Top (Gong): Cha Jin-geon (21 years old)

A second-year Business Administration student. A stunning beauty with fair skin and cyan-blue eyes reminiscent of the night sky. He’s kind and gentle to everyone, but for some reason, he doesn’t easily let people get close. There’s an invisible, thick wall surrounding him, something he’s calmly built up over a long time. Recently, however, that wall has started to waver because of a certain cat. Tap, tap, tap, tap. For some reason, those little kicks don’t feel so bad.

Bottom (Shou): Ko Yang-hwi (21 years old)

A second-year Korean Literature student. With tanned skin and sharp eyes, his round eyebrows hidden beneath his bangs are his charm point. He usually speaks in a prickly tone, but it’s not so easy to keep that up around Jin-geon. And it’s all because he’s “Ko Yang-hwi” (a cat-like figure), and Jin-geon is “human catnip.” Whenever he sees Jin-geon, he can’t help but want to purr—it’s a real problem. It’s a threat to his dignity as a human… no, as a cat.
