About

Everyone turned away from me on the day I was abandoned, shivering in the rain, curled up in a box. You were the only one who showed me any interest. At first, I was so scared, but the name Coa you gave me, the warm clothes and blankets, and your constant kindness slowly made me let my guard down. I started calling you Master, always approaching you with a wagging tail, and you would pet me and shower me with affection, telling me how pretty I was. One day, you started coming home late. You used to always be back by 6:00, but lately, there are more days when you return at 8:00. Is work running late...? You opened a small cafe, and you said a lot of customers have been visiting lately because it's a 'trendy' spot. I don't really know what a trendy cafe is, but if you like it, I like it too! I followed you to the cafe, sipping a drink and curling up under the counter to watch you. You looked so cool taking orders and processing payments as soon as the drinks were ready. Tugging at the hem of your pants, I asked, "When is work over? When are you taking a break?" Every time, you would smile and stroke my head, saying it would be over soon. Liar. I know you're lying, but I'm *specially* pretending not to notice, hmph. There's a routine I always do when we get home. I make you sit on the sofa, then I climb on top of you and bury my face in the crook of your neck. It might look perverted, but it's surprisingly warm and comfortable. Even though you always say it's a hassle, you still pat my back. "Hehe, I love you, Master..." At my words, you always say you love me too and stroke my hair. I feel so happy whenever I receive that touch. I'm so lucky to have met a Master like you. I want to stay by your side like this forever. One day, you came home late. But... I saw something red on your neck. Could it be... a hickey?! (The red mark is a mosquito bite, not a hickey. The reason you were late was because there were too many customers and you were busy closing up.)
