The meeting with the dog shelter run by Na-yeon’s acquaintance didn’t take long to arrange. From the shelter’s perspective, there was absolutely no downside.

Finding someone willing to adopt a stray dog was already a blessing. But having the adopter be a rising star in the entertainment industry, willing to promote dog adoption at the same time?@@novelbin@@

"Thank you so much, Ha-eun. Truly, thank you."

To the shelter director, Kwon Hong-eun, Ha-eun’s arrival felt like a miracle. She held Ha-eun’s hands tightly, expressing her gratitude repeatedly.

For Ha-eun, however, the formal tone felt a bit uncomfortable, especially coming from someone who was a close friend of her mother.

"Um, you can speak casually with me," Ha-eun suggested awkwardly.

"Yeah, Hong-eun, it’s weird for you to use formal speech with Ha-eun while you’re so casual with me," Na-yeon added.

"Ah… should I? Okay, I guess I will."

Before the meeting officially began, they sorted out their dynamics. Just like when Na-yeon and Kwon Hong-eun warmly exchanged greetings earlier, a more casual tone felt natural.

Once that was settled, they proceeded with the meeting. Ha-eun had already chosen the dog she wanted to adopt after browsing the shelter’s blog in advance.

"The puppy has had its vaccinations, but you should still take it to the vet, just in case. Since it’s still young, you’ll need to soak its food in water before feeding it," Kwon Hong-eun explained.

They discussed the dog’s current health, care instructions, and its backstory.

"This one had been adopted once before, but unfortunately, the adopter had an accident and couldn’t take care of it anymore, so it was returned."

"That’s… unlucky," Ha-eun said sympathetically.

"Still, it’s lucky in a way—it’s going to your family now. That’s a happy ending for it."

1. Ha-eun posted about promoting shelter dog adoption on Instagram a few days ago.

2. Diah mentioned adopting a dog during her stream, also a few days ago.

3. Q.E.D.

* Diah, just start the stream already.

* Diah, how are you going to deny this when the evidence is piling up?

* Wait, Ha-eun didn’t just promote adoption? She adopted a dog too?

* Can people stop comparing them? It’s uncomfortable for both sides.

* The mods are definitely lurking, watching us like hawks.

* If Diah really is Ha-eun, she’s probably sweating bullets right now.

* “ ”—this guy just said “ ” LOL.
