Our House Pet by Kang Miju
We secretly came out and carefully went down to 1st floor. Whew, this is purely a stamina test. Hehe... a stamina test.
"Darong?"
"...."
"When I start, go get something in the blue or green bags from that end of the hall way. I will start from the opposite side. Ah, right now we have to wait."
The thing that I wanted to do was... stealing milk and Yakult. It's a minor stealing I did this with my neighborhood friends once or twice when I was little. Yesterday, because that ajumma told me about this I who was really bored remembered this memory, so I decided to do it with Darong. We were sitting down on the emergency stairway and waited for milk lady to come. Hehe.. I don't have to worry about Ahrong and Yurong's milk for a while. Oh yay!
"When is she coming?"
"..."
I started with excitement, but waiting was very boring and long. I might go to sleep like this. Suddenly, I heard footsteps, and I knew who it was.
'Oh yay! The milk lady!'
The milk lady put those milk in each house and got on the elevator. I checked which floor she was going and started my plan.
"Darong! Start!"
I lowered my voice as much as possible, and Darong started really well. Those milks were going inside my bags, and I was satisfied with this much. It's weird to rob everything. Tomorrow is 3rd floor Yakult!
"Lala, it's good to have lots of milk. Hoho!"
I put the milks in the refrigerator with full of excitement. I rewarded Darong enough, and we took a nice nap and went to sleep early. Like that day one, two, three... and when it was day four, I started get tired of this. Half of the refrigerator was full of milk and Yakult.
"Darong. Are sick of this? You don't like milk now?"
"...."
I can tell he was agreeing to it. Now I get sick if I look at the milk. I'm just amazed at Darong for eating the sausages that much. But Yurong and Ahrong drinks well... This is a bad thing to do should I stop? I was about to rob 4th floor... I'm going to give up after today. Tomorrow... should I start a new thing?
(Ding dong)
"Who is it?"
"I am neighborhood a.s.sociation president."
The voice was totally different from the ajumma before. Calmer and softer voice. I slowly went and opened the door.
"What's wrong?"
"Ah, you know. These days there has been a milk thief roaming around."
"Oh my oh my! How scary. A milk thief?"
"Yes, all the floors up to 4th got robbed. We think this thief steals one floor each day, so we had a meeting."
"So?"
"We told the police first. They said they are going to walk around in the morning. But I'm telling all the residents to be careful."
"Hard to live these days. It's better than robbing the house but still... a milk thief? Anyway thank you very much."
"It's nothing. Then.."
After I talked with the president ajumma, somewhere in my body I felt really guilty. Actually... I felt sorry, and it was getting boring, so I was about to stop. I was just doing this for fun not to earn money for the milk! Act..actually... I was thinking of saving money to use less money on the milk. When I was living by myself, I didn't even thinking of doing this, but now I have my a family to feed, so I automatically did this.
(Ding dong)
I hear next house door bell. Oh yeah!
"Darong?"
"...."
"Don't you want to do something fun again with me?"
I tempted him with the sausage again. This will be the last thing. I wanted to do this more than stealing milk. That was... That was...
"Dingdong dingdong dingdong dingdong dingdong!"
"Run!"
The thing that I'm doing right now. Early in the morning, waking up people by pressing door bells and run away. This work needs a great amount of stamina and great speed.
"Dingdong dingdong dingdong dingdong dingdong!"
I pressed exactly five times and ran away. You get really get tired just by running one floor. There is no way people will come out. People will think 's.h.i.t, so loud' and just stay on the bed, and they will hear another bell from next door and another bell from next next door. The sound will spread like an echo. I disguised myself and saw a police car pa.s.sing by a moment ago. Muahaha!
"This time I will go to the odd number.. which is 5th floor!"
To save my stamina, I rode the elevator and went up to the 5th floor. Already 5th floor. Came out secretly and checked if n.o.body was here.
(noise)
Huh? There is a person. I looked for a place to hide. Unluckily, the emergency door was locked. What should I do? What should I do?
"Gyak!"
"Ouch!"
I b.u.mped into somebody running towards my side. That person was big, so I got pushed away some distance and fell. When I tried to stand up....
(drops)
So many milks dropping on the floor. My eyes got wide.
"Huk.. Mi..milk... thief! Mm!"
When I was about shout out milk thief! a thick hand covered my mouth.
"Mm mm!"
I struggled, but his big hand did its job... I can't even breathe.
"f.u.c.k, these days there was no milk left, so I was little suspicious... Didn't think there will be an inspector."
I did that. I should've listen to the next door ajumma. Ah, no time for this. Last time was a pervert and this time is a thief? Ak! while I was frowning, I saw someone's feet. Yes... Darong... Darong... ah, but I can't talk.
"b.i.t.c.h, shut the h.e.l.l up. Okay?"
Quietly I nodded. He can't never pick up those milk with his one hand. He removed his hand because I was unexpectedly cooperative, and it seemed like I was trustworthy. Mister. Do you know that? Women's hearts are fickle~
"Darong! Beat him!"
"f.u.c.k, you!"
(Kick!)
He was about to hit me. Before his hand could reach me, he flew away. After I almost got raped by a pervert, I studied Darong. He has a perfect skills to become my body guard pet. And I found a key word to move Darong.
Darong was very loyal and pretty pet. So... without any command he doesn't move. That time if I called out his name and asked for his help, it could've ended faster. After I found this out, whenever I was in danger I used this often.
"Oh no oh no! Oh my G.o.d! A thieffffff!"
I shouted my lungs out. I shouted pretty long and heard someone was running to us.
"Ajummas it's a thief!"
Many people came out with their pajamas on. They saw all the milk on the floor and figured out who's the thief. I shouted more.
"That thief has been stealing all those milk!"
Mister. For covering my mouth, take my sin too. They say people have to forgive one another. They say you can hate sin but don't have people so take my sin with you.
That day Darong and I became a hero in this apartment. Our weird disguise explained as to catch the thief and for while I didn't have to worry about what to eat. Ajummas brought many foods for us to eat to show grat.i.tude. Plus, one week later we are going to receive a brave citizen award. For only that? Some people will think that, but you know how ajummas talk. They exaggerate over and over again, so later it got concluded that I caught a famous thief that robbed the whole floor at once. Haha, it was fun it was fun. Let's do it again Darong!

In S. Korea, there is a milk delivery person who delivers milks. People who signed up for the delivery milk will have one of those bag on their doors. The delivery person will put the milk or Yakult or both in that bag early in the morning. I think the bag changed now... It was like that 10 years ago so...
It changed to something like this... BUT every different milk company has different bag...
The second picture is Yakult very small and very sweet drink!
So basically Haein stole all those milks, but she got sick of it. So she changed to ding dong ditch but ended up catching the real milk thief hahahaha
I don't think stealing milk is common though.... I mean milk? How much would you gain from that?
