"It's funny how it works out like that, isn't it?" Samnang mused. If he could afford it, he would have moved out of his parents house once he graduated high school. But his ideal roommate up and got a boyfriend, and then moved in with said boyfriend (not that he had anything against Hwangjung, or at least nothing more than surface-level feelings of jealousy and anger - it was more important he made Jiuk happy).
"Well I mean, I could teach you, y'know." Samnang said, sticking out his tongue playfully. "Or rather, re-teach you, I guess. And teach your pets in the process!" He laughed, "You already get looks with a cat a leash, but imagine the attention you'd get from having a dog and a cat on a skateboard on top of that."

Saehwan nodded at Samnang's comment about how things turned out. He sighed and said, "Once I'm all graduated and have a job, I should be able to get my own place before too long at least, though trying to find a place to rent with a dog and a cat sounds like more challenge than I'm sure I want. Might just stick it out a little longer until I can afford to buy my own place."
When Samnang made the offer to re-teach him to skateboard, the mood shifted for Saehwan though, he grinned at Samnang and asked, "You really mean it? That sounds great, and I'd love to have an excuse to hang out with you more."
He hoped that it hadn't been a half meant offer. He was finding himself actively liking talking to Samnang again, and it would be nice to have someone to meet up with regularly and actually talk other than his twin.

"That's legit. I grew up always assuming my parents would say no to pets. Probably assumed one of the older siblings had tried asking before. I'd love to have a cat or dog when I move out. Don't even care which." Samnang said. "But it does make sense for you to wait a bit until you can buy a place." He agreed.
He nodded enthusiastically at the question about skateboarding. "Heck yeah I do! I'd love to have a buddy to ride with, and it's all the more fun if we can teach even one of your pets. " He laughed, "Not gonna lie, that's another reason I want a pet - to teach it tricks that will make other people lose their minds." He calmed down a bit and gave Saehwan a genuine smile, "I also would like an excuse to hang out with you. Especially since it'll be an equal exchange - your Korean for my skateboarding."

Saehwan chuckled, replying in Korean but being sure to speak clearly and slowly, "Alright, it sounds like a deal."
They'd arrived to his house, and he pointed it out and reverted to English, "This is me, come on in, my area's upstairs, and it will only take a few minutes to get the pets gathered."
He led the way in, collecting both animals' leashes and harnesses from their hooks by the stairs, and headed upstairs, glad that it looked like his dad wasn't home yet. There was a good chance that even if he had been, they wouldn't have crossed paths, but he didn't feel like doing the dance of introducing his dad to a friend, especially one that he hadn't really interacted with in a while.
Both animals bounded up to meet them when he let them into the upstairs area. Saehwan got down on the floor to give pets and ruffle fur. He looked back to see Samnang's reaction and said, "Meet Jeonsa and Hwanghu, they're happy to get some pets before we head out."
He laughed as Hwanghu leapt onto his shoulder as he stood back up, and he told her, "You know, that makes it harder to put your harness on."
He kept her balanced and slightly awkwardly, but clearly in a practiced way, reached up and hooked the harness around her while she surveyed the room from her perch on his shoulder. He added for Samnang's benefit, "She likes being tall."

"Yes!" Samnang replied excitedly to Saehwan's agreement.
He followed Saehwan up the stairs, gasping softly as the animals came into view. He happily pet Jeonsa as he waited for Hwanghu's harness to be put on. "Hello sweet baby." He cooed to the dog. He kept glancing up to Saehwan to make sure he wasn't holding them up or anything, and laughed a bit at Saehwan's final comment. "I can see that." He said, standing up properly to let the cat sniff him before petting her. "Oh, I love them so much." Sam said, his face soft. He laughed as Jeonsa protested to being ignored and pet the dog too. "Ugh, I want pets so badly."

Saehwan smiled watching Samnang greet and interact with his pets. It was a good interaction. Samnang clearly liked the animals, and he handled greeting them well, neither getting overwhelmed by them nor upsetting them somehow. Both animals were well behaved, but Saehwan knew that they could both be sensitive to someone not treating them the right way.
He smiled and nodded to Samnang's comment about wishing that he had pets. He said, "I know it's not the same, but I'm happy to give you plenty of chances to hang out with these two. They are high energy pets so having friends who like to go do things with me with them is always good. Plus, you're going to teach me and them how to skateboard properly."
His tone got light and teasing at the end. He checked over his supplies, shouldering a small backpack with food, water, and bags and a few other things, including a spare leash, on the shoulder that Hwanghu wasn't standing on. He said, "Alright, let's head back out. These two are clearly ready to get going. Once we're actually out on the walk, if you'd like, I'd be happy to let you hold Jeonsa's leash for a little, but she tends to try to pull the most at the start of the walk. You're also totally fine to not take the leash for a while, but I know that sometimes that can be fun."
He led the way back downstairs and out through the front door, glad to have not crossed paths with his dad and had to introduce a friend. He asked, "If you could have a pet, what would you want?"

"Maybe that would give me the animal interactions I need to get through not having any pets." Samnang mused, liking the idea of getting bonus pet interactions with re-interacting with a friend. "And I'm also usually pretty high energy because I'm fueled by caffeine." He added, only partially joking. He looked down to Jeonsa and put his hands on his knees to look at her properly. "Are you ready to learn to skateboard?" He asked her in an excited voice. He laughed as the dog replied by wagging her tail faster, and pet her on the head.
He straightened up and followed Saehwan downstairs. "Oh, I'd love to walk her!" He said. He paused and thought about what kind of pet he'd want. "hmm... I think a dog. I love all animals, but with a dog, I'd more than likely be able to take it on adventures, and that something I'd want to do. Plus, I know a lot of animals can be trained, but dogs tend to be the easiest to train."

Saehwan grinned at Samnang's enthusiasm and said, "In that case, I'll definitely let you hold the leash for a bit once we're past the couple of busy street crossings. Fair warning, she does like to pull a bit if she feels like you aren't going the right pace. It's better once we get on the trails and she has more interesting things to look at and smell."
Saehwan navigated them with ease of practice to the entrance to the trails down to the beach near his dad's house. They could potentially use them to make their way over to the skate park, but he figured that both animals would be better behaved if they got the chance to move for a bit first.
Hwanghu stayed on his shoulder until they reached the softer ground of the trail, leaping down to sniff things and walk beside Jeonsa. Saehwan glanced over at Samnang and said, "We can take the trails to get over to the skatepark if you wanted to go over there today, but it might be easier to have today be an introduction."
He was glad that Jeonsa had settled a little bit into sniffing things, so he said, "If you wanted a chance to hold the leash for a bit, now's probably a good time. Keep a firm grip on her though."

Samnang kept a note on all the warnings and advice Saehwan was giving him about walking Jeonsa. "We can just walk some trails today. I'd like to get them used to me before I try to train them to do tricks, y'know? Especially since it's on scary moving things." He said, wiggling his hands as he mentioned teaching them to skateboard.
He was intrigued watching Hwanghu when Saehwan offered to let him walk Cheonsa. "Yes!" He said excitedly and all too quickly as Saehwan offered the leash. "I'll be sure to keep a tight grip on it." He promised, gently taking the elash from his friend and holding it tightly. Jeonsa tugged a little bit to sniff more things, but otherwise wasn't being too demanding at the moment.
