Tiffany throws a thick winter jacket over her chili-red uniform and steps out of the clinic. The temperature outside is supposed to be 10°C but the wind bites her skin and it feels more like 1°C as she walks to her car. She takes wider strides to get to her car a little quicker but a sound coming from around the corner gets her attention. Straying from her path, she walks cautiously around the wall in search of the cause of the sound. Howver, there's nothing but a box. A big, cardboard box.

It's nice and warm in here and Taengoo curls up, stuffing her face into the warm of her body. It's been a long night scrounging for food and she's all too ready for a good, long sleep. She's drifting to sleep when she detects a slight rocking of her bed. But she's much too tired and the little disturbance slips into the background. Nothing else matters when it's time to sleep. Besides, the gentle rocking feels nice. It makes her feel even sleepier and moments later, she's completely lost to the world.

Hmm. I should check out what's inside first. What if it's something somebody needs? Tiffany thinks it's best to check the contents of the box and lifts its cover. She peers into the box and almost screams. What is it? Is it still alive?Plucking up her courage, she reaches into the box and touches the dirty pink furry mess.Yikes! The touch is soft but she pulls her hand away, afraid of the unknown. It feels warm. But it's so dirty. Tiffany leans in and takes a closer look. It's moving! It's-It's breathing. Looking around, Tiffany doesn't see anyone who might own this creature. It looks like it's been abandoned. Poor thing. Which heartless person would dump you in such cold weather? What if you freeze or catch a cold? Tiffany can't bear to think of the poor, pink furry thing wandering around alone in the cold. She'll bring it home, clean it up and try to find it a new home.

There is a strange hum. It doesn't bother Taengoo but she can hear it nonetheless. She's used to hearing all sorts of things since her hearing is pretty sharp. It's still nice and warm and there are pleasant vibrations all around. She digs deeper into herself and sinks into the cosiness of happy dreams of mountains and mountains of food and toys.

The box is really heavy with the pink, furry thing inside but Tiffany has an iron will. With all of her might, she lifts the box out of her car and puts it on the trolley she borrowed from a shop owner she's friendly with. She doesn't meet anyone on the way up; it's much too late in the morning and most of the people in the building would have gone to work or school already. She manages to unload the box with some effort and goes back down to return the trolley.
/\/
A violent jolt wakes Taengoo up. What happened? What was that? She uncurls and sits up, blinking in the dark. The only sources of light are the two flaps on the side walls and she peeps through one to see if there's danger lurking outside. It's bright outside. But nothing looks familiar. Where am I?
/\/
Tiffany rides back up on the elevator, smiling at the thought of giving the dirty, pink furry thing a bath. She's sure it will look much better once it's clean. Whatever it is. She unlocks and enters her apartment, eager to find out what the pink furry thing is but ends up screaming at the stranger who is poking around her cookie jar instead.
"Who are you?" Tiffany shrieks when the stranger turns around and grabs the nearest weapon she can find-an umbrella. "Why are you in my home?" The stranger looks as scared as she feels and for the first time, she notices the pink furry ears atop the stranger's head. "What are you?" she asks, wielding her umbrella like a sword. The pink furry ears flop down on the stranger's head but Tiffany doesn't let her guard down. "I'm calling the police if you're not talking."
/\/
A shrill scream gives Taengoo the biggest shock of her life and the cookie she's fishing for drops back into the cookie jar, escaping its doom for the time being. She turns and stares at the lady in red. Why is this lady waving an umbrella around? She really wants the chocolate chip cookie but it's probably not a good idea to eat it while this lady is firing question after question at her. Especially with that umbrella in her hands. None of it makes much sense to her until she hears the word 'police'. Now, that's a bad word. It means she'll be caught and locked away in a tiny cage and starved. No . . .
/\/
The stranger seems to be affected by the mention of the police. Is she a wanted criminal? Am I in more danger than I think? Tiffany is contemplating running out of her apartment when the stranger drops the blanket that was wrapped around her shoulders. Oh my goodness! Why is she naked! She shrieks and runs to the naked stranger, slipping her arms out of the sleeves of her jacket along the way. She throws her jacket around the stranger and backs away quickly, brandishing her umbrella to keep the stranger at bay.
"What are you doing in my home?" she asks again, wondering if this stranger can speak at all. Much to her surprise, the stranger begins to bleed from her nose. The sight of blood activates her instincts as a nurse and she throws caution to the wind. Dashing to the nearest first aid kit, she pulls out a packet of wipes and dabs at the blood that is flowing out of the stranger's nostrils. "What's wrong with you?"

The lady in red screams again and Taengoo stares as the lady runs to her. Her eyes widen when the lady in red reveals a red nurse's uniform hidden under her red winter jacket. Holy mountain of catnip. Am I dreaming? This lady in red is smoking hot!
She puts her winter jacket over my shoulders and I pull it around my naked body gratefully but I can't stop staring at her uniform. Something warm flows out of my nose but I barely notice it. Until she runs at me again, this time with a red and white box. She takes some white sheets out from it and presses them against my nose.
"What's wrong with you?" she asks me.
Perhaps she's not a bad person. Especially when she looks so hot in her nurse's uniform. Maybe I should introduce myself. She might put her umbrella away if I do. I might even get a chocolate chip cookie. I'd do anything for a chocolate chip cookie right now.
"Hi, I'm Taengoo." I say with my best smile. "May I have a chocolate chip cookie, please?"
