By Zephyria After all classes were over, Yumin rejected Hyeon-seok’s suggestion to eat together and returned to the dormitory. He had no time to leisurely eat and play.
He opened his jet-black laptop and typed on the black keyboard. On the laptop’s desktop, there was a folder named ‘Oriental Turtle Dove’, and inside it, another folder named ‘Crow’ existed.
[Strategy] Beom Tae-jun_Revision_Final_Still_Revising.txt
A file Yumin had meticulously hidden. It was an observation log about Tae-jun. Whenever he collected information related to Tae-jun, or when he thought of a good date item, he would briefly jot it down here. Or he would clip dating tips he saw on blogs.
The blog content was generally shoddy. It introduced how to flirt as a sophisticated joke skill, and even stated that if you wanted to learn more details, you had to make a deposit.
Since the file was filled with low-quality tips and Yumin’s nonsense, no answer could be found no matter how much he looked.
Yumin sighed and typed on the keyboard, tap-tap.
I should have checked if Beom Tae-jun had a girlfriend. I should have found that out the first time I met him… I need to address it now.│
“But how do I find out…? Should I meet him and ask him directly? ‘Do you have a girlfriend?’”
That seemed too abrupt.
‘You walked past a pretty art student with long hair earlier. Are you dating her? Are you in a relationship with her even though you’re a non-believer?’
Asking like that… even for the reckless Yumin, it seemed a bit sleazy.
“Hmm… I need to find out indirectly. What are some ways to find out without asking directly?”
Yumin closed the file and rested his elbows on the desk, propping his chin. Then his eyes met his own photo on the desktop. In the photo, Yumin was a teenage wildcat. The rebellious middle schooler Yumin glared, his tail repeatedly slapping the ground.
“This is it! This is possible.”
Yumin marveled at his own genius.
Yumin checked if it was dark enough outside. Then, he stealthily left the dormitory. The wildcat’s plump paws muffled his footsteps, and his dark fur disguised his presence.
Wildcat Yumin navigated the darkness quickly with his excellent eyesight. His target destination was the intersection past the main gate, leading into Tae-jun’s neighborhood. There was a narrow alley there that anyone crossing the crosswalk would inevitably see.
Upon reaching the alley, Yumin looked around. The streetlights were fine, and his vision was clear. If he cried pitifully at the timing Tae-jun passed by, he would surely be discovered.
The only problem was that he didn’t know when Tae-jun would finish class and pass by here….
I should have gotten his schedule beforehand if I knew this would happen…. Yumin felt regret. But all he could do now was wait indefinitely.
He didn’t know how long he would have to wait, but Yumin decided to hold his ground in this alley.
Then, he saw a dark shadow lingering at the entrance of the alley. It was a stray cat with white socks as a point on its black fur.
‘Don’t come here! Get lost.’
Yumin puffed up his tail and glared. The cat seemed to think, ‘What the hell is this little guy doing?’ and glared back before leaving.
Phew. I dealt with it well. If a stray cat like that blocked my path, Tae-jun’s attention would be divided. If, by any chance, he took a liking to a random cat and took it home, this project would fail.
Yumin continued to watch beyond the crosswalk, wary of any other cats appearing. However, an hour, then two hours passed, and Tae-jun did not show up.
“Haaam….”
He was getting bored and restless. He had caught a cold since morning, was shocked by Tae-jun’s dating rumors during the day, and had gone out at night without eating or resting. It was natural to be sleepy and tired.
Yumin’s head, large for his body, was hard to keep steady. His eyes slowly closed.
It was then. He saw a tall man crossing the street in the distance. A human chandelier, a human silver candlestick. He shone from head to toe, so Yumin was sure it was Tae-jun.
Yumin quickly curled himself into a bread-loaf shape. He waited for Tae-jun to completely cross the crosswalk and pass the alley entrance. Then, as soon as the tips of his sneakers came into view, he opened his mouth wide.
“Meeeow-.”
Yumin let out a frail, weak cat sound. As expected, Tae-jun stopped.
“Oh, little meow. We meet again?”
Yumin made nyaaang, nyaang sounds and rubbed himself vigorously against Tae-jun’s pant legs. He held his tail high, swaying it gently, and looked up at Tae-jun with sparkling eyes.
Grrr… Imitating a cat acting cute is humiliating. But there’s no other way. I have to get adopted again.
“Nyaang!”
“You look like you were waiting for me.”
“Meow!”
“That’s great. Let’s go home.”
Tae-jun scooped Yumin up and held him close. Yumin’s throat rumbled with a purr. Tae-jun held Yumin’s body securely and started walking.
‘Hahahat. The plan is a success!’
Yumin smiled wickedly inside, making a prim cat’s mouth.
Tae-jun’s house was not much different from last time. He had been too flustered then to look properly. But today, he had to carefully observe if there were any signs of a woman, if any long strands of hair were lying around.
Tae-jun wiped Yumin’s paws with a warm wet cloth. Then, he carefully placed him on the living room rug and went to the entrance to rummage through a delivery box.
“Let’s eat first.”
“Nyaa-.”
“I just got a nice food bowl, so this is perfect.”
He took out a cat-face-shaped food bowl from the box. Judging by the text on the delivery box, it seemed to be an item sent by an animal welfare organization.
“How is it? Is it okay? The delivery also included cat food cans. They gave it to us because we donated a lot.”
Oh, he must really love animals. His character is truly excellent.
Yumin ate the food Tae-jun prepared, satisfying his hunger.
“I’ll be back after I wash up, so wait for me.”
Tae-jun suddenly took off his clothes. As he crossed his arms and threw off his t-shirt, Yumin swallowed hard. He looked like he had a superior physique, so Yumin was curious about his naked body. Yumin naturally meowed and walked around Tae-jun’s feet. And when he casually lifted his head, he almost hissed and puffed up his fur.
‘Gasp. It’s a club!’
Tae-jun had a penis that was not just heavy but massive, hanging between his legs. It was no less in length than Yumin’s 29cm, and its thickness was like a magic club that could pound anything. Its color was dark red, with prominent veins, giving it a wild feel.
‘A magnificent cock. 30 stars awarded. (★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★)’
Yumin admired it purely. To have such a large cock, it felt like a miracle of nature.
‘But I’ll have to carry and give birth to my child, so I won’t need to use it… What a shame.’
Yumin involuntarily opened his mouth and panted like a frog. His pupils narrowed vertically as he focused. His gaze followed the uncontrollable sway of Tae-jun’s body with every slight movement. Tae-jun frowned, looking troubled by it.
“Oh, little meow. This isn’t a toy.”
“Nyaang?”
“You seem to like long, swaying things, but this is not allowed. Don’t stare at it like that.”
“Ah… Nya, nya-nyang.”
Tae-jun seemed to have misunderstood Yumin’s interest in his genitals. Yumin blinked innocently like a baby cat and licked his lips.
“Then I’ll go wash up. You have to be good, okay?”
“Meow.”
Tae-jun, showing off his imposing rear, entered the bathroom. Yumin confirmed the bathroom door closed and the sound of water could be heard before immediately dashing off. His goal was to raid Tae-jun’s private life.
Yumin decided to search the master bedroom first. If he had a girlfriend, there would surely be traces in the room. Couple items, couple rings, hair ties, women’s clothes, etc. And most importantly, condoms. He had to find those.
Pat-pat. Yumin tiptoed around the bedroom. There was nothing particularly noticeable.
He went ahead and searched the bedside table and the dresser. If he were in a deep relationship with a lover, there would be contraceptives in places like these. That’s how it was in the dramas Yumin watched.
Fortunately, there was nothing in the dresser. It was literally empty.
Phew. For now, the items I was worried about are gone. Still, just in case, let’s look for long hair.
Just in case, Yumin searched the room thoroughly. He even crawled under the bed and came back out.
He was struggling and grunting for a long time when Tae-jun opened the door wide and entered. He was wearing a thin t-shirt and stylish sweatpants. It was the first time he looked so relaxed, and Yumin’s heart pounded.
“Did you finish eating? You were playing by yourself.”
Tae-jun picked Yumin up. Tae-jun smelled of fragrant body wash. Yumin stuck out his prickly tongue and licked his cheek, shak-shak.
“Haha. It stings.”
Yumin subtly felt Tae-jun’s firm chest with his front paws. His toes tingled.
Uh oh.
For a moment, Yumin’s body was lifted into the air. Tae-jun had brought Yumin to the bed.
“Let’s lie down.”
Yumin ended up lying next to Tae-jun. The hand stroking his back was soft, and when Yumin occasionally head-butted him affectionately, Tae-jun would scratch Yumin’s cheek. Yumin started purring from the sheer pleasure. He even exposed his belly, something he would never allow anyone but close relatives. His family elders would have been furious, accusing him of abandoning his dignity, but Tae-jun’s thick, firm fingers were optimized for touching felines.
Then, suddenly, Tae-jun stopped all movement and cast a shadow over Yumin.
“Hmm… Just a moment.”
And then, without warning, he grabbed Yumin’s short hind legs and spread them wide.
“Kyaong!”
Yumin let out a startled wildcat sound. But Tae-jun paid no mind and stared intently between Yumin’s spread legs.
Why is he suddenly doing this? Why is he looking there!
Yumin couldn’t fathom Tae-jun’s intentions. He was just lying there with his legs spread, and Tae-jun’s hand slowly reached out and touched Yumin’s treasure pouch.
“Kyaoong!”
Tae-jun fumbled with Yumin’s treasure pouch for a long time, then nodded.
“As expected, he’s a mature male cat. This is enough to do it right away.”
Leaving Yumin stunned, Tae-jun sat up. He found his phone and made a call.
“Hello, Professor. Yes, I’m doing well.”
Where on earth is he calling? Yumin perked up his ears.
“I rescued a Korean Shorthair cat from the street. I want to get him neutered.”
Kyaaa!
Yumin almost shrieked. Come to think of it, on their blind date, Tae-jun had said something like that. He said if he caught the cat next time, he’d just go ahead and take its balls off.
“Is tomorrow afternoon possible? I happen to be free then, so it’s perfect.”
Although it wasn’t noticeable because of his dark fur, Yumin turned pale. He felt dizzy, as if he were on a rocking boat.
“Yes. Then I’ll book it for tomorrow afternoon. Thank you.”
After hanging up, Tae-jun returned to the bed and lay down. Yumin had a vacant look in his eyes, but Tae-jun seemed pleased.
Tae-jun stroked Yumin’s hind legs with both hands.
“Your paws are really black. There’s someone near me who only wears black socks.”
Huh? Could this be about me?
Yumin suddenly snapped back to reality.
“I used to wear only black socks, but one time I wore colored socks… that was really….”
He waited to hear what would follow. But Tae-jun trailed off.
“By the way, you need a name. You can’t go to the hospital tomorrow and say ‘Meow’.”
Tae-jun tapped Yumin’s paw.
“You’re wearing black socks too, so let’s name you accordingly. Kkama-ri… No. Kkamyang? Yes, Kkamyang sounds good.”
Tae-jun suddenly smiled like a cherry blossom in full bloom. His smile was so beautiful that Yumin momentarily forgot the horror of neutering.
But the next moment, Tae-jun’s gaze returned to Yumin’s groin.
“Tomorrow, your nuts will be gone. Today is your last day as a male. Kkamyang.”
His voice was soft, but to Yumin, it sounded like a devil’s curse.
Yumin pretended to be asleep. He even made sleep-talking sounds so Tae-jun wouldn’t suspect. Then, when Tae-jun was sound asleep, he slipped out of the master bedroom.
The front door lock looked complicated, and he couldn’t figure out how to open it. It’s easy to open your own door, but anyone would get lost at a friend’s house.
If he fiddled with it carelessly, the alarm might go off. It would be impossible for a wildcat’s paw to operate the buttons, not a human hand. It would be better to wait patiently for the right moment.
Yumin returned to bed and curled up next to Tae-jun. He endured the rest of the night soberly until morning.
As the sun rose, Tae-jun woke up.
“Kkamyang. Did you sleep well?”
Yumin pretended to wake up too, yawned, and stretched his front paws.
Tae-jun busied himself getting ready, moving between the bathroom and the room, and then prepared food and water for Yumin.
“Hyung is going to class, and I’ll be back in the afternoon. We’re going for neutering then, so you have to wait obediently. Okay?”
“Nya… ah….”
“Kkamyang, answer me.”
“Meow.”
Yumin reluctantly answered. Tae-jun left with a satisfied smile.
Let’s get out of here quickly! This place is dangerous. So, so dangerous!
The wildcat humanized on the spot. With a poof! sound, a naked young man appeared. In his haste, he almost ran out the door.
“Ah. Clothes!”
Since he came as a wildcat, he had no clothes to wear. Yumin panicked and flailed in the middle of the living room.
“I’ll steal them.”
He decided to commit righteous theft.
He quickly entered the walk-in closet and ransacked Tae-jun’s wardrobe. The clothes were all luxurious and elegant, so he felt like his disappearance would leave a trace.
After much deliberation, Yumin took out a white t-shirt and gray shorts hidden in the deepest part. The size was too big and baggy, but he didn’t care. As long as he could escape like a human.
Reaching the entrance, Yumin now needed shoes. But then he realized that shoes, compared to clothes, were items that would be noticeably missing. Whether they were slippers or heels.
“Ugh….”
Yumin wracked his brain and chose the shoes stored on the top shelf of the shoe rack. He figured they were placed high up because they weren’t worn often.
“Hup!”
The shoes were on a very high shelf. Yumin jumped forcefully and nudged the sneakers. Even in his humanized form, his jumping ability and elasticity were good, so he managed to knock the shoes to the floor without much difficulty.
“They’re too big!”
What is your shoe size?
The sneakers were far too large for Yumin, whose feet were small for his height. It was difficult even to walk.
But anyway, other shoes would be the same size. Yumin boldly folded down the heels of the sneakers and began to unlock the door.
Tae-jun stopped shortly after heading to school. It was due to a sudden class cancellation notice.
This is the International Business Administration TA. Class is canceled today.
In his group chat, a wave of joy surged. Students who received a free period without any cost were excitedly planning to go play games or have drinks from the morning.
Messages poured in for Tae-jun as well. Chats, messages, calls – all sorts.
Tae-jun, where are you?
Beom Tae-jun. Can you talk now?
Ignoring the numerous messages and alarms, he replied to only one chat.
I’m not going to school today.
It was a chat room named ‘Art Department’.
Tae-jun, who opened the front door and entered, was taken aback. Kkamyang was nowhere to be seen.
“Kkamyang.”
Kkamyang wasn’t in the bedroom or the kitchen. Had he gone out alone and opened the door? He had vanished like a ghost. This officetel was watertight, and all the windows were tightly shut, yet…
“I was going to go to the hospital early…”
How could this happen? Tae-jun couldn’t understand. Had he dreamed of a cat? He let out a hollow laugh.
He sat down heavily at the entrance, frowning.
Then, something caught his eye. A single strand of jet-black hair.
Tae-jun picked it up and examined it closely. Its length was much longer than Tae-jun’s hair, and the strands were fine.
“…Hmm….”
Tae-jun narrowed his eyes and stared at the hair.
