Chapter 3,
Cat Yoon Jeong-han, Cat Hong Ji-soo, Cat Jeon Won-woo, Cat Lee Ji-hoon
It was past 12 o'clock and around 3 o'clock, me, a fox, and two golden retrievers, who had no job, were sitting on the sofa blankly staring blankly at each other.
When Hansol said he was so bored he was dying, and suggested they go for a walk, Soonyoung pretended not to hear and went into my bed, and Seungcheol, too, was leaning against the sofa and pretending to be asleep. When Seungcheol and Soonyoung showed signs of rejection, Hansol, who had not yet shown any reaction, suggested that we go to the park in front of the house together. He took a leash out of a drawer and put it in his mouth, wagging his tail. Hansol wanted to go out so badly that I went to the park, despite the annoyance.
***
"Sola... I'm tired, unnie... Do you want to just run around by yourself?? "
"Krrrrung"
"Okay, okay. Where do you want to go?"
As I was being dragged around the park by Hansol for the fourth time, five little kids were harassing some precious cats that looked like they would be raised at home.
To be exact, two cats, an Abyssinian cat and a Siamese cat, were lying on the ground after being attacked by little children, and somewhere, two other cats were standing guard, their fur standing on end, as if they were trying to protect the other cats.
With no adults around to intervene, the little kids continued to harass the four cats. While I'm half-human, half-animal, I'm still an animal owner, so I was infuriated by this behavior. I told Hansol to stay still before approaching the little ones.
"Babies."
'Who are you? Do you know us?'
"It's no use to torment a cat like this."
'It's not even yours, so just don't worry about it.'
"How old are you guys?"
'I'm 12 years old.'
"If you're 12, aren't you in 5th grade of elementary school?"
'Is that right? Why?'
"You must not harass animals."
"I'll speak nicely, so listen up. Stop it and go home."
'Huh, what does it have to do with you?'
"Where are your parents? Do you want to go to the police station with your sister?"
When I asked if they wanted to go to the police station, the little kids backed away and ran away, as if they were afraid of me.
After making sure there were no people around, Hansol untied his leash in human form and approached me. He handed me his leash, then cradled the two cats lying on the ground in his arms and looked at me with a questioning expression.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You should hug them too. It looks like you got hurt when you attacked them earlier."
At Hansol's words, I looked at the two cats and saw that they really were wounded. Hansol picked up the two cats and headed off somewhere, so I followed him without saying a word, taking the two cats with me.
***
Hansol arrived at the animal hospital. Only now, realizing what he was thinking, did I take the lead and go in first.
The director of the animal hospital told me to let the cats rest for a few days and to apply ointment regularly. I left with the ointment the doctor had given me in hand, and had no choice but to take the four stray cats back to my house.
***
When Hansol and I came home after a few hours, Seungcheol and Soonyoung, who were sitting on the sofa, were just staring at the TV, which was on a black screen, with expressions full of discontent.
I thought I should first deal with these cats and then relieve the anger in that line. While I was unpacking, a cat appeared.'Meow~'And cried. Seungcheol and Soonyoung came over to us at the sound of a cat crying. Soonyoung frowned and said.
"What are these guys doing?"
"Injured cats."
"Baek A-young saved them. She was so cool."
"Was this older sister that cool, Hansol?"
" ... Sorry, I misspoke."
"But these guys are also half-human and half-beast."
"That's right. Ayoung, these guys are half-human, half-beast, aren't they?"
"What? Lies!"
As if to prove that Seungcheol and Sunyoung were right, the four cats that jumped out of Hansol and I's arms simultaneously transformed into human forms.
"What, these guys are half-human, half-beast?"
"I thought I was the only half-human, half-beast."
"I'm embarrassed…"
" … "
The cats I saved were Yoon Jeong-han, Hong Ji-soo, Jeon Won-woo, and Lee Ji-hoon, and this was my first encounter with these troublemaking cats and dogs.
