When he was satisfied he moved away to rinse and dry the dishes. They finished quickly and headed to their rooms to get ready. Taeyong was deciding on which pair of shoes he wanted to wear, Y/N seriously bought too many, when there was a knock on the door. He waltzes into Y/N's room whenever he wants yet you still knocks before entering his. He opened the door to a co-operate Y/N. You wore a white chiffon blouse and checkered pencil skirt with a matching blazer. Your hair was styled away from your face. Your earrings, necklace and bracelet are a matching set. Taeyong is certain those diamonds are real. He felt severely underdressed in his simple Tee and jeans.
                          


                          
"Which do you want to wear?" You presented both collars. He was surprised, Taeyong wasn't aware you bought both of them.
                          


                          
"Help me get dressed?" he asked cutely.
                          


                          
You smiled and looked at your watch, "sure we have time", you entered his room and went through his closet.
                          


                          
You got a little too excited about dressing up Taeyong and now they were five minutes late. Taeyong had his breakfast in the car, he fed Y/N your sandwich as you sped through the streets of Seoul. Your office was a longer drive than the trip to the shelter. Forty-five minutes later the black Prado pulled into the parking lot of a huge building. Taeyong looked around with stars in his eyes. The child-like wonder was so mesmerizing you almost forgot they were late. Taeyong secured the lunch bags while you carried your laptop and portfolio. They were greeted by your director on entry.
                          


                          
"Good morning L/N-issi. Is this Lee-issi?" Go-Eun spotted the cat hybrid behind her top architect. He was dressed in a simple white button-up French-tucked in fitted black jeans. A few undone buttons exposed his collarbones and the matt black collar. His hair was styled to frame his face.
                          


                          
The hybrid's ear twitched at the mention of his name, "good morning."
                          


                          
"Yes, this is Taeyong", You noticed Taeyong's stiff posture and rubbed his ears. "I should seriously thank you for suggesting I adopted a hybrid. I'll treat you to dinner tonight Sajangnim", you grinned. Go-Eun watched smilingly as he melted into your touch. "He's rather shy so refrain from sending anyone to my office."
                          


                          
The director nodded understanding, "he seems to trust you. I'm glad you found each other."
                          


                          
The pair was ignorant of the curious glances. They made an unlikely picture but complemented each other beyond words. You guided Taeyong to your office and connected his devices to the Wi-Fi. You would be in a meeting for about three hours so you told him which number to call if he needed anything. Taeyong had a few questions but kept them until Y/N returned. The hybrid busied himself with his classes and playing games until the door clicked open. You came in leagues of worn down but your eyes sparkled with excitement.
                          


                          
"Was it tough?" he rolled over on the couch to face you.
                          


                          
You sauntered to your desk and took off your blazer. "Un", you smiled, "but two of my models have been approved and I've been assigned another big project."
                          


                          
"Congratulations", his tail swayed happily, "what's the big project?"
                          


                          
"Secret", you wiggled your brows.
                          


                          
Taeyong laughed at your silly expression. He aimed an excited smile at you, "we'll be eating out tonight?"
                          


                          
You nodded. "Whenever I come into the office I don't leave until very late", you confessed smiling, "we should be able to leave before eight tonight."
                          


                          
He hummed his understanding. "Are there others like me?" he finally asked. He could smell other hybrids the moment he stepped into the building.
                          


                          
You understood his words after a moment. "Some are employees and some visit with their owner. We actually have a hybrid only lounge, a safe space of sorts. Do you wanna see it?" Taeyong thought about it for a moment then shook his head. He'd rather stay with his Y/N. You sat at your desk and booted up the laptop "If you feel like walking I can give you a tour." In Y/N fashion, you put on your glasses and got to work. Taeyong has never said it to you but he likes seeing you in them. He's not sure why he just does.You became immersed in work, as you do when the power saver popped up. You plugged in the charger but the device wasn't charging. You sighed and manoeuvred the laptop some when there was a loud crash. Startled you looked up to see Taeyong under the glass coffee table. His ears were attentive as he looked around. You moved to put the laptop down when you saw him dash from under the table to pounce on the couch. You noticed the power saver had closed and the small blue light from the charging port was aimed at your hybrid. You quickly covered it and the man sat up confused. Keeping the port covered You carefully placed down your device then adjusted the stand so the laptop would continue to charge. You glanced at your hybrid and chuckled. At the sound, Taeyong faced you. His catlike eyes in a slow transition to the human counterpart. He smiled a little embarrassed. You would invest in laser light. They fell into the lull of silence both focused on their tasks while enjoying each others company.
