The Wife is a Superstar 1

Chapter 151 - Side Story: Leo and Lily

Their memories before Mommy and Daddy were hazy. They vaguely remembered a bigger, warm, furry body who frequently licked them clean. The body felt comfortable and safe. There also seemed other little ones besides the two of them.

Then one day, several scary-sounding monsters took everyone away, leaving only the two of them behind. They felt so hungry and so cold. They could only rub against each other to make themselves feel warmer. They cried and cried, but still nobody came.

After what felt like forever, they heard a pretty voice. Moments later, there was another voice, deep and scary. They felt afraid of the second voice, but the pretty voice rubbed them gently, calming them down.

The pretty voice and the scary voice took them somewhere. They were very scared, but they felt safe with the two voices.

Everything was a blur during that day, but it was the best day of their lives. They were fed with milk. Though the milk wasn't as yummy as the one they got from the bigger, warm, furry body before. Finally, they were warm, comfortable and safe again.

Later, they learned that the pretty voice was their Mommy and the scary voice was their Daddy. They also began to learn of their own names: Lily and Leo.

Mommy was the best. She would talk and sing to them with her pretty voice. They would always feel calm and safe whenever she was near.

Daddy was still a little scary, but he treated them nicely. He wasn't as gentle as Mommy, but he never hurt them. He would also often stick close to Mommy. They liked him better when he smelled a little like Mommy.

Lily and Leo were very happy. They loved their Mommy and Daddy the most in the whole world. Well, the truth was that they loved Mommy way more than Daddy. But it was okay because they knew that Daddy also loved Mommy more than the two of them.

To Lily and Leo, there were only two types of people in the world.

First were Mommy and Daddy who were the most important to them. It was because of Mommy and Daddy that they were able to have such a wonderful and safe home.

Second were their slaves. Everyone at home, except for Mommy and Daddy, were their slaves. The one called Wonjae was Slave #1. They liked him the most among their slaves because he always seemed to know what they wanted. If they wanted milk or food, he would feed them. If they wanted to play, he would play with them. Their other slaves were also nice but they couldn't understand them the way Slave #1 understood them.

However, there were times that they hated Slave #1 because he would bring them to a nice-looking man who they already met on the same day Mommy and Daddy found them. He had a nice and gentle voice but deep inside, he was actually a monster in disguise!

The monster in disguise would uncomfortably rub and press all over their bodies, force their mouths wide open, and then shine bright lights in their eyes making them go blind for a few seconds. Then he would stick something cold and hard in their butts. Unforgivable! But this was not the worst thing that he did to them.

The worst thing was the Ouchy! The Ouchy was a very thin, sharp thing that he would use to stab them. So painful! They would scratch and roar, showing everyone not to mess with them, but the monster would just hold them down and continue to stab them! They would cry painfully, calling for their Mommy and Daddy to save them. They hated Slave #1 during those times because he would be laughing happily and taking photos of their suffering.

The monster was called "doctor" or "vet".

Leo wasn't too smart so he turned to Lily. "Big Sister, what do 'doctor' and 'vet' mean?"

Lily gave him a bored glance, licking her paw. "It means 'evil monster'. So Leo, whenever you hear those words, you have to run and hide quickly."

"Oh, I see. You're so smart! Wanna play? Let's play! I wanna play!"

Their daily life was full of adventures. When they grew a little bigger and stronger, Mommy finally let them out of the big door. They didn't know that their home was actually bigger than they imagined.

They loved it whenever Mommy sat in front of a big, white thing called the piano and make wonderful sounds come out of it. Lily would rub against Mommy's leg until Mommy placed her on top of the piano. Leo preferred to run all around, singing along with the wonderful sounds. Mommy would praise him, making him happy.

One day, they were in their room. Lily, sleeping peacefully on her fluffy bed, was abruptly awoken by Leo.

"Big Sister, wake up! Something bad is happening!"

"What is it?" Lily felt grumpy from having her beauty sleep disturbed by her hyperactive brother.

"We gotta help Mommy! Mommy's in danger!"

"What?!" Lily was instantly awake.

"Look there! Daddy is hurting Mommy!"

Lily turned and saw Mommy lying on the couch, Daddy on top of her.

Leo: "Daddy's eating Mommy's face! Listen, Mommy's making crying noises. I bet she's in pain! She also sounds like she can't breathe! We gotta save her! Bad Daddy!"

The two ran to save their precious Mommy. Leo arrived first, biting Daddy's pants. He shook his head and roared. Lily also arrived and tried to climb up the couch, crying loudly, trying to make Daddy stop.

"You always taste so sweet, baby." Lisa panted.

Jennie moaned. "Lisa...kiss me more..."

They were so into each other that they didn't notice their kittens making a ruckus below them.

Leo: "Big Sister, Daddy won't stop! What should we do?"

Lily: "Bite him."

"Okay!" Leo opened his mouth and then bit hard on Daddy's leg. Unfortunately, he still loved his Daddy, so he held back from drawing blood.

"Ah!" The sharp pain on his leg snapped Lisa out of his desire. "What the he― Leo! What are you doing?! Stop! Let go!"

He grabbed the kitten by the scruff of its neck.

Leo hissed and swiped his extended claws at his Daddy.

"Stop it," Lisa growled.

The kitten started crying pitifully.

"Okay, that's enough. Don't be so harsh on him. He's still a baby." Jennie took Leo gently from Lisa's hand. She also scooped up the meowing Lily from the floor.

The two immediately dove into their Mommy's embrace and looked up at her face, checking to see if she was alright.

"Why are you suddenly acting like this? Are you two in pain?" Jennie asked in concern. Then she turned to Lisa. "Should we take them to the vet?"

The two kittens immediately froze. They hurriedly jumped off the couch and ran to hide.

Jennie: "What was that about?"

Lisa: "Who knows?"

Jennie: "Are they sick?"

Lisa: "Doesn't look like it. Don't worry about them. Our kids are healthy."

When Mommy and Daddy left, Lily and Leo were already sleeping in their hiding spots.

The next day, they had already forgotten the incident of Daddy eating Mommy's face. Upon hearing the cursed word "vet", this entire chunk of yesterday's memories were automatically erased from their minds.

And so the wonderful life of Lily and Leo continued.
