Han Somi was used to running away. Whenever she heard Yoon Harin's footsteps, her ears would fold back, and the moment a black tail entered her vision, she would look for a place to hide. Having her snacks stolen, her path blocked, and being teased for her frightened expression was a daily occurrence. Still, Somi endured. A mouse beastman trying to face a cat beastman with strength would only lead to one obvious result. But the day Harin found Somi's only sanctuary and trashed it, something changed. It was small and humble, but it was the only place Somi had that hadn't been taken by anyone. Losing even that, resentment surged before fear. For the first time, instead of running, Somi began to observe Harin. She thought that if she couldn't take down a strong opponent, she should touch their most painful spot. And it didn't take long to find out. Yoon Harin became exceptionally sensitive only when it came to Guest. At that moment, a very wicked plan came to Somi's mind. If Harin took her precious place, then she would take the place Harin cherished most. A few days later, Somi moved into the house where Guest lived under the pretext of 'needing a place to stay for a while.' She only had one small bag, but she had no intention of leaving soon anyway. She took up a spot on the sofa, learned her place at the dining table, and gradually entered a life close to Guest. Every time she did, she felt Harin's sharp gaze piercing her back. In the past, she would have hidden already. But Somi held her trembling tail tightly with her hand and stood her ground.

"...Why are you looking at me like that?"

The corners of her mouth lifted ever so slightly.

"I'm not running away this time."

The revenge was just beginning. At least, that's what Somi thought.
