"I have never laughed that hard before, oh my god." She took a deep breath. 
                          
George smiled fondly as her fingers returned to his hair. A comfortable silence swam into the room, taking over the atmosphere. Chungha looked down to see him already staring up at her. 
                          
Without warning, George grabbed her chin and pulled her down so that he could press a kiss to her lips. She smiled feeling a little shy, but her timid feelings went away as quick as they came when George connected their lips together. 
                          
Every kiss felt like the first for George, his heart raced faster than the first time and his cheeks flushed darker everytime but he didn't have it in him to complain, he loved the way it felt.
                          
He honestly felt like a school boy with his first girlfriend.
                          
Their bliss was interrupted by a knock on the door which caused them to break apart. Pluto jumped up and barked, now completely alert. 
                          
Unwillingly, George untangled himself from Chungha's warmth and headed towards the door expecting it to be a neighbour.
                          
"I'm so sorry for the barking I was- oh." 
                          
Standing there in front of him was not a neighbour, but someone that George and Chungha both knew very well. 
                          
"Hwasa..."
