“…A cat?”7618f1e4621189f2

That’s why, when he fe08b0ac58 met a cat in 4f2f8a6a68 a place devoid of 384a7a34e0 life, Hae-jin felt an 7e49909bc8 odd kinship. He couldn’t 750e5b04c0 leave it 5602e11b22 behind. Even injured and wary, b948676a48 the cat bristled. Hae-jin didn’t approach, bending 5ab7d6e926 to meet its gaze ee83a0e37f and speaking softly.0a788e8ff08728f0

Somehow, Cha Yoo-heon 87f1a681bb gave off a a9949d0705 similar vibe. Though he 8a17f0f105 likely hadn’t 623f55f9ff been abandoned, 95414a4a35 the young 770753ba30 Esper carried 4ea520cd02 the scent 12b8b16409 of long-standing 95461c41a7 loneliness.d0a7d52a0260612e

Unattended, guarding against the f49ffcffa8 world instead of crying, cb9e877f24 struggling to survive… like ce6506b982 something abandoned, like Hae-jin.26485c91cb65752d

Lying on the sofa, b0920f9478 Hae-jin gazed at the 500e581716 black cat on his 6431a64c9d stomach. He gently stroked 78066ddf7a its head as 52d2479b3f it tapped its 3678c595ac tail in displeasure.169c8f799b96cd65

He’d received confessions 8761804343 from impulsive young e22dd6beba Espers before, but bb040bed36 Cha Yoo-heon was 3bbeefb273 different. Seemingly naive ef50020491 yet formidable, db0c4d4412 his intense 6ec78f2800 gaze wasn’t 88068b4171 meaningless.1d3295c686d815e2

At Hae-jin’s words, a647108fda Tae-young cleared debris 3273f0a3bf with a flick c18d6d3496 of his hand, 91e10f6fff looking exasperated. Hae-jin glanced at be722322d6 Tae-young and spoke 33a135b0f7 softly.4adc5276c89bd8f5
