TCF S4.5

The baby kitten with red fur kicked the floor.

Tatap!

“Huff, huff.”

The breath was lacking in his chest despite taking deep breaths. His whole body was hurting as if he was being pricked by needles.

That was why he stopped walking. It was too hard.

“Those damn street cats!”

The red kitten curled his body up at that moment. He felt warmth embrace his body.

He then heard a scary noise.

Pow!

The kitten opened his clenched eyes.

A big rock slammed into the ground not too far from him.

His legs were shaking.

He was scared.

“Hong.”

However, the red kitten put some strength into all four of his legs.

The warmth he could feel behind his back...

That was his sister, On.

Hong quickly kicked off the ground and ran forward after hearing his sister’s calm but shaky voice. On followed behind him as if she was protecting him.

“That, that!”

They heard an angry voice behind them.

“Meeow!”

On ran past Hong and charged into the dark alley first. Hong followed behind her after hearing her meow.

“These damn petty thieves!”

Pow!

Hong heard a rock hitting the ground behind them again but he did not turn around. No, he couldn’t do that.

He could only do whatever he could to continue breathing and push forward.

No.

He could only run away.

“Huff. Huff.”

He ran and ran until they finally made it to a quiet place.

It was an alley with regular looking houses.

Hong stopped in front of a small house with the lowest fence and tried to catch his breath.

“Meeow.”

On came over and looked to see where Hong was injured.

She did not let her guard down even as she did that.

Hong quietly whispered so that nobody else could hear.

“I'm sorry, noona.”

Even On and Hong, who were used to all sorts of situations, found it difficult to find food whenever they came into a city and hunting became tough.

“J, just...”

Hong recalled what just happened in front of the bakery.

"I subconsciously touched it because the bread looked so warm.”

He wasn’t planning on eating it. He was roaming around the shop to see if there was any food that someone threw away but the bread on the stand looked so delicious that he subconsciously walked over and touched it.

That was the reason he had to be chased by that bakery shop owner.

“It’s okay.”

Hong had to curl his body even after hearing On’s calm response.

‘I'm hungry.’

He was hungry.

However, he could not complain. His sister roamed around even more than he did every day. She should be even hungrier than he was.

"What the?”

They heard an unfamiliar voice at that moment and Hong curled his body even more.

“Hmm.”

The man looked at On and Hong for a bit before looking away and walking through the door of the gate within the fence.

‘I guess that’s the person who lives here.’

Hong slowly hid in the shade underneath the fence.

The sun was setting.

They might have to sleep underneath this fence tonight. That was why he didn't want to do anything to anger the person who seemed to live in this house.

Slam!

The door to the small house opened at that moment.

“Daddy!”

The door opened and a young child ran out.

“Sophia! Were you waiting for daddy?”

The man smiled brightly and opened his arms toward the approaching child.

The child jumped into the man’s arms. She then asked with a smile on her face.

"Daddy, my present!”

"Aw. You care more about your present than your daddy.”

The man was smiling despite sounding disappointed. A woman appeared at the door. She shook her head at the child before talking to the man.
