Santoto and Forest Toto.

And even Isabella.

As if there was a signal at the same time, all three rushed to the bathroom together.

In the meantime, I looked for a male employee and asked him about it.

Are you properly checking the health of your cats?

So the answer came back that they were being tested periodically.

It seems that there are no cats in poor health.

After asking that question.

I also asked if there were any cats allergic to people.

It’s not like I have hives on my body.

You like people, but do you have a constitution that causes nosebleeds when you come in contact with people?

“Do you have a special constitution that causes nosebleeds when you come in contact with people? There are no cats like that in our cafe.”

“It’s strange…”

It was questionable.

Then why did that cat earlier have a nosebleed?

I can’t bring him and show him.

Because the cat suddenly got out of my arms and ran away.

So, I tried to explain in detail what the cat that had a nosebleed looked like.

The male employee listened to what he looked like.

He told me that there were three similar cats, walked around the cafe with me, and pointed out each cat one by one.

“Is this a cat?”

“No. Not this one.”

“Then is it this cat?”

“No. It looks much cuter.”

“Then this cat…”

I shook my head.

The cats that employee Nam showed were not all.

Even when I explained that it was the prettiest and cutest cat in this cafe, the staff only responded that they were all equally cute.

It would be rare to find a cat as cute as that guy.

anyway.

Since I couldn’t put the staff through any more trouble, I decided to end the search for the cat at this point.

What if the cat has some kind of illness?

I’m sure the staff will notice and treat me well later.

“Ah. Is it okay if I ask you one last question?”

Before returning to my seat.

I asked the male employee one last question.

“Are cats allowed to go out freely in this cafe?”

“Yes? No, we don’t let them go out except when we take them to the animal hospital. Even if you order, the staff tends to go out with you, and there are no cats in our cafe that like walks in the first place. As you know, most cats only want to stay in their own territory and don’t like to be walked, right?”

Some cats like to walk.

I’ve seen quite a few guys who like to get out of the house and move around.

However, all of these cafe cats seemed to be homebodies.

‘Then what on earth was that cat…?’

It’s not like I saw something in vain.

It was truly a strange thing.

If I see you again today, I will catch you so that I can’t run away and take you to the staff.

I decided that if I couldn’t meet today and ran into each other later in the alley, I would at least take a picture and come back to the cafe to ask. I returned to my seat and petted the other cats.

***

When Kang Ha-hwi was asking various questions to a male employee.

Women’s restroom in the cafe.

Seo Yi-eung was horrified when her club members discovered her indecent behavior.

“Uh, this is… So…”

My mind is a mess.

The words didn’t come out properly.

My brain raced and I thought over and over again about what excuse I should make.

When Seo Yi-eung was thinking of countless excuses.

“Don’t make excuses. no use. Carrot.”

“Even if you make excuses, it doesn’t work. I know your psychology very well, because we do the same thing. Lotus root.”

Santoto and Forest Toto said with disgusted expressions.

Isabella also thought about saying something, but she felt strange about Forest Toto’s remarks and tilted her head.

Isabella blinked and looked at Forest Toto.

“···Professor and instructor do the same thing?”

“That’s right. In fact, our human form is close to our true appearance. Lotus root.”

“Carrot! Why are you saying that! Crazy Forest Toto!”

“Wow. You two weren’t in a position to say anything to him…”

“I have the right to say something. This is so-called homophobia. Lotus root.”

“Isabella! If you reveal this fact to Kang Ha-hwi, he will scold you with carrots!”

Isabella is one step away from the rabbits.

She looked back and forth between Seo Yi-eung and the rabbits, making an expression as if she were looking at sewage.

Santoto and Forest Toto spoke to Seo Yi-eung.

“Anyway, we are no different from you, so we will keep this matter a secret. Lotus root.”

“I will keep it a secret. Carrot.”

“, thank you…”

Without making any excuses.

Seo Yi-eung breathed a sigh of relief at the fact that he had passed the critical point.

But there was still one problematic person left.

“I have no intention of keeping it a secret.”

Isabella had no intention of getting over this.

“Carrot?”

“Lotus root?!”

“Professor and instructor, we will keep the fact that your true form is human, but we will reveal the fact that you transformed into a cat and flirted with Kang Ha-hwi.”

“Don’t say it… Please…”

Seo Yi-eung earnestly asks.

Isabella smiled evilly at Seo Yi-eung’s unusual appearance.

“Hmm. My heart is weakening because you ask me so desperately.”

“Please do me a favor…”

“Mmm. Then, first of all, I will listen to the reason why you did such a dirty thing and then decide. Let’s talk about it somewhere. If you lie, I’ll run straight to Kang Ha-hwi, so tell me honestly.”

“That’s…”

Seo Yi-eung hesitated and pursed his lips.

Then he slowly opened his mouth and spoke.

“Because I like it…”

“······.”

It doesn’t suit me.

Who do you like?

At that moment, such a thought passed through Isabella’s mind.

Of course, I didn’t say it out loud.

Words spoken indifferently without a filter may hurt the other person.

“If you like it, you should approach it in a fair way. Don’t you think it’s too ugly to approach them by turning into an animal? There has to be a degree of shady humidity.”

“I couldn’t help it… Because Ha-hwi hates women…”

It’s not that I hate all women.

Don’t you hate women who aren’t on your level?

Isabella suppressed her inner feelings once again.

It felt like if I assaulted him with facts, he would burst into tears at any moment.

‘Seo Yi-eung had a surprisingly cute side. Although it is dark and damp.’

Isabella pretends to be worried.

I stroked my chin with my hand and muttered to myself.

“Ah. What do we do? Should I keep it a secret? I’m worried whether I should do it or not.”

Actually, I just had no intention of letting go.

From the beginning, I had no intention of telling Kang Ha-hwi about this.

It is right that Seo Yi-eung is deceiving Kang Ha-hwi, and it is something that a person should not do, but…

Even so.

Because I didn’t think I would feel comfortable if the relationship between Seo Yi-eung and Kang Ha-hwi broke down because of me.

Isabella just caught one thing, so she planned to take advantage of Seo Yi-eung’s weakness to her own benefit.

“Keep it a secret…”

Seo Yi-eung is shaking his feet restlessly.

When Isabella saw that, one corner of her mouth curled up.

“Good. Instead, there is a condition.”

“Conditions···?”

“You, stick with me from now on.”

“···Stick around with you? Why?”

“There’s no particular reason, it’s just that I don’t have a best friend yet. I don’t like going alone, so I force myself to hang out with people I’m not particularly close to, but once I have one close friend, there’s no need to do that.”

“······.”

“I don’t like it? If you don’t like it, don’t. Stop telling Kang Ha-hwi now…”

“Boo, I’ll stick around!”

Isabella smiled with satisfaction at Seo Yi-eung’s answer.

In this way.

Rather than being best friends, a relationship closer to a relationship of superiors was born.

“Carrot···. Looks like I needed an obedient slave.”

“I lived because I was an instructor. Lotus root.”

***

The members who had gone to the bathroom returned.

But somehow the atmosphere changed a little.

Should I say that the relationship between Seo Yi-eung and Isabella seems to have become closer?

Until just a moment ago.

Seo Yi-eung did not give Isabella a glance.

Even when I sat down, I intentionally sat far apart.

Not now.

The two sat closely next to each other,

“By the way, Seo Yi-eung, where do you live?”

“Huh? Ah, around here…”

“Don’t just say it’s around here, tell me your exact home address.”

“Why is the exact home address…?”

“We plan to go to school together from now on. I don’t like going to school alone. Because I’m lonely and lonely. I also secretly worry about what other people think.”

“···I will send you my home address via text message later.”

“Okay. Then, when you go to school from now on, I will go to your house and wait for you. Thank you?”

“Oh, thank you… Thank you so much for not telling me to wait in front of your house…”

Unlike before, we were chatting a lot.

Isabella is talking one-sidedly, and Seo Yi-eung feels a little uncomfortable, but if it were Seo Yi-eung as usual, he would have given a short answer or completely ignored her…

‘Did you two become friends in the bathroom?’

In that short period of time.

I had no idea what had happened.

The world of women seemed like a profound world that was truly difficult to understand.
