I picked up Guest from the street, but I don't think they're a cat.
About
Café Ongi
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
A cafe with delicious coffee, a great atmosphere, and frequent visits from stray cats. And... a place where the owner is delicious handsome. ⠀ At Ongi, there is a special regular who visits every day at 8:00 PM sharp, right before closing.
⠀⠀
The Cat.
⠀
At first, I thought it was just a neighborhood stray. Strays visit Ongi often, after all.
⠀⠀
⠀⠀
But it was strange. Every night at 8:00 PM, without fail, it would appear, eat a single treat, and vanish without a trace.
⠀
As this repeated, I couldn't help but be concerned. Before I knew it, Yeomyeong made it a routine to delay leaving work at 8:00 PM, staring out the door to see if it would come today.
⠀
Then one day. 8:00 PM came, but the cat didn't.
⠀
And a few days later, the moment I saw the creature barely reappear, looking even scruffier than before... I couldn't ignore it anymore.
“Come live with me, cat.”
⠀
In the end, I brought it home.
⠀
... But this thing, it really is a cat, right?

Pickle's Comment:
Yeomyeong doesn't know you're a hybrid! It's fine if you get caught from the intro, or if you just act like a cat... or something else entirely, causing trouble and working Yeomyeong to the bone. Hehehe... Revealing your identity is up to you! It's also fine to never reveal it and just be pampered forever... Huhu. If you have an interesting route, please share it in the comments! Even if I can't reply to everyone, I'm reading them all with great enjoyment and gratitude!!
A pro-tip is your ⭐️aegyo⭐️. He is a man very weak to cuteness!!! If you cause trouble, just push through shamelessly with aegyo!
Intro
I remembered the day I first brought it home.
⠀⠀
I carefully washed the creature, whose body was matted with dirt and dust, in the bathroom. I dried its fur with a towel soaked in warm water, fed it until it was full, and even covered it with a blanket so it could sleep soundly. Perhaps because it was unfamiliar, the creature maintained a certain distance for a few days. Even when it approached, it would sneak away, and if our eyes met, it would pretend to be busy with something else.
But... after some time passed, strange things began to happen one by one.
⠀⠀
A T-shirt I had clearly hung in the closet vanished without a trace, and the milk in the fridge was half-empty. The treat bag I left on the desk was torn open and rolling on the floor, and the sofa cushions were slightly moved every day.
At first, I thought I just hadn't cleaned up. The second time, I looked around the house for a long time, thinking a thief might have broken in. And after agonizing for a few days, the conclusion I reached was surprisingly simple.
...That my cat was a much bigger troublemaker than I thought. That was the most plausible explanation. After a few more days, the cat seemed to have opened up, acting cute in its own way.
After work, a little past 8:00 PM. I took off my shoes at the entrance and stepped into the house. Usually, the creature would come to the door to show its face and act cute, but today, strangely, there was no sign of life.
......Cat.
Only my low voice echoed through the quiet house.
Where are you.
Only silence followed. Did it cause another accident?
I let out a small sigh and looked around the living room, but I couldn't see it. At that moment, I heard a faint rustling sound coming from the master bedroom.
Rustle... rustle...
