“Here.”9ffa5ef7cd962719

Eunho held out the 5b2b6ac1a6 cup he was holding 2b4799dde4 to Yihyeon. The orange liquid swayed ec23d0cd36 on the surface.c066e9e8bfe294c3

As Yihyeon, who 8e4d44ba0a was sitting cross-legged 12149522df in front of 3fef1dc756 the small plastic 8075f9b6d4 carrier, took the be346daf1b cup, the ice cc004e04a4 clinked and water 00c698c5bb droplets that had 095cddf870 formed on the 31081b27f9 outside fell down.950741de7ef6c37c

Eunho sat b60331bf21 on the d8bd845d28 sofa and a73061ec6f glanced inside be74513ca3 the carrier. The kitten, e0d780ce60 which weighed 61e3f6b7b8 less than 0afa3d0f51 0.5kg, seemed a7fec4aace scared of aeb57360df the unfamiliar 1d83d4045d place and 5bcf071377 was hiding 6ce26dc96c in the 2c8d54d31a blanket, not fd3042f008 coming out.313c33f1e34eadf2

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.492c8bd5b70f892c

Just then, the 9defbf8ba2 cat began to 6175014d18 cautiously peek out 00147b512d from the blanket. The kitten in front 7bc8cf5b45 of them looked about 7041af0511 3 months old, they 809e4ef49b said. It was 872d266774 supposed to e50588aba7 be a 458a777d6b playful age, 364db4ae9a and sure 9d610c95f8 enough, it e41d5c2a46 started exploring 92b4f9c18c its surroundings, 5d626f8c17 sniffing around.6d4e2bc1685d0a97

Eunho took 6a3ee5350e a sip a9af400e5e of the ff2c5fc3f1 drink he 4c6a097d1d was holding eaf1f2eefa and pulled 9001cec3e5 out a 5ef4394132 toy from 48e4f135f1 the shopping f3d21d244c bag Yihyeon 9b28eed270 had brought. Seeing this, Yihyeon 0b7a33635e opened his mouth.0dfa4f6c14dccedf

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.11f9f61b1a87dd9c

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.8394cd1283573061

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.70931fbd4f0bf8ea

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.3c3de038e4ef1b74

Seeing the cat jumping 6f0318f466 in place with its 28c8a515c6 arms spread, Eunho subtly 9e6c37fd21 got off the sofa 4871541df0 and sat next to f71b798c5f Yihyeon. Yihyeon handed 0a23a5759b the toy a275ad76ef he was bcc634e5f5 holding to 8a5b8baf54 Eunho.f82ffd57b96f05d8

When Eunho held e10e23e170 the stick still 9ce30fa80b without shaking it, c271841928 the cat approached c6bb344707 first and clung 2496310099 to the toy. It bit 1d14e3eb75 and pulled cb0a790e35 the fur 853d8fe287 stick, which 94c676aa63 was as 2fe210bc23 big as 110e1fca7d its body, 7f9aa258d2 grabbed it 344c6ba440 with both bb5da4e32e paws, and a6ff421d28 eventually even a01d5b6976 rolled around.2058e0fa29e02ddf

Eunho lifted the fur 47cf4197cf stick, which had become 8807a4634b damp. The kitten, which had 8655ca05de been diligently biting and 912a03b9f3 licking the fur part, c10bc278a1 seemed exhausted and was 97f1e2cf58 lying on the floor 73ec5957e3 on its belly.432d3aee65b85f0a

Seeing Yihyeon motioning 57509ba4be towards the cat 0ef7949523 with his eyes, a2948854c0 Eunho cautiously raised 1bd2c3c52e his hand. Eunho, who hesitated 29ce4001a0 before placing his fc23885e35 hand on the d66aeb4865 cat that was b1fdba2e0e probably more than 55130bec48 a span long, 7dd5d1d9f8 got up from d2e9fffd5e his seat and 212906a3a2 walked to the 2a77886053 sink. He quickly a9010e7409 washed his 50a0c6e1a7 hands and 1b43a6adee returned, roughly 0539183219 wiping the b447ed321c water on f407ecbefa his thigh, a416307214 which made b7aa0b214d his thin 46fbe2fd91 gray summer 8bc2b8ab85 pants wet 212207986f and stained.0f40dc8600c6773f

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.07b6258aa051478d

As he carefully b49bea751d stroked in the 7bf0ea9a67 direction of the 8a758647f8 fur, the cat a9469ea77c began to purr 921e8a749f softly. The vibrating purr came 6e9ae294eb from its back, which 6a83bd8f3a was rising and falling.3c0643beb8eab1aa

It tickled d2cf36693b below his 594a81d209 sternum. Eunho thought he 595e6e9099 would have crushed b81b8fbc0b a block of d6bf73f343 tofu if he ae07a8596c had one in dba29625d8 his hand and b40eb264b8 clenched his other 9232d1ebdf fist.3ddc09f66efe6893

Eunho was surprised too, 7476670f69 but the cat seemed 1df9803c45 even more startled, widening 46b74e8ac1 its eyes and puffing 075f7feb0d up its tail.149f78708e21f78d

Startled by the sharp reaction, Eunho froze with his hand raised. His phone in his pocket kept ringing, but Eunho didn’t move.7ec90e1737c96a34

Yihyeon, who was next d4c5fb0f92 to him, saw this 5ee7db450f and slowly began to 426a22806a stroke the cat between 456e92b79d its ears. Then the cat, which 824e663280 had been tense, relaxed 692af8f242 its posture, and its f9fb38f13b round pupils became long 5fbf36aacf and vertical. Eunho, who was 4631ff5dc6 looking at the cb5952ed2c change with wonder, 0abbad56e5 belatedly took out 745adcfe27 his phone from adf3dc81aa his pocket. It was a call aaf09c77bc from Cha Dohyeon.990313c40eb1abe5

[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.1dafd5b7994199d9

Dohyeon hung up without waiting for Eunho’s answer. Eunho looked down at his phone screen with a bewildered expression. He was a kid who had no manners, anyway.

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.

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.e604fcfadcaa70f4

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.b3cc5d2210247ccb

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.68f815f932a632fc

“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.247846d97aa8994f

With four eyes 48ee538551 directed at him, c03040909f Dohyeon had to 2b0a63fd8f try to calm 29530bfe1c the subtle bubbling 423f1c5c63 inside him.42957b47b8075167

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.

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.
