Mandu is our cat
If you live with a half-human, half-beast...



?
I'm a dumpling


김여주
Hey... that's something that would only come out of some ridiculous novel.


?
I really don't believe this guy... Is he stupid or what?

When I didn't believe him, the mysterious man who claimed to be a dumpling disappeared from my sight, and in his place was a dumpling.


김여주
Huh, huh? Dumplings? They're dumplings, right?

And when I confirmed that I had seen the sight, the dumpling was gone again and the man was standing there.


?
Do you believe it now?


김여주
Wow, I'm not in a novel right now? This is so cool!


김여주
So you're really a dumpling? So this is what happens when a dumpling turns into a human. Dumplings are cute even when they're human.


?
Don't keep making me feel bad by saying dumplings


김여주
Your name is Mandu, so what?


?
I have a name, too. Not that tacky name you gave me. I have my own name.


김여주
Name? What is it?


민석
Kim Min-seok.


김여주
Oh, then what should I call you? Should I say no to dumplings and call you Minseok?


민석
No. I'm older than you. Call me oppa and stop speaking informally.


김여주
How old are you?


민석
Um, in human years, I'm 24. I'm older than you, right? So, please don't speak informally to me from now on.


김여주
What the... There's a 5 year age difference... Do we have to keep living together?


민석
Yeah, thanks to whom


김여주
Why? Why are you looking at me like it's because of me!!


민석
It's because you kissed me two days ago. It's annoying that a kid like you is the boss, and I can't even leave this house.

To Mandu, no, really, should I call him oppa? Anyway, after listening to the story, it seems that when a half-human, half-beast is an animal, if a person kisses him, that person becomes the owner of the half-human, half-beast, and when that happens, the animal cannot leave its owner behind.


민석
So let's just stay quiet and be human until your brother comes. Just know that.


김여주
Then I'm not raising a cat, I'm living with people!


민석
...


김여주
Ah!... Yo...


민석
Well, let's say that's the case

I'm not saying that's true, but when he was a real dumpling, he wasn't like that, but after he turned into a human, his personality became strange.


민석
But you,


김여주
What, what

It's awkward to use formal language!!


민석
Aren't you going to school?


김여주
Oh my... I'm screwed. It's too late.

Mandu, who I thought was just a normal, crazy cat, turns out to be a half-human, half-beast named Kim Min-seok and we end up living together for two months.


박수영
Heroine!


김여주
Oh, Suyeong, you're here?


박수영
Yeah! You know... You said you had a cat last time, right? Can you show me?


김여주
Oh... that cat?

After bringing Mandu home, I told Sooyoung about Mandu, but now it's not Mandu, it's Minseok... Yeah, anyway, since that person is here, I can't help but ask him to show me.


김여주
Oh, the owner of that cat showed up and gave it back to me yesterday.


박수영
Oh really? That's too bad, I wanted to see the cat.


김여주
Then do you want to go to a cat cafe with me later?


박수영
Wow, that's awesome. Are you free this weekend?


김여주
Of course, then do you want to meet on Saturday?


박수영
good

Ding dong dang dong ding dong dang dong

As I was trying to make plans with Suyeong for the weekend, the school bell rang and we had to stop talking and go to class.


김여주
I'm back...

It had been over a week since school started, but I was still so tired from the vacation swamp.


민석
Why are you so late?


김여주
Mom! Surprise!


김여주
Oh, I forgot you were here


민석
you?


김여주
Oh, no, I forgot you were here


민석
Okay, let's eat some food


김여주
Huh, really? What did this guy say? Is that something you would say to a high school kid who just came home?


민석
I don't know how to cook


김여주
No, then I have to ask for a favor. What kind of order is that?


민석
Don't get on my nerves...


김여주
Seriously, what kind of king am I? I hate it too. I don't cook.


민석
Oh really...


민석
Ha, rice... some...


김여주
What about rice?


민석
I asked you to make me some food.


김여주
I should have done that a long time ago... Wait, I'll just change my clothes and do it.


민석
Then I'll lie on your bed


김여주
What are you talking about! You even watch me change clothes? Are you a pervert?


민석
There's nothing to see, just change your clothes...

Bam!


김여주
Get out quickly!!

I was so embarrassed by that pervert who insisted on lying on my bed while I changed my clothes that I slapped him and yelled at him to get out.


민석
There's nothing to see, and you're talking like an adult,


김여주
I'm not cooking!

I slammed the door shut, my face flushed with embarrassment, and I shouted loudly that I wasn't going to cook dinner. I didn't come out of my room that evening.
