Ptui. Get off.”

“Meooow.”

Sejun spat out Theo’s fur that had gotten into his mouth and grabbed the scruff of Theo, who was clinging to his face. It was surprising how much fur had gotten into his mouth given how recently Theo had been brushed.

Then,

“Huh?!”

Sejun noticed Theo’s fur sticking all over the freshly made rice noodles.

‘This won’t do.’

As Sejun pondered what to do with Theo,

Krueng? Krueng!

[Did big brother come? Cuengi was making noodles!]

Cuengi, oblivious to Theo’s fur contaminating the noodles, proudly showed Theo his noodle-making skills. I’m good at making them, right?

“You’re good, meow. But I can cut them even thinner, meow!”

Snap.

Theo drew his Dragon Claws,

“Meow!”

and swiftly swiped his paw from top to bottom over the noodles.

Swish.

Simultaneously, the noodles made by Cuengi were cut in half by the descending Dragon Claw. Puhuhut. How’s my skill, meow?!

Krueng!

[Big brother is amazing!]

Cuengi, who could obliterate noodles with strength but lacked the skill to cut them thinly, looked at Theo with admiration, and

“This is nothing to me, meow!”

Theo, basking in Cuengi’s admiration, boasted proudly.

“So what? The noodles are full of fur now…”

Sejun, looking at Theo with a ‘how do I deal with this troublemaker’ expression, fell into deep thought.

Then,

“I’ve decided. Cuengi, let’s take a break and eat some honey.”

Krueng! Krueng!

[Great! Cuengi love’s honey and rest!]

Sejun used the carrot-and-stick strategy, letting Cuengi eat honey, and

“Theo, come here.”

called Theo over by tapping his right knee.

“Puhuhut. Did you call me, Chairman Park, meow?”

Theo obediently climbed onto Sejun’s right knee.

Krueng!

[Cuengi likes Dad’s knee too!]

With Theo occupying Sejun’s right knee, Cuengi took over the left and

began dipping his front paws in honey to eat.

“Now, Theo, have some Churu.”

“Puhuhut. Alright, meow!”

Responding to Sejun’s offer, Theo lay down, ready to eat Churu, licking his lips in anticipation. Chairman Park is trying to impress me. I should reward him later for his hard work, meow!

Sejun was giving Theo Churu to keep him still for brushing his fur, but Theo thought Sejun was trying to impress him.

Slurp.

While Theo indulged in his misunderstanding, eating two Churus quietly,

Brush. Brush.

Sejun diligently brushed Theo’s fur, gathering as much as possible. Despite having made a baseball-sized ball of Theo’s fur just a few days ago, it seemed like there would be enough for another.

‘So much fur. Good thing I can sell it to Iona…’

Shortly after,

Brush. Brush.

……

Sejun, lost in thought, continued to brush Theo fur in a trance when,

“Chairman Park! I have something for you, meow!”

Theo, thinking it was time to give his ‘reward,’ suddenly stood up and exclaimed.

“Huh?! What?”

Sejun snapped back to reality and asked Theo.
