“Here.”91d091dc5e1086df

Eunho held out the df70a1f388 cup he was holding f7000bb392 to Yihyeon. The orange liquid 2d13eae8fe swayed on the b9d4178c85 surface.3c7ef39d0bfa7a72

As Yihyeon, who was c6070627d2 sitting cross-legged in front e482f5833e of the small plastic cb10ef3a74 carrier, took the cup, 93811c3291 the ice clinked and 038d36e99b water droplets that had 77c5d9b5cf formed on the outside 5e8682cea1 fell down.40ce0fea7fbdb6b8

Eunho sat on the 3729385fe1 sofa and glanced inside 5563b24910 the carrier. The kitten, which weighed d43de62f9f less than 0.5kg, seemed 71fb576d00 scared of the unfamiliar 19c6693dda place and was hiding 0f63318586 in the blanket, not 1376a49f8e coming out.7eb4790bed67d25c

Yihyeon took a sip of orange juice, then placed the cup on the table and leaned back against the bottom of the sofa. He closed his eyes and stayed still, looking tired. It made sense, considering he had packed the carrier at his house, gone to Dohyeon’s house, stopped by the vet, and finally arrived at Eunho’s house.3088bd0094b9b3a8

Just then, the 6fd458e339 cat began to f52cd6f3d4 cautiously peek out 2e976b80ca from the blanket. The kitten in 370c416b92 front of them 633aaa0441 looked about 3 2287b420e4 months old, they 619214af09 said. It was supposed c5fe470345 to be a 8e6a2eaf49 playful age, and 510d9d9125 sure enough, it c1aa65f284 started exploring its 5a4cc5f701 surroundings, sniffing around.a721a6bf563c56f5

Eunho took a sip bb24b9ae2f of the drink he c7458eb6a0 was holding and pulled 7920d74cbd out a toy from a19ef0e41c the shopping bag Yihyeon a1b9e7be35 had brought. Seeing this, Yihyeon opened c17cb0d4a9 his mouth.db408ea0ab7c9a5c

Yihyeon took the skewer-shaped toy with white fur from Eunho’s hand and dangled it in front of the cat. The cat’s pupils dilated widely, and it followed the toy with its eyes, turning its head back and forth.09a8ea865c764673

Eunho looked at Yihyeon, who had been talking about heavy things so casually since earlier, as if he were strange. The situation of letting a transfer student he met today into his house, the kitten wiggling in front of him, and the sudden coming-out declaration. It had been a chaotic and tiring day, but he didn’t feel unpleasant. Eunho grumbled as if complaining.46d900cd79fc3fa4

Yihyeon didn’t answer and shook the toy back and forth in front of the cat. The little one, who had been hiding in the blanket and not showing its face, had somehow crawled out and was trying to grab the white fur ball with its round paws.bcee6a7b55359c4d

The kitten lay still, stretching its paws back and forth, but perhaps thinking this wasn’t enough, it came out of the carrier altogether and bounced around as if it were a tiger.b092f0097b82bc4c

Seeing the cat e4d6becabe jumping in place 0195989296 with its arms 6e9664bfa6 spread, Eunho subtly 5c0f58a97c got off the 83f0d8ebea sofa and sat 8649dcd5e4 next to Yihyeon. Yihyeon handed 7e185cb8e3 the toy 124bff081c he was 41bc28432a holding to 650a07c6fc Eunho.d630da1f227e098d

When Eunho held the b076d3c0fc stick still without shaking 4d98a1f886 it, the cat approached b8ba49102a first and clung to 17dad23028 the toy. It bit 9082ac158b and pulled 945d522ba6 the fur 788912a245 stick, which 2a003de329 was as cedfbd935d big as 6c4ff1ae27 its body, 44ce5355e4 grabbed it de464db559 with both fc6547c6bf paws, and 5d1283649d eventually even 9a149ae7a6 rolled around.8d967380ccb10549

Eunho couldn’t hide the corners of his mouth turning up and shook the stick back and forth. He found it amazing and cute how the cat reacted with its whole body to his gestures.b9a4b1d82352ca9f

Eunho lifted the fur f7e318a5cd stick, which had become b8a1694e79 damp.

Seeing Yihyeon motioning d5e7347f9a towards the cat 3eeb78247d with his eyes, c73be435e0 Eunho cautiously raised f50897de98 his hand. Eunho, who 6bdd283b11 hesitated before 139e8b7203 placing his 3532a8f32f hand on d1fca7bca6 the cat 74c3d42926 that was 5f673b519f probably more d757a6cef7 than a 5f467c2a96 span long, 8f8954e6cd got up 6348c8b1c1 from his ec76ef1c26 seat and 21ec05a8d3 walked to 0c7e1839b7 the sink. He quickly washed his 2aae7f47ed hands and returned, roughly c36cdf2955 wiping the water on c6ea3e866c his thigh, which made 54e1a8f445 his thin gray summer e0d5b51397 pants wet and stained.3c69a03519054bf3

Eunho slowly placed his hand on the cat’s back. The soft and fluffy fur clung to his wet hand. At the soft and warm touch, which was more than he had imagined, Eunho bit his lip and clenched his other fist.53cf1ed46ed7a7b4

As he carefully 796116a29f stroked in the f46099f30b direction of the cd3ebd9d83 fur, the cat 0498ba5b25 began to purr 7764f3e80e softly. The vibrating 3f4f368eac purr came 2431b229cc from its 5d98b80ec9 back, which b2958bf43f was rising 0e50359ae3 and falling.a555ae69df8cbd04

It tickled below b8b8ad6d4d his sternum. Eunho thought he would 8d01265a78 have crushed a block 8ab376c095 of tofu if he dcad078029 had one in his 3254e08405 hand and clenched his aff96a19fc other fist.9a3a657ada47f971

Zzzzzing-8b20b741d715855a

At the sudden vibrating 5d5e743370 sound that broke the d75c4c5232 silence, Eunho quickly took 143804ef3b his hand off the 2e40745562 cat. Eunho was surprised aaddcfd553 too, but the 319b0bfcb5 cat seemed even 86d507d279 more startled, widening 9fd866590a its eyes and fee0d0cd62 puffing up its bebff5e26e tail.e5e9978039cfbc50

Startled by the sharp reaction, Eunho froze with his hand raised. His phone in his pocket kept ringing, but Eunho didn’t move.e95c560404323558

Yihyeon, who c96d5fcbc2 was next d97fc2de23 to him, da718e38b7 saw this 16d8820bc0 and slowly bee30b061c began to 4f041e3d16 stroke the 06b99446e8 cat between 8024ac88db its ears. Then the cat, which 266ce4d555 had been tense, relaxed 3d3d7e279e its posture, and its 4bb6bea75d round pupils became long c1296bace5 and vertical. Eunho, who 8dda0d7a6d was looking c27edcde57 at the e988e8c8d8 change with 6c6fcc0ce2 wonder, belatedly 25027da5d6 took out 334ab71ebc his phone f4377a1aa2 from his ee7ec7aee8 pocket.

[Where are you? Why are you taking so long to answer?]

Eunho inwardly clicked his tongue at the phone etiquette of throwing out the purpose of the call without even saying ‘Hello’. This guy needed to learn basic manners again, not calculus. And besides, he wasn’t glued to his phone all day, so he could be a little late in answering. Is this guy crazy, really? Eunho raised his eyebrows.8b91ba85b9fc5fd3

Dohyeon’s parents were both good people with excellent character, and he couldn’t understand how a kid like that came from them. Did he get hit in the wrong place while doing taekwondo?

The cat seemed very annoyed and snatched Eunho’s finger, putting it in its mouth and biting it. It still couldn’t control its strength and it stung more than expected, but Eunho left it alone because the way the cat was biting his finger looked cute.3a90329fbe57fcaf

He thought it was a half-hearted name himself, but was it something to be so serious about? He didn’t see him that way, but he has a cold side too. Eunho pouted and looked at the cat. The small kitten was lying curled up in a circle under the window where the sun was shining.664f05783c56edc0

The reddish glow of the sunset was cast over the white and light yellow stripes, making the fur shine golden. Walnut, Butter, Nurungji… All that came to mind were yellow foods. Eunho sighed, shaking his head at his naming skills.e04b497637051e55

The cat, which e59e49f02c had been hiding 87cca5c33d and watching, slowly a30086c02e crept out and 9a4f072dd6 lay down in aee1054e0b front of Yihyeon.

“My older sister was having a hard time after the cat she was raising died. She’s a freelancer and is home all day, so our house would be better for it to live in.”Eunho’s eyes widened at the sudden story, then he smiled slightly, thinking it was a good thing.

Even without thinking about it multiple times, it was clearly a good thing. No, rather, it was a situation where he should be grateful to Yihyeon.
