"Master! What's your master's name?"
"Kim Yeo-joo..."
"Wow, what a cute name!"
"Th-Thanks..."
"I'm Jeongin! Yang Jeongin! I'm a Fennec!"
"Fennec...?"
"Yup!! Don't you know what a fennec fox is??"
Eh, why is this big-bodied guy sitting on my sofa...?
The little kid I brought with me earlier had disappeared and instead there was a guy, so I froze up.
Seeing me like that, the man tilted his head, smiled, and asked me my name.
I don't know why, but I ended up telling my name to someone who called me "master"...
The moment she heard my name, she smiled innocently and said, "That's cute"...
What is that, so cute...
I thanked him and he introduced himself.
My name is Yang Jeong-in.
Fennec fox...
Fennec fox...are you talking about the little one from earlier?
I couldn't believe it, so I asked again, and he nodded vigorously and said, "You don't know?"
"I know... I know... but... is it okay for Fennec to be here?"
"Jeongin is half human, half beast, so it'll be fine!"
"Oh, I see."
"Master, you're an idiot."
There is no one who doesn't know about Fennec...
Do you really think I'm that ignorant?
I was just asking, "Is it okay for Fennec to be here?"
"It's half human, half beast, so there's no problem," he said, and I nodded in agreement.
This smiling fox...calls me stupid...
"So... how old are you?"
"21 years old in human years! 3 years old in animal years!"
"21 years old?!"
"Yeah! Why?"
"You're older than me...?"
He looked very young, so I asked him how old he was, and he told me he was 21 in human years, or 3 in animal years.
Hold on a second... 21 means you're older than me...!!
He looked at me frozen in shock and said "Huh?"
I was stunned and said, "So it's your older brother..."
"What? I'm your older brother?!"
"I, it seems so..."
"So, can you call me 'Oppa'?"
Huh, what?
He seemed surprised by what I said and said, "Call me Oppa."
I froze again.
「...」
"Don't you like it?"
「...」
「...」
"Ha...!"
I couldn't say anything.
Of course, someone who looks so young is actually older than me...
If you ask me "Do you not like it?" I won't be able to answer since I'm silent.
Then, the person moved his face closer to me.
If I get just a little closer, I might even be able to touch it...
And then, with that face, he said...
"I want to hear Yeoju call me 'Oppa'"
...I was shocked. Seriously.
