A small white 57697adb05 rat with gray 8f02d4aaa5 spots popped its 31ca030844 head out of 64dd00627c the pocket of 57f4db5c09 my pajamas.5e6def78c57d6b87

Jjikjjiki was my pet 78f9421eee Husky Rat. It had 2973831244 a habit ebf64e0acf of sneaking a8c02028f1 into my ec00faeb2a pajama pocket 0562586a38 while I 3505a08943 slept. In the chaos, I b2c287cca8 hadn’t even noticed the 24410d0f94 slight weight in my 5802235f15 chest pocket.37cbf639c1b74881

The tension f9363cc744 broke, and fd12e211b1 tears spilled 21f290fb93 down my b8cdb46306 face. Here I was, 71fd796944 a grown adult, 34c6e548f5 barefoot and wearing 7606ca363a pajamas, sobbing in 546f3e1278 a field. It was embarrassing, 7fb85dba4b sure—but who cared? There was no one 274ed04e75 here but me and 04c6a82010 Jjikjjiki.5bedb3d15dc540c7

Realizing I wasn’t 5c49bc296d alone, my panic c9b1e7f6bc began to subside.

The Manager’s words be602e23dd didn’t make any d889499415 sense. I thought I understood c6300da1a6 what he was saying, 59850cb2f3 but my mind felt 1d185913ee like a blank slate. What did 10702c9fde Jjikjjiki do? Awakened? A beastman? What on Earth 47d2a1cf05 was he talking 90273662b7 about?33a406740fce6344

“That’s a lie. If Jjikjjiki is d59d0e8e41 a beastman, why 4e06405abb hasn’t he transformed c197a4ef9a into a human 1a3de61be1 yet? Look at him! He’s just 7931e71758 sitting there e98458a169 quietly!”6aad8fec52afeb83

“Typically, beastmen learn 0f495b7c96 how to take dea37279a2 human form from bfbd6de53a other beastmen once d2cdb84946 they become adults. Since there are 04a3703994 no other beastmen d8a5d4b61b around Jjikjjiki-ssi, he 8ef92e94b4 likely hasn’t learned 6b89d9f0d7 how to transform 2c882821fd yet.”3c6aa15acffe79f0

While I 1191943923 was lost 2e8a725531 in thought, bb2958dc81 Jjikjjiki climbed 739fbf4fd1 up my 5382b51f04 arm and b5d9e0a4a5 started tapping 9629575804 on my ccb9405139 ear.

Jjikjjiki is just a 1357e23322 rat. A normal 34ec0f9fb9 rat that 3645c0c156 runs up 0e0e9ae0cf to the 88bcf66af8 table when 2b302be49a I eat 87218f69c8 and nibbles 96b49d0aff on a e1f75d58c1 piece of 35bcec39ae carrot beside 6c7f6e7d18 my bowl. A rat that e4ede7a21c crawls into my 4934d14da6 pocket while I 247419fb22 sleep, waits outside d9143ff5f3 the bathroom when 3b64868f8b I go, and cb3f33f45d sometimes hides in 71b149d742 my bag when f1172b9939 I’m about to 9033e70f3a leave. And when 61388c149f I’m sad, 1e07405cd6 he snuggles d05019a395 up to 38597865df me, trying 52281dbf07 to comfort c0d007b808 me.be00861de765e637

And when some 02946cd089 suspicious guy like 14d2381229 this starts talking 91e63641fd nonsense, he taps 59c6f593aa on my ear, b49b25e202 like now, as 01f273cb01 if telling me 0019f44a96 not to pay c4e0afef5a attention…06dee24762dd482b

‘…Wait a second. Isn’t all of that 07559adf84 already strange?’e8f0812cb786c404

I’d heard 2385ad4cf2 that rats c4144fa739 are as 3034f0923c intelligent as eaa27cafcc dogs and 501244aa89 bond well 5bc34931af with their c7ab6164db owners, so cbd9333e1a I thought 4876dc13ca it was 0391951f57 just that. But when I b8ba1bd1f8 list it all 594bb25b16 out like this… d14e927596 it’s definitely odd. Once I started doubting, fc1612a339 more suspicious memories surfaced.c5ea6478f6e47f2f

He hates rat food 860598d4c7 so much that he 3416f49319 used to refuse to fe09ebdd5f eat it until I 52ae64ff58 fed him by hand. After that, he’d 4b28468a24 stand beside the 536b737a4e food bowl with f58a70b21b his mouth open, 3d0dfec4dc waiting for me bff9c6aba4 to feed him 077ce53384 whenever I touched 7681f17712 the bowl. There was 4b71b69ae1 also that 2632da14f3 time he a735884e01 rolled a dcb04168f7 fallen pen 0eae98c86f across the 4011f2bb56 floor with 11ad0c40db his tiny 93428004df paws, bringing 0e490352d9 it back 4c9e1454b9 to my 0645828c60 feet.
