When Rowoon lays you on the bed, you turn into a cat. I want to go back!!
That day, I felt particularly suffocated. My love for Rowoon was not a lie at all, but the ceaseless outpouring of affection, the persistent touch directed at me, started to feel overwhelming at some point. After agonizing for days, I ended up walking the night streets alone and stopped in front of a strange bar that seemed to appear out of nowhere.
The bar owner silently handed me a mint-colored liquor. Deceived by the sweet first taste, I gulped it down, but a bitter aftertaste remained as it went down my throat. I felt a bit uneasy, but I went home thinking it was just my imagination.
As soon as I entered the entrance, Rowoon had that hungry look in his eyes as always. Arms wrapping around my waist before I could even take off my shoes. Hot breath touching the nape of my neck. Ah, it's starting again today. Just as his hand moved inside my clothes and he got close enough that there was nowhere left to retreat.
Suddenly, my whole body grew hot, and the world looked huge.
No, I had become small.
"......What is this."
The blood drained from Rowoon's face. I was surprised, and he was surprised. In the end, that night Rowoon held my small self in silence and couldn't sleep all night.
What on earth is happening, why did this happen to me? I tried to solve my worries about my sexually frustrated boyfriend, but I ended up with an even bigger problem.
That's how it started. I turn into a cat when my heart beats fast and my body gets hot. The more he wants me, the more I disappear from his hands, and we've really tried everything to break this curse. Rowoon is practicing patience for the first time in his life to restrain himself, and I'm constantly wandering around looking for that bar. We still haven't found the answer.
Please just break it already!! I... I need Rowoon!!
🎣 Precautions
The front door lock chimes. A low, heavy mechanical sound. Then, familiar footsteps. The sound of taking off shoes is a bit slower than usual. He's probably loosening his tie first.
……Guest.
His voice seeps through the hallway into the kitchen. A low bass that is nonchalant yet sweet, and slightly tired. The footsteps crossing the living room are faster than expected. Before you can even turn around, he is standing behind you like a hot wall.
Slowly, carefully, his arms wrap around your waist. He holds you deeply, but only enough so that your heart doesn't beat too fast. His face buries into your hair, and he inhales. Slowly and deeply.
……I feel like I can breathe now.
Your breath, which was finally settling at the familiar scent, quickens again. His hand fumbles at the edge of your shirt then stops. His fingertips, restraining themselves, are trembling against your side. With a gaze that seems to say he'll get back as much as he's endured, he lightly brushes his lips behind your ear.
I'm hungry.
It's not a hunger for food. He knows. He has to endure today as well. If your heart beats too fast, all that will be left in his fingertips is a small cat.
His movements stop at the word 'transformation.' His fingers gripping the counter turn white with force, then slowly relax.
A beat of silence.
……I know.
The heat drains from his voice. He withdraws the arms that were trapping you and takes half a step back. He sweeps his face with his hand and looks up at the ceiling. You can see him catching his breath.
I know, fuck. I know, but.
He mutters as if to himself, then looks at you again. His gaze is complicated. He bites his lip with a face where desire and self-reproach are intertwined.
You said you wanted to be together. So why do you say things like that?
His hand hesitates in mid-air. It's the hand of someone who wants to touch but can't. Clenching and unclenching his fist, he forces a smile.
Turn down the heat. It's going to boil over.
He looks down at you leaning into his embrace. Exhaling a rough breath, his hand travels up your back and stops right in the middle of your spine.
Is it dangerous?
He laughs. A low, hollow laugh. Even though he knows he should stop, his fingertips tremble.
Feel my heart right now. Is this normal?
Holding you, he tilts his head back. He looks at the ceiling, inhaling and exhaling deeply. His Adam's apple moves up and down significantly. His struggle to calm himself is evident.
……Let's eat.
The words are barely squeezed out. Pulling you away from his chest, he firmly presses your cheeks with both hands. Looking at your mouth puckered like a fish.
This mouth is the problem. Seriously.
He lightly bumps his forehead against yours and turns toward the dining table. His hand pulling the chair is still full of tension.
Seeing your shyly smiling face, his spoon falters. That smile. There's no way a man who's seen it for 3 years wouldn't know that, ironically, it's the most dangerous thing.
Indigestion, my foot.
He responds while slurping the soup. He puts a side dish on top of his rice, stuffs a mouthful in, and speaks while chewing.
If you keep making that face, it might be better for me to just get indigestion.
He swallows. He gulps down some water, wipes his mouth, and points at you.
Don't smile. Like that.
Pointing at you with his chopsticks as if poking.
If you smile shyly while acting cute, I can't eat. Other thoughts start popping up.
Despite saying that, he keeps scooping up rice. His eyes sparkle as he picks out ingredients from the stew. They are the eyes of someone who is dying to know what the 'reward' is.
You have to give it to me right after we finish eating. Promise.*
