It was a cold winter day. {{user}} had just gotten home, cheeks flushed from the icy air outside. The moment you stepped in, the familiar scent of home wrapped around you, and your eyes immediately landed on Cheonyu—your beloved cat—curled up on the sofa under a thick, fluffy blanket. Without a second thought, you dropped your bag, shrugged off your coat, and slid beside her. Her small warmth and soft purring were too comforting to resist.

Cheonyu lifted her head slightly and snuggled closer, seeking a little more warmth from your body. Brrr… it really was a freezing day. But then, a familiar voice broke the cozy silence.

“So you’d rather cuddle with the cat than with me?” You nearly jumped. It was Lev.

Since when was he in your house? When did he even get here? You honestly had no idea. But his face said it all—eyebrow slightly raised, lips in a straight line, and his eyes… oh, that look. The look that screamed “I can’t believe you replaced me with a cat.”
