Mandu is our cat
Are dumplings half-human and half-beast in our house?



김여주
I did bring it, but...


김여주
What should I do... My brother hates cats

My parents are currently abroad because of work, and I live in Korea with my older brother, Kim Jun-myeon. He is 26 years old, 7 years younger than me, and he works at an ordinary company.


오빠
I'm here, pig

Wow, I'm screwed. I have to hide it in my room for now.


김여주
Oh, oppa, you're here?


오빠
Yes, I came and had some food


김여주
I haven't eaten yet


오빠
Why didn't you eat? Wait, I'll prepare it soon.


김여주
Uh... Uh, I'm going into my room. Call me when you're done!


김여주
Ugh... What should I do if I get caught with this? I'll die.


Meow meow...


김여주
Oh my, the cat woke up, but...


김여주
You're so cute! Wow, you look like a dumpling!


김여주
Dumplings? You want to call yourself dumplings? What do you think? Good, I like it!


Meow meow


김여주
Wow you're really cute... how can you be so cute (tss tss)

Suddenly


오빠
Kim Yeo-ju, come out and eat...


오빠
...


김여주
Oh oh... Oppa, what's going on here is, so don't be angry and listen carefully...



오빠
... So, what is going on, our heroine?

I tried very hard to explain so that the cat wouldn't be taken away. But my brother's smiling face was scary.


김여주
That's... That's why it happened... You're so pitiful...! Honestly, you're also cute...


오빠
Anyway, really... oh well, it turned out well

But my brother suddenly relaxed his expression and spoke to me affectionately as usual.


김여주
Why? What? Why did it work out? You hate cats, oppa.


오빠
My brother will be going on a business trip next week to stay with mom and dad for about two months.


김여주
Wow, really?


오빠
Then is it real or fake?


오빠
It's already lonely since there are only two people in the house, and I thought you'd be depressed if I wasn't there too, so... I was going to buy you an animal before I left.


김여주
Wow, for the first time in my life, I'm so touched by my brother.


오빠
Oh my... I'm touched and all. Take good care of your cat. I'll give you money tomorrow, so go buy some cat supplies.


김여주
Wow, I really love you, oppa


오빠
What is love, so you named it?


김여주
Oh, his name is Mandu, Mandu.


오빠
why?


김여주
It's cute because it looks like a dumpling


Meow

- My brother is on a business trip


오빠
Go to school, be careful, take care of your dumplings, be careful with the car, be careful with the road, be careful with men.


김여주
Hey, what do you think I am? I'm a senior in high school. Be careful, oppa.


오빠
When I tell you to be careful, you're still young, so be careful before something big happens.


김여주
Okay, I got it


오빠
Yeah, oppa, I'm really going

Honestly, my brother and I have a bit of an age gap, and we've spent a lot of time alone without our parents, so I think we fought less than other siblings. But even so, we weren't very affectionate, and this time, I wanted to say something to him.


김여주
Ah...! Oppa!


김여주
I love you, you have to go soon



오빠
Yeah, you too, oppa


김여주
Ugh, I have to give you some dumplings and rice and get ready for school too.


김여주
Dumplings~


김여주
Dumplings? Where did the dumplings go?

??
Who keeps calling me that?

Huh? Huh? Whose voice was that just now... Did I hear it wrong?

??
Don't give it such a tacky name without the owner's permission.

I didn't hear it wrong. What the heck? What the heck is that scary thing...!

After seeing my brother off and entering the room, I looked for the dumplings. They were gone, and I heard a voice outside the open door. I was scared, but I felt compelled to look, so I turned around.


?
What are you looking at?

There was a mysterious man.


김여주
Who... who are you! How did you get into my house? Get out! I'm reporting you!


?
I've been through so much, I'm so tired... That's not why I came here.

The mysterious man sat calmly on the living room sofa, muttering something to himself without paying attention to what I said.


김여주
Get out! I'm calling the police right now!


?
Seriously, you brought me here and now you're telling me to go back out... I want to go out too, but I can't because of you.


김여주
what...


김여주
Oh, by the way, did you take our dumplings away?


?
What the heck, how much do I have to say for you to understand?


?
I'm the cat you used to call by such a tacky name.


김여주
...?


?
Wow, I told you everything and you still don't know? Don't you know that I'm half-human and half-beast? I'm a dumpling.
