"Ugh, I’m so hungry but there’s nothing to eat at home..."
"It's too much effort to go outside..."
"Whatever, I’ll just go."
Feeling hungry in the morning, I opened the fridge only to confirm what I already knew — it was completely empty. This is why living alone is tough. I debated whether to go out or not, but figured it was better than staying hungry, so I threw on a jacket and headed for the door.
"Wow... it’s freezing… this is insane!"
Squeak…
"...?"
Squeak… whimper...
"What in the world… What is this adorable little creature...?"
"Was it abandoned in this cold weather...? I have to take it with me!"
As soon as I opened the door, the icy wind smacked my face. It was so cold. Bundled up, I headed to the convenience store, but then I heard a whining sound from an alleyway. Curious, I turned and saw the cutest little thing lying there. It looked like it had been abandoned in this freezing weather. I took off my jacket and gently covered it, completely forgetting the convenience store, and headed back home instead.
"Hi there, cutie...?"
"..."
"Gosh... my heart can’t take this..."
"..."
"Ack, you must be so cold! Hold on, I’ll bring a blanket!"
After carefully placing the tiny thing on the couch, I watched as it slowly opened its eyes and looked at me. So cute. I couldn’t stop staring. Its tiny body was trembling, so I rushed to my room to grab a blanket and—
"KYAAAH!!!"
"...!!"
"Who… who are you?!"
"Whoa… hey there, master!"
Master?! What is he talking about…?
