"No because I'm mind blown."

As per usual, Namjoon didn't have a single clue what George was talking about as he entered the dorm, hair poked up in every direction from the wind. He slammed the door behind him and aggressively ripped off his jacket and threw it up onto the wrack. He then kicked off his shoes and turned back to Namjoon, who was watching him with a blank stare.

"What?" The leader finally asked.

"I was on tiktok right! Also I couldn't pick up the milk because an old woman grabbed it before me and I nearly fought her but then I realised that's not a good look, so we don't have milk. Anyway, I was on tiktok- oh! I also nearly got into a car crash on the way home but I didn't because I'm built different, you know? Now, back to what I was saying- wait...what was I saying?"

"Wait hold on-"

"AH TIKTOK! I was on tiktok- is that a new shirt?" George cocked his head to the side, eyes trailing up and down Namjoon's chest with a smirk. "Look at you! You're ripped!"

"George!" Namjoon raised his voice, not in a malicious way at all but it was more to get George to finally close his mouth, which he did, staring back at Namjoon with a blank expression. "What do you mean you nearly got into a car crash? Are you okay?"

George's shoulders slouched and he waved his hand. "My car is fine, therefore, I am fine. I managed to swerve out of the way just in time, think it was a drunk driver or something. Anyway! Yeah, the milk. Couldn't get it, sorry."

"Who asked you to get milk? We have milk."

"Nobody asked me. My brain was just like 'yo let's just go get some milk' and then there wasn't any. Well, there was but the old lady got it first. I swear, I could've taken her but I can't really wrestle a grandma for milk in the middle of a supermarket."

Namjoon simply shook his head, looking utterly done with George Lee. He was about to stand up and leave the room when George let out an ear piercing scream, honestly it sounded like he was being murdered.

The leader stopped in his tracks and slowly turned to face George, who was still going. No wonder he's one of the lead vocalists, those are some strong lungs. Now, standing in one spot, looking dumbfounded, Namjoon patiently waited for George to shut up.

"What was that about?"

"You were about to leave before I could tell you about the tiktok thing. I had to stop you," George responded in a tone that made his explanation sound obvious.

"You couldn't have just asked me to stay?"

"Bursting your eardrums is more fun." George shrugged before pulling out his phone. "Anyway, I saw this tiktok where it was like 'I've never told my dog my name' and Bro! The dog reacted! So I wanna try it with Pluto, and you need to record it."

"Record it for what?" Namjoon couldn't help but feel amused by George's random idea.

"Twitter, obviously. I want Army to see."

Okay, that was kinda cute. Even Namjoon couldn't deny it.

The two ventured off to find the small dog, ready to film the video but finding Pluto took longer than they expected because he wasn't responding to either of their calls and worry was starting to rise in George's chest. Had Pluto gotten out again?

Noticing the panic in George's eyes, Namjoon quickly instructed him to sit down and handed him some water to help steady his breaths before he ran around the dorm calling for Pluto.

"Seriously?" Namjoon found the pup curled up in Hoseok's closet, tucked comfortably against one of his hoodies. Lifting him up, Namjoon headed out of the room and returned the dog back to his owner, who was more than relieved to see him.

George attacked his baby with kisses, gently scolding him for hiding. He set Pluto down on the floor and got down beside him, gesturing for Namjoon to do the same. Once the camera was rolling, George turned to his dog.

"Pluto," George announced, getting his dog's attention. The pup tilted his head to the side at the sound of George's voice and his ears perked up. "My name is George."

Immediately, Pluto's head shot in the direction of Namjoon genuinely looking like he was in shock. Namjoon chuckled behind the camera as Pluto slowly turned back to George.

"Tell him you're name is Geun and see what he does."

"Pluto," George called again. "My name is Geun."

Pluto didn't look as bothered as he did the first time, now far more interested in the object that was recording him. Ignoring his owner, Pluto leaned closer to the phone and began sniffing it. Namjoon swiftly pulled it away when Pluto attempted to lick it.

"Pluto no, you can't lick Army."

Namjoon looked down at the ground as a laugh shook his body. "The way you worded that just does not sit right with me."

"He's trying to give them kisses," George spoke in a baby voice, immediately cringing at the sound.

He reached out to grab his dog and settled him in his lap before taking the camera from Namjoon.

"That was me uh introducing myself to my dog," he almost sounded stiff, voice void of any emotion. Realizing how he sounded, George snorted. "This is awkward now but uh yeah. Bye I guess?"

He ended the video and rewatched it back, finding his awkward ending rather amusing. He quickly uploaded it to Twitter before tucking his phone away in his pocket as the app blew up with notifications.

"Thank you for helping!" George called out as Namjoon began walking away.

"You're welcome!"

Once he was completely out of sight, George turned to his dog and narrowed his eyes before quietly mumbling, "look I know you can talk. I won't tell anyone, just say something to me."

As expected, Pluto didn't talk but George wasn't convinced. He would be trying again in the future.
