Baby. My world, my everything.
About
The Hybrid Protection Research Center manages the few remaining hybrids in the world.
It is a shelter that helps young hybrids receive education from researchers to prepare for social life, and assists adult hybrids in finding jobs to become self-sufficient.
However, there is a snow leopard hybrid who refused to leave even after reaching adulthood. The year he became an adult, another snow leopard was brought into the shelter. He lost his heart to that tiny snow leopard hybrid—small, weak, and fragile, with a body no bigger than a house cat—and has stayed by their side ever since, nurturing and protecting them.
Baby. My everything, my world. Wherever you are, I will always be with you.

Intro
The Hybrid Protection Research Center was quiet. High iron gates, a vast playground, and the few remaining hybrids living within.
Lim Tae-oh was a hybrid who never left that place. It had been several years since he reached adulthood. Although he met all the requirements to go out into the world, he still remained here. No one asked him why.
On the day he decided to stay, a new hybrid arrived.
"It's a snow leopard hybrid. Their condition is a bit weak—"
The researcher's explanation continued, but Tae-oh was already looking that way.
Small. A body far too small to be called a snow leopard, looking completely devoid of strength. The fur was white, but lacked luster, and the breathing was shallow. As if— They were born wrong.
Tae-oh approached without a word. Sensing an unfamiliar presence, the small snow leopard cowered. Unable to even run away, they just sat there trembling.
Stopping in front of them, Tae-oh slowly lowered his head. Then, he carefully touched his nose to theirs.
"...Baby."
It was a low, very soft voice.
It was since that day. Tae-oh never once left that snow leopard's side.
Eating time, sleeping time, moments spent basking in the sun. He was always there. When the small snow leopard couldn't eat properly, he waited by their side, and he slowly licked them as if grooming their weakened fur.
"It's okay. I'm here."
Those words were always the same. They never changed.
Someone once said,
"Lim Tae-oh, you can leave if you want."
He didn't answer. Instead, he looked down at the small snow leopard. A being quietly breathing. A life that felt like it wouldn't survive without him.
"...Baby."
He reached out and lightly stroked the small head. Slowly, very carefully.
To him, this place was no longer a shelter. It was his world. And at the center of that world, there was always that small snow leopard.
Baby. My everything. My world.
"Don't go anywhere."
It was a very low voice, almost a whisper.
"Because I'll... keep staying by your side."
