My Puppy That Became Terrifying: EXO FanFiction

Prompt: My puppy that became terrifying: EXO FanFiction

It began on an unassuming Saturday afternoon, the kind of day where sunlight poured through the leaves of the old oak tree in the backyard, casting playful shadows on the grass. That was when I first laid eyes on him—an adorable golden retriever puppy with soft, fluffy fur and deep, soulful eyes that seemed to twinkle with mischief. I named him Baekhyun, after my favorite EXO member, his contagious energy and charm perfectly matching my new pet. The first few weeks with Baekhyun were nothing short of bliss. He bounded around the house, chewing on everything that fell into his line of sight, chasing after small insects like they were the prey of the century. I laughed whenever I found him snoozing in the strangest of positions, his little paws twitching as if he were chasing butterflies in his dreams. My friends would come over, and we’d cuddle him, snapping countless pictures to share on social media. Baekhyun became an instant sensation among my EXO-L friends, who loved the connection to our beloved group. But that sweet little bundle of fur harbored a secret, and it didn’t take long for it to reveal itself. It started subtly—little things at first. One night, as I was watching a new EXO music video, my neighbors had their music blaring through the walls. Baekhyun, who usually found solace in my company, suddenly growled, his posture tense and watchful as if he were guarding me against an invisible predator. I attributed it to the loud noise, chalking it up to a puppy being a puppy. Pets can be territorial, after all. But Baekhyun’s restlessness continued. One afternoon, while I was enjoying a cozy blanket fort I had built in the living room for a binge-watch session of “EXO’s Travel the World on EXO’s Dime”, Baekhyun began barking furiously at the empty hallway. His barks turned into fierce growls, and he stood rigid, staring at something I couldn’t see. My heart raced. Was there someone in the house? I crept closer, but as soon as my foot touched the floor, he veered his head towards me, confusion etched in his features, before returning to keep vigil over the darkened hallway. Things escalated when Baekhyun began to react to my EXO posters and memorabilia. It was bizarre; one moment, he would be the playful puppy I knew, and the next, he would hiss and growl. The poster of Baekhyun, the real one, seemed especially to irk him. I’d wake up in the middle of the night to the sounds of his frantic barking and find him staring at that poster as if it was a rival. Concerned by his sudden changes, I looked up information online and found out dogs can sometimes sense things that humans can’t. The idea of supernatural occurrences crept into my mind. Was my puppy trying to protect me from something lurking just out of sight? Ghosts? Spirits? I shook my head, pushing away the irrational fears while secretly wondering if my obsession with EXO had somehow granted my pet an otherworldly intuition. As the weeks passed, Baekhyun seemed to grow more aggressive. During one of my late-night dance parties where I would blast EXO’s songs, Baekhyun lunged at the television, barking as if he were about to attack a formidable foe. The sudden intensity made me jump, and the fun-filled party turned into a surreal moment of chaos. I tried to calm him down, but every time I played “Growl,” his behavior escalated. The irony was not lost on me—my cute puppy was turning into a terrifying little creature. The final straw came one rainy evening when I was feeling particularly down. As I watched “EXO’s Best Moments” compilation, I found myself overwhelmed with nostalgia, missing my friends and the concerts we used to attend together. I began to cry, and as my tears streamed down my cheeks, Baekhyun jumped up next to me, nuzzling me gently at first. But then something snapped, and in a wild frenzy, he began to growl at the screen, barking wildly as though he could physically chase the memories away. “Baekhyun, stop!” I shouted, struggling to regain control. He didn’t listen. In my mind, I imagined a battle taking place—a battle between my realistic, sweet puppy and some darker force I feared plagued him. The tension between us escalated, and it felt as though he transformed from my innocent pet into a guardian spirit, bound to protect me at all costs, even if his methods appeared twisted. In my heart, I knew he wasn’t malevolent; he was just an animal caught up in the web of emotions that surrounded me. But I couldn’t shake the feeling that perhaps my connection with EXO, something that was meant to bring joy into my life, had inadvertently caused the rift between my pet and me. Desperate for answers, I consulted a local pet psychic who assured me Baekhyun was not possessed but merely wanted to shield me from negative energies he could perceive. Gaining clarity, I decided to take action. I created a calming environment in our home with calming music and spelled out a new routine that included playtime where Baekhyun could express himself healthily. Gradually, the clouds began to lift. With patience, I coaxed Baekhyun back to his joyful self, and for every seemingly terrifying moment, I managed to find laughter. We danced together to “Call Me Baby,” and I even hung a softer, more playful poster of Baekhyun, the member of my dreams, not the dog. From that day on, I embraced the chaotic energy that was my puppy, and together, we created a different kind of magic. He became my fierce protector but, most importantly, the furry companion that would always be by my side, transforming from a cute little puppy into my brave guardian while reminding me of love, friendship, and the excitement of living in glorious harmony.
