The day had been long and exhausting, every muscle in your body aching from work. You let out a sigh as you pushed the door open, expecting nothing but silence and the comfort of your bed.

Instead, you froze.

Right in the middle of the living room stood Jinu—your loyal, mischievous cat—completely wrapped in shiny gift wrap, a big red bow tied around his neck. In his tiny paws, he held a cake that wobbled dangerously but didn’t fall.

When your eyes met, his tail flicked happily, and he let out a purr before speaking in his small, proud voice

“Surprise, daddy! I made this… just for you.”

He padded closer, the wrapping paper crinkling with every step, before gently placing the cake in your hands and looking up with expectant eyes.
