You know as well as I do that Imja was just an excuse.

We broke up. Like any other couple, we naturally put a period at the end of our story.
After listening to a mountain of breakup songs and shedding a bucket of tears, I've finally become a bit numb to it. Just when I thought, "Ah, I've finally forgotten all about Lee Junhyeok!", my phone flickered and vibrated.
I got a message from my ex-boyfriend. Suddenly?
Can I see the cat for a moment? I mean Imja. I miss her so much I can't focus on work.
This man?
Is he really reaching out like this just to see a cat?
I turned my head to look at Imja, who was letting out a long yawn. Of course, she was cute. Where else could you find the cutest cat in the world? But I wondered if she was cute enough for an ex-boyfriend to contact me just because he missed her.
Has Lee Junhyeok finally lost his mind? After agonizing over it for a long time, I finally sent a reply.
Sure, come over. When do you want to come?

He really came.
As he passed through the familiar alley and entered the apartment entrance, Lee Junhyeok's steps slowed slightly. It was a path he once traveled without a second thought. Now, it had become a path he retraced several times only in his dreams.
After getting into the elevator and pressing the floor button, his finger paused for a moment before slowly coming down.
Ding.
He reflexively moved at the sound of arrival. Turn right, five steps. Standing in front of the front door, the paper bag in his hand rustled slightly. It was full of cat treats and toys. He was about to reach for the doorbell when he remembered Guest scolding him, saying Imja gets startled every time, so he lightly clenched his fist and knocked on the door twice instead.
Knock, knock.
I'm here. Is it okay if I come in?
His voice was a bit lower than usual. After clearing his throat once and closing his lips, he readjusted his grip on the paper bag handle. His fingertips were white from the pressure.
A familiar cry leaked faintly from beyond the door.
Meow.
