บท 5: Alphie's trick! (1)

"About those vampires, will they attack me if I tried to protect you?"

"That… honestly, I don't know, Sir," Pomeranian Alpheus replied. He really had no idea of what happened after he jumped into this new place. He only knew one thing, or at least, he only had been ordered to do one thing by his Uncle.

He just goes into hiding for an unknown amount of time to persevere his life. He was also told to obey anything that was ordered by the lord of the house. Because this was the safest he could go, despite it being a random location.

"But, worry not, Sir! I will not put your life in harm! Please let me stay here!" Alpheus tried to persuade Junshik, hoping that he would be accepted.

"Huh…"

Junshik hesitated for a moment. He tried to rethink whether it was worth keeping a man, who also happened to be a werepom for absolutely no reason.

And everything was so sudden. He just finished his self-care streaming routine and then lamenting over his failure to find a streaming partner. Then a man suddenly fell from a portal and turned into a Pomeranian right now.

'Honestly, even though he cannot turn into a wolf at all times, at least he could shapeshift into a Pomeranian, still good enough for a magic show. Maybe I should call an agency. I can sell him as a magical werepom.'

'Or maybe I could just do the show myself? I bet if I put it in Youtube and Naver, it'll blow up. I can use the ads money for my own.'

'This werepom is already a disappointment, might as well take some advantage to earn money. Maybe I could use him as….'

"S—Sir?" Alpheus tilted his head, wondering what took the lord of the house so long to approve his stay.

"Hmmm… I'm not sure. You see, this place prohibits pets, so I cannot keep you like my dog," Junshik stated.

"But, I'm not a pet…." Alpheus sulked. He was a simple man, but he still knew that he had royal lineage. Even in his original kingdom, he had his own regal title.

"Well, if I keep you as your human form, then we will be charged double by my landlord."

"Eh, Sir, you're not the lord of the house?" Alpheus tilted his head.

"I rented this small apartment under few circumstances," Junshik said. "But no dogs rule is absolute. There have been many complaints about a dog barking from the previous tenant."

Cha Junshik grabbed Pomeranian Alpheus's body and separated him from Junshik's collarbone. He raised the Pomeranian body, making Alpheus worried.

"S—Sir?" Alpheus started struggling because he felt uncomfortable being stared at like this.

"Tell me, you werepom, what can you do to pay the double rent? I'm not generous enough to pay double for your tenant place here. So you have to fend yourself for this," Junshik said. He was logical enough to know that he couldn't feed and pay rent for another person in his small apartment.

"Wu…" Alpheus thought he could get a generous lord of the house that would willingly take him in. Besides, what job he could do anyway? He was born and raised a prince…

Alpheus tried to find a reason that would convince the lord of the house, but he couldn't find any. He didn't know what kind of job that he could do as well.

"Umm… Alphie can do a fun trick, Sir!"

"Trick?" Junshik frowned.

"Yes! Let me show you, Sir!" Alpheus struggled even harder, so he could escape Junshik's grasp.

After enough struggle, Junshik finally let him go, and he landed smoothly on the bed. His tail raised upward and his tongue out. He looked like a real excited Pomeranian…

Junshik saw the full confidence in this werepom's face, so he got curious as well.

Alpheus had learned this trick when he was young. He never thought that he had to use his secret technique in front of someone other than his late Mom, but this was a means of survival. He had to survive no matter what!

Alpheus took a deep breath, "Behold, my secret Pom technique!"

"Arf! Arf!"

Pomeranian Alpheus turned its body in the direction of the wall at the left side of the bed and then dashed straight!

Right before hitting the wall, he pushed his body, using his front legs as a spring and doing a mini somersault as a Pomeranian.

Alpheus landed perfectly after he finished his trick. He puffed up his chest and turned his body to face the lord of the house again, expecting to be praised,

"Woof! Woof!" Alpheus barked excitedly. "How is it, Sir?"
