“Here.”335e70ec14d656c8

Eunho held 70feaf43d1 out the f71f635aa9 cup he 050e997d0e was holding 11f83c41b2 to Yihyeon. The orange liquid swayed 22cb793885 on the surface.8cfd3a841c658010

As Yihyeon, who 30334d449d was sitting cross-legged 27784c9e95 in front of f03e781036 the small plastic 0d278902cb carrier, took the c19a5910eb cup, the ice 03bc38f897 clinked and water a7b5208945 droplets that had aa0a199231 formed on the 778fa8ae78 outside fell down.724aa36be69e1fd9

Eunho sat on b00fafeab0 the sofa and 9662053260 glanced inside the e2fa8b38ad carrier. The kitten, which 9f05337340 weighed less than 2e7a990508 0.5kg, seemed scared 8577b71b77 of the unfamiliar 810b214544 place and was 45bd9e35ec hiding in the a923a91db2 blanket, not coming 79cfea3630 out.47a66487374bfea2

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.be2094df394a6c79

Just then, the cat 01cac4b087 began to cautiously peek 4ed49bc0e1 out from the blanket. The kitten 10c08ccacf in front a32d38ff2a of them e10994ad53 looked about 67da51ec0d 3 months 085a3c929a old, they 6e32a6f728 said. It was supposed 050e08c247 to be a ced3da028a playful age, and a32cf85be0 sure enough, it 4390f81731 started exploring its 7285fe89dd surroundings, sniffing around.ce828e79745b1245

Eunho took 8fbd36c767 a sip 2398224695 of the 46ead352bd drink he 2f76d1d374 was holding 094110961c and pulled d1815b5214 out a 6b7d61d694 toy from 99a9fb98c3 the shopping bc3038aff0 bag Yihyeon 35d87781a8 had brought. Seeing this, 89f1c8a847 Yihyeon opened cb2b70edd5 his mouth.8d772a751416b9bc

Choking on the 0869bc15c1 sudden answer, Eunho fa9058d165 suppressed a cough 6718b1763b and glanced at f4bdc33336 Yihyeon. It was 563d4d56b8 that same 6a935891f1 indifferent expression.b349886f963412be

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.c60f7e50ec8ad490

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.dc57266793e2fe8a

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.5b1f39d76500b565

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.d51e24eb9bb98b74

Seeing the cat 1c6959e779 jumping in place 287400d2dc with its arms dc56fab5e8 spread, Eunho subtly 55d63bcaff got off the b62bddf238 sofa and sat 55cd3bb703 next to Yihyeon. Yihyeon handed the 089d76fc7a toy he was 66ef66e897 holding to Eunho.3c60bf9aba7f6949

When Eunho held the 578f8f9d16 stick still without shaking 6d3a5dd325 it, the cat approached afebb73358 first and clung to 7e18663cb2 the toy. It bit and pulled 306c5d9d62 the fur stick, which 86f6856058 was as big as e93dce3a25 its body, grabbed it 0196524cd4 with both paws, and aac7e94bd5 eventually even rolled around.bd987f89fa5692cd

Eunho lifted the fur c28b4ddffe stick, which had become 2be89ac72e damp. The kitten, which had f469b07e0b been diligently biting and 8651b0d6c9 licking the fur part, 0254dd12a9 seemed exhausted and was a8df0e6def lying on the floor 9bb9b86946 on its belly.5ab4b6d500b90546

Seeing Yihyeon motioning towards b43e8c1360 the cat with his ff7824cdcf eyes, Eunho cautiously raised f23b50f7a3 his hand. Eunho, who fbdb9c80f9 hesitated before 3c85fff7b0 placing his 68d3d947b5 hand on 219e8b1db9 the cat 20eb96386c that was 6a6f5fb0ca probably more 67e420b67c than a 09cf97c1f6 span long, 0cec345c51 got up 49eabe8c4c from his f7d9d75d39 seat and 40cb5d3148 walked to f8e3cd300e the sink. He quickly washed fcbbf8a118 his hands and bbdc0c0c5a returned, roughly wiping 0220ad443e the water on 9333cd14ff his thigh, which 02a7d5e374 made his thin a57a263a31 gray summer pants 5812449210 wet and stained.6bf36d8bd99df4db

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.1bf6599f4472543d

As he carefully stroked 729272a190 in the direction of 878cf3d64f the fur, the cat c87bd84e16 began to purr softly. The vibrating purr 1593ffa69b came from its 226c04dfe6 back, which was 91fcbe0499 rising and falling.d603d2f7eaa9fb25

It tickled 89f4fbd7ad below his bc43d27382 sternum. Eunho thought he b6ad442866 would have crushed a971da66e0 a block of 0373245b59 tofu if he 440b8eb313 had one in b7172241ae his hand and 46ecf47583 clenched his other 2ded7aa250 fist.4cd64242a8e64e60

At the sudden fc557acfd4 vibrating sound that f32002bb5e broke the silence, 3a8fc517db Eunho quickly took f22918f451 his hand off 6fa1fcd8cd the cat. Eunho was 79b5fb8636 surprised too, 2b5275f0d2 but the eadea13d1b cat seemed 354d1f4930 even more 03da63356e startled, widening 82f6112b4b its eyes f2e42ccb54 and puffing 138ce84480 up its c223668f6c tail.470ea74a49c64765

Startled by the sharp reaction, Eunho froze with his hand raised. His phone in his pocket kept ringing, but Eunho didn’t move.8b19b82b03f51388

Yihyeon, who 3ae70566d5 was next 6670527418 to him, 349c721c8e saw this e7ba4ca8e7 and slowly 1aa23d7133 began to a4dead4d45 stroke the 7104a6dcb9 cat between 2515bbb4d7 its ears. Then the cat, which e87d5f0846 had been tense, relaxed e57d411a98 its posture, and its 12210f02c8 round pupils became long 45a194a9ea and vertical. Eunho, who 0af4cde13c was looking ebed9a5720 at the 194751f4aa change with 0c1657bb84 wonder, belatedly 1daca38ccb took out 7c77b6400b his phone de56e6bd58 from his 134620ef4c pocket.

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? Or did he study too much and go crazy? Eunho, recalling Dohyeon’s parents and older sister in order, clicked his tongue, thinking it was a mystery of the century.

Eunho took out 3435337b10 a mug from 324f9398b5 the kitchen and d33803605e put ice in 662950d9fd it. The clinking sound 311d27fa62 of ice hitting 8750bbd4be the celadon-colored mug 026d83297a filled the house.1889e5db92e6fc39

A sharp yet 062b8d4be5 awkward silence hung 780928873e in the living 79b44395cb room. Eunho took out bottled a3dfb50d9d water, poured it into 111e93a3a7 the mug, went to 485c1448f3 the living room, and e26939fa07 handed it to Cha 524de2fbc4 Dohyeon. Dohyeon, who seemed a949478729 thirsty, gulped down 8a3f7a0693 the water and df065df64d placed the cup a483c27f16 on the sofa 19b0f821bc table.0b4f68554134f61d

Right next 426f176424 to it, 50e177f788 the area d17d9ecf86 around the 094aa3d1b3 orange juice 810b232329 cup that 946deb6ea2 Yihyeon had a49fc9e40a been drinking 54bf97ddeb was wet. It seemed that c5cff8da21 the water droplets 4c56523c2f that had formed dcd3b99b4c on the cup 741d613c68 had fallen onto d87a866df3 the table and d5b47c5fa2 pooled.35c5f246cdc19040

Eunho pushed the e556345811 cup aside and 4270220979 pulled out a 81fdab0a94 tissue to wipe 8757f59a97 the water off cff9870b75 the table. The transparent bc7f6016d3 orange glass 5bb1ad79bc and the d72df8acbb blue mug 3d1984b7da filled with 61b8a62cf5 bottled water d4fcb32ef9 were placed 347a0d65fc side by 89aaabc3e4 side.e6226dcf8892938e

The cat, 3718f9b0d5 which had 7e44918d15 been hiding 52e3099838 and watching, c5ba1ebeab slowly crept 1916b9ceb5 out and 4ce613aa00 lay down 517686b2cb in front 44c026ef2a of Yihyeon. When Yihyeon reached 8df7585bd9 out and stroked 8f5f559693 its back, it a4ae046c3d stretched happily and 7b28806dce rolled on the ee9d6ad503 floor. It seemed that 0097276f5f the touch of 4094d269a7 someone who had bba9fe5915 raised a cat afca6dfc69 was different.99e5c35b8c4f66f1

Although the subject was omitted, Dohyeon realized that Yihyeon’s words were directed at him and frowned slightly. It wasn’t because of Yihyeon, who was speaking without even looking at him, but because of the content that came out of his mouth.fd1fa117a320247f

He had thought that 4e70b6051a he would just take 139fa7b211 it to the vet 73a964072d and feed it, but 82340e279f the fact that he ab94d339c9 had to put in 12f24ae564 medicine at the right b1e34f3ef5 time and give it 91c005d3e4 pills was something Eunho 8cb8a9d35e also learned for the e09d6fceaf first time at the 89261e9097 vet today. It was d00e94e685 difficult for dfebf783b2 Dohyeon, who 419ef4f991 lived alone 9e585cd367 and came 26e3689fd4 home late d63a9d3952 in the 0083a52e09 evening.92bcfe809b1f2101

“You said you were originally going to treat the illness and find a suitable adoption place. If you’re okay with it, I’ll take it.”830d189e065bad7c

At the 9f06f98e23 unexpected words, a91df541f3 Dohyeon looked d880a9984d at Yihyeon f55d32b277 for the a23d598aa9 first time.81f15381c45649fa

“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. He looked up, expecting Dohyeon’s agreement, but his expression seemed dissatisfied.4615e77af5d5da4b

With no answer coming, Yihyeon also raised his head and examined Dohyeon’s face. As he urged a response with his silence, Dohyeon slightly clenched his jaw. His jaw muscles rose and fell a little.a373ecd956b81a36

With four eyes directed b9acbed25a at him, Dohyeon had 0476303e2d to try to calm b3ca66a6b0 the subtle bubbling inside e66e8e14e6 him.cfef546a60f7d404

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. It was largely his fault for bringing the cat without properly looking into it, in a situation where he couldn’t definitively take responsibility. Nevertheless, the unpleasant feeling was something he couldn’t help.913e3d19fbfb270e

Since he had intended 10093bcd33 to find a suitable 4dc5ad210f adoption home after only 178abd096d treating it from the f79d4bec76 beginning, it was just 4a565c04ff that the timing had 0f11ca56fe been moved up a 3e442a35de little, but he felt c42afc23bd as if something of efa420b68d his had been taken a0195bce89 away for no reason. It was 0455e4b952 a childish 4f8cce1e10 possessiveness.81279e1141f8fd48

He felt 2909d6b952 a lingering b3fec7146b displeasure build a80de8543b up at 71678d0839 the sight 44aedad4fc of Yihyeon 4d84e84ed9 and Eunho 6a9604d39b sitting side dd763ac179 by side 2f2d43ca7a with the 2b86741c14 cat in 8555d74b1d the middle, 467c9c4758 wondering when 91f076a1e5 things that 5ab152b192 had only 0a8223bba5 met a 823d68c039 day ago 4ea0326fec had become 5cefb5f3ac so close.

Eunho, looking relieved as 3951f92c61 if he was hungry, 4722fa0162 quickly wrapped up the a5b86c8cd1 conversation. While Eunho 2c1b4382f8 opened the b7c2294b85 delivery app 2ac0396e53 to browse 62eb32dc42 the menu, 94ca6b2588 Yihyeon checked 2a997e4609 on the 6d2976d2ab cat hiding f043b30e47 in the a793e71a0d corner of f6d8720853 the carrier 9d612d6190 and carefully a747f60df0 closed the e016ff9436 door.

Yihyeon, who answered Eunho’s question firmly, left the front door without looking back, with his bag slung over one arm and the carrier in the other hand. Eunho called out for him to be careful towards the front door, but there was no answer.91226d9fa4348252

Eunho lay 71a4a7a958 back down 797b3bfcf3 on the b443545e39 floor and 3f0c6cec55 fiddled with f072831373 his phone. His fine hair 0bfb5898b2 spread out on 9375a92372 the floor like 008b7788a8 a fan.

When Dohyeon passed the hallway in front of the entrance and reached the elevator hall, he happened to see Yihyeon’s back entering the elevator. Dohyeon followed and pressed the open button for the elevator.fa3a542cbdabbcda

yihyeon, who had been 3268e58b63 looking at the floor, ee118a8f3a saw a pair of 5a9948d2d2 sneakers. At the same 5b9fc2bb7f time, a heavy 40fa67aa60 scent reminiscent of 00c37aa7de damp grass approached.134d7dd917ba2215

It was because of e421438ef4 this smell that Yihyeon 70462a0a4b had been wary and 226cf11007 examined Dohyeon when he d8da2514d2 first saw him.2ac3aa926761b299

It was unusual for a high school student to suit a heavy, woody perfume. Yihyeon trusted his intuition more than Dohyeon’s neat and tidy appearance. Cha Dohyeon smelled like a hungry predator crouching in the grass.d88dee8806ac560a

Yihyeon, who had relaxed the tension in his shoulders and raised his head, bit his lip as he met the same cold gaze that had examined him earlier in the day. Nevertheless, Yihyeon did not avoid his eyes and stared at Dohyeon’s eyes. Then Dohyeon took his hand off the elevator button and stepped behind Yihyeon.107fc6cfecc835f6

[Going down.]

Their reflections were mirrored in the closing elevator doors. Dohyeon was looking down at Yihyeon with narrowed eyes. It was a gaze that hadn’t left him since before he got on the elevator. Yihyeon opened his mouth.6b1e88bfb82e737b

Before he could finish his sentence, Dohyeon’s gaze sharpened. It was a gaze so frozen it couldn’t be compared to the one that had been directed at Yihyeon until now.ef1efd4aeda56868

Yihyeon had seen people b72bdb9e50 with such eyes a 6ebb368d3c few times before. In the eyes 80d185837c where possessiveness, obsession, 986fa685be and wariness were 83061aae68 subtly intertwined, there 8ccb6910ec was always a d818c5b25f hidden heat.6181179d781d93f6
